211, self-willed
After the Spring Festival, Xu Jie's marriage was soon settled. Considering that Xu Jie and Mr. Han were not young, the wedding date was set in the second half of the year. Xu Jie got what she wanted and embroidered her dowry in the house with satisfaction, almost never leaving the house.
Li became more attentive to the Qi family, and he had to send people to deliver some things every now and then. Under the pressure of the Empress Dowager, the Qi family had to respond to the enthusiasm of the Xu family, so Li felt that the Qi family was determined to win.
But Xu Ping became more anxious. Xu Jie, who was younger than her, had a kiss. Before she could settle down, she could no longer hide the anxiety on her face in front of Aunt Su. Aunt Su thought that the mood was almost the same, so she wrote a letter to Xu Yan.
After receiving the letter, Xu Yan returned to the Xu family and plunged into Yi's arms and cried bitterly, "Mother, my daughter is unfilial, the Liang family has no place to live for her daughter. Please take her daughter back!"
Yi Shi was frightened and hugged Xu Yan and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Yan cried and said, "Does my mother still remember the pregnant girl in my room?"
Yi nodded, "Remember, naturally remember!"
"My mother told me that she would carry the child to raise him when she was born. I didn't want to raise someone else's child, but my stomach was not good enough. I couldn't help but I went to tell Aunt Chen that she wanted to raise the girl's belly child. Aunt Chen nodded, but the lady suddenly intervened and brought the girl to her yard to raise her baby. It was obvious that she wanted to raise the child. I didn't care, but the girl was uneasy. Seeing that the sky gave me eye drops in front of the wife, she also did evil in the house and couldn't get along with me. The lady spoiled the slut and scolded me for not laying eggs in front of the servants... Liang family, my daughter really couldn't stay there!"
"This... the Liang family is too much!" When Yi heard that Mrs. Liang was so vulgar, she couldn't help but become angry. "Although the Liang family was born in the market, since they have been granted a marquis, they should have the appearance of a marquis' mansion. Why are they as rough as fighting people in the market?"
"The servants in the mansion all saw my jokes, and I don't want to go back to the Liang family!" Xu Yan sobbed and drank a sip of tea to moisten her throat, but was choked by the tea. She coughed violently, and her eyes became even redder.
Yi felt even more distressed after seeing it, "You stay at home for a few days first. I will go to the Liang family and say, "They were the ones who took the initiative to propose marriage, but now she is the one who swears our Xu family. I want to ask what's the reason?"
Xu Yan was stunned. She didn't expect Yi to think so. She thought Yi would persuade her to be patient and be more important. How should I say this... what should I say next?
Yi Shi only thought Xu Yan was afraid that she would be difficult to do, so she comforted her, "Don't worry, I know I can't speak. Then I will ask your aunt to accompany me, and I will never let the Liang family ride on our heads!"
Xu Yan squeezed out tears and said sadly, "It's all my fault for being incompetent. If I could have children, there would be no more trouble!"
"You are still young, and there will always be children!" Yi's words were not entirely comforting. Li was nearly forty years old and could give birth to Xu Hua. Xu Yan was only in her early twenties. Who would be sure that she could not give birth?
Xu Yan shook her head, "My daughter has asked her to calculate, I have no children in my life... Besides, I know my own body as well... These daughters dare not let the Liang family know. If the Liang family knows, they must leave their daughter!"
The queen is a seven-part order. As the Liang family is not allowed to act, they know that Xu Yan cannot give up, and Yi is stunned. What should we do?
"Mother, my daughter is willing to accompany her second sister!" Xu Ping suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in.
"Why are you here?" Yi looked at the empty door, "Where have you been?"
Xu Ping knelt down in front of Yi and said, "It was the daughter who sent them all away!"
Yi looked unhappy, "You go down, how can you interrupt me when I talk to your second sister!"
Xu Zu didn't move at all, "My mother heard what her daughter just said, right?"
"Go down!" Yi shouted, obviously angry.
Xu Ping stubbornly refused to leave, "My daughter said she was willing to join the Liang family to help her second sister!"
Before Yi was angry, Xu Yan had already rushed over and hugged Xu Zu and said gratefully, "Fifth sister, what are you saying? Do you know what you are saying? How can the second sister bear to see you be a concubine for someone?"
"Second sister, you have been nice to me since you were a child, but you have never had the chance to repay you. Anyway, I want to get married. If I can help you, second sister, marrying me is not important to me, and being a wife or a concubine is not important!" Xu Zun confessed himself with deep feelings, but did not see Xu Yan's smile on his face that was lowered to his ears.
Yi was so angry that he shivered by Xu Xiu's words. He pointed at Xu Xiu's fingers, but couldn't say anything. After a long time, he put down his fingers and said heartbrokenly, "Sister! You... why did you suddenly have such a thought? Do you think it's a good thing to be a concubine?"
Xu Su bit his lip and said nothing. Xu Yan also advised softly, "Yes, fifth sister, you have to think clearly that if you become a concubine in your life, you will only be a concubine, and you will never look back! Even if I will take care of you, how old are I older than you? If I walk ahead of you, the evening is miserable, who will take care of you?"
That happened many years later. Xu Ping couldn't think so far. She only heard Xu Yan's words that would take care of her. This was enough, so she decided to stop the railway, "My daughter only wants to help her second sister and ask her mother to help her!"
Xu Yan covered her face and cried with emotion.
Yi sighed in anger, "If I had known that you were so unsuccessful, why would I have planned a lot for you? Your father's position is not high, and you are a concubine. The better people look down on you, and I almost looked down on you. I originally hoped that your elder brother would pass the Jinshi exam and choose a young man from his classmates who is more ambitious. But you are willing to be a concubine!"
Yi had never said such heavy words. Xu Zu couldn't help but blushed in shame and anger, but he still insisted on his own opinion. He married a poor student and didn't know how many years it would take to live a good life. However, the Liang family was ready to be prosperous and wealthy. Compared with the two, Xu Zu was more inclined to the Liang family.
Xu Yan came out to smooth things over and coaxed Xu Zu away, "Fifth sister, go back first!" He advised Yi again, "Fifth sister also feels sorry for her daughter, and she has no intention, so mother calms down!"
Yi shook his head and sighed, "How did she come up with this idea?"
Xu Yan said, "No matter how it was born, just ask her to give up. My daughter has a plan to ask her to give up this idea!"
