The hostess only wants to earn merit

Chapter 43
Shi Jian thought that such a woman should be fierce, strict, unsmiling, and maybe also serious in appearance, giving people a rigid feeling... But now that she saw it, she realized that her subjective thinking was outrageously wrong.

Meng Xia looked to be in her early forties, her skin was smooth, only a few small wrinkles were faintly visible at the end of her eyes, which seemed to be formed by laughing a lot.

Her facial features are dignified and soft, and she has a lively image of a lady. When her eyes fall on people, she does not feel sharp, but has a sense of gentleness.Wearing an embroidered cheongsam, she is noble and full of oriental charm.

Not to mention that absolutely no one will associate her with the lady of the fifth family, it is really...

Shi Jian couldn't help being suspicious.

The fifth lady is undoubtedly a beauty, a beauty with both temperament and appearance. Is the fifth lady blind?Otherwise, why would he abandon such a beautiful flower at home and go out to provoke wild flowers?

Could it be that the wild flower is more beautiful than the one in front of me?
Shi Jian's thoughts went astray accidentally.

Meng Xia has been observing Shi Jian secretly since she entered the door. Seeing that her eyes are clear at the beginning, her attitude is graceful and generous, neither humble nor overbearing, not timid, confident and calm, she has a good impression in her heart.

She also quickly noticed Shi Jian's gaze quietly falling on her body, with curiosity, surprise, and then doubts, and finally her eyes became slack, as if she had begun to wander into space!

She was happy.

The Shi family kid is an interesting person.

"Family, we know that Jane is still young and has not yet reached the age of majority, so we discussed it and decided that it is better to get engaged first, and then get the certificate after Jane becomes an adult. The wedding may have to be delayed." Meng Xia said apologetically.

If her son is not awake, the wedding cannot be held. It is impossible to hold a wedding with only the bride and no groom.

Although Shi Liren and Gu Danqiu were persuaded by their daughter, they didn't feel any joy in their hearts. Not meeting the two wives of the fifth family with a dark face was already the greatest self-restraint they could show.

It's impossible for them to greet people from the fifth family with smiles like ordinary people's sons and daughters talk about kissing each other!can't do it!
The old lady and Meng Xia understood the two of them very well, and they didn't ask for anything more. The most important thing is to settle the marriage.

"If you have any requests, just ask!"

Shi Liren said with a dark face, "We don't have any demands, and I believe you understand the situation of our family. We owe a lot to this child, Jane, and it is not an exaggeration to spend the rest of my life to make up for it. We don't ask for anything else, but the rest of her life Be safe and happy. We can agree to this marriage, but we hope you will do what you said!"

"Also, in the future, little Jane will enter your fifth family. Even if you can't treat little Jane as your own daughter, we hope you don't tease her. She is a pure and kind child who doesn't understand the twists and turns of a wealthy family. .She is a person who has one intestine to the end!"

Shi Jian: "..."

This is really a beautiful misunderstanding.

"We won't take advantage of this marriage to gain any benefits, and you don't need to do anything for the Shi family. We only want you to treat Jane well after she marries into the fifth family! This is our only request!"

The old lady and Meng Xia straightened their expressions, and Meng Xia said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will protect her to the best of my ability when Xiao Jian marries into the fifth family! I will never treat her harshly! I also don't want to be a vicious mother-in-law, if you agree to this marriage, you will be the benefactors of the fifth family, and our fifth family will not do things like revenge!"

"That's right!" The old lady said loudly, her old eyes were still very sharp and aggressive, "If anyone dares to bully Jane, I will never forgive him! Even if my grandson really wakes up in the future, he will You can't bully little Jane! You'll be mentioned to someone else!"

Meng Xia nodded her head in agreement, not thinking that there was anything wrong with what her mother-in-law said.

Her husband is a scumbag, and people can't wait to cut him.She didn't want her son to become a scumbag like his dog father in the future.

As a man, you have to be trained to become a good man!
Shi Liren and Gu Danqiu looked at each other, feeling slightly relieved.

Regardless of whether what their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are saying is true or false, at least the attitude is here.As for what will happen in the future, we can only leave it to time.

If the fifth family dared to bully Jane, their family would not be afraid of the fifth family!

Once the most important things are discussed, other issues will be much easier.

As for the wedding... It's fine if you don't, a wedding without the groom, even if it's the fifth family, is just as embarrassing to their little Jane, and they will be laughed at.If there is no wedding, few people will know about it.

The less people know about their marriage, the better, so maybe the less impact it will have in the future.

Weddings are not held, but other procedures are still required.

The old lady told Meng Xia that their fifth family would follow the customs passed down by the empire for thousands of years, and strictly go through the procedures for marriage between a man and a woman, not to mention the gift of money.

Of course Shi Liren and Gu Danqiu would not say no.

Whether you want a gift of money or not has nothing to do with your integrity.How can it be possible to marry their daughter without paying at all?

Of course, their parents would not want the gift money given by their fifth family, and they would all transfer it to Xiao Jian's name by then.The Shi family will also give enough dowry, even if Xiao Jian marries into the fifth family, she is still a member of the Shi family, and she will have a share in the Shi family's family business!
Their family does not favor sons over daughters. The family business is only inherited by sons, and there is no such thing as daughters.

Not only Xiaojian, but also Ruier.

But Ruier is still young, and when she gets married in the future, she will have what should be given to her.But it definitely can't be compared with Little Jane, after all, Little Jane is their biological daughter, if the two get the same things, it would be too unfair to Little Jane!

"We hope to wait until Jane becomes an adult before getting the certificate. If you can't wait, you can get engaged first!" Finally Shi Liren said.

Now that the matter has come to this point, all they can do is try their best to fight for the interests and protection for Xiao Jane.

The old lady replied: "Of course, Jane is about to take the college entrance examination in half a semester, and we won't let other things distract her at this time. First decide on the status, and wait for Jane to go to college. Get the certificate."

They can still afford to wait for half a year!
"Xiao Jian, what do you think? If you have any thoughts and opinions, feel free to put them forward." Meng Xia looked at Shi Jian kindly, with love in her eyes.

Shi Jian shook her head, "I don't have any ideas or opinions, just discuss and decide."

When Meng Xia heard this, his heart immediately softened.

What a pure and kind child.

It would be impossible to say that she took a fancy to the status and power of the fifth family. She should be worried about her family and didn't want to cause trouble for her family because of her own affairs, so she took the initiative to stand up and resolve the conflict.

After she entered the fifth house, no matter what the final outcome was, she would protect the child and not let anyone bully her.

In the future, if she really has no fate with her son, then she can recognize her as her goddaughter!
When Shi Liren and Gu Danqiu heard their daughter's words, they felt helpless, thinking that they didn't know when they could change the temperament she had cultivated in the Taoist temple.

In the past, it didn't matter if you had no desires or desires in the Taoist temple, but now you are back home and you have to marry into the fifth family. If you do this, you will easily suffer.

Shi Jian really doesn't care!

Even if the fifth family repents in the future, it can't help her.

She can leave as long as she wants, and no one can drive her away if she doesn't want to!
Now that she is Shi Jian, she can't do whatever she wants like she did in the City of Death.

Since she used this identity, she had to accept everything that this identity brought, no matter it was good or bad.Besides, these parents are very good to her, and they are also her parents now. Of course, she can't watch them being implicated because of her affairs.

And she is quite interested in the half-dead person of the fifth family.

People like the fifth family are extraordinary, she is someone who wants to earn merit, and she can't let go of any possible opportunity!
Maybe she can earn an unexpected amount of merit in the fifth house!
"By the way, now that the marriage between our two families has been finalized, Xiao Jian is the daughter-in-law of my fifth family, so I want to give Xiao Jian some meeting gifts." Meng Xia said with a smile.

Shi Jian withdrew her divergent thoughts and fixed her eyes on Meng Xia with a little curiosity in her eyes.

Prepared a meeting ceremony for her?

Gu Danqiu said: "You are so polite."

Meng Xia clapped her hands, and the two walked in, Shi Liren and Gu Danqiu were stunned for a moment.

Two people, empty-handed... Could it be these two people that the fifth lady mentioned as a meeting ceremony?

Shi Jian saw the eyes of these two people widen, and then fell silent.

She was also surprised that her brother said that the day was approaching and he hadn't come yet. She wondered if she was delayed by something, but she didn't come.

I didn't expect it, it's late but it's here!
Meng Xia looked at Shi Jian with gentle eyes and said, "Xiao Jian, these two people will follow you from now on, you can send them. They are also your bodyguards at the same time. The outside world will soon know about the marriage between the Shi family and the fifth family. .Although it is said that most people will not cause trouble at this time, there is no guarantee that no blind person will bump into you. With these two people around, no one will dare to bully you."

"Of course, from now on, they are yours and not the fifth family's. They will only be responsible to you in the future."

This means that they will not monitor and control Shi Jian through these two people, but provide her with two people to act as bodyguards.Or if she has any ideas, she can make her own arrangements, and people from the fifth family will not intervene.

Shi Liren and Gu Danqiu didn't know what to say for a while, and even regretted agreeing to this marriage in their hearts.

After the marriage is finalized, I will be sent to the bodyguards for protection. Will I have to pay in the future?

"Little Jane, look at this matter..." In the end, the two decided to see what their daughter wanted.

She sees, what else can she see, these two people are here, brother must know, of course she can only accept it!
Shi Jian smiled, "Then I will accept it bluntly."

It's not wrong to come to her now that she was originally from the City of Death.
