"The in-laws I originally scheduled to arrange for Xia Zhiqiu were the original Zhao Yuanwai, Zhao Yuanwai is not very old, but he has reached the fourth grade of petty officials, and now there is a vague better development trend. Moreover, his mother was born in a merchant family, and the seized assets are said to be worth half of the national treasury. ”

"If it's about us before, then this condition can barely be improvised. But now that I've been demoted, our conditions are a drop in the bucket for him. ”

Xia Huaiqing gritted his teeth and said.

In the past, the conditions of their family were of course a piece of fragrant buns, but now that they have suffered a demotion, the emperor obviously has a prejudice against him, so naturally he can't help Xia Zhiqiu find a good in-law.

Coupled with Xia Zhiqiu's fact that he made such a heinous mistake, this thing is equivalent to making things worse.

Su Ruixin didn't know much about officialdom, she listened to Xia Huaiqing a little ignorantly, and her heart seemed to be poured with a pot of cold water from beginning to end.

"Then what can Zhiqiu do now?" Su Ruixin already knew that the original path was completely unworkable, and she hurriedly asked, delusionally thinking that she could arrange it again for Xia Zhiqiu.

"Master Hou, although you have been demoted now, it shouldn't be a problem for Zhiqiu to find an ordinary in-law to marry." Su Ruixin had the audacity to start speculating again.

Xia Huaiqing listened to Su Ruixin's superficial words, and the whole person's face began to fall: "Of course, it doesn't matter, but now that the power in the court is not stable, Xia Zhiqiu will marry off, which is also a very important step." ”

The implication of his words is already very obvious, he wants to use Xia Zhiqiu as a bargaining chip for marriage.

Su Ruixin's face turned pale after hearing this, and being turned into a marriage bargaining chip meant that she didn't have any rights.

Even if she arranges a pot-bellied man for Xia Zhiqiu, she must marry her, otherwise she will be disobeying the family's orders.

At that time, if Xia Zhiqiu's head is buttoned with such a hat, then Xiahou Mansion will no longer be a place for her to rely on.

According to the character of people like Xia Huaiqing, who does not recognize their six relatives, he will inevitably dissolve the father-daughter relationship with Xia Zhiqiu.

Although Su Ruixin's brain is confused in front of some small things, her brain is very sober in front of big things.

She saw that the general situation was now decided, and unless she had the power to reach the heavens, there was absolutely no way to change it.

One reality after another slapped hard in her face.

Su Ruixin's bottom of her heart, wanting to rely on Xia Zhiqiu to find a good place for herself to go in her old age, also disappeared little by little.

With Xia Zhiqiu's current situation, it is already inevitable that she will not be able to protect herself, and her mother will not be able to take care of it nine times out of ten.

Since Xia Zhiqiu can't be relied on at all, only Xia Huaiqing can be relied on.

In just a few seconds, Su Ruixin had already sorted out the stakes.

Now Xia Zhiqiu has only one outcast to speak of for her. The first is that it is useless, and the second is that when it is not handled properly, it will implicate its own hind legs.

If she insisted on protecting Xia Zhiqiu, this kind of hard-working but unflattering thing Su Ruixin was not prepared to do it from the bottom of her heart.

Anyway, Xia Zhiqiu is just a girl's house, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the girl on the street who is like her is a big handful.

And those girls tend to become more obedient, I don't want Xia Zhiqiu to show her a stinky face all day long, and she has to behave enthusiastically and do her duty as a mother. sweet potato

After Xia Zhiqiu lost her use value, Su Ruixin was so angry when she thought of her again. This is nothing more than a girl, with more layers of blood than ordinary ones.

The thoughts of wanting to defend Xia Zhiqiu in her heart have long since disappeared, and Su Ruixin is now thinking about finding a good place for herself.

"This matter is indeed Zhiqiu, she has gone too far." Su Rui was pleased to see that the wind direction changed and began to change her words, "The concubine and others will go and persuade her well, Master Hou, as her father, you can't always harm her." ”

"That's good." Xia Huaiqing felt very comfortable when he heard this, since Su Ruixin understood her own approach, then this matter must be done with half the effort.

Su Ruixin came out of Xia Huaiqing's study and went straight to Xia Zhiqiu's residence.

The maid behind her was out at first, and she couldn't hear what was being said inside. Now I suddenly saw the figure of my master in a hurry, and my heart was a fork.

"Master, what's going on?" The maid asked with concern, she was a confidant of Su Ruixin, and her integrity was indeed high enough in Su Ruixin's opinion.

Su Rui was happy to see that she was asking herself what had happened, and she didn't think about hiding anything, she said everything in 1510.

The maid listened to Su Ruixin's words with a bit of gritted teeth, and the expression on her face could only barely remain unchanged.

Her age is close to the same size as Su Ruixin, and Xia Zhiqiu can barely be regarded as mature and has grown up under her nose.

Although the maid doesn't know much about Xia Zhiqiu, she can still know some fur.

She thought that Xia Zhiqiu was just a little princess with a bad temper, but now these things she has done have completely refreshed her three views.

"Master, what are you going to do now?" The maid looked at Su Ruixin and asked.

Su Ruixin moved her eyes to the maid lightly, and her face remained unchanged: "I can only persuade her, this matter cannot be changed by relying on your and my strength now, in the end, she has done too many wrong things." ”

As she spoke, the hand on her side was squeezed fiercely by Su Ruixin, and she thought about the things Xia Zhiqiu had done, and her whole face darkened little by little.

The maid saw that Su Ruixin's emotions were not added, so she didn't ask anything, and accompanied her to Xia Zhiqiu's house step by step.

Xia Zhiqiu still didn't slow down at the moment, she sat on her own collapse, her face pale.

As soon as Su Ruixin walked in, she saw Xia Zhiqiu's half-dead and undetermined appearance, and her face darkened.

"Why, it's starting to look like this now?" Su Ruixin looked at Xia Zhiqiu, her eyebrows curled and bulged little by little.

Xia Zhiqiu was stunned when she heard Su Ruixin's voice, she raised her head to meet Su Ruixin's eyes, and this person's attitude involuntarily softened.

"Mother." Xia Zhiqiu screamed, and his voice sounded a little pitiful.

Su Ruixin's attitude towards Xia Zhiqiu is not hot at all now. She hummed nonchalantly and found a chair to sit down.

"I heard from your father that you've done something bad lately." Su Ruixin spoke lightly, and there was obviously a hint of asking the teacher in her tone.

Xia Zhiqiu listened, his whole face stiffened little by little, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, whether it was positive or negative.
