Chapter 188 That's it

"Miss, don't worry, Madam will definitely help you." Xiaoyue looked at Xu Jiayu, who had been restless since returning to the room, and couldn't help but comfort her.

"Well," Xu Jiayu smiled reluctantly. In fact, her father's letting her leave already represented her father's attitude. Now, she can only hope that her mother's objection will be useful, "Xiaoyue, you go out, I will stay alone a little while."

"Yes."

Xiaoyue didn't say anything in the end, she closed the door obediently and went out.

Before lunch, Mrs. Xu came to look for her daughter.

Xu Jiayu knew that it was her mother who opened the door and came in, and she couldn't help but have some hope in her eyes, but when she met her mother's eyes, she suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She knew that her mother, her only hope, had been persuaded.

Mrs. Xu felt a little guilty when she met her daughter's eyes, but she quickly adjusted and sat beside Xu Jiayu. After hesitating for a while, she opened her mouth and said:

"Yu'er, just now, mother discussed with your father, and mother thinks that General Li is a good match.

His first wife left early, and there was only one son under his knee, and something happened. If you marry, you will be the mistress of the house. In time, you will give birth to a son for their Li family, so you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life. "

Seeing that Xu Jiayu did not speak, Mrs. Xu continued to persuade: "Yu'er, mother will not harm you, and you have already been favored by the Li family, who would dare to fight with the Li family?"

"That daughter will never marry." Xu Jiayu retorted in a low voice.

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Xu didn't hold back, and stood up directly, "Okay, even if you really never marry, have you ever thought about your family, your father and me? If your father offended the Li family because of this, Do you think our family will be better off? At that time, not to mention your father's official position, even our life, it is unknown whether we can save it! Do you want to watch your parents die for you?!"

Looking at Mrs. Xu who was excited and stern, Xu Jiayu seemed to know her mother for the first time, her voice trembling, "Mother, don't force me."

"I'm forcing you! Am I forcing you or are you forcing us! Do you really want to watch your parents die for this! You have learned so many years of poetry etiquette, loyalty and filial piety, where have you learned? It's gone!" Because of her daughter's non-cooperation, Mrs. Xu was terribly annoyed.

"Think about it for yourself!" After saying this, Mrs. Xu left directly.

After Mrs. Xu left, Xiaoyue hurried in to see her own lady. She panicked and ran over quickly, "Miss, don't cry. What's the matter? Didn't the lady disagree before? Why? Why are you saying that all of a sudden now?"

"Miss, otherwise, please beg the master and madam again."

"It's useless." Xu Jiayu shook her head, she couldn't stop her tears, "Xiaoyue, I have no choice. I can only listen to my father and mother about this matter."

"Miss..." Xiaoyue felt very sad seeing her young lady so sad, but what could she do as a servant...

"How? Yu'er disagrees?" Father Xu looked at Mrs. Xu who came back, and he could tell his daughter's attitude from the anger that had not completely disappeared on her face.

"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, this matter, Yu'er has to agree if she agrees, and she has to agree if she doesn't agree." Mrs. Xu on the side spoke directly, her words were full of meaning that this matter must be done.

Seeing Xu's father seemed hesitant, Mrs. Xu immediately said, "Master, don't you want a son?"

Don't want to?How could he not want to, but asking him to sacrifice his daughter, is this... this price, a bit too high... But he didn't say these words in the end.

It was not until evening that Father Xu saw his daughter. Her eyes were red and the area around her eyes was still a little swollen. It looked like she had cried.

Before Xu's father had time to say anything, Xu Jiayu heard Xu Jiayu say, "Father, mother, marriage matters, daughters are all decided by father and mother."

"That's right," Mrs. Xu smiled when she heard this, and hurried over to hold her daughter back, "Father and mother won't harm you, as long as you can figure it out."

"Yes, mother, if there is nothing to do, then the child will go back to rest first." Xu Jiayu forced a smile, seeing the obvious joy in her mother's eyes, her heart ached, and she directly looked away and said.

"Okay, then go back and rest." Mrs. Xu knew that she was still feeling a little uncomfortable, so she didn't say anything more, and simply asked people to leave.

"Master, you should go to Li's house tomorrow." Mrs. Xu was very excited, "Discuss the date of the wedding, and... bring back that prescription." The latter is the most important thing.

Xu's father thought of his daughter's appearance just now, but in the end he didn't say anything, just nodded to show that he knew.

The next day, Father Xu went to Li's Mansion, got the prescription as he wished, and handed it to Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu immediately put it away carefully as if she had found a treasure, and only then began to ask about the marriage.

"Master, what did General Li say, what is his attitude towards the marriage of the two families?"

"General Li means that the Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon, and the marriage between the two families should be postponed for a while. After the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the two families will discuss together and choose an auspicious day to marry Yu'er." Xu's father told Li Yun's I want to tell my wife.

Mrs. Xu did not have any objection after hearing this, she nodded her head in agreement, "Indeed, the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet is important, and the marriage is not in a hurry. Thanks for the time, I can also prepare the dowry for Yu'er."

Seeing that Mrs. Xu was not dissatisfied, Father Xu didn't stay any longer, and left after saying that he still had something to do.

Seeing the people leaving, Mrs. Xu quickly took out the prescription just now, and ordered people to take the medicine according to the prescription, "Go quickly, after picking up the medicine, it will be boiled immediately, and I will drink it tonight."

"Yes." The maid holding the prescription hurriedly agreed and went out to buy medicine.

Seeing the back of the maid leaving, Mrs. Xu was filled with joy. Thinking back then, after she gave birth to a daughter, her stomach didn't move anymore. She knew that those noble ladies in the capital had ridiculed her overtly and secretly. How many times, she was said to be useless, not even able to give birth to a son.

Because of this, she also suffered a lot of grievances in this family. If the master hadn't been protecting her, she would have been kicked out of the house by her mother-in-law long ago.

Now, she also has the hope to conceive a son, how can this make her indifferent or unhappy?

Thinking of how she would be pregnant with a child in the future, Mrs. Xu couldn't help laughing. She lowered her head and looked at her belly tenderly, as if a little life had already been born there...
