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?"
"Grandmother." Xie Jingxi pulled the Qin family over, pressing her down on the chair. "Ming Yu, quickly go and brew the flower tea that I prepared last year for Old Madem. Remember, the water shouldn't be too hot …"
Grandmother, it was so easy for you to come here, we were all very happy, you have already talked about it, can't you calm down? I'm good at eating and wearing, what's wrong with that, the room is what I want it to be, I don't like it either. It's not like you don't know, I'm fine, if Mother doesn't allow me to be like this, I won't feel good.
"Only you can speak." née Qin rolled her eyes. After all, she doted on this granddaughter the most.
"Grandmother, how did you get here? What boat are you on? It's hard to walk on the water, how are you doing? "
Ming Yu went up and brewed a cup of tea for her, then gave it to her in a tepid voice, "I heard that you did not do it wrong, and you have always taken care of yourself well, this is a good thing to nourish Yin and moisten the lungs, I especially left it for you."
"I came along with Huanzhi's boat, and coincidentally, he wanted to go into the capital to do business. I came along, and did not suffer much. Don't you know about Huanzhi, he is the most meticulous one."
"Shen Huanzhi is here too?" Xie Jingxi was a little surprised. Shen Huanzhi had been her playmate since he was young, treating her like a brother all along. He had always been especially good to him, so it was naturally good for the Qin family to follow him.
"You're already so big yet you're not willing to call me brother. Since young, I've been bullied by you."
"When did I bully him? He's already older than me by half a year, and has never been taller than me since I was young. It's all thanks to you, big brother. Ai, didn't he want to study to become an official? Why is he starting a business now?"
Alas, this matter is a long story. Not long after you entered the capital, he intended to study in seclusion, and wanted to use his own abilities to go to the capital to find you. Who knew that Old Master Shen would fall into an emergency, and the boss would not be able to lift it, so the burden of the family could only fall on him. As Old Master Shen was on the verge of death, he forced him to swear that he would support this family.
Xie Jingxi could not help but sigh in her heart, life was something that one could not predict the most. If you want it, the heavens will not give it to you.
"Where is he staying at? Why didn't we invite him over? We should thank him properly for taking care of you during our Xie Family."
"How could someone as strong as him be willing to follow me? He seems to be staying at the Ten-Thousand Moons Inn. If you have time, go take a look at him and bring him something." Mrs Qin patted Xie Jingxi's hands, "Speaking of which, he's a rare good child. If you don't enter the capital, I intend to tell her about you.
"Grandmother, what are you talking about? I've treated him as an older brother since I was young."
The old lady's words still echoed in Xie Jingxi's heart. If it was said that she had never considered Shen Huanzhi as a person before, then she had indeed treated him as a big brother. However, the times had changed, and what she was hoping for now was peace and stability.
But, was she really going to pull him into the water? Xie Jingxi wasn't sure, and it was precisely because she knew that Shen Huanzhi was interested in her that she didn't want to harm him, and that she would suffer from his love for her entire life. If she couldn't give him an equal response, then it would be too unfair.
Of course, Grandmother won't force you. As for this matter, you make the decision yourself, if you have nothing better to do, then meet him more. Perhaps now, it won't be like when you were young.
Xie Jingxi did not refute anymore, and considered it to be tacit agreement. She changed the topic and said: "Grandmother, I also made some snake gall wine for you, it's cold in the autumn to the north, it's definitely not comparable to the south. You have to take care of your body when you're here, if you get sick, it's not a joke."
"Speaking of which, there's one more thing on the way." The Qin family took out the medicine that Zhao Zhang had given her, and told Xie Jingxi everything that had happened along the way, "That person is a warm-hearted person, I think her identity must be special, she must be at least at the second or third stage, so I forgot to ask about the mansion's name, so we can come over later to express our gratitude.
Xie Jingxi curiously took the medicine, "There's actually such a thing, it must be because of the Bodhisattva's blessing, wherever you go, you will meet your benefactor."
"Perhaps he really is a noble. I can't see anything with this medicine, but it seems like it's not an ordinary pill. I originally did not plan to eat it, but the journey was a bit uncomfortable, so I tried using one, and it actually worked."
Xie Jingxi carefully looked at the medicine, took one out to smell it, and her eyes lit up, this was not just extraordinary, this was truly a saint rank!
