Chapter 1026 Dilemma
At that time, Yu Xian was furious and scolded her future husband’s family in front of her grandmother!
She said that they were shameless and used money to trick her grandparents and uncles. She also said that the family was ruthless and was a gangster in Dong’an. Even if she were to shave her head to become a nun, she would not marry that person. She was powerful with her words. She only scolded the future husband’s family, but anyone who heard it would think that her grandparents and uncles of the Yu family were greedy and ungrateful. It was fine that she scolded the Yu family, but she changed her tone and said that the Zhou family was kind and amiable. They must have asked her to come back to make a decision for her, right? It was pitiful that before her grandmother could speak, Yu Xian had already praised her like she was a kind bodhisattva. It was really infuriating!
That was not the most annoying thing.
Even her grandmother did not expect that Yu Xian would actually sign a contract with the Xie family.
At the moment, they were in a dilemma.
Since she had already started working for the Xie family, if she did not hand her over to Dong’an, Dong’an would definitely not be on good terms with them in the future. If anything happened, they might have to compensate her. However, if she handed her over… She would have to compensate the Xie family with 50,000 taels of silver!
Yu Xian was initially only the niece of the first madam of the house. For this person, it was not worth it to spend this much money…
In short, it was really a mistake to bring her back to the Zhou Residence. Now, the grandmother was still blaming her. She felt that she had talked too much and told them about Yu Xian’s whereabouts. If the family had not known about it, they would not have gotten into this troublesome matter that would harm themselves.
Zhou Sijin was upset.
How could she have known that Yu Xian was so annoying?
So now, when she looked at Yu Xian, she really did not like her no matter how she looked at her. She also wished that everyone in the world would know how thick-skinned and shameless she was!
“Cousin Yu, this kind of swindler is really good at deceiving people. I’m doing this for your own good. If you don’t believe me, you can ask someone else. For an unmarried lady like you to stay with such a Taoist master who wanders the streets, is that right?!” Zhou Sijin said righteously, “The elders asked me to take care of you. How can I watch you act recklessly and ruin my reputation?”
When Yu Xian heard that, she scratched her head in worry.
Why did this cousin not understand human language?
However, on account of this cousin’s young age, it was really not appropriate for her to take action. She could only hold back her temper and say, “Master is not one of those swindlers. Cousin, don’t worry. Although I’m a guest in the Zhou family, I’m only a guest. Cousin doesn’t need to use your family’s rules to demand of me. Otherwise, I think I’d better leave today. I won’t be a nuisance to your family.” Upon hearing this, Zhou Sijin’s eyes widened in anger.
She also wanted Yu Xian to get lost!
However, the truth was that she could not!
Yu Xian had only been a guest of the Zhou family for a short period of time. How could she seriously invite her into the family and let her leave in just a few days? If words got out, what kind of a family would the Zhou family become?!
However, she could not win against Yu Xian.
After all, Yu Xian was a guest. With her status, she could not say anything.
Nevertheless, it was impossible for her to do nothing
She looked at the Taoist master who was sleeping, she simply sat down and said, “Since Cousin insists on saving this Taoist master, I will stay here and accompany her. I have to see which Taoist temple this master belongs to, whether she is an expert or a street-wandering fraud.”
She was kind-hearted and refused to leave.
Yu Xian was lucky to be able to curry favor with the Xie family! However, how could a person’s luck be endless? How long had she been in the capital? The so-called master in front of her was in dire straits!
Zhou Sijin did see Xie Qiao at the entrance of the bookstore, but she did not believe that she bought the cart of things with her own money.
