Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

The third aunt continued, "Huai Ru, all men are like this. I am your third aunt at this age, don't I know the little thoughts of these people? When they meet a beautiful woman, they can't even move their legs. When your third uncle was young, he was more extravagant than Li Weijun is now, but now he has been disciplined by me and has no bad thoughts, right?"

There is a bit of ridicule in the words of the third aunt, but more of it is the understanding of reality and the accumulation of experience. She knows that men can easily lose themselves when facing temptation, and women often need more wisdom and tenacity to deal with these situations. Although the words of the third aunt are a bit straightforward, they are out of concern for Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel touched when she heard what the third aunt said. She knew that the third aunt said this because she hoped that she could look at these issues more carefully.

Qin Huairu smiled and said to the third aunt: "Third aunt, I understand what you said. But I think everyone's situation is different.

The third aunt mentioned some interesting stories about her third uncle when he was young, which made Qin Huairu very curious. The third aunt smiled and said, "Your third uncle was really a romantic figure when he was young! At that time, he was a famous "playboy" in our courtyard. I remember one time, in order to pursue the daughter of the neighbor, he sang love songs in front of her door for a whole night, but his voice was hoarse the next day, and we all laughed at him for several days."

Qin Huairu listened with great interest. The third aunt continued, "Another time, in order to buy a bouquet of flowers for the girl he liked, he searched half of the city and finally found the last rose in a small flower shop. Your third uncle was really attentive at that time, but it is also because of this that we have the happy life we ​​have now."

Seeing that Qin Huairu seemed to be quite concerned about Li Weijun's affairs, the third aunt shook her head and said kindly: "Don't you know the story between Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan? Wang Baochuan is the daughter of the prime minister, a wealthy woman, but she married an ordinary beggar like Xue Pinggui.

"As a result, she stayed in the cold kiln for decades, while Xue Pinggui enjoyed a life of luxury and married the beautiful Princess of Dai. You see, all men are unfaithful and ungrateful. They all want to get promoted, get rich, and kill their wives."

The words of the third aunt made Qin Huairu feel mixed emotions. She knew that although the story told by the third aunt was fictional, there were many similar examples in real life. Although the third aunt's words were a bit extreme, they were also out of concern for Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu felt a little emotional when she heard what the third aunt said. She knew that the feelings between people were very complicated and sometimes difficult to summarize with simple truths. But she also understood that the third aunt said this because she was worried that she would be involved in this dispute.

Qin Huairu knew clearly that everything she did was out of concern for Li Weijun.

Qin Huairu smiled and said to the third aunt: "Third aunt, I understand what you said, but I think every matter has its own particularity."

"The story of Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan that you mentioned is widely circulated among the people, but it is fictional after all. People and things in reality are far more complicated than stories. I believe that as long as we all work together, we will be able to find a solution to the problem. Besides, Li Weijun is usually a good person, and I believe he would not do such a thing."

Although Qin Huairu's words were simple, they were full of reason and goodwill. She hoped that through her efforts, the dispute could be properly resolved, and she also hoped to protect Li Weijun from further harm. She believed that as long as everyone could sit down and talk, they would be able to find a solution to the problem.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but think of the story between Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan. In that story, Wang Baochuan gave up her status as the daughter of the prime minister for Xue Pinggui and was willing to follow him and live a poor life.

Wang Baochuan waited in the cold kiln for eighteen years, while Xue Pinggui fought for many years outside, and finally became the king of a country and married the princess of Dai. Although such a story is full of drama, in real life, few people can withstand such a long test.

Qin Huairu knows that real relationships are far more complicated than those in stories. She knows that every relationship has its own unique story, and everyone's choices and behaviors have their reasons. She hopes that through her efforts, she can make the residents of the courtyard understand this, not to jump to conclusions, but to be more understanding and tolerant.

At this moment, Qin Huairu strengthened her belief. She knew that as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to find a solution to the problem and restore the tranquility and harmony of the Siheyuan.

Jiang Xifeng was older after all, and after her initial annoyance, she looked at the aggressive Ji Xiaotao and the crowd gathered around to join in the fun, and she knew in her heart that this farce should come to an end.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Jiang Xifeng knew that such a dispute would not only fail to solve the problem, but would make the situation more awkward. She looked at Li Weijun and found that he also looked helpless. It was obvious that this dispute also made him feel very difficult.

Jiang Xifeng turned to look at Ji Xiaotao, her eyes showing both determination and helplessness. She knew that if she continued like this, not only would the atmosphere in the courtyard become tense, but it would also put Li Weijun in a more embarrassing situation.

Jiang Xifeng stood there, having already made up her mind - this endless dispute must come to an end. She coughed lightly, trying to interrupt Ji Xiaotao's endless questioning.

However, what she had not expected was that Ji Xiaotao was deeply influenced by her father and firmly believed in the principle of "strike while the iron is hot". At this moment, she was at the climax of the debate, so how could she be easily disturbed by such trivial details?

Ji Xiaotao's father once taught her: "Once you find an opportunity, you must seize it, just like striking iron while it is hot." This concept is deeply rooted in her mind. Whenever an argument comes, she is always eloquent, and it seems that no tiny details can distract her.

At this moment, she stared at Jiang Xifeng closely, not noticing the other party's attempt to interrupt her. Jiang Xifeng looked at the girl in front of her, and couldn't help but smile helplessly in her heart - she knew that if she didn't take more decisive measures, this dispute would probably continue for a long time.

Jiang Xifeng took a deep breath and decided to change her strategy. She slowly said, "Xiao Tao, I know you have a lot of questions, but now is not the best time to discuss them.

How about we calm down first and talk about it in detail later?" She tried to keep her tone calm, hoping to calm Ji Xiaotao's excitement and give both sides a chance to re-examine the issue.

Hearing this, Ji Xiaotao raised her head slightly like a victorious general, her willow-leaf eyebrows tightly knitted together, "Why? Are you looking for mercy and admit defeat because you are at a disadvantage? I tell you, it's too late. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, unless you admit your mistake in front of so many people, you will never set foot in the courtyard again!"

There was determination in her words, and it was clear that she was prepared not to give in.

Ji Xiaotao's words instantly made the atmosphere tense. Her eyes revealed an unquestionable determination, as if announcing to everyone that she would not give up easily.

Jiang Xifeng did not flinch in the face of such a challenge. She knew that if she compromised at this time, all her previous efforts would be wasted. Therefore, she decided to take a more proactive attitude to deal with this issue.

Jiang Xifeng took a deep breath and slowly said, "Xiao Tao, I know you care a lot about this matter, but I don't want to evade responsibility or admit defeat. I just think that arguing loudly here will not solve the problem. We are all adults, and we should learn to solve problems in a more mature way instead of fighting like children."

As soon as she finished speaking, the people around her began to whisper, and they were obviously interested in Jiang Xifeng's proposal. When Ji Xiaotao heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she was thinking whether Jiang Xifeng's words made sense. In the end, she nodded, although she was still a little unwilling, but she still agreed to Jiang Xifeng's suggestion.

Seeing this, Jiang Xifeng felt a little relieved. She knew that at least at this moment, they had found a temporary consensus. She continued, "Then, let's find a suitable time to sit down and have a good talk. I believe that as long as we are willing to listen to each other's ideas, we will definitely be able to find a solution to the problem."

Jiang Xifeng's tone was full of sincerity, which made it hard to refuse. Ji Xiaotao nodded and agreed. In this way, under the witness of everyone, the two reached a temporary reconciliation.

It has to be said that a good father will have a good daughter. Ji Guochun has been in the battlefields of war for most of his life, and he has passed on his courage and magnanimity to his daughter Ji Xiaotao.

Although he had compromised temporarily, he was still full of fighting spirit. He lowered his voice and said sarcastically, "You can't win the argument, but since you beg for mercy, I can show some leniency."

However, Jiang Xifeng was too lazy to continue paying attention to this fiery pepper that exploded at the slightest touch. She raised her eyes to glance at Li Weijun who was standing next to her with a helpless look on his face, and suddenly said something to Ji Xiaotao.

"You are really embarrassing your old Ji family. I am going back to Shanghai. I don't want to chat with you. Li Weijun, please come into the house with me first. I have something to tell you."

"Hey! What does it have to do with you if our old Ji family loses face? I think you are at your wit's end and you are meddling in other people's business, right? Oh, that's not right..."

Seeing that Jiang Xifeng could actually tell her background in one sentence, even the usually thick-skinned Ji Xiaotao sensed that something was wrong. She calmed down a little and noticed Aunt Zhao who was almost blending into the crowd.

Although he was slightly different from the graceful and amiable image in my impression, he was wearing a plain white dress with a pair of embroidered cloth shoes, and his frown showed helplessness. Although his elegance and intelligence were slightly different from those in the Shanghai compound, he still showed his good taste.

Ji Xiaotao was thinking about what was wrong, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat: "Oh no, isn't this Aunt Zhao from Uncle Jiang's family? Why did she follow me to the capital? Jiang Xifeng, Jiang Xifeng, could it be that this is the only daughter of Uncle Jiang's family..."

A series of thoughts flashed through Ji Xiaotao's mind. She remembered clearly that Uncle Jiang had a relative named Aunt Zhao, who did not usually live in the capital.

Ji Xiaotao couldn't help but wonder: Why did Aunt Zhao appear here? Could it be that Jiang Xifeng in front of her was the only daughter of Uncle Jiang whom she hadn't seen for a long time?

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaotao was surprised. She recalled that she had met Jiang Xifeng once when she was a child, when Jiang Xifeng was just a child.

Now, more than a decade has passed, and she has grown into an independent woman. Ji Xiaotao wondered in her heart, if Jiang Xifeng is really Uncle Jiang's daughter, then were her previous words and deeds too impulsive?

After all, his father Ji Guochun is still under the Jiang family. There is still a world of difference between the identity of the chief of staff and the identity of the leader. Apart from anything else, the chief of staff is more like a staff think tank, who is only responsible for proposing some combat plans and programs, but the commander of the military region is the absolute top leader who is in charge of everything.

The amount of energy is far beyond what a chief of staff can match.

Ji Xiaotao showed a slightly embarrassed expression on her face. She realized that her attitude just now might be a little too tough. After all, if Jiang Xifeng was really Uncle Jiang's daughter, then the relationship between them was far more complicated than she imagined.

As this surprising guess kept echoing in her mind, Ji Xiaotao felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, and the name Jiang Xifeng gradually became clear in her mind.

It's normal to say. Shanghai is such a big city, and they are all children of big courtyards. It's normal for them to interact and socialize with each other.

Jiang Xifeng is definitely a legendary figure in Shanghai circles. Not only is she extremely beautiful, but her father is also one of the most ruthless characters in Shanghai. In addition, she herself is highly educated. Although her personality is a bit cold and arrogant, it does not prevent her from having many suitors.

I remember that a few years ago there was a rumor that twenty or thirty people took turns to go to the Jiang family to propose marriage, but without exception, they all returned empty-handed.

What was even more surprising was that this popular and favored daughter of heaven, although she finally married the son of an ordinary guard quietly, she quickly moved to the capital and was only mentioned a few times during the holidays when people in the circle had extracurricular activities.

Now it seems that Jiang Xifeng should be the legendary figure that she has heard of many times. However, Ji Xiaotao is puzzled as to how she is related to Li Weijun. This is really strange.
