super concubine

Chapter 9
Hearing that Xiao Mo let Yuniang decide for herself, Qiao Zheng's face became ugly.

Everyone knows Yuniang's intentions, and she is definitely unwilling to leave the Xiao family. If Yuniang can speak out in front of everyone at this time, then Qiao Zheng's coming to the Xiao family to ask for someone this time is not because the Xiao family wants to force Yuniang to stay. , but the Qiao family insisted.

In this case, Xiao Mo can keep Yuniang as a matter of course, and even take advantage of it, Qiao Zheng has nothing to say.

But why did Yuniang make this decision?
Qiao Zheng snorted, and said with an unhappy face: "Zi Heng, thanks to you being a scholar, why don't you even distinguish between superior and inferior? Yu Niang is a girl, how can she be in charge?"

Xiao Mo knew that Qiao Zheng would say this, because Xiao Mo was lying on the bed without incident these days, so he searched many books about An Chao's customs and customs, some of which talked about women, and after reading the books, the positioning of women After that, Xiao Mo couldn't help but sigh.

In the age of patriarchy, the identity of women is so humble!Especially widows, some places even call widows "ghost women", which means the wives of ghosts. If a man marries, he will fight with the widow's ex-husband when he dies in the underworld. That's why it's so difficult for widows to remarry!
It's no wonder that even though Yuniang was wronged by Meng Qiuxiang in Xiao's house, she had no intention of leaving Xiao's house at all.

Xiao Mo leaned against the door panel for a long time, feeling a little exhausted. After hearing Qiao Zheng's words, he answered with difficulty: "How can I not make decisions on my own body?"

When Xiao Mo spoke, everyone's eyes were of course focused on Xiao Mo.Yuniang was careful, seeing that Xiao Mo seemed to be unable to hold on, knowing that his illness hadn't healed yet, she was afraid that he could barely stand for a long time, so she got up to support Xiao Mo, and remembered that Xiao Mo had held on to the door for so long for her own sake , moved in the heart, tears flowed out again, and shouted: "Ziheng..."

Yuniang's body was a bit thin and weak, and it was a bit difficult to support Xiao Mo, but she still helped Xiao Mo to sit on the chair. Xiao Mo smiled slightly at Yuniang, and then said to Qiao Zheng: "Uncle Shi, my nephew was there earlier. I said, I follow my father at home, but Yu Niang is already married, so I have to obey my husband when I get married, but my brother was forced to join the army before he had time to take off Yuniang's hijab, and finally died in the battle! You are still Yunying's virgin son, where did you get the heir from?"

Qiao Zheng heard the words and said coldly: "Nephew's words are good, so Yuniang will listen to her husband's family!"

What Qiao Zheng meant was to hold on to Meng Qiuxiang's original words, Xiao Mo snorted coldly in his heart, and thought to himself: Comparing with me?I have lived two lifetimes, and I have nothing but knowledge in my belly. Could it be possible that I will lose to you in terms of words?
Xiao Mo shook his head and said: "What Uncle Shi said is true, but the Xiao family has been reduced to this day, both father and brother are dead, there is only an old mother, and he is old, Xiao Mo is not filial, he has a serious illness, this illness has lasted for three years, and his mother is sad Desperate, unable to manage the family affairs at all, so the big and small affairs of the family are all handled by Yuniang. In other words, if Xiao Mo is still in a coma, then the person speaking in the Xiao family should be Yuniang. As well as the uncles and the head of the forest, do you agree with Xiao Mo's words just now?"

Everyone nodded. At this time, as the head of Changle Town, Lin Chong also stood up and said: "Yes, for the past three years, Yuniang has indeed supported the Xiao family by herself. What Ziheng said just now, That's right!"

After Lin Chong finished speaking, another old man stood up. The old man was also surnamed Lin, named Han, and styled Dewang. Xiao Dingshan is even a good friend. This time Lin Han was able to come to Xiao's house because he was invited by Xiao Dingshan to help with Yuniang's affairs.

With so many seniors present, and Xiao Mo had already stated his position, Meng Qiuxiang simply fell silent.

Lin Han said: "No matter how the Xiao family treats Yuniang, just based on Ziheng's words just now, it is worth it for Yuniang to stay in the Xiao family for three years!"

After all, Lin Han gave Qiao Zheng a meaningful look.

Lao Lizheng's words were very pertinent and fair. After listening to Qiao Zheng, he seemed to understand something.

Yes, Xiao Mo can say such words, it can be seen that he has great respect for Yuniang, and judging from the address between Xiao Mo and Yuniang, the relationship between the two does not seem to be like that of ordinary uncles and sisters. Yuniang was so determined that she refused to leave Xiao's house. Could there be some reason why she didn't know about it?
Thinking of this, the way Qiao Zheng looked at Xiao Mo changed, from dissatisfaction before to scrutiny now, as if he was looking at his son-in-law.

Sensing Qiao Zheng's strange gaze, Xiao Mo knew that Qiao Zheng might have a change of heart. As the saying goes, eyes are the windows to a person's soul. Through the change in a person's eyes, one can feel the activity of that person's heart.

Now Qiao Zheng's eyes are not as harsh as before, but softened a lot. When Xiao Mo saw him, his heart moved, and he wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so he hurriedly said to Qiao Zheng: "Uncle Shi, according to my nephew, Yuniang still stays. Let's stay in the Xiao family, if Yuniang changes her mind in the future, my Xiao family will never force her to stay, how about it?"

Qiao Zheng heard the words, and said with a cold face: "What if Yuniang's mind doesn't change?"

Xiao Mo replied: "Then my Xiao family will raise Yuniang for the rest of my life. Although the Xiao family is currently in difficulty, maybe it is too early for Xiao Mo to guarantee anything, but Xiao Mo still wants to say that the future Xiao family will only It will get better and better, as long as I, Xiao Mo, are here, I won't let Yuniang suffer any grievances, whether it's in the Xiao family, or the entire An Dynasty!"

"There is no proof in words, how dare my nephew make a written proof?"

After Qiao Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo secretly groaned in his heart. He knew that Qiao Zheng must not be a fuel-efficient lamp, but he never thought that it would be so difficult.

At this time, Yuniang was startled by Xiao Mo's words just now, her mouth was wide open, and she couldn't close it. With Xiao Mo's words, she seemed to see hope again!
At this time, in the courtyard of the Xiao family, two respected uncles in the town, Li Zheng Lin Chong, the father and son of the Qiao family, Meng Qiuxiang and Yuniang, all stared at Xiao Mo, watching him answer Qiao Zheng in this way. , Xiao Mo will stand or not.

Xiao Mo is also troubled in his heart, it's not that he doesn't want to establish this evidence, but how should this evidence be established?

After the death of the elder brother, the younger brother-in-law set up a letter to give the sister-in-law a lifetime of happiness?
Come on, such written evidence is too absurd, even though Xiao Mo has lived two lifetimes and has a thick skin, he still dares not make such ridiculously generous written evidence.

Seeing Xiao Mo's hesitation, at this time Yuniang's elder brother Qiao Wenxuan said dissatisfiedly: "After talking so much, it turns out that you are just a good talker, but you dare not promise my sister a lifetime of happiness in front of everyone!"

Xiao Mo rolled his eyes in his heart, Qiao Wenxuan is even more outrageous, he actually asked Xiao Mo to give Yuniang a lifetime of happiness in front of so many people!

Speechlessly glanced at this stunned head, Xiao Mo didn't know what to say, after all, Yu Niang is his sister-in-law, if the written proof of this promise is not established, I am afraid that Yu Niang will be disappointed, and the Qiao family will not give up like this; If it is established, what has become of it?
Could it be that in the future Yuniang will stay in Xiao's house and refuse to remarry, if she can't get happiness, then she will marry Yuniang in order to fulfill her promise?

What did that become?
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo was suddenly startled.

Thinking of the look in Yuniang's eyes when she saw her on weekdays, and the way Yuniang touched her face and cried yesterday when she was half asleep and half awake, and also, Yuniang would rather be beaten to death by Qiao Zheng than let go of Qiao Zheng. home reasons.

Could it be that Yu Niang really meant to marry herself?
Thinking about it this way, Xiao Mo can explain clearly why Yuniang can take care of him consistently for three years, why Yuniang is unwilling to leave the Xiao family and remarry, and why Yuniang secretly shed tears after seeing himself getting close to Hu Yunxue yesterday.

All of this is actually because, in Yuniang's heart, she has long wanted to marry herself.

Xiao Mo was speechless for a while, what is this called?

In my previous life, I lived quite aggrievedly. I never thought that after crossing with great difficulty, it would still be so unsatisfactory. Not to mention that I traveled to a widow village, and even my sister-in-law is a widow, and she is still a virgin. marry yourself.

But I can't say no. These days, Xiao Mo has seen every move of Yuniang. As a modern person, to be honest, Xiao Mo was very moved by Yuniang's actions, and also admired her for her love. The loyalty and perseverance of the Xiao family.

But admiration and moving are not love!
No, I still need to find an opportunity to ask Yuniang what she means alone, maybe I am wrong or not, but how should I solve the matter of the document in front of me?

Xiao Mo asked Meng Qiuxiang to ask, but Meng Qiuxiang didn't move or speak, just sat on the chair with her head down, not knowing what she was thinking.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Mo finally made up his mind, picked up the brush, and was about to start writing the evidence, but at this moment, everyone heard Meng Qiuxiang shout: "Slow down!"

As soon as Meng Qiuxiang spoke, everyone turned their attention to Meng Qiuxiang.

Qiao Zheng asked with some dissatisfaction: "Mother-in-law, what does this mean?"

Meng Qiuxiang's tears were still wet, but her voice was still a little choked: "Don't embarrass Xiao Mo, he woke up after being in a coma for three years... he doesn't know anything, Xiao Mo can't stand this evidence!"

"Why can't we stand?" Hearing Mother Xiao's words, everyone felt that there seemed to be something hidden in the matter, and Xiao Mo was also a little surprised, but it was Qiao Zheng who was most worried about this issue.

Meng Qiuxiang's mood seemed to ease a lot, she turned around and took Yuniang's hand, and said: "My child, I have suffered you all these years! But Xiao Mo can't stand up to this document, because you are innocent in the first place, you and Xiao Mo Hao has not passed the court, nor has he finished worshiping heaven and earth, what restrains you is nothing more than a marriage letter, but the night before you and Xiao Hao got married, Xiao Hao got the news of the army conscript, at that time Xiao Mo was already seriously ill, Xiao Hao I felt that I couldn't delay you, Yuniang, so I tore up the marriage certificate..."

Hearing Meng Qiuxiang's words, both Qiao Zheng and Xiao Mo were dumbfounded. Of course, the person who couldn't accept the news the most was Yuniang.

Yu Niang just felt that the sky seemed to be falling. In the past three years, she had defended this title for so long. She never thought that in the end, she was just wasting her youth in vain. She didn't have a marriage certificate, and she didn't finish worshiping heaven and earth. After three years in the door, she was still a virgin. In other words, Yuniang cannot be regarded as a member of the Xiao family at all.

Then what am I?
Yuniang's mind also went blank, and she didn't even know how to think.

"What? Torn up?"

Lin Chong was surprised when he heard this, and then said to Mother Xiao: "Sister-in-law, why hasn't this matter been mentioned?"

Meng Qiuxiang shook her head, and said: "I was confused. I thought Hao'er would come back safely. After all, three matchmakers and six hires married a daughter-in-law. How can there be any reason to send her back so easily? Besides, I was afraid that my in-laws would be angry, so I forced her to come back." Watching Xiao Hao and Yuniang pay homage, who would have thought it would be the result now!"

At this time, Qiao Zheng finally came to his senses. He looked coldly at everyone in the hall, and then asked in a deep voice, "That is to say, before the Xiao family tore up the marriage certificate, Yuniang is not the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family at all?"

Hearing Qiao Zheng's question, even Xiao Dingshan was helpless this time, and said: "There is no evidence, you have torn up the marriage certificate, alas..."

Xiao Mo also frowned. If what Meng Qiuxiang said was true, then the matter would become serious. If it was not handled properly, Qiao Zheng would sue the Xiao family to the county government, saying that the Xiao family had robbed Yuniang three In [-], the Xiao family had nothing to say, and they would definitely face a lawsuit in the end. With the current situation of the Xiao family, how could they bear it?

Looking at Yuniang again, she was still in a sluggish state, her whole body was slack, and she sat powerlessly on the ground.

"Injustice, injustice..." Lin Han stood up with a sigh, then kept shaking his head, looking outside the door of Xiao's house. When things got to this point, Lin Han was powerless, so he planned to leave Xiao's house.

Seeing Lin Han get up, Xiao Dingshan also stood up, and said to Xiao Mo: "Xiao Mo, this matter, uncle can only help here, alas..."

After all, Xiao Dingshan also left, only Lin Chong sat in the Xiao family hall with that majestic middle-aged man with a straight face.
