Marrying the benefactor to my younger brother sounds like a good way to repay the favor, but it is actually a troublesome matter.
Firstly, the Xiao family was quite large, and as Xiao Qi's wife, she would have to interact with the other branches, right? If the little girl was of a poor family background, very pitiful, and illiterate, she would inevitably feel inferior when compared with her sisters-in-law.
Can the couple live happily?
Besides, Xiao Qi has done such a big thing with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, and his future is limitless. Even if he can tolerate a wife from a wealthy family when he is young, what about in a few years?
Wouldn't he blame this big brother for meddling in his affairs and causing him harm?
"I think, instead of giving the job to Qilangding's savior, it would be better..." The cousin smiled mysteriously, "The girl from my wife's family is really good. She's the eldest daughter, so she must be sensible and capable of managing the household. Instead of letting an outsider take advantage of her, why not find someone we know well? Don't you think so?"
After a long speech, the uncle looked at Xiao Cunyu with a smile.
Xiao Cunyu shuddered: "Who told you that I'm going to marry Miss Wen? Don't ruin her reputation!"
"Is that what people are saying outside? Your aunt heard people say this when she was visiting someone. They said that ever since Miss Wen came to your house, Qilang stopped going to the academy and has been buying things for your house all day long, including food, toys, and daily necessities... too many to count, all for Miss Wen." The cousin told the truth.
After hearing this, Xiao Cunyu froze in place, dumbfounded.
"The things I bought are not for her! I burned them for the dead. Even if I want to give them to her, she has to dare to accept them!" Xiao Cunyu was furious.
I thought my brother's innocence was about to be in jeopardy, but I didn't expect... it was her?!
a bolt from the blue!
Xiao Jingyun also turned serious. "Uncle, you misunderstood. My seventh brother is very respectful towards girls and doesn't often see Miss Wen. The two of them are innocent, and it's not what people say."
"But the rumor has already spread, and everyone believes it." The uncle grinned. "Qi Lang is young and full of vigor. Even if he had something going on with another girl before getting married, it wouldn't be a problem. At worst... he could just take her in as a concubine."
Xiao Cunyu became famous.
"Bullshit! It's all bullshit. She is our family's savior. How can she be a concubine? You underestimate me and my elder brother. She is supposed to be the ancestor of our family! If you don't believe me, I will enshrine her right now!" Xiao Cunyu jumped up in anger.
Without saying a word, he actually smashed the sword in his hand onto the small table next to his cousin.
There was a loud "bang" and all the tea bowls on the table broke into pieces.
The servants who followed my uncle into the house were all shocked, let alone this uncle!
He staggered up from the chair and hurriedly hid to the side, pointing his hands angrily at Xiao Cunyu: "Cheng, Cheng, what a mess! How can you treat a junior like this!?"
"You want me to take my eldest brother's savior as my concubine. No relative of mine would do such a shameless thing! I think you are a fake cousin. Tell me! Where did you hide my cousin? If you don't tell me, I will kill you!" As he said that, Xiao Cunyu rushed forward with a sword.
When my cousin saw this, his legs and feet trembled and he started to run away.
Xiao Jingyun was also frightened by his seventh brother's sudden seizure, so his reaction was a little slow.
Seeing his uncle staggering and the scabbard about to hit his head, Xiao Jingyun quickly took action to block Xiao Qi's attack.
"Brother, don't stop me! He must be possessed by a demon or something. Look, I'm going to take him in!"
