Xia Shou was immediately confused. The reason why Elder Huang came to her house in the middle of the night was to tell her these things? He was her father, not Liu Yan's father. How could he tell her these things?
"Dad, he doesn't like me, why do I have to live with him? And treat him well?" Xia Xi was really disgusting Liu Yan, a jerk. Thinking of living with him in the future, he felt uncomfortable. He had to find a way to get rid of Liu Yan.
"Wanwan, you've always been a sensible child. Father knows that this marriage has been decided too urgently. Even though you've suffered a grievance, it's still better than the Liu Family being exterminated!" Huang Jie's expression became even more serious.
Xia Shou's eyes immediately widened in shock. The extermination of the entire family? That serious? No wonder Huang Shan said that the Liu Clan would escape calamity after finally getting married. What was going on? Was the Liu and Huang families uniting to help the Liu Clan avert disaster? Zhi Qian was also a member of the Huang Clan.
Xia Keke's eyes flashed and she said, "Isn't it better to marry Qianqian to Liu Yan? They're about the same age and love each other."
Huang Mojie's face suddenly darkened. Outside the room, a middle-aged woman dressed in bright colors was full of anger. She rushed over with no face and pointed at Xia Chao's nose and scolded him.
"What nonsense are you spouting, little girl? You're trying to frame your sister. She's only fifteen years old, and she won't get married if this gets out. What are you trying to do?" she said, bursting into tears. "You heartless girl! You've lived for more than ten years in vain. I fed you and made you clothes..."
Xia Keke couldn't help blinking her eyes. Looking at the woman who was very combative in front of her, she was confused. Who was this woman? Was what she said her mother? Thinking of this possibility, Xia Keke couldn't help but shudder.
Huang Jie roared, "Alright, you always say that even though she isn't your own daughter, she's still your daughter. I know it's not easy for you to bring her up, so you don't have to keep talking about her all the time."
Mr. Huang's words made Mrs. Liu stop talking, but she still mumbled in her mouth, "You always favor her. Since when have you thought of us? When I married you, I was still a young girl. I brought your children as soon as I married you. At that time, your family was so poor. If it weren't for your noble status and the fact that you could be an official in the future, I wouldn't have married you.
"Now, you're an official and now you're rich. You don't respect us anymore. Listen to what she said just now, Zhi Qian is still a virgin. If words spread out, her reputation will be ruined. How can she get married in the future?"
Xia Keke finally understood that Master Huang was the one who filled in the house. She couldn't help but smile. This woman was really amazing. She dared to speak to Master Huang in this way, which indicated that Master Huang was very good at dealing with her. Moreover, she said these words one after another in such a smooth way, which must have been something that she used to talk about.
He couldn't help but feel sympathy for Huang Shan again. His ears must have beenasked for information. Suddenly, he remembered Huang Zhiqian's words. Since she said that she was Liu Yan's subordinate a long time ago, what reputation did she have?
Xia Zeng could not help but smirk coldly at the woman in front of him. "Impressive and well-behaved. How can one's reputation be ruined just because someone claims it's not worth it? Hehe!"
Upon seeing her expression, Madam Liu did not suppress the anger in her heart. "Look, look, Old Master, look at her like that. She just doesn't want to see her."
Elder Huang looked at the Xia Dynasty. She was indeed different from before. In the past, if Mrs. Liu had said these words to her, she would have bowed her head and said nothing. If Mrs. Liu was seriously ill, she would still kneel down and admit her mistake. It was the first time that she had responded in such a sarcastic tone.
"Hey, don't say it again in the future." Although Elder Huang wanted to protect her, he also knew that his words were serious.
Xia Keke was so angry that she laughed. She pointed at herself and said, "Oh, I'm talking nonsense. There is no camera in this room. If I really want you to see it yourself, what did Gu Qian say to me? Why did she declare war on me with five or six people?"
She stood up and imitated Guan Qian's actions and said, "Why can you marry my cousin? You don't deserve him at all. He doesn't like you at all. He likes me. Sooner or later, I will let my cousin marry me. I told you that I have been said to be my cousin for a long time."
After saying that, she looked at Mrs. Liu disdainfully. "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Your daughter likes you so much, so I'll give her to you. Liu Yan, that bastard, really doesn't catch my eye."
###Chapter 5:: Five
The night wind blew in from the door, making Mr. Huang and Mrs. Liu shudder. This woman in front of them was the Huang Shan whom they were familiar with?
What she said just now was even more serious. After a moment of silence, Mrs. Liu rushed to Xia insanely, "I will tear up your mouth and let you talk nonsense so that Jiu Qian will be innocent."
Xia Shou did not expect Madam Liu, who was dressed in a dignified and hot dress, to suddenly move forward. When she reacted, she took a step back to avoid it, but it was too late. A burning sensation came from her neck, and the pain made her angry immediately. She reached out and grabbed Madam Liu's wrist in front of her, which made her unable to move, and stretched out her leg to sweep Madam Liu to the ground.
"Alas!" Madam Liu was heavily knocked to the ground and cried bitterly. She glared at Xia Tian and said, "You little b***h, how dare you fight back!"
Elder Huang looked at the situation in front of him with a worried look on his face. "What's wrong with you? You helped your second mother up. That's too outrageous."
Xia Guo glanced at Mrs. Liu, who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. He reached out his hand to touch her neck, which was bleeding from the scratch. "Why should I go to help her? She was the first one to rush over and beat me. She fell down on her own and scolded me."
Elder Huang's face became serious. "Hey, help your second mother get up. Do you hear me?"
Xia Guo was shocked by her tone and expression. Although he was extremely unwilling, he still bent down to support Mrs. Liu. The reason why she gave in was that she was in good health. The man in front of her was her father. In ancient times, no one would disobey the elders. More importantly, she had to rely on this old man now.
As soon as Mrs. Liu was lifted up, she fiercely shook off Xia Qian's hand, and her eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness. She walked to the side of the old man and said, "Master, you just heard what this girl said to Zhi Qian. She actually said something like that... I couldn't even say those words. I was so ashamed."
After saying this, she burst into tears again. "Master, you must help Zhiyuan! She's going to get married in the future. If news of this gets out, we'll be too ashamed to live."
Without saying a word, he walked up to Xia Guo and slapped him in the face.
Xia Guo was slapped by Elder Huang for no reason. Touching his hot face, he looked at Huang Jie with a hint of anger in his eyes. Her father was not willing to give her a slap, but he was already wounded on the neck as soon as she passed by. What kind of world was this?
Huang Mojie looked at his daughter with a heart-wrenching expression. "Yao Yao, I saw that you lost your mother since you were young, so I dote on you even more. Although you're a woman, I'll still teach you how to read and write."
"Although we are from humble families, my father has been grooming you like a young lady from a rich family. I have invited the best master to teach you zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. In recent years, thanks to your uncle-in-law, I have become an official in the family.
"These years, where have you lost all the things you have learned? How can you be so irresponsible and ignorant? Do you know how serious the words you just said are? I think you have been spoiled too much these years, and that's why you're so bold to go to Lingyan Temple. So you talk nonsense. Ahem... Ahem..." Old Master Huang couldn't help coughing before he finished his words, and his face was as red as pork liver.
Lady Liu quickly helped Old Man Huang to his seat. She patted his back lightly to help him catch his breath. She also gave him a resentful look.
Xia Keke's angry eyes gradually softened, and for a while, the role had not changed yet. She did not realize that what she had done today was contrary to the ancient moral ethics and etiquette.
Hearing Elder Huang's words, she began to realize how much he doted on her. Even if she made a mess in Lingyan Temple, even if she fainted from anger, even if she beat up the new eunuch, he didn't say a word to teach her. Did these not touch his bottom line?
Then why did she slap on the face just now? For the sake of Zhi Qian? It seemed that the child was the most important in his heart. The old man in front of him loved his daughter so much, but Zhi Qian did such a thing. She couldn't let her humiliate his father. Something had to be said.
"Dad, I know you love us, but you can't ignore the face of Huang's Family. She told me about the influence of Zhi Qian and Liu Yan's Family in person. You don't want to see her marry someone and be sent back to Huang's Family!"
"You little b***h, see how I won't tear your mouth. How did I let you down? You're trying to slander her like that." Madam Liu rushed up to Xia Tian once again.
This time, Xiaxia was prepared and avoided it. Mrs. Liu didn't manage to catch her.
Xia Guo looked at Mrs. Liu seriously and said, "Whether it's slander or not, you can ask her to come here as a face to face."
Elder Huang raised his head and looked at Xia Guo. He knew that she was a bit abnormal today, but it must not be groundless for her to speak so seriously. If Fan Qian really did something disrespectful to her, it would be hard to imagine. Did she really let Zhi Qian marry Liu Yan as a concubine?
Elder Huang thought to himself and lowered his head slightly. "Go and call Zhiqian over."
Mrs. Liu was a little hesitant. How could she say that? If she called for Zhi Qian, it meant that even she, as her mother, didn't believe her.
"Master, Zhi Qian has been a clever and sensible child since she was a child. She won't do such a thing. How embarrassing it would be to bring her here! She's too shy. What should I do if something bad happens to her?"
