Chapter 267 Chapter 268
"A girl's family, young, what do you know. Talking nonsense, what does it look like when it gets out?" Xu Xiaozu said angrily.

Of course it was impossible for Xu Xiaozu to explain the relationship between Lin Shi and him for many years in front of Xu Jiatong. At first he felt that Xu Jiatong couldn't care about these things, but later he didn't want to be made fun of by her.

How could Xu Xiaozu not know that he would lose his head in front of the high gate to straighten the concubine's room?He knew this well back then, but the Lin family was powerful, no matter how much people talked about it, it could only be slander if it did not violate the law.

For Xu Xiaozu, as long as he looks good, he cares relatively little about other things.What's more, since Lin can give him a chance to "make a comeback", it doesn't matter if he receives some criticism. Sooner or later, there will be a chance to shut up those who chew their tongues.

However, Xu Xiaozu waited for a long time, no, it was too long, and he did not wait for that day.His patience was gradually running out, but for the sake of face, he still pretended not to be in a hurry.No one knew that he was already anxious, and he began to wonder if what he did back then was wrong.

But once he admits that he was wrong, he will lose face. He doesn't want to lose face in front of outsiders, let alone lose face and dignity as a father in front of his daughter who he despised the most in the past.

Xu Jiatong only thought it was ridiculous, and she didn't intend to cover it up: "The house is all hers, and she doesn't need to deliberately put some eyeliner around you. It's you, the dignified head of the family, who have fallen into such a situation. That's right , you want to rely on the Lin family, but don't you feel that you have received less and less from the Lin family these years? If you are not self-reliant, they will not think highly of you, and naturally they will not cooperate with you sincerely. What's more, there are many things that may be sweet at the beginning, but then the taste changes."

Xu Xiaozu stood there with a sullen face and said nothing, Xu Jiatong said again: "If Er Niang really trusts you, it won't be so many years, and she didn't follow your order to adopt the second brother under her own name."

"You mean, let me put someone in Ninghui Hall while it's at the moment?" Xu Xiaozu murmured, his heart was moved.

"You are the Marquis of Ding'an, the real head of the family here. There is no such thing as an arrangement. If you are willing to turn a blind eye, that is your willingness. For the rest of the time, there is nothing you cannot know, only Do you think about it, without you I can't." Xu Jiatong took advantage of the situation to help him make up his mind, "I talked too much today, father rested earlier, and daughter resigned."

Xu Jiatong blessed her body and went back to the painting garden.After this trip, I didn't go back to the painting garden for several days. I heard that Xu Jialan could talk after waking up. I don't know if she took her anger out on Xu Jiaqing.

"Dong Xue, is Miss Wu in the house?" Xu Jiatong met Dong Xue at the door and asked with a smile.

Dongxue looked at her, with tears streaming down her cheeks: "Miss Si, you are back, Miss Wu is inside, you can talk to her. This servant must be tired knowing that you came back after a long time, but Miss Wu Girl, she...you should hurry in and have a look."

Something must have happened, Xu Jiatong faintly felt a little bad: "Dongxue, don't worry, what happened, please explain clearly first."

"Miss Si, you'd better ask Miss Wu, I can't tell you." Dongxue ran away with her head down.

Xu Jiatong still thought that Xu Jialan had sent someone over to provoke him after he woke up, and Xu Jiaqing was weak and bullied, maybe even injured.

Bi Shui had just come back earlier, and he didn't know if he had visited Xu Jialan, Xu Jiatong tried his best to spread his pace and went to the wing.

"Jiaqing, I'm back. I met Dongxue just now, and she seems... How are you doing these days?" Xu Jiatong said cautiously.

Xu Jiaqing was doing needlework, when she heard the voice, she immediately raised her head and looked over, her eyes and brows filled with joy, "Fourth sister? You said you would be back in three or four days, so much late, but something happened on the way?"

Xu Jiatong was taken aback, and looked at her carefully, she was in good health, and her smile was natural, it didn't look like she was pretending at all.But Dong Xue is not a person who can play tricks on her master, so she probably wouldn't intentionally make her worry.

"Something happened on the way, but it has been resolved." Xu Jiatong smiled, and told her a general idea, "That's it, they want to come here recently to calm down. How are you these days? It was just winter Xue seems to be in a hurry, I thought Third Sister woke up and sent someone to deal with you, you are at a disadvantage."

"No, she still doesn't care about me." Xu Jiaqing smiled, which was somewhat unnatural.

"Is that because the sixth younger sister is here to trouble you? After Aunt Zhen has her feet grounded to practice, she should make a fuss." Xu Jiatong guessed.

"Sixth Sister came here once, and she just talked about the situation of Third Sister, and then left." Xu Jiaqing shook her head, smiling a little dryly, "I'm really fine, I'm fine, but there's just one thing, I don't know how to tell you. Let's talk in a few days, forget it, let's talk..."

"Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss." Ah Xiang ran into the painting garden while yelling, Bi Shui said a few words to her, and she also came to the wing room, "Fourth Miss, Fifth Miss, when the maidservant just came in, she saw the ancestor The carriage in the house, the people who get off from above seem to be the third master and the third wife, and the one riding the horse behind is the eldest son."

"What?" Xu Jiatong was shocked when he heard the three of them came together before he heard Xu Jialan's words, "Third uncle and third aunt are here to discuss about the elder cousin?"

Xu Lianping has only been in the Western Capital for a few days, Xu Xiaoxian and Zheng want him to have a bright future, and it is human nature to want to make arrangements early, but this is too fast and too impatient.

"No, Fourth Sister, listen to me, and don't worry about it. When I meet them in a while, don't talk too much. Let me tell you. I was too bad at talking in the past 15 years. This time, I want to say it myself." Xu Jiaqing smiled, trying to make herself look peaceful.

"The more you behave like this, the more impatient I become. Can you give me some peace of mind?" Xu Jiatong said anxiously. Xu Jiaqing's current state made her even more uneasy.

Xu Jialan looked helpless. She thought about how to say these words many times in the past few days: "They are here to discuss my marriage, and I am about to get engaged."

"Engagement? It's only been a few days, and you're looking forward to it? You can't be in such a hurry. If it's not suitable, or if someone fudges you, it will be a lifetime of delay." Xu Jiatong dissuaded.

"It's okay, marry anyone. If I were Xu Jiaqing before, I wouldn't dare, but I am different from before. Fourth sister, you believe me, I will live a good life. One day, wait I am strong enough, and I will do your best to help you." Xu Jiaqing was seriously misty, and her voice was a little choked.
