Misunderstand?

how can that be possible.

Xue Jing answered decisively, "Of course she knows."

Ever since she met Xirui in the restaurant last time, her sister-in-law had been upset for some reason.

Not only did she repeatedly hint at it in front of him and his father, she also paid special attention to his itinerary when he was away.

[I told the stable last night that I would send you off this morning, so she would know about it.]

Ever since Zhou entered the Xue family, it didn't take long for her and the people she brought with her to control everything in the house.

There is nothing she doesn't know.

She even brought up her father specifically, who knows whose idea it was.

Xue Jing couldn't help but curl his lips, his dissatisfaction reaching an unprecedented high.

[She has been bringing up some nonsense since early on, saying that Chen Xueniang and I have been childhood sweethearts and we are not young anymore, so it would be best to find a time to settle down.]

[This time she didn't even bother to hide it, and directly stood in front of me. Who knows what she was thinking. ]

Xue Jing listed one by one the unusual things that Zhou had done in the past few days.

He always had a feeling that Zhou seemed like a different person since she met Xirui, and he didn't know what had stimulated her.

Xirui listened quietly, unable to express any opinion for a moment.

There is really too little known information, and she doesn't know Xue Jing's sister-in-law well enough to make a direct conclusion.

All he could do was to persuade Xue Jing to calm down. [When will your grandfather come home? If that doesn't work, you can stay with him for a few days first.]

The main reason is that he is a brother-in-law, and it is always inconvenient for him to deal with his sister-in-law.

The fleet going out to sea is at a critical juncture and cannot be without people.

If Xue Jing were to go out to do something in the future and was stopped by Zhou again, it would be bad if he missed his business.

[That's fine, then I won't go home for the time being.] Anyway, his grandfather lives in a farm outside the city.

It’s not very far. At worst he can just run a few more miles back and forth every day.

My sister-in-law is the manager of the household now, my father has never been involved in any affairs, and my eldest brother is often not at home.

It's not easy for him to confront his sister-in-law all the time, so can't he just hide away?

As for what Zhou had said before, that Lord Zhou wanted to discuss something with him, Xue Jing had already labeled it as doubtful and selectively ignored it.

He didn't think that Lord Zhou had anything important to ask him.

They were born in the imperial examination system and have stepped into the officialdom. They have always looked down on these businessmen who are full of money.

How could someone suddenly need to find him for something?

The reason that Zhou used as a banner is more convincing.

In this way, Xue Jing temporarily suppressed the grievances and dissatisfaction in his heart.

After saying goodbye to Xirui, I continued walking along the official road.

He was going to find his grandfather.

If the eldest sister-in-law really wants to take advantage of him, at the moment, grandfather is the only one in the family who can help him.

The master and servant spurred their horses and soon arrived in front of the village.

"Erdong, go home first and tell Dadong to pack some clothes for me." Xue Jing didn't let Erdong go in with him, but gave this instruction.

Erdong saw that his own farm was not far ahead. He nodded and thought there was no need to worry about no one following his master. Then he changed direction and galloped along the way he came.

Xue Jing's arrival made Xue Xiong, who lived in the manor, both surprised and happy.

What surprised him was that he didn't expect this kid to suddenly appear, but what made him happy was that he hadn't seen this kid for a long time, and now he suddenly saw him, so he was naturally very happy.

Xue Xiong held his grandson in one hand and hurriedly led him into the house, "Why did you come here so suddenly? Why didn't you let anyone know in advance? I could have asked someone to cook your favorite dishes."

It was almost time for lunch, but the kitchen at the farm did not receive the news in advance.

The food served was light and easy to digest.

It's not quite to Xue Jing's taste.

But he's not picky.

He hadn't explained the situation in advance, so it was no wonder that others said, "You're used to eating heavy food, so it's okay to change your taste occasionally. Besides, it's rare for me to have such a meal with you."

Normally, even if the grandparents and grandchildren dine together, they would always order two different dishes.

Xue Jing had indeed rarely eaten the dishes in front of him, but he found them quite fresh when he ate them occasionally.

He had no intention of complaining right away.

I ended up happily accompanying Xue Xiong to finish lunch.

Then, when the grandfather and grandson were walking around in the yard to digest their food, she responded to Xue Xiong's question and told him what she was thinking. "My sister-in-law might be bored, so she thought of matchmaking. She said that my age is similar to that of the girl from Uncle Xin's family, so we should choose a date as soon as possible to get married."

"But you also know, Grandfather, that I don't have such thoughts about Miss Chen."

In front of his grandfather, Xue Jing could still complain like a child.

Xue Xiong understood his thoughts very well.

"I have also met the girl from the Chen family once or twice. She is well-educated, dignified and steady. Although she is a concubine's daughter and her father does not hold an official position, she is a good match for our Xue family."

They are all merchants. The Chen family has a strong backer, and the Xue family is not doing well either.

Although Xue Xiong knew his grandson's intentions, since things had come to this point, he had to confirm with him again, "You really don't like it?"

Xue Jing nodded his head rapidly, "Of course I take it seriously."

From the beginning to the end, he only liked that one person.

"I'm really not familiar with Miss Chen." He also felt wronged.

In today's world, boys and girls sit at different tables after the age of seven.

He and Chen Xuenniang would only meet at Chen's house very occasionally, and would soon separate.

The idea of ​​childhood sweethearts is extremely shallow.

It's not true.

Seeing that he really didn't want to have anything to do with him, Xue Xiong slowly said in a serious tone, "In that case, I will have someone tell your sister-in-law not to mention this matter again, so as not to damage Miss Chen's reputation."

"But you are already an adult now. Since you have no interest in Miss Chen, have you met any other destined person?"

The Xue family today is different from before and is no longer in such a precarious situation. So the old man has nothing to worry about.

The only thing that still worries me is my little grandson.

"You have worked so hard for the family over the years that you have neglected yourself. Grandfather has seen it all and remembers it in his heart."

"It's certainly wrong for your sister-in-law to insist on matching you with Miss Chen, but grandfather also hopes to see you get married as soon as possible."

In Xue Xiong's eyes, his little grandson has been precocious since childhood, and he has long been accustomed to discussing things directly with him.

It is still the same now when it comes to his marriage.

He won't force it, but he can't help but get anxious.
