Xiang Wei knocked on the door, then walked in and blew out the candle on the table, leaving only a kerosene lamp, which would automatically extinguish when the wick burned out.

After Yue Yao waited for Xiang Wei to go out, she said slowly: "Mingzhu, you are in the right place with Ning Lixuan, with your family background, even if Ning Lixuan doesn't like you, you don't have to be afraid that you won't be able to stand in the Ning family." But, Mingzhu, haven't you thought that kind of life is interesting? ”

Mingzhu asked puzzled, "What! What kind of life is not interesting? Mingzhu didn't understand what Yueyao meant.

During this period of time, the two got along, Yueyao regarded Mingzhu as her best friend, so she didn't have too many scruples when she spoke, "You insist on choosing Ning Lixuan, but he doesn't like you, after you marry him, he still ignores you like now, will you be sad?" ”

Mingzhu didn't think about it and said, "Yes." "That must have been sad.

Seeing that Mingzhu listened, Yue Yao continued: "You gave birth to children for him, worked hard to manage the housework, served your in-laws, and faced a bunch of concubines and concubines when you were done, do you think this kind of day is what you want?" "Pearl lived this life in her last life.

Mingzhu said blankly: "But isn't everyone living like this? "Her mother is like this, and so is her sister-in-law. As long as the position of the main wife is not shaken, there is enough decency.

Yue Yao sighed slightly, Mrs. Jingning Hou and Mrs. Shizi were indeed like this, but the premise was that they did not put all their minds into their husbands, "Well, everyone lives like this." Then you watch him accept concubines one after another, and even pet concubines to do against you, but he stands on the side of the concubine, what should you do? ”

Mingzhu was stunned, she had never thought about this problem. After a while, Mingzhu forced a smile and said, "No, Brother Xuan won't." ”

Yue Yao said with a smile: "The Ning family's family style is not right, and it is not a new thing to spoil concubines and kill wives. You have a prominent family background, Ning Lixuan doesn't dare to kill his wife, but he can snub you and spoil the concubine. "When the main room is not afraid of concubines and concubines, he is afraid of meeting a husband who spoils his concubine and destroys his wife. Ning Lixuan is obviously the latter kind of person.

Mingzhu's face turned pale, "No." ”

Yue Yao ignored Mingzhu's expression, and said directly: "Are you sure you want to take this risk?" Are you sure you're going to gamble for the rest of your life? ”

Mingzhu said in a whisper: "Isn't this how everyone came? It's a lifetime that only exists in dramas. Although Mingzhu fell in love with Ning Lixuan, she never thought that Ning Lixuan would be a woman for the rest of her life, which was also a matter of education.

Yue Yao thought for a while and said: "Why don't parents who feel sorry for their daughter marry their daughter to someone with an unhealthy family style, it's because they are worried that their daughter will suffer if they spoil their concubine and destroy Qi." The Ning family's family style is not good, and I think Ning Lixuan is also a romantic seed. ”

Mingzhu bit her lip and didn't speak.

Yueyao was a little distressed, but she knew that if she wanted to make Mingzhu have a better life in the second half of her life, she must not find someone like Ning Lixuan. Ning Lixuan seems to be easy-going and easy to get along with, but in fact, he can't be more selfish, "There are also special cases, you see my eldest cousin and eldest cousin-in-law, the two of them are kind and loving." Pearl, easy to get priceless treasure, rare to have a lover. Mingzhu, Ning Lixuan is not a good match, you are so good, you deserve better. ”

Mingzhu's mind was confused, "You let me think about it." ”

Yueyao saw Mingzhu hesitate, and hesitation meant that she had been shaken, which was a good thing. Yue Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, such a long time of chattering finally had an effect, as long as Mingzhu was not a heart to marry Ning Lixuan, then the prince would definitely choose a good one for Mingzhu, and Mingzhu would not repeat the fate of the previous life.

What Yue Yao didn't know was that Mingzhu was so desperate for Ning Lixuan in her previous life, in addition to Ning Lixuan's blue eyes in the external conditions, the people around her also had a huge impact. The people around him said that Ning Lixuan was a good match, and she was a match made in heaven, and even deliberately said something to misinterpret him to make Mingzhu think that Ning Lixuan was also interested in her. Now it's different, first Yue Yao denied it, then Bai Yi and Xiang Wei denied it, and everyone said that Ning Lixuan was not good. As the saying goes, everyone is gold, and gold is ruined. The pearl should be thought of as a certainty.

Mingzhu thought for a long time, and finally said: "Let me think about it, think about it again......" Mingzhu couldn't say how to give up this word.

Yue Yao also knew that it would backfire if she was too anxious, and said with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry, you are still young, and there is time." ”

Mingzhu was dumbfounded, "Yueyao, why do you think I'm small?" I will be 14 years old after the Chinese New Year, and I have reached the age of marriage. "Generally, thirteen or fourteen-year-olds are married. Her sister-in-law is now looking for a candidate for her, and because of this, she is extremely entangled. She thinks that Brother Xuan is very good, but everyone can't say it well, Mingzhu is very entangled, she is reluctant to give up, and she is afraid that she will have a hard time in the future if she doesn't give up.

Yue Yao smiled.

Mingzhu was a little envious of Yueyao, who had already made a marriage, "Yueyao, then Shen Conghao is also good." The last time I met him on the mountain, I saw that he wanted to talk to you, but unfortunately you ignored them, and the next time you see them, you can talk to people more. ”

Yueyao shook her head and said, "I don't want to see him." Yue Yao didn't have any opinion on Shen Conghao, but the shadow of his previous life was too big, and he didn't want to have anything to do with the Shen family.

Mingzhu was very surprised, "Why?" Are you not satisfied with Shen Conghao, he is your fiancé? Mingzhu thinks Shen Conghao is good.

Yue Yao smiled: "I'm different from you, I don't have my parents and brother to rely on, I can only rely on my uncle." "Uncle is very good to her, but things in the backyard have a convulsion from time to time, which makes her a little overwhelmed.

Mingzhu didn't understand what Yue Yao meant, and asked strangely, "Don't you still have a family?" "In this era, the clan is still very large, and for the world, the Lian family is much more reliable than the Ma family.

The wind was blowing outside, the glass outside the windows was clattering, and the oil lamps lit in the room were flickering and dimming.

Yue Yao sighed slightly, "Do you know how my reputation as a calamity star came from? In Mingzhu's doubts, Yue Yao smiled, but this smile was extremely bitter, "It was spread by my eldest aunt, and my eldest uncle knew but pretended not to know." ”

Mingzhu's face was solemn and asked, "Why, why did they treat you like this?" "There must be a reason, and it is impossible to do such a thing for no reason.

Yue Yao frowned and said, "I have 30,000 taels of silver on me, as well as my mother's dowry." My aunt wanted to keep it for herself, so she used the rumors to kill me. ”

Mingzhu jumped up and scolded: "It's so hateful, I want to force you to death for a few taels of silver, there are still such aunts in the world." ”

Yue Yao laughed, why did everyone say that he was dustless under his eyes and regarded money as dung? This is the one who really sees money as dung, right? Tens of thousands of taels of silver are just a few taels in Mingzhu's mouth.

Mingzhu realized that she was overly excited, calmed down and asked, "What are your plans for the future?" Since your aunt has this heart, she won't let you go. ”

Yue Yao said with a smile: "Last year, the Mo family failed to do business and lost a lot of money, and hit me again, and poisoned me in order to steal my money, but I found out. Because of this incident, my uncle took me to live in Mafu. If you don't get married, you won't go back to Lian Home! Yueyao wasn't sure that she would always live in the Ma family, because no one could say what would happen in the future, but she was very sure of one thing, she would definitely not go back after leaving Lian's house.

Mingzhu said incredulously: "How can you be so vicious? She thought that spreading rumors was already very vicious, but she didn't expect to be so vicious for money.

Yueyao looked up at the roof, thinking about the things of her previous life, and she didn't know why, she was so sad that she wanted to cry. But the tears dried up in the previous life, and now I can't cry.

Yue Yao said: "I don't understand why he is so vicious? My parents are gone, and I regard them as my closest relatives, but they are for money and future, so I am worse than dead. It's okay to be betrayed by outsiders, but he was stabbed by the closest people around him. It hurts, it really hurts, it hurts so much that I can't breathe. ”

Mingzhu looked at Yue Yao who was in grief, thinking about Yue Yao's words, she cried sadly, hugged Yue Yao while crying and said, "Yue Yao, don't be sad, if they dare to harm you, I will definitely help you clean them up." Mingzhu didn't expect that there were such vicious and ruthless people in the world.

Yue Yao was brought back to her senses by Mingzhu's cry, but smiled: "Don't cry." It's over, and I'm fine for a long time. ”

Mingzhu wiped her tears and asked carefully, "That's it?" We let everyone in the capital know the viciousness of that man. If he can't go out in the future, he will let people point to her when he goes out. You say it's good. ”

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "I can't tear my face with them for the time being, if I say it, I can't have the peaceful days I have now." Mingzhu, I understand your kindness, but don't meddle in this matter, let alone tell others, you know? Otherwise, I will break off your friendship. ”

Mingzhu was forced by Yueyao to promise not to tell anyone about it. However, this matter was remembered in Mingzhu's heart, and later gave Yue Bing several faceless times at the banquet. Of course, that's an afterthought.

Yue Yao held Mingzhu's hand and said, "I told you this to hope that you would cherish your blessings." You don't know how many people envy you, your family is illustrious and loved by your parents, and you are pampered and protected by a capable brother, and you can grow up carefree and unrestrained, which is a great blessing. ”

Mingzhu muttered, "I didn't spare any blessings. ”

Yue Yao didn't tell Mingzhu in her previous life that these blessings were gone after she got married, so Yueyao would do her best to prevent Mingzhu from marrying Ning Lixuan.

Yueyao hopes that Mingzhu will always be like this, laughing when she is happy, crying when she is sad, and scolding when she is annoyed, so that Mingzhu can always live so purely.

Mingzhu took Yueyao's hand before going to bed and said, "Yueyao, you must tell me if you have something in the future, even if I can't help, I went to ask my father and brother to help you." Yueyao, you have to remember that you are not alone, you still have me! ”

Yue Yao knew that Mingzhu was sincere, and her heart was warm, and she said, "Don't worry, I will tell you something." "If you have something, you can solve it yourself, and you can only ask for help if you have no choice.
