The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 794 Extra Twelve: Going To Be A Sister-in-Law
Xu Morou was locked in her own yard, not to mention the door of Xu's mansion, even the door of the yard could not get out.It's just that now she is not in the mood to go out for a stroll, her mood is unusually low, and she is at a loss like never before.

She was even a little desperate.

Parents are no longer the same as before, her sister-in-law is a remarkable figure.In just two or three years after entering the house, not only did she hold her elder brother's heart firmly, but even her father and mother were bewitched by her. Although she couldn't say that she was obedient, but it was almost the same, and everyone praised how good her daughter-in-law was. How capable and virtuous.

Yes, she is so virtuous that she even has to intervene in the marriage of her sister-in-law.Not only did he want to intervene, but he also wanted to arrange for her to marry her cousin.If her cousin was really as good as she said, why didn't she marry herself in the first place?Why is it almost thirty years old and still haven't married a wife?As long as there is some status in this capital, which son will be nearly thirty years old and have not married a wife?

Parents were also deceived by lard, and actually believed her nonsense, thinking that her cousin is a person worthy of entrustment, even if he is a little older, it doesn't matter.Is this a matter of being a little older?It is clear that there is a problem with character and family. How can such a person marry?But parents... actually said that they will be exchanging Geng posts in the next few days!

Thinking of Xu Morou's heart, she wanted to cry, but she cried a lot in the past few days, and now she was too desperate to cry.

Forget it, since Big Brother Ling has no intentions for her, and she doesn't want to marry into sister-in-law's cousin's house, then she'll just twist her hair and become sister-in-law!It's better than being married to a man who is not worth marrying and suffering for a lifetime.For such a long life, she would rather go to a temple to be alone for the rest of her life than compromise and live in uneasiness and pain every day.

Because she figured it out, she has been quite quiet these two days, she has nothing to eat, no one to sleep, and no trouble.

Master Xu and Mrs. Xu were happy when they saw this, and felt that their daughter had finally figured it out.Regarding the person introduced by the daughter-in-law, they also felt that it was not appropriate at first, not to mention whether the family background is worthy of the Xu family, but they are also a little older, approaching [-] years old, and some people in their [-]s are about to become grandfathers .But then I thought about what my daughter-in-law said was right, being older means it hurts!

They only have such a daughter, and they don't want to be rich and powerful, they just want her husband's family to treat her well and her husband to love her after they get married.Considering that the other party had nothing wrong with him other than being a bit older and a bit rigid, they were ready to nod in agreement.

Who knew that Mo'er was uncharacteristically and fiercely objecting that she didn't want to marry.Isn't this nonsense?There is no reason for a woman not to marry. They have been pampering her for so long, and the other daughters have already married off.For example, didn't her good friend Princess Mu also give birth to the young son of Prince Mu's mansion early on?The daughter-in-law was right, they couldn't pamper Mo'er like this forever.

So this time they took a tougher attitude and said firmly that they would finalize the marriage.In the end, Mo'er actually got into a fight with them, not eating or drinking, which made them very angry, and let her make a fight as soon as she was cruel.They didn't believe how long she could continue to make trouble.

Sure enough, Mo'er calmed down within two days.

After Mr. Xu returned to the mansion, he heard his wife say that his daughter had calmed down and began to eat obediently. He was so happy that he went to his daughter's yard with his wife, and his daughter-in-law was also with him.

When Xu Morou heard the servants say that her parents and sister-in-law came over, she didn't feel any ups and downs. She had already made a decision, it was not a joke, nor was it impulsive.

Master Xu, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhang came in together, Xu Morou came out with a normal expression, saluted his parents, and greeted his sister-in-law.

Mrs. Zhang observed her sister-in-law appreciatively.She thought that she would make a lot of noise and be persistent, so that the marriage would be more secure. The more she made a fuss, the more determined her in-laws were to marry her off.

It's not that she wants to target this sister-in-law, it's just that she is really not young, and she will become an old aunt if she doesn't marry again.What kind of thing is it to stay in the mansion and compete for favor with yourself without getting married when you are too old.As for the cousin, he had his own handle in his hands, and she had no choice but to persuade her in-laws to marry the sister-in-law. Who made the cousin fall in love with the sister-in-law?People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves, although my sister-in-law is good to me, but compared with the rest of my life, it is really nothing.

Mrs. Zhang took two steps forward and held Xu Morou's hand, and said with pity: "Mo'er, why do you say you are doing this? You are so self-willed, and I don't even know how much my parents worry about you. You If you don’t eat or drink, your parents will worry with you that you won’t be able to eat or drink, how can you bear it? Your parents are also doing it for your own good, you have to understand their painstaking efforts, they will not harm you!”

Xu Morou gently pulled out her hand, her face was calm, "I understand, it's because my daughter has gone too much these days, and she has made my parents worry a lot. It's because my daughter is not filial."

Hearing what their daughter said, Master Xu and Mrs. Xu were relieved for a while, thinking that their daughter had finally figured it out.

Mrs. Xu sighed softly and said: "Mo'er, your sister-in-law is right, your parents won't harm you. Although that person said he was a little older, it doesn't mean that he has no advantages. Being older Isn't it more loving? Parents also hope that you will have a good family to rely on for the rest of your life, and your husband will cherish you."

Xu Morou twitched the corners of her mouth, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

But she didn't blame her parents, she knew that her parents were also doing it for her own good, but she was coaxed by her sister-in-law.

It's all her own incompetence to blame. If she was as powerful as Xiao Xi, she wouldn't be as passive as she is today. If it were Xiao Xi, she would definitely be able to solve this problem.She thought that she had learned a lot in the past two years and became a little smarter, not as innocent and weak as before, but now she realized that nothing had changed, she was still the weak Miss Xu family.

But she would rather be a sister-in-law than marry such a person. Instead of living in pain for the rest of her life, she might as well make a break early.Although being a sister-in-law is a bit lonely, it is not completely without benefits.She can endure loneliness and misery.

If she can only choose one of the two, she chooses to be a sister-in-law.

"Father, mother, my daughter understands that you want her to be happy and worry-free for the rest of her life. It's just that my daughter has her own plans, and she has already figured it out. I hope that my parents can make my daughter happy." Xu Morou said calmly, with a soft face Rarely in the world, there is a little more fortitude and coldness, and a little less gentleness and tranquility.

Master Xu and Mrs. Xu stared blankly at the strange daughter in front of them, Mrs. Zhang lowered her eyes, and a bad premonition flashed in her heart.

Xu Morou knelt down on the ground with a plop amidst the stunned expressions of the three of them, with a determined expression, her back straightened, her eyes never dodging, she looked straight at her parents, "Father, mother, my daughter has already made up her mind. My daughter doesn't want to marry such a person. It's better to spend the rest of her life suffering like years... My daughter has already made up her mind. She is willing to go to the family temple and twist her hair to be a sister-in-law. "

"Mo, Mo'er, what are you talking about! Are you trying to piss off your parents? How could you say such a thing!" Mrs. Xu was so frightened by her daughter's words that she almost fainted.

Master Xu also looked ugly, and he didn't know whether to be angry or angry.

Mrs. Zhang was also dumbfounded, looking at the sister-in-law who was kneeling on the ground strangely, then shook her head, seemingly helpless, "What a child, how can you say such nonsense? You still have a lot of good times, Why do you want to be a girl? You, your parents dote on you too much, and let you make fun of this kind of thing today and threaten your parents. How can you hurt your parents like this? "

Xu Morou has no affection for this sister-in-law now, and she is not annoyed when she hears her words, but just said lightly: "Sister-in-law was joking, I said it, I made the decision after careful consideration. My sister-in-law thinks your expression Brother is very kind, but it doesn’t mean I feel the same way. I don’t like it in my heart. I won’t be happy if I get married, and it will also annoy my in-laws. How can I be happy in the rest of my life? Instead of doing this, I might as well twist my hair Being an aunt will save us from making enemies and offending people for our Xu family."

Master Xu and Mrs. Xu couldn't believe that their daughter would say such a thing. They were scared to death and furious.

"Mo'er, what nonsense are you talking about? You are fooling around! You are so self-willed to say such things!" Master Xu was furious.

"Father, I'm not capricious, and I'm not being angry. I'm serious. My daughter can't repay her father and mother's kindness in nurturing her. She can only pray for her parents in front of the Buddha every day."

Master Xu and Mrs. Xu were so angry that their eyes went black, and they couldn't speak, "You, you are really going to piss off your parents! We thought you had thought it through, but we didn't expect you to get into a dead end It's getting harder and harder! If this is the case, then you should continue to stay in the yard and think about it carefully! You have to be willing to this marriage if you don't want it!"

Xu Morou was angry, and said impulsively: "If parents don't mind carrying their daughter's body to marry Zhao's family, then feel free to settle the marriage!"

She can't marry someone she likes, doesn't she even have the right to refuse a marriage and be a sister-in-law?Let her marry into the Zhao family, she might as well die!

Mrs. Xu's face turned pale when she was stimulated by her words, and she fell back, fainted from the anger.

"mother!"

After a period of turmoil, the courtyard was quiet again. Although Xu Morou felt guilty, she didn't change her mind. Instead, she became more certain that this was probably her only choice.Look at what the sister-in-law said, she will never give up until she is pushed into a desperate situation.She couldn't figure it out, why did she insist on pushing her into the fire pit of the Zhao family?

She knew that this would make her parents sad, but it was only temporary, and her parents would understand and accept it when they calmed down.But if she married into the Zhao family, her parents would worry about her for the rest of her life.So she has to hold on and not be weak, and her parents will understand her in the future.

Mrs. Xu was frightened by her daughter's excitement. After waking up, she was worried and even regretted.She didn't agree with this marriage from the very beginning, thinking that the other party was not good enough for her daughter, but the daughter-in-law kept saying that it was suitable, and the master finally let go, who knows... but Master Xu was very angry and angry He ordered her to be grounded in the yard, saying that if she couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't have to come out for a day!
Master Xu thought that this would scare his daughter and make her show weakness and obediently obey their arrangements, but he didn't expect that his daughter, who has always been weak, unexpectedly went on a hunger strike this time, even if the maid forced her She will spit it out when she eats it.This terrified the people of the Xu family. The ruddy and healthy daughter lost a lot of weight in just a few days, and her complexion was pale and haggard. Even the doctor couldn't do anything about it.

In the end, there was really no other way, so Mrs. Xu thought of little princess Mu.Knowing that her daughter has always been close to Princess Mu, she is also a very smart and thoughtful person, and she will definitely find a way.

The people of Xu's mansion hurriedly sent people to Mu Wang's mansion.

Mu Jinxi's jaw almost dropped when she heard the words of the servants of the Xu family, she couldn't believe it.

It has not been a few days since Xuerui and Jiahui came to tell her about Mo'er's confession to Brother Mu. She still hasn't figured out how to deal with it. Why is there such a big problem now? My son even made a fuss about being an aunt? !

Mu Jinxi was a little confused.

However, the servants of the Xu Mansion said that the situation was very urgent, and she became a little worried, so she let the servants of the Xu Mansion go back first, and then she changed her clothes and hurried away in a sedan chair with two maidservants. Went to Xu Mansion.

When Madam Xu saw her coming, it was as if she had seen a savior. Without further ado, she invited her to her daughter's yard, and begged her to persuade her daughter not to hurt herself like this again.Mu Jinxi didn't understand what happened, but she agreed.

Xu Morou's courtyard was completely silent, and the servants walked cautiously. When they saw Mu Jinxi, their eyes lit up, and they felt that their master was saved.

Mu Jinxi walked into the inner room, and was startled when she saw the pale and haggard person with a small face on the bed, but also anxious and angry, she opened her mouth and cursed: "Mo'er, what's wrong with you? Even if a big thing happens, you can't spoil yourself like this, hurt yourself, are you stupid? Your body is your own, if you mess it up, you won't have time to regret it!"

Seeing her friend, Xu Morou's eyes turned sore for some reason, tears flowed down uncontrollably, but she still smiled, "Xiaoxi, why are you here?"

"I don't even know what I've done to myself before I come here! You don't want to live anymore or something, just learn what other people do on hunger strike? Can't you tell us if there is anything you can't think about?" Mu Jin Sitting on the edge of the bed, Xi frowned tightly and couldn't help scolding lightly. Seeing her ruddy face without any blood, she felt distressed.

Seeing that her friend was so worried, Xu Morou said in her heart that it was a lie if she didn't feel guilty, but she couldn't help it.

"Xiaoxi, I'm sorry, I, I can't do anything about it. I'm not as smart as you, so I can only use such a clumsy method. Otherwise, I'm really going to marry the Zhao family. I'm not happy. If I want to marry The Zhao family, then I would rather be a sister-in-law! Besides, I am not speaking willfully, let alone being impulsive. I have thought about it carefully. I don’t want to marry into the Zhao family, nor do I want to marry someone else. Even if I can avoid it this time, I can't hide from the next time either. Then it's better to be a sister-in-law, and it's all done once and for all."

Xu Morou's voice was a little weak. She hadn't eaten or drank water for three days. Her moist red lips were dry, and some flakes of skin could still be seen. Her face was pale, but her eyes were unusually bright.

When Mu Jinxi saw the light in her eyes, her heart suddenly sank.

It seems that Mo'er's appearance is not impulsive, and she has conflicts with Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu, but she really has the idea of ​​becoming a sister-in-law in her heart!
Could it be that because of the Zhao family's marriage, she was forced to have such an idea?Is it serious enough?
"Mo'er, listen to me first. Let's talk about something, slowly, and I will help you find a way. You are still so young, why do you think being a sister-in-law is such a good thing? No Speaking of other things, if you become an aunt, we are afraid that we will not be able to get along well. Don’t you want us friends? You can bear not having rich clothes and fine food, you can’t bear a luxurious house, but you can bear not having friends, No relatives, only the sound of wooden fish to accompany you all day long?" Mu Jinxi said in a slow voice with a serious face.

Xu Morou felt her heart tremble, and her unattractive complexion became even uglier. After a while, she smiled wryly and said, "Xiao Xi, I've thought about everything you said. It's just me..."

She didn't have such a heart because of the Zhao family's marriage. Just like what she thought before, even if she can escape the Zhao family's marriage this time, there will be a next time.And after this time, parents are afraid that they will speed up their pace to marry her off, not to mention that she has a sister-in-law who wants to plot against her all day long.She is not as smart as Xiaoxi, she can't handle it.

She doesn't blame anyone for not being able to marry someone she likes, but that doesn't mean she wants to marry another man.She can't even imagine that she will marry a stranger in the future, she can't even accept the imagination, how can she accept that such a thing actually happened in reality?

Xiaoxi said that she could help her find a way, how to find a way?She can help her find a way to solve the Zhao family's affairs this time, but what about next time, next time?She can't rely on Xiaoxi all the time, she should find a way to solve her affairs by herself.

She felt that although being an aunt could be said to be a bad idea, it was still a good way to get everything done.

Mu Jinxi looked at her bitter, hesitant to speak, her heart moved, she had a guess, and asked tentatively: "Mo'er, you, you are not doing it for the sake of Big Brother Mu, are you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw her complexion change, and the guess in her heart immediately turned into affirmation.

She sighed softly, took her hand, and reprimanded lightly: "You, you, why are you so stupid. No matter what the result is, you are not to the point where you want to be a sister-in-law!"

Xu Morou shook her head, "Xiao Xi, you don't understand. It's not just because of this incident that I came up with such an idea."

She spoke out what was in her heart.

Mu Jinxi was speechless for a while, and didn't know how to persuade her, because from an objective point of view, Mo'er's consideration was not completely unreasonable.This is not the modern age. Marriage can be decided by individuals. Marriage here is based on the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, and no personal opinion is allowed at all.

Even if Mo'er can escape the Zhao family's marriage this time, there will be a next time. Master Xu and Mrs. Xu can tolerate her this time, but next time, next time?She will always lose patience, and even if Mo'er doesn't want to, she will be forced to marry.If the other party is someone worth entrusting for life, then it doesn't matter, Mo'er will always fall in love with the other party after a long time.But if someone is like the Zhao family, wouldn't Mo'er be ruined for the rest of her life?
But it's absolutely impossible to be an aunt, this is no joke.In ancient times, even the most helpless and desperate woman would not make such a decision lightly to be an aunt.A woman who can be an aunt, either made a big mistake and was forced, or her life is in a desperate situation, there is no way out, the only way to survive is to be an aunt, and she has no choice.

But Mo'er didn't reach this point, it was mainly because of the marriage.

"Mo'er, you, you actually don't need to be so pessimistic, Brother Mu—" Mu Jinxi said with some difficulty.

It's just that she was interrupted by Xu Morou before she finished speaking, "Xiaoxi, you don't need to comfort me, I understand what you mean. It's just that this matter has nothing to do with Brother Ling, this is my own decision, no Blame anyone, anything."

After finishing speaking, she showed a strong smile, and in turn comforted Xiaoxi, "Xiaoxi, you have to be optimistic, even if I become an aunt, it may not be bad, at least I can live in peace, right? You don’t have to worry about marrying a good person, and you don’t have to worry that the rest of your life will be miserable. You should understand, right? It’s so painful to marry a man you’ve never met and don’t understand at all thing."

Mu Jinxi was silenced by her words.Suddenly, I regretted that I had been babbling about those too "shocking" concepts and ideas in the ears of these few friends.If Mo'er hadn't been exposed to these things, then she wouldn't have to worry about it now.At that time, she only thought that she would not want them to be bound by these strict rules and strict ethics, but she never thought that the inclusiveness of this society is far from being comparable to that of modern times.

And what she said may not be a good thing for them, but harm them.

Mu Jinxi was shocked all of a sudden, and Xu Morou's attitude was uncharacteristically tough and firm, so she couldn't find a breakthrough for a while to persuade her, so in the end she returned without success.

After she left, Xu Morou started to eat, but she moved into the Buddhist hall of Xu's mansion, saying that she would start to eat fast and chant Buddha!
