As soon as these words came out, Xie Ruyun's heart suddenly clenched. She didn't expect that Mrs. Xu really wanted to marry her as her daughter-in-law. However, she was afraid that such a kind mother-in-law would never be with her again in this life.
Xie Ruzhuo watched silently from the side. She wanted to speak for the Xu family, but she had to see the other party's determination first. Although Xie Ruyun was a concubine, she knew from these days of contact that the latter had an excellent temperament. Such a woman will always swallow her own pain. If the other party cannot treat her sincerely, then after marrying her, she will probably end up like the previous life!
Xie Ruzhuo didn't want the tragedy of his previous life to repeat itself to Xie Ruyun in this life, so he just kept silent and waited to see what would happen.
Hearing Ji's words, Mrs. Xu only smiled slightly and said, "Old madam, there are some things that you can't say at first, but if you want something, you will do it even if you know you don't."
As she said that, Mrs. Xu walked up to Xie Ruyun, and when the latter looked at her with astonishment, she took her hand and said sincerely, "I have liked Ruyun very much since I saw her. I did like it before." We adhered to the engagement and didn’t think too much about it. But comparing the two, it is still inevitable to regret. Now that Miss Xie San insists on breaking off the engagement, I have nothing to say. However, I sincerely hope that such a good girl can be a part of my family. My daughter-in-law’s.”
Hearing this, before Ji could speak, she heard Xie Ruzhuo sneer and say, "Mrs. Xu's words are really weird. If all the good girls in the world want to become your daughter-in-law, won't my eldest sister's life be miserable? "
Hearing Xie Ruzhuo speak, Mrs. Xu glanced at her in surprise and saw that she was a young girl with lively features. She immediately laughed and said, "Miss Xie's words are wrong. There are indeed many good girls in the world, but the one that caught my eye is... But there is only this one in front of me. Moreover, my useless son also made a wish to me last night. If he can marry the eldest daughter of the Xie family, he will never marry anyone else in his life. He only wishes to live with Miss Xie for the rest of his life. Keep it for life."
Xie Ruyun suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Mrs. Xu in disbelief. She didn't expect that this honest and honest man, who had only met her once, could actually say such a thing!
It was only a long time later that she found out that when she was in Xie's Mansion, Xu Wenyuan secretly left and returned in order to meet Xie Ruyun secretly, hiding behind the screen, silently watching Xie Ruyun's every move, and falling in love with her uncontrollably. Got her!
Xie Ruzhuo was also surprised. She didn't expect that the Xu family was so sincere! However, there are some things that she still needs to ask clearly, "Excuse Zhuo'er for saying something disrespectful, what if my eldest sister has nothing to do in this life?" Just like Mrs. Xu, because she has nothing to do, Xu Daotai He just married seven concubines, and Xu Wenyuan's biological mother was the seventh concubine.
These words obviously touched Mrs. Xu's heart. But this was not the time for her to be sad. She just smiled softly, covering up the sadness in her eyes, and said, "I also asked Yuan'er about this, and his answer at the time was-"
"If she has nothing to do, then I will be ashamed of all the ancestors of the Xu family!"
Suddenly, a man's voice was heard outside the door. Everyone followed the sound and saw Xu Wenyuan wearing a long gown and pushing open the door. After saying this, he knelt down in front of Mr. Ji, kowtowed, and said, "Xu Wenyuan wishes to pay his respects to Mrs. Xie. Today, Wenyuan dares to ask for an extravagant wish, hoping that Mrs. Wen Yuan and Xie can be together." Miss. I swear that I will love and protect her throughout my life. If there is even the slightest hint of betrayal, heaven and earth will not tolerate her!"
As soon as these words came out, Ji was also a little shocked. Such a scene has never been familiar! When Xie Shengli left the Xie family, he was penniless, but her Ji family was a popular family at that time! At that time, Xie Shengli also said something like this, which moved her so much that she was still waiting for marriage.
At that time, everyone thought these words were just empty words, but who would have thought that Xie Shengli actually did it. Later, when he was the emperor's master and at the height of his power, he remained steadfast and never thought of taking a concubine.
Xie Shengli's henpeck was once made a laughing stock by the courtiers, and she could not sleep at night because of it and persuaded her husband to take concubines. The answer that can be obtained is only one sentence, "A true man must do what he says. First, he cannot betray the emperor, emperor, and queen, secondly, he cannot betray the king, and thirdly, he cannot betray his married wife."
In a flash, these years have passed, and he has walked through life hand in hand with him unknowingly. From his youth to his gray hair, he actually kept this promise for the rest of his life!
Now, when she saw Xu Wenyuan looking like this, she suddenly thought of Xie Shengli.
Ji's eyes were slightly moist. After half a day, she finally asked, "If I really promise Ruyun to you, can you really keep your promise for the rest of your life?"
"Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow."
Seeing Xu Wenyuan's firm eyes, Mrs. Ji relaxed her expression, turned to look at Ms. Li, and said, "Second daughter-in-law, you are Ruyun's aunt, what do you think about this?"
Mrs. Li had been moved by Xu Wenyuan for a long time. She made some calculations in her mind and realized that the Xu family was a good backer and was close to the south. If they could get married, it would also be beneficial to the master's activities in the south.
After these thoughts went through her mind, she wiped her wet eyes and said with a smile, "I think this child is quite good. If Ruyun agrees, I have no objection."
Hearing this, Ji turned his attention to Xie Ruyun.
Seeing everyone in the room looking at her expectantly, Xie Ruyun immediately blushed with embarrassment, but she did not avoid Xu Wenyuan's gaze. She walked to the center, knelt down with Xu Wenyuan, and raised her head firmly. , said, "Please grandma make it happen."
After all, she is also a daughter's family, and she has the charming thoughts of a daughter. Such a scenario was something she had never dared to imagine in her life. Now that it had become a reality, how could she not cry with joy. But she understood better that after she got married, she and her husband would have to shoulder the wind and rain together, so today's kneeling was also her promise. Since then, she has shared the ups and downs with those around her.
Seeing this, Ji sighed and said with a smile, "It's true that the girl is not allowed to stay in college, that's all. I'm old and can't take care of so many things. Since you are all willing, the old woman can't break up the marriage. Mrs. Li, you are her aunt, so you should discuss this engagement with the eldest daughter-in-law. The engagement of our Xie family's daughter must not be careless."
This already means agreement.
Mrs. Xu's face was filled with joy and she smiled repeatedly, "Thank you, madam, for making it happen."
The two people kneeling on the ground, their faces covered with tears, looked at each other speechless and choked.
Ji looked at Xu Wenyuan and said, "There's just one thing. If you treat Ruyun badly in the future, I will definitely not spare you."
"Don't worry, old lady, Wenyuan will live up to her in this life!" Xu Wenyuan said firmly, wishing he could rip out his heart on the spot to prove it to everyone.
Xie Ruzhuo smiled and said, "I still call you Madam. This is my first mistake!" As she said this, she stepped forward to help Xie Ruyun up and winked.
Xie Ruyun glanced at Xie Ruzhuo angrily and immediately blushed. Xu Wenyuan on the side shook his head like a dazed man, then kowtowed heavily and shouted respectfully, "Grandma!"
"Hey, good boy." Mrs. Ji was so amused by him that she smiled and said, "Okay, after all this work, I haven't even had a bite of food. You go out and discuss it slowly, don't disturb me. The old woman has eaten."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately let go of Xie Ruyun's hand, walked to Ji's side and helped her stand up, smiling and saying, "Grandma, I know you can make Sanqing Jiuhua cake here, don't even think about asking me to leave!"
As soon as she said these words, Mr. Ji immediately nodded her forehead and said with a smile, "You are such a greedy cat, you can't hide anything delicious from your eyes and ears!"
Seeing everyone smiling and bowing before leaving, Xie Ruzhuo slowly supported Ji and walked towards the dining room. She knew that Mrs. Ji was actually in a dilemma. If Xie Ruyun was fulfilled today, she might not know how many times the third wife would have to talk about it in the future. Although this old lady has experienced many ups and downs in her life, not many of her younger generation truly care for her. And I only learned about filial piety after being reborn.
She felt guilty towards Ji, and she didn't know how much time she could spend with her, so she could only spend time with her when she had time.
Although Mrs. Ji looked like she disliked her on the face, she knew in her heart that her granddaughter was filial. She was moved and loved her even more.
Xu Wenyuan got Ji's approval, and although he could meet Xie Ruyun openly and openly, he felt that it was too rude and intrusive to Xie Ruyun. Whenever he met, he had to be in the courtyard with a maid by his side to show his gentlemanly behavior. Xie Ruyun was grateful for how much he treated her, so while the Xu family was still in the capital, she went to the embroidery room to get some silk thread, hoping to embroider a token of love with her own hands.
Unfortunately, her move was discovered by Xie Ruzhuo. Xie Ruzhuo laughed at her for a long time, and then came up with the idea of imitating Yuanyang, which made Xie Ruyun dumbfounded.
It was not long before the Xu family came out this time. After Mrs. Xu explained the situation to Mrs. Qiao and Mr. Li, she went to check their horoscopes in person and found that they were a match made in heaven. She immediately came back overjoyed, and after discussing with Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Li, they set a date for the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month to decide in person.
Mrs. Li deliberately wanted to promote Xie Ruyun, Mrs. Qiao liked her niece very much, and the gifts and other gifts prepared by the Xu family were all valuable, so this engagement was extremely grand and lively.
However, this joyful scene made the third room owner Lu very angry.
"Rulan, you must always remember this day. Today, you were divorced, and a concubine from the same family stepped on your shoulders and married you!" Mrs. Lu pinched her face with a ferocious expression. Xie Rulan said in a hateful voice on his shoulder.
She really couldn't swallow this breath. These should obviously belong to her daughter, but Xie Ruyun's little hooves took advantage of them! Why!
However, Mrs. Lu did not reflect at all. If they had not deliberately planned to destroy it first, how could this marriage be abandoned so easily
Xie Rulan was much more indifferent. She didn't have a good impression of Xu Wenyuan in the first place. With that look, he was not born into a person who can do great things!
She shook her shoulders slightly, got rid of Lu's restraint, and then said, "Mom, it's useless to say anything now. For me, there is a more important thing to do right now!"
"What happened?" Seeing her being so calm, Mrs. Lu was a little surprised. However, she also knew that her daughter was very attentive, so she immediately asked, "Daughter, is there anything that my mother can help you with?"
"No need, I have to do this myself." After saying this, Xie Rulan slowly smiled with satisfaction, "Because I want the second prince to fall in love with me!"
"What?" Mrs. Lu knew that she was high-minded, but when she heard these words, she couldn't help but said in surprise, "But hasn't the second prince always liked Xie Ruzhuo? Can you win him over?"
