Good Things Come to Those Who Wait Chapter 113: Heartache (Pink Tickets 260 + Extra Update)

  Although I don't dare to agree with Xiao Xiao's point of view, seeing his complacent appearance, Shen Muqing couldn't help but ask: "What did you discover?"

  "What's it to you?"

  "This shows that even someone like Yan Gong who has no sense of shame cannot become a Grand Councilor."

  Shen Mu Qing couldn't help but laugh quietly: "Is this really true? I haven't studied it!"

  Shen Muqing's smile was as bright as a flower, and Xiao Xiao's words became even more convincing: "Not only that, but I also found that the people who have been promoted to the left and right Yu Shi of the Ducha Yuan are also very good at judging the situation. For example, the current Ducha Yuan Yu Shi Zhao Fu, this person has only impeached one person since entering the Ducha Yuan, which is the original Grand Secretary Dong An. Zhao Fu got the name of a loyal minister for this reason. However, I found that the facts are not as everyone said, at that time Dong An had repeatedly disobeyed the Empress Dowager's will, and the Empress Dowager had even sent an official to ask about his crimes, and was very dissatisfied with him at that time, eager to find an excuse to dismiss him."

  Two people stood on either side of a curtain and started talking.

  Looking at the Xiao Sa in front of her who was still as lively and carefree as a child, Shen Muqing's smile gradually faded away, and a hint of emotion slowly appeared in her eyes.

  From the red-clothed young man who couldn't bear to hear dissenting words, to the present bold and meticulous number one scholar, Xiao Sa, he has grown up, but even so, he can still feel that pride flowing in his blood.

  "Isn't it boring!" Feeling Shen Muqing's silence, (16xs mobile station ap. 16χs.○М) Xiao Xiao suddenly stopped and said listlessly, "I think Yiguxiang can be both past and present."

  Shen Mu Qing saw his dejected look and knew that her attitude had hurt him.

  She said with a straight face: "Xiao Xiao, thank you!"

  He stared at her in shock and amazement.

  "Thank you for everything you've done for me," Shen Muqing's smile was filled with gratitude. "Choosing to believe in me when we met at the Medicine King Temple, and coming to help me without hesitation when something happened to the Shen family, Xiang Ye, thank you for everything."

  Xiao Xiao's eyes flashed with a hint of discomfort, and her ears suddenly turned bright red.

  He casually waved his hand back: "Oh well, forget it. Didn't you also run to Bai Shu Hutong to persuade me? Let's just call it even!"

  Is it even? Compared to myself, Xiao Xiao has paid more!

  Shen Mu Qing couldn't help but smile slightly, and a face that was both lovely and angry appeared in his mind.

  "How's my second sister?"

  She asked very sincerely.

  Anyway, she is the one Xiao Sa likes.

  "Oh!" Xiao Sa's brow furrowed upon hearing Shen Muqing mention Second Sister, "I had her follow Eldest Madam back to Lincheng."

  "Followed the madam back to Lincheng?"

  Isn't it going well between the two of them? Or is there some kind of conflict?

  Xiao Xiao nodded and said with a complaining tone: "Consider me unlucky, I got involved in this messy affair. You don't know, that Xu San, he didn't have the ability to sell his wife, but after selling her, he regretted it and came to my house every day to make trouble. I was annoyed, so I had someone beat him up badly and also threw a few silver coins at him. Now he's honest and doesn't come looking for me anymore, instead he goes to find Tu Xiao Yue."

  "How could this be?" Shen Muqing exclaimed, "How did Second Sister end up with someone like him?"

  "Exactly!" Xiao Sa's eyebrows were tightly knotted. "To say, Second Sister is also a clever and capable person. But having gotten stuck with someone like that, what can you do?"

  Shen Muqing suddenly thought of Liang Jieming.

  Yes, it's like this, most women just accept their fate when they end up with such a man.

  For example, Wang Wenxu!

  In some sense, everyone is the same.

  "What did Xiaoye say?" Her voice was somewhat despondent.

  I hope this only brother of Er Jie will help her at a critical moment.

  "You're right, no wonder Xiaohe served Zeng Ju for so many years and didn't even have a place to settle down. Xiaoxiao was furious, "Xu San pestered him, he ran to me and said: those 500 taels of silver can be considered as my debt to you, let Erjie and Xu San go back home? After all, the two of them are husband and wife!"

  Shen Mu Qing was stunned and left speechless.

  In her heart, she secretly sighed.

  Most people would compromise like this!

  "I thought about it and decided to just admit defeat, since they were mutually in love. I figured the 500 taels of silver I spent was all for nothing! Xiaoxiao's tone was quite annoyed, "Who knew that second sister wouldn't agree either? She cried every day in front of me, saying that if I sent her out this door, she would hang herself at the ancestral tomb of the Tu family. When Tu Xiao heard this, his attitude changed again and he begged me to keep second sister."

  "This, this is all what time?"

  "It happened in mid-October last year."

  It was before she met him at Wanbaozhai!

  Is it because of this reason that Second Sister decided to follow Xiao Sa?

  Shen Mu's face darkened and he fell silent.

  Seeing Shen Muqing's silence, Xiao Sa looked at her helplessly and said, "You also think this isn't a big deal, right?"

  Shen Muqing nodded in understanding of Er Jie's actions. She smiled and said: "She can follow you, it's also a kind of reliance."

  "So when Madam came to see me, I had her take her back to Lincheng."

  It's alright, after all, privately kept songstresses and maidservants by one's mother are as different as heaven and earth.

  She has suffered, she should cherish such an opportunity!

  Shen Mu Qing suddenly remembered what Bao Liang had said. She asked curiously: "Are you from the main house?"

  Xiao Xiao nodded: "The big wife is my biological mother. I was adopted by Fourth Uncle when I was two years old - that's why I changed my surname at the time, and now it's also a habit!"

  "Shen Mu Qing was taken aback: 'You... you are a legitimate child?'"

  Xiao Xiao glared at her: "Who told you I'm the eldest brother of a concubine, one concubine-born younger brother and two concubine-born younger sisters."

  No siblings at all!

  "Then what about the eldest son's side?" Shen Mu Qing asked, his expression calm but his eyes revealing a hint of surprise. In ancient times, adoption was not like it is now, as it not only involved continuing the family line but also inheritance rights, which included distinctions between elder and younger, legitimate and illegitimate children.

  Xiao Xiao smiled indifferently: "As for making money, apart from me, there's the eldest son of the second house and the second son of the third house - that is, my elder brother born out of wedlock. He took 5,000 taels of silver from our grandfather as capital to do spice business in Fuzhou, and has also made a fortune over the years." As he spoke, he let out a long sigh and smiled: "Now that I've become a Wu champion, it's just right for me to take his place!"

  For some reason, Shen Muqing felt that Xiao Xiao's smile contained something that made her feel heartache.

  A two-year-old child, who couldn't tell good from bad at that time, was adopted by the fourth house and changed his life trajectory. He also took over his birth mother's title, no wonder he didn't dare ask for a tutor. If it weren't for this unprecedented martial arts competition, where would his future be?

  "Whose attention are you trying to get?" Shen Muqing's voice was extremely soothing, with a gentleness that even surprised herself.

  Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "You think I'm pitiful because I lost the position of eldest son?"

  Shen Mu Qing thought carefully for a moment.

  Indeed, he felt sorry for himself. Not only did he lose the position of the eldest son, but also because of the pressure of being expected by his clan.

  But she couldn't say it.

  She still remembers when she first met Xiao Sa, his eccentricity was a young man's rebellion under helpless circumstances.

  "You, poor thing?" Shen Muqing teased him with a smile, "A 17-year-old Zhuangyuan, indeed a bit pitiful!"

  Xiao Xiao burst out laughing, with joy all over her face.

  Wang's mother looked at Xiao Qi with a flying expression, and slightly frowned.

  Let's calculate it, how can two people be so happy?

  "Mom, don't bother." The person who came up with Xiao Qi said in a gentle voice, "To be honest, our Fu family has been dealing with the Guo family for some time now. At the end of the year when we settled accounts, we were delighted to receive payment. Now that the account is unclear, they sent us over. To be frank, we don't want to play the role of villains either. If we can resolve this matter amicably, everyone will benefit!"

  "Listen, not just your family has dealings with us, but look, who else besides you comes to collect debts like this? Tomorrow, have your master come over and we'll settle things once and for all. After that, don't even think about coming to our store again to buy on credit."

  The word "anger" was bitten very heavily, and it was clear that there was still a threat of the rich and real anger just now.

  That person accompanied a smile: "It's all because we don't know how to speak. Mother doesn't hold grudges, so please don't take it to heart." As he spoke, he bowed to Mrs. Wang.

  "Wang's mother heard him speak and asked: 'What is your name?'"

  The man bowed his head and stood respectfully, smiling: "My humble surname is Pang, and my unworthy name is De Bao!"

  Wang's mother gazed at him coldly and sneered: "Pang Debao, I think that Xiao Qi is smiling with a thief-like expression, perhaps he has ulterior motives!"

  Pang De's expression stiffened, and he forced a smile: "See what mom said!"

  Wang's mother coldly snorted, interrupting Pang Debao's explanation: "I'm telling you, don't think that just because our family's young mistress is easy to deceive with flowery words, she can be easily fooled into acknowledging that nonsense account. She has been following the madam in managing the household since she was a child." With that, she turned around and walked towards Shen Muqing.

  Shen Mu Qing saw Wang Mama walking towards her from behind the bamboo curtain and immediately said in a low voice, "Wang Mama is coming."

  Xiao Xiao was taken aback.

  Suddenly, I remembered when I was a child, sneaking into the husband's room to see how he evaluated me in the letter he wrote to my fourth uncle. At that time, the little servant whispered to him, "The husband is coming!"

  He couldn't help but smile slightly.

  Handsome eyebrows and eyes shining brightly: "You remember what I told you, if there's anything inconvenient that needs my help, just send someone to Fushi to find Xiao Qi." Chapter 113 Heartache (Pink ticket 260 plus update)
