Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 95
It was still the same road, halfway through, Gu Sixiao could already see that this was returning to Cixuan Hall.

"My sister is going to take me to listen to the conversation between my grandmother and my father?"

Hearing her question, Xue Wanying glanced back at her, "What? I'm scared! Afraid to hear what you don't want to hear?"

"I'm not afraid of hearing something I shouldn't hear, but is it really okay to look like this? As a junior, but eavesdropping on the conversation of the elders, and spreading the word, people will laugh at you..."

"Who is laughing at me? And who wants to spread the word?" Xue Wanying covered her mouth and laughed, "This is the Xue family, and I am the third lady of the Xue family! Gu Hua'er, don't think you are very smart, in my opinion Come on, you are so stupid..."

His eyes flickered, Gu Sixiao didn't answer, just smiled and looked away.

Seeing her expression, Xue Wanying couldn't help raising her eyebrows, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's better not to say..."

"I told you to say it, so you just say it!"

"Sister is really domineering!" Gu Sixiao complained softly, but said: "I have heard people say that she is the one who always says others are stupid..."

After saying a word, Xue Wanying's face immediately changed, she stared at Gu Sixiao and wanted to say something, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.

"You don't have to play tricks with me. No matter how sharp your teeth are, you can fool my father, but you can't fool my grandmother."

Gu Sixiao smiled and stopped talking.

Although Xue Wanying is older than the girl, but in comparison, Gu Sixiao is a few years older than her. What's the point of arguing with such a little girl.

Glaring at her fiercely, although Xue Wanying didn't speak, there was a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Without Gu Sixiao saying any more, she turned around and walked all the way.

Gu Sixiao didn't panic and just followed slowly.

He hadn't gone far before, but within half a cup of tea, he had already returned to Cixuan Hall.

In the yard, a servant woman was resting on a long bench, and when she saw the two of them, she hurriedly stood up.

But Xue Wanying waved her hand and raised her chin to signal the servant girl to go away.

The maid hesitated for a while, then quietly backed away.

After meeting two maids in a row, Xue Wanying retreated before they both came to pay her respects.

In the huge Cixuan Hall, the two of them were allowed to drive straight in, until the main room, and no one made a sound.

Gu Sixiao raised the corners of her mouth, lowered her head, and suppressed a smile.

I'm afraid that it's not just Xue Wanying who wants to eavesdrop, but someone else wants her to eavesdrop, right?
Approaching the window, Xue Wanying motioned for Gu Sixiao to be short, and she really did, leaning over to the window to listen.

I could only hear Xue Wen eagerly begging in the room: "Mother, isn't it all agreed? Why did you change your mind again?"

The old lady Xue snorted softly, and said lightly: "It's not that I changed my mind, but yesterday, I didn't agree at all. Think about it, when you talked, I never responded..."

Xue Wen was silent for a moment, as if he was really thinking about it, but soon he smiled wryly and said: "Whether you agree or not, mother, you can see that Hua'er is a good boy, I brought him back, you Just take the trouble, talk to the patriarch for me, open the ancestral hall, and let me recognize this child..."

Gu Sixiao, who was listening outside, felt hot, and thought that no matter whether Xue Wen was the girl's biological father or not, he was sincere to the girl.

"Nonsense!" The old lady Xue in the room suddenly shouted.

Outside the house, Xue Wanying raised her eyebrows at Gu Sixiao, a little proud.

"Is it that simple to open an ancestral hall and recognize the ancestors?!"

The old lady Xue snorted coldly, and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, what is going on with this painting? You said, it was the daughter born in the outer room you raised outside, but I was thinking about it. , why can’t you think of when you raised a foreign room? Not to mention whether your daughter-in-law is so confused or not, even your mother doesn’t know that her son raised a foreign room. Bar!"

Staring at the silent Xue Wen, she snorted coldly: "Jinan City is only so big, if something happens, it will spread quickly! As for you, if you really raise the outer room, it won't take ten days to spread the word." in my ears."

Staring at Xue Wen who had been silent all this time, she asked softly again: "Son, what are your difficulties, tell your mother! You can't just suffer from being dumb like this, just admit a girl and come back as a daughter!"

"Mother..." After suppressing for a long time, Xue Wen said in a hoarse voice: "Hua'er is my daughter!"

Before Mrs. Xue could speak again, he said in a deep voice, "Mother, I did not raise a concubine in Jinan. Hua'er's mother was whom I met when I was looking for silver mines in the south. She was reduced to a brothel when she was in the middle of the road. At that time, the son was out of face, and although he ransom for her, he did not bring him back to Jinan. Unexpectedly, when he sent someone to pick her mother and daughter back to Jinan, something happened, so that..."

Taking a deep breath, Xue Wen raised his head, and solemnly repeated: "Your child can be sure that Hua'er is my daughter. Mother doesn't have to doubt that."

"I know you in the south? You are a lady? A brothel?" Mrs. Xue asked, and she snorted, "Are you really sure that she is your daughter? Why do I vaguely feel that this child looks familiar..."

"She looks like a baby, so my mother will naturally think her face is familiar!"

Xue Wen said in a deep voice: "If mother doesn't want to show her face, then I will personally ask the patriarch. My daughter will naturally recognize her ancestors and return to her clan!"

"No--"

Following the shouting, there were several "ping-pong" sounds in the room, and I don't know what the old lady Xue fell.

Xue Wanying stared at Gu Sixiao, although she dared not speak out, the contempt and disdain in her eyes was undisguised.

Not ashamed of himself, Gu Sixiao still smiled lightly.

When Xue Wen in the room said helplessly: "Mother, don't you be so unreasonable", she suddenly stood up.

Gu Sixiao got up so suddenly, but Xue Wanying was startled.

Subconsciously pulled Gu Sixiao's clothes corner, she also wanted to ask Gu Sixiao to squat down again.

But she didn't want Gu Sixiao to turn around and walk away without even looking at her.

"Hello—" Seeing Gu Sixiao go to the door, she hurriedly yelled, but after only one yell, she hurriedly covered her mouth for fear of disturbing the inside.

Gu Sixiao didn't show any fear, so she walked to the door openly and knocked lightly.

When someone asked "Who" from the door, she responded unhurriedly, "Father, it's me—Hua'er, can you let me come in and talk?"

It was quiet inside for a while, Xue Wen immediately came over and opened the door, "Why are you here? It's Yingying again..." Turning his eyes away, he saw Xue Wanying who was still squatting under the window, her face was ashen.

Now that she was seen, Xue Wanying didn't hide anymore.

Jumping up suddenly, she rushed over angrily, "I knew it, you deliberately wanted me to be scolded, didn't you!?"

Gu Sixiao didn't go to see her, but just looked at Xue Wen, "Father, since what you and grandma are talking about is about me, can you let me go in and hear the truth?"

"It's nothing, you are a child, don't listen, hurry up, go back! Yingying, take your sister out..."

Before Xue Wen finished yelling, Gu Sixiao had already slipped into the gap and entered the room by himself.

Xue Wen was angry and annoyed, but he couldn't reach out to arrest people.

Seeing that the door was moved away, how could Xue Wanying still leave, and slipped in, she rushed straight at the old lady Xue, "Grandma, daddy beat me..."

Holding Xue Wanying in her arms, the old lady Xue coaxed her with a smile, "Your father didn't mean to murder you—you child too, why did you run to the window to eavesdrop? Is there anything you can't come in and say? Really I learned badly..."

Did you learn badly? !Who did you learn from?Although these words were not spoken out, everyone could understand them.

Xue Wen's face darkened, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

Gu Sixiao, on the other hand, was still smiling.

"Grandma, don't blame my sister, it's my fault..."

"Who is your sister, and who is your grandmother?!" Xue Wanying snorted coldly, and said it directly in front of her face.

"Yingying!" Xue Wen roared angrily, ignoring the protection of the old lady, and wanted to curse.

Xue Wanying was so scared that she kept diving into the old lady's arms.

"Okay, okay, you kid too, talking nonsense..."

What she said was Xue Wanying, but what she looked at was Gu Sixiao.

This grandparent and grandson really look alike.

Gu Sixiao smiled, but said softly: "Hua'er heard what grandma and father said just now. Father, please forgive Hua'er for being willful. I shouldn't be so rude, but when I heard the dispute between you and grandma, Hua'er really can't pretend to be confused..."

It's not like she can't pretend to be innocent and cute.

"Father, please don't make grandma angry again because of Hua'er. Hua'er is very sad when you argue with grandma like this..."

Weeping, Gu Sixiao suddenly fell to his knees, "Father, I know you love Hua'er and want to make up for me, but you should also think about grandma and this family..."

When she knelt down suddenly, several people in the room were shocked.

Xue's mother and son talked without leaving the girl in the room. At this moment, Xue Wen was also in a hurry. He didn't care about anything else, so he wanted to help her up, but he stretched out his hand and called Xue Wanying, "Hurry up and help your sister..."

At this time, how could Gu Sixiao be willing to get up, even if Xue Wanying reluctantly came to help her, she still refused to get up.

"Father, grandma is also for your own good. Earlier, my father did not clarify my daughter's life experience. If I knew that my daughter's biological mother did not even enter the Xue family, then no matter what, my daughter would not enter the house rashly. I was so tired that my father made things difficult for me." ..."

She doesn't care whether what Xue Wen said is true or not, this moment is her best chance.

"How can I enter the genealogy with a life experience like mine? If it is found out by outsiders, it will only make my father laugh..."

Wiping her tears, she said in a hoarse voice: "Daddy, please fulfill your daughter's filial piety, and just agree to grandma's request! If you don't open an ancestral hall, and don't have the surname Xue, even if your daughter can't recognize her ancestors, she is still yours." daughter……"

None of the people present thought that Gu Sixiao would say such words suddenly, and they were all stunned on the spot for a moment.

After a while, the old lady Xue was the first to react, "You, you say you don't recognize your ancestors?! Wen'er, did you hear what Hua'er said?! This child is really cute, and he did this for you. For my father's sake—it's really hard for her..."
