Quickly travel to save the cannon fodder? No, I will just flip the table

In the end, Qianqian couldn't figure out a solution, but she heard from the system that neither Old Madam Xiao nor Old Master Xiao agreed, although they didn't refuse either, which meant there was still room for maneuver.

However, unexpectedly, while there was no response from this side, Madam Xiao seemed to have grown another mouth.

That evening, Ye Er came back from outside after helping her with some errands and asked curiously, "Miss, are you going to marry the son of the eldest lady's cousin?"

Qianqian didn't bother to sort out the long list of adjectives, and asked in surprise: "Marry? Who?"

Ye Ermu said it again in a daze.

Qianqian held her forehead with her hand: "Where did you hear such nonsense?"

Ye'er blinked her eyes, looking innocent and cute, but the words she said made Qianqian's eyes go dark: "Uncle Li who guards the gate, Grandpa Zhang who raises horses, Aunt Liu who manages the kitchen, Sister Chuncai who sweeps the garden, and Sister Shiliu who lives in the Madam's courtyard, and... they all said so!"

"No, you just went out for a while and you met so many people?"

Qianqian was puzzled, and listening to what these people were saying, wouldn't it spread throughout the prime minister's residence?

"Yes, I just came back from outside and saw Sister Pomegranate talking to people in the front yard. Then when I walked over, they appeared out of nowhere and asked me!"

Wow, the case is solved. Madam Xiao is so cruel. If we didn't agree, she would spread the news. Did I really think I could let her control me?

Qianqian went straight to Old Lady Xiao to complain.

"Grandma, woo woo woo ..."

"Hey, Qianqian, what's going on?"

"Grandma, I wonder if Qianqian has offended my aunt in some way. She was fine when my aunt took me to the autumn banquet a while ago. She even told me that my cousin was in love with Miss Liu Yinyin and asked me to please Miss Liu and say something good for my cousin!"

The old lady narrowed her eyes: "Is that true?"

To be honest, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion are of comparable status, but in terms of power, the Prime Minister's Mansion is more powerful.

Now, the two families were discussing the terms of cooperation and had been deadlocked for a while. At this time, how could a descendant of her Xiao family, especially the eldest grandson, act so humble as to please the Liu family?

Old Mrs. Xiao's face darkened. She thought about having a good talk with Old Mr. Xiao later. The Xiao family's character would not be broken in this way. After all, the family had never backed down on the matter of their own daughter.

But Qianqian continued to complain: "Yes, I happened to pass by the rockery in the backyard that day, and I saw it, I saw it..."

"Well, why don't you say anything, but what's wrong?"

“I didn’t go near this, but I saw Miss Liu stopping my third cousin and trying to pull his clothes!”

Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao's face was obviously unhappy: "How can this be possible? Are you saying that Yuanchang likes Liu Yinyin, but Liu Yinyin has feelings for Yuanchang? What a legitimate daughter of the Liu family!"

Qianqian thought to herself that she had not wronged Liu Yinyin at all, and then continued, "I don't know what Miss Liu was thinking, but later I saw my eldest cousin also passing by, and his face was not good. I was afraid of disturbing them, so I called my third cousin away!"

"Well, you did the right thing. If people saw it, they would think that the Xiao family was going to fight each other for such a woman."

Qianqian was sweating and complained to the system: "What has this old lady been through? I think she has imagined it all. With this eye drop, the charm of the male and female protagonists has dropped significantly!"

The system said helplessly: "Host, I don't know whether the charm of the male and female protagonists has decreased. I only know that you are here to complain. You haven't said the real thing yet. If you don't say it, the rumors will spread outside!"

"Yeah."

Qianqian immediately changed the subject: "Yes, grandma, I felt that scene was weird, so I did it. I didn't tell anyone else about it. Grandma, you are the first one to know about it. Qianqian will not tell anyone else in the future."

She also laid a foreshadowing by the way. After all, big families hate people who gossip everywhere.

"Good, Qianqian has grown up!" The old lady patted her hands and looked at her still tearful eyes: "But what happened today?"

Qianqian pulled her hand back and continued to wipe her tears. She thought her acting skills were really great, but she had just pinched herself and the impact was quite strong, it hurt her so much!

"Grandma, not long ago, Ye'er from Qianqian's yard came back from outside and said that the whole mansion was talking about me marrying my aunt's nephew, and it was Shi Liu from my eldest aunt's yard who was telling everyone.

Grandma, what's going on? Qianqian has never known about this. My parents never mentioned arranging this marriage for Qianqian. I've been living at your grandma's house for so long, and I've never heard of it, let alone seen these people.

Qianqian is innocent, why would her aunt let people spread such rumors?

Without the permission of her parents and the words of a matchmaker, how can Qianqian face people in the future? It would be better for her to go with her parents, wuwuwu..."

After saying this, he lay down on the couch and cried bitterly.

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, her face turned pale. She had no time to comfort Qianqian. She immediately sent the old nanny beside her to find out what was going on.

The old lady looked embarrassed. Why should she check this? It had spread everywhere, how could she not know about it? She had also been accused of doing so.

But seeing the old lady's expression, he couldn't show that he knew a lot, so he pretended to be there and went out to ask people.

Only then did Old Lady Xiao have the patience to coax Lu Qianqian: "Qianqian, don't say angry words, it's nothing. When grandma finds out, she will give you an explanation!"

Qianqian finally stopped crying and sobbed, "Really?"

"Oh, poor little thing, can your grandma really lie to you? Go wash your face, you look like a little cat."

Old Madam Xiao would never mention Madam Xiao's matchmaking at this moment. If it turns out to be true, and the old couple haven't expressed their stance yet, the eldest daughter-in-law dares to do this. It really shows that she doesn't take the family tradition of the Xiao family seriously.

The old nanny came back quickly and confirmed that what Qianqian said was true.

Old Madam Xiao was immediately furious and slammed the table in anger: "What a great lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion, she doesn't even care about the family tradition and reputation of a big family. If she is so impatient, forget it in the future!"

Just as Qianqian said, firstly, without the permission of parents and elders, and secondly, without a matchmaker to discuss the matter, and now the news has gotten out, does this mean that they want Lu Qianqian to be their second mother?

The more Mrs. Xiao thought about it, the angrier she got. Fortunately, Qianqian came out soon. Seeing this, she hurried forward to comfort the old lady, saying, "Oh my God, you have to be strong and don't get sick from anger. You still need someone to protect you."

Looking at her granddaughter's well-behaved and sensible appearance, her eyes were still red, her voice was a little hoarse, and she was concerned about her at the first time, Mrs. Xiao thought of her own daughter again. She was also so well-behaved at times, so why did she become like this later?

At this moment, a strange thought arose in Old Mrs. Xiao's heart. Could it be that it was the same at the beginning, and her daughter was forced to move forward or deceived by someone without her knowing?

Although the matter could not be investigated until now, it did not stop her from taking her anger out on Madam Xiao, and her dissatisfaction with her daughter-in-law increased.
