She held his hand and said solemnly, "Xiao Liu, I know you feel sorry for me, but don't say such things again, okay?
He is my husband. Since I married him, he is my boss. I have to consider his best interests and work for him.
I can't fall out with him. I have to make him happy so I can survive.
I am different from other women. If other women get divorced, at least they still have their parents' home.
No matter how much her parents cannot tolerate her, they can still find a new husband's family for her.
But you also saw my family.
It's good enough that you don't lie on top of me and suck all my blood, but how can you protect me at all?
I don't want to be here, but if I leave the Liang family, I really have nowhere to go. I will be tortured to death by them."
As she spoke, her eyes turned red and she lowered her head and rested her forehead on Qi Xiuyuan's shoulder.
Holding back tears, she said in a muffled voice, "Xiao Liu, there's no one behind me."
Qi Xiuyuan took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and held her hand.
He whispered, "Qiao Luoluo, if one day I am willing to be the one behind you and take you away, will you be willing to follow me?"
Qiao Luoluo raised his head suddenly.
Qi Xiuyuan himself is 190cm tall, and even with his collarbone he looks 170cm tall.
Qiao Luoluo needs to look up to him slightly.
But the determination in his eyes at that moment did not seem fake, and there was a blazing fire in his eyes.
Qiao Luoluo chuckled and reached out to pinch his chin. "How great would it be if you were a man? Just based on what you said just now, how many girls would have lost their hearts for you?"
Qiao Luoluo pretended to be joking, but Qi Xiuyuan didn't take it as a joke. He lowered his head and asked her, "What about you? If I were a man, would you be willing to lose your heart for me?"
Qiao Luoluo pushed her away and pointed her finger at his forehead, "Stop talking nonsense. Go back and change your clothes quickly. You have to go pay your respects to your mother-in-law later."
But her inner voice added in time:
[If you were a man, you would definitely be handsome and tall, unparalleled in the world.
If you treat me well and have good kung fu skills, I would be willing to marry you even if you were a poor peasant. It's a pity that you are a girl.
And I have already married someone I don't love, destined to waste the rest of my life.]
She deliberately flattered Qi Xiuyuan first and then said she was willing to marry him.
Then she narrated her miserable situation, acted like a weak little white flower, and played the role of a pitiful person being rescued.
Waiting for her prince to swing his sword to kill the dragon and rescue her from the sea of suffering.
The key point is that the phrase "someone I don't love" gave Qi Xiuyuan endless imagination and possibilities.
Fantasy, imagine, and self-strategize!
Finally, you will take my wife away. I will wait for you.
Qiao Luoluo changed her clothes, asked Qi Xiuyuan to go and rest, and took Qing'er, who had had a good sleep, to meet her parents-in-law.
My father-in-law is like an invisible man, and no one knows where he has gone. My mother-in-law and aunt are here.
Seeing Qiao Luoluo and Liang Yuxiao coming together, they immediately looked at each other and started to make things difficult for them in a sarcastic manner.
Qiao Luoluo patiently obeyed everything and served her mother-in-law, husband and aunt with great respect.
Serving tea, supporting, washing hands, setting the table, serving soup, no matter how big or small, he was considerate in every detail without being arrogant or impatient.
Even if my mother-in-law and aunt find fault with me, I can still handle it with ease.
The more Liang Yuxiao looked at it, the more satisfied he became. He also wondered if he had believed the rumors too much before. Now, it seemed that Qiao Luoluo was not as hateful as the rumors said.
Did I really not get to know her carefully before?
When rinsing my mouth after dinner, my mother-in-law complained that the tea was too cold and it would freeze my teeth.
Qiao Luoluo bit her lip aggrievedly and looked at Liang Yuxiao.
Liang Yuxiao rarely spoke up to help her, "Mother, don't blame her. This tea was prepared before dinner, so it's normal that it's a little cold now.
Next time, just simmer it on the charcoal pot."
Qiao Luoluo also quickly admitted her mistake, "Don't be offended, mother. This is my first time serving you, so I don't know the proper etiquette. I will definitely learn more in the future."
My aunt sneered, "How long will you study? If I let you study hard, how much suffering will my mother and I have to endure? Are you using us as a training ground? Didn't you serve your mother at home before?
You're making so many useless excuses. It's obvious that you don't want to be a good daughter-in-law to my family, so you're deliberately making things difficult for us."
Liang Yuxiao was speechless. In less than an hour after the meal, they had found fault with Qiao Luoluo more than twenty times.
Are you annoying?
He put down his chopsticks and said coldly, "Father doesn't like unrest in the house. What's the point of making such a fuss so early in the morning? If it gets to Father's ears, it will cause another uproar. Stop it."
Qiao Ruxue wanted to explode immediately, but when she thought about the fact that she had a crush on the Eighth Prince and wanted Liang Yuxiao to help her set them up, she stopped talking in order to avoid angering him.
But I dislike Qiao Luoluo even more.
Seeing that the situation was right and the time was ripe, Qiao Luoluo immediately took out a peace amulet from her purse and handed it to her mother-in-law.
"My daughter-in-law obtained amulets from Sanqing Temple for my father, mother, and aunt, hoping that everyone in our Liang Mansion will be safe, healthy, and happy.
May my parents-in-law live long, and may my aunt marry a good man and live a happy and healthy life."
My mother-in-law just glanced at the talisman and didn't even reach out to take it. She just drank her tea.
My aunt reached out and took it, playing with it with a sneer.
Liang Yuxiao's expression softened a bit as he explained, "This was something Luoluo requested personally. She prayed for the family, and I hope Mother will accept it."
The mother-in-law remained indifferent, but the aunt said, "You don't know how unlucky the family was during the days when she went to pray.
My mother has been haunted by nightmares day and night, and I have also encountered many accidents. Nothing good has happened since she came into the house. She is a disaster!
How can what she asked for be a peace talisman? I think it is a death warrant for our whole family!"
After saying that, he tore up the three pieces of talisman paper and threw them in Qiao Luoluo's face.
When the mother-in-law heard her daughter say this, she also felt disgusted and said, "You are really unlucky for us.
I'm afraid that what you prayed for at Sanqing Temple would bring bad luck to our family, right? You cursed the two of us old people to death, and Xiao'er became the head of the family, and you became the mistress.
Humph, you wish for it. Go and kneel down in front of the ancestral temple and don’t get up until dinner time.”
The corners of Liang Yuxiao's mouth twitched. He couldn't believe when his mother, who had always been gentle and kind, and his playful and lively sister, had become like this?
Sarcastic, fierce and cold.
She was not the mother and sister he knew at all!
She watched as Qiao Luoluo knelt on the ground, her body covered with the fragments of the amulet she had obtained by kneeling with her knees broken.
The hideous bruises on that slender leg appeared before his eyes again.
Last night, she endured the pain and stayed with him all night, rubbing his temples and singing for him...
Qiao Luoluo lowered his head, his body twitching, and tears fell.
After a long while, he choked up and said, "Yes, my daughter-in-law will go right away."
Liang Yuxiao pulled Qiao Luoluo up and said, "Okay, mother is just hard on the outside but soft on the inside. Go back to the East Courtyard and come back to serve me in the evening."
Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law slammed the table and said, "I'm not dead yet, and you haven't inherited the title yet. It's not your turn to make the decisions in this family!"
