Chapter 35 Intentions

The patriarch was still immersed in the imaginary scene, and Xiao Yuan suddenly smiled: "Have you figured out how many tables to set?" Seeing Xiao Yuan asking about the banquet, the second elder thought that he had agreed and said happily: "I have estimated the size of your mansion, and your garden for appreciating flowers and plants should have thirty-six tables." ”

"How much budget has the second uncle prepared?" Xiao Yuan was still smiling.

"Uh...... This, you also know that the second uncle's family is not well-off. The boy begged his daughter-in-law, and the dowry cost a lot. These thirty-six tables are just enough for the clansmen to arrange, and they can't be called this one and forget that one. I think you'll be a little bit of a part, too. I don't want your share of the money, I can still make up six tables for the budget of thirty-six tables, and the remaining thirty tables will be a small gift for your nephew as an uncle. "It seems that it is a good deal to give up the money in exchange for those thirty tables. Because he thought that the value of the money given by Xiao Yuan must be greater than the thirty-six tables.

"What else have you decided? Let's talk about it together. Do you want Xiao Mansion to make a courtyard for you as a wedding room? Xiao Yuan continued to ask, and the three of them didn't seem to notice that the smile on his face had disappeared without a trace.

"That's for the best, of course." The patriarch happily touched the long beard that had grown next to his mouth for a long time.

"Let this little couple stay for another two days? The second uncle's family also came to enjoy the happiness together? Xiao Yuan continued.

The patriarch was stunned, although Xiao Yuan, whom he knew, was a generous person, he had never spoken so well. The three elders who didn't look at Xiao Yuan's eyes even thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"How embarrassing is this...... the second elder said this, but there was no trace of embarrassment in his expression.

"Huh...... This is what you call a family. My only son is still in prison, and my daughter is bedridden. But you stand in front of me and take it for granted! Xiao Yuan laughed angrily, he saw the face of the so-called family clearly today.

"How can you say that. Your father died, leaving you orphans and widows. If it weren't for your pity, I would have given you some food from time to time. Would you still have the same family business as you do now? It's just for you to borrow a mansion for a banquet, so why should you be involved in anything else? The patriarch responded to Xiao Yuan with confidence, they always thought that Xiao Yuan's current achievements were inseparable from them.

Xiao Yuan couldn't refute it for a while, what the patriarch said was not unreasonable. It is because of this kindness that it has become an excuse for these people to get what they want. He once thought that Shi Manman's purpose in coming to the Xiao family was to seek retribution, but in fact, it was just his own resistance. The reason for this comes from the family members of these self-proclaimed elders in front of them.

"That's it." The patriarch clapped his chair and stood up. I was finally able to leave the diaphragm's chair, and I was still at ease with my own kang head.

"When the time comes, I will bother my eldest nephew to arrange the arrangement." The second elder strangled his mouth, and a mouthful of yellow teeth was in his smug smile.

The three of them left triumphantly as if they had won a battle, and did not forget to serve the pastries on their plates. The dim sum made by the chef of the Xiao family is not available in the world.

Xiao Yuan finally had no choice but to tell Grandmother Xiao about this, and Grandmother Xiao was uncharacteristically not angry, but sneered: "Help our orphans and widows? Bah! These white-eyed wolves. If I hadn't been strong, the one-third of an acre of land left by your father would have been taken away by this group of jackals! Occupy our Xiao family's banquet? Hmph, let them come, and I will do my best to 'the friendship of the landlords!' ’”

Grandmother Xiao paused and said, "You just go and deal with Lei'er's affairs, I'll do these bad things." At the mention of Xiao Lei, Grandmother Xiao's tough attitude softened.

"It's almost lunch. Don't go, let's stay and eat together. Grandmother Xiao took a sip of tea and said. It seems that only at this time will Grandmother Xiao be less sharp at the willow eyebrows that have been standing aside.

In the light gauze tent, a Qianqianyu hand opened the corner of the bed tent, coughed weakly twice, and called: "Huan Yan......"

"Miss, you're awake!" Huan Yan, who was holding the decoction in his hand, heard Xiao Jin's call and hurriedly walked towards her. While walking, he didn't forget to kick Yunxi, who was asleep on the table, and Yunxi woke up with an "ouch".

"What's wrong with me?" After Xiao Jin woke up, he felt that the world was spinning when he opened his eyes, and the back of his head ached for a while.

"Miss was bitten by a long bug yesterday...... Why don't you go and inform the old lady, the young lady is awake. Huan Yan looked at Yunxi, who was bending over and rubbing his legs, and shouted angrily, it was really Miss Maid's heart.

Yunxi still wanted to refute why the other party didn't go by himself, but suddenly thought of something and straightened up. After Xiao Jin wakes up, Xiao Lei will definitely come to visit, so she doesn't want to go to the Gongzi's courtyard to spread the news. She secretly left happily when she thought about it, as if she had forgotten Xiao Lei's cold eyebrows at her yesterday.

Yunxi arrived at Xiao Lei's courtyard first, but was empty. turned to find out that the old lady was at Grandmother Xiao's, and hurried to go, but still did not find Xiao Lei.

"Jin'er is awake?" Seeing Yunxi nodding, Liu Yemei was happy to go to Xiao Jin's courtyard. Grandmother Xiao snorted coldly, and Liu Yemei froze in place, neither walking nor standing.

"Let's go." Grandmother Xiao was also worried about Xiao Jin, so she didn't embarrass Liu Yemei.

Several masters walked in front without saying a word, and after Yunxi left the courtyard, he found that the Xiao family was filled with depression. Without knowing why, she quietly slowed down, grabbed a maid who followed her and whispered, "What happened?" Sir, they didn't seem happy to hear that the young lady had woken up. ”

The little maid secretly made a silent gesture to Yunxi, and saw that no one around them was paying attention, and they bowed their heads and whispered in Yunxi's ear: "You didn't know in the courtyard yesterday that our son-in-law was arrested and imprisoned for murder." How could a person with such a kind son kill someone, he must have been wronged......"

A short sentence shook Yunxi in place, she didn't hear what the little maid said at the end, she heard "Childe kills...... ...... caught". For a while, what flashed in her mind was not Xiao Lei's usual gentle smile, nor the caring and considerate gentleness she once had, but whether she could still become the aunt of the Xiao family.

The appearance of being arrogant and showing off his might that has been fantasized countless times has become a bubble that bursts at a moment, and anyone will be hit and lose their reaction.

"Sister Yunxi. Let's go. The little maid pulled the corner of Yunxi's clothes and reminded.

"Huh? Oh. Yunxi, who was still unable to extricate himself from the fracture of the future, nodded mechanically, and followed behind the crowd like a walking corpse, but when he saw Xiao Yuan's back, his eyes suddenly became clear for a moment, and he didn't know what he thought of and fell into a struggle.
