238: Yuzhuti's family affair
The grandmother who was waiting by Mrs. Xiao's side naturally didn't expect that Mrs. Xiao would actually want to see the third lady Xiao Ziwen at this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Over the years, Xiao Ziwen has only come to see Mrs. Xiao a handful of times.
It is obvious that Mrs. Xiao doesn't like this granddaughter.
Since Xiao Yusheng, the eldest young master of the Xiao family, died violently after marriage, Xiao Ziwen seemed to be a different person, and she no longer wanted to speak.
She seemed to have aphasia, unable to speak half a word.
Especially Xiao Ziwen's occasional look, which is as cold as snow in winter.
That wasn't supposed to be the look of a child.
"The old slave will go immediately. The old lady took the order, turned around and walked out.
"Wait. Old Madam Xiao called the old lady again, and her voice was a little low, "Let me think again." ā
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then never spoke again.
Old Lady Xiao raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows a little tiredly, but her mind was not as clear as Fang Cai.
The house was very quiet, occasionally the sound of cicadas chirping from the window, she had been living in this room with little light for a long time. Since the death of Old Lady Xiao, she has felt timid and scared of the word death for the first time...... She seemed to understand why so many emperors were afraid of the eternal darkness when they closed their eyes.
It's actually quite interesting to be alive.
If you die, you really have nothing left.
This night was very long, and Mrs. Xiao didn't sleep well, and so did Xiao Ziyu.
Until Xiao Yuxuan came to look for her, she was still sitting in the house, holding a camellia that she found out of nowhere, looking stunned.
Xiao Yuxuan saw this scene when he entered the house, and he paused before saying to Xiao Ziyu, "Yanyan." ā
Xiao Ziyu's originally blank gaze gradually became clear, "Second cousin, why are you here?"
"I'll come and see you. Xiao Yuxuan walked up to Xiao Ziyu and looked at her tired face, "You didn't sleep well last night?"
The girl in front of her looked decadent, and her expression was also a little trance, as if she was preoccupied.
On the contrary, the pot of white camellia placed next to her is very beautiful.
Even if Xiao Yuxuan was slow to react, he also knew about the Bai family's door-to-door proposal, although he was a little surprised after hearing it at the time, he thought about it for a long time, and he felt that it was reasonable. In fact, Han Xinfang had mentioned the matter of the Bai family's master to him before, and at that time he was a little curious why Han Xinfang, who had never liked to mention others, would suddenly talk about Bai Congjian.
In the days after he entered Beijing, several officials who came into contact with him took a lot of care of him.
These officials are said to be very close to the head of the Bai family.
"Yanyan, there's something I think I have to tell you. Xiao Yuxuan was stunned before continuing, "Do you want to hear it?"
Xiao Ziyu looked at Xiao Yuxuan with a puzzled expression, "What's the matter?"
Although she tried her best to maintain her appearance in front of Xiao Yuxuan, she still looked listless.
"Actually, Yuzhu and I both have dealings with the Bai family's master. Xiao Yuxuan replied very honestly, "When I first came to the capital, I wanted to dredge some business channels for the Qiao family, so I inadvertently came into contact with the Bai family's master. At that time, I was surprised that I could actually have a relationship with Bai Xiaoye. When I returned home, I told Yuzhu about it...... Yuzhu also told me afterwards that he and Bai Xiaoye knew each other. ā
I know, but I don't know it.
How did Xiao Yuzhu know the Bai family's master, Xiao Yuxuan naturally didn't know, and Xiao Yuzhu himself didn't want to mention it.
Xiao Yuzhu just said, "He is a person who is both admired and feared." ā
The so-called unfathomable is probably to describe people like Bai Congjian.
However, even though they knew that Bai Congjian was a powerful character, they did not avoid it.
Because, Xiao Yuzhu and Xiao Yuxuan both vaguely felt that the reason why they had dealings with the Bai family must have been instructed by the Bai family's master. Moreover, the master of the Bai family was not half hostile to them, as if he really wanted to help them.
Especially when the Han family suddenly intervened in the affairs of the Xiao family's third room......
"It was also during this period that I learned that it was not an accident that Mrs. Han went to Gusu back then. Xiao Yuxuan said lightly, "It was Master Bai who instructed Old Master Han to go to Gusu to help him with his errands, and one of them was to entrust him to take care of his mother and me." ā
Bai Congjian is not a good person, and he does not have compassion for everyone.
His purpose in doing so is obvious.
The Gu family likes to go to Gusu to live, and only the Qiao family will not get tired of the existence of the Gu family and Xiao Ziyu, let alone poison them. If Qiao's foothold in the third room of the Xiao family is unstable, then it will be difficult for the Gu family to rest quietly in Gusu for a while in the future.
Back then, the appearance of Old Lady Han really helped Qiao's a lot.
Xiao Ziyu is not stupid, she quickly understood the reason for this.
"That'...... You and Sister Han ......" Xiao Ziyu asked in a low voice, but in the end, he was completely silent.
Xiao Ziyu knew that Han Xinfang had Xiao Yuxuan in his heart.
It's just that Old Lady Han is afraid that he will not agree to this family business.
After all, Old Lady Han just wanted to help the Qiao family, but he didn't really want to marry his daughter to Xiao Yuxuan.
Xiao Yuxuan's handsome face showed a little helplessness, "I will be fine with her." ā
What Xiao Ziyu was worried about, he naturally knew.
Even if he knew that at the beginning, Han Xinfang was willing to marry him, just to stabilize his mother's position in the third room of the Xiao family. But later, after slowly contacting him, he learned that Han Xinfang was indeed a rare woman...... Perhaps accustomed to the indifference and neglect of the people around him, Han Xinfang's appearance was probably the motivation for him to survive those years.
Xiao Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "That's good." ā
Subconsciously, she raised her hand again and rubbed her eyebrows, "Second cousin, you told me this today, do you also know...... Me and ...... What about me and Bai Congjian?"
In the past, she would always call Bai Congjian a little master or a son.
Today, she suddenly called her by her name, which made Xiao Yuxuan a little distracted.
"Hmm. Xiao Yuxuan nodded and said patiently, "Yanyan, there are many things that I can't tell you. I don't tell you, not because I don't believe you, but because the less you know, the better it is for you. It's dangerous, but Yuzhu and I and even a lot of people need to do it. Do you see what I mean?"
Xiao Ziyu was dazed, "I don't understand." ā
What dangerous thing did her brother do behind her back?
Even though she remembered a lot of memories of her past life, she never had the slightest news about it.
"Your family business......" Xiao Yuxuan didn't dare to look at Xiao Ziyu's puzzled eyes, "Actually, it was Yuzhu and Bai Xiaoye who mentioned it." (To be continued.) )
