She couldn't tell him directly that Feng Han was just a fake eunuch.
It would be safest not to tell anyone until the matter is settled on his side.
Su Qiao thought for a moment and said, "In fact, Zhou Tianyou and Xia Xiaodie have already secretly decided to spend their lives together."
"What?"
"Xia Xiaodie? Isn't she already married?"
The Su family was shocked.
Su Qiao said calmly, "Mrs. Zhou didn't like Xia Xiaodie, so she plotted behind her back to get Xia Xiaodie married."
"But Zhou Tianyou has a special affection for Xia Xiaodie. The reason why Zhou Tianyou didn't do well in the exam this time was because he was upset by Xia Xiaodie's marriage to someone else, so he failed the exam."
"On the morning of my trip to the provincial capital, I went to the mountain to collect herbs and saw two people arguing outside the village."
"Is there such a thing?"
Everyone was stunned.
So Zhou Tianyou actually found his way into the village
When they had almost digested it, Su Qiao continued, "Mrs. Zhou sent someone to propose marriage, but I guess Zhou Tianyou doesn't even know about it."
"If he finds out, he will definitely make a scene. If the marriage doesn't go through, we will get into trouble and my reputation will be ruined."
"Qiao'er is right. Since Mr. Zhou and Xia Xiaodie are not in a clear relationship, it's better for us not to get close to them."
In this matter, the old lady rarely stood on Su Qiao's side.
The others were silent, all pondering the news.
Su Qiao looked at the old man and said, "Besides, the reason why Madam Zhou asked her son to marry me was because she saw that our Su family was close to that guy. If it weren't for this, she would never have fallen in love with our Su family."
"Compared with the head of the village, our Su family is not much better. We just have a shop and a scholar, but Mr. Xia is still the head of the village. Why doesn't he agree to let Xia Xiaodie in?"
The old lady understood very well and snorted coldly: "You look down on our country girls."
"Grandma is right. Madam Zhou has very high standards and doesn't look down on country girls. Once our Su family gets closer to the one above, it won't matter. Anything can happen then."
"In the worst case, I will be unable to move around in the Zhou family and have a hard time. In the worst case, I might even die suddenly and have to remarry someone who is a good match and can help Madam Zhou's husband and son's future."
"Sudden... sudden death?"
"No... No way?"
Everyone was frightened.
Su Qiao was very calm: "What's impossible about this?"
"This kind of thing happens a lot in those big families. If you dare to make trouble, they will take the opportunity to deal with you all. The people should not fight against the officials. The elbows will never be able to twist the thighs."
"In order to prevent her son from marrying Xia Xiaodie, Madam Zhou could have conspired to marry Xia Xiaodie to a man whose wife had died. She would definitely do such a thing."
Su Qiao was not exaggerating, but given Mrs. Zhou's personality, the possibility of such a thing happening was very high.
Of course, if Su Qiao married into the family, she would definitely not be the one who suffered in the end.
"Also, sir, our bookstore has just opened, and the one who made the announcement about the printing technology and the dictionary is not allowed to reveal a single word. If we get engaged at this time... and to the county magistrate's family, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion, and then it will be troublesome. You know he has a bad temper."
"Don't mention this again."
The old man was already afraid of Feng Han, and now he finally understood what was going on.
In any case, my granddaughter cannot get engaged or married at this time.
