After rebirth, the female supporting role only wanted to have a grand funeral

Chapter 4 No Expectations, No Disappointments

Xue Shu slept very deeply this time, the dream was full of sweet-scented osmanthus, and she didn't wake up until the next morning.

She opened her eyes, and suddenly realized that she was in a strange bedroom, turned over and sat up from the bed, startled Qingyu, who was dozing beside the bed.

"What kind of place is this?" Seeing Qingyu, Xue Shu immediately relaxed her vigilance and lay back lazily.

"This is the son's bedroom," Qingyu yawned, "Yesterday you were drunk, and the son was worried about you going back by yourself, so he settled you here."

Xue Shu nodded. Yesterday she was presumptuous in front of Xue Chen, but Xue Chen not only didn't get angry, but also put her in a good place. After such an experience, she really didn't care about this cold-faced and warm-hearted big brother. I can't get scared anymore.

Xue Shu laughed lightly, in a good mood: "Let's go, let's go back!"

"Yes." Qingyu got up quickly, waited for her to put on her clothes, and briefly tidied her hair.

After returning from listening to Zhuyuan, Xue Shu locked herself in Yuegui Xiaozhu's study room. Two days was enough time for her to recall carefully what happened in her previous life. I felt filled with more than a dozen sheets of paper.

In the end, she read it carefully again, and only wrote down some important events. Finally, she threw the rice paper into the furnace and burned it to ashes without leaving any traces.

Things in the previous life are not static. She agreed to divorce today, and what will happen in the future will become uncontrollable. Therefore, it is useless to remember too many details. In the future, she still has to go step by step.

Speaking of this marriage, the two families hadn't exchanged Geng Tie yet, so it wasn't settled, she had to ask Xue Yue to go to the Hou's mansion quickly to exchange her Geng Tie back.

After making up her mind, Xue Shu called Qingyu in, redressed and went to Tingzhuyuan.

Xue Shu explained the purpose of her visit in a few words. After hearing this, Xue Chen looked at her in relief for a while, and went to Xue Yue's study with her without saying a word.

-

"Retirement?" Xue Yue frowned, "I've thought about it for the past two days, and the Hou Ye came to the door that day, not for the purpose of retiring the engagement, but Sheng Shizi's temporary intention.

Moreover, after so many days, there is no movement from the Hou's mansion, which shows that they are not serious. I don't think there is any need to withdraw from this marriage. "

After listening, Xue Shu secretly sighed in her heart.

Sure enough, Xue Yue was only provoked by her for a moment before he said harsh words that day. After two days passed, he had already calmed down, weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to pretend to be stupid.

Since the Hou Mansion doesn't take the initiative to come to the door, he is also willing to pretend that nothing happened, and everything will be as usual. When the time comes, he will be connected with the Hou Mansion, and he will have a smoother life in the court. As for Xue Shu's life good or not?Nothing to do with him.

Xue Chen also guessed his intention to push the boat along the way, and was not at all surprised by his words: "Father, you were resolute in the hall earlier, and you have already offended Lord Hou. If you really marry Shu'er, you Can you imagine what kind of life she will live?"

"Life, of course, there are thousands of ways to live, why not live?" Xue Yuehun waved his hands indifferently, "The big deal, I will give your sister a lot of dowry, land and shop, and so on. I won't call your sister wronged."

Hearing this, even Xue Chen, who has always been calm, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He knew that his father had always been indifferent to Xue Shu, but he didn't expect to be so indifferent. Even if he knew that Xue Shu's life would be difficult when she married, he didn't take it seriously.

That is a lifelong event for the daughter's family!

Xue Chen's face was extremely ugly, his hands covered under his wide sleeves were clenched into fists, and his joints were bluish white.

Compared to Xue Chen, Xue Shu was much calmer. She already knew what kind of person Xue Yue was. If she didn't hold out hope, she would naturally not be disappointed.

"It's a pity that my father talked too much that day." Xue Shu lowered her eyes, looked at the cup of hot tea in her hand, and said in a flat tone, "Father said that if they don't come to the door, you can go and annul the engagement yourself. It's really bold. But if you didn't go, the Hou Mansion must think that you are nothing to be afraid of, and they can let them decide. In the future, if father has something to entrust to them, will they do their best?"

This sentence really touched Xue Yue's heart.

Although the Zuoxiang Mansion is already the head of civil servants, it still cannot be compared with the Hou Mansion that has been passed down for several generations.

As far as the interpersonal relationship is concerned, if Xue Yue is to deal with it, he will have to go through a lot of hard work, and it is hard to say what the final result will be, but if the Hou Fu comes forward, he can settle the matter with just a sentence or two.

"Now the position of Marquis in the Changsheng Marquis Mansion is unstable, and the power of the Zuoxiang Mansion is urgently needed. Right now, they are asking for father. If you don't take advantage of this time to show them off, let them know that father, you are a man of one's word. Then in the future Even if you become an in-law, as far as the Hou Mansion is concerned, your father is just a stepping stone."

Stepping stones are things that are pulled over and stepped on when they are useful, and thrown aside when they are useless.

Xue Yue has worked so hard to get to the position of the left prime minister and has used many people. No one knows better than him what the fate of the stepping stone will be.

If it is light, it will be demoted and relegated, and if it is serious, it will be copied and executed.

Xue Yue pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Xue Shu and smiled: "You are quite good at talking now."

"Everything my daughter said is true, and I really think about my father," Xue Shu pulled the corner of her mouth, "With the status and power of Zuo Xiangfu, it is not impossible to find a better in-law. Isn't it because the Changshenghou's mansion is now in decline, so it's easy to handle?"

Hearing this, Xue Yue's heart was shocked, and he stared at Xue Shu.

This was his most secret thought, even Aunt Wu who was closest to him didn't know about it, but now Xue Shu said it face to face.

In the past, he really underestimated this prostitute.

Talking to a smart person is enough. If you talk too much, it will easily have the opposite effect. Therefore, Xue Shu only talked here and then shut up.

Suddenly no one spoke in the study.

After a long time, Xue Yue asked someone to fetch Geng Tie back.

The purpose of his marriage with the Hou Mansion is to let the Hou Mansion be used by him, not to be a stepping stone for the Hou Mansion.

"I can follow your wishes and go to the Marquis Mansion to withdraw marriage for you, but what benefits can you give me?" Xue Yue opened the Geng Tie and glanced at it, shaking it in his hand.

"The son of the Hou Mansion was unfaithful first, and my father couldn't bear Shu'er to marry and suffer in the past. It was the act of a loving father," Xue Chen glanced at Xue Shu, and said, "Your Majesty has long intended to deprive Changsheng Marquis of the Marquis. Father is sharing your worries, and His Majesty will value father more in the future."

Xue Yue pondered for a moment, then nodded.

The two brothers and sisters left the study, Xue Chen glanced at his younger sister and said, "I don't know, it turns out that father..."

"It's nothing," Xue Shu interrupted him, "I knew it a long time ago, and I didn't expect him to be good for me."

Xue Chen pursed his lips.

He has some regrets now.

Originally, he was afraid that Xue Lu would blindly spoil Xue Shu and spoil her temperament, so he deliberately treated her indifferently, but he ignored that there was a really indifferent Xue Yue at home.

If I had known earlier, he should have treated his sister better.

Fortunately...it's not too late now.
