After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

When Shen Xuan returned to the carriage, the maid was surprised: "Why did Miss come out so soon? Did you give the silver ticket to Mr. Xiao?"

"He doesn't lack this little money." Shen Xuan said indifferently, "He didn't mean to keep me sitting for a long time, why should I annoy people there?"

The maid frowned: "So, Mr. Xiao didn't like Miss?"

"How is it possible? He just wanted to put on a show to get my attention." Shen Xuan opened the curtains with some melancholy, looking out at the soft snow outside, "He has already started buying red lanterns and all kinds of things in private. The mansion is decorated with red curtains, presumably he plans to marry me next spring... He is so annoying, he doesn't even ask for my opinion. I hate this kind of people who make their own decisions the most."

The maid suggested: "Do you want to report back to the master and let the master prepare the dowry for you?"

A wicked look flashed in Shen Xuan's eyes: "No need. Let's just pretend we don't know and deliberately not prepare anything. When the time comes, I won't change my wedding dress or get on his bridal sedan chair. I have to see him kneel down and beg me. to marry him."

In her boudoir, all the words books that can be bought on the market are hidden in the market. She is a girl who has read countless love stories.

Isn't it easy to handle Xiao Fengxian?
the other side.

study.

After Shen Xuan left, Xiao Lingxiao said solemnly: "Second brother, we have something to discuss with you. This matter has something to do with Wei Zi, and it is of great importance. Please screen out irrelevant people."

In their eyes, the only irrelevant person is the girl behind the screen.

Xiao Fengxian guessed that it had something to do with Wei Zi's life experience, so she turned her head with a smile: "Mo'er, can you avoid it for a while?"

Mo'er...

Wei Zi squeezed the needle and almost pricked his own hand.

Xiao Fengxian is so unreliable, he even shouted such shameful nicknames in front of everyone in the Xiao family.

She never admitted it was her fine print!

She blushed, got up without a word and left through the back door of the study.

She didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations, and was about to go to the ear room next door to have tea, but she remembered that the sentence in Xiao Lingxiao's words was related to her, so she abruptly stopped the embroidered shoes.

Since it was related to her, it shouldn't be too much for her to eavesdrop on the conversation, and it shouldn't be a violation of the principles of life.

She comforted herself, stooped like a thief, and quietly put her ears on the back door.

In the room, Xiao Lingxiao's voice came faintly:
"Second brother, where is your sister-in-law now?"

Xiao Fengxian was in a strange mood: "I don't know which sister-in-law my brother is talking about? Is it the lonely and helpless sister-in-law in Shanyin County, or the rich and well-clothed sister-in-law in Changping Marquis Mansion?"

Xiao Lingxiao secretly clenched his fists.

It is not a glorious thing to stop a wife and remarry for the sake of prosperity and wealth.

However, after everything was done, he could only bite the bullet: "You are still young, you don't understand the relationship between men and women. I heard from Du Juan that Wei Zi was very close to you. You should know where she went?"

"Hey, the sun is coming out from the west. The husband-in-law actually came to ask my uncle where his eldest sister-in-law is. My brother, as her husband, doesn't even know. How can I know where she is?"

"you--"

Xiao Lingxiao was very dissatisfied with Xiao Fengxian's attitude.

After a long while, he suppressed his anger and said seriously: "Second brother, no matter how close you and Wei Zi get, you are still just outsiders who have no blood relationship. Compared with her, we are your relatives whose blood is thicker than water. I will marry you instead." The daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Changping is not out of love for vanity and clinging to the rich and powerful, but for this family. In the future, I will personally recommend you to the Marquis of Changping to have a meal with your sister-in-law and get in touch with each other. In the future, you will enter the court Tang is an official, she will ask her father to pave the way for you."

Wei Zi listened quietly to these words.

The fine snow was blown down the porch by the cold wind, and fell gently on her eyebrows and eyelashes.

She couldn't help blinking.

The hands clasped in the sleeves were involuntarily itchy and painful, as if the old frostbite had started to flare up again.

She remembered that when she was young, whenever it snowed, she would personally warm up the charcoal stove in the house for Xiao Lingxiao for him, whenever it snowed. The tea in his room was always boiling hot, and the kitchen was always hot. There was a pot of hot chicken soup that she carefully warmed for him.

Xiao Lingxiao is so delicate, from a 12-year-old boy to a 20-year-old young man, not to mention chopping firewood for the family, he never touches the spring water with his fingers, and he hasn't even washed a single piece of clothing.

And when she was young, she stood in the bitingly cold water and washed one heavy winter coat after another for him with her own hands.

She suffered from chilblains on her hands, which would recur every winter. Her hands were red and swollen like radishes, painful and itchy, and she felt extremely uncomfortable almost every moment.

When she was delivering chicken soup and rice noodles to Xiao Lingxiao, the handsome young man put down his book, carefully cupped her hands, and blew them pitifully before his lips.

He said softly: "Xiaozi, when I am admitted to the first prize in the future, I will let you be the wife of the first prize. At that time, we will have everything, and I will arrange many maids to serve you. At that time, you will not have to dry starch and wash clothes in winter." I promise you that in the future, I will buy the best chilblain medicine in the world to completely cure your chilblain, and make your hands white, tender, delicate and soft like other ladies in the boudoir."

The girl is pregnant.

At that time, I didn't know what true love was, but my heart was already beating wildly like a deer, as if I was moved by something.

Now that I think about it, the man's promise is really cheap and hypocritical. He said that his love is as deep as the sea, but he turned around and abandoned her, and chose the noble daughter who could help him in his official career.

Wei Zi lowered his head and gently rubbed his hands.

It's ridiculous, Xiao Lingxiao failed to completely cure her frostbite, and it was Xiao Fengxian who helped her take care of her hands in the end.

Her unreliable little uncle...

In the study, the conversation continued.

Xiao Fengxian fiddled with a golden abacus in boredom: "Brother, I really don't know where my sister-in-law is. I'm not interested in having dinner with the Marquis of Changping either. If you came here today, it's just to say these things, Then please come back."

Xiao Lingxiao and Xiao Dujuan looked at each other.

Xiao Dujuan couldn't help but said: "Come here today, there is one more thing I need to ask for your help."

Xiao Fengxian raised her fox eyes and looked at her playfully.

It's funny that his always domineering younger sister asked him for help.

Xiao Dujuan uncomfortably stroked the broken hair on his forehead: "The Zhenguo government is looking for the prostitute who was lost 12 years ago. The Wei Zi I bought in my hand is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo! But—”

There was shrewd viciousness in her eyes, and her voice was a little low: "But, as the saying goes, fat water doesn't flow to outsiders' fields. With such a prominent background, how can Wei Zi be taken advantage of for nothing?! So, I plan to Impersonate and go to Zhen Guogong's mansion to recognize relatives."

Back door, under the porch.

Wei Zi almost laughed out loud.

Xiao Dujuan replaced her in her previous life, but she still wants to replace her in this life!
