Chapter 115 Will Xiao Jingwen accept his advances?
"If you don't agree, I will tell Grandpa Xiao about you going to see your lover."
Oh my god?
What’s going on here?
"Princess, you can eat whatever you want, but you must not say anything you want, okay?"
When Mrs. Xiao heard Jiujiu's words, not only did her legs go limp with fright, but the color on her face also quickly faded.
"My master and I have lived in harmony for half of our lives. How can there be any lover for me?"
"I don't want to live for most of my life and suddenly be spread with rumors like this. I, an old woman, still have some dignity to live with!"
"I don't want to die in peace, with people stabbing me in the back."
Madam Xiao's aggrieved voice was choked with sobs.
Jiujiu: “…”
"Ahem, sorry, I spoke too quickly and said the wrong thing." Jiujiu scratched her hair in a confused manner, "I wanted to say that Grandma Xiao, you always meet your childhood sweetheart in private."
“…”
This is indeed true.
But--
"Princess, that was an accidental encounter, not a deliberate private meeting."
“There’s a huge difference between the two.”
Jiujiu said: "Yes, we met by chance."
Madam Xiao heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Jiujiu's words, but then she heard Jiujiu say, "Why did we meet by chance? It's because your first love, Grandma Xiao, moved to the house next door so that he could see you more often..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao's face turned even paler than before.
How could the little princess know such a private matter?
Could it be that you heard it from the Emperor?
After all, the emperor has secret agents who specialize in collecting secrets of officials in the capital, so it is not surprising that he knows.
But, her old man must not know about it!
"Princess, it's enough for you to know this. Can you please not tell anyone? Especially not to my old man?"
Mrs. Xiao was so anxious that she was about to cry.
If her old man knew about this, he would definitely make trouble with her.
Even though she had done nothing wrong, her reason was right, her anger was strong, and she was aboveboard, she was still afraid that he would quarrel with her!
When the old man gets angry, she won't be able to sleep well for days and nights.
She is old and can't stand the hardship anymore!
Jiujiu nodded: "Sure!" After a pause, "But, Grandma Xiao, you have to agree to my elder brother's proposal."
Madam Xiao had already wavered when she heard Jiujiu say that her daughter was beaten by Captain Li. Jiujiu's coercion at this moment was only to make her make up her mind as soon as possible.
"Okay, I promise."
What the princess said is right. Marrying into an ordinary family will only bring hardship. It is better to marry someone you like and they can support each other.
They were narrow-minded before.
They couldn't even think of what a child could think of.
They also thought that if their daughter married someone of similar background, or even someone with a lower family background than theirs, their daughter would be able to live a comfortable and proud life. However, they did not expect that their daughter would live such a hard life.
Their fault.

After Jiujiu persuaded Madam Xiao, she returned to the main hall with her.
The eldest prince was still reserved. When he saw Jiujiu and Madam Xiao coming back, he looked at Madam Xiao cautiously.
He had thought it through. If Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao still didn't agree, he would kneel here until they agreed.
He believes that where there is sincerity, even metal and stone can be moved.
As long as he shows enough sincerity, he will definitely be able to make the two elders give in.
Unexpectedly, when Jiujiu mentioned that she would help him to marry Xiao Jingwen, the two elders both nodded in agreement.
The eldest prince: “………………”
what happened?
Was he missed?
How come Jiujiu and the two elders went out separately, and when they came back, the two elders agreed to his proposal?
The eldest prince was so confused that he even forgot the excitement of successfully proposing for marriage.
He even suspected that he was hallucinating.
"Good Jiujiu! Come here quickly and slap big brother. Why does big brother feel like he is dreaming?"
Jiujiu came to the eldest prince and said, "Big brother, you are not dreaming. Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao have agreed to marry Sister Xiao to you. You can get married after Sister Xiao divorces."
[Ninety-nine red lines! ]
【The traction was successful. 】
[It was worth the trip. 】
[After helping Sister Xiao get a divorce, Jiujiu can go find her mother and stepfather. I haven't seen them for a few days and I miss them a lot.]
After hearing Jiujiu's thoughts, the eldest prince patted her head and said with emotion, "My sister is so nice. She helped me solve the problem that I couldn't solve and no one helped me solve."
"Even if she misses Father and Empress Li very much, she should help me solve these difficult problems first."
"I am so lucky to have such a good sister."
The eldest prince was very excited.
Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao looked at each other, both of them wondering how the princess had convinced the other party.
A stick of incense later, the eldest prince received the token from Mr. and Mrs. Xiao that they were willing to marry their daughter. He prepared to return to Captain Li's house immediately to help Xiao Jingwen get a divorce.
Before leaving, Madam Xiao took the eldest prince by the hand and said, "There is no need to mention the matter of marrying into the family. Since you are willing to show your sincerity and marry into the family, we are also willing to marry our daughter. But, you also have to promise us that you will never let Jingwen suffer any grievances for the rest of your life."
She didn't want to hear about her daughter being beaten again.
The eldest prince knelt on the ground, raised three fingers, and said solemnly: "I swear, when I marry Jingwen, I will treat her well. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
"Okay, get up now!"
"As for Jingwen's divorce, I know all the grievances she has suffered. She must divorce. Our Xiao family will also summon the elders to come."
"But I'm just afraid that Li Yong won't agree to divorce."
Mrs. Xiao was a little worried.
Jiujiu: "Don't worry about this, I'll take care of it."
·
When Jiujiu and the eldest prince returned to Li's mansion, the eldest prince put on his mask again and pretended to be Jiujiu's bodyguard.
Jiujiu took out her princess identity, walked in, and went to Xiao Jingwen's yard.
What Jiujiu didn't expect was that Captain Li, who never came to Xiao Jingwen's courtyard, was there too.
The eldest prince snorted disdainfully and said, "Captain Li must have seen that Jingwen was favored by Jiujiu and thought that Jingwen could help him speak well of Jiujiu and get promoted, so he came to Jingwen's courtyard."
After hearing this, Jiujiu looked at the eldest prince in surprise.
So this is Jingwen?
After the elder brother successfully proposed marriage, he did not show too much excitement, but looked very calm.
Jiujiu thought he was not excited, but now it seems that his excitement is all in his heart.
Jiujiu smiled.
Inside the house, Captain Li and Xiao Jingwen sat opposite each other at a mahogany round table. Captain Li took the initiative to say, "Jingwen, I will stay at your place tonight."
"I will treat you well in the future. Forget about the bad things that happened before!"
"We start over?"
For the sake of his future and promotion, Captain Li took the initiative to show his friendliness to Xiao Jingwen, and his expression was completely different from before.
Will Xiao Jingwen accept his advances?
