don't wear no acquaintance

Chapter 136
It was cold and cold in early winter, and the night was dark and windy, and the commander's mansion was silent.

Behind the main courtyard, in the hut where the maids live, Yurun, Yuqian, and Yuxiao are talking around Yuxiu who is packing up;

"Are you stupid or not? You have to marry if you don't want to. When the time comes, you won't suffer for yourself, and it will make others cheaper!"

The breezy Yu Qian tried to persuade Yuxiu for several days but did not see Yuxiu change her mind, so she cursed at the lack of iron, and only hoped that the good sister would change her mind.

However, in the face of such accusations, Yuxiu, who was packing her clothes, was not only not angry, but showed a happy smile.

"Sister Yuxiu, you don't have to marry if you don't want to. With my young lady and uncle here, let's see who can take you by force?"

The youngest Yuxiao also tried to persuade her, but Yuxiu just smiled at her and said nothing.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Your mother..."

Yurun, who was sitting opposite Yuxiu, had no choice but to stop talking at this point;

Even if Mrs. Tian is no longer good, she is still Yuxiu's mother-in-law. She is an outsider and can't say anything!
Although Yurun didn't say what she said, they all understood it in their hearts, and they couldn't help but look sad. Even Yuxiu stopped, looked up at her and said;

"She took money from the Gao family..."

"So what, the money will be spent on your brother, and you won't see a penny!"

Yuxiu opened her mouth with a bitter face, while the impatient Yuqian mercilessly exposed the facts.

Although the words were straightforward, they were also true, and Yuxiu couldn't even refute them.

"I was born to help my brother. She often said this, and it's not unusual now!"

Yuxiu looked calm with a slight smile on her face, but she didn't even want to address her mother, Lao Tzu, which showed that she was really hurt!

"You don't care about her. She only has a son and no daughter in her heart. You have to take yourself seriously!"

After Yu Qian, who was furious in her heart, finished speaking, Yu Xiao who was next to her lightly tugged at her sleeve, signaling to be more careful when speaking, so as not to make Yu Xiu feel even more sad.

Even Yurun, who was the most stable, also took a look at her angry face, and motioned her to stop talking.

Yu Qian had no choice but to turn her head and sit aside angrily, and stopped talking.

"Yu Qian has a quick temper, but there is a reason to say it!"

"Furthermore, you have now gone out with the young lady as a dowry, and the young lady should have the final say on all small matters. If your mother insists on being tough, she has to be scruples. After all, there is a young master blocking it, so I don't think she dares to mess with it." Come!"

Yurun slowly analyzed and enlightened Yuxiu, hoping that she would not get caught in the dark.

"You can't implicate the young lady and uncle, it's not like you don't know her temper!"

Yuxiu's words made the other three think deeply;
Not to mention, with Mrs. Tian's temper, if Yuxiu disagrees with the marriage, she will really make a fuss!
"She just wants to trade me for a daughter-in-law. Ever since I can remember, she's been talking about it all the time. It's fine to do as she pleases, so I won't have to use the grace of childbearing as an excuse!"

"She gave birth to me, and I did what she wanted. It can be regarded as repaying the favor of giving birth, and my ears will be cleaner in the future."

"Perhaps, after paying off this debt, I will never have anything to do with her again in my next life, and I will be able to do whatever I want in my next life!"

A girl who was only 17 years old was forced by her mother to make plans for her next life. It can be seen that she was heartbroken!
"you……"

These heart-rending words directly made Yu Qian and Yu Xiao bow their heads and wipe away their tears, and Yu Runhong stared but didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, whatever you want!"

Yurun, who sat blankly for a while, didn't say anything after all, got up and took out a bundle from her closet, opened it and handed a pair of silver ornaments to Yuxiu;

"Let's be sisters, this is my makeup for you, don't dislike it!"

A pair of rich and noble silver bracelets with twigs and branches. The color is exquisite and the meaning is very good.

Yuxiu was taken aback for a moment, and then she was about to refuse with red eyes, but Yurun didn't give her a chance to speak;

"If you don't accept it, you will dislike it, and we will not have any contact in the future!"

Yurun's words made the self-proclaimed strong Yuxiu couldn't help shedding tears anymore, and took the small cloth bag with trembling hands, held it in her hand and looked at it crying.

"I charge—"

Yuxiu wiped her eyes and said with a smile.

Then, Yuqian and Yuxiao also took out the makeup gift they had prepared for Yuxiu;

The former is a pair of silver earrings and two silver hairpins.

The latter is a pair of wishful silver collars.

Looking at the things in her hands, Yuxiu couldn't help crying anymore.

On the other side of the main house, Bai Shile was also discussing with Zhao Yunshen about preparing a dowry for Yuxiu;

"Two pairs of silver noodles, a pair of bracelets, six bolts of fabric, and 100 taels of silver bills, do you want to add more?"

Bai Shile pulled Zhao Yunshen who was already sitting on the bed with a bunch of questions in front of him, who was speechless.

"This is great, and it may not be a good thing to give too much!"

Zhao Yunshen's usual calmness and restraint in speaking made Bai Shile, who was all about preparing Yuxiu's dowry, suddenly realize;

"That's right! With a mother like that, it's not good to have too many things!"

"Maybe Yuxiu will suffer for these things!"

Saying that, Bai Shile closed the jewelry box resolutely, and did not dare to take out any of the precious jewelry inside, but she still hesitated on her face.

"If you think it's not enough, just do more in the future. It's just that the dowry can't be added, and the Gao family's wife is not easy to talk to. It's up to Yuxiu to protect these things!"

The well-informed Zhao Yunshen knew everything about Gao's family before dinner, and he was not optimistic about Yuxiu's future mother-in-law, so he reminded Bai Shile.

"exactly!"

Bai Shile, who completely gave up the idea of ​​adding things, quickly packed up her things, and then climbed into bed and lay side by side with Zhao Yunshen;

"I won't see Yuxiu tomorrow, so please give her a good gift for me. Give her the dowry with your own hands, and let her come to me if she has any difficulties in the future."

Bai Shile, who was extremely reluctant, stared at the top of the bed, and confessed to Zhao Yunshen in a depressed mood.

"Don't worry, I will handle it properly!"

Zhao Yun, who saw that she was not in the right mood, replied softly, and covered her with the quilt.

"Tomorrow, the court will probably argue endlessly about Binzhou. As long as His Majesty doesn't speak, you don't have to express your opinion."

Lying on his back and thinking about being silent for a while, Zhao Yunshen turned over to face Bai Shile and whispered a reminder.

"So it looks like there won't be a conclusion to this matter for a while?"

"There will be no conclusion in a short time, but His Majesty has made up his mind, and it is inevitable to take back Binzhou."

Zhao Yunshen said very calmly, making Bai Shile vaguely understand what he meant.

"What do you mean... Your Majesty wants to attack Princess Yongchang?"

After being stunned for a moment, Bai Shile also turned over and asked Zhao Yunshen in a low voice with disbelief.

"This matter is not as simple as it appears on the surface. Perhaps, His Majesty will not need to take action in the end!"

The two lay face to face, Zhao Yunshen stared at Bai Shile for a while, then his eyes flickered, and he whispered.

"What does it mean?"

"Don't you know something?"

Bai Shile, whose eyes were shining with curiosity, couldn't help but move his head forward and ask.

This is too much information, and she is a bit unwilling if she doesn't ask clearly!
Looking at the familiar facial features so close at hand, and smelling the blending breath of the two, Zhao Yunshen jumped wildly for no reason, then turned over and lay down again, and tried his best to restore himself to normal;

"You don't have to ask about this matter, it may not be good to know more, rest!"

"All right!"

At any rate, Bai Shile heard the meaning of these words, so she didn't ask any more questions, and then lay down on her back.
