"Grandma, do you want to tell me something?" Qiao Yuyan refilled the old lady's cup of tea, then sat obediently aside, waiting for her to speak.
"Your father was here just now. There are some things I can't tell you. There are only two of us now, and there is no need for me to beat around the bush." The old lady thought for a while, with a very serious look on her face, "Tell grandma that you really don't want to get married."
For the sixth son of the Wen family?"
Unexpectedly, her grandmother was still thinking about this matter, and Qiao Yuyan was stunned for a moment.
In fact, she had asked herself this question before. After asking herself carefully, the answer she got was, yes.
This is the best choice for her.
Since her rebirth, she has never thought about marrying anyone again, and she no longer has the fear of a real girl, unable to be tempted by a certain man.
She even planned how to get her family to accept her idea of combing her hair, but she couldn't prevent her family from being gossiped by outsiders.
And getting married to Wen Tingyuan was her best choice.
There is no so-called emotional bond, and there is no expectation of growing old together. They can be the best partners to live together.
In fact, Wen Tingyuan has always treated her very well, and she can still receive his selfless care.
And what she has to do is to do her best so that he has no worries.
It's just that this idea is too selfish. It was fate that pushed her into that situation before, but now, she has a choice.
Unexpectedly, the old lady didn't wait for Qiao Yuyan's answer, but just paid attention to her expression, and then said with a smile: "I know."
Qiao Yuyan was stunned, not quite understanding what her grandmother meant by "got it".
The old lady took her hand and sighed faintly, "Many people think that I don't like your mother very much, firstly because of her background, and secondly because she and your father have an affair that has not been explained to me.
Determined for life."
Qiao Yuyan didn't know why the old lady suddenly mentioned Qiao Weisheng and his wife, but she could only nod lightly.
But the old lady smiled and waved her hands, "Actually, it's all wrong. Your mother is indeed from a low background, but I don't care about this. What I don't like is her stubborn temper.
Not only is she stubborn, but she is also easily blinded by her paranoia. In fact, in my opinion, she is just not very smart.
As for the so-called private life-long decision, of course there is some dissatisfaction, but I am not dissatisfied with your parents' marriage. On the contrary, I am even a little happy for my child."
This statement was beyond Qiao Yuyan's expectation. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the old lady in confusion.
"Marriage is a marriage alliance between two people who are not related by blood, and they want to spend a lifetime together. If two people are not attracted to each other and sincerely agree, then this life will be too lonely.
Even though I don't like your mother very much, your father does. He has found the person he wants to spend his life with. I am his mother, so I am naturally happy for him, so how can I be dissatisfied?"
Behind the old lady's unfriendly temperament, there was such a sentimental heart, and Qiao Yuyan's heart became softer.
The old lady patted the back of her hand, "Although the old lady of the Wen family has a bad temper, and she was indeed cruel to their sixth child in the early years, and now she doesn't show any sign of remorse, but you don't have to worry!"
The old lady stared at her seriously, "If you get married, she won't make things difficult for you. I really don't understand her behavior, but she is not a person without success.
You are the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. For the future of the Wen family that she values most, she will not make things difficult for you. You can just marry her according to your own wishes."
"grandmother……"
Qiao Yuyan didn't know how to defend herself for a while and couldn't help but remain speechless.
"Why do you, a girl, worry about so many big things? Is there no one in the house? Your father and mother are still here! And I, an old woman, still have this bone, so you have to think about sacrifice first.
?”
Qiao Yuyan wanted to say that she didn't think so, but obviously, the current situation was not easy to explain.
After the old lady said these words, she seemed to feel much more relaxed, "Okay, you can go back too! A large number of guests are coming tomorrow and the next day. Your aunt... is also a hard-working person, so please be careful."
Qiao Yuyan didn't have much deep feelings for Yao, and there was more or less a grudge between the two.
But in her heart, Mrs. Yao is still a family member, and she is Qiao Yurong's mother. Now she died tragically, and in order to find out the truth, she didn't even bother to organize her funeral.
It is indeed a bit miserable. According to the calendar calculated by the Taoist priests, the last two days are suitable for funerals and condolences.
Those who came a few days ago were all relatively close relatives, and in the end there were really many people who came to pay their respects.
Except for Mr. Xu, who was inconvenient on such an occasion, and the old lady who was unwell, everyone else came out.
Finally, the last trip was quite lively.
Qiao Yuyan stayed with Qiao Yurong at the burial place for a day before returning to the city.
Originally she thought Qiao Yurong would be depressed for a period of time, but it turned out not to be the case.
Qiao Yurong was naturally sad, but because she personally found out the murderer of her mother, she seemed to have grown up a bit.
Many of the words her mother taught her in the past became clear in her mind.
"Sister, I won't be reckless again in the future."
Qiao Yuyan looked at her serious look and said nothing, just patted her shoulder.
Qiao Yuning did not attend Yao's funeral, but Wen Liang appeared with Princess Jiahe. On the surface, there was no sign of any disagreement between the couple.
Princess Jiahe even gave Wen Liang a lot of face in front of others, acting as if her husband was her first priority.
Looking at it this way, Qiao Yuning estimates that life after marriage will not be easy.
Within two days, Mrs. Wen came to the house with her son and daughter-in-law under the guise of visiting her.
In addition to Wen Qiong and his wife, there is also Wen Tingyuan, which is reasonable, after all, the Qiao family is his in-laws' family.
Half of the garden has been cleared, and it's a bit cold to sit in the waterside pavilion this season.
Old Mrs. Wen was very surprised to see the reception here, "Isn't your old lady sick? Isn't it difficult to recover from illness?"
Hearing Mrs. Wen's words, Qiao Weisheng turned his surprised eyes to Wen Tingyuan.
Has he ever told the Wen family about what happened that night?!
Wen Tingyuan nodded slightly, confirming what he was thinking at this time.
Wen Qiongyu obviously saw some tricks, "Does Brother Shi have something to discuss with us?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qiao Yuyan supporting the old lady and walking out to greet them.
The fact that the unmarried girl in the family was also here showed that something was unusual. Wen Qiongyu's eyes turned to Wen Tingyuan, and he helped his mother forward with a calm expression.
