After rebirth, the female supporting role only wanted to have a grand funeral

Chapter 4 If you have no expectations, you won’t be disappointed

Xue Shu slept very deeply, and her dreams were filled with the fragrance of osmanthus. She didn't wake up until the next morning.

She opened her eyes and suddenly found herself in an unfamiliar bedroom. She turned over and sat up from the bed, startling Qingyu who was napping beside the bed.

"What kind of place is this?" When Xue Shu saw Qing Yu, she immediately relaxed her vigilance and lay back lazily.

"This is the young master's bedroom," Qingyu yawned, "You were drunk yesterday, and the young master didn't trust you to go back by yourself, so he put you here."

Xue Shu nodded. Yesterday, she acted wildly in front of Xue Chen. As a result, Xue Chen not only didn't get angry, but also treated her well. After all this, she really didn't care about this cold-faced and warm-hearted elder brother.

I can't be afraid anymore.

Xue Shu chuckled and was in a good mood: "Let's go back!"

"Yes." Qingyu stood up quickly, helped her put on her clothes, and briefly tidied her hair.

After returning from Tingzhuyuan, Xue Shu locked herself in the study room of Yuegui Xiaozhu. Two days were enough for her to carefully recall what happened in her previous life. She could write wherever she thought, and she would write whatever she wanted.

There were more than a dozen pieces of paper filled with writing in my sleep.

Finally, she looked through it carefully again and only wrote down some important things. Finally, she threw the rice paper into the furnace and burned it to ashes, leaving no trace at all.

Things in the past life are not static. If she agrees to break off the engagement today, what will happen in the future will become uncontrollable. Therefore, it is useless to remember too many details. She still has to walk step by step in the future.

Speaking of this marriage, the two families have not exchanged the Geng Tie, so it is not settled. She has to quickly ask Xue Yue to go to the Hou Mansion to exchange her Geng Tie.

Having made up her mind, Xue Shu called Qingyu in, dressed up again, and went to Tingzhuyuan.

Xue Shu explained the purpose of her visit in a few words. After hearing this, Xue Chen looked at her happily for a long time and went to Xue Yue's study with her without saying a word.

——

“Cancel the engagement?”

And after so many days, there is no movement from the Hou Mansion, which shows that they are not serious. I don’t think there is any need to cancel this marriage."

After listening, Xue Shu sighed secretly.

Sure enough, Xue Yue was only provoked by her that day and said harsh words. Two days later, he had calmed down long ago, weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to play dumb.

Since the Hou Mansion did not take the initiative to come to the door, he was willing to pretend that nothing had happened and everything would remain as usual. When the time comes, he would have a smooth relationship with the Hou Mansion, and he would have an even smoother life in the court. As for Xue Shu's life,

Okay? It has nothing to do with him.

Xue Chen also guessed his intention to push things along, and was not surprised at all by his words: "Father, your firm attitude in the hall earlier has made the Marquis unhappy. If you really marry Shu'er, you will

Have you ever thought about what kind of life she will live?"

"Well, there are naturally thousands of ways to live life. How can you not live it well?"

The wronged.”

Hearing this, even Xue Chen, who had always been calm-looking, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He knew that his father had always been indifferent to Xue Shu, but he didn't expect to be so indifferent. Even if he knew that Xue Shu's marriage would be difficult, he didn't take it to heart.

That is a lifelong event for my daughter’s family!

Xue Chen's face was extremely ugly. His hands hidden under his wide sleeves were clenched into fists, and his joints were greenish-white.

Compared to Xue Chen, Xue Shu is much calmer. She has long known what kind of person Xue Yue is. If she doesn't have any hope, she will naturally not be disappointed.

"It's a pity that my father said too much that day," Xue Shu lowered her eyes, looked at the cup of hot tea in her hand, and said in a calm tone, "My father said that if they don't come to the door, you will go and break off the engagement in person.

You are really generous. But if you don't go, the Marquis must think that you have nothing to fear, and you can let them handle it. In the future, if my father has something to entrust to them, will they do their best?"

This sentence really touched Xue Yue's heart.

Although Zuoxiang's Mansion is already the head of the civil service, it still cannot be compared with the Hou Mansion that has been passed down for several generations.

Just talking about the interpersonal relationship, if Xue Yue is to deal with it, it will inevitably involve some hard work. It is not easy to say what the final result will be, but if the Hou Mansion comes forward, it will only take a few words to settle the matter.

"Now that the position of Marquis of the Changsheng Marquis Mansion is unstable, they are in urgent need of the power of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion. Right now, they are asking for help from their father. If they don't take advantage of this moment to give them a blow and let them know that you, father, are a man of your word, then nothing will happen in the future.

We have become in-laws, and as far as the Hou family is concerned, my father is just a stepping stone."

A stepping stone is something you pull over and step on when it is useful, and throw it aside when it is no longer useful.

Xue Yue has worked hard to reach his current position as left prime minister and has taken advantage of many people. No one understands better than him what the consequences of stepping stones will be.

The mild case may be demoted, or the more serious case may be the execution of the whole family.

Xue Yue thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Xue Shu and smiled: "You are quite good at talking now."

"Everything my daughter said is true, and she sincerely thinks about her father," Xue Shu twitched her lips, "With the status and power of the Zuo Xiangfu, it is not impossible to find a better in-law. My father likes the Changshenghou Mansion.

Isn't it just because the decline of the Changshenghou Mansion is easy to control?"

Hearing this, Xue Yue was shocked and stared at Xue Shu.

This was his most secret thought that even Aunt Wu, who was closest to him, didn't know, but now Xue Shu revealed it to her face.

He had really underestimated this legitimate daughter before.

When talking to smart people, it's enough to just stop talking. Talking too much can easily have the opposite effect, so Xue Shu only said this and then shut up.

Suddenly no one spoke in the study.

After a long time, Xue Yue sent someone to get the Geng Tie back.

He got married to the Hou Mansion in order to make the Hou Mansion available to him, not to serve as a stepping stone for the Hou Mansion.

"I can comply with your wishes and go to the Hou Mansion to cancel the engagement for you, but what benefit can you give me?" Xue Yue opened the Geng Tie, took a look at it, and shook it in his hand.

"The eldest son of the Marquis Mansion was unfaithful. My father couldn't bear the misfortune of Shu'er marrying him. This is what a loving father did."

My father is sharing your worries for you, and I believe that your majesty will value my father more in the future."

Xue Yue pondered for a moment and nodded.

The brother and sister left the study. Xue Chen glanced at his sister and said, "I don't know, it turns out that my father..."

"It's nothing," Xue Shu interrupted him, "I knew it a long time ago, and I didn't expect him to be sincerely good for me."

Xue Chen pursed his lips.

He regrets it now.

Originally, he was afraid that Mr. Xue Lu would indulge Xue Shu blindly and spoil her temperament, so he deliberately treated her indifferently, but he ignored that there was a truly indifferent Xue Yue in the family.

If he had known earlier, he should have been nicer to his sister.

Fortunately...it's not too late.
