Chapter 386
When the master and servant came to Songshouyuan, they saw a circle of people sitting in the hall.

Su Jiu didn't dare to disturb the guests, and slipped in quietly through the back door.

After coming to the screen, Xiao Jingshu sat with a pale face, the handkerchief in her hand had already been torn out of shape.

Eldest sister Xiao Peilan also came back, and was comforting Xiao Jingshu with her arms around her.

Su Jiu hurried forward, "Big sister, what happened?"

Xiao Peilan sighed softly, "The son who was engaged to Jing Shu died suddenly."

Su Jiu was surprised.

She cautiously looked out of the screen, and it turned out that the family who was engaged to the second sister came.

He can be regarded as a well-educated family. After wiping away tears and talking to the old lady for a long time, he stood up and left apologetically.

The old lady called out Su Jiu and others, and hugged Xiao Jingshu in her arms, "My poor child..."

Before he finished speaking, the old man burst into tears.

Xiao Jingshu is fine.

Her face was still a little pale, she wiped away tears for the old lady, and said in a gentle voice: "People have misfortunes and fortunes, no one can predict this kind of thing. I only met that young master once, so I can't say whether I like it or not. Although sad, but not to the point of distraught, grandma really doesn't have to worry about me."

While talking, the maid came in to report that Mrs. Zhao had come.

The Zhao family has already moved out of Jiangnan.

Mrs. Zhao married in Jiangnan and did not go to Chang'an, but her husband had passed away long ago. Because of her strong personality, she changed the two children to Zhao's surname after her husband's death. Everyone in Jinling City called her Mrs. Zhao.

The old man of the Zhao family is the grand master of the dynasty, and Mrs. Zhao's elder sister is the queen of the dynasty. The Zhao family is a dignitary, so no one dares to look down on Mrs. Zhao.

The exquisite woman stepped into the threshold with a smile, "I have long thought of marrying the Xiao family, but Pei Lan promised to the eldest son of the Xie family, and Jingshu also has a family, and sister Li is determined to marry Fengxian." They were sent to the palace, and Hui Ran and Su Jiu were still young, so they never came to ask for marriage. This morning, I heard that Jingshu Xu had killed the son of the family, so I couldn't wait to come to ask for marriage."

She sat down with a light posture like a girl.

Su Jiu leaned behind the old lady.

She really couldn't get a good impression of Mrs. Zhao.

After Mrs. Zhao took her seat, a handsome nobleman about seventeen or eighteen years old saluted the old lady politely, "Junior Zhao Shen, please greet the old lady!"

Su Jiu squinted his eyes. This young master is Mrs. Zhao's son?

He is good-looking, and Mrs. Zhao is also good-looking, but they don't actually look alike.

After Zhao Shen asked for peace, he cautiously retreated behind Mrs. Zhao.

Not squinting, with a calm demeanor, in Su Jiu's eyes, he is more gentlemanly than Xiao Tingchen.

The old lady motioned for the maid to serve tea, and asked casually: "The girls in our family are all clumsy. I don't know what caught Mrs. Zhao's eye?"

"The Xiao family is well educated. Except for Hui Ran who is a bit stupid, the other girls are clean and smart. In addition, the Xiao family is an aristocratic family, so I naturally want to marry you."

Mrs. Zhao came prepared and responded flawlessly.

Xiao Huiran was also there, and when she heard her say that she was stupid, she immediately turned her face, "What are you talking about?! I—"

Su Jiu grabbed her in time and shook his head at her.

Mrs. Zhao smiled without hesitation, "The girl I want to marry is Jing Shu. I have prepared Shen'er's birthday horoscope, and I am just waiting to combine with Jing Shu's horoscope. What does the old lady think?"
