"Father, no."

"Those with high family status look down on me, the daughter of a small county magistrate, and I don't like those with too low a family background. Although the Xiao family is in decline, Mrs. Xiao is still a royal wife and her family status is quite suitable for our family. Xiaojing

Yan saved me back then, and I had to marry him both emotionally and rationally."

"What's more, I heard that the second master of the Xiao family has joined the private school in Kyoto to teach the master. The students he teaches are all the children of the aristocratic family. Maybe he will be promoted to the Taifu in the future. There is some hope, plus Mrs. Xiao's

Banning your account is not something you can bully."

"So Yueru, what do you mean?" Magistrate Tao asked in confusion.

"Father, I want to get married."

"But Princess Qinghe is not a good person."

Tao Yueru smiled, "As long as I'm here, that demoted good-for-nothing princess Qinghe won't be able to survive."

Mrs. Tao was uneasy, "You really like that Xiao Jingyan."

"Well, mother should understand me."

After thinking for a while, Magistrate Tao stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go give Mrs. Xiao an answer right away."

Seeing that Magistrate Tao was about to leave, Tao Yueru said urgently: "Father, my daughter wants to see Yue Ya alone."

"Okay, I'll tell her."

After waiting for about half a stick of incense, the old lady had already drank a cup of tea, and then Magistrate Tao came over.

Mrs. Xiao acted a little anxious, but Yue Ya pulled her back and signaled her not to show it too obviously.

"Magistrate Tao, you are here."

"Old Mrs. Xiao, I asked Yueru, she is grateful to Mr. Xiao for saving her, so she is willing to marry him, but Yueru wants to see Miss Yueya, do you think?"

Yue Ya stepped forward and said, "County Magistrate Tao, I would like to see Miss Tao."

"Okay, okay, the housekeeper will take Miss Yue Ya in."

After Yue Ya left, Magistrate Tao wanted to invite Mrs. Xiao to stay in the mansion and rest, but the old lady said there was no need to bother since her luggage had been left at the inn, so she declined.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, candlelight was swaying in Tao Yueru's boudoir, and two pretty figures were reflected in the paper window. The two stood opposite each other, greeted each other and sat down.

"Miss Yueya, please sit down."

"Miss Tao, there's no need to be polite, just call me Yue Ya."

Tao Yueru has a bright smile. Although her appearance is not as good as Yueya's, she is dignified and decent, and her every frown and smile reveal shrewdness.

"Yue Ya, I know it was your suggestion to marry me into the Xiao family this time."

Yue Ya was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Why do you see it's me?"

"Xiao Jingyan didn't see my face at the beginning, let alone recognize me, and naturally he wouldn't fall in love with me, let alone regard Qinghe as my substitute. That's just what you said to reassure my parents, girl.

.”

"You are very smart, since you know why you agreed to marry Xiao Jingyan."

Now that the words have been made clear, Yue Ya also likes to talk to smart people, so she speaks directly. If it is not an excessive request, she will naturally agree.

Tao Yueru gestured to Yue Ya to drink tea, then smiled and said: "I believe that if I marry him, he will only like me, so love can be cultivated, as long as I like him."

"Then Miss Tao, just tell me what you have to say?"

"I know that you hate Princess Qinghe, so you want to use me to marry Xiao Jingyan so that Qinghe will be painful and jealous and cause internal strife between the two of us. This way, your purpose of revenge will be achieved. Am I right?"

Yue Ya said calmly: "I admit that I have had this idea, but you think that I am too vicious. My purpose of bringing you together is actually that I think you are smart and can manage the family well, and my grandmother needs the help of such a person.

She, after all, that grandmother is very important to me, you are right, I hope you suppress Qinghe tightly, I am really happy when she is unhappy."

"Okay, I promise you, but you also have to promise me something."

"you say."

"It's very simple. Your Yue family is a family of merchants. The family business is spread all over the capital. Especially the largest textile industry in the capital is also owned by your father. I want to negotiate a deal with him."

When Yue Ya heard this, she started to get into trouble. Most of the Yue family's property was in the hands of Aunt Mei and her son, as well as the housekeeping rights. When she got married, she had nothing but the dowry left to her by her mother.

Her father was under the control of that woman and never said anything. He even became more and more indifferent to her. What she said no longer had the right to speak in the Yue family.

"My father may not listen to me."

Tao Yueru smiled and said, "As long as you let me meet your father, don't worry about the rest."

"Okay, then I promise you, we will get married in half a month. Do you think the time is rushed?"

"Fortunately, I also want to meet Princess Qinghe. It would be nice to enter the house on the same day as her."

Yue Ya smiled and stretched out his hand, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

It was already late when I left Tao's house. Since Tao's house is not very far from the inn where Yue Ya lives, it can be reached by walking.

Although the city is not as prosperous as the capital, it is still very lively. There are many couples walking in groups of two and three with their children.

Yue Ya liked this atmosphere. Seeing the warm appearance of the family of three, he was moved by the scene and his eyes turned red inexplicably.

When her mother was not dead, she was still a little one being held by her father and mother, shouting that she wanted to eat candied haws.

Mrs. Xiao was past that age and was too old, so she had no interest in shopping. She turned back to look at Yue Ya. Her eyes were red and she was looking at the child not far away in a daze. She frowned and couldn't help but hold her hand.

hand.

"Miss your family?"

"No," Yue Ya wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Since my mother died, I no longer have a family."

"Don't be afraid. As long as I am here from now on, Xiao Mansion will be your home."

Yue Ya smiled back at her, yes! While she was there, the Xiao family was still a home, but sooner or later she would return to the earth, and she would have no home at that time. She guessed that she would be in pain that day!

She couldn't imagine the powerlessness she felt without her family.

"Grandma, you will live a long life."

"Silly boy."

Mrs. Xiao really cared for Yue Ya, which was partly due to her kindness to her. Suddenly something occurred to her and she said lightly: "What did Miss Tao say to you tonight?"

"She said that she can marry into the Xiao Mansion in half a month, but she must agree to one condition."

"What conditions?"

"She wants to see my father."

"But your father hasn't contacted you for half a year. Even when you came home after getting married, you were treated coldly. How can you help her see your father?"

Yue Ya smiled, "I have my own way."

At this moment, a shout came from a small vendor not far away, "Wonton wonton, the wonton is fragrant just out of the pot, it's delicious."

"Grandma, let's go eat wontons! It's a midnight snack."

"Okay! Then grandma will treat Yue Ya to eat today."

"Okay," Yue Ya snuggled into the old lady's arms, and Aunt Jin behind her showed a long-lost smile. If Miss Yue Ya stays with the old lady forever, the old lady will live a long life.

"Boss, here are three bowls of wontons."

"okay!"

Yue Ya invited Grandma Jin to sit down, but Grandma Jin was unwilling no matter what. She didn't want to get too far away, so she sat down only after the old lady spoke.

As the fragrant little wontons were served, there was a layer of oil floating on the clear soup and garnished with chopped green onions. The round and chubby wontons were tumbling in the bowl as Yue Ya stirred, and the hot steam sprayed on her face.

She rarely showed the delicate look of a little girl and said, "Oh! Grandma, please try it. It tastes good. The meat is very delicious."
