HCB Chapter 125: Don’t mess with the Xiu family unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Chapter 125: Don’t mess with the Xiu family unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Xiu Lingyi took a day off, and when he came to the Hanlin Academy again, he found that everyone was very polite to him.
In particular, Mr. Wu not only gave him a smile, but also began to guide him seriously, which benefited him a lot.
Xia family.
Xia Huaizhi, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, called his second daughter Xia Yuning over as soon as he got home:
"Tell me, what are the rumors outside?"
This afternoon, as soon as he arrived at the yamen, many of his colleagues came to joke with him, saying all kinds of things.
His enemy gloated to him that if his daughter really couldn't get married, he could help. Even if there were no good ones, he could still find a few ugly ones.
If she really couldn't find one, she would be able to find one her daughter liked among the beggars on the street.
Xia Huaizhi inquired carefully and found out that his daughter was said to be a nymphomaniac and was said to have sex with any man she saw.
He was so angry that he came back early, without even waiting for the court to end.
The servant of the Xia family came back from outside and spread the news he heard. Soon, Xia Yuning also knew about it.
When her father asked her, how could she dare to tell the truth? Could she tell her father that she ran to the street to block Xiu Lingyi, and that she asked her cousin for help in preparing for a chance encounter with Xiu Lingyi?
When Xia Xuan heard that Xia Huaizhi had returned, he came to him to discuss how to quell the rumors on the street.
After hearing Xia Huaizhi's question and seeing that his sister was too embarrassed to speak, he had no choice but to tell her everything he knew.
Xia Huaizhi was furious and slapped Xia Yuning hard on the face, not caring about the wound on her face:
"You've made the Xia family lose all their face, do you really want a man that much?
Tomorrow I will ask the official matchmaker to come and propose marriage to you. Get married within a month, and don’t stay at home and embarrass yourself.”
Xia Yuning didn't care even though Xiu Luoran beat and scolded her so harshly. But she couldn't stand her father's words.
She covered her face and ran out.
Xia Xuan felt a little distressed: "Dad, did you just..."
“Your mother and I spoiled her too much, which is why she became like this.
If I continue to indulge her, will I have to take care of her when she runs away with another man one day?
If such a scandal really happened, your other brothers and sisters would not be able to get married. My reputation has been ruined by her."
Xia Xuan sighed: "Dad, you should let my mother persuade her. She has decided to be with Xiu Lingyi. What do you think we should do?
Xiu Lingyi's sister even came to her door, but Ning'er still didn't change her original intention. "
"What did you say? Who's calling?"
Xia Xuan realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. He was afraid that Xia Huaizhi would be angry, so he deliberately concealed the fact that Xiu Luoran came to his house and beat Xia Yuning.
When asked by Xia Huaizhi, he had to tell him about Xiu Luoran beating Xia Yuning.
Xia Huaizhi was so angry that he was speechless:
"When she was little, I thought she was quite smart, and she was very good at talking and doing things. But I didn't expect that she would become so useless when she met a man.
What a good-for-nothing. Sooner or later she will be ruined by a man.
No need to wait, no need to persuade, find someone for her tomorrow. Such a troublemaker should have been sent away early.
Xiu Jia, do you think it is as simple as it seems?
If you provoke them, you won’t know how you will die one day.”
Xia Xuan was shocked: "Father, is it really as serious as you say?"
Xia Huaizhi nodded: "Xuan'er, remember what your father said. Don't mess with the Xiu family unless it is absolutely necessary."
Xia Huaizhi once heard Kuang Jixian say that the Xiu family would sooner or later become the most prominent family in the entire Tianhe.
He even wanted to find a way to join the Xiu family. This bastard girl actually offended the girl who was held in the palm of the Xiu family's hand. Is she trying to kill him and the entire Xia family?
You should marry her off early and let her harm others.
Yes, that’s a good idea, let’s do it.
……
Soon it was Xiu Lingce's wedding day.
Early in the morning, Xiu Luoran went to Prince An's Mansion. She wanted to help Yi Kezhen put on makeup and match clothes and jewelry.
Because Yi Kezhen said that she had never worn such big jewelry.
In fact, Xiu Luoran had never worn it, but she had seen many women in Dubai wearing it.
My daughter is getting married, and as a mother I have mixed feelings.
She was happy that her daughter had found a home, but she was sad that she had left home and them. She was also worried that her daughter would become someone else's daughter-in-law and suffer again.
Yu looked at Xiu Luoran who was putting makeup on her daughter.
This is my daughter’s sister-in-law. It seems that this girl likes her very much, which is better than anything else.
"Miss Xiu, now that Kezhen has arrived at your home, you two sisters-in-law should get along well and help each other."
Xiu Luoran smiled: "Don't worry, Princess, my eldest brother likes my eldest sister-in-law very much. As long as my eldest sister-in-law treats me well, I will definitely treat her well.
Even if she treats me badly, as long as she treats my elder brother well, I will tolerate her."
Yi Kezhen said bluntly:
"Is it really okay for you to say that to my face?"
"What's wrong with that? This is called talking face to face. If you have something to say, it's on your face. This way there won't be any misunderstandings."
Yu nodded: "Kezhen, Miss Xiu is right, the most feared thing in life is misunderstanding.
Even if you really can't get along, it will be fine if you are humble to each other.
If there is a misunderstanding, it could lead to the death of an innocent person, and relatives could become enemies."
Xiu Luoran agreed: "That's right."
Yi Kezhen really likes Xiu Luoran's generous personality:
"Luoluo, don't worry, I will take good care of you together with your elder brother."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Xiu Luoran finished putting makeup on Yi Kezhen, and Yu screamed:
"Oh my god, is this my daughter? Is she a fairy? She is so beautiful!"
Yi Kezhen felt a little embarrassed by what her mother said:
"Mom, is there anyone who praises his daughter like this? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"
The royal ladies who were helping out all echoed Yu:
"My little princess, you are really beautiful. Look at yourself in the mirror. When Xiu Lingce lifts the veil, he will definitely be fascinated by you."
Yi Kezhen took a look and was also stunned. Was the stunning beauty in the mirror her?
At this time, Xiu Luoran put a big "belly band" on Yi Kezhen, and everyone present screamed:
"Mom, what kind of jewelry is this? Why is it so beautiful?"
"Isn't this too big? But it's really beautiful. This gold inlaid with rubies is really rich and magnificent."
A woman asked the question everyone wanted to know:
"What do you call a piece of jewelry this big? How much gold and rubies does it take?"
Yi Kezhen was a careful person. She actually weighed and counted them. She replied:
"This is a necklace. The total weight of the gold and rubies is about 15 pounds and 6 ounces. A total of 58 rubies of different sizes are used."
"Wow!"
Yi Kezhen's words drew a burst of exclamations.
When Xiu Luoran put the "wristband" and super large gold earrings on Yi Kezhen, everyone was able to face the situation normally.
The "wristband" and earring necklace are a set, also inlaid with rubies.
"Oh, today I really opened my eyes and learned a lot."
"Yeah, if I tell people who haven't seen it, they won't believe it."
"If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have believed it."
At this time, someone shouted:
"The auspicious time has arrived, the newlyweds are getting on the bridal sedan!"
