Chapter 341 There has never been a substitute!

"Mother, do you still remember the engagement we made when we were still young?"

"Brother Xiao..." The female ghost who had been floating nearby trembled slightly when she heard the words, and approached Madam Xiao with full of anticipation.

This should be her mother-in-law!

???

Old Madam Xiao stared at Xiao Yichuan in confusion: Aren’t you going to divorce your wife?

Why did he suddenly ask this out of the blue?

She was stunned by the question, and a complex expression flashed across her face...

"Didn't you blame me and your father for arranging a marriage for you and kept asking to cancel the engagement?"

"I refused to agree to anything, but you didn't say a word and just ran off to the border without telling me!"

This rebellious son left for several years... He was her only son... She hasn't had a good night's sleep since then!

The female ghost's body trembled violently.

It turns out...it turns out that when she was about to come of age, the invitations to the ceremony had been sent to the Xiao family, but Brother Xiao suddenly fled to the border, just to avoid her?

An indescribable chill quickly spread, and the temperature in the room suddenly dropped several degrees.

But why?

They had never met, she hadn't done anything against the will of heaven, and she hadn't ruined her reputation, so why did he hate her so much?

Could it be...could it be that he changed his mind at that time?

The female ghost turned her head abruptly, her resentful gaze fixed on Yan Tinglan: "It must be this vixen!!"

When Mrs. Xiao thought about her son's marriage, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

This rebellious son has been rebellious since he was young!!!

She glared at Xiao Yichuan angrily, "It's been three years since you left home. In order to get you back to Beijing earlier, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and help you break off the engagement."

"But that family was also stubborn. Not only did they refuse to agree, they even took out a portrait of the girl and said they wanted you to see it with your own eyes, and asked me to persuade you again..."

"Dad...Mom..." The female ghost felt a pang of sadness in her heart...tears rolled down silently.

She had already passed away by then, and it was hard for her parents to know anything about it. They waited for her anxiously and tried their best to keep her engagement!

"Later, you met Yan Tinglan, who was disguised as a man, in the army. You immediately fell in love with her and rushed back to the capital, telling me that you would marry no one but her!"

Madam Xiao said, sighing deeply, "I don't really hate your Alan. I'm just afraid that her joining the army in her father's place will sow the seeds of trouble..."

"After you came back, you went to their house and asked for the engagement token without any hesitation, causing chaos in their house..."

"When that family refused to return the token, you claimed they were ruining your reputation, claiming they had no evidence... You even took the matter to the authorities and had the marriage called off in public!"

The old lady recalled the scene and couldn't help shaking her head. "When you broke off the engagement, in order to protect your daughter-in-law from future criticism and injustice, you forced her to write a nearly thousand-word explanation. You completely offended that family!"

"I don't even know how I'm going to explain this to your father when he goes to hell!"

As Old Madam Xiao spoke, she began to wipe away her tears.

Feeling aggrieved.

"......" Xiao Yichuan straightened his back unconsciously, and his eyes quietly glanced at Yan Tinglan beside him.

Did you hear that? What's with the idea of ​​a body double?... I, your husband, have never even seen that woman!

After calming down, he suppressed his grievances and asked, "Mom, since you've seen that girl, tell me the truth, does she look like Alan?"

Madam Xiao sneered and said subconsciously: "That girl is so timid and petty, she is not worthy of being on the stage. How can she compare to a fierce woman like you..."

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she caught sight of Yan Tinglan's raised eyebrows and glared at her, so she quickly changed her tone and said, "That girl has a face that looks like a peaceful country. Not to mention her facial features, even her face shape is not even a little bit similar to your wife's."

The female ghost raised her hand in disbelief and lightly touched her face...Is there something wrong with the eyes of this old lady Xiao?

"mother......"

"What happened again?!"

The old lady frowned, her impatience evident. "Back then, I asked you to marry me, but you refused to do so. Now she's already married and has children. She's probably a grandmother now, and you're asking?"

Is it annoying?!

???

The female ghost became more and more confused as she listened.

She had been dead for over twenty years. How could she get married? How could she become a grandmother?

When Mrs. Xiao saw her son staring at her with eyes wide open and not looking at her with a friendly look, she felt a chill in her heart.

Really... Does this unfilial son think of her as an enemy?

She rolled her eyes at Xiao Yichuan and muttered, "Besides, that girl's portrait has been carefully kept in your study. If you can take it out and look at it yourself, you'll know whether it looks like her or not. Why do you keep asking me?"

Looking around, the old lady went to look for the portrait in a bad mood.

The ghost girl's soul suddenly stiffened.

Her portrait...has been kept in Brother Xiao's study?

But what they just said...?

She suddenly became a little confused and kept hitting her head.

But she soon figured it out...Brother Xiao had her in his heart, maybe he sensed her death...In order to continue the family line and to fulfill his filial piety, he had to marry someone else!

She was Brother Xiao's white moonlight. Brother Xiao had always kept her portrait. In the dead of night, he would secretly look at it again and again, feeling sad...

......

Soon, a yellowed portrait was spread out on the table.

Everyone's eyes compared the portrait with Yan Tinglan, and finally everyone nodded in agreement.

The woman in this portrait really doesn't look at all like Madam Xiao!

Xiao Tangbao raised his eyebrows and looked at the female ghost, and saw that her blood-red eyeballs suddenly fell out of her eye sockets and hit the portrait directly!

“No! This isn’t me!!”

The shrill ghost howl made Xiao Tangbao's ears itch, and the female ghost's soul shook violently, almost collapsing in the next moment.

"This is my half-sister! It's that bitch!!"

Looking at the woman in the portrait, no matter how narcissistic this female ghost is, she can no longer deceive herself!

Yan Tinglan...has never been her substitute!

She finally understood why she had never heard of anyone looking for her...

Because they don't care about her at all!

Not only that, before her body was even cold, they were already impatiently using the portrait of their concubine's sister as a substitute in an attempt to steal the marriage contract of her, the legitimate daughter!

They wanted that concubine's daughter to take her place and marry into the Xiao family...

They never thought about her!
