Mrs. Xu obviously didn't believe it. Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Wu interrupted her again: "Mrs. Xu, you have to know one thing. We are in Yujia Academy now, so this matter can be kept secret and even tolerated.
We need to discuss it privately, but if we are not in the Yu family, it will be your Xu family that will really damage the reputation."
"Since ancient times, women have suffered in this kind of thing. You are right about this, but don't forget that Pingxuanhou Mansion has a century-old title. It will always be a head above your Xu family. My sister
This person has a somewhat introverted personality. No one has heard of her before, but Xu Yi is different. Everyone knows that Xu Yi is in poor health, which also leads to the fact that he is already twenty-two years old and has not married yet. Who knows?
It’s really not certain who is higher or lower.”
"If you want to say that it was my sister who took the initiative, may I ask, what is she after? Is there anything in your Xu family that is worthy of her attention?"
Mrs. Xu's face was already livid, but she still said harshly: "But no matter what, once this woman loses her body..."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wu laughed again: "So what? My sister just became Mingzhi, and she has already injured herself. Even if my father just said that she will never marry, it is for the sake of honor and reputation. For us, Hou
As far as the government is concerned, it can be regarded as adding a good reputation, but if this matter spreads out, outsiders will only say that my sister is pitiful and unkind to others, but your Xu family is different."
She glanced at Xu Yi who was standing blankly at the door, and said softly: "But Xu Yi will become a person who always gives up and changes his mind, ruining his life. And Xu Yi is already twenty-two, and he has nothing to do.
His merits are nameless, what’s the use of having a father who is a commander-in-chief?”
"Master Xu, as far as I know, there are many concubines and concubines in your house. Xu Yi's biological mother has died long ago. Judging from the attitude of the two of you just now, you don't care much about this son, so why waste time with us here?
What? My sister is from a noble family, so there is no way she would commit herself to being a concubine."
Jiang Wu had already said this. Of course, Mr. Xu immediately stopped Mrs. Xu from speaking again. His attitude was a bit humble: "Miss Jiang's words are reasonable. Since things have happened, the family background and appearance of the two children are exactly the same."
If we match each other, it would be better for the adults on both sides of us to make a smooth relationship, and it would be a nice talk."
Everyone thought that the matter would end here. Even Aunt Chen stopped crying. For her, the best outcome was for Jiang Xuelan to marry Xu Yi.
No matter how much Jiang Wu said that Xu Yi was worthless, no matter how much he raised the status of the Hou Mansion, no one in the Jiang Mansion could hear it. Aunt Chen never wanted her daughter to have an ancient Buddha with a green lantern that would always be with her in the future.
.
Jiang Wu said, "I just said that my sister will have to nod her head for this."
She looked at Xu Yi with a smile as bright as a flower: "If I can't protect everything, Mr. Xu will have to kneel in front of my sister and beg her."
…
After Jiang Xuelan woke up, the first person she saw was Jiang Wu.
This eldest sister, who was not very close to her, carefully tucked her quilt. Jiang Xuelan looked at her and couldn't help but shed tears as she looked at her: "Sister."
Jiang Wu hurriedly said: "Stop crying, you hurt your forehead, and you will get a headache when you cry."
Jiang Xuelan looked at her with tearful eyes, "Where is my mother?"
Jiang Wuze told her everything that happened today, and she said: "The Xu family's attitude now is that as long as you are willing, they will marry you as your official wife. If you have any other requests, you can also make them."
Jiang Xuelan was stunned: "The principal wife... did they agree?"
Jiang Wu nodded and did not say how he argued with them. He just said: "It was the Xu family who did something wrong before. Now I have made the matter clear. But you also have to understand that this is your own business after all. Marry
If you don't marry, it's up to you."
Jiang Xuelan's eyes were still dim: "Do I have a choice? It's a done deal. I can only get married. Do you know what Xu Yi said to me just now? He said that if I marry him, there will be no good life in the future.
pass."
Jiang Wu frowned slightly: "Did he really say that? In fact, my father also said just now that if you don't want to, you don't have to marry. The Hou Mansion won't be able to support you."
Jiang Xuelan faced her sister for the first time. She originally thought that if something like this happened to her, all the women in the house would be worried about her being implicated, but she didn't expect that Jiang Wu acted like he could do anything to her.
It looks like a choice, but this world is unfair to women...
Jiang Xuelan forced a smile: "I will marry you, I am willing."
Jiang Wu still hesitated: "Seriously?"
Jiang Xuelan lowered her eyes: "Seriously, I have no better choice now. Sister, I sincerely call you sister today. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to see each other in the future."
Although Jiang Wu inexplicably felt that Jiang Xuelan's words were strange, since she wanted to, she couldn't say anything. He tucked her in and was about to go out. As soon as she stood up, Jiang Xuelan grabbed her wrist. Jiang Xuelan
Question: "Is Hongyu...here?"
Jiang Wu then remembered that these two people were friends before, and she didn't know how deep the connection between them was, so she answered as usual: "He was the one who saved you just now."
Just this sentence made Jiang Xuelan burst into tears.
Jiang Wu thought she was reminiscing about the past, so without thinking much, she opened the door and went out. Standing outside the door was Xu Yi.
He changed his clothes and now looked a little sad.
Jiang Wu always had a good face towards him. She said lightly: "What are you doing here?"
Xu Yi looked a little embarrassed: "My father asked me to come. He said he wanted to ask for Xuelan's forgiveness."
Jiang Wu looked at him coldly and suddenly sneered: "Your previous attitude was not like this. According to your previous attitude, shouldn't you want Xuelan to hit her to death? You even put down your words before and said...
Xuelan will definitely not have a good life if she marries into your Xu family."
Xu Yi's face gradually turned red, and he muttered, unable to say any more words.
As Jiang Wu was talking, something suddenly hit her heart - No, Jiang Xuelan's reaction just now shouldn't be like this. No one ever investigated why last night happened. Jiang Xuelan chose to commit suicide just now because she heard
After hearing Mrs. Xu's words, she felt humiliated and perhaps also despaired of the future.
But now, Jiang Wu has told her that things have taken a turn for the better. Now there are two ways before her, one is to marry Xu Yi and be his wife, the other is to live a good life without marrying.
Admittedly speaking, this may not be a good result, but it is indeed a better result in this era.
But Jiang Xuelan's reaction was more like it didn't matter...
