The beauty of this palace will kill you in minutes

Chapter 3 Rejection
Nurse, the old lady sent someone to call the young lady over there! "The big girl Lulan reported to Nanny Zhu.

Nanny Zhu asked, "Which girl came to summon me?"

Lu Lan replied: "It's the big girl beside the old lady, Fei Cui."

"Understood." Nanny Zhu said, she opened the curtain and went in to report to Xia Fei.

Xia Fei put down the white jade comb she was playing with in her hand, and muttered: "Wake up early and say hello, grandma didn't say anything, and now she suddenly asked Jade to call me over, could it be..."

Nanny Zhu also guessed, "Maybe it's related to the marriage, and I'm going to have a formal discussion with the lady here?"

Xia Fei nodded, sat in front of the dressing table to check her face and make-up, and changed into a new set of clothes, then took Nanny Zhu and Lu Lan, and followed Fei Cui to see Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen sent away the maids, leaving only her daughter-in-law Mrs. Luo by her side.

Seeing Xia Fei come in with the nanny and girl, she nodded and said: "Fei'er sit down, the others go out!"

Seeing this scene, Nanny Zhu and Lu Lan clearly had important matters to discuss, so they both left and waited outside the courtyard gate.

The room became quiet, Mrs. Shen didn't say anything about calling Xia Fei over, but first reprimanded: "Every month for rouge, gouache, and monthly money, there is nothing missing from you. Even if you don't look good, you still learn to dress up. Some top-quality fans, so they won’t show such a face to irritate people.”

Xia Fei lowered her head and said: "Ancestor, it's not that I don't learn how to dress up, but that my face is swollen and rashes appear at every turn, so I have to apply more powder to cover it up. I also consulted a doctor before, and the doctor prescribed medicine, but the swelling could not be eliminated. There is nothing I can do. what!"

It was not the first time that Mrs. Shen scolded Xia Fei on this issue, nor was it the first time Xia Fei argued.

Mrs. Luo knew it well, this was Mrs. Shen's first reminder of Xia Fei's unattractive appearance before she got down to business, so as to save her from picking and choosing.

Seeing that the atmosphere between grandparents and grandchildren was not right, Mrs. Luo hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "As the saying goes, women change their minds by the eighteenth year. Fei'er is only 14 years old. Maybe in a few years, her appearance will grow and the swelling will disappear!"

"It's 14 years old, and it looks like this." Mrs. Shen sighed.

Xia Fei lowered her head lower and lower, looking very humble.

"Okay, I called you here to discuss something with you." Mrs. Shen calmed down a little, and said, "You are also at this age, so it's time to say kiss."

"Is someone proposing marriage to me?" Xia Fei looked up in surprise.

Mrs. Shen's expression became more and more relaxed, she nodded and said: "It's the people from the General's Mansion who came to propose marriage."

Xia Fei stammered, "The General's Mansion? But General Chen has only one daughter and no son!"

Mrs. Luo couldn't help but interjected, "It's a marriage proposal for General Chen."

"Uh!" Xia Fei shouted with wide eyes, "The general is 35 years old, and I'm only fourteen."

"You child!" Mrs. Luo interrupted Xia Fei, and said with a smile: "The general is in his prime, with a bright future, and no son under him. Once you pass, you will be the head of the house. In the future, if you have a son, the whole house will You are the master, it is better than marrying those stunned youths."

Mrs. Shen nodded and said, "It's exactly what your aunt said."

Xia Fei looked at Mrs. Shen, then at Mrs. Luo, and sneered in her heart.

Well, just like in the previous life, I want to sell her for a good price.

"Ancestor, aunt, I don't agree!" Xia Fei stood up and said word by word.

Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Luo couldn't help being stunned.

Although the general is a little older, but with such a family background, if he wants to marry a step-wife, there are still many people flocking to him.The general came to propose marriage. From their point of view, the general thought highly of the Song family and Xia Fei.

If Xia Fei had a little brains, she would agree to this marriage.

"Fei'er, if you don't marry someone like General Chen, what do you want to marry?" Mrs. Shen asked with a sneer.

"I, I want to discuss the marriage after my cousin gets married." Xia Fei sat back on the chair with a "boom".

Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Luo looked at each other.

It turned out that Xia Fei had a crush on Song Minxing!

Earlier, I had heard rumors that Xia Fei often "ran into" Song Minxing.Only Song Minxing hated people with bad looks the most, because he managed to avoid Xia Fei, so they lived in peace.

Mrs. Luo sighed secretly. When Xia Fei was a child, she was very cute as Yuxue. When she came to the Song family at the age of nine, she was also a beauty. It was unexpected that in just a few years, she became uglier and uglier, and she became like this .

Mrs. Shen is also helpless. Because of Xia Fei's deteriorating appearance, she doubts whether there is something wrong with Xia Fei's health. She also asked a doctor to diagnose Xia Fei, but the doctor only said that it is very likely to be fetal poisoning. medicine.

When they brought Xia Fei to the Song family, everyone knew that Xia Fei would marry Song Minxing in the future, but with Xia Fei's current appearance, the marriage was obviously not going to happen.

Xia Fei saw that Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Luo were silent for a moment, but she secretly smiled: Do you think I want to marry my cousin?It's ridiculous!I just want to wait until he gets married, the rice is ready, and he can't miss me anymore, so he can show his true face again!
Mrs. Luo said with difficulty: "Fei'er, your cousin will not get married until two years later. At that time, you will be sixteen."

Song Minxing was already engaged at the end of last year. It happened that the woman had to observe mourning for three years. The two parties agreed that the marriage would take two years.

Xia Fei said: "Old Ancestor, Auntie, let's talk about my marriage in two years!"

Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Luo looked at each other again.Does this mean she has to wait for Song Minxing to get married before she gives up?

"Fei'er, in two years' time, when you get older, it may be hard to find someone with the qualifications of a great general." Mrs. Shen frowned.

"I beg my ancestors to help me!" Xia Fei said firmly.

Mrs. Luo frowned, but didn't speak again.The Song family is now fighting for their reputation. If Xia Fei is forced to marry her, if she makes a fuss, outsiders will say that the Song family bullies weak girls, which is bad for the Song family's reputation.This matter is really difficult to handle.

Old Mrs. Shen was also in the same mind as Mrs. Luo, she thought about it and asked, "Fei'er, do you think General Chen is too old?"

"Anyway, General Chen's daughter is the same age as me, so I don't want to marry him," Xia Fei said.

"Then let's forget about it!" Mrs. Shen said: "Only one thing, if someone talks about marriage, everything must be arranged by me, and nothing will be violated!"

Having said so much, Xia Fei knew that she could no longer refuse, so she nodded.

I have to find a good man quickly and get out of this pit of fire.

Xia Fei felt a sudden pain in her heart. She thought the same way in her previous life, but in the end she chose the wrong person, did not get out of the fire pit, and even lost her life.

On the other side, Cheng Yujing learned from the mouths of other diners that the general invited someone to the Song family to propose marriage.

After a little thought, he found out that the person whom General Chen Changchun wanted to propose marriage to was Xia Fei.

He was emotionally agitated, rubbing his hands and muttering to himself: "With such wealth and beauty, how can he marry someone else as his successor? No, I have to meet her and persuade her!"
