"She said I kicked her out?" Xia Tian's voice was filled with surprise. "I just said I was busy that day and didn't have time to accompany her, so I let her go first. When did I kick her out?"
Yang Yiyi actually added fuel to the fire!
She just politely declined the offer to chat, is that not allowed?
She is now the wife of a second-rank official. She has finally become the head of the household. Doesn't she have the power to arrange her own time?
Xia Tian was speechless.
No wonder Cui Bijun spoke in a sarcastic tone today. She felt that she had offended Yang Yiyi!
"Doesn't that mean she's kicked out?" Cui Biyun snorted coldly, "Yiyi is still a little girl. No wonder her eyes are swollen from crying when you say that."
It's so obvious that you don't like me, and you still say you're not kicking me out?
Cui Biyun was no longer holding it in now that she had spoken out. "You come from a rural background, so you're not afraid of what people say. But my Yiyi grew up in seclusion. Isn't it a slap in her face if you say that?"
After listening to these relentless words, Xia Tian realized that he still felt that she was of low birth and not worthy of Shen Nian!
Yang Yiyi comes from a wealthy family, so she should be treated differently and shouldn't be wronged. But when it comes to her who comes from a rural family, can she be told anything to your face?
"Since Yang Yiyi is a girl from a noble family, then my aunt should take good care of her. She should understand the differences between men and women, right?"
Xia Tian said coldly, without any politeness.
Originally, she didn't want to talk about this openly, but she was concerned about the girl's difficult life and her reputation could not be damaged, so she saved her face just now.
I didn't expect that some people just can't understand unless you explain clearly, and they always think that everything is someone else's fault.
Never look for reasons in yourself!
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cui Biyun was furious. "Yiyi just came to talk to you, how come you don't understand the difference between men and women?"
Seeing that the two were talking more and more outrageously, Mrs. Cui spoke up, "What are you two talking about? How did this bring up the difference between men and women again?"
The old lady had called her over today to ask if there was any misunderstanding between her and Yiyi, thinking that it would be fine if she just talked it out.
How come this is getting more and more excessive?
Cui Biyun came back and told her that Yiyi had gone to play with Xia Tian and was kicked out. She wanted to ask him in person if there was a mistake. How could this happen when they were all relatives?
Xia Tian's expression eased a little when he saw that Mrs. Cui really seemed to be unaware of the situation.
"That day, Yang Yiyi came to my house. I was painting a portrait for someone else and was really busy, so I told her to go back first and I would come to play with her later.
She was fine when she left and didn't cry at all.
At noon, my husband came back and said that Yang Yiyi went to the governor's office to see him, and complained that I didn't like her.
Then her husband told her to go back first because he had some official business to attend to, that was it.”
Xia Tian patiently described what happened that day to Mrs. Cui again.
My eldest aunt and fifth aunt, who had been listening for a long time, also understood something.
This is Yiyi falling for Shen Nian, but being rejected?
The aunt-in-law quickly asked the maid to pour another cup of tea for Xia Tian, and then she smiled and tried to make amends to Cui Biyun, "Xia Xia, Yi Yi must have misunderstood something. Don't be angry, drink some tea to moisten your throat first."
"That's right, the little girl is ignorant and must have misunderstood." Fifth aunt also chimed in, "Biyun, you too, you're so anxious without even understanding anything.
Those who know you think you love your daughter, while those who don't think you are deliberately looking for trouble! "
Fifth aunt said this just to give Cui Biyun a way out.
How can this be said? Chen Nian is now a second-rank official, and his wife is also a second-rank imperial lady. No matter what, he cannot just come up and question him. What's more, this is really not Xia Tian's fault.
Unfortunately, Cui Bijun did not hear what her fifth aunt was thinking. She turned her head away with an ugly expression and kept her mouth shut without saying a word.
When Mrs. Cui heard this, she seemed to understand and her face turned grim. "Biyun, you should pay more attention to Yiyi! She's grown up now. Even though we are cousins, we still have to avoid suspicion."
The old lady spoke directly, and she finally understood that Yiyi fell in love with her cousin!
If Chen Nian had not been married, the two of them would have been quite compatible, but now that he was married, she couldn't rush to marry him. It wouldn't make sense for a girl from aristocratic family to rush to become someone's concubine.
Seeing that no one was speaking for her, Cui Biyun cried out a little aggrievedly, "Mom! Isn't this also for Yiyi?"
She has found so many good men these days, but Yiyi disagrees with any of them and just cries and wants to marry Shen Nian. What can she do?
Couldn't she just complain a few words?
The more Cui Biyun thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. "You don't know, she's been so upset these past few days that she hasn't even eaten. She's lost a lot of weight. She's a piece of flesh that fell from my body. How can I not feel bad for her?"
"When did this child become so ignorant?" Mrs. Cui frowned.
He was such a well-behaved child before, how could he suddenly become like this?
"Xia Xia, you are telling the truth, right?" Old Madam Cui confirmed. She wanted to know if there was anything else involved.
"Every word is true! If grandma doesn't believe me, you can call Yang Yiyi over for a confrontation!" Xia Tian was frank. There was no reason for her to make up a lie about this matter.
She was being subtle about it, not directly saying that Yang Yiyi liked Shen Nian.
When Mrs. Cui heard her say this and her calm demeanor, she knew that this was probably what she thought.
I couldn't help but sigh. If this matter wasn't handled properly, the relationship between the two families might be affected again.
Although she also loves Yang Yiyi, she also feels a little guilty towards Shen Nian. It would be inappropriate to help anyone at this moment, so she can only smooth things over.
"Xia Xia, don't mind what your aunt says. She just loves her daughter and doesn't mean anything against you.
Don't worry, grandma will let her take good care of your cousin. The child is growing up, and it is indeed necessary to pay attention to the difference between boys and girls."
Xia Tian nodded slightly and did not continue to insist. For the sake of Mrs. Cui and her two aunts, she did not want to say anything too harsh. After all, they would have to visit each other in the future.
Besides, this matter is only a problem between Cui Biyun and Yang Yiyi, and has nothing to do with other people in the Cui family, so she will not implicate them.
Cui Bijun was scolded by her mother and was silent now.
Seeing that sitting like this was quite awkward, Cui's aunt quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Mother, Xia Xia has arrived and hasn't even been around our house yet. I'll take her for a walk in the garden."
"Well, go ahead." Madam Cui nodded. "Xia Xia, take good care of the house and go back after dinner."
After the two elders said so, Xia Tian stood up and said, "Okay, grandma, I haven't been to the garden yet, so it's a good time to go and take a look."
Seeing that she agreed, the aunt came over, took her hand and walked out the door.
The fifth aunt said something to the old lady and followed her out.
Xia Tian saw that his aunt seemed to have something to say, and he also knew that his aunt wanted to ease the awkward atmosphere just now, so he still had a good impression of her.
"Aunt, did you ask me to come out because you have something else to say?"
