Upon hearing that, Zhen Muyao's eyes suddenly lit up, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she nodded almost imperceptibly. This was the first time that someone had clearly expressed their willingness to help her deal with someone, and the other person was nominally an elder. If it were someone else, they would probably just advise her to be patient. So, she really did not misjudge the person. Now she was really happy.
Xiaocao couldn't help but smile. Even though she was going to get married, she was still a little girl. She was so easy to coax.
Afterwards, Zhen Muyao's aunt found that no matter what she said, Zhen Muyao did not get as furious as she had expected. In fact, even his initial anger was gone, and he ignored her completely, as if he had punched cotton. Instead of feeling proud, she was extremely angry.
Zhen Muyao is not someone who can endure, but he endured it now. Did he take the wrong medicine? The middle-aged woman couldn't help but look at Xiaocao. Where did this person come from? Why did he have such a big impact on Zhen Muyao
"Muyao, your elders are talking to you and you have this attitude. Where is your upbringing?" The middle-aged woman held back her anger. It was obvious that she didn't want to let Zhen Muyao go just like that. This was a rare opportunity.
Zhen Muyao smiled and said, "If a daughter is not well-educated, it is the mother's fault. If my aunt thinks that I am ill-educated, please go find my mother."
The lady's lips curved into a straight line. If she had the guts, would she still bother with a junior here
Zhen Muyao sneered, "Aunt, my mother will teach me what to do, so you don't have to worry about it. If you think my mother's teaching is not good or wrong, you can go and teach her how to raise children."
The woman left angrily, and she would never do such a stupid thing again.
When the banquet started at noon, no one came to Zhen Muyao's place anymore. Even those who wanted to accompany Zhen Muyao were driven away by her. She only had one Sister Xuan, so why did she need anyone else!
Zhen Muyao was exhausted from sitting like this for a long time, so he pulled Xiaocao to sit next to him without any care, and then leaned on Xiaocao softly as if he had no bones.
The bridesmaid kept saying "no, no", and then she asked Zhen Muyao to ask the maid to leave. It was just a wedding, why was there such a taboo? As long as the whole ceremony was done right, it would be fine. If the other minor details were not followed, she didn't believe that they would really affect her future life. If so, wouldn't those people who came before the rules be unlucky from beginning to end? Zhen Muyao never believed in these things.
If it wasn't because today was her good day, if she didn't follow the rules, she would be caught and lectured, and there would be endless trouble in the future. In fact, she wanted to pack her bags and go directly to the Jian family, and then be intimate with her Jian Shu. How great it would be. But she had to make things so complicated, wasting time.
Zhen Muyao couldn't help but complain to Xiaocao.
"The ceremony is actually to show the solemnity of the marriage between the two families. It is also the blessing of the world to you. A lifetime is so long, and the marriage only lasts one day, so Muyao, be good and bear with it."
Zhen Muyao looked at Xiaocao with an expression that he couldn't bear to look at, "Sister Xuan, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
"How can he be three years old? He must be at least five or six years old." Xiaocao smiled.
Zhen Muyao wanted to cover her face, "I just realized today that Sister Xuan, you can be so mean."
Xiao Cao blinked innocently, "I'm just telling the truth, what's wrong with it?"
Zhen Muyao groaned for a moment, turned around silently, sat upright, and continued speaking. She felt that she might also be defeated. Forget it, she couldn't afford to provoke him. It was just like pretending to be a wooden stake. It was no big deal.
Xiaocao was a little confused. What was going on
"Sister Xuan, let me tell you, there are some things I just don't want to do. If I wanted to do them, would this be enough to stump me? Remember back then, my mother punished me by making me face the wall and reflect on my mistakes. That was a real wooden stake, it would stab me wherever I moved. Do you know how long I stood for the longest time? Four hours without even a weak leg." Zhen Muyao looked proud.
Xiaocao was really surprised. "Standing at a wooden stake" was definitely not as strict as the military posture in her previous life, but standing still for eight hours, was this something that an average person could do
"You've been holding on for so long, are you being stubborn with your mother?"
The pride on Zhen Muyao's face suddenly disappeared, and he nodded, "I'm almost turned into a wooden stick after I finished standing up, but my mother still acted the same way. Not to mention feeling sorry for me, she didn't even frown."
Xiao Cao couldn't help laughing again, "So you just asked for trouble in vain."
"Alas, I was too ignorant when I was young. I was so stupid and foolish." Zhen Muyao sighed with emotion.
"Then you won't use this method anymore and will start to go against your mother directly?"
Zhen Muyao complained, "Can that be called right? That's reasoning with her, my mother likes reasoning. - Don't laugh, if you dare to laugh, I will take off my wedding dress, put it on you, and let you get on the sedan chair, do you believe it?"
Xiao Cao tried to hold back her words, but she couldn't hold them back any longer. "You're willing to give me your precious child?"
"Oh, there's nothing to be reluctant about. We are good sisters. We can share happiness and hardships, and we can even share a husband." Zhen Muyao waved her hand generously.
This time the maids covered their faces directly. Who was that girl who could turn other women into pigs just by touching their son-in-law's fingers? Who was she
Xiao Cao looked wooden and said, "Thank you very much. I can share anything except this."
Zhen Muyao looked at Xiaocao with bright eyes, "Sister Xuan, I seem to have discovered something incredible."
Xiaocao smiled and said nothing.
Zhen Muyao grabbed Xiaocao's hand and said, "Sister Xuan, I really had good eyesight and did not make a mistake in choosing him. Now that this man has become your husband, he is naturally yours. Anyone else who dares to get involved will be beaten to death." He was extremely domineering.
So, as expected, this is the real Zhen Muyao.
"Who do you want to beat to death? I think you deserve a lesson today." Madam Zhen came in, followed by a maid carrying food.
The domineering Miss Zhen immediately became timid, "Mom, you are so busy today, why did you come here in person?"
"If I don't come here in person, won't I miss my daughter's heroic words?"
"Mom, you heard me wrong. How can you kill someone so easily? That's absolutely impossible. You didn't teach me that. I've always taken you as my role model. How could I do something so shameful? Right?"
This desire to survive is extremely strong.
No matter how fiercely Zhen Muyao jumped in front of her mother, in Xiaocao's eyes, they were just Monkey King and Buddha.
Madam Zhen had a blank expression on her face and didn't take her seriously at all. She asked the maid to set up the table and put the food on the table.
"I was just hungry, and I knew you were the best."
"Don't think too much. It's not for you. - Sister Xuan must be hungry too. Come and eat something." After saying this, Mrs. Zhen became very gentle to Xiaocao.
Such unequal treatment... As expected, the girl that the Wen family lost should be her. It was Madam Zhen who exchanged her own daughter for a child who was not her own to "torture in various ways". Unfortunately, she had no evidence!
"Mom, there's really no portion for me?" Zhen Muyao had been hungry for a long time, but what was served in the end was only a set of bowls and chopsticks.
"Don't you know that the bride has no food to eat?" Mrs. Zhen glanced at her indifferently.
"What a crappy rule! You said yourself that when you got married, you ate and drank as you pleased, but you never followed these rules. Why should I follow them now?" Zhen Muyao was very indignant.
"I don't want to give you food. You've emptied my family's savings. What's wrong with starving you for a meal?"
This reason was very good and powerful. Zhen Muyao was speechless. Then Zhen Muyao looked at Xiaocao pitifully.
But Xiao Cao didn't feel sorry for her. She even wanted to laugh. She didn't hesitate to serve the rice and some dishes. Then she walked over to Zhen Muyao and started to feed her. Zhen Muyao smiled happily, "Sister Xuan, I knew it. You are the best to me. Ah—"
Then... Xiaocao turned the chopsticks and quickly stuffed them into his mouth.
The smile on Zhen Muyao's face disappeared, and she was about to cry, "Poor little thing, no one loves you..."
Xiao Cao stuffed the food into her mouth and was overjoyed. So it was really too boring, and everyone was acting like a drama queen.
"Sister Xuan, don't worry about her. Let her eat by herself. You come and eat."
So, the other set of bowls and chopsticks was also taken out. Zhen Muyao curled her lips. Her mother always acted like the real thing, but in the end it was always fake. Sometimes when something looked extremely fake, it might actually be real.
Zhen Muyao didn't care about anything else at this moment. He just stood up and sat down to eat with Xiaocao.
Madam Zhen did not leave, but sat beside them, watching them eat quietly. Both of them had good appetites, and when they got together, the food prepared by Madam Zhen was really delicious, so no one was polite.
Xiaocao looked up inadvertently and found that Madam Zhen's eyes fell on Zhen Muyao. Although her face was calm, Xiaocao seemed to be able to feel her sadness. She turned around and glanced at Zhen Muyao. If Madam Zhen wanted to teach her daughter to be a noble lady and a model of a lady, it would be very easy. On the contrary, with Muyao's temperament, it would be really difficult. She had spent more effort on Muyao than anyone else. Now she was about to get married and become a member of someone else's family. He was the person she held in her hands like a treasure, but now he had to serve others and be restricted by others. How could she really be indifferent
It's just that she is not a person who shows her emotions, so people may feel that she doesn't care and even wants to send the person away quickly.
And is Zhen Muyao really heartless
As time passed, the house gradually became lively again, with people of all ages, even filled with children's laughter.
"The wedding procession has arrived—"
Following the voice, many people walked outside, wanting to witness the groom's elegance.
Making things difficult for the groom can be a common topic anywhere.
Xiaocao discovered that Miss Zhen Liu, who had been laughing and joking all the time, became nervous at this moment. It turned out that she still needed to be shameless enough.
At the beginning, five poems were sent in to urge the bride to get ready. Four of them were normal, but one of them was so corny that Xiaocao almost got goose bumps. It was said to be written by the groom. Xiaocao couldn't believe it. Where was the shy and timid one? Such a bold and corny confession at the wedding
Yes, it is true love. After all, the few times that Jianshu went crazy were all for Zhen Muyao. Getting married is such an important matter, so it is natural that he cannot miss another crazy time.
Even though Jian Shu was criticized for being useless, he was still quite talented and had plenty of people to help him get married, so they soon arrived outside Zhen Muyao's courtyard.
Xiao Cao suddenly turned her head to look at Zhen Muyao, "Muyao, I'm going to go out and take a look."
Zhen Muyao's eyes flashed with surprise, "Sister Xuan, are you going to embarrass Jian Shu?"
"Do you feel bad?"
"I don't feel sorry." Because Sister Xuan, you feel sorry for me, and you are such a soft-hearted person, how could you really make things difficult for Jian Shu.
Xiaocao went out with a smile. The wedding party had already rushed in in a mighty manner. The people originally guarding the gate were all Zhen Muyao's sisters. Because they had a bad relationship with Zhen Muyao, they guarded the gate not only to embarrass Jianshu, but also to gain benefits for themselves.
Jian Shu knew Zhen Muyao's situation in the Zhen family very well, so he just used big red seals to "break down the door" one by one, and it was extremely easy to get in. Originally, it should have been the last level, but when he was going up the stairs under the corridor, he met Xiao Cao.
She was alone, standing quietly.
Although Jianshu had only met Xiaocao once, he was deeply impressed. He knew that her relationship with his own Yaoyao was particularly special. He stopped and bowed, even more solemnly than before.
This was not an expected roadblock, and the atmosphere seemed a little different. Almost everyone in the yard fell silent.
Jianshu became nervous unconsciously when Xiaocao was looking at him. Although he was shy by nature, he was particularly excited today. It seemed that his shyness had disappeared. Even when being teased, he still couldn't help blushing, but he was not nervous at all. He just didn't know why the pressure was doubled now.
It seemed as if this was his final test. Only if he passed it could he marry the woman he loved, or in other words, only if he passed it could he get the recognition and blessing of Yaoyao's only close friend.
I don’t know if it was because Xiaocao didn’t speak for a long time, or if Jianshu’s mood affected others, but everyone became nervous unconsciously.
However, some of the elders in the room couldn't help but frown, "What is this girl trying to do?"
Only Madam Zhen, who was sitting at the top, waiting for her daughter to say goodbye, was as calm as before, "Maybe it's just to help Mu Yao block the door. It won't matter if it takes a while. Just wait." In fact, she was also looking forward to what Xiaocao would do. After all, this child would not do anything to embarrass others. Since such a sudden move happened, it must be for Mu Yao.
It's very simple, without any other messy thoughts.
In the tense atmosphere, Xiao Cao finally spoke, "Jianshu."
"Yes." Jian Shu responded immediately, perhaps because he was too nervous, he sounded a little respectful.
