awake
The Xie family's eyes widened.
"Miss Ann!"
Wang also said eagerly: "Why can't my son be promoted to an official position, he was promoted by his own efforts." β
"Because, I don't like him!" An Ning threatened in a grand manner, "Whose territory is it that is in causation with the military attachΓ©?" I don't think he likes it, then he can only be a soldier in the barracks for the rest of his life. β
"Too much deception!"
"Isn't Miss An afraid that I will report to the Holy Lord?"
An Ning said indifferently: "Go and sue, tell the Holy Lord that you want to send your daughter to the Prime Minister's Mansion as a concubine, and I'm afraid that Lord Xie's officials won't be able to keep it." β
Secretly, few people know about it, but if it makes a big fuss, the saliva of the officials will spray them to death.
So for the sake of their son, how dedicated these old couple are.
"The two of you think clearly, whether to offend the Prime Minister's Mansion or my General's Mansion."
"Miss An, you didn't have anything to do with the little girl in the past, why are you..."
At this time, Xie Jing obviously realized the importance of this matter.
"It's not pleasing to the eye."
Four words, perfunctory.
"You! Peacefulness! Wang's pupils widened, she didn't dare to scold An Ning, she could only point to Xie Nan behind An Ning, "You come over to me, do you know if you are filial?" Since ancient times, it has been the words of the matchmaker of the parents, if you don't go back with us today, we will not have you as a daughter in the future! β
Wang's face was distorted and his teeth were grinning, and he looked at Xie Nan with extremely vicious eyes, and that kind of look wished that she would die immediately.
An Ning turned her head and saw the little girl crying a handful of snot and tears, but there was one thing in her eyes that never moved.
Very good, only then can she help her.
"Mother." Xie Nan stood up from behind An Ning, and she used the word mother to distance herself from Wang.
"I always thought that even if you favored my brother on weekdays, you loved me in the end and were reluctant to give up on me. But today I know that your love is conditional, and once I touch your interests, this love can disappear in the blink of an eye. β
"On weekdays, I am also taught by you that women should not be inferior to themselves and never be concubines. I also keep these teachings in my heart, and I thought you were counting on me to be happy. But my happiness is worthless compared to Xie Cheng. β
"I don't know why this is the way it will be one day, but I would like to say that I won't go back. I have read a lot of books and learned a lot of words since I was a child. The books I have read and the words I have learned do not allow me to despise myself, and I am not allowed to marry someone I don't love. If I go with you, then I don't know who it is for the rest of my life, and it will not be Xie Nan after all. β
Wang listened to her words, and his eyes suddenly reddened.
Yes, she remembered. She taught Xie Nan to behave in the world since she was a child, taught Xie Nan to read, and taught Xie Nan to have self-esteem and self-love.
But she had no choice, so Xie Fu became a lone seedling. If Xie Cheng didn't make a career, then how could she be worthy of the ancestors of the Xie family. Women have been sacrificed for men since ancient times, but she is reluctant, but the world is like this, what can she do?
"Lord Xie, Mrs. Wang." An Ning spoke up at this moment, she called Mrs. Wang, not Mrs. Xie.
"The two of you have to think clearly, whether you want to offend my general's mansion or the prime minister's mansion. If the two of them hadn't brought Xie Nan's marriage letter after noon today, then An Ning would have known the result. β
Another blatant threat!
Xie Jing: "Miss An, if Xie Fu returns the marriage letter, can you take care of Cheng'er's future?" β
"What does it have to do with me?" An Ning looked at Xie Jing coldly, and at this time, he didn't forget to worry about his sister-in-law's future.
"Then if my Xie Mansion withdraws from the Prime Minister's Mansion and blatantly offends the Prime Minister's Mansion, how will Xie Fu deal with himself after that?"
"This is Lord Xie's business."
Xie Jing and his wife's faces were extremely ugly, and it was thankless to withdraw from the marriage, and the same is true for not withdrawing from the marriage. Now no matter which side he refuses, Cheng'er's future is ruined.
"Miss An, Xie Fu can't afford to offend the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Well, it's going to be a starting price.
An Ning looked at the girl behind her, "Do you want me to help them?" β
Xie Nan shook his head, "This matter has nothing to do with Miss An, and Miss An has no obligation to help them." β
When the Xie family and his wife heard this, their faces turned even bluer.
"This afternoon, there was a good show at the gate of the General's Palace. If you want to protect your Xie family, I will come over with the marriage book in the afternoon. Otherwise, Xie Cheng is afraid that he will not be able to enter the officialdom for the rest of his life. β
The Xie family and his wife looked at each other, "What... What, Miss An means? β
An Ning didn't say much.
"With that said, I won't leave the two of you for lunch."
"That's right, Madame Wang. You are a woman yourself, so you can naturally feel the difficulties of women. Do you want such misfortune to happen to you? Some things have been tacitly acquiesced for more than a thousand years, and it is not a word that can make you change your mind. I just hope that Mrs. Wang will think more about how much you once had such a daughter for the rest of your life. β
"Sending off guests."
Xie Jing and Wang saw that they couldn't take anyone away, so they took the two family members and turned around and left.
"Miss Ann." After the people left, Xie Nan let go of her sleeves and looked at her pitifully.
An Ning touched her head and said gently, "I'm a little older than you, so call me sister." β
Sister? Xie Nan was stunned.
A tear fell from her eyes, and she hugged her with a crying voice: "Sister An." β
"Huh." An Ning patted her on the back and comforted her, "It's okay, no one can take you away here." β
It took a while for Xie Nan to calm down, "Ann... Sister An, Prime Minister's MansionΒ·Β·Β· I'm afraid Xu Chao will come..."
"It's fine. You Sister An, I can't ask Xu Chao to come over. β
Well? Xie Nan looked at An Ning with a cute face.
"I just asked you about it, do you have the answer in your heart?"
Xie Nan lowered his head in frustration, "Once is not enough to be disappointed, twice is not cold enough, three times is not ruthless enough, what about four times, what about five times?" β
She raised her head suddenly, and the pain in her eyes subsided a little, "Sister An, although I don't have hope for them anymore, I haven't thought about taking revenge on them. But one thing I know, I'm not stupid, Sister An, I know that not only will you be implicated in your taking me in, but also Xie Fu. But it's not my fault, whose fault is bearable. It's not called revenge, it's called a causal cycle. I don't mean to retaliate, but I don't help them either. β
She desperately escaped as she could, and she was not a person who couldn't figure it out. Sister Ann took her in when her life was hanging by a thread, and is still trying her best to protect her. She decided that she would not backstab Sister An for Xie Cheng.
