Chapter 267 Engaged

The most important thing right now is the marriage between Cen Yurui and Gu Xujie. Because Sun Wenying secretly targeted her, Shen Yao even felt somewhat disgusted with Cen Yuqi and her mother-in-law, Mo Shuxian.

Since Mo Shuxian hoped that she would ruin Cen Yurui's reputation, she wanted to go against her!
Judging from the current situation, Gu Xujie is really in love with Cen Yurui, but if there is any hidden secret in it, he still needs to meet the person involved.

Cen Yurui lives deep in her boudoir, it is not easy to see her, it seems that she still needs to meet Gu Xujie.

Hearing that Shen Yao was going to look for Gu Xujie again, He Lianyi naturally followed up without hesitation.

This time again, Shen Yao didn't dress up as Xiao Taohua, she was still her original appearance.Meng Xiangdong already knew his secret. Although he kept saying that he would not publicize it to the outside world, she could not sit still.

That being the case, it doesn't matter if the local government announces the matter.

The two came in the afternoon when there were no students, and Gu Xujie was still sitting there reading a book, and they still didn't notice that they both came to the front.

Gu Xujie is really talented to be so obsessed with reading.

"Ahem, Mr. Gu?"

Shen Yao yelled twice before Gu Xujie finally raised his head.

Seeing this, Gu Xujie was terrified!

Why are these two strange people here again?Didn't they just come looking for their own trouble?Now that they are together again, could it be that they formed a group to fight with themselves?

He Lianyi was very clear about the reason why Gu Xujie made such an expression, but Shen Yao didn't know. She thought it was because she frightened him by using a beauty trick last time, so she couldn't help showing embarrassment on her face.

"Well, Mr. Gu, I actually came here today to discuss something important. I wonder if it's convenient for you to talk here?"

Shen Yao cut straight to the point, and Gu Xujie was scared away by herself.

"Miss, are you talking about ordering your younger brother to study in the school? Yes, I wonder how old your younger brother is, and what kind of books did you study before?"

Gu Xujie obviously still remembered what Shen Yao mentioned when he came last time, that's why he asked this question.

Shen Yao couldn't help but feel ashamed, but after he reminded her, she remembered something, she didn't care about it because she didn't have a younger brother in the past, but now she really has a younger brother named Xiaoxiao, shouldn't it be time for Xiaoxiao to come and learn to read?
However, this matter is not urgent at this moment, it is better to deal with Cen Yurui's marriage first.

"Young master Gu was joking, but I actually have one more important matter."

Seeing that Gu Xujie was a little dazed, Shen Yao looked around and found no one eavesdropping, then said in a low voice: "What I'm talking about is actually your marriage with Miss Cen."

Now, Gu Xujie finally reacted.

"You, who are you? How do you know about my relationship with Rui'er, Rui'er?"

Due to the shock, Gu Xujie stuttered.

Shen Yao shook her head secretly, it seems that Gu Xujie also knew that it was impossible for him and Cen Yurui, otherwise he wouldn't be so panic-stricken.

"To be honest, I actually have another identity, that is Xiao Taohua, the apprentice of A Yue Matchmaker in the town. It is also the matchmaker Mrs. Cen invited to match Miss Cen this time."

Shen Yao revealed her identity with a single mouth, causing He Lianyi to look sideways.He still remembered how cautious he was when he found out that Shen Yao disguised herself to hide the matter, why did she say it by herself today?

Gu Xujie didn't know what A Yue Xiaotaohua was about, but because he had just met Cen Yurui yesterday and heard her talk about it, he felt familiar.

"So, you are the matchmaker Xiao Taohua invited by that poisonous woman?"

The poisonous woman should be Mrs. Cen, Mo Shuxian.

However, Shen Yao is also a little puzzled. It is said that Mo Shuxian loves Miss Cen very much. Even if she doesn't treat her like her own daughter, she is still able to live with it on a big scale, and she doesn't deliberately quarrel like other stepmothers. What about the original children!
But, why did Gu Xujie grit his teeth with hatred when he mentioned her?

"Young Master Gu, do you have something..."

"Stop asking!"

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Xujie interrupted her unceremoniously, and even turned sideways in a gesture of seeing off the guests: "Since you are the matchmaker invited by the poisonous woman, you must not be a good person. You don’t need to worry about the matter between me and Rui’er. The gate is there, please leave as soon as possible! In the future, don’t come to my school, we don’t welcome you here!”

Such a simple and rude see-off is thanks to this frail scholar who can do it. It seems that he hates Mo Shuxian to the extreme.

He Lianyi narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists and was about to step forward to teach him a lesson, but Shen Yao stopped him first.

Shen Yao smiled and said: "Young Master Gu, you must have misunderstood. Although I am the matchmaker invited by Mrs. Cen, there is nothing I can do about it. Alas, I said that I invited you here just to be nice. In fact, I was threatened by her. Yes, out of helplessness, I had no choice but to accept this marriage."

Is it necessary?That Mo Shuxian really has a lot of eyes, and she asked Huang Nama to send money and secretly threatened her, so she couldn't get along in Heman Town if she didn't take it.

Thinking of this, Shen Yao also told the story about herself and her master A Yue being threatened by Mo Shuxian. Of course, it also included the story about Mo Shuxian asking her to set Cen Yurui up.

"What? She actually asked you to do such a nasty thing?"

When Gu Xujie heard this, his whole body trembled with anger.

He Lianyi's face was even darker, he had only been away for a few days, but Shen Yao was threatened by someone unexpectedly.

Alright, he remembered Mrs. Cen, he must make her look good!

Shen Yao sighed: "Yes, Mr. Gu, I don't know if you know, but my real name is not Xiao Taohua, because I have a bad reputation and I am afraid of being misunderstood by others, so I used the pseudonym Xiao Taohua as a matchmaker. Today I will I have told you such an important secret, do you think it is necessary for me to lie to you?
Furthermore, now I and you are both grasshoppers on the same rope, if I quit halfway, Mrs. Cen will definitely not let me have a good time.But if I really do something that is detrimental to you and Miss Cen's reputation, I will feel very sorry, so ah, Mr. Gu, I came to you these two times just to see if you treat Miss Cen sincerely .If so, I, Shen Yao, will naturally try my best to help you get married.If not, just treat me as Shen Yao who is blind! "

Shen Yao's words have come to this point, why is Gu Xujie still worried?Dang Li clasped his fists in his hands and bowed respectfully, and said gratefully: "Grandmaid, the students will never forget it."

It seems that he believed in Shen Yao and wanted to advance and retreat with her.

Shen Yao was very grateful for Gu Xujie's trust in her, and asked again: "I heard that Miss Cen stopped walking with her natal family after her biological mother passed away. How did you and Miss Cen meet? Isn't it difficult for her to go out in the mansion? "

This is also the biggest problem that has troubled Shen Yao these days.

Gu Xujie said: "It is true that we have lost contact. I have never even met Ruier. However, Ruier suddenly came to the school half a year ago, saying that her sister invited her to come to the old man for advice. But At that time, Master had already returned home to enjoy the blessings, and I was the only one in the school, so..."

Therefore, the old gentleman must have not been found, only a young little gentleman was found.

Shen Yao frowned and pondered: "Did you come with her sister?"

Gu Xujie shook his head: "No, she brought her maid herself. It is said that her sister came early, and she encountered an accident on the way and came later. Oh, by the way, I didn't see her until we finished discussing the problem. her sister."

That's right, it seems that Cen Yuqi was responsible for this incident.

Wait, something is wrong!
Shen Yao suddenly patted her palm.If Cen Yurui wanted to go out, he had to ask Mo Shuxian's permission. How could an unmarried young lady like theirs go out with only a maid?At least there will be a maid or a nun with her.

Therefore, this incident must have been caused by Mo Shuxian.As for whether Cen Yuqi knew about it, it's hard to say.

Although at the beginning she suspected that the meeting between the two was done by Mo Shuxian, but now that it has been confirmed, she still finds it hard to accept.

On the surface, she is very kind to her original spouse's children, but secretly doing such extremely dirty things, Mo Shuxian's heart is really dark enough.

After hearing Shen Yao's analysis, Gu Xujie was also very angry, and said bitterly: "If I had known that the Cen family didn't have any good things, I shouldn't have listened to my mother and gave up this marriage! Marry Ruier into the family earlier , and prevent her from being bullied by those bastards again!"

Shen Yao was taken aback, what does it mean to give up this marriage?Could it be that there is something else between him and Cen Yurui?
Gu Xujie was very entangled, and in the end he just shook his head and said, "Actually, Rui'er and I had a marriage contract, but Master Cen later denied it."

What happened in the middle, Gu Xujie is not very clear, because his parents never mentioned it to him again.If he hadn't met Cen Yurui later and fell in love at first sight, his parents would have already asked someone to find another marriage for him.

After thinking about it, Shen Yao still felt that it was necessary for her to meet Gu Xujie's mother, You Shi, so that she could find out what happened to the Cen family, which might help resolve the marriage between Cen Yurui and Gu Xujie!

The three left as soon as they said they would, and soon came to the door of Gu Xujie's parents' tofu shop.

It was just after dinner time, so it was not a good time for customers to buy tofu, so Cen Yongan and Youshi were sitting in the shop talking and not busy.

Seeing that his son had brought two people back, Cen Yongan raised his head and looked curiously, but he, who was always reticent, didn't ask any questions.

On the other hand, You Shi, because of his business, his eloquence has improved a bit, and he asked with a smile, "Jie'er, is this your friend?"

It's hard to talk outside now, Gu Xujie just nodded, and took Shen Yao and He Lianyi to the backyard, of course he didn't forget to call his parents in.

After Cen Yong'an and You Shi sat down, Gu Xujie told the two of Shen Yao's identity and Mo Shuxian's conspiracy in detail.

Hearing this, both of You Shi were shocked, even though they were both extremely honest and responsible people, they couldn't hold back and cursed together.

"I said long ago that the woman had no good intentions, but you don't believe me! Now that it's all over, she actually made her mind on the child!"

You Shi was also guilty and angry: "At the beginning he said he would take good care of Rui'er, so I believed it. I thought that Rui'er is also his biological daughter, even if he spoils his concubine and kills his wife, he can't cheat his own daughter." Ah! Who would have thought... Alas! I was so blind back then, how could I be worthy of the dead Hong'er!"

Although he didn't directly name this one, Shen Yao could guess who it was, it must be Cen Yurui's biological father, Cen Liang.

But, what happened to spoiling concubines and destroying wives?
You Shi shook his head and sighed: "Actually, when my sister married into the Cen family, they were not so well-off, so they were considered well-matched. Later, I don't know how Cen Liang hooked up with Miss Mo's family. With the support of the Mo family, Cen Liang's business is getting better and better, and Mo Shuxian has also entered the door."

It's just that Mo Shuxian is always a concubine, and she has to bow her head when she meets Cen Yurui's biological mother.But she couldn't stand Cen Liang's favor, so Mo Shuxian gave birth to her eldest son, Cen Qian, as a concubine.

Later, the first wife, You Shi, gave birth to the first daughter, Cen Yurui.But for some unknown reason, You Shi suffered a hemorrhage when giving birth to her daughter, and died soon after.

This was exactly what Mo Shuxian wanted, and even if she was lifted from the concubine's room to the main room.

Because Mo Shuxian's natal family is not bad, and her younger sister Mo Shujing married a Sun family who is also of good background, so no one outsiders dare to say that Mo Shuxian was a concubine at the beginning, and now everyone only knows that she is a concubine. The stepmother, but I don't know that it is the stepmother who was carried up by the concubine.

"Although our Gu family is not as rich as the Cen's family, it is still considered a scholarly family. Back then, Hong'er and I also made a baby marriage, and there was even a marriage certificate as proof. It's just that Cen Liang looked down on us as poor as soon as he gained power. Relatives, and I didn’t even recognize the marriage. I didn’t mention it again after that, if Jie’er and Rui’er hadn’t met each other by accident, I’m afraid this matter would really be covered up!”

You Shi had mixed feelings, wondering whether it was good or bad for her son to meet Rui Er.

Shen Yao couldn't help muttering in her heart, it seems that You Shi didn't know that this matter was written by Mo Shuxian!
Gu Xujie even told his mother what happened when he met Cen Yurui, and sure enough, You Shi also came to the same conclusion as Shen Yao after hearing it.

She had been to Cen's house when she was young, so she naturally knew that Cen's family rules were very strict, and Cen Yurui could not go out casually without the consent of the mistress.

It seems that this matter is undoubtedly Mo Shuxian's handwriting.

"Girl, thank you so much for being able to help me and Ruier! My sister is in the spirit of the sky, and I don't think she wants her daughter to be killed by villains. Girl, I beg you to find a way to save my poor niece Let's go!"

Youshi looked at Shen Yao with snot and tears, maybe she felt powerless, seeing Shen Yao's help at this time, she put all the hope in her heart on Shen Yao.

Shen Yao hurriedly helped You Shi who was about to kneel on the ground, and said, "Mrs. Gu, don't say thank you or not. In fact, when I help Miss Cen and Mr. Gu, I am also helping myself! Then Mrs. Cen secretly To deceive me and Master, I really couldn't bear my conscience and didn't want to be in trouble with her, so I thought of starting with you."

Youshi nodded and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

what to do?Shen Yao is also helpless at this time!

He Lianyi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Since there is a marriage contract and a marriage certificate, just go to the door directly. If they don't recognize it, then go to the government."

The ancients put a lot of emphasis on child relatives, so the marriage contract is not as simple as just talking casually, there must be a marriage certificate, and there are seals from the official media and the yamen on it!

It is to prevent one of the engaged parties from refusing to admit it, so as long as they bring this marriage certificate to the yamen to file a complaint, the matter can be settled [-]%.

But Youshi said hesitantly: "Well, that marriage certificate, in fact, has been taken back by him a long time ago."

After You Hong passed away, Cen Liang didn't recognize the marriage.In order for Cen Hao to treat the young Cen Yurui well, Youshi was cruel and sent back the marriage certificate.

It's just that he didn't expect that Cen Liang's promise, which was exchanged with the marriage certificate, still failed to be realized in the end.

"Without a marriage certificate, it will be difficult!"

Shen Yao sighed, she really didn't know what to do now.

Gu Xujie thumped his legs hard, and said ruthlessly: "It's all my fault that I'm useless. If I could pass the exam earlier, I wouldn't let Rui'er be looked down upon!"

What did Cen Liang say that he didn't want his daughter to endure hardships with him, but in fact he didn't like their poor family.The reason why he studied so hard was to be able to be the number one scholar in the exam one day and feel proud, not only for himself and his parents, but also for Rui'er.

He really likes Rui'er, so how could he be willing to let Rui'er suffer with him?

You Shi patted his son on the shoulder and advised: "Jie'er, we all appreciate your hard work, and you will definitely pass the exam next year!"

Youshi believed in his son's strength, but Cen Yongan was a little worried. The ancestors of the Cen family were not people who had not taken the exam, and there were even many people who were more talented than Gu Xujie.

It's just that for some reason, these people performed abnormally as soon as they took the examination room, and they all lost their names in the end.

Could it be that it was because the Cen family was demoted back then that ruined the Cen family's official career?
"Young Master Gu, we also believe in your strength, you will definitely pass the exam."

Shen Yao doesn't know much about Xiliang's scientific examination system, but when he came to see Gu Xujie these two times, seeing his concentration on his studies, he knew that he was not sloppy in his studies. people are rewarded.

Therefore, when it comes to the marriage between Gu Xujie and Cen Yurui, she also believes that heaven rewards hard work, as long as she thinks of a suitable way, she will be able to make their lovers get married.

After thinking about it, Shen Yao said: "Then Mrs. Cen has bad intentions and wants me to set you up so that you can make raw rice and cooked rice. I guess she definitely doesn't want you to get married. There must be something in it. What invisible people's purpose."

As for the purpose, she still can't think of it.

"Miss Shen, we will do what you say we should do. I don't want to be able to stay with Ruier now, I just hope that the poisonous woman won't let her wish come true. If Ruier's reputation is harmed, I will be really guilty." Damn dead."

Gu Xujie would rather delay his marriage with Cen Yurui than let Mo Shuxian harm her.

Shen Yao understands this hard work.

But how to do it now depends on what Mrs. Cen will do. When the time comes, she will tear her face apart.

After talking to the Gu family for a while, Shen Yao and He Lianyi were ready to leave.

Before leaving, Shen Yao thought about it and asked them not to tell others her secret for the time being, in case of accidents.

The Gu family are all sensible people, and they agreed to this request immediately.

Coming out of the Gu family, Shen Yao was frowning all the way, apparently still thinking about Cen Yurui.

He Lianyi thought for a while, stepped forward to hold her hand, and said, "Is Mrs. Cen difficult to deal with? How about this, I will let Ah Zhong teach her a lesson secretly so that she can no longer do bad things. When the time comes, you want Let whoever marries marry."

puff!
Shen Yao burst out laughing, and looked at him amusedly: "You think this is shopping for vegetables on the street, and whoever you want to marry is allowed to marry! Forget it, I'll figure it out on my own, I have to go another day Only the Cen family can meet that Mrs. Cen."

After being interrupted by He Lianyi, Shen Yao's mood improved a lot.The two chatted while walking, very happy.

In a private room on the third floor of Yanhuazhuang, Heliannuo stared at Helianyi who was ostentatiously on the street with his eyes wide open, his jaw almost dropped in shock!

My god, my god, is that man holding the woman's hand just now really his little uncle He Lianyi?Was he blindsided?
Rubbing his eyes fiercely, Heliano almost jumped off the stairs when he looked at the unusually familiar figure from the back.

No wonder he always felt that He Lianyi was hiding secrets, but he was always obstructed when he sent tall and short men to follow up secretly.Every time when the truth is about to be found out, He Lianyi and Ah Zhong and Ah Cheng will disappear for a period of time inexplicably.

Dare to love, he is a treasure in the golden house!

Heliannuo suddenly burst out laughing, the little uncle who is blind to women actually has a woman he likes, he is really curious what kind of woman can conquer Helianyi's heart?
He must meet this woman!
Hu Meier heard the laughter and came over with a charming voice: "Young Master He laughed so happily, but what happened to you? Why don't you tell us and let's have fun together?"

Heliano ticked her chin and said with a smile: "My son is going to have a little aunt soon, do you think I should give her a meeting gift?"

aunt?Hu Meier was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

She always felt powerless when she was with Heliano, maybe that's why he didn't touch her until now?
