Chapter Twenty-Three: Drama
But what Lin Mai thought in her heart was that if there was any way to urge Kou Xiao to put the matter of detoxification on the agenda, she was willing to give it a try, even if it was misunderstood, anyway, Lin Mai had long been used to it.
"Go to sleep." After Lin Mai finished speaking, he fell on the ground and closed his eyes.
That night, both of them tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
In just a few days, Kou Xiao has done too much for himself, and what else can Lin Mai do besides taking the pulse for him?
She is not a woman who likes to take advantage of others with peace of mind, and the prenuptial agreement is too hasty to write, and no one can say what the real situation will be tomorrow.
Kou Xiao couldn't sleep because of his marriage to Lin Mai. From the first time the two met to now set up a family affair, everything happened too fast.
Although Kou Xiao's parents never made any demands on him, they may not be able to accept Kou Xiao's marriage to Lin Mai.
In the past few days, Mama Song has secretly talked about this matter several times, hoping that Kou Xiao will order someone to fly a pigeon to pass a book to Kou Xiao's mother to tell her about this family matter, but she has been suppressed by Kou Xiao.
Kou Xiao naturally won't regret promising people's things, but isn't it child's play to get married? If you want to do it, Kou Xiao, who pursues perfectionism, must do it well.
The next day, Kou Xiao woke up to see that the ground was empty, and it seemed that Lin Mai had packed up and gone out early in the morning.
In the field, Zhou saw Lin Mai's listless appearance, and stepped forward and asked gently, "Are you worried about marriage?" ”
"My mother still understands me." Lin Mai replied.
Previously, Lin Mai only thought about escaping from the nunnery and going home with Kou Xiao's strength, so he had to force Kou Xiao to agree to the marriage.
And Lin Mai had to admit that although Kou Xiao was young, he was bold and promising, both in terms of talent and courage and family appearance.
Marriage is not a child's play, Lin Mai calmed down and thought about it, she felt that she was still too selfish, she knew that Kou Xiao was hard to chase after him, but Lin Mai knew that with his conditions, their family would definitely look down on her.
When the time comes, you have to look at people's faces, not to mention grievances, and it will also affect the innocent Kou Xiao.
"My mother also thinks that your marriage is set too quickly, and it has only been a few days since we met...... But following Kou Xiao is better than staying in the Lin family, that is, being wronged, that is also the grievance of the rich family, my mother still hopes that you can be with Kou Xiao well. Zhou said.
"I know, mother, there are people from Kou Xiao here to help, don't be too tired, I'll go back and see him."
Seeing that Lin Mai had an inexplicable worry on his face when he mentioned Kou Xiao, Zhou's expression sank and asked, "You tell your mother honestly, is it true that Yang said that Kou Xiao was poisoned?" ”
Faced with Zhou's question, Lin Mai was stunned for a moment, and it was this stunned that indirectly affirmed Zhou's guess.
Zhou put his hand on Lin Mai's hand, touched the back of his daughter's skinny hand, and said with moist eyes: "Mother has figured it out now, I would rather you be the widow of a rich and noble family, than you be a cow or a horse for these lazy men in this poor country, do you understand what Mother means?" ”
Although the woman in front of her is silent on weekdays, Lin Mai knows that her heart is like a mirror, if it weren't for her husband who is worried about her uncertain life and death, and pity her helpless daughter, I'm afraid she would have wiped her neck and hanged herself.
Even for the sake of the Zhou family, Lin Mai must also capture Kou Xiao's heart and let Kou Xiao take the mother and daughter to escape from this poor mountain and bad water and this gang of people.
On the way home from Lin Mai, Kou Xiao walked all the way to the village with Da Xia, and after explaining some things, he turned back alone, but suddenly felt dizzy when he was about to get home.
He knew that he was having a toxin attack, and in order to prevent others from seeing him like this, Kou Xiao forced himself to hide behind a tree and sat down.
Just a few seconds after closing his eyes, he heard a voice: "Kou Gongzi, why are you sleeping here?" Ouch, your face is very bad, is it that the wind and cold have not healed, do you want me to help you go to the doctor? ”
The person who came was Lin Xia'er, Kou Xiao frowned and thought: I'm really afraid of something.
"I'm fine, maybe the sun is a little hot, and I'm in the heat for a while." Kou Xiao said.
"It's just spring, where is the scorching sun? Is Kou Gongzi joking with me, hehe. Lin Xia'er covered her mouth and smiled, realizing that this appearance was still very small.
But it made Kou Xiao feel that she was acting coyly, and she was suddenly a little disgusted.
At this time, Kou Xiao saw that there was a man on the road behind Lin Xia'er who was looking left and right, as if he was looking for something, and after seeing Lin Xia'er's back, the man immediately walked up.
"Miss Xia'er, you can make it easy for me to find it, I'm not busy at home today, I came to you, hehe, talk." The man smiled, although his appearance was a little ordinary, but he was quite upright.
"Brother Chen, you, why are you here at this time?" Lin Xia'er was suddenly annoyed in her heart. What a good opportunity, but just ran into a bad thing!
Kou Xiao on the side immediately remembered that Lin Mai inadvertently mentioned a few days ago that Lin Xia'er had already had a marriage contract, and her husband's family was in the next village, surnamed Chen.
It is a discerning person who can see that the person who is married to Lin Xia'er is the big brother Chen in front of him, Kou Xiao showed an imperceptible smile on his face, and he had an idea in his heart, thinking that the discomfort of this body was much lighter.
Kou Xiao stood up and walked behind Lin Xia'er, so close to Lin Xia'er, Lin Xia'er could even feel the hot breath exhaled from Kou Xiao's mouth, and her back suddenly stiffened, and she didn't dare to move.
"Who is this?" Chen Decai tried to make himself look polite.
Lin Xia'er smiled awkwardly, and was just about to open her mouth when she was robbed by Kou Xiao: "Who are you?" Who allowed you to call her Miss Xia'er? ”
Kou Xiao's tone sounded very unfriendly, which made Chen Decai frown, and said, "I have a relationship with Xia Er, she is my daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, why can't I call her Xia Er?" ”
"Did you ask my consent?" Kou Xiao also frowned.
Chen Decai's face immediately pulled down, and he asked Lin Xia'er, "Who are you this man?" Why did he talk to me like that? Also, you two are standing too close, come here! ”
Saying that, Chen Decai pulled Lin Xia'er to his side, and Lin Xia'er immediately said with an embarrassed expression: "Oh, don't make trouble for me, it will make people embarrassed." ”
Unexpectedly, Lin Xia'er would come to such a sentence, where was that expression embarrassed, it was clearly enjoyment, Kou Xiao's stomach churned, and she almost didn't vomit.
But the premeditated plan was not completed, Kou Xiao forced himself to hold on, he stepped forward and pulled Lin Xia'er back to him, and said to Chen Decai:
"Why are you talking to us like that? Don't you know what our relationship is? ”
