Chapter 663: Vicious Eyes

"That means someone has taken a fancy to you... As the old saying goes, marrying high means marrying low. She followed her mother to marry into your Bai family. After all, there is no blood relationship, so she has to live by others' wishes. It's not surprising that she wants to find a good home for herself."

Xie Yu looked at Xiao Wu with a teasing look in his eyes.

"Look at your grand courtyard and you, a popular scholar. It's not surprising that someone has taken a fancy to you. Apart from anything else, you must be the best son-in-law candidate in the eyes of those mothers-in-law in the village."

From the first time he saw the girl, he saw passion and greed in her eyes.

Especially the look in her eyes when she stared at Xiao Wu, like a wolf seeing meat, wanting to swallow it or take it for himself.

He has seen this kind of look too many times in these years, and it is very familiar.

What surprised him was that she was just a country girl, but she had such a strong possessiveness and greed in her heart, which really surprised him.

Moreover, there was another point that made him feel particularly uncomfortable, that is, the girl didn't know where she learned to be delicate and artificial, not only was her method low-level, but she also had a smell of dust.

A good girl was taught to be like this, her mother must be this kind of person.

There were also several concubines in the backyard of their Xie family, all of whom were considered the favorites of the old man. The daily task of those women was to dress up and flirt in front of the old man, to make him happy, so that the old man could pay for some benefits out of his own pocket.

Concubines do this job, if they are serious, they will be ridiculed and said to be pretending. Because of this, concubines learn the means to seduce people, and they may be delicate and artificial in the eyes of others, and they will feel uncomfortable for a whole day after seeing them.

But some men like this type. After being serious all day, they need to go to the concubine's room to relax.

Today, I saw Xing'er's words and deeds. Compared with the concubines in the backyard, she is just like a young cub who has just started out. She is not on the same level.

That girl is pretty. If someone likes her, she will definitely be good after a year or two of training.

Ahem... It's not that he is mean, but he has seen a lot since he was a child, and his eyes are a bit poisonous, just like appraising treasures, one look and one look are accurate.

As soon as Xing'er appeared, her thoughts were exposed from her eyes. In addition, her words and deeds, any family with a little wealth would not marry such a woman back to be the mistress.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this kind of woman has no love in her heart, only interests. It is said that eyes go straight to the heart, and the love in her eyes is vulnerable compared to interests.

For a woman who only wants to cling to a man to live a good life, if you want her to love you deeply and be loyal, it is better to lead a pig and raise it, and you will get a plate of meat when it is fat.

Thinking of this, Xie Yu glanced at Xiao Wu beside him and shook his head. It was quite pitiful that he was stared at as soon as he showed his head.

Xiao Wu glared at Xie Yu's teasing eyes,

"I always feel like you are laughing at me."

Xie Yu looked at his gloomy expression and laughed wantonly and wildly, without any politeness,

"Haha... You have such vigilance, which is not bad. How does it feel to be treated as a hot commodity as soon as you show your head?"

This kid is not experienced in the world after all, and he doesn't know how to hide his emotions, which is quite interesting.

Xiao Wu glanced at him and pulled the corner of his mouth like him,

"Aren't you also a hot commodity?" It is said that this guy is very rich, and many people are thinking about the things in his hands.

Xie Yu raised his head slightly, curling his lips,

"I am just a piece of fat meat at best."

Hearing his self-deprecating tone, Xiao Wu rolled his eyes at him,

"Aren't they all the same?"

Xie Yu closed his fan and shook his head,

"There are still some differences. A sweet cake will make people like it to some extent, and they will want to take a bite, but it won't kill you. But fat meat is different. Greedy people just want to swallow it in one bite when they see it."

As fat meat for many years, those people not only want to swallow him, but also don't want to spit out the bones.

Hearing Xie Yu's deep tone, Xiao Wu looked up at him, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute.

The college knows a lot about this senior's experience, and there are many discussions about it in private. Although he didn't stay for a long time, he also heard a lot.

Xie Yu is the eldest son of the county magistrate's family, but he lost his mother at a young age. A year later, his father remarried. It is said that his stepmother treated him well at first, and later his stepmother gave him a half-brother.

Not long after, his stepmother entrusted him to the servants in the mansion. It is said that he had a serious illness and almost lost his life. Later, a loyal servant volunteered to take care of him. It is said that the servants who volunteered were all loyal servants left by Xie Yu's mother and were also part of the dowry.

At the age of twelve, under the strong suggestion of his uncles, he took over the dowry left by his mother.

It was also at that time that everyone knew that Xie Yu's mother's dowry was actually in the hands of the stepmother.

Because it involved many manors and shops, the county magistrate's backyard caught fire. Overnight, the streets and alleys were all about the stepmother's dowry. Until the rumors became more and more intense, saying all kinds of things, such as the cause of death of the previous mistress was unknown, and there was a stepmother and a stepfather, leaving the young eldest son to fend for himself, which directly affected the reputation of County Magistrate Xie.

It is not a glorious thing for the head of a county to be used as a topic of conversation after dinner. It is said that the county magistrate was very angry. While ordering a thorough investigation, he simply waved his hand and handed over all the dowry of Xie Yu's mother to him in order to quell the rumors outside.

This incident caused quite a stir in the county at the time. The stepmother never showed up to explain. Instead, her family members came out to make a fuss, saying that their sister worked hard but didn't get any credit, that it was not easy to be a stepmother, and that she had raised an ungrateful person.

Unfortunately, as soon as she showed up, she was caught and taught a lesson by Xie Yu's uncle. The stepmother and the original wife's family members fought and directly summoned the county magistrate. Although it was finally settled, the relationship between Xie Yu and her stepmother was completely ruined.

My mother once said that a person who has come out of adversity is a person with ability and patience.

When they returned home together, Bai Yunxi had already set up a tea table in the yard. The elders of the clan, including the eldest uncle and the third uncle, had gone back to rest because they were old and had limited energy.

The relatives who came to congratulate also left one after another, and those who stayed were close and could talk.

This also included Zheng, because after the old clan leader left, he specifically told Zheng to stay and help with the aftermath.

After hearing what her uncle said, Bai Yunxi's mouth trembled slightly.

From the beginning to the end, the eldest cousin's wife didn't help her at all, but she caused a lot of trouble and attracted a lot of hatred for herself.

After the meal, everyone basically ignored her.

Only she was still trying to please the scholar's wife, acting like a mother-in-law.
