"Why is it okay and you don't return for months?" Xiao Yuan, who had only soothed his mood for a moment at this time, immediately remembered Shi Manman's words after seeing Xiao Lei, and his face was cold.

"Lei'er didn't come back until she died, is that your face?" Xiao's grandmother knew Xiao Yuan's temperament and insisted on accompanying Xiao Lei. Sure enough, Xiao Yuan was about to reprimand when he saw Xiao Lei.

"Mother, Lei'er is so ignorant of the depths, it's because you spoil him too much." When Xiao Yuan saw his mother who came with him, he looked helpless, he couldn't teach Xiao Lei a lesson today.

"I'm just such a grandson, who do I spoil if I don't spoil him? Who made my son angry, he was blinded by a cheap concubine, and there were no more people to live or die. also complained that I spoiled my grandson too much, but you have a few more to share my love for Lei'er. Grandmother Xiao snorted angrily and pressed the standing Xiao Lei on the chair and sat on the side herself.

Xiao Yuan saw that his mother brought up the old matter again, and immediately changed the topic to Xiao Lei: "You still haven't carefully talked about what has happened in the past few months." And what about the girl who came with you. Under the stirring of Grandmother Xiao, Xiao Yuan had already dispersed the momentum that had been accumulated for a long time.

Xiao Lei respectfully told Xiao Yuan what he said to his grandmother word for word. After listening to this, Xiao Yuan thought of the previous treatment of Shi Manman, and his face was extremely unnatural and a little embarrassed.

Is it really a misunderstanding? Xiao Yuan thought in his heart, but he still didn't waver in sending someone to investigate Shi Manman's identity.

"In this case, let Miss Shi live in the Xiao family temporarily, and when it is clear that the background is indeed innocent, it doesn't hurt to give her a name." Xiao Yuan said undoubtedly.

"Reputation?" Xiao Lei looked at Xiao Yuan puzzled.

"Why, you made a promise with the other party, and the girl's family said it generously. Are you still ashamed? It's okay to marry into the Xiao family, but for her sake of saving you, she can only be a concubine, and as for the wife, I will find the right person. And you can't take her in until you marry the main room. Xiao Yuan told Xiao Lei his conditions.

When Xiao Lei first heard Xiao Yuan's words, he guessed in his heart that Shi Manman might have said something that made them misunderstood. But when Xiao Yuan said his conditions to himself, Xiao Lei was extremely repulsed in his heart: "I hope my father will forgive, and the child will forgive me!" "A casual sentence can decide someone else's life, and Shi Manvine is an object that can be manipulated. After saying that, I forgot to explain and threw up my sleeves and left. He hurried to ask what Shi Manman had told them.

"Rebel! Unfilial son! Don't come back! I'm angry old man! Xiao Yuan was angry by Xiao Lei's attitude. slapped the tea case hard, and the strength was so great that the tea in the cup on the tea case spilled out.

"Lei'er escaped from death, and when I saw you, the father and son, turned their faces like enemies." Grandmother Xiao saw that she couldn't stop Xiao Lei from leaving, so she turned around and accused Xiao Yuan.

"I also heard that you called the girl to the front hall for questioning? Although the Xiao family is a merchant family, they also pay attention to etiquette. The Xiao family's face has really been lost by you. Aunt Liu didn't dissuade her, and she was messing around with you. I think it's your wife! At the mention of Liu Yemei, Grandmother Xiao's face was as gloomy as water.

"Mother, it has nothing to do with Ye Mei. Aren't I beware of Lei'er? A woman appeared inexplicably, Lei'er is the only seedling of the Xiao family, and there are too many interests involved behind her. Xiao Yuan originally wanted to reprimand Xiao Lei, but now one thing has become the target of reprimand.

"Hmph, don't use your shopping mall curves at home. The matter of this back house, the old body has not yet been ancient, and it will be a day when outsiders will not be able to point fingers. Lei'er wants to like that girl, so what's if she marries, at least she is the rightful heroine of the Xiao family. Grandmother Xiao's words were sarcastic.

"You don't have to worry, Miss Shi's background, just check it secretly, so as not to find someone to talk to." When the words fell, he was tired. After Xiao Yuan respectfully sent Grandmother Xiao away, he looked at the courtyard where Shi Manman lived, and his face was gloomy.

Shi Manman, who was waiting for the dinner, was already hungry, she casually asked Yunbi if she had a belly pad to eat, and after a while, the maids appeared in front of Shi Manman with delicate porcelain plates, and Shi Manman didn't know where to start when he saw this variety of pastries.

She had only eaten Xiao Lei's grilled fish and some stewed soup in Kunlun, and the appearance of the dessert in front of her alone had dazzled her.

After the desserts were served, the first thing to move was the small hooked snake in the sleeves of the stone vines, and a piece of honey dried meat was seen in a flash of black light. Yun Bi once explained to the maids in the house, and the stone vines raised a black snake, so that they would not be rude because of fright. Although they were prepared, they couldn't help but be startled when they saw the little hooked snake with their own eyes.

"Don't you eat? I can put it away. The maids beside Shi Manman, who wanted to escape and were worried, thought that they didn't dare to eat because of the existence of the little hooked snake.

When the little hooked snake heard that the stone vine was about to put it away, he immediately spat out a threatening letter to the maids. "No, don't dare." The maids' heads shook like rattles, and the stone vines were no longer reluctant when they saw this.

"Childe." Yun Bi greeted Xiao Lei with a happy face.

"Yunbi, I have something to talk to Miss Shi alone." Xiao Lei bluntly sent several people in the room away.

"This ...... It doesn't make sense. Yun Bi looked at her son-in-law in embarrassment. Even if she knew that Xiao Lei had promised to marry Shi Manman, she hadn't married her yet. Lonely men and widows are alone in a room, which will be criticized by idlers.

"It's okay, you don't have to close the door." Xiao Lei waved his hand to let Yun Bi leave, and Yun Bi saw that Xiao Lei insisted and had to retreat.

Shi Manman saw that Xiao Lei had something to say, so he patted the powder on his fingers and said, "Have something to say to me?" ”

Xiao Lei looked at Shi Manman's clear eyes, and was speechless for a while. He was stunned for a moment, until the light reflected from the tea in Shi Manman's hand shook his eyes, and then he asked, "Did you say something to my father?" ”

Shi Manman raised his eyes and thought for a while: "I said seven sentences, which one do you ask?" ”

"Do you remember what you said?" Xiao Lei asked.

Shi Manman nodded, and repeated what he said in the hall one by one, until the last sentence fell, Xiao Lei, who was about to swallow the tea, choked on a big mouthful and sprayed a small hooked snake. The little hooked snake, which was lying on the table and concentrating on digesting the food in its belly, raised its little head angrily and shouted, "Damn human! Are you going to disgust the food I ate?! ”

Xiao Lei ignored the shouting little hook snake, wiped the corners of his mouth and said to Shi Manman: "I...... I...... Said? ”

"You didn't say it, you promised before you left Kunlun." Under Shi Manman's reminder, Xiao Lei suddenly remembered Shi Manman's unclear words in the noisy environment before leaving Kunlun. After nodding vaguely in agreement, the dragonfly kissed like water. He couldn't put into words how he felt at the moment. seems to be surprised and happy, surprised that the goblin wants to marry him, and the joy comes from the heart for no reason.

In the midst of the confusion of thoughts, Xiao Lei saw his reflection at the moment from the clear eyes of Shi Manman. The boiling emotions calmed down at once, he sat upright, took a deep breath and said to the other party: "Do you know what your words represent?" ”

Shi Manman had never seen Xiao Lei look so solemn, and he also sat upright and shook his head silently.

"It means that you must eat and live with me in the future, and ...... Sleep in one bed. But you can also leave, the etiquette of the world has no restraint on demons. But for me, you are my responsibility, my family. If you can't stand the constraints of the world and leave after getting married...... I vowed never to let my wife repeat my mother's mistakes. Therefore, I will only marry one person in my life, and ...... Only one person will be loved......"

Shi Manman looked at Xiao Lei's sincere eyes, and had a thought in his heart, which he had never had since he was born.

"I'm not leaving." Shi Manman couldn't help but stroke the back of Xiao Lei's slightly trembling hand.

"Then why marry you?" Xiao Lei seemed to let go of all the knots in his heart at once, and smiled and grabbed Shi Manman's somewhat cold palm.

"What? You're going to marry a goblin? The little hooked snake had been lying on the table and quietly listening to the conversation between the two, until Xiao Lei said that he wanted to marry Shi Manman, and he immediately ruined the atmosphere at an inopportune time.

"Aha...... Laugh at me, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? The little hooked snake rolled on the table and laughed, revealing its gray belly and slumping together.

"Struck by lightning?" Shi Manman looked at the little hooked snake curiously.

"To say you're a stupid goblin is to be stupid. The combination of humans and demons is not allowed by heaven. If you get married, you will be punished by heaven, and you two fools will be killed. The little hooked snake shook his head and explained. He knows more about the world than the stone vine, because it has a mother who has lived for a thousand years.

"Is the old man so idle? Have you ever seen anything like this? Shi Manman didn't believe it.

"This ...... I haven't seen it. But when my mother told me the story...... "The words of the little hooked snake are obviously becoming more and more unreliable."

"It's just a story, don't take it seriously." Xiao Lei shook his head, also not believing the words of the little hooked snake. He looked at the sky outside the door, got up, straightened the corners of his folded clothes, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat something delicious." ”
