New widow

"It's useless to say it." Suqiao's tone was still so calm. It was useless to say it because Suqiao knew that she was a child left here by her father, and it was difficult for her uncle's family to take care of her. After all, one is an official and the other is a yamen servant in the government office. Uncle Kuang will not take the yamen servant in his eyes.

"You have suffered." Wan Dequan could only say this dryly, but Suqiao only looked at him: "If uncle is really serious, write a letter to Mr. Kuang and ask him to repair my mother's tomb properly. , I think my mother doesn’t want to be buried with him.”

The Wan family was buried in the ancestral tomb in his hometown. If Mr. Kuang was promoted to a higher rank, he would probably not be buried in the ancestral tomb but in the capital, and the one buried with him would be the Li family.

"It would have been better if I had not agreed to this marriage at the beginning." Wan Dequan's words were full of regret, and Su Qiao only smiled. How can one see so far behind? It is already rare to see it for ten years.

"It was only at that time that my father said that he thought Kuang was outstanding at first glance, so he betrothed his sister to him." Excellence is indeed outstanding. As a tribute student, he can become a fourth-rank official and still hold the title of The seal seal shows that Mr. Kuang is good at sneaking into the camp. How much of this is due to the Li family's contribution is unknown.

Wan Dequan was filled with emotion when he thought of the past, but he couldn't complain to his niece about some of his feelings. When dinner was ready, Suqiao accompanied Wan Dequan to finish dinner, and Wan Dequan said goodbye and left.

Suqiao stood in the courtyard, watching Wan Dequan leave, with a somewhat sad expression. Her father really didn't want to let her go, and even thought of writing to

Uncle, let your uncle persuade you. Master Kuang is unwilling to write to himself, so he naturally knows that he will not read his letter.

"Madam, let's go into the house." Xia Yun's voice sounded from behind. Su Qiao did not look back, but just looked into the distance: "Sometimes I wonder if I died early, as my aunt said, and I am still happy. ."

"It's better to die than to live." Although Xia Yun was surprised, he still advised him. Suqiao smiled: "Yes, it is better to die than to live, but you have to plan hard every day you live in this world. Even, I have hid here, but you are still unwilling to let me go."

"Master Kuang, it's just for the reputation of the Kuang family." This was the reason Xia Yun could think of, and a sneer appeared on Suqiao's lips: "Reputation, reputation, this reputation is important to him, but I won't let it go at all. In my heart.”

"Sometimes, I don't quite understand you, madam." Xia Yun said boldly, Suqiao looked at her: "What don't you understand about me?"

"When you were in the Duke's Mansion, I felt that you were so strategizing that you could think of such a way to leave the Duke's Mansion and live your own life. But when I came here, God damn it, I found that you were actually very unwilling to take care of it. Those things, even, even,"

What Xia Yun didn't dare to say was that Su Qiao must have the means to persuade Master Kuang, but Su Qiao didn't want to persuade Master Kuang at all. Instead, she made a decisive gesture and stopped talking to the Kuang family. Coming and going.

"Xia Yun, you were born in the Chen Mansion, and all you saw were the methods of the mistress of the house." Su Qiao's words made Xia Yun's face turn red: "Madam, I know, I have gone beyond.

"

"How can it be considered a violation of common sense?" Suqiao asked, Xia Yun reached out and touched her face, and then Suqiao smiled again: "I can't blame you, you grew up as a maid, and occasionally you say something wrong. , you will be punished."

"My cousin and I are different after all." Xia Yun murmured this, and Su Qiao held Xia Yun's hand: "I brought you out just to let you know that leaving Chen Mansion and abandoning Those past events are all the same to you."

"I..." Xia Yun's throat was blocked and she didn't know what to say. Song Zhen had already ran out of the room: "Aunt Kuang, sister, what are you talking about?"

"I'm saying that you and Xia Yun are the same." Su Qiao said with a smile, and Song Zhen also smiled: "My sister and I are the same, but my sister is always at odds with me."

Song Zhen's tone was full of coquettishness. Xia Yun didn't know what to say for a moment. After a long time, he said: "It's not birth, it's just..."

"It's just rules." Su Qiao accepted Xia Yun's words. Xia Yun couldn't help laughing. Song Zhen hugged Xia Yun's arm and said coquettishly: "Sister, those rules should be thrown away once you leave the capital."

If they really followed the rules, the three of them would look like three different people. Xia Yun smiled, and this smile was very sincere: "I understand."

"As for me, I don't think about anything else. I just want to live the rest of my life peacefully." Suqiao said lightly, leaving all those disputes and troubles behind. When I'm hungry, I'll eat, and when I'm sleepy, I'll sleep. Don't think about anything else.

That night, Xia Yun and Song Zhen talked for a long time. When they talked about the third watch, Song Zhen's eyelids trembled, but she still

He held Xia Yun's hand and refused to let go: "Sister, now that you are out, all those past events will be forgotten. Whatever others say about whether you are worthy or not is up to them."

After leaving the capital, no one knew that Song Zhen was the concubine daughter of an English duke, and no one knew that Xia Yun was a son of the Chen family. They ignored all the rules.

Seeing how sleepy Song Zhen was, Xia Yun reached out and covered her with the quilt: "I know."

"Sister, we have to go to the temple fair." Song Zhen said vaguely, and Xia Yun patted her hand: "Okay, let's go to the temple fair and have fun."

Don't think about the strict rules or the difference in status, but return to their original identities. Xia Yun's grandmother is Song Zhen's grandmother, and Song Zhen's mother is Xia Yun's aunt.

Xia Yun fell asleep thinking about it. This time, there was no longer any trouble, no matter whether he was worthy or not. Those troubles, whether he was worthy or not, were just what others said. Close the door and live at home, who cares?

The day of the temple fair was coming, and Aunt Wu had already prepared a lot of things. Suqiao looked at the things that Aunt Wu had prepared, and laughed: "What you prepared seems like we are going to buy something at the temple fair. "

"This is called preparing for unexpected needs." Grandma Wu pointed one by one: "This mattress is for preparing you to sit down. How can you sit directly on a big stone? Of course you need a mattress, and this clothes bag is for I specially prepared it in case I need to change clothes. And this..."

Before Mother Wu could finish her words, Song Zhen had already clucked her tongue: "Mother Wu, if we want to prepare as you do, then we can simply ask Sister-in-law Wu to bring the cook and cook when the time comes."

"I'm going to take the cook with me to cook.

It's not such a big deal. "
