Although she knew that Xiao Shiji would never kill her mother, Long Xiangye was still intimidated by Xiao Shiji's momentum. She suddenly shrank into the Bisha cabinet and said in a trembling voice: "Don't mess around!"

It was sharp and harsh, as uncomfortable as someone pinching her neck from behind or cutting a chicken's neck with a dull knife.

Xiao Shiji chuckled, put down his hands, put his hands behind his back, and said seriously: "Mom, where did you think you were? How could I mess up? Mom also knows that I am a person who works hard to climb up, why?

Will you not care about your own reputation?"

"No...that's right, that's the truth..." Long Xiangye told herself that it must be like this, but looking at Xiao Shiji's appearance, she felt that something was wrong with him, that he was very different from before, and she felt a little regretful.

Did you push him too hard and make him lose his mind?

Ouch, what can I do?

Long Xiangye was a little anxious again. Although the eldest son was not as obedient as the younger son, the whole family relied on him. If he really had a problem, even if he killed Du Hengshuang, it would not help. The Xiao family would definitely be defeated again. The Xiao family would definitely be defeated again.

My son is still young and has not grown up enough to stand alone. The eldest son must not get into trouble...

Long Xiangye regretted pushing Xiao Shiji too hard. After all, the jade bottle was injured after hitting the mouse. She forgot her fear for a moment, took out the blue gauze cupboard, put on embroidered shoes with soft soles and silk, and came to Xiao Shiji's side.

She held his hand and said, "Brother Ji, are you okay? Don't scare me..."

The name "Ji Geer" was what Long Xiangye called Xiao Shiji when he was a child. After so many years, he heard this title again. But only now did he remember that he was also her biological son. Xiao Shiji's heart

It has all the five flavors and is quite unpleasant.

Xiao Shiji took a step back, took his hand out of Long Xiangye's hand, smiled lightly and said: "Mom, I'm fine, I'm fine." After speaking, he raised his voice to the outside and said, "Find someone to go to the outer courtyard and follow me.

Xiao Yi said, "You can bring people in now." Xiao Yi is the general manager of the Xiao family's outer courtyard.

Long Xiangye was confused and asked sarcastically: "What's going on? Who do you want to bring in?"

Xiao Shiji's expression has returned to normal. The hesitation and sadness just now seemed to be Long Xiangye's illusion.

Long Xiangye looked at Xiao Shiji with his eyes narrowed, wondering what the eldest son was thinking, and began to regret in his heart.

It's all the fault of that Guan family. She was so exhausted. She cried like a man in tears, and that Aunt Jin was beside her again, making her forget that this eldest son has always been an independent person. She took care of him, and since he was six years old, he has been

Haven't been successful.

Long Xiangye came up with regrets, but Xiao Shiji had already calmly walked to the rosewood open-carved lotus chair under the south window opposite. He shook his robe and sat down leisurely. He smiled lightly, his cheeks

Two shallow dimples were exposed, "Mom, do you know what I did last night?"

"Don't you have business?" Long Xiangye said absentmindedly, and went back to sit in the Bisha cupboard. She disturbed the bird's nest on the table uneasily.

The bowl of bird's nest has become a little cold, and a faint fishy smell lingers on the tip of the tongue. The taste has changed a lot.

Long Xiangye sighed and threw away the silver spoon, calling outside: "Someone, please take this bird's nest away from me."

Mei Xiang lowered her head and walked in, put the stew pot and small bowl back into the food box, and glanced at Longxiang Ye worriedly.

Long Xiangye smiled and nodded, indicating that she was fine.

Mei Xiang bowed to Xiao Shiji again, then picked up the food box and walked out backwards.

The room was very quiet, and the voice of the chief manager, Xiao Yi, seemed to come from the courtyard outside.

Xiao Shiji knew that it was Xiao Yi who came in with someone, and his heart gradually calmed down. Now that he had reached this point, he had no choice but to go on. In the future, he would often go out on errands and not be at home. If he couldn't clean the house for Du Hengshuang,

Jing, he really didn't know what would happen. In the past, he didn't want to speculate on his family with malice, but now he found that his family may regard him as a relative, but no one regards Du Hengshuang as being as close as him.

Relatives.

He shuddered when he thought about what happened yesterday. In front of him, Du Hengshuang could suffer physical pain. What if it happened in a place where he couldn't see it in the future?

It's enough for him to be worried outside. He doesn't want to have another person worried at home in the future.

Xiao Shiji heard the movement in the room outside, and also heard the sound of Xiao Yi rushing his servants into the yard outside. Knowing that he was ready, he smiled and said, "Mom, I actually went out yesterday just for my mother's sake. It's official business.

Well, it’s just a cover.”

"Really? You're making mother happy, aren't you?" Long Xiangye's voice was surprised and happy. For the first time, this eldest son actually put her, the mother, above his wife!

Xiao Shiji chuckled, his voice gentle and low, "Of course not. Yesterday, for my mother's marriage, I went to several matchmakers and asked the four most famous matchmakers in the neighborhood to find a suitable candidate for my mother. - Mother

, how can you say that your son is unfilial? The son would not hesitate to find a father for himself, but he also wanted to fulfill his mother's wish and marry her off..."

When Long Xiangye first heard about "marriage", "matchmaker" and "betrothal", he subconsciously placed it on his little daughter Xiao Yanran, and said with some disappointment: "Why are you in a hurry? Just take your time and look for it, and you went out of your way to

You ran out at night, you just got married, what's the point of leaving your wife behind..."

Xiao Shiji coughed lightly.

Xiao Yi, who was outside, could hear clearly and winked at a gorgeously dressed matchmaker standing in front of the carved floor covering.

The matchmaker understood, and walked in as soon as she lifted the curtain, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Old lady, your son is so filial and touching! Tsk, tsk, I can't bear the widowed mother's observance, so she is looking for a suitable wife for her.

Betrothal candidate. This filial piety will be rewarded by His Majesty with a plaque!"

After hearing this, Long Xiangye felt as if he had been hit hard on the chest by a sledgehammer. Stars flashed in his eyes and he almost fainted.

One arm was supported on the bed board of the Bisha cupboard, and the other hand was holding his chest while he was panting. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, you crazy woman? When did I say that I was going to get married?"

He stared at Xiao Shiji fiercely and said angrily: "You traitor!"

The matchmaker giggled and laughed. "Hey, old madam, don't be embarrassed. I heard it outside just now. You said it with regrets, but you were really happy! - In fact, getting married again is not a big deal.

, Now His Majesty encourages widows to remarry, why do you have to be pretentious, old madam? Besides, you are not very old, and you are pampered, and you look like you are only in your thirties..."

Long Xiangye was furious. She patted the short boy next to her and said, "I am already in my thirties!"

"Oh...hehe...hehe..." The matchmaker was a little embarrassed, "Yes, yes, it's just right for your age. I heard that you are a well-known person in this area who abides by the three obediences and the four virtues.

. Let me tell you, there are really not many young ladies like you nowadays. When I heard your son tell you about your situation yesterday, I immediately thought of some good marriages and wanted to tell you about them."

Long Xiangye blushed. Seeing that the matchmaker was really here, she hurriedly said: "Get out of here! I'm fine. I have a son and a daughter, who should I marry! - I don't want to marry! One daughter is fine.

Second Husband. I am a chaste woman, and I will not marry!" He spat at Xiao Shiji again, "You can do it! That's what I had in mind! If you consider marrying me off, then you will be in charge of this family.

?Are you worthy of your father by doing this? Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Xiao family? I'm going to go to the ancestral hall to cry for the master..." After saying that, his eyes were really red, and he wiped his tears with a handkerchief and walked out.

Xiao Shiji made a plop and knelt down in front of Long Xiangye. He cleverly blocked her way.

"Mom, don't be sad. My son only now understands what's on his mind. It's his fault. He's trying his best to be unfilial to his dead father, but he can't make his mother sad. Both mother and son know that you often can't sleep at night, so you have to stay in bed.

Picking Buddha beans in front of the lamp. You get angry when you see me and my second brother being a harmonious couple. When you are sick, you refuse to see the doctor and ask me and my second brother to lay a floor in your room to take care of you. In fact, it is all because we don’t understand.

What's on your mind - My son knows that it's not easy to be a widow. The rest of my mother's life is still very long. Mother, you don't have to say it, your son will do it for you. This matchmaker Zeng is the most capable matchmaker in this world. She

I will definitely find a good family for my mother."

Long Xiangye stared at Xiao Shiji who was kneeling on the ground, as if she knew him for the first time. - How could this son be so cruel! She didn't keep her integrity at home, and he wanted to marry her off!

One woman has nothing to do with two husbands...

But the matchmaker had already spotted this opportunity, and said with a smile: "Old madam, listen to me, there are three good families here. Your son and I have reviewed them together, and I think they are very suitable for you."

Long Xiangye gave Xiao Shiji a hard look, turned away, and angrily walked back to the Bisha cabinet and sat down. Curious in her heart, she said angrily: "Tell me, who are they?"

The matchmaker was greedy for Xiao Shiji and other large reward money, so she made up her mind to make this marriage happen, and hurriedly said: "Old madam, don't blame your son. Come, listen to me.

Talk about these people."

The matchmaker sat on the blue gauze cupboard with her legs stretched out, facing Long Xiangye, and took out the first Geng post.

"This is the Li family of Shengyefang. Mr. Li is about the same age as the old lady this year. They are both in their thirties. They have a lot of money and are engaged in big business. They are also talented people. The first wife is gone, leaving only two

A daughter. The old lady will have a son again. If she gets married and gives birth to two sons, she will secure another family fortune!"

Long Xiangye knew that these matchmakers were lame but wanted to talk about flowers, so she was unmoved. She drooped her eyelids and said: "The Mr. Li family is so good, how could he not find Huanghua's eldest daughter to fill the house?"

Are you looking for me, an old woman?"

The matchmaker looked at Xiao Shiji, saw him nodding slightly, and said with understanding: "I won't hide this from the old lady. There is something wrong with this Mr. Li family."

I knew it. Long Xiangye sneered. A rich man in his thirties who was good at everything was in his prime. There were so many girls of fifteen or sixteen years old vying to marry him. How could he give in to her, a widow in her thirties or almost forty?

?!

"What's wrong?" Long Xiangye asked deliberately, wanting to embarrass Xiao Shiji.

The matchmaker sighed, "I don't speak secretly in front of people. This Mr. Li family is good at everything, but there is one bad thing. He has a widowed mother. She is now over sixty and is extremely powerful. He is the leader.

My wife was beaten to death by this widowed mother."

Long Xiangye trembled in fright, stared and said: "Such an evil woman killed someone, why don't you arrest her and bring her to court?!"

"It was said that the daughter-in-law was unfilial and spilled soup on her mother-in-law, so she ordered her to be beaten to death with sticks. Tsk tsk. I also went to see the wife on the day she was buried. She was pricked with needles all over her body.

There were hidden wounds on her body, and not a single piece of flesh on her body was good. It was really miserable. People said that she was not beaten to death with sticks, but stabbed to death with needles." In other words, in fact, the mother-in-law was stabbed to death with needles.

He killed his daughter-in-law with his own hands. The daughter-in-law’s natal family was not in trouble and no one made the decision for her.

In such a family, the master of the Li family is a filial son, but no one is willing to marry him, including the kiln sister in the brothel, who would rather continue to sell herself than marry into the Li family.

The Mr. Li family had no choice but to ask the matchmaker for candidates at a high price.

Long Xiangye glared at Xiao Shiji again with hatred. Seeing that he was fine, he said angrily: "You want me to die, right? - You traitor!"

The matchmaker hurriedly said: "Old madam, you can't say that. This old lady of the Li family is not an unreasonable person. She just attaches great importance to rules. I heard that the old lady comes from a scholarly family, so there is no need for rules and etiquette.

Picky. You are also the champion of three obediences and four virtues, and the marshal of women's discipline. For a woman like you, the old lady of the Li family must be extremely beloved. Marry the master of the Li family to fill a house, how good would it be for the two of you to love each other?

Besides, the Li family is extremely wealthy and has agreed to give a large betrothal gift, at least sixty cents. - Old madam, think about it. A sixty cents betrothal gift is enough to marry six young girls. And this
