Chapter 109: Love is more difficult than climbing to heaven
Xiao Ji, the owner of Xiaoyue Villa, is known to everyone who has heard of his name.
As the youngest son of Madam Xiao, Xiao Ji developed a style of doing things his own way and being self-centered since he was young.
His original wife, Xiao Cheng's mother, Zhuang, was brought home by Old Madam Xiao.
Before getting married, Xiao Ji already had a childhood sweetheart.
Unfortunately, someone in the sweetheart's family committed a crime, and a large family fell into ruin overnight.
Xiao Ji wanted to marry that woman, but old lady Xiao strongly opposed it and threatened to commit suicide.
Xiao Ji had no choice but to reach an agreement with Old Madam Xiao and both sides took a step back.
Xiao Ji married Zhuang, and after she gave birth to a legitimate son, he took Xiao Qingmei as his concubine.
After Xiao Cheng was born, Xiao Ji couldn't wait to bring Xiao Qingmei into the house.
However, in order to prevent the family from being disturbed by the arrival of a concubine, the old lady Xiao gave the little concubine a bowl of sterile soup as soon as she entered the Xiao residence.
In a rage, Xiao Ji took his childhood sweetheart away and set up Xiaoyue Villa outside, where he lived a leisurely and free life.
He hasn't been back home for ten years.
Later, Xiao Ji met the eleven-year-old Xiao Cheng at his eldest cousin's house in the capital, and then took him to Xiaoyue Villa.
Today, Xiao Cheng suddenly felt sad about her father's happy life...
Could it be that this boy has just fallen in love and has fallen in love with a girl from some family?
After a brief thought, Ji Wei realized that this boy might have fallen in love with Qin Shu, the young lady of the Qin family.
That little girl...
Thinking of what he heard in the government prison, Ji Wei still feels a chill in his spine.
A girl was trapped in the mansion by her uncle's family. Anyone who saw it would think that this girl would be controlled by her uncle for the rest of her life.
In such a situation, she showed weakness to the enemy, planned her moves carefully, and took every step cautiously, successfully finding a way out.
Not only did Qin Jingchang's evil deeds get exposed and his reputation ruined, but Qin Jingchang's family was also forced to the point of being broken up and killed.
Today, the Cheng family is in a state of panic and unable to take care of themselves.
Her heart is extremely hard.
The scheming is not ordinary deep.
It may not be easy to win her heart.
Plus there’s the hurdle of Old Madam Xiao.
The road of love for the Sixth Master of the Xiao family is long and arduous!
Ji Wei called out, "Someone come."
The old servant in the mansion came over and asked, "What do you want, Master?"
Ji Wei waved his hand and said, "Bring me the good wine I got a few days ago."
The old servant agreed, and after a while he brought over a jar of wine, and also considerately prepared braised pork head and braised beef.
Ji Wei placed the wine in front of Xiao Cheng, and with a smile, he extended his hand, "Today, I will treat you to a drink."
Xiao Cheng looked at Ji Wei in confusion.
Ji Wei smiled and said, "How can I relieve my sorrow? Only the wine in the glass. Drink more, don't leave any for me, when you are drunk, all my sorrow will be gone."
Xiao Cheng sighed with a heavy heart and said gloomily, "Even you, sir, think it's impossible, right?"
Ji Wei gently persuaded, "Let's not talk about the three-year mourning period. We don't know what the situation will be like after the three-year period. Just talking about her identity, will the old lady and your mother agree?"
Thinking of what Qin Shu said outside the South City Gate that day, Ji Wei sighed and said, "Although I have had very little contact with the eldest daughter of the Qin family, I feel that she may not be willing to be someone's concubine."
"You know it's impossible, but you still hold on to it and refuse to give up. It's useless except making you feel bad, making the old lady wary of Miss Qin, and embarrassing Miss Qin."
"Why not stop now while the relationship is still young and things are not out of control? It will be better for you, her, and everyone else."
Xiao Cheng suddenly said sadly: "I'm afraid this horse can no longer be reined in."
It was a very heavy matter, but Ji Wei couldn't help laughing when he saw Xiao Cheng's red eyes.
Xiao Cheng glared at him resentfully.
Ji Wei took a deep breath and was about to speak when a bailiff came to call him.
He patted Xiao Cheng's shoulder heavily, stood up and left.
Xiao Cheng felt upset, but had to admit that what Ji Wei said was the truth.
Grandmother must have noticed his feelings, which is why she asked Nanny Yu to throw away the calming talisman Qin Shu gave her and refused to touch the card herself.
Qin Shu was grateful for her grandmother's care at Pudu Temple and gave her a generous gift in return.
Maybe in my grandmother's mind, Qin Shu was deliberately trying to please the Xiao family in order to get a chance to marry into the family.
Little did they know that Miss Qin might not take the Xiao family seriously.
There is a saying in the underworld: When people are idle, they talk a lot; when families have a lot of important matters to deal with, they have a lot of things to do.
Sure enough!
Xiao Cheng gave a bitter smile, got up and went back home without drinking the wine or eating the meat.
Outside the mansion gate, he met his servant who was looking for him.
When the servant saw him, he was as happy as if he had found a savior. "Sixth Master is finally back. The old lady has asked several times and sent several groups of people out to look for him."
Xiao Cheng suddenly felt a sense of suffocation in his heart, and instantly understood why his father left home without hesitation.
He took a deep breath and went to Rong'en Hall.
The old lady had a headband on her forehead with two round plasters on the left and right corners of her forehead. She looked sallow and listless as she lay on the short couch.
A little girl knelt on the footstool, gently massaging the old lady's legs with a beauty hammer.
Hearing the maid's voice, the old lady opened her eyes and said weakly, "He's like a monkey. For most of the day, there's not even a shadow of a person to be seen."
Xiao Cheng smiled and sat beside the old lady, saying, "My grandson went to the government office. I heard that my grandmother sent someone to look for me, so I hurried back, didn't I?"
He smiled and said, "I originally planned to return to Xiaoyue Villa after the Lantern Festival to prepare for next year's martial arts exam, but I was worried about my grandmother..."
Madam Xiao patted Xiao Cheng's hand and said, "Grandmother understands that participating in the martial arts exam is more important. If you are truly filial, you should quickly marry a wife and have a child so that your mother can also enjoy the happiness of family life."
Xiao Cheng complained in his heart: Marry a wife?
Will I repeat my mother's tragedy by marrying her?
In this big mansion, among those women who stay alone in an empty room or put on a brave face while taking concubines for their husbands, which woman is truly happy?
Xiao Cheng forced himself to respond with a few words and then returned to his own yard.
Nanny Yu looked at Xiao Cheng's back thoughtfully, and whispered to Old Madam Xiao: "Looking at Master Jiu's expression, I'm afraid he still can't let go of the eldest lady of the Qin family."
Madam Xiao snorted coldly and said, "Marry a virtuous wife and a beautiful concubine. An unruly concubine is the source of trouble for the family. As long as I am here, I will never allow such a troublemaker to enter the door of my Xiao family!"
Nanny Yu frowned slightly, "But, that calming talisman..."
The old lady waved her hand gently, "It may not be the work of the tranquilizing talisman. The eldest brother has already sent a letter to the capital, asking the imperial physician to prescribe some of the same pills as before."
Nanny Yu felt a little relieved and replied softly, "Yes."
She had taken the initiative to burn the calming talisman before, and because she was afraid that her master would blame her for acting on her own, she mentioned Qin Shu in front of the old lady.
As expected, the old lady was fed up with that woman and never mentioned the calming talisman again.
Qin Shu didn't know that her good intentions made others think so much.
She was directing the people in the mansion to pack their luggage, preparing to set off for Gushan Manor in two days.
