Quick Wear: The Beautiful Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Loses Her Memory
Chapter 98 From now on, I can only watch her from afar (45)
When Madam Xiao heard what Xiao Ji said, she opened her mouth to scold him, but seeing her son covered in wounds, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and just sighed softly, "It's too late. Xie Er has already exchanged his name cards with the Xue family.
They said they would wait until the imperial examination was over before offering the betrothal gifts, and there was news that Xue Han’s parents were already on their way to Beijing.”
Although the following words were not spoken, Xiao Ji understood what his mother meant by unspoken - the Xue family attached great importance to this marriage with the Xie family.
"Impossible, Jingshu won't agree." Xiao Ji immediately retorted excitedly when he heard this, "As long as she doesn't agree, I still have a chance!
I guess it’s because I didn’t go to Xie’s house to explain the situation to her before, so she misunderstood that I liked someone else and hurt her feelings. After I meet her, she will definitely change her mind.”
He firmly believed that as long as he could meet Xie Jingshu, he could make her change her mind.
"Jier, forget it!" Mrs. Xiao felt frightened when she thought of the Xie family's attitude towards her.
Once the eldest daughter of the Xie family loses her weakness for love, she becomes very difficult to control.
And now Xie Jingshu is obviously no longer the woman who can be easily manipulated by others.
Let’s not talk about other people for now. Just three days before her wedding, Xie Jingyao, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, was conferred the title of a county lady by the current emperor. When she got married, she entered the Zhou family’s gate with soldiers.
It has only been a few years since the old patriarch of the Zhou family "stepped down in favor of the wise", and in recent years, the Zhou family's business has been managed by the couple.
Moreover, apart from Xie Jingyao, Zhou Huai'en didn't even have a maid.
The Xie family's favor has not diminished, and I'm afraid that when Xie Jingshu gets married, the same thing will happen.
How could the mother-in-law dare to set rules with such a daughter-in-law, so it is better to "give" her to the Xue family.
Seeing that his mother remained silent, Xiao Ji felt more and more depressed. Since it was not easy to take action on the elders' side, he could only think of another way.
Seeing that her son did not continue the previous topic, Madam Xiao planned to talk about something else: "Let's not talk about the Xie family's affairs for now. There will be a temple fair in two days. I have invited people from the Xu family. You can come with me then.
By the way, meet the young lady of the Xu family. She has heard of you and admires you very much! You two can meet each other!"
"Mom, I've already told you, I want to first..." Xiao Ji hadn't finished his words.
Madam Xiao interrupted him, "Don't even think about this. I'm telling you this today. You can't afford to be with the Xie family. Don't think it's good now. You'll understand once you get married."
"Mother?" Xiao Ji still didn't give up, but he changed his request, "If you don't let me marry Xie Jingshu, then at least let me see her once! I haven't seen her since I fell into the water!"
Madam Xiao smiled bitterly in her heart. How could she let her son see this person just because she wanted to? This time when she went to the Xie family to ask for medicine, she almost didn't see the person.
"Aren't you friends with Xie Jinglan?" Madam Xiao didn't want to get involved in this matter. "Go and talk to him yourself. Maybe he can make some arrangements for you."
Xiao Ji thought about this and felt that his mother was right, so he nodded. However, the most important thing now was to recover from his injury as soon as possible.
Especially the cut on the face. If his appearance is affected too much, it would be difficult to communicate with Jingshu.
Thinking of this, he asked the people around him to apply the medicine again. However, he didn't know why the ointment, which had felt so good the previous times, actually caused a slight tingling sensation after this time.
It was as if the previous analgesic effect had disappeared. The most important thing was that the wound, which had obviously shown a tendency to heal before, seemed to have no changes.
But after asking the doctor, he said that this was a normal phenomenon and it would take some time for the wound to heal completely.
There was no other way. In order not to look too ugly, Xiao Ji had to wear a veil to cover up his ugliness when he attended the blind date party with the Xu family two days later.
Before leaving, his father, Duke Xiao, who was returning home, looked down on him: "As a man, why do you care so much about your appearance? It's just a small cut. So what if it leaves a scar?
You are a nobleman and you don't need to take the imperial examination. It is more important to practice martial arts well. Look at Xie Jinglan. Although he is a little honest, he is young and promising. He passed the examination to become a palace guard when he was in his teens.
"I have been with the emperor for several years, and I went to the army to train just after I turned twenty. Now I have made a name for myself. Look at you, you are from the same martial arts academy. What else can you do besides pretending to be cultured with those people!"
"Okay, okay, today is different." Madam Xiao hurriedly came out to smooth things over, "My son is going to meet Miss Xu today. It doesn't matter if he pays more attention to such an important matter."
"A loving mother often spoils her son!" Duke Xiao snorted. "I think that girl from the Xie family is pretty good, but you just ignored her. Now that she's engaged, you're eager to find another one, even liking the Xu family. I want to see what kind of girl you can find!"
"Can you blame me for this? Didn't you say anything when Xie Er's reputation was ruined?" Mrs. Xiao, whose sore spot was hit, said dissatisfiedly.
