Chapter 173 Mission 016

"What did you say?" Xiao Yu, who thought he was safe after calming Wang Nianyun down, suddenly received the news that Shao's mother actually went to Li's house to bring Su Ling back. He was really shocked.

During these days, he had been simulating how to write policy papers and how to do the most disgusting tower-cutting question in the imperial examination. He didn't pay much attention to the movements of Shao's father and Shao's mother. The result was such a surprise for him...

Shao's father, who came to inform him, didn't understand the shock and worry in Xiao Yu's heart at all, and thought he was simply surprised because of Su Ling's pregnancy. He happily touched his mustache and said, "How are you? Are you happy? You are going to be a father soon!"

Xiao Yu walked out with a solemn expression and sighed heavily: "Mom, you shouldn't have done this!"

He could understand the older couple's desire to have a grandchild, but how could they do something like bringing their ex-wife back to give birth so casually? Didn't this make Wang Nianyun, whom he had just comforted, turn dark?

Father Shao finally noticed something was wrong with his son's face, and quickly followed him out, asking worriedly: "Qingyun, what's wrong? What did your mother do wrong?"

Xiao Yu said as he walked: "Father, mother should not have brought Su Ling back. Even if she wanted a child, she could have waited until the child was born and just brought the child back. How do you want me to explain to Nian Yun like this?"

Shao's father didn't understand the relationship between the young couple, so he said very chauvinistically: "What's the point? You, the husband, don't have to explain to her little wife!" Although their family treated Wang Nianyun very much because of her They were polite, but from the bottom of their hearts they believed that she belonged to Shao Qingyun. In their opinion, as long as Wang Nianyun was still the daughter-in-law of their Shao family, they couldn't say anything even if they were unhappy.

Xiao Yu felt helpless at the idea of ​​a cheap parent like him who wanted to beg other people and act like a big name, but he still went back to his room to coax his wife. No matter what, he still has to rely on Wang Nianyun's travel expenses to go to Fucheng for the provincial examination in more than three months. He can't hurt others while taking advantage of him, right? It's a pity that the time given to him is too short. If the provincial examination is later, he can find a way to improve the economic conditions of the Shao family without doing business.

The ancient dynasties in this world had particularly strict control over businessmen, because the founding emperor of this dynasty started out as a wealthy merchant during the chaotic times at the end of the dynasty, recruiting troops and horses to mobilize a group of people on the road to rebellion, and finally succeeded in taking the throne and changing dynasties. Therefore, in order to prevent people from following his old path and rebelling against the dynasty he established, the founding emperor was very harsh on businessmen.

Business taxes were very high, suppressing the social status of businessmen. If a businessman wants to do business and make money, he must be registered as a merchant. Even if a person is registered as a merchant, he cannot dress too rich outside, otherwise it will be a serious crime. The wives and children of people with business registration are also registered together. A daughter will automatically leave the business registration if she marries without marrying a merchant. However, if a son wants to leave the business registration, he must study for the imperial examination. Once he studies for the imperial examination, he must give up doing business, otherwise he will be dismissed. If found out, it would be tantamount to cheating.

Xiao Yu plans to take the imperial examination and become an official in the future. Naturally, he cannot do business for money, otherwise he will destroy his future. No matter how covert he is, if he becomes more and more powerful in the future, there will definitely be political opponents who want to take advantage of him. He does not think that what he is doing at this time can be concealed.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Xiao Yu just pushed open the door of his new house, and before he could step in, a teacup flew out from his face. He subconsciously reached out to catch it, and accurately held the teacup in his hand that was supposed to fly out the door and break into pieces. inside.

This miraculous scene made the people in the room who were throwing teacups and getting angry were stunned for a moment. Then they reacted and threw all the small objects they could reach towards Xiao Yu.

How could it be possible for Xiao Yu to be defeated by an attack of this level? He easily caught all the things Wang Nianyun threw at him, then walked over and put back all the small things in his arms as they were.

He sat next to Wang Nianyun, who had been able to control his emotions, looked at her gently, and said a little cautiously: "Are you still angry? My mother didn't think about this well. She was thinking about the child, so she didn't think about it. your feelings."

Wang Nianyun said with a bad temper: "Then let that woman stay?"

Of course, Xiao Yu couldn't let Su Ling stay in the Shao family. If he did, it would be the source of chaos for the family. He didn't think that the reborn heroine would not harbor hatred and want to take revenge on him.

"After the child is born, I will ask my mother to send Su Ling away." It is better for the heroine to fall in love with the hero, and he does not want to get involved this time.

This guarantee made Wang Nianyun feel relieved. In fact, what she was most afraid of was that her husband would keep the woman Su Ling. It was not that she could not tolerate a concubine, but she was worried that Su Ling, as her husband's cousin, would give birth to another child for her husband. She has a child, and she has just been married not long ago, so her position in her husband's heart will be threatened.

Xiao Yu's good attitude gave Wang Nianyun more thoughts, and he couldn't help but say: "That child..."

Xiao Yu glanced at her and understood that she didn't want to keep this child, but he felt that it would be better for this child who had an extremely tragic fate in the original work to stay in the Shao family. At least he would be watching and would not follow the accident-prone child. The heroine, who had a strong constitution, died in an accident.

So Xiao Yu said firmly: "The child, regardless of gender, is my flesh and blood, so he will naturally stay in the Shao family."

Wang Nianyun said anxiously: "But the child is too young to be separated from his mother, but Su Ling will definitely leave, so why not let the child stay with his mother..."

Xiao Yu interrupted her dissatisfiedly: "Okay, that's it. The children from the countryside are thick-skinned and not so delicate. They just need to be weaned early!" After saying that, he stood up to leave, "I'll go to my mother's place to have a look. "

Wang Nianyun looked at Xiao Yu's leaving figure. The handkerchief in her hand was torn out of shape by her, and the expression on his face changed. Obviously, her husband's attitude of leaving in a hurry just now was because he was dissatisfied with her pushy behavior. Originally, she really just thought that it would be good if she could get rid of Su Ling, but later seeing that Xiao Yu's attitude was so good and so accommodating to her, it was inevitable that she would Even so, she still felt aggrieved when she saw her husband, who had carefully explained to her and coaxed her before, stood up and left without mercy.

At this time, Qiu Ju, who had been standing by her side, lowered her voice and said to her: "Miss, you are too anxious. Even if you don't like that woman's child, you can't show it in front of my uncle. We have a long way to go, and there will always be opportunities. …”

Qiu Ju's voice became smaller and smaller, and the last words were not even uttered. This made Wang Nianyun couldn't help but frown: "What do you mean by this? If I don't get rid of that little bastard now, my child will be born in the future." What should I do? The eldest son of a concubine is taking precedence over his legitimate son?" She couldn't help but think of the difference between her mother and Aunt Liu who gave birth to a concubine, and she hated Su Ling even more.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

At this time, Xiao Yu, who was standing outside the door, listened expressionlessly to the conversation between Wang Nianyun and Qiu Ju's master and servant in the room. When he said he was leaving just now, he actually calmed down and listened silently to the movement in the room.

After hearing this conversation, Xiao Yu understood Wang Nianyun a little better.

The current Wang Nianyun is not as vicious as in the original work. Although she hates Su Ling and her daughter, she just wants to drive them away and has not thought about murdering them. He felt that it was probably because Wang Nianyun was not favored by Mrs. Wang in the Wang family, so she had never learned the secrets between women in the back house. She was relatively innocent, and the reason she disliked Su Ling and her daughter was because of the situation in the back house in her natal family. resulting in instinctive reactions.

On the other hand, the Qiu Ju next to her might be a good house fighter. Although Qiu Ju just said to Wang Nianyun, although she didn't finish it, Xiao Yu could basically guess it. With such a maid at his side who instigates his master to do evil, and with external reasons, how could Wang Nianyun not turn evil?

Xiao Yu did not disturb the two people in the room. He left quietly, but in fact, he had already begun to think about how to take Qiu Ju for his own use or transfer him away from Wang Nianyun.

Xiao Yu came to a small private room that Shao's mother had specially packed for Su Ling. Through the closed window, she saw Su Ling sitting on the edge of the bed with a cold face. Shao's mother was standing in front of her with a bowl of chicken soup. Advise her to drink it.

Su Ling looked coldly at Mother Shao's caring gesture and hummed: "Let me go quickly! This child belongs to me, not your Shao family. Shao Qingyun and I have already reconciled!"

How could Su Ling be willing to come back after escaping from the devil's cave of the Shao family? She will never forget the scene where she and her daughter died tragically in the Shao family's woodshed in her previous life. God will give her a chance to do it again in this life. She must take her daughter away from the Shao family and never fall into this devil's cave again! As for revenge on the Shao family, when she is able, she will definitely not let the Shao family go!

Xiao Yu stood at the door and glanced inside through the gap in the window edge, but had no intention of walking in.

In this world, the person who knows the original owner Shao Qingyun best is Su Ling.

The original owner, Shao Qingyun, only liked one woman, Su Ling, and the two grew up as childhood sweethearts. Shao Qingyun did not dare to tell his parents many things and thoughts, but he told Su Ling. In front of Shao's father and Shao's mother, Shao Qingyun is a filial and smart good boy. Xiao Yu is not worried that he can't play this role well, but in front of Su Ling, Shao Qingyun is much more real, and this woman is still his enemy. ’, so Xiao Yu can’t see her without seeing her at present.
