Chapter 360 No Mercy
Xu Huaiyi spoke without leaving any room, which made Xu Honglian sit uneasily. She wanted to show weakness, cry and complain, and wanted to say that marrying into the Qiao family as a concubine was not what she wanted, but in front of the servants of the Qiao family, she could not use these tricks.

The servant will definitely tell Master Qiao everything when she goes back. Will she be able to get something good by then?
You know, in order to please Master Qiao, she always showed an expression of admiration for him. Who tells men to do that?

As a last resort, she turned to Gu Huanxi and shed tears without saying a word.

Gu Huanxi just smiled lightly, not cooperating or continuing at all. Just watch her perform alone.

Xu Honglian, "..."

As expected, these two people are not good people. Fortunately, she thought they were honest before, but it turns out they were all just pretending.

No wonder none of the brothers and sisters-in-law on my mother's side didn't scold them. It was really annoying.

She took a deep breath and forced out a sad smile, "Sister-in-law, we are all women. You should understand me. We obey our father at home and our husband when we get married. How can we women have any room to speak? We are just those floating people who follow the crowd. Ping, you can’t help yourself at all..."

Gu Huanxi said seriously, "I can't understand you because we are different. I can make my own decisions. At home, your third brother listens to what I say."

Xu Huaiyi nodded cooperatively.

Xu Honglian couldn't believe it and blurted out, "How is it possible? In which family is it not the man who has the final say? A woman relies on her husband to survive, and her husband is God. A woman must obey her husband, how can she make her husband listen to her?"

Xu Huaiyi took the words with a sneer, "Why not? You are a dodder yourself. You can only rely on others to survive. How about your third sister-in-law? Your third sister-in-law can live a good life without relying on anyone. What's more, You don’t need to listen to me. On the contrary, your third sister-in-law is a hundred times smarter than me. I am the only one who obeys her words.”

Xu Honglian opened her eyes wide and couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart. She was suspicious and jealous, unwilling and sad. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere in the room became dull.

Xu Huaiyi was not happy to stay with her in a daze, and started to ask people, "Is there anything else? Your sister-in-law and I have been tired for a day and want to rest early."

Xu Honglian opened her mouth and swallowed the words again.

What bothered Xu Huaiyi the most was that he had to say something unhappily and hesitated or made guesses. He was about to leave with a frown when the maid standing behind Xu Honglian suddenly said, "Master..."

As soon as she spoke, she was interrupted by Xu Huaiyi with an expressionless face, "It's true that Xu Honglian is my sister, but she was brought into Qiao's house to be a concubine. The concubine's natal family is not a serious in-law. If you call me an in-law, if you let me Mistress Qiao will be unhappy when she hears this, and if I agree, I will not understand the rules. "

The maid was so crowded that she quickly knelt down to plead guilty. She didn't dare to say anything else and could only wink at Xu Honglian secretly.

Xu Honglian felt as if she had eaten Coptis chinensis. If her third brother couldn't get enough oil and salt, what could she do?
He was eager to find embarrassment when he opened his mouth, but he was unwilling to leave. He was in a dilemma, so he had to force himself on Gu Huanxi, "Third sister-in-law, when I have some free time in the future, can I come and talk to you?"

Chatting is the beginning of getting closer.

Gu Huanxi understood what she was asking for, but he couldn't agree to it. He hardened his heart and said, "Since you married into the Qiao family, you should serve Master Qiao and Mrs. Qiao well. Don't go back to your parents' house often if you have nothing to do, so as not to make people question the Xu family." If you don’t understand the rules, you won’t be able to educate your children.”

These days, there are many restrictions on women returning to their parents' homes. Except for the second day of the new year, when they can go back openly, they must obtain their husband's permission. As for concubines, they have no status. If the mistress does not give permission, she may not be able to leave the yard for the rest of her life.

Therefore, when Xu Honglian said that she took the time to talk to her, it was clearly because the drunkard did not care about drinking or drinking.

Xu Honglian couldn't help but swayed when she heard the words, and she was on the verge of falling. Gu Huanxi's words were like a slap on her face. He was also expressing his stance to the servants of the Qiao family that he did not want to have anything to do with her.

So what is she here for today?
Isn't it just to repair the relationship with Xu Huaiyi and resume walking? She still can't understand where the Qiao family attaches great importance to Xu Huaiyi. Isn't it just building a tofu shop and other things?

Now, he was about to be screwed by her. She had obviously lowered her attitude and repeatedly showed weakness to please her, so why couldn't he help her? The Xu family felt sorry for the couple, but she had never bullied them.

"Third sister-in-law, how can you be so cruel? Is there anything I can do to you that I'm sorry for? You tell me, and my sister will apologize to you. I just ask my sister-in-law not to treat me like this. If a woman loses her natal family, what dignity does she have in her husband's family? You are trying to force me to death, wuwu..."

This trick might work for men, but Gu Huanxi was completely indifferent, "Have you forgotten? Your natal family is the Xu family, and this is the Gu family. Your third brother is a step-in-law, and he has nothing to do with your Xu family."

"But he is still my third brother. He broke the bones and connected the tendons. How could he be broken?"

"If you married into the Qiao family in an upright manner, then it would be normal for us to interact with each other. But you are a concubine. What is your duty as a concubine? You can ignore the rules of the Qiao family, go out and interact with your mother's family at will, But we don’t want people to point fingers behind our backs and ridicule those who don’t understand the rules, so we’d better keep a distance, for your sake and ours.”

Xu Honglian sobbed, "In the final analysis, you just dislike me for being a concubine. Are you insulted by having such a sister? But what can I do? I don't understand anything except this face..."

Xu Huaiyi wanted to say, "I really dislike others, so can you stay away from our family in the future?", but his wife pulled down his sleeves, then he swallowed it back and reorganized his words, "I am not qualified to dislike others, but I am qualified. Refuse, Honglian, I am no longer related to the Xu family, and I have nothing to do with you. "

So be smart and don’t humiliate yourself again.

"Third brother..." Xu Honglian stood up in panic, looked at him and begged as if grasping a life-saving straw, "Third brother, I am your biological sister, how can you be so cruel? I don't ask you for anything, I don’t want money or things, I just want a brother who can move around frequently. Isn’t this okay?”

Will Xu Huaiyi believe this?
As long as he nods softly, the walking will become a regular one, and it will become a kinship relationship that can support each other. At that time, whether he wants it or not, he will be a member of the Fourth Prince's camp by default.

If they really have a deep love as brother and sister, and he and the old Xu family are not so dirty, he may still compromise, but there is no emotional foundation, why should he pay?
He was completely unmoved and looked at her intently. "Let me ask you one last question. Do you regret it now?"

Xu Honglian's face turned pale, she subconsciously avoided his gaze, and said in an evasive way, "Master is very good to me..."

When Xu Huaiyi heard this, he couldn't help but sneer. He turned to Wei Ci and told Wei Ci, "See you off." Wei Ci responded crisply.

At this point, Xu Honglian no longer had the face to be entangled, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and left crying.

The maids and women who came to support the scene all left together with a cheer, leaving only a pile of gifts.

Xu Huaiyi called Wei Liang to come, picked up the pile of things, and went out. He didn't come back until very late.

When he left, his face was gloomy. When he came back, his face cleared up and there was a smile in his eyes.

Seeing this, Gu Huanxi asked, "Is everything settled?"

Xu Huaiyi sat on the hot kang, stretched out his limbs comfortably, and responded cheerfully, "Well, it's settled. I invited my uncle, fourth uncle, and the village chief uncle to go to the Xu family together."

"Oh, are they putting pressure on the old Xu family?"

"Yeah, I can't control it. No matter how clean my lips are, the people of the old Xu family still feel that I have the blood of the Xu family, and that I am a descendant of the Xu family. No matter how sorry they are, I should be forgiven." Be forgiven, otherwise I am unfilial. I am too lazy to talk to them about these meaningless things, so I just let my fourth uncle and uncle use their seniority to suppress them. "

Gu Huanxi nodded, "You are right. They have a natural advantage and their words are more effective than ours."

Xu Huaiyi breathed out slowly, said "Yeah", and then said with a bit of excitement, "They scolded Xu Maoshan and Mrs. Zhao, especially the fourth uncle. When he got excited, he even raised his crutch and said fiercely He slapped Xu Maoshan a few times and scolded him for being an unkind father. He forced his son to marry into his wife, forced his daughter to be a concubine, and sold his daughter-in-law and granddaughter. He was simply worse than a beast and unworthy of the Xu family. Haha, you haven't seen Xu Maoshan's face. Old face, after hearing these words, he became very ugly, but he still stripped him clean in front of everyone in the Xu family. Anyone with a thin skin would probably have to die..."

Gu Huan curiously asked, "What about him?"

Xu Huaiyi said disdainfully, "It's a common trick to pretend to be dizzy. But this time, the fourth uncle didn't do what he wanted. He asked his uncle to go up and pinch the person so hard that it started to bleed. He couldn't bear the pain and was very shameless." Wake up, hahaha, what I saw at that time was really a relief. The old Xu family counted him the worst. Even though Mrs. Zhao was so mean and mean, she was not as ruthless as him. He was really ruthless. Even towards Xu Huaiyu, he was not sincere. My love is just that I think he is good at studying and hope that he will get ahead and change his career. "

Gu Huan smiled with understanding, "Then what happened to Xu Honglian this time, did he also have his instigation behind it?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded, "The Qiao family knows about Xu Honglian's relationship with us, and they must let her test it. If the old Xu family can carry it clearly, they should stop Xu Honglian, but what about them? Not only did they not stop it, they also helped with suggestions. No matter how you entangle us, it’s because Xu Honglian City Mansion doesn’t have enough means and doesn’t have many means, otherwise, it would be really hard for us to escape just now.”

If Xu Honglian's methods were clever enough, her advances and retreats were well-founded, and she was decent and generous, could they still turn her away time and time again?

Gu Huanxi muttered, "Then if she returns without success this time, the Qiao family will definitely not be willing to accept it. They might coax her to come again. The second day of the Lunar New Year is an opportunity."

Xu Huaiyi said, "My fourth uncle told the people of the old Xu family clearly that they can do whatever they want with Xu Honglian, but don't bother me again. The uncle and the village chief also had the same idea. Xu Huaili was not convinced and also Asking why, having such a distinguished relative is a blessing to the old Xu family, why not only do they not fawn over, but they try to push it out..."

"Uncle Xu, have you explained it?"

"Well, separate the children and women. The uncle explained it very thoroughly. He even moved Master Sun out and said that I will follow the Sun family from now on and follow the path of cleanliness and righteousness. I will not form cliques and will not follow others. The power of the dragon, so keep a distance from the princes to avoid misunderstanding."

"Do they believe it?"

"I looked at it, but I didn't hear it in my heart. They are not convinced and are holding back their strength. Just wait and see. For us, the fourth prince is a hot potato and we must avoid it. For the old Xu family For people like me, it is the road to success. They will try their best to seize the opportunity. Whether it is to stand out for themselves or to compare with me, they will move closer to the Fourth Prince. "

Gu Huanxi frowned, "Doesn't that mean we have to drag the Xu family into trouble?"

Xu Huaiyi sighed, "If it were an ordinary thing, it wouldn't affect us, and it wouldn't affect our uncle. After all, the families have been separated for many years. Unless they dare to do something big like killing the Nine Clans, then everyone will be in trouble. But from what I know about them, they don’t have the guts yet.”

Gu Huanxi felt uneasy, "He is a thunder after all."

Xu Huaiyi comforted him, "Don't worry, I will ask people to keep an eye on them. It's okay if they are just greedy for small profits. If they dare to get something they shouldn't, as long as there are signs of that, I will go to the uncle and drive them out of the clan." ”

"That's all we can do for now. Speaking of which, Xu Honglian is the key. I hope her brain can clear up and she won't be taken advantage of by the Qiao family again."

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "It's hard, even if she understands that the Qiao family is just taking advantage, she will still be a pawn."

Because she couldn't bear the wealth and power of the Qiao family, she could only offer her own value to the Qiao family.

Xu Huaiyi only guessed half of it right. Xu Honglian really couldn't bear to part with the wealth and power of the Qiao family, so she knew she shouldn't go back to her natal family for help, shouldn't bewitch her natal family's ambitions, and shouldn't drag Xu Huaiyi into trouble, but she still did it all. As for The other half was because she had no choice.

If she didn't become a chess piece, she would become a dispensable useless person in the Qiao family's backyard. Qiao Huai was greedy for flowers and lust, and had countless concubines in the backyard. Some of them would be forgotten after just three or five days. I can no longer think of such a person. I allowed that person to become a living dead and finally died quietly.

Xu Honglian had seen such a scene with her own eyes and was so frightened that she had nightmares for several nights. She didn't want to end up in that miserable end, so she could only make herself useful and let Qiao Huai see her instead of being disposable. Bed warmer.

And now she finally did it, but it was far from enough. On the way back from Hutian Village, Xu Honglian had been thinking about what to do to restore the decline after meeting Qiao Huai.

She divided it into three steps. First, she wiped away her tears and felt guilty, blaming herself for not getting things done. Then she proposed what she would do in the future to achieve her goal. Practical plans are the most sincere and capable. Finally, she took advantage of a woman's advantages and charm. To coax a man into a happy mood, not only does he not care about her failure to succeed, but he also praises her as a virtuous wife and a gifted wife.

The man's mouth was half smeared with honey and half smeared with poison. Xu Honglian couldn't believe a word he said, but it didn't stop her from showing an expression of admiration and touching after hearing it, as if she was willing to risk her life for him.

Qiao Huai was satisfied.

Xu Honglian breathed a sigh of relief.
