Dong Qiaoxin seemed to have stopped breathing, her face pale: "Aunt, we don't want to leave!"
Her voice was urgent.
Mrs. Xiong said slowly, "My dear child, as a child, how can we not be filial to our parents? Our two families are not too far away from each other. If you miss your aunt in the future, just write a letter and I will send someone to pick you up."
Dong Qiao's heart ached. It was one thing to kick her out, but she couldn't even come back?!
What do you mean by writing a letter... Isn't it my aunt who has the final say on whether the letter is received or not?
Dong Jinming also wanted to speak, but he remembered his identity.
In the past, he had the right to be proud. After all, he was related to the Xiao family. But what about now? He was the son of the double concubine, and his seventh cousin was an insider. It was normal for the Xiao family to dislike him. He had a bad temper and was disobedient, but he also knew who would indulge him and who would not.
Moreover, he didn't want to stay in the Xiao family anymore.
Although his father was a bad person, he didn't kill anyone.
The aunt he had always respected and the sister in front of him were his mother's murderers. He didn't want to depend on her forever. It was too terrible.
Dong Jinming is still young after all, and the shock of his life experience is difficult for him to erase.
Xiao Cunyu could also see that this kid had played less with bugs because of this incident. He used to jump around, but now his face was filled with only one word: depressed!
But in terms of appearance...
Children's facial features change a lot. Dong Jinming's facial features were really bad before, but now they have improved a bit. So, naughty children like him need to be stimulated more!
"Aunt, you said before that you wanted to keep me here... and get married here." Dong Qiaoxin still didn't give up.
"Oh, this is my fault. Marriage is a big matter and it is up to parents to decide. Your father is still alive, so I can only look for a match for you. How can I make a decision without his permission?" Xiong was very determined to refuse.
Dong Qiaoxin's face was as pale as paper. Xiao Cunyu guessed that she was angry.
But Xiao Cunyu showed no sympathy for her, and even exaggerated, "So, my cousin won't be staying for many days? Tsk, it's so far away, we probably won't see each other for the rest of our lives, right? Really... Good... This dessert is well made, cousin. I will definitely remember you!"
Dong Qiaoxin couldn't help but glared at him with disgust.
Xiao Cunyu still had a cheeky smile on his face, baring his teeth and saying, "Then you can ask for a good fur today. You don't need to give gifts now. Just bring the fur home to your father. Your father will definitely be happy!"
Can you please shut up!
Dong Qiaoxin wanted to tear his mouth apart!
She was already so sad, yet Xiao Cunyu still said this to her. How hateful!
The meal was so dull that Dong Qiaoxin didn't know how she managed to get through it. After she finished eating, feeling almost dead, the carriages and horses were ready in the mansion.
Xiao Jingyun disliked Xiao Cunyu's fat horse for not being presentable enough, so he specially lent his own big black horse to Xiao Cunyu.
Compared with the fat horse, this big black horse is tall, with a shiny black body, a pair of extremely magical eyes, and strong muscles all over the body. Even its hair is much smoother than that of the fat horse.
This horse is not only good-looking, but also obedient. It is obvious that it has undergone rigorous training.
When it comes to equestrianism, Xiao Cunyu can't pretend either.
Who would believe her, a person who had been out and about all year, pretending to be afraid of riding a horse? So she could only accept her fate and climb up and sit down obediently.
"That's more like a human being. A real man should choose the best horse just like a weapon. Look at the one you raise. It's good for making soup, but it will be embarrassing to ride it out!" Xiao Jingyun was satisfied with Xiao Cunyu's obedience, but he also looked down on her previous aesthetic taste in a sarcastic way.
