"Not a real 'joy'? - What do you mean?" Xiao Taiji seemed very surprised, smiled and shook his head, and blinked at his newlywed wife Guan Yunlian, looking in disbelief.

He and Xiao Shiji are full-blood brothers. They both look like their father, Xiao Xiangsheng, and their handsome outlines are very similar. However, Xiao Shiji has been running around since he was a boy. He has been exposed to hardships and has shouldered the burden of the family.

He has a level of maturity and stability far beyond that of his peers.

However, Xiao Taiji has always been beside Long Xiangye. Under the protection of Xiao Shiji, he has not experienced any storms. He is only clever and not very stable. Although he still looks handsome, he is always a little frivolous.

Du Hengshuang smiled, did not answer, looked back at Long Xiangye, who was hiding his face with his sleeves, and said sincerely: "Auntie, please let the two imperial doctors check your pulse."

Guan Yunlian understood, she answered her husband's words with a smile, and said softly: "Erlang asked my sister just now, how could she avoid answering?" The Erlang in her mouth was of course her husband Xiao Taiji.

The second eldest son of the Xiao family.

Du Hengshuang didn't expect that Guan Yunlian was so rough and was simply used as a spearman by Xiao Taiji. His eyes turned and he glanced at Xiao Taiji.

Du Hengshuang's eyes were as ice-like as snow, as if she didn't understand anything, and yet she seemed to understand everything. It made Xiao Taiji very uncomfortable, and his head couldn't help but move around.

"What's so difficult to answer? Miss Du didn't say anything. She's kind. If you keep asking, aren't you not saving some face for your mother-in-law?" Zhu Susu also walked in carrying a medicine box. As soon as she entered the door

, when I saw Long Xiangye standing in the middle hall full of energy, I knew what was going on.

Just then, Xiao Tai and his wife were lining up to pick off Du Hengshuang, and she was happy to join in.

"What kind of face? Who are you?" Guan Yunlian got married in a hurry, and she still had no idea about the Xiao family and didn't know Zhu Susu.

Zhu Susu glanced at her contemptuously and said: "Those three families are either real 'Chongxi' or fake Chongxi. You can't understand such a simple conversion?"

"How can a happy event be fake?!" Guan Yunlian was very shocked. Her family background was not obvious, and she married into the Xiao family. The happy event was her only bargaining chip to win Long Xiangye's favor. How could she be said to be fake?

Not angry?

Zhu Susu chuckled, "Of course there is a falsehood in happiness..."

"That's enough, everyone, today is a big day for my Xiao family. Since everyone has come to the door, go and have a glass of water at the bar." Xiao Shiji interrupted Zhu Susu's words in a deep voice, and stretched out his hand to say "please"

"" word, someone took the two imperial doctors out of the main hall door and went to the side hall next to it. At the same time, he scolded Long Xiangye's two maids, He Rui and Mei Xiang: "The old lady is seriously ill, you just

Let the old lady have her own way! From now on, we will create three litters of four, beat them up and sell them to a workshop!"

Hearing this, the two maids, who usually had some thoughts about him, turned pale. They quickly picked up the dragon scented leaves and hugged her to their inner room like a gust of wind.

Long Xiangye was so angry that her hands and feet trembled, and she said her heart ached, so she fell on the bed and cried silently.

Xiao Taiji and Guan Yunlian quickly followed and served tea and water in front of the longxiang leaf bed, serving them very attentively.

Long Xiangye felt relieved thinking that her second son was considerate. But thinking of Xiao Shiji's face today, she felt a little timid. She didn't know how to act, so she had to close her eyes and fall asleep.

When Fang Wuniang saw Xiao Shiji in the middle hall, she had already understood. She smiled and said, "I'm busy at home, so I'm going to bother you a lot today." She was about to say goodbye and leave.

Only now did Xiao Shiji realize that he had been tricked by his closest family member, and his heart was burning with pain, but that was his own mother, so what could he do? Apart from preventing her from continuing to embarrass herself, he could also bring justice to the Xiao family.

To save his face, he could only stop Zhu Susu's unspoken words.

But this time, Du Hengshuang suffered a great injustice, and he would not give up.

Thinking of what happened over the years, and how his father told him in prison that he should take responsibility as the head of the family and not listen to his mother, I felt even more ashamed.

The "King of Xiao Hell" who was making decisions about killings and punishments outside, and who was frightened by the news in the underworld, actually suffered a life-threatening fall in his own home.

"Don't worry, Aunt Fang. I owe you and Shuang'er an explanation. After I sort out the affairs at home, I will go to the Xu family to apologize. About the wedding..." Xiao Shiji felt very upset when he saw Fang Wu Niang's calm expression.

As expected, Fang Wu Niang said: "Your family has just held a happy event, let's discuss the wedding date later." She actually canceled their wedding date in August.

Xiao Shiji was in a hurry and wanted to persuade him again, but he saw Du Hengshuang shaking his head slightly at Fang Wu Niang, so he had no choice but to drop the topic and send Fang Wu Niang, Du Hengshuang and the others out in person.

After dinner, Xiao Shiji finally begged two imperial doctors to check Longxiang Ye's pulse.

The two imperial doctors checked the pulse back to back, and the results were similar. They both said that Long Xiangye was weak, her heart energy was depressed, but her heart fire was deficient and she did lack food and sleep, which meant she was malnourished. He asked again

Xiao Shiji said that a quack doctor could diagnose her, but a good person actually cursed her to be sick and die soon, and to cause such a thing as a surprise...

Xiao Shiji glanced at Zhu Susu, but Zhu Susu seemed to be fine. He listened to the two imperial doctors with a smile, asked questions from time to time, and had a good conversation with the two imperial doctors.

Xiao Shiji withdrew his gaze and asked: "How could there be malnutrition? The old lady has a special small kitchen, and her monthly purchasing expenses are almost a thousand taels of silver. How could she not give the old lady food? This small kitchen

How do people work as errands?!" Then he called the cook in charge of the small kitchen over and asked her if she was lining her own pockets.

The cook felt extremely aggrieved and handed over a detailed account of the kitchen for Mr. Xiao to reconcile.

Xiao Shiji took a quick look and found that he had bought numerous supplements such as bird's nest, ginseng, antler, cinnamon, etc., and said in astonishment: "We don't have a pharmacy at home, how can we get so many bird's nest, ginseng, antler, and other supplements?"

The cook hurriedly said: "The sisters around the old lady all know this. As soon as summer comes, the old lady says that it's hot and her appetite is bad, so she can't eat, so she only eats bird's nests. If she eats four or five bird's nests a day, these

It’s no longer enough.”

That’s it. Diseases of wealth are common among elderly people. Can eating bird’s nests keep you healthy?

Whole grains are the holy things that nourish people.

The two imperial doctors didn't even need to prescribe prescriptions. They both said that Long Xiang Ye should not be taken as a supplement as a meal, but should eat more whole grains. If the appetite is not good, practice Wu Qin Xi and not lie in bed all day long.

Xiao Shiji accompanied the smiling face to send the imperial doctor out. When he came back, he heard that Long Xiangye had fallen asleep. Knowing that she was embarrassed to see him, he turned around and came to the middle hall, where he saw Zhu Susu still sitting there alone.

"Follow me." Xiao Shiji said in a deep voice and took Zhu Susu to his study.

"Tell me, why are you lying to me?" It was Zhu Susu who brought up the happy incident. It was also Zhu Susu who said that Long Xiangye was seriously ill. Xiao Shiji has been very good at Zhu Susu's medical skills in recent years.

I admire you, but who knew that this kind of thing would happen.

Zhu Susu smiled and said: "I didn't lie to you. I told you that my aunt has a 'heart disease'." Heart disease can be big or small.

Xiao Shiji's face was serious, "What about the joy? Didn't you propose the joy? What are you jumping up and down like this for?"

Zhu Susu was a little embarrassed when she was asked, but now she had no other wishes for Xiao Shiji. Without desire, she was strong, so of course she became tough when speaking, and said loudly: "I'm jumping up and down, it's not just because I'm being mean, I want to help you."

My little sweet wife, Miss Shuang'er!"

"Are you still reasonable? Do you dare to say that you are not doing a disservice?" If Xiao Shiji hadn't never hit a woman, he would have wanted to beat Zhu Susu.

Zhu Susu was indeed a little aggrieved and pouted: "I'll tell you the truth. It was your mother and your brother who hinted to me many times about the wedding. I just told you. I thought they were just casual.

Tell me, your mother was thinking about this day and night, and she became a little obsessed. I was worried about her.

I told you if something happened. I thought that if you let Miss Du celebrate, your mother would be able to say that, and you could live a more harmonious life in the future. Who would have thought that you, the old man, kept silent and talked to Miss Du

Without even saying a word, I took it upon myself to agree to your brother's proposal."

"Is this related to Brother Tai?" Xiao Shiji's heart sank again.

Zhu Susu thought for a moment and told the truth, "Actually, it has nothing to do with your brother. The key is your mother. She and your brother complain about being sick here and there every day, and he doesn't know that your mother is pretending to be sick.

Speaking of filial piety, he is indeed much more filial than you."

Xiao Shiji sighed softly. He was worried outside all day long, holding his head and helping King Yi to do things, in order to seek opportunities to climb up, and to let his family live a better life. But he was born and raised.

His mother was plotting against him, to such an extent. No matter how filial he was, he still felt a little disheartened at this moment.

Zhu Susu knew that Du Hengshuang was a poor scholar and was filial, so he couldn't help but feel that Du Hengshuang was not worthy of him.

Coming out of Xiao's house, Zhu Susu saw a carriage from the Xu family parked at the door waiting for her.

"Misses, please get in the car and talk." Du Hengshuang sat in the car and nodded to her with a smile.

Zhu Susu thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing to be embarrassed about. She calmly carried the medicine box on her back and got on the carriage, asking, "Miss Du, what advice do you have?"

Du Hengshuang smiled and said: "I was rude yesterday. Today I came here specifically to thank the young ladies for their reminder yesterday."

If Zhu Susu hadn't told her about it, she would have had to wait until there were rumors in the city again before she knew what was going on.

After Zhu Susu told her about the wedding yesterday, Du Hengshuang came up with a way and asked Jingzhao Yin Xu Shao to help her get the civil marriage files of Chang'an City for the past eight years. She spent the whole night looking for special marriage registration files.

, today’s data is available, quietly exposing the lie of Longxiang Ye’s “joy”, allowing Xiao Shiji to see the truth clearly.

Zhu Susu looked at Du Hengshuang with pity, shook his head and said, "Why are you doing this? You should know better than me that when a woman marries, she does not marry a person, but a family. I think after today's incident,

Aunt Xiao has made it clear that she doesn't like you and wants to show off your face. Do you still want to marry her? You are not me. You have a capable mother and a fortune. I really don't understand why you still have to earn and suffer.

Such idleness."

Du Hengshuang glanced at Zhu Susu quietly and raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "But when a woman marries, she still marries the man. The most important thing is to see whether the man can carry her clearly. Otherwise, how can it be possible to see her father-in-law and mother-in-law being sensible and kind, even if they are married?

The man is a dandy, so you want to marry him? - Susu said this, do you also want to fight for this leisure? Marry my brother? "

Zhu Susu was choked by Du Hengshuang and was a little embarrassed. She looked stern and said with a deep heart: "If I marry him, my life will be short for several years. I..."

But looking at Du Hengshuang's calm and clear eyes, Zhu Susu was a little flustered because her thoughts had been revealed. Finally, she lowered her head and sighed, "Miss Du, I am not a good person, and I don't want to be a good person. To be honest, I used to

I had the idea of ​​​​brother Xiao, but in front of his mother, I gave up my intention of marrying him."

After speaking, he shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "Besides, Brother Xiao's heart is not with me. I'm just fighting to get married. What hope do I have in this life? Living with a wicked mother-in-law and a man who doesn't like me.

I will not be willing to do such a loss-making business without being compensated by great glory and wealth in my life."

Du Hengshuang appreciated this frankness and nodded slowly: "Since Susu made it so clear, I won't hide it. I am not a person without temper. You have seen me shoot Wang Xiaofu in the street, so...

I know that I have never been someone who can be patient and submissive. I know that my aunt doesn't like me, I just don't know that she will dislike me to this extent."

After a pause, Du Hengshuang continued: "Actually, I did it for my brother to see what happened today. If he is a sensible person, he will know how difficult it will be for me to marry into this family in the future. I want to see what happens to him.

What will he do to help us solve these difficulties? If he can't understand what I mean and just asks me to tolerate it, no matter what harsh conditions his mother puts forward, he will make me obey to the end, and I will have to feel sorry for him.

No matter how happy I am with him, and no matter how much we can't let go of our childhood friendship, I will never marry him. - My parents gave birth to me and raised me, not for me to marry into other people's families and be abused by others. I

Letting others abuse you is unfilial to your parents. I understand this truth."

Zhu Susu nodded with satisfaction, "This is interesting. Let me tell you, a woman's life is not easy. If you can't have a lot of love, you must have a lot of money. If you lack one thing, don't get married."

Du Hengshuang was amused and joked: "I wonder what kind of husband Susu will marry in the future? I wish you and him a long life together and a happy family."

Zhu Susu smiled proudly, raised her neck, and said with great satisfaction: "He must have a car and a house, and his mother-in-law is not here..." As she said that, her shoulders slumped again, "But I can see it.

People, people look down on me."
