Chapter 258 Rejection (Part [-])
Chai Xiu'e's face was blood red, and she kept clasping the handkerchief with her fingers in her sleeves, and after a long time said in a low voice: "My parents left early, never... never arranged a marriage for me."

The two who were hiding behind the screen breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially the Second Mrs. He put her hands on her chest with a happy expression on her face.

Expressed to the eldest wife with mouth shape: "I'm not engaged."

The eldest lady also nodded slightly with a smile on her face.

The old lady Lu frowned lightly, stretched out her hand and said, "It's really pitiful, come and sit here."

Chai Xiu'e felt sore in her heart, her eyelashes filled with tears, she stood up and took old lady Lu's hand, letting old lady Lu pull her to sit by her side.

The old lady Lu held her hand, and said with affection: "From now on, you will treat me as your relative. If you have any grievances, you can tell me, and I will make the decision for you."

Chai Xiu'e nodded and said softly, "Thank you, old lady."

"My child, what kind words are you talking about?" Mrs. Lu took her hand and looked at it carefully, then raised her hand to stroke her hair, then slowly said: "Since you have no elders in your family, To decide the marriage for you, I have a marriage that suits you here, I don't know if you intend it or not?"

Chai Xiu'e was extremely nervous, and her face was red and hot.

The old lady Lu finally spoke.

She tilted her head and said very shyly: "Although there are no parents in Xiu'e's family, there is still an elder brother." She said softly: "The elder brother is like a father, marriage is a big matter... I have to ask him, I will do it myself Thank you, old lady, for your kindness.”

"Well, it's really cute." The old lady Lu's eyes were full of smiles, "You're right, an elder brother is like a father, and your elder brother is in charge of your marriage." She changed the subject, and she said again: "But I The family who is acting as a matchmaker for you has a very good family background, the other party is a good-looking person with a good temper, and the most important thing is that the child is Xie Yuanlang, who has a bright future..."

She said these few words to Mrs. He Er behind the screen.

The Second Mrs. He really smiled, and her back straightened a little involuntarily.

Giving birth to a son is to give the mother good looks, and her son was not born in vain.

She listened with her ears open, feeling like she was winning.

Chai Xiu'e pursed her lips and remained silent.

The old lady Lu only thought she was shy, and said with a light smile: "You have to know, such a family is not easy to find, so you should think about it first."

"...By the way, you have actually met the other party." Mrs. Lu reminded: "Just a few years ago, in my room, you met him. That child is Sanyatou's cousin He Tai. He is Mrs. He's only son, the He family's family background is one of the best in Yizhou, if you marry, every day will be a good day."

Mrs. He Er was very pleased with what she heard, the corners of her mouth were raised high from beginning to end, and she looked in a good mood.

"...Think about it carefully. My old lady thinks you are a good match, so I want to talk too much to be a matchmaker for you. And Mrs. He Er also has a good impression of you. She likes you very much." Mrs. Lu picked up the tea Zhan moistened his throat, and said with a smile: "Although your brother should be the one to make decisions about marriage, if you want, I think your brother will not object. After all, the family background of the He family is obvious to all. Brother Tai His character and talent are obvious to all, to put it bluntly, such a marriage is really hard to find even with a lantern."

The old lady Lu made a lot of pushbacks in one breath, but Chai Xiu'e only said one sentence: "I also know that Mr. He is very good, but I don't understand. With my background, Mr. He doesn't despise me? He really Will you marry me as your wife?"

She bit the word "wife" very hard, and her eyes were extremely bright, like a fifteenth full moon, Yingying looked at old lady Lu.

The old lady Lu was stunned for a while before she smiled and said: "The He family doesn't dislike your family background, but you should also know that it is best to have two surnames when getting married. Since ancient times, there has been a family saying to her, so... If you When you enter the door, you will be a noble concubine."

"Your concubine? You mean auntie?" Chai Xiu'e looked at Mrs. Lu frankly. Mrs. Lu was a little afraid to look at her pair of crystal clear eyes, and pretended to drink tea to avoid them.

Mrs. He Er, who was hiding behind the screen, squeezed the corner of her clothes, and her heart began to beat.

She originally thought that when Chai Xiu'e heard about this marriage, she would think it was a good match for her and silently agreed.

But now it seems that the situation is not good.

The old lady Lu drank a few sips of tea, and said vaguely: "This...Actually, aunts and concubines are still different, and concubines can stand shoulder to shoulder with the royal family."

"But that's just shoulder-to-shoulder." Chai Xiu'e took up the courage to argue with Mrs. Lu with a smile.

She shared the same bed with Lu Shuyi last night, and Lu Shuyi talked to her a lot that night, encouraging her to defend herself boldly in the future, don't hold back, and don't be afraid of things.

Only when you are brave, others dare not easily bully you.

Old lady Lu: "..."

"I know you're doing it for my own good." Chai Xiu'e took a breath, summoned up her courage and said, "But I don't want to be an aunt, no... a noble concubine, I don't want to be a noble concubine. It doesn't matter if it's the He family or someone else I don’t want to be a concubine, even if it’s the current Majesty, so please forgive me, I can’t promise you this.” She said with firm eyes, “I won’t tell my brother about this marriage either. Just pretend you never told me about it, okay?"

When Mrs. He heard this, her heart was overwhelmed, and her face was gloomy.

She clenched her fingers tightly, as if a stone had been smashed in her heart, feeling dull and uncomfortable.

The eldest wife did not expect Chai Xiu'e to refuse so directly.

At first, she thought that Chai Xiu'e would be tempted. After all, the He family had a prominent family background, and He Tai had the demeanor of a son of the family, and he was still a young man named Xie Yuanlang. Many people couldn't find such a marriage, so she probably wouldn't refuse it.

Even if she didn't agree at the time, she should think about it again.

But Chai Xiu'e's answer obviously didn't mean to think about it.

The old lady Lu sighed briefly: "This is a good marriage, don't you think about it?"

"I don't think about it anymore." Chai Xiu'e's attitude was very firm, she smiled lightly and said, "I appreciate your kindness, thank you very much."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes, obviously unwilling to continue talking.

Under such circumstances, what else can Mrs. Lu say...

Anyway, she has done what she should do, and if the girl is not happy, she can't intervene anymore, so she just smiled and patted Chai Xiu'e's hand, and said: "Okay, since you are not happy, then you can treat this matter as your own." I never said that."

Chai Xiu'e nodded.

Old Madam Lu had nothing to say, so she sent Nanny Qian to send Chai Xiu'e away, and before she left, she asked Nanny Qian to take two packs of bird's nest, saying it was for Chai Xiu'e's health.

Chai Xiu'e accepted it graciously, thanked her and left straight away.
