299 Retirement (I)
Yueyao walked in the yard, and the leaves on the trees fell from time to time. Yueyao took a withered yellow leaf, autumn to winter is a natural law of hunger, it is inevitable.
In the distance, a hurried footstep came towards Yueyao. After giving Yue Yao a blessing, Caihua said, "Girl, Madame, please come over immediately." β
Yue Yao smiled, it is estimated that the Su family and the Shen family have made a decision. Yueyao threw the leaves in her hand into the pond, and the withered yellow leaves fell on the water.
Zhuang Ruolan looked at Yue Yao, who was flat, and sighed slightly, what she was most worried about finally happened: "Yue Yao, the Shen family has already negotiated with the Su family, and when the time comes, you and Miss Su will marry each other, regardless of size, whoever has a son will be the greatest." β
Xiang Wei's eyes flashed with ridicule, fortunately, the girl never thought of marrying into the Shen family, and she was crushed before she passed the door.
Yue Yao asked, "Has the Shen family discussed this matter with your uncle?" "If the Shen family decides on their own, then let my uncle come forward.
Zhuang Ruolan looked at Yueyao's expressionless face, and felt very uncomfortable, "Just now, the people from the Shen family came over to tell my father-in-law about it, but the grandfather refused." β
Yue Yao took half a cup of boiled water from the teacup next to her and drank half a cup, and didn't speak for a long time after putting down the teacup, Yue Yao originally thought that the Shen family would marry Su Yuzhen as a flat wife, but she didn't expect that the Shen family wanted to be big at both ends, and who was the eldest son of the gentleman. The Shen family has a good calculation, but he is not interested in accompanying the Shen family to play this game with the Su family.
Zhuang Ruolan sighed slightly and said, "Yue Yao, the Su family and the Shen family are in power, and the master can't compete with them. "Zhuang Ruolan means, Yueyao's grievance must be suffered.
Yue Yao said lightly: "Cousin-in-law, I said before that since the Shen family wants to cling to the Su family, let them cling to it." I'm not unfamiliar with their Shen family. β
Zhuang Ruolan asked: "Yueyao, the second son of the Shen family is really a rare husband, do you really want to quit your family?" In fact, at this point, Zhuang Ruolan has no objection to Yue Shao's retreat. Yueyao has no parents and brothers as backers, and she will definitely be wronged after marrying, but Zhuang Ruolan feels very sorry, if Yueyao withdraws, it will be difficult to find such a good fiancΓ©.
A faint smile appeared on Yue Yao's face, "Cousin-in-law, I admit that the second son of the Shen family is a good person, but so what? The Mu family has always disliked me, and with Su Yuzhen, who has a prime minister's mansion as a backer, I have only a dead end when I get married. Cousin-in-law, no matter how good Shen Conghao is, his life is not as important as my life. β
Zhuang Ruolan smiled bitterly, Yueyao is too transparent, it's not a good thing for a woman to be too smart. Zhuang Ruolan stopped persuading at the moment, because he also agreed with Yueyao's words just now, "If you want to withdraw from your family, you have to ask the master to agree, and you have to tell the master in person about this matter." Although the father-in-law is very angry, the father-in-law is probably not willing to let Yueyao quit her family, after all, Yueyao is now fifteen, and she will be sixteen in the new year, and it is not easy to find a good family.
Yue Yao nodded, and when Yue Yao went to find Ma Chengteng, she heard that Ma Chengteng had gone to Lian's house. The pen and ink maid in the study whispered to Yue Yao: "Girl, just now the master angrily reprimanded the uncle of the Shen family, but the uncle of the Shen family said that the Lian family had agreed, and now the master went to the Lian family to find the theory of the old lady of the Lian family." β
When Ma Chengteng arrived at Lian's house, he didn't see Lian Dongfang, only Lian Tingli came out to see him. Ma Chengteng naturally didn't want to scold a junior, but said: "Tell Lian Dongfang that I won't agree to this matter, and it's useless for him to agree." After Ma Chengteng finished speaking, he went back angrily.
After Lian Tingli waited for Ma Chengteng to leave, he went to find Lian Dongfang, "Daddy......" Actually, Tingli felt that they shouldn't agree to this matter.
Lian Dongfang said: "I have a sense of proportion in this matter, you don't need to say much." "The matter has come to this point, it is useless for them to object, their arms can't twist their thighs, and Ma Chengteng has the ability to go to the Shen family to reason with the Su family and find out what he should do.
Ma Chengteng returned to Ma's Mansion with an angry face, and saw Yueyao before he entered the study. Ma Chengteng saw the Yin Yueyao, and he didn't know why he was suddenly sad, he thought he could protect Yueyao, but unfortunately he now knew that he couldn't protect it at all.
Yue Yao smiled: "Uncle, I made it difficult for you. β
Ma Chengteng immediately walked to Yue Yao's side, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Yue Yao, don't worry, I will definitely not let them get their wish." β
Yue Yao shook her head and said, "Uncle, I came to look for you, not to let my uncle give me a head." "Ma Cheng freed his head, and when the time comes, he will definitely be hated by the Su family and the Shen family.
Ma Chengteng grabbed Yueyao's arm, "Don't worry, uncle is not afraid of them." β
Yue Yao shook her head with a smile and said, "Uncle, there is one thing I have never dared to tell you, in fact, I have long wanted to withdraw from the Shen family's family affairs, but because there is not enough reason, I dare not tell you." β
Ma Chengteng's pupils shrank, "Why did you want to withdraw from your relatives for a long time?" β
A sneer slipped through the corner of Yue Yao's mouth, "Uncle, from the first time I saw Mrs. Shen's disgusted eyes, I knew that the Shen family didn't want me as a daughter-in-law. Uncle, think about it, how has the Shen family paid attention to me over the years? I am fifteen years old this year, and I will be married in a month, but the Shen family has not mentioned my marriage to Shen Conghao. Uncle, the Shen family had already had the idea of quitting after my father and mother passed away, because I couldn't bring any help to Shen Conghao. Uncle, the Shen family has not withdrawn from the family until now because my father has saved Shen Qian's life, and the Shen family does not dare to bear the reputation of ingratitude, so it has been delayed until now. The Shen family's abacus played very well, making me as big as Su Yuzhen, they didn't have to bear the name of ingratitude, and they got the help of the Prime Minister's house, the Shen family's abacus was really fine. β
Ma Chengteng's face became more and more ugly, but Ma Chengteng still said truthfully: "Yueyao, this incident is a misunderstanding. Although Ma Chengteng was angry, he also knew very well that he couldn't stop it, and the only thing he could do was to win Yueyao as the main wife.
Yue Yao nodded: "Uncle, there is no coincidence." Uncle, don't say that the Shen family has been indifferent to me over the years. Just this matter, uncle, wasn't there a maid-in-law next to Miss Su when she fell into the water? The subordinates of the Shen Mansion are all dead, why do they have to ask Shen Conghao to save them? And the most important point, Shen Conghao is going to participate in the Spring Festival next year, even if it is a college holiday, he should be in the front yard to study books, why did he run to the place where the girls in the backyard gathered? Uncle, there are too many coincidences in this! β
Ma Chengteng's face turned pale, "Yueyao, you mean premeditated?" β
Yue Yao shook her head and said: "When I first learned the news, I felt that this matter was not simple, I didn't believe that there were so many coincidences in this world, so I asked Xiang Wei to investigate this matter." β
Ma Chengteng didn't expect Yue Yao to check this matter by herself, "When did you know?" "He also only found out in the past two days, how do you feel that Yueyao seems to have known about it a long time ago.
Yueyao said frankly: "I knew about it more than half a month ago. β
Ma Chengteng looked at Yue Yao and asked after a long time, "What did Xiang Wei find?" Ma Chengteng knew that Xiang Wei was given by the Marquis of Jingning, and he also knew that Xiang Wei had kung fu, so he didn't have too many doubts.
Yue Yao chuckled: "Shen Conghao and Su Yuzhen are in love with each other, and their love is determined for life, that day it was nominally Shen Pinlan who invited Su Yuzhen, but in fact, Shen Pinlan provided the two of them with a chance to date, which also explains why Su Yuzhen fell into the water, and Shen Conghao would go to the rescue as soon as possible."
Ma Chengteng's eyes spewed fire, "What you said is true?" β
Yue Yao nodded, "If your uncle doesn't believe it, you can ask Xiang Wei, and if your uncle doesn't believe Xiang Wei's investigation, you can also check it yourself." β
Ma Chengteng was so angry that his hands were trembling, "Yueyao, if this matter is true, what are you going to do?" "Ma Chengteng really loves Yueyao, if what Yueyao said is true, he will definitely quit this family business. He originally felt that Shen Conghao was impeccable in terms of character and talent. But now that I look at it, I still know people and don't know their faces.
Yue Yao nodded and said: "Uncle, I want to withdraw from my family, Su Yuzhen is not only the eldest granddaughter of Xiangye, but also has a good relationship with Shen Conghao, and the Shen family has no place for me." β
Ma Chengteng was silent, he had this idea, but it was also a little difficult to implement. This matter has to be considered in the long run.
Yue Yao knelt on the ground with a resolute attitude, "Uncle, if you say a word of disobedience and unfilial piety, even if your uncle doesn't agree to me, I will withdraw from this marriage." Uncle, if the Shen family had a heart, they should have sent someone to discuss the day of marriage, but the Shen family has not moved at all so far, and when something like this happens, the Shen family only sent the uncle of the Shen family to inform his uncle. The Shen family and Ben didn't take me, an orphan girl, into their eyes. Uncle, the Mu family thinks that I am a broom star, and they are very disgusted with me, and there is another Su Yuzhen, uncle, I have only a dead end if I marry into the Shen family. Uncle, I don't want to die, I still want to become a world-famous painter like Mr. Yushan.
Ma Chengteng sighed slightly, if what Yue Yao said was true, this family business must be withdrawn, and the reputation of quitting relatives is not good, but it is better than marrying and suffering.
Seeing Ma Chengteng's expression soothing, Yue Yao said, "Uncle, I also told my cousin-in-law what I meant just now. My cousin-in-law said that if I quit my family, it would be in jeopardy to my reputation. Uncle, I know my cousin's worries, but no matter how important my reputation is, my life is more important, not to mention that I am only fifteen now, and I will always find a suitable one when I look for it. Yue Yao knew very well that she couldn't mention to Ma Chengteng that she didn't want to marry at this time, if Ma Chengteng knew that he didn't want to marry, it was estimated that this marriage contract would become more and more difficult to get back.
Ma Chengteng didn't immediately agree to Yue Yao, he had to find out about this matter first, as long as he was sure that what Yue Yao said about Su Yuzhen and Shen Conghao's love affair was true, this family affair would definitely have to be retreated, but this matter was very important, and he had to think about it thoroughly.
Yue Yao saw that Ma Chengteng hadn't let go until now, she was a little disappointed, she said so much, and her uncle didn't waver.
Yue Yao returned to Begonia Garden and saw Ma Peng waiting for her in Begonia Garden.
Ma Peng came to look for Yueyao also for the Shen family's business. In fact, according to Ma Peng's meaning, at this juncture, this family business must be retreated. The Shen family is clearly deceiving the door, and if they retreat at this time, Yue Yao will not have a good life if she really marries into the Shen family.
Ma Peng nodded when he heard that Yue Yao also had the idea of quitting his family. The Shen family dared to bully Yue Yao like this now, and it was okay to leave his relatives early, but he had a worry, "Yue Yao, once we open this mouth, you will have no room for regret." Ma Peng was worried that Yueyao would regret not finding a good marriage in the future.
Yue Yao's attitude was very firm, "Cousin, I won't regret it, even if I can't get married in my life, I won't regret it." β
Ma Peng saw Yueyao's attitude, and he also had a bottom in his heart, "Okay, as long as you don't regret it, I will convince my father." But in the future, you must not say anything about not marrying for the rest of your life. You're only fifteen years old now, and there's still a long way to go! β
Yue Yao gave Ma Peng a big gift, "Cousin, thank you." β
Ma Peng helped Yueyao up and said, "Don't worry, I will never let people bully you." "If the Shen family does this, won't they bully Yueyao and have no support? He had to let the Shen family know that Yueyao was not something they could bully if they wanted to.
Before Ma Chengteng sent someone to find out what Yueyao said, he saw Ma Peng coming to find him. Ma Chengteng sighed and said: "The Shen family deceives people too much, and I also want to withdraw from my family, but ...... "It's easy to quit, but there are still many things to do in the future."
Ma Peng didn't say much, and said directly: "Dad, do you think, if my uncle and aunt are here, and the Shen family makes such a request, what will my uncle and aunt do?" β
Ma Chengteng didn't say anything, he didn't have to think about it to know that if his sister and brother-in-law were alive, and the Shen family made such a request, this marriage would definitely have to be withdrawn.
Ma Peng said: "Dad, Yueyao insists on withdrawing from her family. Yueyao has had an idea since she was a child, let's follow her wishes! We are patient and searching, and we can always find a good person for Yueyao, even if we can't find someone who is satisfactory to Yueyao, with me, I will definitely not let people wronged Yueyao. β
Ma Chengteng feels that he is old, sometimes he doesn't need to think so much, this matter has come to this point, and it is inevitable to withdraw from his family, "Well, I will go and tell the Shen family about quitting my relatives later." β
Ma Peng shook his head and said, "Dad, I'll come forward to withdraw from my family!" Dad have a good rest these two days. Ma Peng meant to let Ma Chengteng and Yueyao pretend to be sick, and then he would come forward to withdraw from his family.
After Xiang Wei knew Ma Peng's idea, she said to Yueyao: "I didn't expect that in the end, it would be the eldest young master who gave you the lead." β
Yue Yao shook her head and said, "Uncle also loves me very much, but my uncle has a lot of worries when he is older." The eldest cousin is young and has fewer things to worry about. β
Xiang Wei smiled.
Zhuang Ruolan did not object to withdrawing from her family, but she felt that it was a little inappropriate to let Ma Peng come forward, "Husband, this matter is actually the most appropriate for my father-in-law to come forward." "After all, Ma Chengteng is an elder, and he has more authority to speak. Ma Peng is a junior, and many things are tied.
Ma Peng had his own thoughts, "Dad is sick, so he told me to do this." He didn't want his wife to know that it was his idea.
Zhuang Ruolan naturally no longer objected when she heard this, but she was very sad, "Yueyao is such a good child, why is it so unpleasant?" "Yueyao first died of her parents, and then met her wolf-hearted uncle and aunt, and now the family affair is about to be withdrawn. Zhuang Ruolan used to feel very sad, but now compared with Yue Yao, she seems to be soaked in a honey pot.
Ma Peng felt that the Shen family's marriage was relieved, and if he found a family similar to the Ma family in the future, he could also protect Yueyao: "Don't worry, it will always be fine." β
