Enter the red building

Chapter 90

Chen Qiaoshi sat aside and looked at Mrs. Xue's tired expression, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Xue shook her head lightly. She didn't want this vein to be broken, but she also didn't want her son to live a lifetime without heart. Shi asked: "Sister-in-law, what do you think this person is living for?"

Chen Qiao was taken aback for a moment, never expecting that Mrs. Xue would ask such a question suddenly, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Why did you ask this question suddenly?"

Mrs. Xue bowed her head in deep thought, and asked again for a long time: "If our Xue family has no second wife, how about choosing a successor from the clan?"

"How could it be? No heir? How is this possible? Could it be that Qiu'er—" Chen Qiaoshi was obviously shocked by Mrs. Xue's words, her eyes widened and her body sat up straight and tense, asking loudly .

Mrs. Xue didn't speak. If she didn't want Xue Qiu to go on like this, it seemed that this was the only way to go, and all her thoughts could only turn into a sigh in the end.Mrs. Xue knew about her condition a long time ago, and with a heavy heart, seeing Xue Qiu's gentle smile every day, she finally made a decision.

......

"Mother, do you really agree with my brother marrying sister Lin?" Xue Baoqin sat beside Mrs. Xue, she didn't expect her mother to change her attitude in just a few days, "Is it brother—"

Mrs. Xue shook her head and sighed: "Your brother's heart is dead!" After saying this, Mrs. Xue also felt very heavy. If it wasn't like this, how could she agree.

Xue Baoqin was very puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "My brother's heart is dead? What do you say? Isn't my brother the same as usual?" Xue Baoqin didn't know what her mother meant by this sentence.

Nanny Li handed over a bowl of medicine at this time, and said, "Madam, drink this medicine while it's hot!"

Mrs. Xue frowned, looking at the medicine, she was unwilling in every possible way, but she knew the truth that good medicine tastes bitter, so she took the medicine and drank it slowly.Xue Baoqin on the side hurriedly handed over a handkerchief to wipe the corners of Mrs. Xue's mouth, and Zhiqiu also quickly handed over a cup of tea for Mrs. Xue to rinse her mouth.

After all this was done, Mrs. Xue said: "Your elder sister Lin also heard about that incident and became seriously ill again. Although your brother is worried, he is no longer the one who wrote that sentence before. "

Xue Baoqin knew how deep her brother's feelings for Sister Lin were, but her mother didn't agree, and her body was like that, so she persuaded her brother not to mention that matter again, but now her mother didn't care, so how could she object again? Said: "Mother, don't you care about sister Lin's matter?"

Mrs. Xue felt emotional, and sighed: "How could you not care? It's just that I'm already a half-buried person, and I really don't want Qiu'er to live like that for the rest of my life, always smiling when I look at her, but I'm full of sadness in my heart." Tuan Sishui, let me be sorry for your father! Besides, Lin Daiyu may not be able to marry Qiu'er. I don't want to object anymore."

Hearing Mrs. Xue's words, Xue Baoqin felt very uncomfortable. She knew that her mother already knew about her condition, but she still smiled and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? Mother, you will live a long life!"

Mrs. Xue nodded, knowing that Xue Baoqin was comforting her. Looking at Xue Baoqin's appearance as a new wife, she said, "Yes! Mother will live a long life and watch her grandson be born!"

Xue Baoqin blushed immediately, lowering her head very shyly.

Mrs. Xue asked softly, "Is he treating you well? Does your mother-in-law do anything for you?"

Xue Baoqin quickly shook her head and said, "Husband, he treats me very well. My mother-in-law didn't make things difficult for me. The whole family is very kind to me."

"It's natural. You are considered a low marriage. As long as the Mei family is polite, they will treat you well." Mrs. Xue nodded, like a mirror in her heart, very clear.

Xue Baoqin asked: "Then mother, when do you plan to let your brother go to Rongfu to propose marriage?"

Thinking of this question, Mrs. Xue really didn't know what to do, she just said, "I haven't told Qiu'er yet. Forget it, tell Qiu'er now!"

Mrs. Xue waved lightly, and Zhiqiu came over. Mrs. Xue told Zhiqiu, "Go and invite Master Hou!"

Xue Baoqin looked at her mother's brows that had never been stretched, and persuaded her: "Mother, this brother also said that Sister Lin is just difficult to conceive, maybe after a period of recuperation-"

Mrs. Xue waved her hand. She didn't want to make things difficult for herself and Xue Qiu any more, and said, "Forget about these things, and I don't want to think about them anymore. If there is something, it's fine. Let's choose one from the family! The question now is whether Qiu'er can marry a girl from the Lin family?"

Xue Baoqin also remained silent on this issue. If my brother really did such a thing in his current capacity, I don't know how those censors will slander my brother, and what those literati outside who respect my brother will say.

Xue Baoqin looked at her mother and asked aloud, "Is it true that brother can't marry sister Lin?"

Mrs. Xue didn't speak, and she didn't know what to say. She had already persuaded Xue Qiu. Some things were destined, and no one could control them.

......

"Mother, didn't I say that I would go to Beijing Palace to propose marriage in a few days?" Xue Qiu didn't know why his mother asked this question again.

Xue Baoqin hurriedly said: "Mom wants to ask brother if you are willing or not?"

"Mother decides everything!" Xue Qiu still said that.

Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Qiu, sighed, and said, "I know you must be unwilling in your heart. Seeing how you are now, I don't want to force you anymore, Qiu'er, you—you should go to Rong Mansion to propose marriage." !"

Xue Qiu didn't speak, just looked at Mrs. Xue, he didn't know why his mother would suddenly say these words again.

"Qiu'er, don't blame mother! Mother knows that it was difficult for you at the beginning, and now seeing your smiling face every day, mother's heart is always in pain." As she said, Mrs. Xue couldn't help but shed tears.

Xue Qiu looked at Mrs. Xue, just staring blankly, his eyes as calm as water.

After a long time, Xue Qiu asked, "Why do you say that?"

Mrs. Xue said sadly in her heart: "I know your heart is dead, and you will no longer object to the decision made by your mother.But mother, I don't want you to live like this forever. I won't say anything about you and Miss Lin. It's fate!You can figure it out! "

Xue Qiu didn't know what to say, he had already planned to go on this road, but now he told himself that he could take another road.

Xue Baoqin looked at Xue Qiu's silence, thinking that Xue Qiu still didn't understand what his mother said, and said, "Brother, mother no longer opposes you marrying sister Lin!"

Xue Qiu looked at the two of them, as if in a dream, and asked without sadness or joy in his voice: "Is this road over?"
