Chapter 220 Depressed
Zou looked at Xiao Yanyan who was crying too much, and wanted to ignore her, but she couldn't bear to leave her alone. After all, she was a daughter who had been in her heart for more than ten years. Zou hoped that she could fly to the branch and climb to the prince in the future.
When she heard that the emperor gave a marriage, Zou was stunned. She thought the matter between Zhou You and Xiao Yanyan had passed, but now she was talking about the old story again, which was really a bit dazed.
Could it be that Zhou You never forgets Xiao Yanyan? It’s not like him!
"Yan'er, who did you hear?"
Zou himself couldn't find out, so why did Xiao Yanyan know?
"Of course someone told me." Xiao Yanyan stamped her feet impatiently and said unhappily to Zou, who was lying on the couch: "You naturally don't know anything when you lie down like this."
"Yan'er, if it's a marriage granted by the emperor, then you'd better accept it." This is the best way Zou could think of. She was just a woman, and even if she was a little sensible, she was just wandering around the inner house. She couldn't guess what happened in the palace.
Although she had no choice but to persuade Xiao Yanyan to give up, Zou herself was actually a little discouraged. She could see these days that if Xiao Yanyan's identity was exposed, she would no longer be Xiao Xiang's daughter, but I am afraid that the prince might not have promised Xiao Yanyan the position of the right wife.
Since that's the case, it's better to marry Zhou You, the playboy. Anyway, the Princess Qin has a handle in her hands. If Xiao Yanyan gets married, she will be the prince's concubine, and she will be the Princess Qin in the future. It seems that it's good to take a step back.
It is better to be a poor wife than a rich concubine. How could Zou not know this? If Xiao Yanyan became the prince's concubine, it would be better to marry Zhou You. Besides, can she easily resist the order?
"No, no!" Xiao Yanyan stood up from the soft collapse, "Are you confused? He actually asked me to marry Zhou You, and what else would he have except for being better-looking!" Xiao Yanyan's eyes were cold, and the gaze that looked at Zou seemed to be a poisonous knife, which made Zou shudder.
Zou felt that her heart fell into the abyss. She tried her best to calm herself down and said in a trembling voice:
"Yan'er, I...I'm for your own good."
"For my goodness? Hoho, for my goodness, I said I am your biological daughter? For my goodness, you let me marry that dandy who everyone despises? Are you for my goodness?"
Xiao Yanyan looked at Zou with a sarcastic look. Her voice was hoarse because of the roar. The blue veins on her neck burst out, and she fell into anger. She saw her constantly spinning around the room, walking around like a trapped beast. Just when Zou was sad, she suddenly stopped again, and asked Zou with hope, as if she had remembered something: "I won't marry Zhou You, Second Aunt, can you let Xiao Yanshu take my place for me?"
After saying that, Xiao Yanyan stared at Zou with her eyes, as if she would turn against her face as soon as she shook her head.
"Yan'er?"
Zou thought Xiao Yanyan must be crazy, otherwise she wouldn't say this. She looked at Xiao Yanyan's eyes in disbelief and shouted in disbelief: "How can you think so? Shu'er, Shu'er is your sister."
"Sister? Haha, I only have a legitimate brother, but I don't have any girls!" Xiao Yanyan sneered in her heart, but said to herself: "I know, I know, but Second Aunt, it was because Xiao Yanshu was my sister that she let her marry on behalf of others."
Xiao Yanyan's eyes flashed slightly, and a smile appeared on her face. She immediately looked like "I have a good idea". She pulled Zou's sleeve, as if holding a life-saving straw, and was half threatening and half earnest at Zou: "Second Aunt, please! Otherwise I really can't live. Second Aunt, you are so kind to me, you can't watch me suffer."
As he said that, he took a deep breath as if he was burning his boat, and said in a deep voice: "Second Aunt, I am already the Prince's Highness."
"What, what do you say!"
Xiao Yanyan's words were like a thunderous thunder, making Zou's family tender. She was so angry that she grabbed Xiao Yanyan, stretched out her hand but couldn't bear to touch Xiao Yanyan's finger. After a while, she said depressedly: "So confused! How can you be like this!"
When Zou wanted to say something else, he met Xiao Yanyan's crazy-bright eyes when he looked up. Xiao Yanyan was so fragile that she seemed to break with a touch. Zou saw that she was both distressed and heartbroken. She had to fall into a depressed battle, fell on the soft couch in dismay, and said heartbrokenly: "It's a sin, it's a sin!"
Why did the prince let the emperor give him a marriage? What should I do?
Zou's headache was so shattered that the setbacks over the past few days made her messed up. Besides, Grandpa Xiao Er was not in the capital, and she now didn't even have anyone to discuss.
Xiao Yanyan didn't come to listen to Zou's confession. She grabbed Zou's: "So, this is the best way."
Zou was like a marionette and asked Xiao Yanyan to pull her. She looked blank and her eyes were dull, but she just said in a whisper: "Yan'er, this is an imperial edict, and she cannot be replaced. If the emperor knows, she will be beheaded."
Xiao Yanyan was going crazy. Zou kept saying that it was for her. At this critical moment, wasn’t he still thinking about Xiao Yanshu?
What do you say is the best for her? It's just that you want to use her to make a fortune.
Xiao Yanyan saw Zou rejecting repeatedly, and she was so angry that her heart felt like there was a fire burning in her heart. The fire burned all her last bit of reason. She made her crazy and made her crazy. She pushed Zou away fiercely and roared:
"What should I do? If I marry that playboy, I will die!"
Zou was pushed from the soft collapse by Xiao Yanyan to the ground. She obviously didn't expect Xiao Yanyan to take action, so she just stared at the palm of her palm and was dazed in a daze. She looked at Xiao Yanyan, who had been holding in her hand since she was a child, and she felt cold all over, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
Since Madam Zhou left and never returned, Zou knew that the matter had been exposed. Although Xiao Anran did not imprison her and Xiao Yanyan, they could not leave the gate of Xiao's mansion, otherwise she would have escaped long ago.
Xiao Yanyan gave her a big problem. Now, unlike the past, let alone finding Xiao Yanqiang or someone else to marry from the clan like before, now even if she agrees to Xiao Yanshu marry on behalf of her, even if she leaves the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Yanshu will undoubtedly die when she arrives at the Qin Prince's Mansion. How could a cruel and ruthless person like Zhou You spare Xiao Yanshu?
With a lucky chance, she looked at Xiao Yanyan and asked with a hint of hope: "Yan'er, Shu'er is your real sister. If she is found marrying on your behalf, do you know what she will happen?"
Xiao Yanyan's eyes turned cold and she replied casually: "Then let her die."
"Yan'er!"
Zou interrupted Xiao Yanyan coldly, "That is the sister of your mother." Although she loved Xiao Yanyan more, Xiao Yanshu was also her biological flesh and blood.
But Xiao Yanyan can't take care of her feelings now, and she is just thinking about how to end the matter. The more Xiao Yanyan thinks, the more she thinks that Xiao Yanshu can marry on behalf of others, and begins to persuade Zou: "It's no longer possible to let Xiao Yanqiang marry on behalf of others, but Xiao Yanshu has been feeling unwell these days, and his father won't think too much. If you are afraid of being discovered..."
Xiao Yan's eyes flashed and continued to comfort Zou: "Then let the sedan chair not enter the Qin Palace, as this is not considered as a disobedience to the order."
Zou forgot to cry in an instant, and she looked at Xiao Yanyan blankly: "Yan'er, what's the point?"
Xiao Yanyan leaned against Ruo Cold casually, looked at Zou who was sitting stupidly on the ground and said lightly: "Let me find some people to ambush in a hidden place and wait for an opportunity to shoot."
"Yan'er!"
Zou was scared and could not speak anymore. He kept silent and could only shout "Yan'er." Perhaps she didn't expect that the daughter she held in her palm was now even more cruel than her.
Xiao Yanyan obviously expected that she would think so long ago. She saw her approaching Zou gently and said slowly: "Second Auntie thinks I am cruel? Second Auntie, you said, which of us is more cruel?"
Before Zou could speak, Xiao Yanyan sighed softly in her ear like a dream: "How come I believe you are my mother? Look, we are all killing and decisive."
Decisive decision? Not sinister and cruel?
Zou's heart was not overwhelmed by this light sentence. Although she was disappointed with Xiao Yanyan's cruelty, she had to admit that Xiao Yanyan said something reasonable.
However, Xiao Yanshu is his own flesh and blood after all, and Zou wants to save him again: "Or what if it's Xiao Yanjin?"
Xiao Yanjin?
If it were her, it would seem like nothing else.
Xiao Yanyan nodded and couldn't help but calm down: "I'm so anxious, but I'm actually afraid that the prince will be angry and implicate you."
Yes, why did you think that the emperor would not be able to disobey the marriage, but you didn’t think of the prince? This is the future king of a country. If he offended him, wouldn’t life be even more difficult?
Zou thought about this in his heart, and when he faced Xiao Yanyan again, he lost all the fear and heartbrokenness. She grabbed Xiao Yanyan's hand and spoke again, she was still the second aunt who considered everything for Xiao Yanyan: "Don't worry, Yan'er, I will arrange things properly."
Thinking of the loopholes, he hurriedly reminded her: "It's easy to deal with Xiao Yanjin's death on his way to marry, but what should you do with the prince?" Could it be that Xiao Yanyan wants to hide it if she pretends to die?
"Why should I hide it?" Xiao Yanyan seemed to have thought about these tricks one by one, and she said it with confidence: "Our cousins look similar, and then I will use Xiao Yanjin's name to enter the prince's mansion."
Speaking of the prince, Xiao Yanyan's face turned a little deeper, and she lost her gloom as before.
Seeing that Xiao Yanyan had already arranged all this, Zou couldn't help but have an idea in his heart: "Was Xiao Yanyan wanted Xiao Yanjin to marry on behalf of him when she first came?"
Compared to Xiao Yanshu, who has been known to others for a long time, although Xiao Yanjin has gained some reputation in the capital in recent years with a few sour poems, Zou rarely brings her in front of others. If she says she is Xiao Yanjin, who can make it boring? Say no?
"Second Auntie is the best, she loves Yan'er the most." Xiao Yanyan, who achieved her wish, was not stingy with her smile at this time. She hugged Zou and acted coquettishly.
Zou's eyes were pounding all these days because Madam Zhou was restless. However, after the imperial edict for marriage, it was a bit mixed.
On the one hand, she felt that Xiao Anran had not recognized Xiao Yao, otherwise the emperor would not have given marriage to the daughter of the Xiao family; on the other hand, she was afraid that Xiao Yanyan would not agree. Now that both things have been done, she just waited for Mr. Xiao and his son to come back. At that time, she could push all these to Madam Zhou.
"Xiao Anran, if you didn't reject me back then, why would you have these twists and turns today?"
Zou gritted his teeth and thought about the past...
Just when Zou and Xiao Yanyan in the Xiao Mansion were worried about their heads because of a rumor, Grandma Ding looked full of sadness and helplessness. She touched Xiao Yao's head and softly coaxed Xiao Yao: "If you don't want to marry, your mother-in-law will give you a solution."
Xiao Yao had long known that Grandma Ding was not as simple as it was, but if Grandma Ding didn't say it, she would naturally not ask.
Hearing Grandma Ding say this, Xiao Yao hurriedly talked and joked and comforted Grandma Ding: "Mother-in-law, don't have to think of any way."
Grandma Ding paused her hand: "Yaoyao likes that Xiao Er fool?"
Xiao Yaoluo nodded generously, and then smiled a little embarrassedly: "Mother-in-law, I like Xiao Shasha as well. Before I could tell you, who knew that the saint gave me a marriage."
Grandma Ding patted her forehead: "Do you think that the emperor who is busy fighting crickets and sleeping beauty can still think of you and Zhou You?"
Xiao Yao was stunned: "Is it because Xiao Shasha personally asked him for the marriage?"
Grandma Ding touched her hands: "I'm not too stupid at all."
Xiao Yao remembered that Zhou You had a confident look on his heart that day and said that he would order his marriage between them early, and couldn't help but blurt out: "It's a person who keeps his word."
Grandma Ding shook her head dissatisfiedly: "Where is this? Rumors, we can't just look at the front of us."
Xiao Yao knew what Grandma Ding meant and just wanted to speak, she saw Azuo stumble over and report panting: "Here, come."
Seeing this, Grandma Ding couldn't help but complain: "What kind of appearance is, be more steady."
If Zhou You hadn't sent someone to come and vent his mouth first, Azuo wouldn't know what would happen to this girl.
They are all old acquaintances. After the congratulations, Eunuch Wu began to recite the imperial edict. After reciting, "The two of them are made of heaven and earth. In order to make the beauty of a beautiful woman, I specially grant you the princess of the Qin King. All etiquettes will be jointly organized by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor, and the good news will be held together. The Chinese and foreign countries will be informed that they will hear this. I will be honored." Afterwards, he looked at Xiao Yao with a smile and received the purse handed over by Grandma Ding, and said goodbye with satisfaction.
When everything was settled, Grandma Ding was still in a daze with the bright yellow imperial edict. Seeing Xiao Yao looking at her, she just smiled and said, "I'm tired, go and lie down for a while." She was about to go to the inner room.
Xiao Yao wanted to help him, but he heard someone at the door report: "The Prince of Qin is here."
Xiao Yao paused, she really didn't expect Zhou You to come by now.
"Okay, you can still meet now. When the days are settled, you can't meet at will." Grandma Ding looked at Xiao Yao, who was blushing and pushed her: "Go."
