Xiong felt that she might really not be lucky with daughters. It would be fine if she couldn't give birth to a girl, but the girls she wanted to introduce to others would all suffer disasters when they fell into her hands.
It would have been fine if Dong Qiaoxin in front was just too greedy, but the one in front of me has a very good character, but his face is so hurt!
To be honest, she couldn't tell what the little girl originally looked like from her swollen face!
"Thank you, Madam Xiao. I'm fine. You don't have to worry too much. My parents were reluctant to let me get married. At worst, I can just stay at home and rely on them for the rest of my life." Lei Mulan didn't know whether she was comforting Xiong or herself.
Xiong looked at Xiao Cunyu.
She really liked this girl and originally thought that among so many portraits, it would be fine whether Xiao Qi chose Lin Ruoqiu or Lei Mulan!
If it was her own son, even if Lei Mulan was disfigured now, as long as she thought the girl was a good person, she would still marry her!
But Xiao Qi is her husband's nephew after all. If she forces him to marry the disfigured girl, what if he develops resentment?
Xiong sighed and blamed herself for having too few sons.
"How can you say such nonsense? It's just that your good fortune has not come yet. I will not let you suffer any injustice." Xiong comforted him.
It would be inappropriate to let a wounded person like her keep talking, so he immediately called a few maids over to help Lei Mulan rest.
As soon as Lei Mulan left, Xiong took a sip of tea and then slowly asked Xiao Qi, "How did you like it today?"
"It's a mess and I can't see clearly." Xiao Cunyu stammered.
Xiong's teacup landed on the table with a light clink.
The majesty of the elders immediately emerged.
Xiong pointed at the servant sent out to follow Xiao Cunyu and said, "You tell me!"
After the servant arrived at the Prince's Mansion, he was not allowed to mingle with the young men and women, and could only stand at a distance and watch.
In order to prevent Xiao Cunyu from concealing the truth, Xiong specially detained Tieyi at home and sent out a loyal servant of hers. The servant immediately stepped forward and told him everything that happened in the Prince's Mansion.
It was so detailed that every word that Xiao Cunyu said to everyone was recorded without missing a word.
Later, the scene where she and Zhuang Jiu hid under a piece of clothing was also described clearly.
"You still dare to say you lied to me? Other young men are trying hard to show themselves, but you are the only one who hangs out with that banker Jiulang! He is a man who can't even get married when he reaches adulthood. Do you still want to learn from him?!" Xiong was angry.
Xiao Cunyu retorted: "Second brother is almost an adult, and he still doesn't have a wife..."
"Your second brother is busy learning medicine and goes up the mountain and into the forest to pick herbs all day long. Do you think he doesn't want to marry? He's just afraid that he will neglect the girl!" Xiong felt that this child was too disappointing.
Shouldn't a young man of his age be unable to move his legs after seeing a girl?!
This guy has a good-looking face, but it’s useless. He can’t even trick a wife into coming back!
"Look at that Wu Jia Sanlang. Even when a bee is about to sting his eyelids, he still doesn't forget about his lifelong affairs. I will be satisfied when you can be as desperate as him!" Xiong thought about others and then about herself, and became more and more angry at his stupidity.
Sixteen is not young anymore.
"If I were really like that shameless thing, you'd be furious." Xiao Cunyu touched his nose. "There's no rush for this kind of thing. Maybe in another seventy, eighty, or ninety years, good things will happen."
“?!!” Xiong wanted to hit someone.
She thought seven or eight months was too late, and Xiao Qi wanted to calculate it by years?!
"What about Miss Lin? She's virtuous and kind, isn't that good?"
