The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

"So, isn't your idea of ​​strengthening ties through marriage a bit inappropriate? If you really want to strengthen ties through marriage, I think you should go to their home and see if their second brother still needs your daughter as a wife. That would be a true strengthening of ties through marriage."

After Si Chen's stern words, the atmosphere in the courtyard became unusually quiet. The previous commotion and whispers disappeared in an instant, but everyone was thinking about something else.

When Si Chen was saying these things, he was already feeling very unhappy after hearing what they were talking about. Seeing the somewhat impatient look on Tong Qian's face, he unconsciously exuded an exceptionally cold aura, as if he had seen something he had never wanted to see.

Those people were all from this small place, and at most they had only been to the town. Even those they saw on a daily basis were just people with little temper. They had never seen an aura like Si Chen's before, and for a moment they didn't know how to behave in this situation.

Under these circumstances, although Tong Qian wanted to break the silence, she was also comforted by the rare moment of peace that Si Chen had brought her. At this time, she tried her best to delay and see what their attitude was, and whether it would change subtly in the dark.

Moreover, although she knew Si Chen would have emotions, she never expected him to unleash such a cold aura in such a short time. Perhaps it was because she hadn't understood him well enough before. Seeing Si Chen like this, she was deeply moved that he was standing by her side at this moment, helping her to say such things.

Seeing that Kui'er was not showing any emotion, and thinking that she wouldn't say anything more, he organized his thoughts in his mind before trying to speak and resolve the current situation. However, something unexpected happened at the same time.

At this moment, Kui'er gently tugged at Tong Qian's arm, her eyes revealing a firm determination. She simply blinked, leaving Tong Qian puzzled. She didn't know what Kui'er wanted to say, but the fact that she was holding her arm like this was something she hadn't expected.

Then, after a moment of hesitation, Kui'er spoke gently and softly, "Uncles, aunts, please calm down. I know that Young Master Sichen's attitude just now made you feel disrespected, but he was just trying to express his thoughts. He doesn't want his life to be controlled by others."

"Since this matter involves my existence, it would be inappropriate for me to remain silent. But if I really want to say something, I really don't know what you all think. I'm sure there are many people in the village who like your family, whether it's your son or your daughter."

"Why would you go to such lengths to chase after two people who are simply unrealistic? To me, Young Master Sichen and I are nothing more than two outsiders who came here in haste and will leave just as soon as possible. Why bother with all this effort?"

"Miss Tong invited the teacher because she sincerely hoped that he could teach you farming skills so that more people in the village could have a better life. She also hoped that when you encounter natural disasters or unavoidable events, you wouldn't have to beg others everywhere and would have some resources."

"From the bottom of her heart, she thought that through her efforts, you could be like the people in the town, going to the teahouse to listen to plays, music, and the heavenly piano music that the townspeople call 'heavenly music.' It's fine if you can't understand her thoughts, but how could you possibly have designs on me and Young Master Sichen?"

As she spoke, she was somewhat annoyed. She glanced at her feet, then looked up again, her expression returning to its previous calm. "We're only staying here for a few days at Miss Tong's invitation. It's not a long or short stay. What do you think we can change?"

"Although I must admit that Young Master Sichen's words were indeed quite sharp, they were exactly what I was thinking. It's just that everything prevented me from saying what he could say. Actually, I could have said nothing about this, but I didn't want you to miss that opportunity."

"If you want to learn those subjects, we can help you. We can talk to Miss Tong about it. After all, although Master Yuan's reputation in the town is not universally known, many students in these fields have come from his tutelage. Moreover, wherever he has guided or taught, the students become exceptionally good."

“If you can learn from him for a while, it will definitely help your family’s income. But if you’re not thinking that way, then I think it’s getting late and you can go home and do what you should do.”

As she spoke, her expression gradually changed from gentle to expressionless. Even those who didn't know her could see that she was showing signs of anger. After saying that, she simply nodded lightly to Tong Qian and went back into the house. There, she talked to the girls about things to pay attention to when playing the piano.

As Tong Qian watched, she knew in her heart that it was already quite remarkable that Kui'er could say such things at this time. Her personality had changed so much in such a short period of time. She didn't know whether to say it was good or bad. It seemed that there were too many differences between what she had initially thought and what she had initially thought.
