The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 63 Trying to walk with him (2)
In fact, Zhao Chen's heart was also in suspense. He had never experienced such a tense moment in front of his own father. Although Ah Ju had already been coaxed by him, the person in front of him was his father-in-law. You can only tell the truth, and how Lin Xian will choose, privately thinking that he is [-]% sure, he really knelt here, and he became [-]% by birth.

He was nervous there, Lin Xian got impatient and said with patience: "Why do you kneel to me? Are you the same as Meng Zhongjing?"

Zhao Chen was stunned. Looking at his father-in-law's face, he immediately guessed that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "No, Ah Ju and I are on good terms. It's just that my son-in-law has been hiding something from you, so he came here to apologize today." He said. Then he took out the two marriage certificates, one real and one fake, and handed them to Lin Xian, "Father-in-law, please read it, you will understand after reading it, please only care about your body, don't get angry."

Hearing that he was not sorry for his daughter, Lin Xian's heart sank halfway, he took the things suspiciously, and unfolded them.The first one was the marriage letter, he had read it the day Zhao Chen came to greet the bride, he frowned and glanced at Zhao Chen, opened the second one again, and only saw the first line, his eyes widened.

Seeing that his brows were getting deeper and deeper, Zhou Pei raised his foot and leaned over to watch with him.

The marriage certificate revealed the couple's true origins...

Knowing that his mother-in-law was still waiting inside, Zhao Chen lowered his eyes and explained his life experience as briefly as possible. He didn't mention the grievances of his father and mother. The married father can only show up for one day, and then there is the current situation of the court, "Father-in-law, Qin Siyong is stationed in the northwest, and the Qin family has no one to use in the capital. Now we are returning to the capital, no one is bullying outside, and the Qin family only occupies With a false name, she has no right to control Ah Ju. Please rest assured, Cheng Yuan will definitely protect Ah Ju."

These are the shame of the Zhao family. He doesn't want to say it, but he has to say it to tell others about his family's shame.

For so many years, my father was a laughing stock in the capital, and he couldn't even keep his wife.But his father survived. He assisted Tang Wendi to overthrow the Qin family, and blocked the mouths of those people, which proved that he was not a mediocre person who was slaughtered just because of his appearance.Today, without his father mentioning it, Zhao Chen also knew that his father would continue to fight Qin Siyong until the people who bullied him disappeared completely.

His father was a laughing stock, and he was also a laughing stock. He could only avoid living in the countryside and hide from the Qin family. Now that the Qin family was almost defeated, he dared to return to Beijing openly.

What about the laughing stock?
He doesn't want to hide, he doesn't want to hide, he also wants to be the eldest son who stands upright, but does he have the qualifications and confidence?He didn't hide, he lived in the Hou Mansion all the time, and didn't mention whether he would be killed when he was young, and his mother had to live here alone for so many years. Zhao Chen couldn't imagine that his mother was trapped in this small courtyard alone. But the child can't see the desolation.

If he could do it all over again, he would still hide, save his life, and live in the countryside to take care of his mother.

But he won't hide in vain.

Sense of shame and then courage.He went back to the capital and joked with everyone. Sooner or later, he would shut up those who mocked him. When he became a master, who would remember the past?Even if he remembered, who would dare to mention it in front of him?

Don't fight for a while, fight for a lifetime.

The matter was clarified, Lin Xian didn't beat Zhao Chen or scold him, after having a long talk with him in the study, he only asked Zhao Chen to go back with Ning Shi first, and the family had to discuss it carefully.His mind is a little messed up now, and he doesn't want to say something that he might regret later because of his anger. After all, the eldest daughter has become Zhao's wife, and it's not as simple as cutting off contact.

Zhao Chen did not expect this kind of result.Maybe he should have expected it, but Aju agreed to him yesterday, he was so happy, he only thought that his father-in-law and mother-in-law would ask about Aju's wishes, but he didn't expect that they would keep Aju to live with her natal family.

He looked at Ah Ju with a hint of pleading in his eyes. He couldn't tell if he was begging her not to change her mind no matter what her father-in-law said, or begging her to go home with him.They have been married for more than a month, except for the time when they returned home, the two have been sleeping together. Even if she had menstruation, he would still sleep with her in his arms, warming her belly with his big hands through the coat.

Ah Ju saw Zhao Chen's worry, and wanted to say something, but her father suddenly turned around and asked her to enter the room, with a tone that could not be refused.

Ever since she was a child, her father had never been so strict with her, and Ah Ju didn't dare to disobey her father's wishes. Besides, if something like this happened, she would be separated from her family in six days, and Ah Ju was willing to stay in her heart.As for Zhao Chen, Ah Ju believed that her parents would allow her to go with him, so it was nothing if they were separated for a few days.

After all, he was still afraid that he would think too much, stepped into the front of the house, Ah Ju looked back, Zhao Chen was really looking at her, regardless of the people around him who were staring at her eagerly, he actually looked a bit pitiful.Ah Ju was soft-hearted and helpless, and nodded towards him. Seeing that his father seemed to be looking back, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and went in through the curtain.

Zhao Chen only felt that his heart also went in.

Seeing him so absent-minded, Ning sighed secretly, turned to Liu and said, "Then let's go first, and I'll let Chengyuan come over tomorrow. Aju is a good girl, I really like this daughter-in-law, and I concealed my identity when proposing marriage." Both Chengyuan and Chengyuan are at fault, I just hope that my mother-in-law will forgive him for once because of Chengyuan's obstinate love for Aju."

"Mother, you don't have to speak for me. At the beginning you repeatedly persuaded me to tell the truth. I was worried that Ah Ju would not marry me, so I lied to my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Zhao Chen put away his reluctance, and deeply apologized to Lin Xian and his wife. Yili, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, Cheng Yuan knows his mistake, but Cheng Yuan has identified Ah Ju, and will come to make amends every day until the two elders are willing to let Ah Ju go with me. Cheng Yuan knows that his father-in-law and mother-in-law don't want to see me right now, so I Send my mother back first, and come to plead guilty tomorrow."

After saying that, she turned around and supported Ning Shi to go out. Ning Shi gave Liu Shi a guilty look and followed him away.

Liu's heart was complicated, so she went out with her husband Zhou Pei and his wife to see them off.

The carriage went away, Lin Xian went to the study by himself after visiting his wife and relatives.

He was useless for lunch, Zhou Pei went to look for him before leaving, the two talked for a while, Lin Xian went out to see someone off, and after seeing him off, he went to the study to be dazed.After the family had dinner in the evening, Lin Xian kept Ah Ju by his side, and Lin Zhu and his brother also wanted to stay, but he sent him away.

When Mrs. Liu came back after tidying up the kitchen, she saw the father and daughter sitting on the kang, one turned his head to look out the window, and the other bowed his head sewing socks.Mrs. Liu sighed, closed the door and went to the kang, and took the needle and thread from the eldest daughter, "It's getting dark, and it's not like your father doesn't have enough socks, so don't rush to sew them for him."

Ah Ju couldn't help looking at his father, just as Lin Xian also looked over, the father and daughter looked at each other, and quickly avoided.

In fact, when it comes to the relationship between father and daughter, in Lin Xian's mind, the two daughters are of course equal, but the daughters have different personalities, and the daily relationship between father and daughter is also different.Like Lin Zhu, who is the most coquettish, and often throws herself on Lin Xian. When Lin Xian is happy, he will touch her head with a smile, and when he is angry, he can stare at her and scold her.But Aju is different, except that she would act like a baby with her father when she was a child, she became more stable when she was seven or eight years old, she would sew socks and wash clothes for him, and she would serve him meals and tea after he came home from a busy day. She wouldn't hug him and beg her father to buy her nice clothes and jewelry, and she wouldn't go to him to sue her because she had a fight with her younger brother.She is so sensible, there is no need for him as a father to worry about anything, most of the time Lin Xian would order the eldest daughter to do things, praise the eldest daughter for her understanding, buy things for the eldest daughter and give them directly to her, the eldest daughter smiled softly, and did not make any more intimate gestures.

Sometimes seeing the eldest daughter being intimate with her mother, Lin Xian felt a little bit sour in his heart, but since the eldest daughter hadn't clinged to her father since she was a child, he couldn't help it.

Looking at her daughter's half-sewn socks, Lin Xian tentatively opened her mouth, "Ah Ju, tell Dad the truth, how does Cheng Yuan treat you? Do you want to go to the capital with him?"

Ah Ju's eyes fell on the slightly rough hand held by her mother, and she replied softly: "He is very good to me, and I, I want to go with him too. Father, mother, don't worry, I will take care of you when we arrive in the capital." I'll try to take care of myself."

Liu didn't know what to say and looked at her husband.She doesn't understand those things in the capital. She only cares about her daughter's wishes and listens to her husband's decision. If father and daughter disagree, she will find a way to mediate.

Lin Xian's heart was complicated.

The deal was done, and it was meaningless to pursue Zhao Chen's deceit, not to mention that Zhao Chen lied to them because he was worried that they would refuse marriage because of his family status.If it were the dude who pretended to be noble and looked down on others, he didn't have to hide it at all, he had revealed his identity long ago so that vulgar villagers like them would bother to curry favor with him. Zhao Chen's concealment of his identity just showed that he knew how to judge people.Besides Zhao Chen's love for his daughter, Lin Xian believed him just because he was willing to work in the fields. At least for now, Zhao Chen was sincere to his daughter.

But getting married is not a matter of two people, but a matter of two families. When it is Zhao's turn, even if his parents agree, there are still many troubles that are enough for his daughter to worry about.

"Ah Ju, have you ever thought that when a family like ours enters the Marquis' Mansion, those relatives of the Zhao family and the ladies of the official family who usually walk around might look down on you?" Although he didn't want to make his daughter sad, Lin Xian still pointed out .

Family opinion has existed since ancient times. When he went to study in the town, the children of rich families in the town looked down on him. When he went to the city to take the exam for a scholar, he was dressed in coarse clothes.He is a man, and he has been looked down upon many times before he gradually takes it lightly. The girl is so thin-skinned, what should I do if I am laughed at?This kind of natural difference cannot be made up by a man's favor. Once a daughter feels inferior, she will only become more and more unable to hold her head up in the future. like?
"Also, with Chengyuan's status, what if he takes a fancy to someone else in a few years and takes a concubine?" Seeing her daughter bowed her head and said nothing, Lin Xian simply said clearly, "Don't listen to his repeated promises now, Most of the men's words are unreliable. People in the village have no money to raise young children, and there is no such atmosphere in the village, but the Zhao family is different. After returning to the capital, Cheng Yuan's sons and brothers who usually come into contact with have concubines. Who can guarantee that he will not tempted?"

This is too serious, even though Liu Shi agrees in her heart, she still can't help but retort: ​​"Don't beat me to death, my brother-in-law's family is not bad, why don't you just stay with her aunt? Cheng Yuan treats Ah Ju well, It may not be impossible. Ah Ju, don't listen to your father, don't doubt Cheng Yuan first, it's just that your father is right, what should you do if you go to the capital and are looked down upon by others?"

The lights in the room were dim, and every word of the parents was concerned. Ah Ju shook her mother's hand, raised her head and said to the two elders: "Father, mother, I have thought about all this. I am born here, and I can't help it if others look down on me." , but I am doing well, there is nothing to be ashamed of, and I will not take it to heart when others ridicule me. As for him, I have already married him, and now I am separated because I suspect that he will have someone in the future. Willing. Now that he treats me well, I want to try with him. It is best to live a lifetime. If he is the kind of person who likes the new and dislikes the old, he will definitely change his mind soon after returning to the capital. When I come back, I will not be with Li It’s just divorce, it doesn’t make any difference whether it’s a year earlier or a year later. At that time, whether my parents let me remarry or raise me for the rest of my life, I will listen to you.”

After she finished speaking calmly, the girl who was only 15 years old had a clarity that didn't match her age.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help shedding tears, hugged her daughter and cried, "It's all my mother's fault. I can't recognize people clearly once or twice, and you have not lived a peaceful life." What the eldest daughter wants most, no one compares her more clearly.

Ah Ju has cried by herself, but she didn't want to make her mother cry, so she quickly comforted her: "Mother, don't say that, he is very good to me, I, I also have him in my heart, and I am willing to go with him, don't say it so that I seem to be lost Like a fire pit, maybe he will treat me well for the rest of his life?"

As for her daughter's life, Liu immediately suppressed her tears, "Yes, our family's life is good, and the future will definitely be smooth, and I will be the enviable Mrs. Hou in the future! At that time, my mother will follow suit! "Since my daughter wants to go, she should say something auspicious.

Ah Ju smiled, hugged her mother and said: "Well, when I become Mrs. Hou, my mother will be Mrs. Hou's mother, and no one will be envious of her!"

The mother and daughter comforted each other with smiles on their faces. Lin Xian was warmed by the smiles of his wife and daughter, and also smiled: "Okay, since you believe in Chengyuan, father will believe in him once too. Ah Ju, Chengyuan He suggested that I take part in next year's autumn, and he introduced me to Mr. Dad didn't want to take the exam before, but now because of you, he has to pass whatever he says, even if it's just a small official, you still have some face when you say it. If you're lucky, dad landed in the capital , our family can be together again."

He was thirty and three, not old.

For the sake of his wife and children, so what?
