Chapter 34 The real purpose
Chapter 34 The real purpose
Although Luo Shi did think so in her heart, she did not dare to admit it. Instead, she advised earnestly, "Sister Liu, please don't say such harsh words. I am really thinking about Jiaojiao. Think about it carefully. Are those wealthy families in the capital easy to get along with?
If Jiaojiao goes alone, won't she be isolated and helpless? What will happen to Jiaojiao if Xie Xiu takes seven or eight concubines? Won't she be eaten alive by those shameless vixens? "
Tu Yong was so angry that he wanted to smash the table and throw Luo out on the spot.
Just a look from Liu Zhichun made him shut up obediently.
Liu Zhichun smiled and said, "Does Sun Qingqing know what you're talking about? For something like this, she has to be willing to do it herself. We can't let her down."
Seeing her concerned smile, Mrs. Luo assumed she had heard what she had said and quickly said excitedly, "Of course Qingqing is willing. I specifically asked her what she thought. I only came because she was willing! After all, she is my flesh and blood. If she didn't want to, how could I let her down?"
Liu Zhichun still smiled, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze: "Let her speak in person, I want to ask her what she means in person.
We had asked her before about getting engaged to Song Xingzhou, and she didn't object at the time, so we decided on the marriage. Who knew that she was actually not happy about it?
Girls are shy and may only agree verbally, but not in their hearts. Being a mistress is not the same as being someone's wife. If she is not happy in her heart, won't she be wronged for the rest of her life?
So this matter must be handled with caution. Go back and ask her again. If she's really willing, let her come to us in person so we can confirm it clearly and avoid ruining her life."
She spoke very nicely. Even though Mrs. Luo had always been dissatisfied with her, after hearing what she said, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Instead, she began to consider Sun Qingqing in every way.
So he quickly agreed with a smile: "Okay, I'll go back and talk to Qingqing, and then bring her over."
Liu Zhichun smiled and sent her out.
When Mrs. Luo saw that she actually came to see him off in person, she felt that she was moved and wanted Sun Qingqing to help Tu Jiaojiao. So she was so happy that she rode in a donkey cart and rushed back to the county town with a beaming face.
As soon as Liu Zhichun sent Luo away and closed the door of the Tu family, the smile on her face turned into a sarcastic sneer.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Xie Rou and Xie Tang looking at her aggrievedly.
She was startled at first, then asked, "Did you all hear it?"
Xie Rou's eyes were filled with tears, and she pursed her lips without saying a word.
Xie Tang was much more impulsive. He clenched his fists and looked at Liu Zhichun stubbornly: "Grandma, do you really want Sun Qingqing to be Daddy's mistress?"
As he spoke, his voice choked, and he was obviously very aggrieved.
Liu Zhichun smiled and touched his head: "What a silly child! Grandma lied to her, and you actually believed it? Grandma only has your mother as her daughter. Do you think Grandma would let someone else be your father's concubine?"
When Xie Rou and Xie Tang heard this, their eyes lit up and they looked at her excitedly: "Grandma, are you really just lying to her?"
Liu Zhichun smiled and explained to the two of them, "Of course. They are so shameless and calculating. If we don't coax them into speaking out what they are thinking, wouldn't that be giving them an advantage?
That's why grandma deliberately coaxed her to speak out her thoughts, and then called Sun Qingqing over and nodded in person. Only when they nodded themselves could people see their true colors.
Otherwise, they will cunningly hide it and refuse to speak. Even if we guess their dirty thoughts and tell them everything, they will still deny it to the death, understand?"
Xie Rou's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "I know! Sun Qingqing said before that grandpa and grandma arranged a marriage for her, but she didn't want to at all, and it was grandpa who deliberately humiliated her!
Humph, she clearly didn't object before, but now she's saying she doesn't want to, and is even trying to shift the blame. It's clear she's trying to deny it to the bitter end!"
Liu Zhichun patted Xie Rou's head approvingly. "Rou'er is right. So if we encounter such a shameless and cunning person, we must not act impulsively. We must find a way to make her confess all her dirty thoughts without letting anyone find fault with us and think that we are being tortured into confessing."
The two children nodded in agreement, and then Xie Rou asked, "Will Sun Qingqing come?"
Liu Zhichun said meaningfully, "She definitely won't come today. As for whether she will come in the future, it depends on how ambitious she is."
After a pause, she asked Xie Rou, "Do you know why she won't come today?"
Xie Rou thought for a moment and said, "It's not a good deal to be the one who's chasing after others. Sun Qingqing looks down on Song Xingzhou. Daddy said she thinks too highly of herself.
So I think that even if someone like her really wanted to be Daddy's mistress, she wouldn't rush to come. She would always delay for a few days to appear reserved."
"Rou'er is really smart." Liu Zhichun praised her even more, "You're right to think so. If she wanted to come, she would have come with Luo.
Since she didn't do that and let Luo Shi come on her own, it means that either Luo Shi is lying and she is not willing to do it, or that although she is moved, she is pretending to be reserved and doesn't want to rush in and be looked down upon."
Xie Tang curled his lips in disdain and raised his chin. "It would be better if she didn't come. I don't want my father to take a concubine! Those concubines are all vixens, none of them are good!"
Liu Zhichun didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly sighed: "That's not the case. There are many people in this world who are forced to do things against their will. They are also forced to do so and just want to protect themselves."
Xie Tang looked at her in confusion. He was too young and had been spoiled by his family. He had never seen the sufferings of the world and naturally could not understand the helplessness of many people.
Liu Zhichun didn't want him to know all that at such a young age, so he warned him: "Remember, no matter what you think in your heart, don't say it out loud in front of outsiders."
Xie Tang nodded obediently, then thought of something and couldn't help but puff out his chest proudly: "I know everything grandma said! When grandpa and the Black Qilin Guard were here, I didn't say anything!"
"Good boy." Liu Zhichun smiled and touched him, "Go back and don't let your parents worry."
The two of them also wanted to go back and tell their parents the news, so they nodded obediently, turned around and ran away.
At the Xie family next door, Tu Jiaojiao was still leaning on the bed because she was recuperating after giving birth.
Xie Xiu was sitting on the bed reading a book.
Xie Tang suddenly ran in: "Dad! Mom! Do you know what Madam Luo is here for?"
The two looked at him in surprise, and Xie Ying, who was lying in the cradle, also pricked up her ears secretly.
Tell me quickly!
She has been waiting to eat melon!
Tu Jiaojiao asked curiously, "What is she doing here?"
Xie Tang immediately told Luo's plan: "She said that if Mom went to the capital alone, she would be bullied by the vixens there. She also said that Dad would take seven or eight concubines in the future, so she wanted Sun Qingqing to be Dad's mistress!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Tu Jiaojiao's face turned dark instantly.
Xie Xiu's face darkened and he said unhappily, "No matter where I go from now on, I won't take a concubine!"
Although he guessed that Luo's visit this time must be for no good reason, he did not expect that the woman actually had such thoughts!
Let Sun Qingqing be his mistress?
What was he when he thanked Xiu?
He is not so hungry as to be indiscriminate about food!
