48. Persuasion
Before Li entered the Shulin Pavilion, he heard bursts of laughter in the courtyard and the sound of children reciting poems loudly in immature children's voices, which was Xu Jing urging Sun Zhan's schoolwork.
Without her husband's help, she has to do everything herself!
Li sighed, took the food box from Mama Wu and entered the house, only to find that it was Xu Shu who mentioned Sun Zhan's ode to the book, Xu Jing was half-sitting on the bed and looking at it with a smile, and when she saw Li, she couldn't help but sit up and call, "Mother!" ”
"If you are not well, just lie down, what are the polite things between our mother and daughter!" Li pressed Xu Jing's upright body again, and Xu Jing had to lie down again.
Mama Wu served the chicken soup to Xu Jing and greeted Sun Zan and Sun Qi, "Mama will take you to the yard to pick flowers, okay?" ”
Sun Qi cheered and clapped his hands, Sun Zan glanced at his mother, and when he saw Xu Jing nodding, he took his sister's hand and walked away with Mama Wu.
Seeing that her mother had taken the child, Xu Jing knew that the Li family had something to say to her, so she also sent Xu Shu away, "Xiao Jiu, you go too, help me watch Aqi, she has a bad temperament, Mama Wu can't control her!" ”
Xu Shu squeezed Xu Jing's hand, Xu Jing pinched back slightly, and Xu Shu got up and saluted Li and retreated.
Xu Jing drank the soup silently, Li looked at her daughter's thin cheeks, and stopped talking, Xu Jing couldn't stand Li's appearance of hiding a thousand grievances in her heart but didn't say it, she immediately lost her appetite, put down the spoon and said, "Mother might as well say it if she has something to say!" ”
"You ...... with your uncle" As soon as I heard the Li family mention Sun Xiang, Xu Jing's face immediately collapsed, and the Li family had no choice but to silence, seeing that Xu Jing's face eased before he spoke, "I'm afraid of arguing with you in the past two days, and I don't dare to mention it to you, the Sun family entrusted many people to invite the master to the banquet, and the master pushed it all, just now your second sister also came to intercede with the Sun family......"
"I know, the second sister was stopped by Xiao Jiu, I guess she should be looking for you!" Xu Jing looked at Li with expectation, "What did the second sister tell you?" Persuade me to go back? ”
Li didn't see Xu Jing's expression and only nodded, "It was about the Sun family who asked someone to ask for Liang Houye, and she came back for this trip. Even with his own face being lowered by a junior, the Li family was angry with Xu Yan after all.
Xiao Jiu stopped her, can she not be angry? I think since she married into the Liang family, I'm afraid I haven't heard half a sentence of dislike again! Xu Jing snorted slightly, the Liang family became a marquis with the concubine and the eldest prince, Xu Yan thought that she had married into a powerful family, so she no longer looked down on the Xu family, and the only person who the Xu family could make Xu Yan look at now was Xu Shu, just because Xu Shu had a little more face than her in front of the Queen Mother.
What if he is despised by Xu Yan? It is a fact that the Xu family does not dare to offend the Liang family, not only does they not dare to offend, but they also have to curry favor! Since the Liang family has interfered in the affairs of the Sun family, what else can she say as a woman? Li sighed, "I know you'll be unhappy when you mention your uncle, but I can't help but mention it!" Now that my uncle is gone, you ...... What's next? ”
"What are my plans?" Xu Jing couldn't help but ask, "When my mother asked me, I'm afraid she has already made plans for me, right?" ”
Li turned his head weakly and didn't want to admit it, "I will try to persuade your father to follow you as much as you want!" ”
Xu Jing smiled coldly, "Mother wants to hear my true words?" ”
"Naturally!" Li nodded in reply.
"Merge!" Xu Jing's voice was cold and resolute.
Li opened his mouth wide in fright, although Xu Hui also said in his anger that he wanted Xu Jing to separate from Sun Xiang, but he didn't mention it anymore when he was angry, Xu Jing mentioned it again, but Xu Yan came to persuade peace on behalf of the Liang family......
"Didn't Mother say it's all mine? Could it be that you can't lie to me? The shock and flickering in Li's eyes revealed her original intention of not wanting Xu Jing to separate, and the last remaining expectations in Xu Jing's eyes were also dissipated.
Li didn't dare to look directly at Xu Jing, his eyes looked over the erected window lattice, and looked at his grandson and granddaughter in the courtyard, "The children are still young now, where can they be separated from you, if you are separated, what will they do?" If the Sun family is really willing to let the Zhao family enter the door, and let her take care of the two children, won't you feel distressed? ”
Xu Jing lowered her head and didn't speak, she proposed to join the separation just to test Li's attitude, but Li's attitude disappointed her to the extreme......
This is the mother who gave birth to her and raised her! But he had to push her back into the fire pit with his own hands......
Li thought that Xu Jing was persuaded, so he made persistent efforts and said, "I know that the Sun family has done too much, but in life, how can everything go well, and it is inevitable that you will be wronged, just put up with it for the sake of the two children, endure it for a few more years, and wait for Brother Zhan to get famous......"
Endure...... Wait...... This is what a mother said to her daughter, Xu Jing has never been so disappointed in the Li family as she is at this moment, is her mother cowardly or planning to sacrifice her for the sake of the Xu family?
"I see!" Xu Jing gently stirred the spoon in her hand, and she no longer had an appetite, "I won't be separated from him, I'll go back when I'm better!" ”
She will go back, but she won't go back so easily, does the Sun family think that she will bow her head if she invites Yongle Hou? Don't even think about it!
Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xu Jing's constantly stirring soup bowl and said, "The soup is cold, I'll let the kitchen heat it for you!" ”
Xu Jing shook her head and put the soup bowl down, "It's time to take medicine, I can't drink it!" ”
Li sighed slightly, knowing that his strong daughter must be very uncomfortable if she can make a forbearance and regression, so she personally packed up the food box and left, "Rest well, just tell Mama Wu if you lack anything!" ”
Xu Jing smiled faintly, "There is Xiao Jiu!" ”
Xu Shu in the courtyard stood slim under the begonia tree, her eyes were covered with cloth bands, and the corners of her mouth were smiling, as if she sensed that Xu Jing had lifted herself and looked in the direction of the bedroom.
"Yes! There's Sister Shu'er! ”
Li Shi muttered, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, and the steps under his feet were extremely heavy!
Looking at Li's dazed expression, Mama Wu rushed to Xu Shu and ran to Li's with a slight salute, Li grabbed Mama Wu's hand and went out without saying a word, Mama Wu looked back at Xu Shu, but only saw Xu Shu's straight back, and was stepping into the house step by step.
Xu Jing in the house was already teary-eyed, holding the quilt tightly with both hands, suppressing her crying, seeing Xu Shu, she finally couldn't help but say, "Mother...... How can a mother ...... How can this be! ”
How can you do this to your own daughter! Just because he can't offend the Liang family, he has to push her into the fire pit!
Xu Shu sat on the edge of the bed and gently touched her eyes through the cloth belt, "In front of interests, all feelings are vulnerable!" ”
