Chapter Eighty-Three: Ulterior Motives

What Shaohua didn't expect was that before she could come up with a way, Xin Zixuan had already taken the initiative to help Li Sijin accept two concubines. It is said that both of them have clear eyebrows and slender figures, but there are no purple mandarins. When Shaohua Chu heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, but when he heard that Li Xunzhuo and the Ling family were full of praise for Xin Zixuan's virtuous generosity. Shaohua only felt that his heart was in turmoil, and he was not in the mood to eat anymore, so he left the table after taking a few bites at will.

In her memory, although Xin Zixuan is virtuous and knowledgeable, she has never been a person who will wronged herself. If someone dares to step on her, Xin Zixuan will definitely knock that person down. I confided in her a few days ago, and when I talked about her husband's concubine, that tone and that look could deceive others but definitely couldn't deceive her.

Now if she said that she was willing to take a concubine for her husband and had no complaints, Shaohua would want to run out and look up to the sky and laugh a few times.

Feeling uneasy, he secretly looked for an opportunity and slipped away to the garden. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I saw the sound of Zi Yuan's scolding, and I heard a thin cry not far away. Shaohua poked his head curiously and saw a beautiful figure in a rose-colored dress, bowing his head and covering his face with a handkerchief, crying sadly.

Next to the woman in the rose-colored dress stood a young woman in a willow smoke-colored gown, who was two or three years older than the purple duck with her eyebrows and eyes, and bowed her head to comfort the crying woman next to her, while scolding the purple duck violently. When he looked up and saw Shaohua's figure, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Shaohua, closed his mouth with interest, nodded slightly towards Shaohua, and then left with the crying woman.

"Humph! Kitsune! Don't go if you have the ability! Zi Yuan was still scolding, very puzzled, turned around and saw Shaohua with an unsmiling face, she hurriedly explained: "Fifth lady, that ...... just now"

"Sister-in-law is in the house?" Shaohua didn't have time to deal with Zi Yuan, she came to Xin Zixuan so many times, and she didn't look at Zi Yuan's face a few times. But it's true that his hands and feet are nimble, and he is meticulous in his work, even when teaching the maid, he can't compare to the first lotus.

"Yes." The purple duck replied humbly.

Shaohua nodded, and was about to leave, when he suddenly asked: "Those two are the aunts of the eldest brother Xinna?" ”

Zi Yuan hurriedly shook her head, "Not yet, it's just a girl in the room, the young lady said, whoever is pregnant will be mentioned as an aunt." But both of these are ......"

Shaohua frowned slightly, ignoring Zi Yuan's ready chatter to explain, and turned to leave. With such two flower-like ladies by his side, I am afraid that Li Sijin will be unable to sit still, let alone give such a temptation a condition.

Maids who don't want to turn positive are not good to get through.

Shaohua didn't know what Xin Zixuan's idea was, even if he wanted to take a concubine, he would find a few who looked honest and behaved. Not to mention the one who cried pear blossoms with rain, it was the woman with a willow smoke-colored gown, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and she was heroic, and people like Ziyuan couldn't find it well, so Xin Zixuan wouldn't suffer. Thinking that Shaohua couldn't wait to take three steps and two steps, he hurriedly walked towards the house.

"Da Lang's daughter-in-law, you see how this is good, Yan Niang is sixteen years old this year, if it is three years later, she will not be nineteen years old, and she will be an old girl by then." A loud voice frightened Shaohua's footsteps to stop at the door.

I only heard Xin Zixuan say slowly: "Seventh uncle, this is not something I can call the shots, or you can talk to A-Niang." ”

"Hmph, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will shirk it. One said that he was not a director and asked me to find my daughter-in-law, but the daughter-in-law said that she couldn't call the shots and asked me to find my mother-in-law. If you dare to play me like a monkey, if you don't pay attention to it today, I won't leave. Aunt Liu's voice was loud, her dantian was powerful, and Shaohua could hear the words in the house without much effort when she hid at the door.

"Seventh uncle, how can this be a shirk. It's not that we want to get out of the marriage, but we just let them delay it for a few years before getting married. Xin Zixuan replied with a smile.

"You still want to get out of the marriage?!" Aunt Liu's voice was much higher, and she covered her ears when she heard Shaohua outside.

Xin Zixuan didn't care about her tone at all, "Patriarch Liu also said it at the beginning, and everything will be said after Shiro Chunyu." Eh, who knew that Shiro would be so uncompetitive that he couldn't pass the exam, how could we let down the patriarch's entrustment, so we hurriedly sent him to Pingshan Academy. Xin Zixuan said bitterly and was very aggrieved.

"Hun said! My uncle didn't say that Shiro could only marry if he was admitted. Aunt Liu retorted angrily.

"If that's not, why don't you get it in advance?" Xin Zixuan pretended to be surprised, and then sighed, "This stupid boy is afraid of living up to expectations, so he insists on reading at night before the exam, presumably thinking too much, so he will be disappointed in the exam room." ”

"Y-What do you mean?" Could it be that Si Yan's fall from the list or their Liu family's fault, if you say so, isn't Yichen Qiuyu's failure to be the Li family's harm?

"It's not interesting, don't worry, Uncle Seven, I just want to say that since we are all in-laws, everyone wants to let Shiro go to Luyang with a beautiful scenery, and then carry the sedan chair to give Yan Niang a decent welcome, right." Xin Zixuan turned her tone and comforted, "Shiro's fame is for Yan Niang, if the Liu family thinks it's unnecessary, then we will let Shiro come back, anyway, the Li family can't afford to support two people." Seventh uncle, what do you think? ”

Shaohua couldn't help but want to laugh when she heard this, knowing that this Aunt Liu Qi was not here to obstruct Si Yan at all, she just wanted to give the Li family some prestige and some pressure, and it was best to take the initiative to give some compensation. Who would have thought that Xin Zixuan was a cotton belly, and she could make a detour in three sentences, twisting her anger for a few knots, and she couldn't get out. At the beginning, it was the Li family who pulled down the son to marry the Liu family Ti Siyan and Yan Sui, and the Liu family was a little angry because of Yichen's matter, so they took the opportunity to raise Yan Sui's identity and asked for a lot of dowry and bride price from the Liu family. Now that Xin Zixuan is so around, it has become that the Liu family is jumping in a hurry.

The Li family didn't even get the decision, and the prospective groom's official was gone, what if it was three years later, people didn't admit it.

Although the marriage of the Liu and Li families has been in marriage for so many years, it is unlikely that they will not admit it, but there is no basis for Yan Sui to wait for three years, and if there is any accident at that time, the gains will outweigh the losses.

"Who's at the door!" Aunt Liu Qi heard it loudly, but she couldn't pick out the thorns, just when she heard Shaohua's voice outside, she roared angrily.

Shaohua straightened his clothes, walked in generously, and went past the surprise in Aunt Liu's eyes, and saluted Xin Zixuan. When Xin Zixuan saw her, she was a little puzzled, "Wu Niang, why are you here." By the way, this is the seventh uncle of the Liu family. Seeing Aunt Liu's suddenly enlightened expression, he said to her: "Seventh aunt, this is the fifth mother of my second aunt's family." ”

"Wu Niang? It's the Wu Niang who was originally going to make a deal with Chenlang. Aunt Liu Qi unceremoniously refuted Shaohua's face was red and her ears were hot.

"Seventh uncle, you probably misunderstood, Wu Niang is not yet in time." Xin Zixuan didn't know what had happened before.

Aunt Liu Qi didn't pay attention to Xin Zixuan, but just looked Shaohua up and down several times, and that attitude of weighing the two made Shaohua very uncomfortable, "It looks like a Peugeot, no wonder Chenlang still can't forget it when he returns to Luyang." This sentence annoyed Shaohua even more.

Xin Zixuan secretly pinched Shaohua, and immediately smiled: "Wu Niang, you go and see for me if the lotus seed soup of Ziyuan is boiled, and let her serve it to me." Shaohua was a little displeased, when she came in, she obviously saw the purple mandarin before going to the kitchen, if she had done it, she would have brought it in a long time ago. But because of Xin Zixuan's eyes, she had to mumble out, and when she came back, Aunt Liu Qi had already left.

"Young lady, your lotus seed soup." The purple mandarin man rarely spoke deferentially.

"Go down, I'm going to talk to the fifth lady." Xin Zixuan didn't look at her at all.

Shaohua couldn't help but be curious, and after the purple duck left, she complained: "Sister-in-law, what did that fat woman do just now, I think she has a bad attitude." ”

"Didn't you hear it all outside?" Xin Zixuan took the lotus seed soup away and didn't move at all.

"I only listened to it a little bit, could it be that the Liu family came to force marriage?" Shaohua thought about it and said. "However, what the Liu family said is also that Sister Yansui is sixteen years old this year, and it will be a little late in another three years."

Xin Zixuan smiled bitterly, how could she explain to Shaohua that the bride price that the Liu family asked for was taken by the Liu family to buy a question for Si Yan, and the result was thrown into the water. Originally, he also expected Li Sijin to take out some of Xin Zixuan's dowry, so that she could go to say goodbye to Siyan. was so angry that Li Sijin almost wanted to cut off the mother-son relationship with her, and her mother-in-law didn't forget about adding makeup to her daughter-in-law, how could she let her add makeup.

Li Liangxun also felt that Liu's was too much, so he didn't talk to her, and he had been resting in He's house for the past few days, so that Liu's suffering couldn't be said. Seeing that someone from his mother's family was inquiring, he sent him to Xin Zixuan's side.

Originally, it was not easy to explain the matter of marriage in this world, and a Liu family was stirred up in the middle.

"Little lady, don't ask too much, it's all an adult's business." Xin Zixuan pulled Shaohua to sit in the back room, "Why did you think I came here today, is the hand injury healed, did you use the medicine given by Yan Kaizhi, is it okay?" ”

Listening to Xin Zixuan's gentle concern, Shaohua was a little sad, "It's all right, I'm all right, but my sister-in-law is not good." ”

"What's wrong with me?" Xin Zixuan is funny.

"You wronged yourself, but you still let your eldest brother take a concubine." Shaohua thought of what Wanhua said to her, after all, she was a next-room relative, and her sister-in-law from an uncle's family couldn't interfere in her brother's and sister-in-law's house. "Forget about taking a concubine, you also found so many two! I said are you really generous or really stupid, such a lady, you make the big brother not moved! Hey, I'm worried about you. ”

Xin Zixuan listened to Shaohua's words very heartwarmingly, "I'm not so generous, and I'm not stupid." Seeing that Shaohua was so anxious that she couldn't speak well, Xin Zixuan pulled her to her side and whispered: "Chunrong is my sister-in-law who accompanies the Xu family, her man was framed and imprisoned, and the family forced her to marry another, but she refused, so she was recommended to come here." ”

Shaohua opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff a duck egg, "Then, what about the other one?" ”

"The other is one of the five ladies that A-Niang found before, the family is a white family, and she only sold herself after owing debts." Xin Zixuan knows the life experiences of the two of them well, and regrets her previous irrationality, which is not difficult to solve. "She told me that when I got pregnant, she would let her out."

"But what if she refuses to go?" Shaohua didn't dare to say that if she couldn't conceive.

"Then stay." Xin Zixuan suddenly felt a little girlishly shy, "This is your eldest brother's idea, saying that this will not make trouble for me all day long." Every night he would go to their house and sit for an hour, and then he would go back to the house with me. ”

Is that okay too? Shaohua felt that he had misunderstood Li Sijin, and it turned out that he was still careful to protect himself Xin Zixuan.

Looking at Xin Zixuan's happy appearance, Shaohua felt that his worries were a little redundant. If a man is sincere enough to protect his wife, he will not make her feel too embarrassed.
