Chapter 58: All Poor People
Unfortunately, Xiao Nianzhong and Long Xuan didn't understand what Jiang Jiu wanted to say. They both looked at her with clear and stupid eyes.
"so?"
Long Xuan asked tentatively.
"So she definitely doesn't really want to be my concubine. She has someone else in her heart. She must be forced into this now. Someone is forcing her."
Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and added.
"No, maybe it's not someone, maybe it's responsibility or the expectations of my parents."
She couldn't be sure whether Liu's parents had said something to Liu Xueer, or whether Liu Xueer had simply been severely brainwashed and tacitly accepted that she should do so.
Since he didn't have the talent to cultivate immortality, he could no longer have any connection with the 'Brother Xiao Ding' she mentioned.
Now that she has appeared, as the Fairy Qingyuan, she is the most powerful fairy that Liu Xueer can come into contact with, so she will naturally find ways to stay by her side.
In their eyes, they are immortals, and what flows out from the fingers of immortals is enough to ensure the Liu family's eternal prosperity for thousands of years.
"Your understanding is that she doesn't actually want to be your concubine, so you can take advantage of this loophole, right?"
Xiao Nianzhong understood.
"Well, it's like this. We need to test Liu's parents and see their attitude. The Dragon King's Tears are in their hands. It will definitely not work if we just deal with Liu Xue'er."
Jiang Jiu was very sober. Although he had figured things out, the best situation was that he could put it to use.
If there is no effect in the end, then it would be a waste of time.
"They probably also want to cling to me and find an exchange that they can accept."
This is what Jiang Jiu is most worried about. If it is just to allow Liu Xueer to practice Taoism, it would be fine. But if Liu's parents are unwilling to let Liu Xueer leave, then things will be troublesome.
There are no male descendants in the Liu family, so Liu Xueer threw a bouquet to find a son-in-law.
If Liu's parents regard her as a life-saving straw, and she takes Liu Xueer away in the future and still wants the Dragon King's Tears, she will have to exchange it for money many times.
If Liu's parents also hope that Liu Xueer can achieve success overnight, their attitude will definitely be very good and things will become very simple.
"Why would you...want a mortal woman to cultivate immortality?"
Long Xuan didn't understand Jiang Jiu's idea, so he asked directly.
"She has no control over herself in the mortal world and can't be with the person she loves. There's a wall between the world of cultivation and the human world. Her 'Little Brother Ding' is gone, and she may never see him again in this lifetime."
"But if she embarks on the immortal path, she'll have the opportunity to choose. Regardless of whether she can rekindle her relationship with 'Little Ding', at least she won't be as passive as she is now and can do more of the things she likes."
Jiang Jiu didn't want lovers to get married, she just wanted Liu Xueer to live a freer life.
"oh."
Long Xuan nodded, not quite understanding what he meant, as if agreeing to Jiang Jiu's words.
...
With a goal in mind, Jiang Jiu's contact changed from Liu Xueer to Liu's parents. He would find opportunities to chat with them, but would not mention the matter of 'Dragon King's Tears'.
"Ms. Xue'er is a very good girl."
Jiang Jiu sat in the pavilion, talking calmly with Liu's mother. There was a pot of tea on the stone table.
"Yes, she has been very sensible since she was a child and never gave us any worries."
When Liu's mother spoke of this, her tone was filled with sorrow, as if she was recalling something.
"I heard she grew up on a farm?"
Jiang Jiu asked.
"She even told you this. This is indeed our negligence. There is nothing we can do. At that time, the Liu family's business was unstable, and we had to run around for this. We couldn't bring her with us."
When Liu's mother said this, she looked a little guilty, but in Jiang Jiu's eyes, the guilt was somewhat superficial.
"Later, when the Liu family became wealthy, they took her back."
She said it truthfully.
"You and Mr. Liu didn't have any children afterwards, right?"
Jiang Jiu asked pointedly.
As expected, Liu's mother's expression became stiff for a moment, and her look was a little unnatural.
"It's not bad to have only one daughter."
She avoided the main point, but Jiang Jiu realized that it was not that the two did not want a new child, but that they were unable to have one, so they had no choice but to take Liu Xueer back to their side.
It seems that they don't love Liu Xueer very much either.
"But it's better to have a son to inherit the family business."
Jiang Jiu deliberately spoke in line with Liu's mother's thoughts, trying to make her let down her guard.
"Alas, who said it wasn't? What a pity..."
When Liu's mother saw that Jiang Jiu didn't seem to show any abnormal expression, she began to relax and reveal her true nature.
"But she is lucky to have met an immortal like you. If you are willing to take her as your concubine, it will bring honor to the family and she will be on par with men and be included in the family tree."
Her words made Jiang Jiu's mouth twitch uncontrollably.
Liu Xueer had to do so much to be able to be compared with a son who didn't exist? It sounded a bit absurd.
"A woman doesn't have to marry into a wealthy family to realize her worth. I imagine you, too, once wished to be with the one you loved, right?"
Jiang Jiu couldn't control his modern thinking after all and said a few more words.
"The past has long since vanished into thin air. Now, I have spent more than a few years with the master, and I am happy."
Mother Liu looked dazed for a moment, her expression a little forced, as if she was remembering something on her mind, but she still maintained a stubborn tone.
"Um."
After Jiang Jiu got the information he wanted, he began to become absent-minded.
Liu Xueer's parents don't love her, so it might be difficult for them to ask to take her away from Xiuxian.
After all, if she is to be taken as a concubine, she will need to have a certain connection with the Liu family, but if she is to be taken to practice Taoism, her relationship with Liu Xueer will become that of a guide and a beginner.
It's just to introduce her to the world, there's no need to be responsible for her life.
"Eh? Mother, why are you and Fairy Qingyuan..."
Liu Xueer's voice sounded from a distance, bringing Jiang Jiu back to his senses. Looking up at her young and beautiful face, Jiang Jiu sighed silently again.
"I'm chatting with the fairy for your own good."
Mother Liu quickly glanced at Jiang Jiu, then looked at Liu Xueer again with a reproachful look in her eyes, as if to say, "Why haven't you dealt with the immortal after such a long time?"
The smile on Liu Xueer's face suddenly faded a little. She was originally in a good mood, but now she looked like a flower wet by the rain, and she looked indescribably embarrassed in an instant.
"Mother, I know, you don't need to tell me."
Perhaps she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Jiang Jiu, so she disobeyed her mother's words for the first time.
"Hey, you kid!"
When Liu's mother saw Liu Xueer's uncooperative attitude, her face suddenly turned ugly. She pointed at Liu Xueer with the silk in her hand, without any intention of respecting her wishes.
"Wait, Miss Xue'er wants to talk to me."
Jiang Jiu immediately interrupted, not wanting Liu Xueer to be scolded too badly.
