Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 160 Still Serious
Hearing the voice from inside, Gu Sixiao paused, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

In the room, the old lady Xue was also angry, "Okay, you sisters are very affectionate, I am a grandma who is black-hearted, and I want to push your sister into the fire pit, right?!"

Seeing that the old lady was very angry, Xue Wanhua also felt a little regretful, "Grandma, I didn't mean that - I, I naturally know that you love Hua'er, and it is because you love her that you put forward those conditions. These , I know, when you asked Wanying to marry, didn't you say something in front of Wanying?"

Hearing what Xue Wanhua said, the old lady's anger subsided a bit, "It's a pity that Wanying is a big-hearted person who doesn't look down on people who don't do anything. When I said that, she frowned and said, don't tell me I'm not worthy to marry a champion , to be the number one lady?! Oh, that girl, she said she was arrogant, but what happened in the end? It’s not about recruiting a son-in-law, what is the number one lady!?”

After laughing twice, Xue Wanhua said softly, "Yingying is Yingying, and Hua'er is Hua'er. My granddaughter thinks that Hua'er will definitely understand grandma's intentions. But, grandma, Hua'er can't marry like this."

"You can't marry like this?" Mrs. Xue frowned, "The more you talk about it, the more confused I become. What do you mean you can't marry like this? How can you marry if you don't marry like this? Do you also want her to recruit a son-in-law? What a joke , does our Xue family have mountains of gold and silver or what? Just recruit men like that?!"

"Grandma, that's not what I meant." Xue Wanhua felt anxious after being told, and couldn't help saying: "Hua'er, she already has someone in mind!"

The old lady Xue raised her eyebrows, her face darkened, "The one you like! Another dead girl who is out for life! I said, I haven't seen that girl for a few days, there must be something wrong, but your father is hiding it." Look at me, saying that the shop is busy, she went to Qingshui County..."

She patted the table heavily, and she asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, which one did she fall in love with? These days, did she just hang out with wild men outside? She would do such a shameless thing." Come out!"

"Grandma, don't say that, what kind of wild man, what kind of bastard, how sad it is for Hua'er to hear such words?!"

Xue Wanhua frowned, and wholeheartedly defended Gu Sixiao, "I heard that Mr. Su was seriously ill, and Hua'er was really worried, so he stayed to take care of him - I have ordered this matter, and it will never be spread. Grandma, don't blame Hua'er too much for this matter. My father and I both believe that Hua'er is a proper child and will never do anything that damages his reputation."

"Still believe it?! A big girl who didn't come out of the cabinet went to take care of Mr. Su. Isn't that damaging your reputation? What kind of damage is it? You have to be caught and raped in bed?"

"Grandma..." Xue Wanhua's voice became high-pitched, "Hua'er is not that kind of person, nor is Mr. Su!"

His eyes flickered, and the old lady Xue finally asked, "Which Mr. Su? Wanhua, you made it clear, who is the man who is having an affair with Gu Hua'er?!"

Biting her lip, Xue Wanhua lowered her head, refusing to speak no matter what.

But looking at her expression, Mrs. Xue had already guessed, "It's Su Jingchun? It's really..."

Hehe laughed twice, and the old lady was angry and sighed, "What should I say! What kind of injustice is this! Our Xue family, why did you have a group of unfilial daughters!"

Gu Sixiao was standing at the door and could hear clearly. Just thinking about it in her heart, she knew that the old lady probably knew something, otherwise she wouldn't have said such a thing.

It's indeed a sin, the Xue family sisters and her, why are they going around like this?
Listening to the conversation inside, it was really hard for her to go in again, so she had to back out quietly.

"Little lady?" Xiaodie, who was waiting outside the door, called out, seeing Gu Sixiao cover her lips to signal, she hurriedly stopped her voice, and hurried out behind Gu Sixiao.

But at this sound, the door has already felt something.

As soon as Gu Sixiao left, Xue Wanhua turned around.

"Is there anyone at the door just now?" Xue Wanhua asked with a frown after calling the girl who was standing far away.

The girl didn't dare to hide anything, and told all about Gu Sixiao's departure.

Xue Wanhua's face turned red and then white, but she sighed and turned back into the room.

After returning to the house, she didn't mention that Gu Sixiao had been there, but said that the girl outside spoke a little louder.

The old lady Xue stared at her without saying anything else, but asked after a long silence: "You said that Su Jingchun has something in his heart, is it true that he wants to propose marriage?"

"Yes, this is what Mr. Su said personally, there will be no half lie."

"He said it in front of you?" The old lady Xue's complexion moved slightly, and she looked at Xue Wanhua with a little pity in her eyes.

Xue Wanhua, however, pretended not to see her, and nodded, "According to my granddaughter, Mr. Su has a deep love for my younger sister, and I will never let her down—speaking of which, it was because of Mr. Su that my younger sister was recognized by my father back then." Brought back to Jinan Mansion from Songjiang. It can be seen that they are indeed destined."

"Fate? This fate depends on the depth. Some fates are so shallow that they cannot bear the weight of marriage. This is why there are such words as fate and no fate."

Shaking her head, the old lady Xue waved her hand, indicating that she didn't want to go on, "Go too! Hua'er's marriage was not arranged in a short while, let's see, if the Su family is really like what you said , If you invite someone to come to say goodbye, it doesn’t matter if I make them happy, but if there is no news from now on, then don’t come and talk to me about fate.”

Xue Wanhua nodded, but did not continue. She believed what Su Jingchun said, but after thinking about it later, she felt a little uneasy.

He wanted to talk to Gu Sixiao about it, but he turned back when he got halfway.

She was also worried about what to say to her little sister.

She didn't sleep well all night, tossing and turning made Mu Feng, who was sleeping next to her, also get up.

"Is the lady on your mind?" After lighting the lamp, he bent down and asked in a low voice.

Although Mu Feng is mediocre, he has an excellent temper, and he also sincerely loves and respects Xue Wanhua.

It's just that Xue Wanhua originally wanted to find a decent man to live with, and didn't think too much about other things, but after getting along with him for a long time, she unconsciously opened her heart to him.

At this moment, he unconsciously expressed his worries, "I'm afraid that Mr. Su's family will object. If Mr. Su is under pressure from his family and doesn't come to propose marriage, what will my little sister do?!"

"Is Mr. Su the kind of person who will give up his sweetheart under pressure?"

Mu Feng was silent for a moment before asking this question.

"I haven't met that Mr. Su, and I don't know what kind of person he is, but if he really gives up, I don't think it's the person that my younger sister should entrust to her for life. My younger sister chooses someone else, and there is no need Keep that Mr. Su in your heart..."

"He, he shouldn't be that kind of person..."

If Su Jingchun just gave up like this, the younger sister would certainly be sad, and she would also...

Clutching her chest, Xue Wanhua frowned, feeling her chest was very tight.

How could she see the wrong person? !If the man she had always cared about was so despicable, she really...

It seemed that he had seen something, but Mu Feng didn't ask any further questions, he just smiled and held Xue Wanhua's hand, and said softly: "Lady, go to sleep! No matter what, we have to wait until tomorrow. If you have been worried, you might as well Let me go and meet that Mr. Su, and find out what he has to say."

It was time to find out, but the next day, Xue Wanhua didn't let Mu Feng show up, but she went to the teahouse to find Su Jingchun herself.

But when he arrived at the teahouse, he realized that Su Jingchun was not there.

"I heard that Zheng Shizi is going back to Beijing, and my young master is going to a banquet for a drink."

Unable to let go, Xue Wanhua simply went to the restaurant that the guy said.

The entire third floor of Taibai Residence, located on the shore of Daming Lake, was covered.

Xue Wanhua didn't want to force her way in, so she could only wait on the second floor.

Playing with the teacup, she strained her ears to listen to the commotion upstairs, only to hear the melodious music, hidden by women's laughter.

Frowning, Xue Wanhua was still thinking about the beautiful scenery upstairs.

There was a "bang", and the music upstairs suddenly fell silent, only to hear a man asking loudly: "Mr. Su, does he look down on me, Zheng Xuan? At that dinner party, so many gentry and celebrities ate the same food." Drinking and drinking, I took the same Fushousan, but you, Su Jingchun, ran back and invited a doctor! What? Are you afraid that I will poison you?!"

Even an outsider like Xue Wanhua was stunned to hear such a question, thinking about the situation upstairs, he couldn't help standing up with some worry.

The person who questioned loudly must have a vicious look, those musicians dared not even make a sound, thinking that this tense scene must be extremely horrifying.

She was anxious, and she kept tiptoeing to look at the third floor, but she still couldn't hear clearly.

That was Su Jingchun's voice, gentle and calm, not very loud, she could only vaguely hear something like "drinking poisonous wine by mistake when I was young, and my body was weak", and something like "If you don't believe me, please ask that person The doctor will know when you come and ask."

"Really? I didn't know Mr. Su passed out! Really, everyone felt comfortable that night, Mr. Su was the only one who suffered so much. It's a pity, you are so unlucky to feel so ecstatic." try."

Zheng Xuan laughed, as if he had lost his suspicion.

Hearing the music upstairs again, although Xue Wanhua couldn't see the situation upstairs, she was relieved.

After drinking half a pot of tea on the second floor, the banquet upstairs was only half done.

Xue Wanhua called the clerk, rewarded him with money, and asked him to invite Su Jingchun downstairs to meet her.

Another quarter of an hour later, Su Jingchun came late.

Seeing that Su Jingchun looked thinner, but his expression was still the same as usual, Xue Wanhua really felt at ease.

After meeting each other, she didn't go around in circles, and asked directly: "Can you take what Mr. Su said that day seriously?"

When Su Jingchun saw Xue Wanhua, he immediately guessed what was going on.

For a girl who hasn't left the pavilion and doesn't return for three days and three nights, it's a big deal where she is placed.

"Of course it's true, Mrs. Xue Er, I, Su Jingchun, have a lot to say, let alone such a big event!? In just one or two days, I will definitely invite someone to visit me."

Xue Wanhua was overjoyed, she stood up and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then I'll wait for you."

Just as he was about to leave, someone from the upstairs swayed down, "Ah, Brother Su, so you are hiding here for a private meeting..."
