The matter of betrothal has been put aside for the time being.
Yun Qiao cooperated, but the man failed to live up to his expectations, and it was difficult for Du Xiaoqin to vent his anger on Yun Qiao. The two of them maintained harmony on the surface, and neither of them broke up with each other.
It's just that Du Xiaoqin's two older sons will still secretly cause trouble for Yun Qiao.
For example, Xi Wenqing and Xi Wenzhan would put dead mice in Yun Qiao's bed.
However, when they went back to sleep, there were twice as many dead rats in their bed, scaring them half to death, crying that Yun Qiao had bullied them.
Du Xiaoqin was so angry that she yelled: "Do you still have any rules?"
She wanted to punish Yun Qiao and her two sons.
Yun Qiao folded his arms and watched, saying calmly: "I don't know what's going on."
Du Xiaoqin: "Well, take the servant responsible for cleaning and beat him to death."
Yun Qiao shrugged.
Fourth Master Xi hurriedly stopped him, persuaded his wife to calm down, and asked Xi Wenlan to come forward to educate the two sons.
"They are both willing to listen to what you say." Fourth Master Xi said.
Anyway, Fourth Master Xi himself has little prestige and cannot control his wife or son. However, Xi Wenlan is quite authoritative and everyone in the family can listen to her advice.
Xi Wenlan was gentle and calm: "Dad, don't worry, my brothers are just kids."
Fourth Master Xi: "Wenqing is fifteen years old, and I'm already engaged...forget it, you can take care of me for me."
Miss Xi Jiu came forward and the situation was quickly restored.
The two boys promised not to cause trouble to Yun Qiao anymore - mainly because they had never taken advantage and were frightened half to death by Yun Qiao's counterattack. They were no longer in the mood to tease Yun Qiao anymore.
It happened that the elder sister's intercession satisfied the little man's vanity, so the two children concentrated on their homework and avoided Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao didn't take it to heart because of the small fight.
Her target is Du Xiaoqin, this is her mission, and she can't argue with her grandmother. Except for Du Xiaoqin, she can be cruel to everyone else.
On weekdays, Yun Qiao stays behind closed doors.
She's not doing nothing.
She left Hong Kong, expecting that she might not be able to go back for a while, so she bought all the textbooks for her four-year major.
She studies English by herself every day.
Yun Qiao's self-study ability is outstanding. She didn't plan to study for four years in Hong Kong. She only had two years. In school, she mainly focused on self-study, supplemented by taking classes.
"The first step is to study in writing. Once that's done, find a teacher who can speak English."
Yun Qiao made a plan and followed it step by step. She stayed in her room all day long and didn't feel bored.
After the Xi family matter is over, Yun Qiao will still go to school as planned.
She couldn't waste herself.
The Lantern Festival is here in a blink of an eye.
The Xi Mansion was very lively. Under the eaves, various lanterns were hung on the treetops; on both sides of the road, lanterns half as tall as a person were also placed.
The lanterns are all made of colored glass, and are dazzling and bright, lighting up the whole night, making everything prosperous and warm.
The Xi family ate together again to celebrate the festival.
However, Master Xi Qi didn't come this time.
"This kid, Xiaoqi, is always sick all year round." Before dinner, the female family members sat in front of the old lady and talked.
Yun Qiao was also there, sitting near the door.
The second wife answered: "Yes. Mom, tell me, if I propose a marriage to Xiaoqi, can it be a happy wedding?"
This is said every year, either explicitly or implicitly.
The old lady's attitude was the same as before: "Don't torment Xiao Qi. Everything about happiness is just old thinking."
When everyone heard this, they thought the topic was over.
Unexpectedly, the second wife pursed her lips and smiled and said: "There are advantages to having a happy event. Mom, I actually want to secure a matchmaker."
"To whom?" the old lady asked.
The elderly people are also very keen on pairing up the juniors. When they heard about the matchmaking, they immediately became interested.
The second wife pointed to Yun Qiao, who was sitting outside: "How is Yun Qiao?"
Yun Qiao didn't look at them, but listened intently to what they were saying.
Hearing this, she raised her eyes and looked over.
The second wife waved to her: "Yun Qiao, come here."
Yun Qiao stepped forward.
The second wife moved her position, gave up a corner of the sofa, and forced Yun Qiao to sit down.
"Mom, what do you think of Yun Qiao as a good match for my nephew?" the second wife said with a smile.
Du Xiaoqin, who was on the side, suddenly felt happy.
The second wife's natal family is very prominent. If she gets this marriage, she can not only get rid of Yun Qiao, who is a dragster, but also have a good in-law who can pave the way for her other children in the future.
Kill two birds with one stone.
However, the old lady's expression tightened and her smile was no longer so full: "You sisters-in-law still have to discuss this matter yourself."
