Quickly travel to save the cannon fodder? No, I will just flip the table
Chapter 26 Jealousy will not disappear, but it will shift
Seeing that Qianqian still didn't reply, Xiao Yuanhuai was not as pessimistic as last time. As long as one lives, one must fight for the person one loves.
He thought about it and added a trick to himself: "Qianqian, in fact, you are not the only one who has this problem. I have been traveling a lot recently, and I have heard that many people have come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inquire about me."
"Really? I haven't heard about it?" Qianqian was confused, but at his age and with all the attention recently, it was normal for him to be asked about him.
Xiao Yuanhuai choked. This was half true and half false. It was true that someone liked him, but there was no need to inquire about him. After all, he was a concubine's son and had no official title. Anyone with eyes could see that the prime minister's wife didn't like him either.
Therefore, those from high-ranking families are still waiting and watching, and although Madam Xiao is not interested, Prime Minister Xiao has other thoughts. It is just as Xiao Yuanhuai said before, he is waiting for the right price.
People of low status would never dare to come to the house. Marriage does not mean enmity. Don’t you see that the eldest son of the prime minister’s mansion is now having a hot affair with the daughter of Duke Liu, while the third son suddenly appeared out of nowhere and still has no marriage partner.
It's not their fault for thinking too much. After all, they are not well-informed and don't know that there is a confused mistress in the backyard of the wealthy family.
So overall, he is still safe now.
He would continue to bite the bullet and say, "Yes, I guess it hasn't spread, but I'm just afraid it will be confirmed one day."
"So third cousin is unwilling?" Qianqian thought, if the Prime Minister's Mansion had to make a choice, then the other party's conditions must be better than mine.
Because of her own parents' affairs, Qianqian actually has a rebellious nature, which is that she doesn't want to share her lover with others, from the beginning to the end.
She thought realistically that marrying a good wife would be the help Xiao Yuanhuai needed now. Even though he had said many times recently that he liked her, the word "like" was so simple. He might like someone else tomorrow.
Her feelings towards Xiao Yuanhuai were only superficial, and after getting to know him, she felt that he was a nice person. In addition, as they were both cannon fodders, they felt a sense of sympathy for each other, so it was impossible for her to say that she had to be with him.
Besides, she would leave eventually, and sooner or later, so being too serious at this moment would be a bad idea.
Xiao Yuanhuai has already answered: "It's not like we can just do it. Our marriage is ultimately in the hands of others, and Madam Xiao's malicious intent is so obvious. Instead of waiting for death, why not gather together for warmth.
Qianqian, why don't you treat this as mutual cooperation and deal with the current dilemma before talking about other things?"
This set of words was obviously more acceptable to her, but Qianqian still frowned slightly: "Third cousin, I need to think about it carefully and give you an answer later!"
"Okay!" Xiao Yuanhuai stopped persuading. With his own layout, his ideas for the future became clearer and clearer, and his state of mind also became a little different. If he couldn't go straight, he could also move forward by turning a corner.
After Xiao Yuanhuai left, Qianqian continued to talk to the system: "System, what do you think?"
The system's position was firm: "Host, choose him, choose him. After all, you have thought it through. After you die, you will give most of your property to others, and you will also ask them to take care of the people around you. Isn't this a perfect opportunity? It will be legitimate in the future. Oh my God, this is a beautiful two-way rush!"
Qianqian listened to the high-pitched voice of the system and couldn't help but frown: "You've imagined it, haven't you heard them say that we should cooperate with each other? This is normal, okay!"
"Hey, host, don't say you weren't secretly happy when someone confessed to you in front of you. You weren't moved when someone proposed to you just now!"
What nonsense? Qianqian rolled her eyes and said, "I'm just a normal girl. I've never been in love before. How can I keep my heart calm when such a beautiful woman says such things? I'm not dead."
"Yeah, that's right, host, everything you said is right. Anyway, you have no better choice than him now. And given the situation, it's a match made in heaven!"
Qianqian still felt that it was a bit inappropriate: "Let's wait and see. Madam Xiao has done this. I think it will be safe for a short time!"
So Qianqian still planned to delay it.
Fortunately, after being scolded, Madam Xiao did not dare to ask her for help again for a while. After Old Lady Xiao was done with this, she turned around and told Old Master Xiao about it.
When the old man heard that Qianqian was being remembered by Madam Xiao, he showed no expression. What he said was true. Qianqian's conditions were not good enough for her to marry into a wealthy family.
When he heard his eldest daughter-in-law spreading rumors, he simply rebuked her and said "ridiculous and nonsense" and let it go. His wife would handle the matters in the inner house, and there would be no problem as long as they were not spread outside. He still trusted his wife on this point.
But when they heard about Liu Yinyin and Xiao Yuanchang, just as Old Lady Xiao had expected, Old Master Xiao's face turned pale. He thought of what his eldest son had said some time ago, that Duke Liu said that if Xiao Yuanhuai could obtain the title of top scholar one day, that would be fine!
Originally, he thought that the other party was just talking, but he didn't expect that when the Prime Minister's Mansion held a banquet, Liu Yinyin did such a thing. It showed that she didn't take his Prime Minister's Mansion seriously. Even so, Xiao Yuanchang actually asked his cousin to please them.
He has really lost all his face. It seems that this eldest grandson has not only stagnated in his studies, but has also learned to be petty like his mother in doing things.
He was so angry just thinking about it that he called Xiao Xiang over and gave him a scolding, telling him to go back and discipline his son well and not to bring shame to the Xiao family's reputation.
Before Prime Minister Xiao came, he thought that it was Madam Xiao who did that, and he was a little disapproving. He thought that she was just an outsider, and his father could only look at his mother's thoughts and say a few words. He didn't expect this to happen.
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Xiao was also furious. Although he had urged his son to fight and snatch Liu Yinyin, how could he let anyone choose her right under his nose? Even so, afterwards, Xiao Yuanchang pretended that nothing had happened and was still so close to the girl from the Liu family.
He thought his son had captured Liu Yinyin again, but he didn't expect him to be so humble. It seemed that Duke Liu must have known about it a long time ago. No wonder he has been making trouble recently and there has been no progress in the cooperation.
Xiao Yuanchang is really his good son, but he is more likely to cause trouble than to help. And his wife is just making things worse. She even has the confidence to cause trouble in front of his father and mother. She is such an ignorant woman.
So Xiao Xiang ignored the discomfort he felt after hearing what the old man said and went back to discipline his wife and teach his son.
The system naturally reported what was happening here to Qianqian in real time. Qianqian was happy and didn't care about the reasons. She was happy that the mother and son were in trouble.
Moreover, in the original plot line, the Prime Minister's Mansion was so united. When the original owner was treated so badly, no one spoke up. But now it's so good. There is nothing yet. It's so exciting. Go ahead and make some noise. It's better not to spare time to scheme against others.
However, Mrs. Xiao didn't expect that after being scolded by both sides, she couldn't touch Qianqian for a while, and had to appease her cousin. The most important thing was that she even implicated her beloved son.
I couldn't let go of the anger in my heart, and for a moment I thought of Xiao Yuanhuai again.
Why is it that when everything is going wrong for mother and son, this bastard has stood up? It's all his fault that he didn't recognize his own identity. Why didn't he just hide in his own yard? Why did he have to step on Xiao Yuanchang to get ahead?
Madam Xiao felt that she had been too kind to the people in the backyard in the past. After all, she was Xiao Yuanhuai's biological mother. If she really wanted to control them, she could just use the law of filial piety to suppress them. Couldn't she control them?
