C21 (1/2)
Old Madem Qin was caught unawares, adding a layer of ice to the already complicated matter of the marriage.
”I don't agree to any of them!”
The mighty and mighty Xie Cen had actually scolded her by pointing at his nose. The Lady Xu, who was standing behind Xie Cen, had also suffered from the humiliation, and the two of them could be considered people with heads up, as they were currently unable to even lift their heads up their heads.
”Apart from a widower, he is a sick man who is about to go to the grave. Is he marrying a girl? That was pushing her into a fire pit! What did you promise me when the girls came to the capital? If you don't have the heart, then I'll personally pick it up for you! ”” If you don't have the heart, then just take it as a gift. It's not like we won't be able to get married in the first place, it's not like we won't be able to find it.
The old lady was not a match for the saint-like Old Madem in the capital. Although he looked kind and kind, his methods were also not lacking either, or she dragged his two sons by himself back then, making it impossible for her to stand up in the Xie Clan, where danger lurks everywhere. The reason Xie Cen had such great prospects today was related to the old lady's teachings.
She doted on her grandchildren in real pain, and he really cursed at them in the end. Xie Cen was also extremely respectful towards her even now, and did not dare to be disobedient in the slightest.
”Mother, your son admits that I have some selfish motives towards Third Sister's marriage, but the sons that she and I have chosen are all people that I can take out. I have wasted all of my thoughts on the future of character, as for the eldest young master of Marquis Mansion, he was personally proposed by Prince Jin's Wife, I did not know about it at all.”
”You are a genius, I don't believe that I can pave the way for you. Is it even possible that I can't find a better candidate than the Chen family in the entire capital?” I think you're crazy! So what if Prince Jin's Wife has personally mentioned it? She can't force us to marry our daughter, but if you don't give her face, I will push her away, and if she doesn't marry us, then it's fine if we just ignore such a person. Even if you manage to hook up with her, there will still be a day where you will be screwed. ”
Xie Cen was unable to refute a single word of the old lady's words, but he was truly troubled, ”Mother, things are not as you think. I had asked Third Sister about the Chen family, and she did not agree, so I have already made no decisions.
”Yes, mother, Third Sister is our daughter, we can't do anything about her. We've asked her about every single one of them, so how can we push her into a fire pit?”
Lady Xu could only be glad that she didn't let the old lady know about being Gu Heng's fiancee. Otherwise, she would be done for today.
The Qin family received repeated promises from the couple before they gave up. They did not go to the courtyard the Lady Xu had prepared for her and directly went to Xie Jingxi's room. When Xie Jingxi was chased out by the old lady, she knew that she was going to settle the score with them.
”You talkative girl, are you the one who secretly informed the Old Madem?” Xie Jingxi poked Ming Yu on the head, and was so angry that he wanted to beat her up, ”So you are my grandmother's Divine Reminder, how many letters did you carry me to, hmm? ”If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll call you to sleep under the crabapple tonight.”
”Girl, good girl, stop poking, it'll make you even more stupid if you poke again …” Ming Yu dodged and begged for mercy, ”I, I, how could I have the gall to do that? Isn't it because Old Madem asked me to send a letter to her regularly when she was in the capital? If she doesn't tell her the truth, she'll immediately point me at someone else.
”Aren't you afraid that I'll randomly point you at a deaf cripple?”
”Miss, Miss, I'm begging you, please spare me! This is truly a fight between gods, a disaster for mortals, just who did I offend …”
”You little fool, you're my little girl, not Grandmother's. I'm not saying that you should disobey her, if there's anything you need, at least tell me. If you bring the old lady to the capital so recklessly, my parents will definitely think that I'm the one who secretly complained, and they will definitely dislike me even more.”
”I-I was wrong, okay? But now that the old lady came, the old lady can't force you to marry anymore. With someone backing you up, what's wrong with that? I want to see who dares to bully you in the mansion.”
”If the old lady doesn't come, then am I bullied by someone? I can't rely on her for my entire life. After I marry someone, how can I not be angry?”
”What are you angry about? Who told you to suffer!”
The old lady entered the room without a word, shocking Xie Jingxi, ”Grandmother, when you're here, why didn't you greet me? Who can make me suffer, I'll do as you've taught me, suffer twice the anger, save it, return it a hundred times the time when the time is ripe. I'll save it all, don't worry, I won't lose anything.”
”Pfft, did I teach you that?” The old lady's thick fingers brushed against her forehead. ”They're letting you live in a house like this?”
née Qin looked around, and her face immediately turned ugly, ”Look at their house, any one of their furnishings could match your entire house. Is this your daughter?”
