Quickly travel to save the cannon fodder? No, I will just flip the table
Chapter 28 Finally got a pair
When Xiao Yuanhuai was found, he was just about to go out.
I thought it was an answer to myself, but I didn't want to hear this.
To be honest, Xiao Yuanhuai was unfamiliar with the eldest princess in both of his previous lives, but in this life he had heard a little about her when he traveled outside. At that time, he only felt that she was very far away, but he did not expect that she was right in front of him.
"Cousin, what do you think?" Seeing the person in front of her stunned, Qianqian couldn't help but wave her hand in front of him. At this time, she was still a little uncertain. After all, she was the eldest princess. What if she agreed?
"Don't worry, cousin, I will find a way to solve it!" Xiao Yuanhuai was still calm.
Qianqian doesn’t understand. Why should I be relieved? How can you solve it this way?
"Cousin, I heard that people are preparing an invitation for you. And with your stepmother causing trouble, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the Princess's Mansion!" Qianqian was still afraid that this man would underestimate the women in the backyard.
However, these words reminded Xiao Yuanhuai that he was tricked in the same way in his previous life and ended up like that. If it were the same in this life... No, he couldn't accept it.
As a result, his expression showed a bit of panic.
Qianqian also figured it out through this incident. The two of them were really in trouble together. In this case, "Cousin, I think what you said a while ago makes sense. Instead of being a fish on someone's chopping board, being sold at a price with bad intentions, why don't we stick together?"
Xiao Yuanhuai was still thinking of a solution, and did not react for a moment after hearing this: "What does my cousin mean?"
"Cousin, let's get engaged!"
……
There was silence for a few seconds, which made Qianqian feel embarrassed. No way, no way, Xiao Yuanhuai wouldn't really want to go to the Princess's Mansion!
She looked at the person opposite without blinking, and saw that the person's face, starting from the ears, was red, and he looked like a poor little being bullied. Qianqian was dumbfounded, what did this mean?
"Well, since my cousin is willing to help, thank you very much!"
It turned out that she agreed, and was even shy: "Cousin, don't thank me yet, after all, we don't have the final say in this mansion!"
Xiao Yuanhuai: "..."
The system couldn't help but complain: "What the hell are you talking about, host?"
Qianqian said confidently: "I am just expressing my wishes. I will leave the rest to him. Otherwise, how can a foreign cousin like me tell others that I have a crush on your third son?"
The system is misfiring. That makes sense, haha!
At this moment, Xiao Yuanhuai also sorted out his thoughts, suppressed his inner ecstasy, tried to calm down and said to Qianqian: "Don't worry, cousin, I will talk to grandfather!"
Later, Xiao Yuanhuai went to find Old Master Xiao. In this life, because of his success, the head of the Xiao family valued him a lot, but everyone knew clearly how much was going on.
Sure enough, Old Master Xiao didn't know what Madam Xiao had done. If Qianqian hadn't tipped off the system, it would have been too late by the time everyone knew.
If Xiao Yuanhuai had really done something to the princess at that time, he would now be nothing more than a bastard without any official title... There have been such examples in the past.
There are also those obscene words about red-light districts, which may add a bit of romance to the man, but how could a family with a clean family background and loving daughters be interested in such a son-in-law?
As I said, Madam Xiao's behavior was becoming more and more disgraceful, so Old Master Xiao immediately ordered people to investigate. If they found anything, they would directly kidnap the person.
But what is urgent now is the invitation from the eldest princess. If it is true, their Xiao family does not have the confidence to refuse. If they go, it will be hard to say what will happen.
Seeing that his grandfather was silent, Xiao Yuanhuai expressed his thoughts: "Grandfather, I heard that the eldest princess still knows the basic etiquette and does not touch people with honors, nor does she understand people with engagements."
Old Master Xiao glanced at him and motioned for him to continue.
"As for fame, my grandson plans to take part in the Spring Examination next year, and he will definitely be on the list. But as for the marriage, I'm afraid it's too hasty..."
Old Master Xiao was quite surprised when he heard the first half of the sentence. He had tried this grandson before, and it was indeed as he said, the imperial examination would not be a problem, but he had always been indifferent. It was not possible for him to be an official with this appearance, let alone in a big family like theirs.
Now from what he said, it seems that he has ambition. If so, it is not a bad thing. For a real man, love affairs don't matter; the future of the family is what matters.
In this case, this matter is worth thinking about for him. This box is the same as what his eldest daughter-in-law thought of: who is easier to control than his granddaughter, Lu Qianqian? And after passing this level first, as for the future, they will naturally have the final say.
Therefore, he told Xiao Yuanhuai to go back first and he would discuss the matter with Old Lady Xiao.
Xiao Yuanhuai didn't say anything more. Based on his understanding of the old couple over the past few days, he guessed that it worked out. Old Master Xiao was only after profit, and although Old Madam Xiao had feelings for him, it was only half the effort.
Before leaving, I went for a walk in Qianqian's yard. Whether it was according to my heart or just for show, I always had to pretend to be intimate.
Qianqian was totally confused and there was no result. How could she just go in and out like this?
Fortunately, on this day, when Xiao Yuanhuai came back from outside, the result was out, and Qianqian also knew it at the first time.
The two were called to the front of the hall, and Mrs. Xiao beckoned Qianqian with a loving face, "Qianqian has grown up, she is a big girl now, and you can get married soon."
"Grandma, Qianqian just recognized her family not long ago, and she wants to stay with you for a while longer?" She said with admiration on her face, but actually complained in her heart, who would introduce the two of them directly in front of them? The Xiao family is really a shady family.
"Haha, okay, then I won't marry out. How is your third cousin?" the old lady asked with a smile, without even any preparation.
Qianqian was embarrassed when she heard this, but she could only try to hold back her blushing face, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum: "Third cousin is naturally excellent!"
Old Master Xiao was also asking, "Yuan Huai, although Qian Qian's parents are gone, she is still our cousin. She was lost and found again. Your grandmother is reluctant to let her marry out. Are you willing to take care of her in the future?"
Xiao Yuanhuai's face also turned red. He stood up and bowed to the ground: "It's up to grandfather to decide!"
"Okay, okay, since you two have no objection, then it's settled. However, Qianqian is still in mourning period, so you can wait until next spring to get engaged." Old Master Xiao made the final decision.
Old Madam Xiao also added: "We will inform the people in the Xiangfu about this matter, so that some people won't have any messy ideas."
Qianqian thought, never mind, it’s done after all, I can have some peace and quiet for a while, whatever!
However, after Xiao Yuanhuai walked out with her, he said apologetically: "Qianqian, I'm sorry for putting you through this!"
"I don't feel wronged. Isn't this just right?"
Looking at the calm face of the girl he loved, Xiao Yuanhuai sighed inwardly. It seemed that he needed to work harder!
