3. Chapter 3

Girls in the Northwest always get married sooner or later. As the fifth girl in the Xiao family, she has been picking about her husband's family and has not yet made a promise to her husband's family at the age of 16. Now she is getting older and she has difficulty sleeping when she is at night. However, compared with Liu Mei, she seems to be beneficial to her so strict and picking, which is better than Liu Mei's embarrassing situation.

With such subtle thoughts, she rushed to meet the now-willed Liu Meimei before dinner. Of course, she was not completely worried about watching jokes. Before she arrived, she specially chose a few new clothes she had made to give to Liu Meimei.

But when she entered the house, the beautiful shadow that came into her eyes suddenly turned her back to the shocking scene when she was six years old.

I saw that the appearance that should have been tempered by unbearable marriage was not reduced to half at all, without any makeup, but youthfulness was impressed. It faded away the youthfulness of the age of fourteen and showed some indescribable grace.

After removing the black outer cloak, she only wore a plain white narrow skirt mixed with thread. It seemed that this style was not available on the market. It was probably cut by herself. However, the seemingly simple narrow skirt obviously had the unrestrained ancient style of the previous dynasty. The cut was very simple, but the slender figure set off a bit of the free and elegant manner of the gentry of the previous dynasty.

The long black hair was tied up by a cicada-shaped jade hairpin. The hairpin was not the most popular complex and exquisite carving style. It was as simple as her whole body, and the shape was simple but smooth and unique.

Corresponding to the sixth sister's outfit of being transcendent and elegant, the fifth lady in the Xiao family only felt that her outfit was specially replaced by the colorful silk clothes of Shanghai Tang Yingchun, and she felt an indescribable vulgarity.

Yuzhu didn't know what was going on inside her fifth sister. She had long been used to Xiao Zhen'er's uninvited arrival. She opened her lips slightly and gently put the broken hair on her cheeks behind her ears, saying, "Fifth sister, long time no see."

After seeing this, Xiao Zhen'er became lazy in comparing. After coming to her senses, she only held Yuzhu's hand and shook it gently: "I'm so cruel. I've never come to see my parents and me in one or two years."

Xiao Zhen'er has been a little bit heart-wrenching since she was a child. When she said this, she sincerely forgot that the past was when her mother forced her sixth sister to get married.

Yuzhu didn't say anything, but said softly: "It was my fault, I should have come back to see it long ago."

As I was talking, the front hall had already sent someone to call people to deliver food.

Yuzhu simply washed her face and did not change her clothes. After gathering her hair, she walked out of the boudoir.

Xiao Zhen'er also had some trouble asking Yuzhu to change into her vulgar clothes and took Yuzhu to the dining room.

Although the Xiao family is a businessman, they are engaged in elegant business such as jade carvings. The decorations in the house are much more elegant than those of merchant families, and they are as peaceful as wealthy families.

At this time, the Nanmu dinner table had already been decorated with wine and food. Apart from the ancestors, the family had basically arrived. However, the second girl from the Xiao family is now serving the emperor in the palace, and the third brother of the Xiao family is studying outside, so except for the eldest and fifth girls, there is only the fourth young master Xiao Yu who is not married.

Yuzhu bowed to Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Wang who were sitting on the main seat of the dining table. Mrs. Wang's expression was dull, but Mr. Xiao was a little mixed with emotion and said gently: "Get up quickly, the child, it's good to come back, sit and talk."

Yuzhu thanked her father in a low voice, then looked up at a woman with a face sitting at the dining table. However, seeing the little fluff growing on her face that had passed, she immediately realized that this should be Chen, the eldest brother's newly married woman.

Sure enough, before he could sit down, he heard Mrs. Wang say coldly: "This is your sister-in-law, why don't you go over and salute her and say hello!"

Yuzhu stood up again to ask Chen. For some reason, Chen looked carefully at her husband Xiao Shan's sudden gloomy handsome face, but her husband did not look at her, but looked at his sixth sister intently... She quickly helped Yuzhu up and said softly: "Sixth sister doesn't have to be polite, just treat me as my sister."

But Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied with what she heard and said coldly: "The eldest sister-in-law is the eldest sister-in-law, how can she mess up her seniority?"

The tone of voice was a little stiff, and these words suddenly made the scene at the dinner table cold. Xiao Shan frowned slightly with thick eyebrows and said coldly: "Mom, don't you feel a little heavy in your headache? Just say less so that you won't suffer again after getting into the night!"

This was to mention his mother in front of everyone, and he said it more carefully. But the mother and son had a long time of conflict and had already had a pustules that could not withstand any touch.

Xiaoshan has become more and more parents at home in recent years. If it were something else, Mrs. Wang would not be willing to make her son unhappy, but it was related to the abandoned wife of the Wang family. Mrs. Wang was not ashamed of her anger. She did not have the attitude of closing her mouth at the moment and said directly: "What? What did I say wrong? If she remembers her seniority and her seniority, she is well advanced and retreated, why did she hook up with my elder brother's son in the Wang family and make a scandal about her sister-in-law and her clan brother being caught in bed!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone couldn't help but take a breath, especially Xiao Zhen'er and the fourth brother Xiao Yu. This was the first time when they heard the details of the sixth sister being divorced by her husband's family. They immediately looked at Yuzhu standing in the hall in surprise.

Xiao Shan could no longer hold back and was about to speak to his mother, but Mr. Xiao first placed the teacup he was holding on the table and shouted loudly: "Enough! You can talk nonsense in front of your children, and you are not afraid of losing your moral character as a mother!"

Mrs. Wang was so defamed by her son and husband. Her grievances in her heart burst out like a newly dug well, and she continued to glar at Yuzhu, which was unwilling to stop.

The hall was in chaos before the meal could be started. However, the victim stood there quietly. When the unbearable scandal was revealed by his adoptive mother, Ruhua's eyebrows and eyes did not even move for a while, but her eyes were slightly distracted, and she didn't know what was going on in her mind.

It was not until the sound in the hall became more and more messy that he said slightly: "It's Yuan Yuzhu's, it shouldn't be a problem for the mansion, so he stopped disturbing him and said goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave. At this moment, the ancestor had already stood at the door of the hall at some point. Chen Nian's Jiwei only needed to stomp the peach stick in his hand to calm the messy hall down.

The old woman slowly walked into the hall with the help of the old woman. Her eyes hidden in the wrinkles glared at her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang's aggressiveness in front of her husband was reduced by half, and she quickly got up and went to support her mother-in-law: "Mom, please sit down quickly, and wait for you to come and start the meal."

The old lady looked at Yuzhu gently, who was about to say goodbye, and said warmly: "Child, I am the one who invites you. How could I leave first before I arrived?"

After saying that, he actually threw away Mrs. Wang, held Yuzhu's hand in person, and took her back to the dining table.

The ancestor sat down in the main seat, and Yuzhu sat next to her.

With her mother-in-law present, Mrs. Wang no longer dared to speak as she had before, but she still felt a sense of resentment and could only stand aside and force herself to suppress herself.

After the ancestor sat down, he stepped back from the servant who served the other side and closed the door of the dining room. Then he looked up at his wife and said softly: "You have joined our Xiao Mansion, and even if you are your daughter-in-law. Although the Wang family is your parents' home, you should know which side you should be facing. If I don't understand, then go back to your parents' home for a year or two, and you will figure it out, it's not too late to go back."

Mrs. Wang was shocked when she heard this. The mother-in-law wanted to drive her out of the house. She immediately said: "Mother, if the wife is wrong, she will teach her own lessons. How could she say such things that made her daughter-in-law feel uncomfortable?"

The ancestor looked at Yuzhu, who was slightly lowered his head, and suddenly his voice became a little cold, and then said, "If I hadn't been distorted and forgot that I was the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, how could I say such stupid words in front of the servant? What kind of child is Liu Yatou? Besides, what is Wang Yunting, the son of your elder brother, who is? He took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival and his family was watching the moon in the garden and tricked his cousin's sister-in-law into the study without any hesitation! If Yuzhu hadn't resisted his death and stabbed the dog's thigh with an awl, it would have been as you said, and he would have been caught in the bed!"

The words of the ancestor made the Xiao family members present gasp again. Xiao Shan raised his thick eyebrows slightly, surprised that his grandmother, who seemed to be buried in the Buddhist temple all day long, knew so clearly the truth of the family's vain that the Wang family had been hiding.

It was only today that Mr. Xiao heard the hidden information inside, and couldn't help but look at his grievanced Liu Yatou with heartache, and glared at his wife angrily.

The two younger generations, Xiao Yu and Xiao Zhener, could not believe that the sixth sister, who had always been weak and gentle in their eyes, could do such a tough thing as stabbing people's thighs with an awl and causing blood to come out.

Mrs. Wang didn't expect that her mother-in-law would know about Men'erqing, but she still defended herself: "If it weren't for her intention to seduce her, how could that child Yunting be so bold? It was obvious that she heard footsteps outside the door, so she turned around and put the shit basin on my stupid nephew... Yunting was almost tying into a cripple by her!"

"Enough! If you talk about turning the tables, who can match my uncle? Our Xiao family is now framed. After encountering some twists and turns, the Wang family changed their minds. They obviously received silver notes, but they deducted the three boxes of gold... Is this what I think is that my Xiao family is not good, and they are preparing to win a finishing Qiufeng?" At this moment, Xiao Shan suddenly spoke and coldly gave his mother another slap.

Mrs. Wang really didn't know about this. Although she was privately a nephew, she didn't know much about the disagreement between the Xiao family and the Wang family on the shop. She felt a little aggrieved and didn't know what to say.

The ancestor spoke again at this time: "I think I don't eat this meal anymore. I haven't seen Liu Yatou for a long time, so I have a lot to say. Liu Ma, pick up some Liu Yatou's favorite food and put it in the food box. Our grandparents and grandchildren go back to the house to eat."

So the family dinner ended unhappily before it even started.

If it were before, Xiao Shan would never let Yuzhu talk alone with his ancestor. But today, the ancestor took the initiative to ask Yuzhu to return home, and then scolded his mother in front of all the children and found Yuzhu's face. He could not stop Yuzhu from letting her enter her grandmother's yard.

But my heart was still not very smooth, and I couldn't help but look at her deeply.

But the man, who was like a jade carving, lowered his head slightly, revealing a piece of snow-white pink neck in his collar, which made people unable to help but want to go over and bite it hard, and then sucked it with his lips and printed a red mark.

Over the years, he has always dreamed of such a situation in his dream, but when he wakes up, he always feels inexplicably empty and lost, and he feels more regretful of his powerlessness and does not stop Yuzhu from getting married.

Fortunately, God treated him well. Now that Yuzhu has been relieved from Xiao Mansion, he finally has a chance to go back. This time, even the King of Heaven will definitely not stop him...

Seeing that the eldest son staring at Yuzhu with his eyes too explicit, Mrs. Wang felt a little nervous again and couldn't help but cough deliberately.

At this moment, Yuzhu had already walked out of the hall with her ancestors lightly.

Having supper with the old lady was much less complicated. The old grandmother of Xiao’s house has always been vegetarian and her food is very simple. The old man has a bad stomach and does not like greasy, which is exactly the taste of Yuzhu.

But after the dishes were merging, no one in the old or the young had turned on their chopsticks.

The old lady carefully looked at her granddaughter whom she had not seen in the past two years and said softly: "Child, you have suffered."

Yuzhu smiled slightly and said, "The Wang family is a wealthy family. Her husband is humble and treats me very thoughtful and has never suffered any hardship."

The ancestor nodded: "It's good that you can think so. When your grandfather brought you back, it was the time when your Yuan family was in trouble. It was because your father offended the powerful Yao family in the court. Because the Yao family was domineering, the relatives and friends of your father and mother did not dare to take you in. It was your grandfather who withstood you and adopted you. Since you got into the Xiao family's family tree, your parents have never treated you badly, and they feel sorry for yourself as their own children... It was your mother who was a little careless in your marriage and encouraged her to say that her nephew Wang Kun was a talented man who was proficient in poetry and books. I am also old, my ears and eyes are a little blocked, and I don't know that his body is so bad..."

Yuzhu then raised her head, which had been hanging down, held her sleeves, gently lifted her jade wrist, picked up a chopstick, and put it on the plate of her ancestors, and said softly: "Ancestors don't have to blame themselves. At that time, I was young and young and didn't understand my mother's painstaking efforts. After marrying, I realized that Wang Kun was indeed a good husband. I was not lucky. I caused a big disaster in the Wang family and also humiliated the Xiao family's lintel... Now I am retired, it's all my fault. What's the matter with my parents? I haven't returned to the house in the past two years. One is that my husband is weak and I can't live without people at the moment, and the other is that my mother said before getting married that if there is nothing to do, it's best not to come back, so as not to disturb my elder brother's intention to take over the store. In my heart, I always miss you and your parents, and I really don't dare to have any resentment."

In the eyes of the ancestors, there was a little smile, and he only held Yuzhu's hand and said, "Your child has been liked since childhood. The Wang family does not know treasures. It is their blessing. When you come back, your grandmother will do her best to choose another marriage for you. You are still young and the road ahead is still long... But the child in Xiaoshan is not concerned about his work. Jingmao rashly asked you to change your surname to Yuan. If you don't know, wouldn't it confirm those unfamiliar rumors? Don't mention changing your surname again in the future, otherwise your grandfather will be unable to rest in peace in the nine springs!"
