Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 167

In the afternoon, Xiao Wenqing stepped on the spot to find the third sister-in-law and explained her purpose.Cui, who woke up from her afternoon nap, learned that Xiao Wenqing was asking her about her preparations for the gift, and wanted to keep the two uncles giving gifts of the same amount. She was satisfied that the fourth brother and his wife would protect the face of the brother and sister-in-law, so she calmly took out the gift list she had written.

Xiao Wenqing quickly glanced at the gift list, and immediately had a clear idea.

"Brothers and sisters, Jiayu will leave the cabinet in three days, why haven't you drawn up the gift list yet?" Cui asked casually after taking a sip of tea.

Xiao Wenqing's heart moved, and she replied, "Mother forgot to give me the invitation card my eldest sister gave me and Yuxuan. Yesterday when Yuxuan asked, I knew that Jiayu was going to leave the court on the [-]th, so I asked my mother for the invitation card. "

"Jiayu's coming out of the cabinet is such a big happy event, mother will forget it, and you want to ask for it?" Cui was slightly taken aback, and then said, "She will be 69 next year, and according to the tradition of old people who celebrate their birthdays with nine but not ten, she will be seventy." Big birthday."

"Although my mother is very old, I saw that she has good taste and good hearing and eyesight." Xiao Wenqing said, "You gave me incense and dried flowers the day before yesterday, and my mother knew about it the next day."

Cui curled her lips, "Her old man has always liked to control others, you just get used to it."

She has been controlled by her mother-in-law for more than 20 years. She has nothing to do all day long and can only grow flowers and raise fish.Now she only hopes that her eldest son will get married soon and have a son so that she can enjoy her grandchildren.Thinking of the eldest son's marriage, she felt a little annoyed.Although her master was born as a concubine, he is already the fifth-rank You Sicheng of Dali Temple, which is a hundred times better than some other's concubines; After two years of martial arts, even the father-in-law and the old man can only boast of being promising, how can he not compare to the eldest grandson of the prince and grand master who looks like an embroidered pillow?Some people are really blind!

"Sister-in-law three, my mother asked me if I knew about incense, but I didn't understand at all, so please ask sister-in-law three to teach me." Xiao Wenqing said sincerely.

"Actually, I'm not good at this either. I can only make simple incense according to the plan. You will often come to my place when you have nothing to do. We can make spices together, and you can also make some rouge powder for your own use." Cui said with a smile , and quickly hid the unhappiness of thinking of his son's marriage because of his mother-in-law.

"Okay, sister-in-law three." Xiao Wenqing nodded slightly.She knows too little and needs to learn more.

The panting and roaring gradually disappeared, and the sweaty young couple embraced together to rest with their eyes closed, reminiscing about the aftertaste of the joyous sex.

"Wenqing, what did mother say? About the invitation." Ling Yuxuan asked, picking up the towel that had been put aside in advance to wipe the sweat off Xiao Wenqing's face.

"My mother thought she had told me a long time ago, and Aunt Cao didn't remember. In the end, both of them thought they were old and their memory was bad." Xiao Wenqing said helplessly.

"Hmph, aren't those four servant girls standing by her side in spring, summer, autumn and winter?" Ling Yuxuan mocked, "Mother and Aunt Cao have been together for five or sixty years, and the master and servant have always had a tacit understanding."

"Yuxuan, we can only listen to what mother said." Xiao Wenqing smiled wryly.Chunxiang, Xiaxiang, Qiuxiang, and Dongxiang are the four maidservants of the prime minister's wife. Except for Aunt Cao, they are the closest prime minister's wives.

"Well, you must be on guard against her." Ling Yuxuan hesitated, and said, "Mother always thought that I killed my eldest brother, so she always treated me coldly. When I was two or three years old, she almost set Fushou on fire. to burn me to death. After all these years, maybe she still hasn't changed her opinion of me."

Xiao Wenqing was startled immediately, and said anxiously: "Sixth sister said that your elder brother has always been weak and sick. What does it have to do with you when he died at the age of 22?" There was no consummation; after the eldest brother died of illness, the titular sister-in-law was sent to a nunnery by her mother-in-law to become a monk.

"Eldest brother is the eldest son, and my father has always placed high hopes on him, but he was born with insufficient health, and he suffered from serious and minor illnesses since childhood. I was raised by my father as the youngest son under my mother's name, so my elder brother's condition deteriorated rapidly. When I was two and a half years old Passed away from illness. My mother thought that if I was not the youngest son but just an ordinary bastard, my eldest brother would not think that my father had given up on him, so he would persist in surviving."

Ling Yuxuan sighed, "Except for the mother, everyone knows that the elder brother is in poor health and cannot inherit the family business. It is in the interest of the family for the father to choose another son to raise. After the elder brother died of illness, my mother hated me very much. She once had a fierce argument with my father, and then She was as cold as ice to me. After so many years, I thought that as she got older and older, she had forgotten her sorrows, seriously considered the reality and future affairs, and restored her mother-child relationship with me. Unexpectedly..."

He hugged Xiao Wenqing vigorously, and said: "Most noble ladies are dignified and elegant, and old ladies are more gentle and compassionate, but you have to be careful of their honeyed swords." People who show kindness to you are often the ones who are plotting against you. This kind of drama happened almost every day in the palace, and he was tired of watching it.

"I see." Xiao Wenqing hesitated for a moment, and decided not to tell Ling Yuxuan that her mother-in-law advised her to eat more crabs.The mother-in-law pays attention to health preservation, so it is impossible not to know the reason why crabs are cold in nature.Can I assume that the mother-in-law thinks that Yuxuan's appearance killed her son, and now she wants to take revenge on Yuxuan's child?
this is too scary.

Assuming this in Xiao Wenqing's heart, she couldn't help but shudder.

"Are you cold?" Ling Yuxuan immediately pulled up the thin quilt and wrapped Xiao Wenqing tightly, "It's autumn, you should remember to add an extra layer of clothes sooner or later."

"En." Xiao Wenqing nestled quietly in his arms, and began to worry about the future in her heart.
