Chapter XXIII; Xue Tianao's determination

Early the next morning, Xue Tianao came to Xiao's house with his father, and Xiao Man personally greeted him at the door, followed by a large family, among which naturally there was Xiao Wanyao.

Xiao Wanyao was calm on the surface but uneasy in her heart at this time, because only she knew what Xue Tianao would say next, but she didn't know what the real consequences of this sentence were.

Xiao Man didn't know it, and greeted Xue Tianao with a smile at this time: "How is the virtuous nephew preparing?" Is this marriage a matter that can be decided? ”

Xue Tianao held a brocade box in one hand, and said to Xiao Man with great confidence: "Back to Uncle Xiao, this family affair is already a sure thing. ”

Hearing the words "nailed", Xiao Wanrou and Liu Ruyun were very moved, Xiao Wanrou felt that Xue Tianao had finally changed her mind, and she could also be the young lady of the Xue family naturally.

Seeing Xiao Wanrou's happy and inextricable appearance, Xiao Wanyao could only shake her head helplessly; And seeing Liu Ruyun's smug appearance, Xiao Wanyao was even more speechless, they didn't listen to Xue Tianao at all!

And Xue Tianao completely ignored Xiao Wanrou's existence, even if Xiao Wanrou was looking at him affectionately at this time.

Xue Tianao turned to his father and said, "Father, the son wants to give the lotus necklace to his son's future wife. ”

Xue Youcheng smiled after hearing this: "There has been a change, my son has changed!" This jade lotus necklace is the best Hetian sheep fat jade carving, is the first emperor to reward the child Tianao, in order to show favor, now the child Tianao is willing to send out the heart, it seems that the determination has been set to get married. ”

Xiao Wanrou's eyes turned red when she heard this, of course, because of excitement and emotion, she never expected that Xue Tianao would not only marry her, but also give her such a precious gift!

"Send it away! Don't keep your fiancΓ©e waiting. Xue Youcheng urged, Xue Tianao nodded, and walked towards Xiao Wanyao with the brocade box without any doubt, without even looking at Xiao Wanrou.

Xue Tianao walked up to Xiao Wanyao unhurriedly, the smile in his eyes was almost overflowing, and he said softly: "This jade lotus is yours from today onwards, please keep it!" ”

Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but think of the Lantian pink jade lotus jade pendant that they had a dispute over when they met in the antique shop, and that jade pendant she still carefully treasures, on the one hand, because she has memories, and on the other hand, she also feels that it can really protect herself and keep her safe.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but smile, and gently held up the jade lotus hanging around her neck with her hand, and found that the pattern of this jade lotus was strikingly similar to the pattern of Lantian pink jade pendant, no wonder Xue Tianao would be interested in that jade pendant at that time.

Xue Tianao also looked at Xiao Wanyao with a smile, but the thoughts of the people around him were not.

Xiao Wanrou covered her mouth and almost cried, Liu Ruyun looked at Xiao Wanyao and Xue Tianao with a grim face, Xiao Man felt that it didn't matter, no matter who Xue Tianao married, he would make a steady profit, and Xue Youcheng's face was first surprised, and then it was full of clouds.

"Heavenly pride! You're confused! The one next to her is the eldest lady of the Xiao family. Xue Youcheng said with a gloomy face, as if he was warning Xue Tianao.

Xue Tianao looked at his father calmly, and said slowly: "Dad, I only promised that I would marry Miss Xiao, as for which one, I didn't promise that it would be the eldest lady at the beginning." ”

"You!" Liu Ruyun was furious, trembling and pointing at Xue Tianao.

Xue Tianao ignored her, but continued to say to Xue Youcheng: "Father, no matter who I marry, it will be beneficial to you, since this is the case, I still ask my father to fulfill it." ”

Xue Youcheng's anger was even heavier: "Rebel, you are the descendant of the Xue family, then you should go to a woman with the same identity as you, she is a concubine, and you can't be together." ”

Xue Tianao frowned slightly: "Then I am willing not to marry for the rest of my life." ”

Xue Youcheng felt very embarrassed, Xiao Man hurriedly stepped forward to play a round: "Xue Xiangxian, don't be angry, Xue Gongzi is a man of temperament, his frank temperament is really commendable, which makes people admire, Xue Xiang might as well go into the house to dissipate his anger, drink a cup of tea, don't be angry." ”

After Xue Youcheng calmed down a little, he followed Xiao Man into the house, and pointed at Xue Tianao's nose when he left: "Rebel, you are not allowed to go anywhere today!" Just kneel here for me, reflect on when you come, and come in and tell me again! ”

Xiao Man was afraid that Xue Tianao would be embarrassed to stand here and be watched by others, so he dismissed everyone around him and left Xue Tianao standing here alone.

Xiao Wanrou had already run back to the house and cried, Liu Ruyun naturally didn't want to stay here for a moment longer, looked at Xiao Wanyao and Xue Tianao fiercely, and then brushed her sleeves and left.

"Is it worth it?" Xiao Wanyao saw that things were starting to get bigger, and it was more complicated than she originally expected, obviously her father Xiao Man had the heart to stand on her side, but Xue Youcheng's reaction was too aggressive, Xiao Man might not be able to do anything!

Xue Tianao knelt in the courtyard, and when he saw that Xiao Wanyao hadn't left yet, he felt a little surprised, so he looked up at her and said in a low voice: "It's not worth it, only whether you want to." Although Xue Tianao was stubborn, Qinghe could no longer compromise on the matter of marriage. He paused, and then said, "Qinghe is only willing to marry someone he identifies himself." ”

Xiao Wanyao was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then smiled bitterly, thinking that most of the reasons why she was willing to marry him was to leave this family completely? She and Xue Tianao won't last long, to put it bluntly, she is just using Xue Tianao again!

"I know I'm just stepping off the pedal of my life right now, and if you don't get married this year, you're going to have a hard time coming to the draft next year, stay with me...... You'll have less to worry about. ”

"If you know, why are you kneeling here begging your father?" Xiao Wanyao was puzzled, since she had to leave sooner or later, and he also knew that he was being used, why did he have to do this?

Although Xue Tianao knelt, he still raised the corners of his mouth proudly: "First of all, this is not begging him, this is my protest; Secondly, I know your selfishness, but I also have selfishness. He turned his head and glanced at Xiao Wanyao deeply, "I hope that after marrying you and going home, I will fall in love with me in the shortest possible time, and if you love me, you will not leave me." ”

This sentence aroused Xiao Wanyao's endless sadness, she also fell in love with a man in her previous life, for him, Xiao Wanyao can restrain all her cleverness, and is willing to suffer a grievance for him, in the end? Because others framed her, he mercilessly broke her legs with his own hands, stripped her title, and sent her into the cold palace, and he didn't look at her until she died...... Is this love?

Xiao Wanyao smiled bitterly, if love is such a thing as in her previous life, she has to break the fangs that can protect her, grind her claws, and expose herself to danger so much, if she needs to have love at the cost of these, Xiao Wanyao will not want love in this life.

But recalling these did make Xiao Wanyao really sad.

The sky gradually became darker, the autumn wind rose suddenly, and in a blink of an eye, large droplets of water fell on Xiao Wanyao's face, and a cold feeling mixed with her warm tears flowed down her cheeks.

"It's raining." Xiao Wanyao tried her best to hide her sadness, raising her hand to hang in the air, and the large raindrops became more and more dense.

The rain wet Xiao Wanyao's clothes and also Xue Tianao's robe, Xue Tianao hesitated for a moment, but still said to Xiao Wanyao: "In the end, this is all my own business, I shouldn't involve you to come in, it's raining heavily now, you go back first, don't get sick in the rain." ”

Xiao Wanyao shook her head: "How can it be none of my business?" ”

Xue Tianao smiled: "If my father softens his heart and comes to see me for a while, he will only be angry when he happens to see you there!" Xue Tianao caught a glimpse of licorice hiding on the side with his spare eyes, so he said: "Licorice, take your second lady away, you see that her clothes are soaked, if you don't change into dry clothes, it is estimated that she will get sick, I don't want to marry a sick person." ”

Licorice came over with an umbrella to hold it open for Xiao Wanyao, and said aggrievedly: "Second Miss, what Xue Gongzi said is that it is useless for you to stand here, but it will help you...... Follow the slave back to the house! No matter how big the matter is, Xue Gongzi is here. ”

Xue Tianao smiled and nodded, at this time, he was also soaked all over his body, the autumn rain was in a hurry, and it was a little biting, and he didn't care at all, but he was a little worried about Xiao Wanyao, seeing that she hesitated and finally left with the licorice umbrella, Xue Tianao was relieved.

The sky was obscured by dark clouds, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it didn't take long for the lights to be lit in the house, but neither Xiao Man nor Xue Xiang showed any signs of coming out. Xue Tianao knelt for a long time, his knees were a little painful, he couldn't help but wipe the rain on his face with his wet sleeves, and sighed secretly in his heart: "The house leak happened to rain overnight!" ”

The rain didn't stop all night, in the second half of the night, Xiao Wanyao began to have a fever, she was dizzy and couldn't remember anything clearly, licorice didn't sleep all night, she was busy boiling medicine for Xiao Wanyao, and then took a cloth dipped in water to cool down Xiao Wanyao, until Xiao Wanyao drank the medicine, and she didn't start to fall asleep until it was almost dawn.

Licorice also felt relieved at this time, guarding Xiao Wanyao, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Strange to say, Xiao Wanyao dreamed of Xue Tianao, Xue Tianao said to her: "Father finally agreed, I am going back to prepare for the wedding, the beginning of this year is the time of our wedding, our wedding is in the snow, I will spread the most colorful rose petals on the ground to marry you......"

Xiao Wanyao felt that there was an uncertain light in front of her, so she tried to open her eyes, only to find that it was already morning, how could she sleep so much? Suddenly remembering the bizarre dream she had just now, Xiao Wanyao remembered that she had a fever in the rain last night, and Xue Tianao's situation was unknown, because until she left, Xue Tianao was still kneeling in front of the door, soaked by the rain.

"Licorice, licorice?" Xiao Wanyao shouted at her several times in a hoarse voice, before she felt that she was sore all over, it turned out that she was still very sick last night. I1483
