Chapter 176 Wife?concubine?
"What else? Can you still drive me off the boat?"

Mrs. Hu cleared her throat and said unhurriedly, "Miss Shi can try it."

Hu's attainments in inner battles are not comparable to Shi Xiu's.There is a saying that women should make things difficult for women.But in this era, the status of women and men is very different, can women still embarrass men?Of course, he closed the door by himself, and the fight was exhilarating.

Of course, the Hu family can't drive Shi Xiu off the boat, but Shi Xiu doesn't know.

After a long while of silence outside the door, Shi Xiu suddenly raised her voice and said: "I know you are in the room, and you can't come out if you shrink your head and ask others to block it for you. If you don't have this status, do you think Brother Qin will marry you?"

Outside, Hu's voice sank: "Come here, send Miss Shi back to the cabin! What does it look like to be noisy here?"

The boat was moored on the shore, and other boats were not far away, so it was a semi-open public place. When Shi Xiu yelled, people gathered around, pointing and poking around, which was really embarrassing.

In fact, it is not suitable for Hu and Shi Xiu to be rivals. The people Hu has met in the past, as long as they are women with some status and education, they will take face more seriously than anything else.However, the education Shi Xiu received was completely different in the environment where she grew up. In some respects, she and Yao Jinfeng were very similar.

Xiaodong told Hongfu: "Let her in."

Hong Fu hesitated: "But she..."

"Let her in."

Some people will not die when they see the Yellow River, they close their eyes and hypnotize themselves that there is no water in the river.

There is still such a long way to go in the future, Xiaodong doesn't want to fight this lawsuit with her every day.

Hongfu went over and opened the door: "Mother Hu, the princess said to let Miss Shi go in."

Hu was slightly taken aback, Shi Xiu already showed a smug smile, shook off the two women who were holding her arms, took a big stride, and squeezed past her.

Xiaodong took a look at her.Shi Xiubi looked better when he first arrived in the capital. He wore a pink blouse with lotus petals collar, a pleated skirt with pink butterflies stained with green flowers, and a ruffle belt with moon-white water ripples around his waist. It looks like it was bought from a ready-made clothing store outside, but the person is young, and wearing such a color and style seems to have a vigorous vitality.It seems that after traveling long distances without having to eat and sleep in the open, she has been recuperating well these days.It must be eating and drinking, and the pain in her heart did not affect her normal life.

Xiaodong let go of most of her worries.She didn't want Shi Xiucha not to think about food and not to think about food. What's wrong with worrying about becoming sick? After all, she is also the daughter of Master Qin Lie. Qin Lie also said, take her back safely and hand her over to her family. It's all over when you take this responsibility.If something happened to Shi Xiuzhen on the road at this moment - even if she asked for it, it would be extremely bad. How would Qin Lie face his master and his family?

"Miss Shi, please sit down." Xiaodong ordered tea to be served to her.But Shi Xiu said: "Excuse me, I'm not here to drink tea, so don't use your roundabout methods on me."

Xiaodong smiled: "You just want to marry Qin Lie, right?"

Shi Xiu didn't expect Xiaodong to be more straightforward than her, so he was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Of course. Brother Qin and I have known each other for many years, he..."

"Miss Shi, you are infatuated with my husband-in-law, and I am also very moved. Unfortunately, we have not been married for half a year, and I have no intention of giving him a concubine. If Miss Shi is patient, you can wait a few more years until I figure it out. , just persuade him to let you in, what do you think?"

Shi Xiu's complexion changed drastically, and she suddenly stood up: "You, what are you talking about? Make me a concubine?"

"Don't you still want to be a wife?"

Shi Xiu stared at her, bit her lip and said nothing.

of course.

"No matter how much you like him, he has been married. You also know that we women in the Central Plains are particular about one woman not serving two husbands. If there is no husband, you will either be a widow for the rest of your life, or simply send him a death sentence." After the funeral, hang him with a piece of white silk and let him go. You know that I married him. Without him, I will have no way out in this life. You still want to be his wife, but you forced me to become a monk. Nun, do you still want to force me to die?"

Shi Xiu was taken aback by Xiaodong's tone, she shook her hand and said, "You said...I'm not..."

"You may not think it's so serious. Competing for a lover in your hometown is probably a common thing, but here it is a matter of life and death. It is not only about me, but also about my family. My father is a prince, He will not allow this kind of thing to happen. If I have a chance, do you think my imperial grandmother, my imperial uncle, and my father will let Qin Lie go? Not only do you want to kill the two of us , yourself, and your family...Miss Shi Xiu, have you thought about all of this? Did you come to the capital just to drag so many people to die together?"

Shi Xiu vaguely felt that something was wrong, but there was nothing wrong with what Xiaodong said.

Yes, she wanted to marry Qin Lie, she didn't want to be a concubine, she wanted to be a wife.

But then, what about Xiaodong?Women in the Central Plains cannot marry a second man.

Also, her surname is Zhao, and she is a relative of the emperor's family. If she has something wrong, can her family let Qin Lie go?No, in the town where her family lives, and in several nearby villages, if the daughter of the family is bullied, they will definitely not be able to forgive the heart-wrenching——

Hongfu didn't expect Xiaodong to say such a thing, and it really stunned Miss Shi.

"You go back first, and think about what I said carefully. Miss Shi, if it were you, if someone else wanted to rob your home and your man, wouldn't you have to fight that person desperately?"

Shi Xiu asked herself: "That's what you have to fight..."

After she sent her away, Hong Fu was greatly surprised: "Princess, Miss Shi, why..."

Gullible?Silly?Easy to shake?
Xiaodong said, "Because she's not bad."

It's different from those concubines who Xiaodong knew who lived and died in the palace, and it's not the same as those women in the palace of princes and marquises.They have clear goals and decisive means, and must eradicate dissidents to achieve themselves.They will not soften their hearts, they will not hesitate, and the kind of war that sees no smoke is even endless.

It was precisely because he knew she was not that kind of person that Xiaodong didn't reveal the most critical shortcoming.

She is hot with a shaved head, Qin Lie didn't mean that at all.Xiaodong can even believe that Qin Lie never even told her that he likes her, and he never even hinted at that aspect.

She never had real love at all.

All she has is her own fantasy and persistence.

Therefore, Xiaodong hopes that she can retreat from the other side first.

Of course, if she doesn't look back and walks forward...

That can only make her hit the south wall, and it hurts, hurts, and hurts to cry.

There is no sympathy or appeasement for those who want to invade their territory.

Shi Xiu, on the other hand, only thinks about the love she has always dreamed of since she was a child.She never thought of anything else.

Not to mention Xiaodong's side, Shi Xiu walked out of the cabin door and walked back.

Of course she never thought of letting Xiaodong die, let alone Qin Lie——

But she...

Something seems to be wrong.

But what Xiaodong said was indeed reasonable.Qin Lie and her are already husband and wife, so he...

I can't be a concubine like those unworthy women!If you don't talk about her, her parents will not agree, even if she is not allowed to marry for the rest of her life, she will not be allowed to be that kind of person.

but……

Shi Xiu leaned against the door, feeling as if her heart was burning with oil.

She had always thought since she was a child that she and Qin Lie would get married in the future and spend a lifetime together.Didn't the daughter of a silversmith named Hu in the town marry her father's apprentice?Aren't many people in Suizhou like this?Learned the master's craft, married the master's daughter, provided for the master's retirement, inherited the family business, and lived a good life——

But why is it different when it comes to her and Qin Lie?
Qin Lie was so capable that he even married the prince's daughter when he went to study in the capital.

People in Suizhou imagine the capital city, the emperor, the emperor's daughter...these are all too far away, as tall and far away as the gods in the sky.

But suddenly overnight, those are no longer far away.

Qin Lie married the prince's daughter, the emperor's niece.So white, so beautiful... I have never seen what she wears, what she wears on her head, what she eats and drinks.Qin Lie married her and lived in that noble family's house with such a big garden.It seems that he has become an official, General.

General...

Shi Xiu pressed her chest tightly, clenched her hands so tightly that her nails broke her palms.

Qin Lie was already far away from her.He's already had another life, and he won't... and can't be with her anymore.

The people guarding Shi Xiu's cabin door heard crying suddenly coming from the room.

The cry was very sad and desolate.

How is Xiaodong?
No, not very good either.

The oily chicken and bad fish that Qin Lie bought were indeed delicious.Xiaodong also ate a lot - not because she was in the mood to appreciate the delicacy of this delicacy, but because she felt very tired and hungry.

Fighting consumes a lot of physical energy, whether it is physical energy, or the confrontation of language and mind.

The food sent to Shi Xiu was brought back intact.

Xiaodong said, "Got it."

Qin Lie had already heard that Shi Xiu had come to make trouble, and when they closed the hatch and the two of them had a nap, he asked Xiaodong, "Is she coming to make trouble for you again? Well, bear with it these few days, and I'll stop when I get there." Hand her over to her parents."

Xiaodong nodded.

She only felt an indescribable depression simmering in her chest, like the heavy and oppressive solemnity before it rained, like the anxiety of being pressed by a thick quilt and baked by an overheated kang.

"Don't be angry..." Qin Lie said in a low voice, "It's all because of me that you have been wronged..."

Xiaodong suddenly pushed him, Qin Lie leaned back, his head fell on the pillow.

Xiaodong lowered his head, opened his mouth and bit his nose heavily.

It was a pleasure to meet a long-lost friend today.

Boo everyone~~
