Chapter 17: Amazing

"The old man is Xiao Lei's father, and he is very grateful to the girl for saving my son's life. If the girl has any requirements, the Xiao family will definitely meet them. Xiao Yuan made up his mind to send this woman who came from an unknown source, perhaps a woman who came to the door to ask for retribution.

"I didn't ask for it." Shi Manman shook his head.

Shi Manman's answer made Xiao Yuan very embarrassed, and he didn't ask for it, what excuse did he use to send the other party?

"Miss Shi, you are alone now, why don't you buy you a few shops and fields in Shicheng or your favorite place, and then settle a house, how about it?" Liu said to Shi Manman with a smile, it seems that those things are just a small thing for the Xiao family.

Liu's words made Xiao Yuan squint his eyes in satisfaction and looked at Shi Manman. Such a condition will gladly agree to it if you understand it. This is more practical than giving gold and silver, and it is better to give them fish than to give them fish.

But surprisingly, Shi Manman shook his head and said, "Thank you, I can't ask for it." ”

Shi Manman's refusal did not win the appreciation of the Xiao family, but thought that the person in front of him was a regression to obtain greater benefits, and he felt a trace of disgust for Shi Manman in his heart.

"Xiao Lei has already promised to marry me, and I will live with him in the future. I don't need a house or anything else. Shi Manman's words were like a spring breeze, and his words made the whole hall silent.

"Waste...... Ridiculous! Xiao Yuan threw the tea cup in his hand on the table hard, and the hot tea splashed everywhere.

"Sir, rest your anger." The roar and crash made everyone in the hall come back to their senses at the shocking news of the stone vines, and Liu got up and took out an embroidered handkerchief to wipe the tea on Xiao Yuan's hand, while ordering the maid to clean up the table.

"It's us who is abrupt. Miss Shi will live in Xiao Mansion for a few days first, so that Lei'er, ah no, the Xiao family will repay the grace of saving lives. Yunbi, take the girl back to the shallow residence to rest, and then let the big kitchen prepare a dinner party to catch the wind and wash the dust for the son. Seeing Xiao Yuan's gaffe, Liu Yemei hurriedly ordered the maid to leave with Shi Manman.

In the face of Xiao Yuan's anger, Shi Manman still "tasted tea" lightly. It's just that when Xiao Yuan roared angrily, he frowned faintly. She has always hated noise.

The strange atmosphere in the hall had already made her uncomfortable, and after listening to Liu Yemei ask Yun Bi to lead her back to Qiansuju, she immediately put down the tea cup in her hand and left with Yun Bi very "rudely".

When Shi Manman left the hall, Liu Yemei lightly smoothed Xiao Yuan's angry and undulating chest, and whispered in Xiao Yuan's ear: "Master, Lei'er's grade is not too young, and it is a happy event to have a girl you like." It's long overdue for us to add new people to our house. ”

"When marriage is a big event, how can there be a reason to make your own decisions!" The soft whisper of Liu Yemei's eyebrows calmed Xiao Yuan's angry emotions a lot.

"What's more, this woman is unknown and rude!" Xiao Yuan looked at Shi Manman, who turned around and left without saying goodbye, and even the most basic etiquette was not as good as that of village women and children.

"Father." Although frail, Xiao Jin, who was still sitting in a dignified and decent posture, suddenly spoke.

Liu Yemei and Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Jin when they heard this, "My daughter has something to say, I don't know if I should say it." ”

"It doesn't hurt to be straight." Xiao Yuan is very fond of Xiao Jin, who is knowledgeable and understanding, but as far as marriage is concerned, Xiao Jin once said to Xiao Yuan that he would choose Ruyi Langjun by himself, and Xiao Yuan acquiesced, so he has not persecuted Xiao Jin until now.

"If the father is Lei'er's age, the daughter is afraid that she has already been born. But Lei'er is now even clean with the people around her, and her family has forced Lei'er to marry a wife, but the result is, my father also knows. Now Lei'er has a favorite girl, and she has agreed to marry each other, how can she be a human being without believing in her words? Xiao Jin's words seemed to make sense.

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he was silent

Seeing Xiao Yuan's silence, Liu Yemei said: "Although Miss Shi's origin is unknown, we can secretly investigate the other party's purpose and identity, if it is really innocent, what if Lei'er marries, as for the identity of the Xiao family, isn't everything decided by the master?" Even if there is a purpose, let's be prepared, how much storm can a woman rise? ”

That's right. This rebel has caused trouble, why hasn't he come to see me until now, he has really been away for a long time, and his wings have hardened. Xiao Yuan's mind was Shi Manman's cold and clear eyes, even if Liu Yemei said that the other party was just a weak woman, but he felt that the other party was not as simple as he imagined. After more than ten years of experience in the mall, he has never felt so powerless.

"Master, I just heard from other people that the old grandmother is in the Son's Courtyard." Yunxi saw that Xiao Yuan seemed to have the idea of teaching Xiao Lei a lesson, and hurriedly explained to Xiao Lei.

"Yunxi! You're getting bolder now, did the lord let you speak? Can you take my rules as a transgression? After Xiao Jin scolded Yunxi, his breath became rapid again.

"If you are angry with your subordinates, just send it away if you are disobedient. Go and use my chariot and send the eldest lady back to rest. Liu Yemei saw Xiao Jin's painful face, and hurriedly ordered the maid to send Xiao Jin back to the courtyard.

"Aunt Xie, Jin'er will retire." After Xiao Jin saluted Xiao Yuan and Liu Yemei in the hall, he left the front hall with the help of the maid.

"Miss, I'm ......" Yunxi said to Xiao Jin with a sad face.

"Shut up!" After leaving the hall, Xiao Jin's face was very gloomy, and she shouted these three words at this moment, as if all her strength had been exhausted, and her pale face and body trembled slightly.

Yunxi had never seen Xiao Jin like this, and knew that he had really angered his master. Only then did she begin to be scared in her heart, and she knew the status of the maid in the family very well. After being reprimanded by Xiao Jin, he didn't dare to say another word,

Although she followed behind Xiao Jin tremblingly, she still remembered what Shi Manman said in her heart, how could such a mediocre woman get the promise of her son. At this moment, she was not only jealous of Shi Manman, but also a trace of resentment.

After Yunbi took Shi Manman back to the wing room, she said to Shi Manman: "Miss Shi, you take a rest, I will go and tell the kitchen to cook first." ”

Shi Manman nodded, but did not answer.

After Yunbi left, Shi Manman sent the maid in the clean house again. Only then did the little hooked snake have a chance to slip out and said to Shi Manman: "Xiao Lei's family seems to reject you. ”

Although Shi Mana has almost lost her mana, her sense of sight, smell, and hearing is still far more sensitive than that of humans. The conversation between the three members of the Xiao family, the stone vines and the small hooked snake wrapped around her wrist, were all listened to word by word.

"Maybe it's because I'm an outsider." Shi Manman can only simply think that their hostility and rejection of her is because of their "territory" that she has broken into.

"It's better to Kunlun. With my mother here, no one dared to bully me. The little hooked snake was immersed in the nostalgia of his hometown and mother.

"Did you just feel it, that willow eyebrow. Her breath was peculiar, a familiarity, but I couldn't remember where it was for a while. Shi Manman sat down in his chair.

"Special? No, humans are stinky. Oops, I was just soaked in water for a while and was fished up by you, and I was going to die of thirst. The little hooked snake spat out the letter.

After pouring a glass of water for the little hooked snake, the stone vine ignored it. The little hooked snake sprinkled the water in the cup on the table and rolled and played in the shallow water. And Shi Manman dragged his chin and pondered everything today.

In Xiao Lei's courtyard, Xiao's grandmother listened to the "story" that Xiao Lei had made up for months. was wiping his red and moist eyes, and he didn't let go of his hand holding Xiao Lei for a moment.

"No wonder we haven't been in contact these days, how are our legs now, is it still easy to walk? And the stone girl, what a good girl who is filial. Now it's coming to our Xiao family? The old body wants to thank others in person, she is the only bloodline of our Xiao family. Grandmother Xiao said to Xiao Lei.

Xiao Lei had already thought about the questions that the Xiao family would ask him on the way back. If you ask why there has been no news for months, tell them that they have rolled down the valley after being chased by wolves, and have broken their legs and cannot walk. If they still ask, why don't they let the person who saved them report the news. He said that he smashed his head when he fell down the mountain and was in a coma for a while. And Shi Manman's parents have lived in the mountains for a long time, she also grew up in the mountains since she was a child, and after her parents passed away, she guarded their tombs, she has never been in contact with the outside world, and she doesn't know where the Xiao family is. In this way, he can only return home after Xiao Lei is "cured".

"Grandmother, I have already asked Yun Bi to take care of Miss Shi first. Let's go to my father's. Xiao Lei said.

"Well, even though your father learned of your disappearance, he seemed to outsiders to be no different from usual. But I know that he will not feel better in his heart than I am. Saying that, Xiao Lei helped her get up and walked out.

"Lei'er, are you trying to give other girls a name?" On the way, Grandmother Xiao came up with this sentence coldly.

Xiao Lei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Grandmother, you can't ruin the reputation of other girls." "Although the goblin seems to have said that he wants to marry himself.

Grandmother Xiao heard Xiao Lei say this, and smiled ambiguously: "You are really confused, lonely men and widows have been together for months, even if your relationship is clearer than water, but it has already ruined the reputation of other girls." ”

"Grandmother, Lei'er has her own measure." Xiao Lei didn't know that Shi Manman was speaking amazingly in the hall. He pondered what kind of identity Shi Manman would use in the future to stay in the Xiao family without a handle.

Grandmother Xiao didn't know Xiao Lei's thoughts, and secretly decided to see Shi Manman. If the person is really good, it doesn't hurt to marry into the Xiao family and give her the status of a flat wife. While thinking about it, the farther and farther I thought, my heart suddenly blossomed. She had been waiting for a long time to hold her great-grandson.

"Hehe, it's good to be measured." Grandmother Xiao smiled and looked at Xiao Lei on the side lovingly.
