Chapter 557 The Future of the Yue Family

After Bai Xiaofeng asked carefully, he found out that it was Zhou Jijiu's family.

Bai Xiaofeng was so angry that her nose became crooked!

At the moment, the only women in the family who were not pregnant were Bai Xiaofeng and Su Rouer. Bai Xiaofeng slammed the table loudly and complained to Su Rouer:

"Okay, what does Zhou Jijiu's family mean?! When our Liu Ge'er won the first place in the imperial examination, her family told me in a pretentious tone that their daughter was a treasure and that they wanted me and the mother-in-law to take care of her after she got married. I politely refused, saying that our family is just an ordinary family and filial piety is the most important thing. How can you expect the elders to take care of you before you even get married!"

Su Rouer was also very angry: "Yes, it is common for two families to reject each other when discussing marriage. How can this be possible? You are so careless and use the banner of Liu Ge'er's future in-laws. What does this mean? ... Second sister-in-law, don't blame me for being nosy. You have to be more careful when dealing with people like this."

Bai Xiaofeng was already very excited, and with this anger, his emotions became even more intense. He drank two bowls of tea before he calmed down. The servant who came with him said, "Go and invite them in!"

Bai Xiaofeng sneered: "I want to see how they have the nerve to call themselves the future Yue family!"

——Bai Xiaofeng had never expected that when Zhou Jijiu's wife saw her, she was so affectionate. She first called her "Sister Bai" and then came over to hold Bai Xiaofeng's arm, just like a real sister. Her smile was prettier than the flowers: "I came to congratulate you. Sister Bai is so lucky to have such a good son!"

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. He was smiling so much and so enthusiastically, even if he was as sharp as a white phoenix, he was stunned.

It was Su Rouer, who was sitting nearby, who coughed. Bai Xiaofeng then came to his senses and, with a stern face, struggled to free his arm from the armrest of the lady of the chief priest's arm.

"Madam Zhou..." Just as Bai Xiaofeng opened her mouth, the wife of the chief priest smiled and praised Yu Yongliu with emotion: "At that time, my husband taught Liu Ge'er in the Imperial College. He often praised him to me, saying that Liu Ge'er had great talent and was definitely not an ordinary person. I must be a good teacher to live up to Liu Ge's amazing talent. Now, isn't it just as my husband said that Liu Ge won six prizes in a row?"

Su Rouer felt something was wrong when she heard this.

It was Bai Xiaofeng who reacted faster. The wife of the chief priest was talking about the kindness that Zhou the chief priest had shown her in teaching at the Imperial College!

Daxia adheres to the principle that a teacher is a father for life. I wonder if Zhou Jijiu is planning to use this to force Liu Ge'er!

Bai Xiaofeng said with a fake smile: "...At present, our Brother Liu has not returned yet. When he returns from the Qionglin Banquet, I think he will definitely hold a banquet to thank all the teachers. However, I have something to ask Madam Zhou first. Just now, the gatehouse seemed to have misheard. How come Madam Zhou said that it was our Brother Liu's future in-laws?... This is not right, Madam Zhou, we haven't even exchanged business cards, how can it become the future in-laws? I am not worried about my Brother Liu's reputation, but your daughter is still going to get married. It would be bad if this spread out?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, who was following behind the wife of the chief priest, blushed instantly.

The wife of the chief priest did not expect Bai Xiaofeng to be so stubborn. She coughed and said, "Sister Bai, what do you mean? We were talking well at that time, and suddenly Sister Bai said something inappropriate. We were still confused... Come, look at my daughter. Sister Bai, tell me, what's inappropriate about her?"

Bai Xiaofeng didn't expect that even at that point, the chief priest's wife could still act dumb.

Looking at the eldest daughter of the Zhou family whose face was so red that it seemed to be dripping with blood behind the wife of the chief priest, Bai Xiaofeng was even more speechless.

But she now knew that if the problem was not resolved this time, there would be endless troubles in the future.

Bai Xiaofeng said sternly, "Madam Zhou, marriage is a union of two families. Our two families are not suitable, and even if we force ourselves to get married later, I'm afraid it will only hurt the relationship between the two families. Why bother?"

What Bai Xiaofeng meant was that if you continue to get entangled, there wouldn't be much of the teacher-student relationship left.

The wife of the chief priest's face changed slightly, and she pretended to be resentful and said: "... Sister Bai, you saw that Brother Liu won six prizes in a row and has an extraordinary future, so you felt that we, the humble chief priests, are not worthy of you, so you said it was inappropriate and wanted to break the appointment? Sister Bai, do you think this is appropriate?"

Xing Xing stepped in: "Madam Ji Jiu, please be careful with your words!"

When the wife of the chief priest saw that it was Xing Xing, she knew that she was a big celebrity in the East Palace, and she hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, my Lord."

Xing Xing raised her hand and said, "Madam Jijiu, there is no need to be so polite. My second aunt has already said that she had already rejected you before the palace examination. Moreover, the two families are not engaged, and none of the three letters and six ceremonies have been started. How can you talk about breaking the engagement? Madam Jijiu, you should be more serious about what you said."

Xing Xing smiled, "Otherwise, if this gets out, both Sister Zhou and my third brother's reputation will be damaged."

The wife of the chief priest was unable to raise her head.

She also felt strange in her heart. This was just a little girl who was only a few years older than her little daughter. Although she had the title of a county lady, she was still a young girl after all. Yet, she could feel a sense of charm from just a few words from this little girl!

The wife of the chief priest gritted her teeth and said, "...The county lord is right. I will be careful with my words and actions when I am out in the future."

Not long after Xingxing came in, the wife of the chief priest could no longer stay and left with her daughter in shame.

Bai Xiaofeng let out a long breath and praised Xingxing again: "Xingxing is still able to handle the situation. I talked to Madam Zhou for a long time, but she just wanted to get away with it."

Xing Xing smiled and said, "It's because Second Auntie is too kind. People tend to bully the kind and fear the vicious."

Bai Xiaofeng looked at Xing Xing: "You? Vicious?"

Xing Xing made a ferocious expression: "Is it fierce enough? Is it cruel enough?"

This time, Bai Xiaofeng and Su Rouer couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This smile dispelled all the unhappiness that the wife of the chief priest had just brought.

"…There are so many gifts here, and I have to think about how to send them back. I am so busy. Your aunt, your aunt, and brother Huai's daughter-in-law are all pregnant, so I can't ask them to help. I can only ask Xingxing to help me. I am afraid that we will have to trouble Xingxing today."

Xing Xing sat on the couch and started to reach for the account book: "Second Aunt, we are a family, so there is no need to talk about troubles as a family."

Bai Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Second Auntie will make another dress for Xing Xing later. I guarantee it will look good!"

As they were talking, someone suddenly came running in and reported, "Something happened!"
