Chapter 422 The Guo Family’s Idea
But now Aunt Deng came and told her these things. There must be the tacit approval of those people behind this.
Perhaps, her caution during this period was noticed by those people, and the medicinal food and tonics did not have the effect they wanted, so they tacitly allowed Aunt Deng to come and provoke her?
Aunt Deng, who was standing by, saw that she hadn't spoken for a long time, so she said, "Sister Qu, although marrying along is an old custom left over from the previous dynasty, it does have certain benefits. In addition to stabilizing the family's status, if they give birth to illegitimate children in the future, it will also be helpful to you. You also know that the doctor said that you have a cold constitution, and I'm afraid..."
Aunt Deng paused at this point, her meaning clear to everyone. She studied Si He's expression for a moment before continuing, "Actually, many wealthy families now follow this custom, not just the Guo family. This further illustrates the importance of this marriage. Look, even the third wife's daughter is marrying you off. I'm afraid there's not another family in the world that would do this. This is such an honor! I'm happy for you."
Aunt Deng spoke for a while, but seeing that Si He still had a cold face and didn't say a word, she understood her mood at the moment. After all, a girl who hadn't even married yet was arranged to be a concubine would definitely be unhappy. She tried to comfort her, "Sister Qu, I know you're unhappy, but in this wealthy family, there are many things you can't help. In fact, your current situation is very good. After you marry, you will be the wife, and they will only be concubines, always inferior to you. Look at your mother's situation in the Guo family, and you will know how difficult it is to be a concubine. The power of the housekeeper is in the hands of the mistress."
As she spoke, she sighed heavily again, her face full of grievance and sadness, but Si He's gaze never fell on her face. Although her expression was not so cold at this time, it returned to its previous indifferent look, unmoved.
Aunt Deng pursed her lips and returned to the previous topic, saying, "Sister Qu, the fact that you'll marry along with your parents is irreversible. When we were discussing the marriage, the Yue family also agreed. However, the candidates have already been chosen, so it's not easy to change or add to them. I suggested to the old lady that we add Sister Yan, but she disagreed, saying it was too many people. So I want you to talk to her. Perhaps she will listen to your opinion, even if it means changing someone else, as long as Sister Yan is included."
As she spoke, Aunt Deng began to cry, "Sister Qu, you don't know, if Sister Yan can't marry with you this time, she will be arranged to marry someone else. How can the marriage arranged by the eldest lady be considered a good one? It's like pushing someone into the fire pit! Sister Yan is your biological sister, you can't just watch your biological sister jump into the fire pit! Wuuwuwu..."
Si He put down the cup in her hand and looked at Aunt Deng, "Are you done?"
Aunt Deng stopped crying immediately when she saw her cold eyes. She was about to speak when she heard her say something else.
"Get lost after you finish talking about it! Don't think I'll plead for you. Also, don't even think about this anymore. Other marriages might be a hell of a place, but mine is a sea of fire and a mountain of swords!"
When she said this, there was a fierceness in her voice and murderous intent in her eyes. Both mother and daughter were frightened for a moment and said nothing.
In the end, the two left in disgrace.
Si He sat at the table, looking at the dark sky outside, thinking quietly.
In fact, before getting married, she didn't want anything bad to happen, especially when the wedding date was approaching, so she temporarily tolerated the little tricks that those people had done in secret.
But they really challenged her bottom line again and again!
She casually turned the cup lightly. In fact, it was easy to deal with this family, but she didn't want to implicate herself. After all, she was a member of the Guo family now. If anything happened to the Guo family, she would be affected more or less. She wanted to get married smoothly.
After she thought about it, all the thoughts in her mind temporarily stopped.
She had underestimated the Guo family's ambition. The marriage was already decided. Perhaps it was difficult for her to change it, but if she dared to snatch things from her, or even her life...
The murderous intent in her eyes grew stronger, and the next moment, the already fragile cup in her hand suddenly broke with a 'bang' sound.
At the same time, the broken pieces of the cup pierced her finger, and a few drops of blood flowed out and dripped onto the table.
If you look closely, you can see a faint gray-black aura in the blood.
Si He took a deep breath and suppressed the evil energy surging in her body. Then, the gray-black energy in her blood also returned to her body.
At this time, Gao You and Gao Zi ran in quickly and saw her holding a broken cup with a cold face and blood dripping from her fingertips.
"Miss!"
Si He then threw the cup on the table and said, "Nothing."
She looked at the wound in her hand calmly, took out a handkerchief, wiped it, and then bandaged it casually.
"Miss, let me bandage you." Gao Zi said, taking out a bottle of medicine he carried with him.
Seeing this, Si He extended her hand.
Gao Zi quickly treated her wound, while Gao You cleaned up the broken pieces on the table and the cup.
When Gao Zi touched Si He's hand, the icy temperature made her pause. The hand was too cold, as cold as a dead person's hand, without any temperature at all.
She looked up at Si He's face and after a closer look, she found that her face was indeed a little pale. "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
Si He responded calmly, "It's okay, it will be fine in a while."
Seeing her say this, Gao Zizhi also treated her wound first.
However, when Gao Zi was bandaging her, he also discovered that her blood was darker than that of an ordinary person, a little black, which was the normal bright red color.
There's something wrong with this blood.
Gao You, who was standing by, also discovered this problem. At the same time, she noticed that after wiping off the blood stains on the table, there were still a few faint marks left on the table. It was not that she could not wipe them clean, but that the marks seemed to have been eroded by blood, leaving a drop-shaped shape. Although the marks were very faint, they could not be wiped off.
The two of them were silent, not saying anything, just concentrating on their work.
After the wound was bandaged, someone came in again and the maid said that the old lady asked her to come over.
Si He stood up, took Gao You and Gao Zi, and followed the maid to Fuhe Hall, the courtyard where the old lady lived.
The weather was still gloomy at this time. Although there was a cool breeze, there was no sign of rain for a long time. However, Gao You asked the maid who accompanied her to bring an umbrella just in case.
When Si He arrived at Fuhe Hall, she saw that it was full of people, and almost all the people from the three families were there.
Si He suddenly realized that it seemed to be so lively every time she came.
She glanced at him calmly, then walked into the hall and politely bowed to the old lady, "Granddaughter greets grandmother."
Then she bowed slightly to the others.
The old lady nodded and said, "Sister Qu, I heard that you haven't taken any tonic medicine these days?"
