famous eldest daughter

Chapter 196 Negotiation
Hearing this, Mrs. Bai immediately said displeasedly: "You are such a big kid, and he cries every time. You are too pampered with him. Just let him cry when he wants to. He has tears hanging on his face all day long, as if I have scolded him." It seems that he eats a lot and wears a lot, so there is no need to cry in mourning."

Dong Xueyi's hand holding the handkerchief trembled suddenly, and the root of her nose felt sore.

Ever since she returned to her parents' home with Song Zhehe, her mother's attitude towards her and Brother Ting has been completely different from before.

In the past, my mother was a kind-hearted grandmother who cared about her grandson, but now, she treats Brother Ting...

After taking a deep breath and no longer having the energy to say more to Bai, Dong Xueyi stood up, opened the curtain and left.

The corners of Bai's mouth twitched, and she said from behind Dong Xueyi: "Who do you show to me with such an expression on your face, as if I have bullied you girls!"

When Dong Xueyi raised her feet, her shoulders trembled for a while, she raised her hands to cover her face, and her steps accelerated a lot.

Seeing his mother like this, Dong Ce felt as if someone had cut him with a knife. He said, "What mother said is too much." He turned around and chased Dong Xueyi.

Dong Ce opened the curtain and left, and Bai called him anxiously, "Come back, I have something to say to you."

Dong Ce turned a deaf ear and chased after Dong Xueyi.

"Sister, wait for me, eldest sister." Dong Ce was a man after all, and he caught up with Dong Xueyi who ran away with red eyes in a few steps.

Dong Xueyi happened to walk to the corner of the corridor, and the great grief in her heart caused her to stagger, and she fell sideways on the pillar beside her, hugging the pillar and sobbing.

Dong Ce walked to Dong Xueyi's side, took her shoulders and helped her sit down on the bench in the corridor.

Leaning on Dong Ce, Dong Xueyi cried more and more violently.

It seemed that the grievances and sourness that had been held in my heart for the past few days could no longer be endured, and they all came out in a swarm.

After crying for several cups of tea, it seemed that all the emotions in her heart were vented. Dong Xueyi gradually stopped crying, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to see Brother Ting like this. You Go coax him for me."

Dong Ce sighed, his eyes full of heartache and sourness, and said: "Sister, Brother Ting is fine. He is dancing in the yard. He is fine."

"Then you..." Dong Xueyi was startled when she heard this.

Dong Ce lowered his voice and told Dong Xueyi what Xiao Yu said.

Listening to Dong Ce's words, Dong Xueyi's choking voice gradually disappeared. When Dong Ce finished speaking, the sadness on Dong Xueyi's face disappeared and she returned to her usual composure.

After pondering for a moment, Dong Xueyi said: "He means that as long as it can be delayed for fifteen or twenty days, this matter will be solved?"

Dong Ce nodded, "That's what it means."

"He didn't say how?"

Dong Ce shook his head, "No."

Dong Xueyi took a breath and sighed slowly, looking at the wilted flowers and plants in the distance that were scorched by the scorching sun, she was in a trance for a moment, her eyes flashed a little, and she said: "Now, there is no better way, just listen to him. Well, he did very well in the matter of Zhenguo Gongfu."

As he said that, Dong Xueyi's expression moved slightly, and then said: "If our family's status in the court can be higher, and my father can be more powerful and capable, he will also have a chance to compete for that position." He let out a long sigh, Dong Xueyi looked sad and said: "For nothing, he is favored like that, but our family can't live up to it. It's just that we can't support him, and we have to involve a lot."

Dong Xueyi's words made Dong Ce's heart tremble violently.

Although he knew that Xiao Duo and Xiao Yi were always fighting openly and secretly about aspiring to the throne, he had never really thought about it.

I never thought that Xiao Yu was also the emperor's son, and he was the most favored one. Even though he was ignorant and dissolute, he still had the qualifications to aspire to the throne.

Now after receiving Dong Xueyi's words, Dong Ce felt as if the fog had been blown away in his heart, and he became much clearer. He bit his lip for a moment, Dong Ce looked at Dong Xueyi seriously, his face darkened, and said: "Sister, if I work hard, will it be possible?" How can I help Xiao Yu?"

Dong Xueyi glanced at Dong Ce, pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm just sighing. You don't even have an official position now, so why do you work hard?"

Dong Ce's eyes were firm, and he said: "If you don't have an official position, what are you afraid of? To win the world, in addition to the support of the humerus ministers in the court, you also need military power. Since ancient times, those who have military power have won the world. If I have military power, I will be against Xiao Yu." The best support.”

Dong Xueyi smiled "poof", "It's easier said than done to hold military power, besides you..." Halfway through her words, Dong Xueyi met Dong Ce's clear but unwavering eyes, and her heart trembled, "Are you serious?"

Dong Ce clenched his fist and nodded, with a perseverance and sharpness on his face that he had never seen in more than ten years. Dong Xueyi's eyes flashed slightly and said: "If you are determined, just do it, I support you."

If my brother is willing to have this heart and works hard, maybe he can really become famous!

The Yongning Marquis Mansion can be considered a successor.

Even if Xiao Yu really couldn't help Adou, as far as his younger brother was concerned, it was nothing but a good thing, so she naturally gave her full support.

When the matter was finalized, Dong Ce felt as if a huge wave had rolled over his heart, and his clenched fists trembled slightly in excitement. For a full quarter of an hour, his eyes still had a fiery luster.

After a while, he completely turned his mind away from this matter, and the topic returned to Dong Xueruo's marriage, which was giving him a headache. He said to Dong Xueyi: "Sister, do you have any way to delay it? My father has made an agreement with others. I will send Third Sister there to get married in ten days."

Dong Xueyi said firmly: "It's not difficult, not to mention a delay of 20 days, even a month is fine, but no matter how long it takes, there is nothing I can do."

Dong Ce said with a smile: "Xiao Yu said, up to 20 days, 20 days is enough."

At this time, Dong Xueyi's mood gradually relaxed, and she couldn't help but tease Dong Ce, "You haven't done what Xiao He and Zhang Liang did, and you just obeyed Xiao Yu's words?"

Dong Ce knew that Dong Xueyi was referring to what he had just decided to do, and he couldn't help turning red, scratching the back of his head and saying, "I'm not Zhang Liang, I'm Guan Gong!"

Dong Xueyi smiled. After laughing, something came to mind. There was a hint of desolation in her eyes. She asked Dong Ce, "How is the house I asked you to look at for me?"

When Dong Ce heard this, his smile faded and he said, "Sister, are you really going to move out?"

Dong Xueyi smiled bitterly and said: "The way things are now, we can only move out. It's not like you don't know about my mother, so I don't mind. But Brother Ting is still young, and I can't let him grow up in such an environment."

Dong Ce's eyes were filled with sorrow, and he sighed deeply in his heart, why did his mother become like this... After a moment, he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether I move out, it's just the house in Baizhifangqiao that my eldest sister likes. I went to take a look, but it seems a little too small."

Dong Xueyi smiled and said: "What are you afraid of if you are smaller? Brother Ting and I are the only two people living here. The house is big, but I feel uneasy. Besides, a big house costs more money. Now, I can save a penny." It’s one point.”

Dong Xueyi smiled with peace of mind, but Dong Ce clenched his fists and said angrily: "My mother has gone too far. She even took back the eldest sister's dowry!"
