Zhurou

Chapter 54
After the harsh words, Mrs. Xu immediately went to see Li Xun.

She waited for a few breaths, seeing that the other party showed no fear or anger, she couldn't help but secretly sighed.

My husband has always praised Li Er, saying that he is calm and decisive, and the most important thing is that he does not panic when encountering difficulties, and he can handle things with ease, no matter how difficult or dangerous it is, he can always deal with it well.

As long as you are capable in this way, your own family is of course capable. Once you become the person you want to design, it will not be of any benefit.

After all, she didn't want to break her face immediately, Madam Xu advanced three times and retreated one time, then said in a slow tone: "Li Xun, you are a smart person, and you always know how to repay your kindness, why bother to be so stubborn?"

He also said earnestly: "What I said just now is not my intention, but you are too ignorant of praise—a talent like Wan Niang, I don't know how many people are flocking to it, am I going to harm you? As long as you stay, you will gain both people and money. I still have the energy to spare, and when I have grandchildren, I can also help to take care of them, so you can go about your own business and have peace of mind, isn’t it the best of both worlds, and it’s rare to be perfect in this world, so why refuse?”

Li Xun slowly put the teacup back on the table, and waited for her to finish speaking before saying: "I have made up my mind, old lady don't say any more, lest I hurt my relationship."

The ladder has already been given, but the person who comes can't get off. Mrs. Xu has always been arbitrary, and even in the past she rarely gave in to her husband. She was very angry and said angrily: "It's a felony to have adultery with robbers! Li Er, you don't want to You thought I was joking, once you report to the government and go to prison, do you think you can still survive?? You really want to learn how old wives do..."

"Then report to the officer."

She hadn't finished speaking, but when she heard this sentence suddenly, she thought that something was wrong with her ears, and she was stunned for a while before she opened her mouth and asked, "You...what did you say?"

Li Xun got up calmly, stood where he was, and said: "Then the old lady will report to the officials."

Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, she didn't know what to do.

How could she want to do that unless she had to.

The more capable a person is, the less he wants to be calculated. Once a knot is left behind, it will be difficult to get back together like a broken mirror if you want to untie it in the future.

With Wan Niang's temperament, it is impossible to handle Li Xun, but she hopes to get along with each other for a long time, and she will have children in the future. For the sake of her past kindness and future affection, she should cherish a little more.

Right now, if you don't eat lures or threats, are you really going to overturn the table?

After the accidental death of her husband, even the dead body was not seen. All the circumstances were just told by others, and the real cause of death was not clear.

She is an old woman, she wants to prevent her uncle from coveting the family property, live in the family, and raise her eldest daughter, even though Li Xun is there to support her, she has to use her at the same time, and at the same time, she has to be guarded.

After watching these years with great difficulty, I finally recognized his character and dared to trust him. I came up with such a way to kill two birds with one stone. I thought it would be a hit, but it was just wishful thinking.

The daughter can't lift it up like dough, and she has such a fortune. It's a disaster, not a blessing.

If there is no trustworthy person to take care of him, and he will go by himself in the future, this big Xu family, the family business that the old man has worked hard all his life, will really take advantage of others!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu felt sad for a moment, her throat was uncomfortably congested, and she coughed heavily for a while, but as for her face turning blue and lips turning white, she couldn't cough up the thick phlegm, instead she was out of breath.

She grabbed the armrest of the chair, managed to relieve her cough, turned her head, and saw Li Xun standing in front of her, putting down the spittoon on the table with one hand, and adding water to her teacup with the other.

"Li Er..."

She said in a hoarse voice: "How did the old man treat you in the past? Do you want to blame him?"

Li Xun put down the teapot, and said: "Since the person has passed away, it would be better not to mention some things, the old lady really doesn't know?"

Mrs. Xu was silent for a while, secretly resenting her husband for not leaving a single word or making any arrangements before his death, making her so passive at this moment.

The so-called kindness, if the recipient is willing to admit it is kindness, but if the recipient refuses to acknowledge it, it becomes hatred, how could she not know.

Recalling the meeting tonight, Mrs. Xu really couldn't accept it, so she couldn't help asking: "Marriage is the order of the parents. According to the matchmaker, since your parents are not here, treat the old man as your father. I will make it easier for you to be with your mother. Why do you refuse to agree? You said that you and Wan Niang are not suitable, so how did you come to be "not suitable"? Could it be that you have already met a suitable person before you can make this conclusion?"

Li Xun frowned and said, "My current surname is Li, so I don't have the surname Li, and I don't know the surname Xu, but I honor him as 'Master'. When did you ever recognize him as your father?"

Mrs. Xu snorted coldly, and said: "Just ask if it is suitable for you to meet, and you just disregard the relationship like this. Why, are you afraid that I will make trouble for her?"

He said again: "When have you ever had a woman by your side, and this time you brought her back to the mansion, is it that you are not willing to leave for a moment? Then Miss Zhao, is it your so-called 'suitable'?"

"You don't have to cover it up anymore. Although I am old and dim-sighted, I am not blind—is she wearing your old robe today? When you came back from Jingzhao Mansion that year, you only stayed for one day and then left, saying I’m going to sweep your mother’s funeral, and I’m bringing the same one, right?”

Speaking of this, she suddenly sneered, and said: "I saw it was dilapidated back then, and I wanted to ask someone to mend it, but the old man stopped him, saying that it was your mother's belongings, so he wouldn't let anyone do it easily - why, my family can't mend it. No, it’s okay for outsiders to wear it? How can an ugly woman compare to Miss Wan, and it’s worth it?!”

"Old lady, please be careful!"

Mrs. Xu wanted to say, but when she heard this, she looked up, but saw the man in front of her standing condescendingly, her face was as sinking as water, and her eyes were as sharp as knives. It was even colder, but after a while, I felt that my back was already wet with sweat.

She barely supported the chair, and said with a pale face, "What, did I say something wrong?"

Only the tone has softened three points.

Li Xun said in a deep voice: "The Zhao family girl has only known me for a few days. The marriage is a private matter and has nothing to do with others. She is so innocent, how can she involve Zang at will?!"

He also said: "As for the beauty and ugliness, human eyes can distinguish - when she acted righteously, in my eyes, she was far superior to the gods. In terms of courage, she is even more extraordinary than ordinary people."

His voice became more and more cold, and Mrs. Xu swallowed hard, but she didn't dare to speak again.

"Since the old lady wants to say grace, I will say grace - since you know that the adults used to do that way before, you know that I am a down-and-out child, and I only followed the caravan to the northwest to take care of my parents' affairs, but why suddenly Stop halfway, are you willing to keep his men and be driven by him?"

Mrs. Xu was terrified for a moment, she just dared to shut up, and didn't want to ask any more.

But Li Xun said: "Now I am willing not to care about it, and I am willing to look at the past relationship and repay the favor of the meal. If you want to discuss it in detail-do you want to discuss it in detail, old lady?"

"If it really involves other people, I will discuss it in detail. Then please don't blame me for being cruel."
