Chapter 14 Showdown



Shi Qingluo had actually saved his younger brother and sister, and reduced his fever, allowing him to wake up early, which was equivalent to saving his mother.

For his whole family, it is indeed a life-saving grace that is difficult to repay.

When he first woke up, he was worried that his mother and brothers and sisters were all dead, just like in his previous life.

Waking up now has actually missed the time point. If it weren't for Shi Qingluo, his younger brothers and sisters would have already followed the same path as in their previous life.

He couldn't help but feel extremely fortunate.

Therefore, the sudden appearance of such a daughter-in-law made him feel more helpless than rejecting or disgusted.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at his mother and asked, "Mom, Shi Qingluo is not from our village, right?"

"Besides, why would her family let her come to celebrate my wedding?"

Before he woke up, marrying into their family was probably like jumping into a fire pit.

In his previous life, he was also in a coma and heard the clan leader muttering that his mother, brothers and sisters were all dead, so he struggled hard to wake himself up.

Otherwise, I'm afraid all those people's wishes will be fulfilled.

This means that if Shi Qingluo marries, she will most likely become a widow.

I’m afraid my normal family members wouldn’t agree.

Mother Xiao replied: "Qingluo is the daughter of the Shi family from Shangxi Village."

"She is also a poor person. When she was a few years old, her family sent her to work in a Taoist temple. Not long ago, after the old immortal passed away, she returned home."

"A few days ago, I was almost sent by the Shi family to marry the young master of the Wu family and be buried with him."

"I just don't know if the Shi family felt guilty and took the initiative to go to the Wu family to cancel the engagement."

"I don't know exactly why the Shi family agreed. They just said that Qing Luo wanted to marry you, and they couldn't object."

Then she told Xiao Hanzheng exactly what Shi Qingluo had talked about with her and what happened when she went to Shi's house.

Xiao Hanzheng also remembered it after listening to it.

When he investigated the Wu family in his previous life, he found out that before his sister was taken to the Wu family to marry and be buried with her, the Wu family had originally chosen the daughter of the Shi family in Shangxi Village.

But the girl accidentally fell to death on the day the Wu family came to pick her up.

According to accurate information, the girl was killed when she was captured by her own mother.

That's why the Wu family increased the betrothal gift. When his vicious aunt and third aunt heard about it, they immediately sent their sister to be buried with her and got 150 taels of silver.

So Shi Qingluo was the dead girl? He was no stranger to the Shi family. Shi Qingluo's fourth uncle was his classmate in the county school and was a hypocrite.

He had also heard others talk about some things about the Shi family in private. How could a family like that feel so guilty as to cancel the engagement on their own initiative?

It is even more impossible for him to not ask for a betrothal gift, but instead send food as a dowry and ask the girls in his family to come to his family to bring good luck.

He asked again: "Shi Qingluo said she doesn't want a betrothal gift, and she can handle it herself at the Shi family?"

Mother Xiao nodded: "Yes, I was worried that the Shi family would be difficult to deal with, but who knew that the marriage would be so smooth."

"It must have been Qing Luo who did it." She could still see the Shi family's unhappy attitude.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "I see."

When he first heard that Shi Qingluo had saved his younger brother and sister, he actually doubted whether Shi Qingluo was the same as him.

Because she knew that he held a high position in his previous life, she deliberately saved him and took the initiative to ask to marry him.

But after listening to it, he realized that this should not be the case. According to the timeline of his previous life, when he woke up, Shi Qingluo had already died.

"That old immortal is Qing Luo's master, so she is also very powerful, and she is also a blessed person."

"You can wake up, Qingluo is your lucky star."

Xiao's mother emphasized, "Don't look down on her because she is a farm girl. Even if you pass the imperial examination in the future, you must not let her down."

She has always known that her son is an ambitious man, and especially after what happened before, she is afraid that he will be stimulated to work even harder.

But in her heart, Shi Qingluo is her benefactor, her daughter-in-law, and her lucky star, and she cannot let her down.

Xiao Hanzheng's eyes were full of helplessness. "I understand, mother. I won't despise her or let her down."

As for the official marriage regulations, in the early days he was displaced and no one took the initiative to care for him. In the later days he was in a high position and no one dared to force him to marry, so he never married.

Moreover, such regulations are mainly aimed at ordinary people. The government will not really force the nobles and dignitaries who are unmarried at a certain age.

But his mother was right, no matter what, Shi Qingluo was his family's savior.

Just for this reason, as long as Shi Qingluo doesn't betray or hurt her family in the future, he will treat her well.

When Xiao's mother heard her son's promise, she felt relieved.

She wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, stood up and said happily: "You just woke up, I'll ask Baili to make you some porridge, and I'll take Erlang to continue entertaining the guests."

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After Xiao's mother and the other two left, Xiao Hanzheng leaned against the pillow and closed his eyes.

He didn't know how long it was before he heard the door being pushed open and then he opened his eyes.

Then Shi Qingluo walked in holding a bowl.

Shi Qingluo walked up to Xiao Hanzheng and said, "Come, drink this."

This was the glucose she had just taken out from the space to replenish his energy.

Xiao Hanzheng took it and saw that there was water in the bowl.

Since Shi Qingluo had used medicine to reduce his fever before, there was no need for him to poison him now.

And as long as he takes it, he will know whether it is poison or not.

So without hesitation, I picked it up and drank it. Who knew it was not water, but sweet.

It doesn't taste like sugar either.

He asked, "What is this?"

Shi Qingluo replied: "Sugar water, to nourish your body."

"Thank you!" Xiao Hanzheng didn't even ask where she was from.

For some reason, he always felt that this Shi Qingluo was not like the girl who died of drug addiction in his previous life.

Everyone has his or her own secrets, including his, so there is no need to dig them out deliberately.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "We are a family for now, you're welcome."

Xiao Hanzheng raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean we are a family temporarily?"

Shi Qingluo smiled and replied: "Your mother should have told you why I married you."

"I want to get rid of the Shi family's wicked relatives, but I don't want to marry into a family with a large family living together and strong grandparents or parents-in-law."

"I am a strong person by nature. If others respect me, I will give them the same respect. But if they want to bully me, that is absolutely impossible."

She could see that Xiao Hanzheng was no ordinary person. Judging from the contrast between him and the clan leader and others he had just met, he was probably a white-and-black.

So since we are going to talk about it openly, we are all smart people, so there is no need to hide anything.

"To be honest, although I told others that I was willing to marry you to bring you happiness, it was because I fell in love with you."

She clenched her fist, put it to her lips and coughed softly, "But actually, I came here for your family. I think it suits me very well."

"After all, I didn't know you, let alone see you, before I got married."

"What I mean is that if we don't get along in the future, and you have a crush on someone or fall in love with someone else, we will get divorced."

"So we are a family for now."

She was laying her cards on the table now, wanting Xiao Hanzheng to know and rest assured that she would not rely on his family and him, and if they couldn't get along, they could just divorce, it was no big deal.

Xiao Hanzheng: “…” It turns out that this young wife is still thinking about divorce in the future.
