At this point, Ji Xiaoman didn't expect that she would ask him what he thought. He was a little touched for a moment and said, "Of course."
There was no turning back. From the moment she decided to go find the Lord of Huating County, she could no longer look back.
All the vacillations now are just meaningless struggles.
Fortunately, she has never been one to regret easily.
Seeing how determined she was, Shi Chunfen didn't say anything more. In fact, she envied Ji Xiaoman's character. He always had clear goals and dared to fight for himself. The two of them were obviously raised by the same group of mothers, but she
She is weak by nature and always passive. She used to blame others and blame her own background, but now seeing Ji Xiaoman's cheerful appearance, she realized that she actually had nothing to complain about. It was all her fault that she was not smart enough.
Seeing her melancholy look, Ji Xiaoman only felt funny, "What's wrong with you? I'm obviously the one going to celebrate, but why do you look unhappy?"
Shi Chunfen came back to his senses and smiled at her, "I just feel that compared to you, I am so useless."
"How could it be?!" Ji Xiaoman looked surprised, "You are the eldest mistress of the Chu family, how could it be useless?"
Shi Chunfen didn't know how to answer, so she had to smile bitterly and said: "Second Master, you won't blame me because I became like this?"
"Of course not." Seeing that she was melancholy just because of this kind of thing, Ji Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief, "There's nothing to blame you for, you are also a victim!"
Besides, if it hadn't been for this incident, she might not have had the chance to marry Chu Xiu. She should actually be grateful to Shi Chun Equinox.
"Hasn't the uncle already taken down the instigator? Even if the second master still fails to hold on in the end, the murderer should be the one I want to blame, not you." Ji Xiaoman said seriously.
Seeing the sincerity on her face, Shi Chunfen's heart calmed down, and he reached out and stroked her hair, "Thank you, Xiaoman."
Thank her for choosing to cooperate with her in concealing the truth immediately after the incident happened;
Thank you also for her willingness to stand up and save Chu Xiu even though she knew that there was no way back.
Even more grateful to her for choosing to believe in her and support her without hesitation at this time.
Without what Ji Xiaoman had done, Shi Chunfen would not have known how to face herself.
"Young mistress..." Lu Tao reminded outside the house: "The auspicious time is coming soon, and you should go to the Xitang to prepare."
"Okay." Shi Chunfen nodded slightly, quickly took out a box from his sleeve, placed it in front of Ji Xiaoman, and motioned for her to open it herself.
Ji Xiaoman opened it and saw a pair of heavy dragon and phoenix bracelets inside. His eyes widened instantly, "What is this?"
Shi Chunfen smiled and said, "This is the dragon and phoenix bracelet that I got when I got married. Today I am pressed for time and I don't have time to find someone to make a set for you, so I can only give this set to you first."
"This...how is this possible?" Ji Xiaoman quickly declined: "These are memories between you and the eldest son, how can you just transfer them to me casually?"
"There is nothing wrong with it." Shi Chunquin insisted: "The second master is the uncle's younger brother and a close relative of both of us. His wedding deserves the most sincere blessing in the world. Although this set of dragon and phoenix bracelets has been used once,
It contains all the happiness of me and the uncle. I hope to transfer this happiness to you and the second uncle. I wish the second uncle a speedy recovery and wish you a long life together."
After hearing this, Ji Xiaoman did not refuse and carefully put the bracelet away, "I understand."
She said firmly: "Second Master and I will definitely remember your blessings, and we will grow old together."
Shi Chunquin smiled, and then stood up contentedly, "Okay, it's time for me to get ready. You stay here alone and feel at ease. Someone will come to pick you up soon."
"Okay." Ji Xiaoman nodded slightly and watched Shi Chun leave the room.
When the spring equinox left, she looked at the dragon and phoenix bracelets on the table and pulled her lips mockingly.
I wish her a long life with a dying man, this woman can't think of it!
——
When I returned to Xitang on the spring equinox, the old lady and others had already arrived, but the Lord Huating had not come yet. He was probably too tired from the previous two nights, so he slept a little longer this afternoon.
Seeing her appear, the old lady waved to her to stand next to her and asked: "Xiao Man, has she thought clearly, but really wants to marry Ah Xiu?"
Shi Chunfen nodded quickly, "It's true. She has admired Ah Xiu for a long time. This time she is willing to marry in order to save Ah Xiu. She treats Ah Xiu sincerely."
"Exactly!" Cao Yingchun said mockingly from the side: "How sincere is it to marry a dying person for glory and wealth? I think she is obsessed with wanting to be the second young wife of the Chu family!"
"Yingchun!" Chu Gui frowned and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Aunt Liu echoed from the side: "The third lady's words are rude or not. Then Ji Xiaoman has never interacted with Ah Xiu. How could he come out at this time and be willing to celebrate his birthday? I don't know if there is any deceit in it?"
Seeing that their words were getting worse and worse, Shi Chunfen frowned and said, "Xiao Man is sincere, why do you have to treat her with such dirty thoughts? What's more, the second master is in danger now. Even if Xiao Man doesn't stand up, there is nothing wrong with him.
It’s promising, why not let Xiao Man give it a try?”
Seeing her rare moment of toughness, the old lady gave her a meaningful look and said lightly: "That's the only way it can be."
The auspicious time is coming soon, and Chu Xiu's health can't hold him back. If he doesn't let Ji Xiaoman marry him, is he really going to find a hen to worship him?
The old lady spoke up, and the others had nothing to say. They just looked at Shi Chunquin with more or less mocking eyes.
There are no secrets in the Chu family. On the day of Chu Xiu's accident, Ji Xiaoman also came out. These people can find out with just a little inquiry. Although there is no definite evidence to prove that the two things are related, seeing Shi Chunfen's current attitude
,What else don’t these human beings understand?
Whatever they can think of, the old lady can naturally think of.
Shi Chunfen worked so enthusiastically for Ji Xiaoman, but in the end I'm afraid he just made a wedding dress for others.
Regardless of whether Ji Xiaoman can please the old lady in the future, her status in the old lady's heart has already plummeted.
When Shi Chunfen saw the old lady's attitude, she had already guessed some clues in her mind, but the words had already been said and the team had already stood, so it was useless for her to talk back.
Anyway, from the moment she decided to lie to the old lady, she was destined to lose the old lady's favor.
Now it's just aggravating the result, she has nothing to complain about.
