Twin Brocade

Chapter 219 The Ugly Truth

Fang Jinshu didn't listen to a word of what the teacher said in class.She was thinking about the Qiao family, but she always felt that she had overlooked something.Qiao Tongxuan is even more out of her mind, how can she listen to the lecture?

After finally getting out of class, Qiao Tongxuan took Fang Jinshu and left.

"Sister Xuan, where are you going?" Wu Wanqing called out in surprise from behind them: "The maid hasn't brought the food in yet." In the past, several of them ate together.

"I have something to say to Sister Shu," Qiao Tongxuan hurriedly said, "Let them come to Yinfeng Pavilion to find us."

Wu Wanqing agreed, looking at the backs of the two in a daze.

Yinfeng Pavilion is on the westernmost side of the women's school. In summer, you can see lotus flowers in the opposite pond, which is very beautiful.But in winter, there is no burning earth dragon here, but it is very cold, almost no one will come, it is a good place to talk.

The snow fell lightly yesterday, but now there is still snow on the high branches of the eaves, and the ground has already melted.The moisture stained the hem of the skirt, making Fang Jinshu's toes icy cold.

Arriving at Yinfeng Pavilion, Qiao Tongxuan turned back and closed the door, and cried out when she saw Fang Jinshu.She has endured it for a long time, since last night until now, before she has a chance to vent her emotions.

"What's wrong?" Fang Jinshu hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said softly, "What's the matter, tell me and see if I can help you."

"Sister Shu," Qiao Tongxuan choked up, "My mother... is dying!"

Fang Jinshu was startled, where did he say that?Even if Mrs. Qiao is seriously ill, who can predict her death?

"Don't worry, talk slowly, what's going on?"

Qiao Tongxuan cried a lot, and said: "Yesterday, my elder brother and I went out to watch the lanterns and came back. It was already late at night. Before my mother fell asleep, I went to her room to say hello. Later, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep in a daze."

"Later, I heard my father and mother quarreling," Qiao Tongxuan recalled the situation at that time, with a look of horror on her face.In front of people, her parents have always been a loving couple, and they have never even blushed, let alone quarreled.

"I didn't dare to open my eyes, so I continued to pretend to be sleeping. When I heard my father throw the curtain and go out, my mother was sobbing inwardly. Cuimei persuaded my mother a lot, and my mother stopped crying."

Qiao Tongxuan's wide-open eyes were full of confusion, her world was turned upside down overnight.The words she heard made her feel like she was in a nightmare.

Fang Jinshu hugged her distressedly, and said, "Sister Xuan, what have you heard? If it's convenient, you can tell me, maybe we can figure out a solution together."

Qiao Tongxuan suddenly turned her head to look at her, suddenly smiled, and said, "Do you know? I'm going to be your sister-in-law."

In the previous life, the Fang family and the Qiao family were in-laws, Fang Jinshu was not surprised.But now it seems that there is something wrong with this marriage.

"It's a good thing, sister Xuan, don't cry."

"But I heard from Cuimei that my mother exchanged her own life for this marriage." She wiped away the chaotic tears on her face, looked at Fang Jinshu and said, "Do you know what my father said?"

"Father said, since my mother is planning for my elder brother and me regardless of the interests of the family, if she wants to die, she should hurry up and don't block the way of others." Qiao Tongxuan tremblingly repeated the secret she heard last night. Baishun's father?
She grew up listening to the love story of her parents' encounter in Jiangnan, thinking that she would also look for such a lover when she grew up.However, the father who said such words made her feel so strange, and she couldn't believe what she heard was true.

Qiao Tongxuan was so well protected, and when she suddenly heard such an ugly truth, she was at a loss and at a loss what to do.

"It's common for couples to quarrel. You didn't hear the first half, so don't think too much about it." Fang Jinshu covered his shock, comforted Qiao Tongxuan, and said, "What kind of good things can you say when you are angry? If you want to talk too fast, why don't you think about it?" It’s not about picking whichever sentence is great.”

She finally knew where she was negligent.

Mrs. Qiao's illness cannot be cured even if Hua Tuo is alive.Behind this, complex family interests are involved.The exchange of interests between the Qiao family and the Lu family will not end because of Mrs. Qiao's death.

Lu Shiman's face unexpectedly flashed across Fang Jinshu's mind. She and Mrs. Qiao are both daughters of the Lu family, with the same temperament and charm, and the same destiny.

It turned out that it was not illness that killed Mrs. Qiao, but the life of the daughter of the Lu family!

God is so unfair!

The man coldly calculates the interests of the family, but wants the woman to pay for it for the rest of her life.When life is about to end, only the last life can be exchanged for the protection of children.

Facing the ugly truth, Fang Jinshu only felt that his comforting words were so feeble.

Qiao Tongxuan nodded, the truth she heard was too cruel, so cruel that she instinctively refused to believe it.No matter how empty Fang Jinshu's words were, she was willing to believe them.

She is the common daughter of Qiao and Lu, and she has been favored countless times since she was a child.Even Mrs. Qiao, who is strict and shrewd, loves her very much.It's a big deal, as long as she acts like a baby, she can escape punishment.

She had never experienced anything before, and the blow this time was so severe that she just wanted to hide, unwilling to admit this reality.

She didn't want others to see it at home, but when she arrived at school, she couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to talk to someone.Since her mother had arranged for her to marry Fang Ziquan, and Fang Jinshu had always been on good terms with her, she had no choice but to come to Fang Jinshu and tell her all the secrets in her heart.

"Hurry up and wipe away your tears," Fang Jinshu said, "People in the province thought I was bullying you."

She knew that Qiao Tongxuan was pure-hearted, and if she had to accept it all at once, she would definitely not be able to bear it, and she was afraid that something would go wrong.The impact of this matter can only be digested slowly by time, and there will always be a day when she will understand Mrs. Qiao's painstaking efforts.

Fang Jinshu lowered his voice, and said, "Are you really going to marry my brother and become my sister-in-law?" Any girl who doesn't have a spring in her heart shifted the topic to this, so Qiao Tongxuan naturally thought less about other things.

The tears on Qiao Tongxuan's face were still wet, when she heard the mention of her marriage, she said in a daze, "That's what mother said. By the way, do you know about it?"

Fang Jinshu shook his head and said, "No."

The marriage of two surnames is a major event, and the two families are very strict in tone, and will not reveal it until they are formally engaged.Si Lansheng also disclosed this marriage to Mrs. Gong.If Qiao Tongxuan hadn't happened to hear it, she wouldn't know.

"I'm only 11 years old this year. I thought I could have fun for a few more years, but I didn't expect to get engaged." Qiao Tongxuan didn't know what mood she was in. Except for the sudden feeling, she didn't feel like a girl after hearing about the marriage. shy.

"Since this matter hasn't been said yet, there is naturally an elder's reason." Fang Jinshu said: "Besides me, you must never tell anyone else."
