Seeing Xie Wu smiling with soft eyebrows, Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Xie Wu and said to her sincerely, "Awu, aunt knows that you are a good boy! Your mother can't speak in front of the old lady. , but you are different. You see, you are the eldest granddaughter of the old lady, and you will get haircut soon. If you open your mouth, the old lady will not fail to give you this face."
"Auntie, what you said is absolutely true. If I tell my grandmother, she will naturally have no objection." Xie Wu curled her lips and looked at Mrs. Chen, nodding her head repeatedly.
When Mrs. Chen heard this, she couldn't hide the joy on her face. She smiled brightly and said, "That's right. Ah Wu, you are sensible."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Xie Wu's chuckle immediately sounded in the room.
Xie Wu's eyebrows were raised slightly, and a cold smile emerged from the corner of her mouth. She said, "But why should I say it?"
This turn of events came so unexpectedly that Mrs. Chen didn't even have time to take back the smile on her face. She was stunned for a while, then stood up and pointed at the tip of Xie Wu's nose and said angrily, "Xie Wu, what do you mean!"
"Sister-in-law, please don't be angry first, Ah Wu, Ah Wu must have her reasons for doing this! Ah Wu, right!" Mrs. Chen said while looking towards Xie Wu anxiously.
It's a pity that Xie Wu did not accept Mrs. Chen's love.
She stood up, raised her delicate chin slightly, and said to Mrs. Chen in a cold voice, "I have other things to deal with. If my aunt has nothing else to do, please forgive me and send her away not far away."
"Arui, look at the good daughter you raised, she is so disobedient to her elders, she is so treasonous!" Mrs. Chen pointed at the tip of Xie Wu's nose, her whole body trembling with anger.
After listening to her words, Xie Wu raised her eyebrows and smiled coldly, and said, "Auntie, what you said is too funny! You are disobeying your elders! If I really listened to your words, I would really be disobedient to my elders!"
"What do you mean!"
"My aunt just said something wrong. My good daughter was not raised by my mother. I was born and raised in the Hou Mansion. So, do you think I will cause trouble for my grandmother just because of your provocation? Yes! If this is really the case, then I am the real disobedient elder! Auntie, you think so!" Xie Wu raised her eyebrows, her voice was as cold as the lake water in winter, and her whole body was exuding a biting cold air. .
Mrs. Chen didn't feel anything yet, but Mrs. Chen next to her felt as if a five-flavor bottle had been knocked over when she heard Xie Wu's words. All the sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy surged into her heart.
"Ah Wu..." Tears welled up in Chen's eyes.
But no one in the room paid any attention to her.
Mrs. Chen was still unwilling to give up. She still struggled to convince Xie Wu. She gritted her teeth and said to Xie Wu with a look of resentment, "Ah Wu! I am planning this for you two! I am your biological aunt!"
No, Xie Wu suddenly sneered after hearing what she said, "Look at what my aunt said, it's true that you are my biological aunt, but isn't my grandmother my biological grandmother?"
"Ah Wu..." Mrs. Chen looked at Xie Wu, still unwilling to give up.
Xie Wu chuckled twice, raised her eyebrows and said, "Aunt, if you really think about my mother, then you shouldn't stay in the Hou Mansion! You should know that my grandmother has always looked down on me. Mother, now, with great difficulty, Grandma is willing to let go of her prejudices against Mother and teach her well, but you suddenly got involved. Originally, the person who was looking for a house was your aunt. Now that the house has been found, you suddenly regret it. If you refuse to move, what do you think my grandmother will think? Of course, my grandmother will not be angry with you, but my mother..."
"When did I say I would stay in the Hou Mansion and not leave!"
"It would be best if my aunt can figure it out. Anyway, it's the same if you leave early and leave late. You don't want to see your mother being hampered by your grandmother everywhere in the Hou Mansion, right?" Xie Wu looked at Mrs. Chen with a smile and said.
Looking at Xie Wu's impassive face, Mrs. Chen pursed her lips again and again. Finally, she suppressed the anger in her chest. She forced a smile and said to Xie Wu again,
"Ah Wu, what you said makes sense. It's just that my aunt didn't think it through well. It's just that it's your hair extension gift in just two days..."
"What does it matter? If my aunt moves out, she can come to my haircut ceremony just the same!" Xie Wu said with a smile on her lips at Mrs. Chen.
Speaking of which, even if Mrs. Chen didn't want to leave, she really couldn't find a suitable reason to stay.
She still has to use Chen and Xie Wu to pave the way for her two daughters, especially Xie Wu, so now is really not the time to break up with Xie Wu!
Therefore, now I can only take a step back.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen squeezed out an even bigger smile on her face, "Ah Wu, you are right. Just now, I was distracted for a moment!"
Xie Wu pursed her lips and smiled, "In that case, do my aunt and two cousins need me to take you back?"
"No, no, no, I know you're busy, let's go back by ourselves." Mrs. Chen said and stood up with a smile.
As soon as Mrs. Chen stood up, the Chen sisters, who had been sitting on pins and needles for a long time, hurriedly stood up. Especially Miss Chen Si, whose pretty face turned red, and her snow-white teeth bit her lower lip with a red mark.
Xie Wu only glanced at her lightly, but when her eyes passed Miss Chen San, Xie Wu was slightly surprised.
Because there was no expression on Miss Chen San's face, she was as cold as if nothing had happened just now.
Looking at this cold and indifferent face, Xie Wu immediately remembered that her third cousin did indeed marry high in the end. She married Shi Qi, an old man from the Ministry of Civil Affairs!
However, at that time, Shi Qi was frightened by a wild wolf that suddenly jumped out of his horse while hunting in autumn. In the end, one of his legs was bitten off.
Later, the Minister of Civil Affairs fell and his mansion was burned to the ground.
Her third cousin seemed to have died in the fire.
She heard all this from Lu Zhan, but she didn't feel anything at the time. At that time, her mind was full of hatred, and she really had no time to spare for her third cousin, whom she had never met a few times.
tearing up.
She couldn't shed tears either.
After sending Mrs. Chen and her daughter away, Xie Wu walked up to Mrs. Chen and sat down next to her. She raised her hand and poured herself a cup of tea. After the tea had cooled down a bit, she reached out and picked up the tea cup on the table.
"Ah Wu, you, do you have something to say to me?" Finally, under Wu Qing's hint, Chen took the initiative to look at Xie Wu and spoke.
It was rare for Mrs. Chen to take the initiative to speak, so Xie Wu chuckled. She put down the tea cup in her hand and finally looked at Mrs. Chen with her twinkling eyes, "Don't you have anything to say to me, mother?"
"I, I, what do I want to say..." Mrs. Chen lowered her head in panic.
"Did aunt really come to the capital for my eldest cousin's scientific examination?" Xie Wu didn't give Chen any chance to dodge. She looked at Chen and said directly.
"Yes, of course."
"Madam, I have already told the girl my uncle's intention." Wu Qing finally couldn't help but stand up. She looked at Mrs. Chen with hatred and said, "Madam, do you think you promised your uncle my wife?"
You can do it yourself!”
Mrs. Chen was speechless for a moment.
She didn't know many ladies in the capital, and she didn't even have any friendships with them, let alone any houses with suitable unmarried young masters.
"It's not like you don't know my uncle's temper. If you don't tell me now, you will have to ask the girl to come out and help you deal with the aftermath!" Wu Qing became even more angry when she saw Mrs. Chen didn't speak.
Madam's temperament may sound generous and kind at best, but at worst, she may be stupid and cowardly!
But we are not in Ningxia now!
If she doesn't learn to stand up, what will happen when the older girl gets married?
The more Wu Qing thought about it, the more anxious she became for Chen. If she wasn't afraid of being offended, she would have really wanted to run up and shake Chen awake!
"I just said that casually at the time, and I didn't expect that I would return to the capital so soon..." Mrs. Chen defended herself aggrievedly.
In fact, it's not that Chen has never thought about this, but she thought that she would always stay in Ningxia with Xie Zheng. Even if she wanted to come back, it would be many years later. By then, her two nieces would not be able to wait to get married, but
Who would have thought that she would return to Beijing early, and the sister-in-law kept remembering her words and took her daughter to Beijing without even saying hello.
"So, is mother the aunt who promised verbally, or..."
Mrs. Chen shook her head hastily, "No, I sent a letter to your aunt at that time."
"Then you believe it?" Xie Wu asked again.
Mrs. Chen shook her head again. She frowned and looked at Xie Wu with a strange look on her face. "Xin? Wu, why are you asking Xin?"
Xie Wu did not answer her question. She just said, "Didn't my aunt tell you where the letter is?"
Mrs. Chen shook her head again and said, "No. However, it has been several years, so the letter should have been lost long ago!"
lost……
Did Mrs. Chen think that Mrs. Chen would be as stupid as she was? This letter was related to the future of her two daughters, how could she throw it away!
Xie Wu curled her lips and smiled coldly, then she raised her eyes and looked at Wu Qing.
Wu Qing understood immediately, and she saluted Xie Wu solemnly, and then said, "Miss, don't worry, when my uncle and his wife are packing things tomorrow, I will pay attention to it."
Xie Wu nodded, "If you have any clues, just come back and tell me."
The Marquis Mansion was not suitable for taking action. He had to wait for them to move out, and then wait for her hair extension ceremony. Otherwise, if her aunt was forced to jump over the wall, her face would not look good.
"Yes, girl, I understand." Wu Qing hurriedly responded.
Seeing Wu Qing's smiling face, Mrs. Chen finally understood. She looked at Xie Wu timidly and asked tentatively, "Wu, are you worried that your aunt will threaten me with that letter?"
"Otherwise?" Xie Wu raised her eyebrows and asked Chen.
The corners of Chen's lips moved, and she pondered for a long time before timidly saying, "Your aunt would never do this. After all, we are still a family."
Xie Wu looked at Mrs. Chen and sneered, but she ignored her words.
If Mrs. Chen had treated the Chen family as a family, this farce would not have happened today!
For the sake of looking after her relatives, it's not like she couldn't help Mrs. Chen. As long as she was honest and didn't have any intention of trying to get ahead of Mrs. Chen, she would be able to help with a little help.
However, she tried to provoke Mr. Chen again and again!
There are things about the past life again.
She really didn't like this aunt.
"If mother feels that there are few people in the family, it doesn't matter. Soon, there will be one more person in our courtyard." Looking at Mrs. Chen's ignorant look, Xie Wu suddenly felt an unreasonable boredom in her heart for some reason, and she seduced
He pursed his lips, but before he could react, the words came out of his mouth.
"There is one more person in the courtyard? What kind of person is there?" Ms. Chen still didn't understand what Xie Wu said. She opened her eyes and looked at Xie Wu curiously.
The corners of Xie Wu's lips suddenly curled up, and she raised her eyebrows. Then, a cold voice sounded in the room, "Don't you know, mother? Grandma is making arrangements to find an aunt for father."
Xie Wu's words were like a thunderclap, which made Chen unable to recover for a long time.
Seeing Chen's shocked look, Xie Wu sneered twice, and then, without even looking at Chen, she turned around and walked out of the door.
