Ah?
Su Shuiche looked at Xue Li, dumbfounded. He … was her father-in-law. Did she understand what he said just now?
Xin Lan and Jian Heng were a couple.
"What?
Does my wife feel that it's inappropriate? "Xue Li looked at Su Shuiche's reaction with amusement and asked.
"No … but they … just met for the first time." If they were willing, then she had nothing to say.
In any case, she was naturally happy for the maids if they could have a good marriage.
She left the Su Family in the Republic of China and married Ah Yao. She chose her own marriage and led a happy life. She didn't want the people around her to be forced into a marriage, even if that person was only her maid assistant.
Just like Chunlan, she hoped that all the maids and manservants who came to the side courtyard could have a happy and happy marriage.
Even if they weren't rich or noble, as long as the husband and wife loved each other and recognized each other, she would definitely support them.
However, if it was only her father-in-law who passionately acted as a matchmaker for the two of them, and the parties involved didn't necessarily like each other, then wasn't it the same as an arranged marriage?
Would this kind of marriage be happy and happy?
She was very doubtful.
"That's easy. Just let them interact with each other more.
We'll be staying here for half a month.
That's enough time for them to develop feelings for each other. "
Xue Li looked as if as long as Su Shuiche agreed, he would definitely facilitate the marriage between Xin Lan and Jian Heng.
Su Shuiche frowned slightly. Even if Xin Lan was a maid who had signed a contract to sell herself to the Prince Jing Palace, and now that the contract was in her hands, it didn't mean that she could decide on Xin Lan's marriage.
"Your daughter-in-law already understands Father's meaning.
Can you allow your daughter-in-law to talk to Xin Lan privately?
If she's willing, your daughter-in-law won't have any objections. I'll definitely prepare enough dowry for her and let her get married grandly.
But if Xin Lan is a little unwilling, then … "
"Then I won't force her to agree." Xue Li answered without hesitation.
"But …" He changed the topic. "Now is not a good time to talk to her. Let's find some time alone for the two of them to get to know each other better.
I thought that although Jian Heng's personality was dull, he was definitely a man of character.
As long as you're a smart woman, you won't miss such a good opportunity. "
"… Okay." Su Shuiche nodded in agreement.
It would be good to get along with Xin Lan for a while before inquiring about her opinion. At least, she would be able to consider things more thoroughly since she had been in contact with her for some time.
"But, there's one thing that I don't understand. If … Xin Lan is willing, does she have to marry into the Blood Hades?" Su Shuiche was a little worried.
Xinlan was an extremely capable assistant. Although she had only been in the monastery for half a year, she had always arranged the people she was in charge of properly.
Even if she was temporarily assigned to other positions, she could still do a good job.
It should be said that the residence that she and Ah Yao lived in, as well as the large residence that Sirou and the others lived in, was now in good order under the joint management of Chun Lan, the newly arrived Xin Lan, and several other senior maidservants.
If they married a maidservant, they would have one less capable assistant. How would she and Chun Lan manage such a large courtyard?
"This … I haven't considered it.
How about this, as long as they are willing, they can go anywhere. "Jian Heng was not young anymore, so he couldn't delay any longer.
As long as there was a good girl who was willing to marry him, Father Jian could rest assured in the afterlife.
So what if he lost a capable assistant?
At worst, he could ask Draconis to choose a blood knight as a substitute.
"Since Father is so supportive, it would be unreasonable for Daughter-In-Law to refuse.
Then let's follow Father's idea and let them get to know each other first.
After a while, Daughter-In-Law will have a good talk with Xin Lan. "
When Su Shuiche saw that Xue Li was so eager to act as a matchmaker, she couldn't find an excuse to refuse.
Moreover, she still didn't know Xin Lan's intentions. If Xin Lan really had feelings for Jian Heng, her refusal would be like breaking up a pair of mandarin ducks.
She might as well see how the two of them developed.
When Xue Li saw that Su Shuiche nodded in agreement, he smiled and thought about how to create opportunities for Jian Heng and Xin Lan. Fengruo shook her head with a smile. She put down her cup and pulled Su Shuiche to chat about daily life.
It had been more than four months since they parted in Qiyun Town. She missed her son's family to death in the Blood Hades Palace.
"If Mother isn't tired, why don't you come with Daughter-In-Law to see Xiao 'er and Long' er?" Su Shuiche naturally understood her mother-in-law's thoughts.
Although she couldn't persuade Ah Yao to sit face to face with his parents to chat, she was completely in charge of the twins.
"Of course.
Oh, I miss them so much.
I can't wait to see them every day. "When Fengruo heard Su Shuiche's suggestion, it was simply what she wanted.
She nodded happily.
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw that Xue Li was still racking his brains over how to be a good matchmaker, they simply ignored him and walked to the lotus pond hand in hand.
Ever since Sirou took them to the lotus pond for a boat ride, the twins would always make a fuss about going to the lotus pond to play at this time.
The bold Lin Long even wanted to climb into the water to play.
Bai He, Mama Liang, and the others were so scared that they could only hug her tightly, fearing that the little miss would go into the water by herself if they weren't careful.
Fortunately, the afternoon wasn't cold at this time of the year, and the twins liked to play near the lotus pond. Mama Liang and the others simply laid out a soft mat on the shore and placed many toys on it, allowing the twins to climb and play freely.
"Shuiche … Zhan 'er, he … I mean Ah Yao, is he still angry at me for being a derelict mother?"
On the way to the lotus pond, Fengruo wanted to say something but hesitated several times. Finally, she mustered up the courage to ask her daughter-in-law the question that had been hovering in her heart for a long time.
She couldn't be blamed for not being suspicious.
She and Xue Li had already been in Blossom Town for two days.
Yesterday, because they had just arrived, their son had a reason not to disturb his parents. But today?
Why was he still nowhere to be seen?
Did he really not want to see them?
"… Mother …" When Su Shuiche heard this, she gently held Fengruo's hand and gently advised, "Ah Yao isn't someone who's good with words. I believe that he really cares about you.
Before entering the mountain this morning, he specially instructed Mama Liang to make some northern food in the kitchen. He was afraid that you wouldn't be used to southern food.
Also, when we were arranging the accommodations yesterday, he was also the one who suggested that you stay in the Bamboo Garden so that you'd be closer to us.
Give him some time, take it slow … "Back then, before she and Ah Yao got married, wasn't he also pitifully few words?
It was only because she wasn't a talkative person that she didn't feel uncomfortable.
As long as he quietly accompanied her, she felt very at ease.
She believed that Ah Yao had already forgiven his parents in his heart.
Although he had no choice but to arrange for them to stay in the Bamboo Garden, he did have intentions for their breakfast. Although he only snorted softly, "Don't give them fried rice." Because the people of the Blood Hades liked to nibble on noodles.
"Mm … Mother believes …" Fengruo smiled faintly and nodded.
Indeed, compared to last night's meal, this morning's meal was more suitable for them.
It turned out that her son had specially instructed the kitchen to make it for them.
So, her son was actually very concerned about them, his derelict parents?
Thinking of this, Fengruo felt a lot better.
She no longer worried about when her son would come to visit them and took the initiative to ask if they were used to living there.
Used to the food?
Because he had already used his actions to express his feelings.
