When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

"well!?"

Wu was surprised. She had reached such a situation, why was she still acting like a lady from a wealthy family?

You know, her husband is now a government official, well-known and has a bright future.

Wu Minmei is a bird that is not even a fallen phoenix, how can she still be so arrogant now! From childhood to adulthood, what is her basis? Now that she has lost her husband, what confidence does she have!

"Sister, being reserved is not enough to make a living. If you are interested but just can't bring yourself to do it, I can talk to you. We are sisters, there is no need to be so formal!

Not everyone has the chance to marry the daughter of our Xu family."

Wu Minmei was so angry that she could only breathe heavily. Her complexion, which was not very good to begin with, looked even paler now.

"Wu Yixian, I don't agree with this. You should find another good son-in-law. Our family temple is small and cannot match the big Buddha in your Xu Mansion."

As he said that, he opened the door and asked Wu to leave on her own. Wu was so angry that she stamped her feet: "You really are..."

Just as I was about to put down my pride and curse at him for being ungrateful, I heard a conversation between a man and a woman at the door:

"Brother, it's okay. It's okay if it's a little more expensive. It's not like our family can't afford it right now. Didn't you write a lot of policy papers a few days ago?

As for me, I will make more handkerchiefs and embroidery, so you don’t have to worry about Shu Xiu.”

A man and a woman walked in and met Mrs. Wu face to face.

Wu was stunned: "This is..."

Wu Minmei slowed down and took a step forward: "Amo, Ayu, you are back."

Wu looked him up and down unconsciously. Although the young man was wearing a coarse cloth gown, it still couldn't hide his elegant demeanor and appearance. He was graceful and graceful, and his face was quite extraordinary.

"You are the kid from that year..."

Now it has grown so big.

"My junior is Qi Mobai, and this is my younger sister Qi Maiyu. May I know who you are?"

Qi Mobai then noticed Wu who was standing aside. He greeted her politely and indifferently.

Turning to look at Wu Minmei, he found that she didn't look well, and hurried forward to help her: "Mom, you are just feeling better, go back and rest first."

Wu Minmei only said: "This is your aunt."

Wu Minmei just gave a dry introduction and nothing else.

Mrs. Wu was a little dissatisfied: "I am your biological sister. I haven't seen my nephew for a long time. I prepared some small gifts for you."

The maid standing beside her brought out an exquisite gold-plated box. When Wu opened it, a faint scent of ink wafted into her nose.

She introduced it with a hint of arrogance: "I know you are a scholar. This is the finest blue paper, the finest Hui ink, and..."

Qi Mobai just glanced at the box, then looked at Wu Minmei, only to see her shaking her head slightly.

I understood what my mother meant.

"No merit, no reward. Besides, my family has no shortage of writing materials. I accept this as a token of my appreciation. I hope you can take these back with you."

After saying that, she helped her mother back to the house to rest. Qi Maiyu didn't know what her brother's mother was planning. She bowed to the aunt who suddenly appeared in confusion and followed her.

Wu had been frustrated since she arrived, and she was full of resentment. Finally, she couldn't help herself:

"You are just a poor woman, but you still act like a lady from a rich family. The daughters of our Xu family are people that others cannot get close to. I am giving you face today and hope that you can find a good match. Is this how you treat me?

You are not happy about it, have you asked your son if he is not happy about it too?"

Even if Qi Mobai didn't understand the whole thing, he could roughly guess what was going on, as to the marriage, the daughter of the Xu family, and the fact that he was the only man here.

Looking at this aunt who is swearing like a shrew, I think my mother doesn't want to have anything to do with this kind of person.

Qi Mobai looked at her coldly, "I think my mother's decision has been made clear to you. My mother's decision also represents my decision. I have no chance to be with your family. I hope to find another good son-in-law.

Take it slow. "

"That's right, no matter who you are, Xu Xinyue or Xu Manyue, our Qi family can't afford it!"

Qi Mobai's mind went blank when he heard this: Mother was talking about...Xu Xinyue? The...young lady of the Xu family, Xu Xinyue! ?

His throat suddenly choked and he couldn't refute a single word.

Is it... that Xu Xinyue?

"Huff."

Xu Xinyue, who was thousands of miles away, seemed to sense something and sneezed a little.

"Did Yueyue catch a cold?"

"No, no, it must be that Daddy misses me." Xu Xinyue explained hurriedly.

Qin Yuechuan tightened the velvet cloak on Xu Xinyue's body. His lips were pursed into a line, and he seemed to be quite disapproving: "Let's do as I said at the beginning. Let's go slowly and have something good to eat when we get to the next post station."

Qin Yuechuan had just come out of the post station after eating and drinking, and had just arrived here yesterday. He had originally planned to rest for a day or two before setting off again, but unexpectedly Xu Xinyue insisted on leaving the next day.

He stroked Xu Xinyue's small face with his fingertips, and felt as if she had become thinner.

"No." Xu Xinyue put her hand on his wrist and looked up at him: "My bookstore is still waiting for me, and I don't know what the current situation is."

"Alas, the bookstore is not as important as Yueyue's health."

"Qin Yuechuan, let's hurry up and get to Kyoto soon so that we can eat good food sooner.

Then we can go to Taotie Pavilion to eat Eight Treasure Duck and Jade Dew Cake..."

Qin Yuechuan was helpless. What else could he do but agree?

"Okay, let's go. Can we go to the next town and buy some thicker cloaks?"

"Yeah, okay."

Xu Xinyue smiled sweetly, grabbed his hand, and hurriedly dragged him towards the carriage: "Hurry up, hurry up."

Qin Yuechuan helped her onto the carriage and ordered Qingyang to set off immediately and rush to the next town.

The moon is above the treetops, accompanied by scattered stars, and the silent night seems even colder and more lonely.

"Amo."

Wu Minmei saw Qi Mobai still in the courtyard, and she looked up at the waning moon in the sky, feeling puzzled. Ever since he had dismissed her sister with cold words, Qi Mobai seemed to be troubled.

He has been standing here for quite a while.

She then looked up at the sky. There was nothing but a waning moon. It was not a festival, nor was it a full moon. What was so good about this moon?

"Mother."

Qi Mobai retracted his gaze and turned to face Wu Minmei. Under the pitch-black night scene, only the cold glow of the moonlight was reflected on Qi Mobai's face. Wu Minmei didn't know if she had seen it wrong, but she actually saw a trace of disappointment on the face of her usually indifferent son.

"Are you still worried about your aunt's visit today? Don't worry, mother—"

"No, mother, I, actually I——"

Qi Mobai rarely hesitated, and Wu Minmei realized something: "Could it be that you want to marry into the Xu family? Do you want to marry that Xu Xinyue?"

Qi Mobai remained silent for a long time without answering. He sighed softly, "I don't want to marry into the Xu family, but, I——"

He couldn't say it. How could he be qualified to say the word "marry" now?

Wu Minmei was even more confused: "What do you mean?"

Qi Mobai helped Wu Minmei sit down, and he lifted his robe and sat beside her: "Mother, do you remember that I once said that it was because of the help of my benefactor that I now have a little reputation, can take on more bookstore work, and earn more money?"

Wu Minmei nodded: "Mom remembers."

Looking at her son's eyes, Wu Minmei was also a sensitive and insightful person. After a little thought, she thought of something, opened her eyes slightly, and asked:

"Could it be that the benefactor is Xu Xinyue?"
