Chapter 474 Weird and Abnormal Behavior

Xu's mother's idea is still just an idea, and it has not been refined yet. It has just taken shape. It is really because her little daughter is too gentle and has a good temper. Looking at the whole capital, she can't find a suitable family. If

she gets married with such a temper, she will easily suffer a loss.

Yi Cong is different. He is her own family. His father is her brother and his mother is her eldest sister-in-law. She knows him well enough. Moreover, Yi Cong is not the eldest son, so the pressure will be much less, and his wife does not have to bear the responsibility of the mistress of the family.

He himself is a person with a gentle and kind temper. He has no philandering heart and is a down-to-earth and stable person. He is not keen on women, because he has to prepare for the imperial examination, and there is still no woman in his backyard!

Such a person could not be more suitable than Jinyu.

Xu's mother planned to find an opportunity to talk to her husband about it while he was in the capital. If they had no objection, she would talk to her eldest brother and his wife, ask their opinions, and finally match the two children.

Xu Muhua didn't think much about what Xu's mother said at this moment.

Everyone sat and chatted for a while before going their separate ways to do their own things. Xu Muhua was also temporarily free.

She was about to go to her father and eldest brother to ask about the border affairs when Xu's mother called her.

"What's wrong, mother?"

Xu Muhua sat down again.

Xu's mother took her hand and asked, "You probably don't know yet, but the people from the Xu Mansion next door are back!"

Xu Muhua was startled, "Back, why did they come back suddenly?"

Speaking of this, she had to mention what happened that year.

At first, she was planning to settle accounts with her aunt, but it turned out that her uncle, who had never achieved much, was suddenly exiled!

Being exiled would be fine, it's not a big deal. What's puzzling is that her aunt wanted to go with him, saying that she was worried that her husband was keeping a mistress outside. This is not strange, but what is strange is that she also took Xu Yuyao, who was about to reach the age of marriage at the time, with her, which is very abnormal!

Although Xu Yuyao did some shameful things at the time, didn't the matter get out in the end? Staying in the capital, the chance of finding a good marriage is still relatively high.

But at this critical moment, she followed her father to the place where she was exiled, which is very puzzling.

In the end, only the eldest son who had already married was left in the capital, and the younger one was taken to the place where he took office.

Now you're back again?

That's not right. It's only been a short time. How come you're back again?

Xu's mother curled her lips, "They said they had made great contributions and were supposed to come back during the Chinese New Year. But then something happened and they delayed it until now. They also said they wanted to rush back to attend your wedding, but they missed it by just one day. They even sent gifts."

"Mom, why do I feel like something is wrong? What gifts did they send?"

Xu's mother lowered her voice, "The value of the gifts is quite high! I even suspected that they were fake. When have I seen them so generous? They sent a hundred-year-old wild ginseng and a hectoliter of pearls. Each of those beads is as big as your father's thumb, round and full, of even size, and very valuable."

Xu Muhua said in surprise, "So generous?"

Xu's mother nodded.

"Could it be that my cousin has embezzled a lot while in office?"

Mother Xu glared at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

After a pause, she said, "Even if you really suspect this, you can't say it out loud like this!"

In fact, she was also suspicious. Otherwise, how could they be so stingy to give such a good thing?

But the gift was given to them, and they accepted it. It would not be nice to turn around and criticize them.

But they didn't want to accept it at the time, as they always felt it was a bit weird. But they insisted on keeping it, saying it was a gift for Mu Hua, so it would be difficult not to accept it.

She thought about it and turned around to look in the warehouse to see if there was any suitable return gift. "So what great achievements have they made?"

Xu's mother shook her head. "It's not clear yet. They are so secretive and won't say anything. Your father can't find out either. We probably have to wait. But judging from this, his achievements must be quite significant, and the consequences must be quite large."

Otherwise, there would be no need to be so secretive.

Xu Muhua nodded, thinking that her mother was right.

"Since we are here, we should make the best of it. We just need to be careful."

But since we are back, shouldn't we find time to settle the old accounts?

"Also, Yuyao is actually looking for someone to marry over there!"

Xu's mother broke another big news.

After being shocked, Xu Muhua expressed her doubts, "Is it true? With her high standards, can she find someone to marry in a small place?"

As far as she knew, the place where her cousin was sent out was not a good place. Although it is not that poor and backward, it cannot be compared with the capital. The difference is too great!

Xu Yuyao is used to the prosperity and wealth in the capital. Can she find someone to marry in a small place? Even the local big families cannot compare with the nobles in the capital, unless she marries a famous and wealthy family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

Xu's mother sighed, "Who knows what the couple thinks?"

Maybe they have come to terms with the past, or maybe they see that Yuyao is old and it is unknown when she will return to the capital, so they are afraid that she will become an old maid, so they just find a marriage in the local area. Besides

, although Yuyao did that thing, although it was not spread, those who have a good relationship with her privately also know about it. In the capital, she could forget about finding a marriage with a high-class family. Even if she did, it might not be a good thing to marry into the family. Would the in-laws pretend that nothing had happened?

It would be better to find someone in another place whose details she didn't know, and maybe she could live a stable life there.

The more Xu Muhua talked about it, the more she felt that their family's behavior was abnormal!

As she thought about it, something in her heart moved, "Mom, is the place where my cousin was exiled very close to where my father and eldest brother are stationed?"

Mother Xu was stunned for a moment, "It can't be said to be very close. It will take at least half a month to get there by carriage!"

"Why do you ask this? Are you suspecting that they did something shady in the name of your father when they were exiled?"

Xu Muhua shook her head, "Not really, I just can't understand why my cousin was exiled when he was fine. With their personalities, even if they were exiled, they would try their best to stay in the capital."

In the end, they left without saying a word, too honest.

"This..."

Xu's mother didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, don't talk about them. Today is the day you return home, don't mention those people and things that spoil the fun."
