Yuxi blurted out stubbornly, although her voice was small, but her tone was very firm. At least it was a cry from her heart.

She just sat there, silently thinking about her thoughts. I don't know how long it took, but the sunlight outside pulled a long reflection in the shade of the trees.

The nurse walked into the room and saw that Yuxi had left the window and was leaning on the embroidered pillow with her eyes squinting to rest, so she asked in a low voice: "Yuxi, it's time to eat, aren't you going to eat in the front hall?"

Yuxi was a little confused, but she still heard the voice of the nurse clearly, so she muttered in a low voice: "Nurse, I'm not hungry now, you can eat first." ”

When the nurse saw Yuxi say that she didn't want to eat, she thought that she was probably in a bad mood, but people were iron rice and steel, so she asked in a low voice: "Then do you want to leave you some food?"

Yuxi turned to the side and whispered, "Whatever, anyway, I'm not hungry right now, I don't want to eat." ”

The nurse said "um", flashed out of the room, turned around and gently closed the door, and left Yuxi's room.

At the dinner table, Murong Xiu held chopsticks and held the vegetables on the plate, she turned her head sideways and whispered to her father who was eating with his head down: "Daddy, did you see Yuxi's appearance today? ”

Murong Zhongyong stared at Murong Xiu's angry face: "Xiuxiu, do you have an opinion about Yuxi? She is your own sister." ”

Murong Xiu saw that her father was going to block her words, and she was a little unwilling: "Then she shouldn't be like that! Crying in front of the public, what is this? Isn't she reluctant to let Ruiqi go? Aren't you afraid that others will laugh at our family?"

Murong Zhongyong impatiently "hmm": "Don't talk about this, I know everything!"

Murong Xiu found that her father did not express his dissatisfaction with Yuxi in front of everyone as expected, which made her a little unconvinced.

Murong Xiu continued to nag: "Then you can't see it? What are she and Ruiqi? Daddy, don't you think it's strange?"

Murong Zhongyong put down his chopsticks heavily, looked at Murong Xiu and said, "Then what do you say?

After speaking, Murong Zhongyong stood up and was about to leave the table.

When Murong Xiu saw her father say something about her and Ruilin, she suddenly felt as if she had seen a glimmer of hope, and her words were also stabbed at the point: "Daddy, then do you say that Ruiqi and I have simply decided up?"

Murong Zhongyong stared at Murong Xiu's eyes and said categorically: "I said no! A marriage contract is a marriage contract, you can't just mess around!"

The light of hope that had just ignited in Murong Xiu's eyes suddenly went out in an instant as if it had been poured with a scoop of ice water, and the chopsticks in her hand were put down weakly: "Isn't this unclear?

Murong Zhongyong snorted coldly in his nose: "I really don't know how to lift, I spent so much effort to cultivate you in vain!"

After speaking, Murong Zhongyong turned around and left the dining table and walked towards the study.

Murong Xiu's face turned pale, she didn't expect her father, who had always defended her, to say such heavy words, she couldn't accept it. Such a simple thing, can't her father, who has always loved her, understand?

Murong Xiu was puzzled, she couldn't figure out her father's thoughts, didn't her father really understand? He also saw Yuxi's appearance, didn't he understand that Yuxi liked Ruiqi? And Ruiqi also cared about Yuxi.

On the contrary, her justified fiancée became a bystander, a woman who was snubbed by her fiancé.

Murong Xiu was puffed up, she really couldn't eat this meal, at this time, the delicious food in her mouth usually tasted the same as chewing wax, she slapped the chopsticks on the table with a "snap", stood up and walked out.

A few people next to him looked at the father and daughter who left the table one after the other, shaking their heads helplessly and continuing to eat the rice in the bowl, and everyone bowed their heads and said nothing.

In fact, such a situation is not common in ordinary times, although the father has an inviolable majesty in front of all his children, but it is the first time that he has seen his father angry with Murong Xiu like this just now.

They didn't dare to talk about this matter too much, after all, they were worried that the gossip would reach Murong Zhongyong's ears, and at that time, everyone might not be able to eat and walk around.

Murong Zhongyong didn't expect Murong Xiu to mention this matter at this moment, first, now is not the time, and second, she pushed Yuxi in front as a shield, Murong Zhongyong felt that Murong Xiu had lost her demeanor as a sister, after all, Yuxi was still her own sister.

Although in this matter, it was Yuxi who fell in love with Riich, but Ruiqi should bear a lot of responsibility, he is a man, he should dare to act, as Murong Xiu's fiancé, he should not snub Murong Xiu, but pursue Yuxi upside down. Even if Riich really likes Yuxi, then he should bring it up openly.

However, Murong Xiu unexpectedly warmed up with Ruilin, and Murong Zhongyong felt very speechless about this.

In this way, there is no way to say who is right and who is wrong. It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and he feels that he can't even make a decision about his children's affairs now.

Murong Xiu's thoughts as a father are not incomprehensible, but he can't respond to Xiuxiu's request head-on, let alone investigate who is right and who is wrong.

Murong Zhongyong kept shaking his head and sighing along the way, and walked towards the study with a smoke. Although he can be rampant and invincible on the battlefield, he seems a little helpless in the face of this inseparable love of children.

After the father and son left, General Huyan's wife took care of the housework at home. Ruilin helps his mother take care of the affairs of the house.

As soon as his father and brother left, Ruilin seemed to grow up a lot overnight. Usually relying on his father and brother, he doesn't have to worry about all trivial matters. Now Ruilin has become the only man in the family who can rely on him, and naturally many affairs need him to take care of it with great effort, so as to make a claim for the family.

General Huyan's wife intends to cultivate Ruilin's ability to run the house, and she only instructs her on many things, but all matters big and small must be handled by Ruilin himself.

After Ruilin became the master, those trivial affairs trained his ability to do things, and after a period of time, Ruilin also appeared to be much more mature and stable.

Indeed, if a man wants to become mature and stable, he must be tempered by being the master of the house, otherwise the young childishness in his body will never be worn out by life.

One day Riich came to his mother's room, and he wanted to ask for instructions on how to collect the tenants' land gifts this fall. Seeing that it is about to be the season to collect the land endowment, there is a lot of good land in the family, and of course there are many tenants who rent these lands, and this year's crops in the fields are growing well, and Ruilin plans to ask his mother carefully about what he means.
