When Mrs. Qi saw her appearance, instead of feeling anything wrong, she felt heartbroken.
"You haven't been eating well lately? Why do you look so thin again?"
When Mother Liang heard this, she really looked at Xie Shuhua. She really didn't know how her wife figured out that the third girl had lost weight again.
The waiter said at the side: "Since the two people were beaten outside, we girls have no appetite to eat. We often say that in this family now, not only are we not as pampered by the master and the wife as before, but now we actually feel like
It’s like guarding against thieves.”
When Mrs. Qi heard this, she quickly said: "What do you say? Don't think nonsense! It's all your father, I... don't worry, when your matter is settled, he will definitely remove those two people."
Xie Shuhua has not said a word since Qi entered the door. She just sits at the table with a cold face, fiddling with the papers on the table as if she is bored.
It wasn't until this moment that she finally had some reaction. She immediately turned to look at Qi, "Have you made a decision for me?"
Mrs. Qi's eyes immediately dodge, but when she saw Mother Liang's eyes from the corner of her eye, she could only turn around and said, "Shu'er, Mom knows that you feel uncomfortable, and Mom feels uncomfortable too!"
As she spoke, her voice was still choked with sobs, and tears fell from her eyes, "I have worked hard to raise you to such a big age. I have invited various gentlemen to teach you since you were a child. To put it bluntly, you are better than the royal family."
Princess, you have nothing to lose!
Do you know what your mother is thinking? Your mother is always looking forward to you flying up the branches! It’s not that your mother wants you to achieve some glory for your mother, it’s that she thinks you are worthy of it! You are like this now, Shu’er, do you believe it?
Mother, mother feels even more uncomfortable than you!"
Xie Shuhua finally couldn't help but burst out. She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Qi, "Then go and say it! Go and tell your father, go and tell the old lady! Why didn't you say a word? You said it so nicely, you said
What's the use of listening to me?!
You are a legitimate wife of the Xie family, and your natal family is not an ordinary family. Do you think you have such no weight in the house now?
I am your daughter, and you just let me be bullied like this?! Just let people bully me? Who else can I expect in this life? From the beginning to the end, I only regard you as my mother, but now, even
If you don’t care about me, then what’s the point of my life?”
As he talked, he finally burst into tears.
Mrs. Qi was heartbroken and couldn't help crying. The mother and daughter wept at each other.
Mother Liang stood aside several times and wanted to interject a word or two for her wife, but looking at Xie Shuhua's appearance, she finally swallowed her words.
Faced with her daughter's complaints, Mrs. Qi also felt aggrieved.
She had no choice at all. Xie Yuncang didn't discuss it with her at all. Even she herself didn't know why she had reached this stage. Unexpected accidents happened again and again, which made her become a transparent person in this house.
Not to mention Xie Shuhua complaining about her, even she herself hated herself for being incompetent.
In the end, she could only cry and say: "Shu'er, if you want to blame, blame your mother! It's all your mother's fault, it's all your mother's uselessness, she can't protect you, and she can't help you."
Such complaints are of no use, they are just two people crying against each other for a while.
When the two of them gradually stopped, Xie Shuhua asked calmly: "So, what kind of good husband did mother choose for me?"
Such sarcastic words fell into Qi's ears, which was even more uncomfortable than whipping her.
But she knew in her heart that it was her daughter who was suffering more, so she could only endure it and barely show a smile.
"Mom has thought about it carefully, and Mr. Shang is indeed the most suitable candidate. Although his family is not rich and his father is only a sinecure, he is a fifth-grade Beijing official, and his family has already moved here.
There is an elder brother above him who has become his biological child. Although he is still a prison student now, he can become a minor official in our family when the time comes.
It’s not a problem if the place at home is narrow. When the time comes, mother will buy you a big house and your whole family will move in. As for my uncle..."
When Xie Shuhua heard this, she suddenly sneered, "You're calling me uncle now?"
This sentence made Ms. Qi's face look a little embarrassed, and she said warmly: "As for Mr. Shang, he is about to go to another place to serve as a county magistrate. I think this is also a good thing.
With our family background, it is impossible for the merchant to let you set rules at home. The newlyweds will naturally go to the same place. You and his wife will be as far apart as the sky and the emperor, and you will live a good life for three years.
It's time to let your father run it, and then he will be transferred back to the capital."
Once this kind of thing was spoken, the next words seemed much more logical. When Qi saw that she had finished speaking, Xie Shuhua's face did not improve at all, and she shed tears again, "I know that such conditions are not good for you.
It’s really unfair, but... we don’t have to choose!”
Xie Shuhua seemed to slowly come back to her senses. Surprisingly, she no longer looked as sad as before.
Mrs. Qi just thought that she was finally persuaded by him, and she quickly smiled and said: "I see that Mr. Shang is also a self-motivated person. He gets along very well with your second brother. I think he is not an ordinary person.
With the help of people like us, it will be a matter of time for you to make achievements in the officialdom in the future. As for money, my mother is here! You also have a few shops in hand, and I bought some real estate for you some time ago.
You and your wife have spent enough."
At this point, she thought of a new reason, "Moreover, as a person who has lived here, I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Marrying low also has the advantages of marrying low. At least this husband-in-law does not dare to act randomly, say or do anything.
, it all depends on what you mean, speaking of which, it may not be as good as marrying high."
It's a pity that after talking for so long, Xie Shuhua still didn't say a word, which made Qi not sure what her attitude was.
There was an awkward silence in the room. Mrs. Qi looked at Mother Liang, but Mother Liang motioned for her to ask Xie Shuhua.
"Shu'er, please... say something! If you have any other ideas in your heart, as long as mother can do it, I will definitely do it for you, including your dowry and so on."
Thinking of the dowry, it was originally prepared for her to become a princess, but now there are many things in it that are no longer needed.
Xie Shuhua glanced at Mother Liang, then turned to Mrs. Qi, "What else can mother do for me? Mother can't do anything for me what I want in my heart, can I?"
There was clearly a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
This is something Qi has never seen in her daughter.
"Then... where is Xie Songhua? After kicking me out, it's her turn, right? She was born on the same day as me, so even if she gets married on different days, it should be about the same time, right?"
Mrs. Qi was speechless again, and could only murmur for a long time: "Well...your father has other plans."
Xie Shuhua immediately sneered, "It's true that he is his biological son, so why should he bother Mr. Ci Fu to take care of it himself?"
Such words were undoubtedly digging into Qi's wounds, but facing Xie Shuhua, she couldn't do it.
"Then I'll ask you, Mother, to find out what kind of marriage my father has arranged for Xie Songhua!"
