New widow

Suqiao knew that Wan Dequan's words were to comfort herself, but the tears fell unconsciously. Wan Dequan looked at his niece and said slowly: "Besides, people like us always have a bad reputation. You are already married now." Well, you can even ignore your father, so why come to look for me."

"It's different." Su Qiao said this with sobs in her throat: "My father does not have my mother in his heart, but my uncle does have my mother in his heart."

Wan Dequan fell silent when he mentioned his sister, and then heard Suqiao whisper: "Uncle, when you go back, I will go find you and clear your name."

"Your father will not agree." There was bitterness in Wan Dequan's smile, which did not wash away the origin of the Wan family. The Wan family will always be inferior in front of Mr. Kuang, and they cannot compete with the Li family. .

"I don't care whether he agrees or not." Su Qiao only said this. Wan Dequan looked at Su Qiao: "That's not possible. You have to know that in this world..."

"I know." How could Su Qiao not know? The eyes of the world are snobbish, looking at how much power one can hold based on one's status. Lord Kuang's official position is no longer small for the world, but for people like Wan Dequan, it is a power that can easily crush them.

Just like the inexplicable disaster that struck Wan Dequan today, Wan Dequan didn't know how to respond to his niece's words. After a long time, he said: "You and your mother are not the same at all."

"If my mother hadn't married my father, she might not have gotten married so early." In this case, Su Qiao could not say it to anyone else, but could only say it to Wan Dequan. Wan Dequan seemed to have seen her sister.

Sister, my sister was born very beautiful. In such a family, the fate of a beautiful woman can be imagined. Everyone said that if such a beautiful woman is sent to some adult's mansion in the future, if she is favored, then the Wan family will be more prosperous. .

Neither her parents wanted their daughter to be a concubine, so they carefully selected Master Kuang, who was very poor at the time and could only come to the provincial capital to make a living. At that time, he was still a scholar, a poor scholar. Rich people naturally looked down upon him. But if he was asked to marry the daughter of an ordinary family, he didn't think how he could live his life.

So the parents asked someone to inquire and found out that Mr. Kuang was a good person and knowledgeable, so they married their daughter to him with a large dowry. Even the house where the young couple lived was rented by the Wan family.

Two years after the marriage, Mr. Kuang was still up for it. After receiving the tribute, he said he would go to Beijing to find a family background, so he left his sister who had just given birth and took the money to go to Beijing. He came back four months later and said that he had a family background. He went to do the teachings, and then slowly rose up. On the pretext that he was not at home, he sent his sister and niece back to his hometown.

At that time, my sister was unwilling, but her father scolded her. After that, it was a long wait. After her sister passed away, the Wan family knew that when they first went to Beijing, Mr. Kuang married Li As the niece of his teacher, if she were an ordinary person, she would naturally come to her door to talk about right and wrong, but for someone who is a government servant, her status is not worth mentioning in front of officials.

He had no choice but to swallow his breath, and even dared not meet his niece, lest anyone find out that the daughter of an official family had an uncle who was a government servant. It would be a huge loss of face.

Wan Dequan

He sighed: "That's all, that's all in the past. I told them that you live here, and they will naturally protect you more."

"Thank you, uncle." Suqiao's words made Wan Dequan smile again: "Actually, what can I do to protect you? You can even find Lord Tongpan to intercede for me."

"We met in the capital." Su Qiao only said this. Wan Dequan looked at his niece, but he couldn't say those warning words. My niece has grown up. Unlike her sister, she has her own opinion and understands what she is doing. As for me, I can only look at my niece and watch her do well and do well.

"Here, I've made a bowl of soup. Drink it while it's hot." Aunt Zhou had already walked in with a bowl of soup. The soup was steaming and smelled very fragrant. Suqiao couldn't help but smile: "It smells so good."

"This is an old hen raised at home. It has been refusing to lay eggs, so I was thinking of killing it someday. It would be better to just choose a day and kill it today." Although Aunt Zhou was very curious about Suqiao, But he still didn’t ask about Su Qiao’s identity.

Wan Dequan drank a bowl of soup and said to Su Qiao: "You don't have to worry about me. As for the things you said, do them if you can. If you can't, don't make your father angry. No matter what, , he is your father."

Su Qiao wanted to say that she wasn't worried if she got angry, but seeing the worry on Wan Dequan's face, Su Qiao could only nod to Wan Dequan: "I understand."

"Ms. Kuang, don't worry, we will definitely take good care of Brother Wan." Aunt Zhou said with a smile, and Su Qiao also smiled: "Then I'll take my leave."

Of course Aunt Zhou will not keep Suqiao

We were having dinner here and when we were sending Su Qiao out, Zhou Yamen and another Yamen were talking about something. Seeing Su Qiao coming out, Zhou Yamen stepped forward and said, "Ms. Kuang, I will send Brother Wan back tomorrow, and you will also Don’t worry, we won’t let anything happen to him again.”

"Thank you." Suqiao said and took out a bag of silver: "I know you are also short of this, but as a junior, I can't come to visit empty-handed."

Zhou Yamen originally wanted to shirk it, but after thinking about it, he accepted it: "Then I will accept it, actually..."

"It's nothing. It's almost dark. You'd better go back quickly, lest the city gate is closed and it will be a big trouble." Aunt Zhou tugged on her husband's sleeve to prevent him from saying anything to offend Su Qiao. Zhou Yamen kept silent, Suqiao went out and got into the car. Manager Wu drove away in the car. Suqiao leaned against the wall of the car and couldn't help but sigh, "rules, rules, what are these rules in the world for?"

Is it to make everyone have a good life, or to make everyone have a bad life?

Five miles went very quickly. Su Qiao felt that she was just dazed for a while, and the carriage stopped. Aunt Wu's voice sounded outside the carriage: "Ms. Kuang, you are finally back. You have been away for a day, so we are worried." ”

Su Qiao lifted the car curtain, and not only Sister Wu, but also Sister Song was there. Seeing Su Qiao, Sister Song was relieved: "Ms. Kuang, let me help you get down."

"Why do you look more nervous than Mother Wu?" Su Qiao asked with a smile. Sister Song's face was already red, and then Sister Song said softly: "There are some things that I cannot say to Madam Kuang."

"What else could there be? That's it

It turned out that when I was in the mansion..."
