Chapter 716 The person I fancy is not that bad

"You, marry Xiao Fengxian today!"

As Xiao Tingchen's words fell to the ground, the surroundings seemed to be silent for an instant.

Li squeezed her handkerchief and screamed uncontrollably, "Xiao Tingchen, no matter how much I ever felt sorry for you in the past, I was your aunt! What's more, Fengxian has never provoked you in these years, so why are you killing her forever? !"

Su Jiu also showed surprise.

Xiao Tingchen wants to take revenge on Li Shi, she can understand, after all, Li Shi has played against him more than once.

But the third sister didn't do anything to her, did he?

She looked at Xiao Fengxian.

The beautiful girl did not intend to plead with Xiao Tingchen.

She looked indifferent, standing there like a snow lotus.

Although those glamorous and penetrating Danfeng eyes were clean, they clearly did not see anyone or anything.

Even if the rest of her life might be ruined, she still stayed out of it, as cold and lonely as a fairyland in the world.

Su Jiu tugged at her wide sleeves, "Third Sister..."

Xiao Fengxian turned to her and smiled nonchalantly.

No one dared to refute Xiao Tingchen's final decision.

The prince's mansion immediately began to prepare red silk, dragon and phoenix wedding candles, and even built a small independent courtyard as a new house.

Mrs. Li was so angry that she grabbed Xiao Fengxian's hand and wanted to leave, "Is there any law in the world?! What is the crown prince? There is an emperor above the crown prince! Let's go to the imperial court and ask if he, Xiao Tingchen, is capable of doing it for you." Marriage!"

She made a big fuss, but Xiao Fengxian just shook off her hand coldly.

The girl said coldly, "Mother, that's it."

Li was stunned, "What did you say?"

"That's it." Xiao Fengxian rubbed the center of her brows wearily, "After so many years of picking and choosing, I'm tired even if you don't get tired. What's more, all the husbands and sons-in-law you planned for me are just to pave the way for my brother's future. Mother , I don’t want to be treated as a commodity by you anymore.”

She turned away.

Li staggered a step.

She gritted her teeth and stared at Xiao Fengxian's back, "Xiao Fengxian, will you follow me?!"

De'er's official career is not going well, she must use her daughter's marriage to pave the way for her son!

After all, her son is the one who can really take care of her in retirement!

Xiao Fengxian stopped with her back turned.

There was a sneer in Li's eyes, and he threatened forcefully, "If you don't come with me, don't go back to Xiao's house from now on! Xiao Fengxian, how much energy and money I have spent on you, is not for you to marry a lowly groom ! As long as you dare to disobey me, I will drive you out of the house!"

Since this daughter was sensible, she not only sent her to a women's school, but also hired many top-notch female masters to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting one-on-one.

All kinds of precious bird's nests, pearl powder and medicinal materials were sent to her room like water, just to pamper her with a white and tender skin that can be broken by blows, so that she will be liked by her husband in the future.

But how did Xiao Fengxian repay her? !
She wants to marry a groom, she wants to marry a lowly groom!
Xiao Fengxian lowered her head halfway.

Her voice was cold, "Chasing."

Li staggered, and supported the maid's hand so as not to fall to the ground.

She trembled and pointed at the unkempt little groom, "Xiao Fengxian, have you been blinded by lard, or by paste?! He is such a lowly thing, he is not worthy to lift your shoes, you want to marry To him?! Leaving the Xiao family, he alone can support you?!"

Because she lost control, her voice was high-pitched and her words were harsh.

The Prince's Mansion was very quiet, hundreds of people silently watched the mother and daughter.

Xiao Fengxian closed her eyes in embarrassment, finally couldn't bear Li Shi any longer, and left resolutely.

Li Shi covered her heart, her throat was itchy, and she almost vomited blood.

"Tsk," Xiao Tingchen raised his brows gloatingly, "The third younger sister is really treated differently by the palace. How about it, can the aunt stay for a glass of wedding wine?"

Li's eyes were scarlet, and he stared at him fiercely, then hurriedly walked out of the mansion.

Su Jiu was worried about Xiao Fengxian, hesitated for a while, and chose to follow.

She followed from afar, all the way to the garden.

The third elder sister was standing in a gazebo by the water, blowing the wind, Danfeng's eyes were red and moist, her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was about to cry.

Su Jiu could understand her pain very well.

Just as my aunt always wanted to sell her for money when I was young, my aunt's method was better than my aunt's. She sold her daughter through marriage...

Su Jiu grabbed the veil and was about to go forward to comfort her, when a large palm with thin calluses suddenly stretched out from behind, covered her mouth and dragged her to the corner.

Surprised and angry, she turned her head to look, and as expected, it was Xiao Tingchen again.

The man narrowed his eyes, "Keep quiet, just watch."

Su Jiu looked at the pavilion angrily, that little groom unexpectedly entered the pavilion at some point!

She was very vigilant, "Is he going to attack third sister?"

"What should I do? The person I like is not that bad." Xiao Tingchen was very interested, staring at the gazebo as if he was watching a big show.

Carved red lacquered gazebo, rippling blue waves, lotus leaf pavilion.

The breeze blows the fragrance of lotus, and the scenery is excellent.

The unkempt little groom was dirty and even smelled faintly of horse manure.

He didn't dare to get close to Xiao Fengxian, as if he was afraid of tarnishing this wonderful woman like a fairyland.

The eyes hidden under the disheveled hair were sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "Your mother is very unhappy for marrying me. Are you also very unhappy? Do you look down on me?"

Xiao Fengxian kept a cold face and didn't speak.

The little groom stared at her back.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman.

Moreover, there was a natural arrogance in this woman, which was fatally attractive to him.

His too narrow and sharp eyes showed arrogance. He clenched his fists and said seriously, "Marry me, and I won't make you suffer. One day, I can give you what your mother and the Xiao family gave you." !"

Xiao Fengxian glanced at him.

But the boy of eighteen or nineteen was ragged, disheveled, and even smelled of horse dung.

She couldn't help laughing, "Depending on you?"

"I can earn five taels of silver every month, and if I do a good job, I can get extra rewards!"

The little groom is full of blood.

"In today's world, the rich and powerful are rampant, and there are not a few people in the officialdom who rely on hereditary ancestral shadows to get high. And you are from a humble background, just a little groom, five taels of silver a month, and you dare to pretend to support me?" Xiao Fengxian raised her eyebrows, "Do you know? When I was at Xiao’s, the bird’s nest and beauty pills I ate every day cost more than five taels of silver? Not to mention other dresses and jewelry, delicacies from mountains and seas, medicinal herbs from pearls…”

Although cruel, what she said was true.

Although the Xiao family is not comparable to the first-class dignitaries in Chang'an City, they still have a century-old heritage.

Although she is only the daughter of the second wife, her daily expenses are almost a hundred taels of silver.

Five taels of silver a month can't buy anything, and it's really not enough to support her.

It seemed that he felt very shameless, and the little groom's face gradually turned red.

He suddenly became ruthless, and said with a stiff neck: "Then I will go to the battlefield to earn military merit! I will use military merit to support you!"
