Qiao was not a smart and smart person, so she didn't know how to choose for a while.

She may be embarrassed by being a little embarrassed by being honest and neat, but she can eliminate hidden dangers as much as possible.

Keep pretending not to know, today is comfortable, but the next day is likely to cause greater trouble.

She had seen Princess Yiyang, and even heard Ji'er talk about her a lot.

Ya'er can't compete with her in any aspect. Once she gets angry, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Besides, she saw that Yu'er was sincere in her love for Princess Yiyang. For his lifelong happiness, she must not cause trouble.

After weighing the pros and cons, Qiao finally made up his mind.

"Ya'er..." She stroked the raising daughter's hair: "The adoptive mother has always regarded you as her biological daughter. To be honest, is the person in your heart your second brother?"

Xiang Shuya was shocked: "Entertainment Mother..."

Qiao smiled bitterly: "The mother of the priest is stupid, but I am a veteran after all, so how could I not see the thoughts of you young children?

Which girl wouldn't like a young man as outstanding as your second brother?"

Xiang Shuya knelt down with a thud: "My adopted mother, my daughter never dares to have any inappropriate thoughts."

"Good boy, get up quickly." Qiao was weak in illness, so she could only help her.

Xiang Shuya refused to get up and still knelt straight.

Qiao said helplessly: "The adoptive mother didn't mean to blame you, she just didn't want you to be like me..."

Xiang Shuya is young and has never had the chance to meet Luo, and she knows very little about her.

But she is a smart girl. She has lived in the Huan family for nearly ten years and can see some things clearly.

The adoptive father and his adopted mother are both good people and treat her very well, but their relationship is not close.

The adopted mother was always a little cowardly in front of her adopted father, but her heart was all in her adoptive father, so she obeyed his advice.

The adoptive father was gentle to his adopted mother, but he was obviously alienated. However, when he mentioned his second brother's biological mother, the brilliance in his eyes was unignorable.

She was inconvenient to inquire about her elders, and she was not qualified to accuse her adoptive father of being indifferent, but it was true that she felt sorry for her adoptive mother.

She moved forward two steps and buried her face in Qiao's palm.

Qiao's nose was sour and she said in a muffled voice: "Ya'er, it was the first time that she met your adopted father when you were so old.

At that time, he was not as old as your second and third brothers, and was the prince of the county duke's mansion.

He sat upright on the tall horse, with a smile on his face brighter than the sun.

I am just a commoner woman, so how dare I think of a noble young man like him? I think it's over and I'll forget it all over again.

But fate always loves to tease people. Before I could forget him, the old lady actually asked a matchmaker to come to Qiao's house to propose marriage.

I still clearly remember the situation when I was preparing to marry at home. I felt like I was dreaming all day long, and I was afraid that when the dream suddenly I woke up.

You also know what happened later. Your adoptive father had already married in the army.

His wife was born in a general and had a stunning appearance, and her temperament was even more noble and elegant.

In front of her, I was like an inconspicuous little flower growing in the wilderness…”

The more she spoke, the more sad she became, and she started to cry.

"All those things have passed, don't be sad..." Xiang Shuya raised her little face and pulled out a silk hand from her sleeve to wipe her tears.

Qiao cried for a while, and finally calmed down.

"Ya'er, my adopted mother said so much to you, not to complain to you, nor to blame your adopted father.

I just want to tell you that girls must not be moved by men who pretend to be others in their hearts, and don’t think they will be able to impress them one day.

Taking advantage of your lack of deep feelings for Yu'er, he didn't know that you had such an idea and had already cut off this thought.

Ya'er is so beautiful and sensible, she will definitely meet a man who keeps you in her heart in the future.

Girls’ feelings are precious, so they must be left to the person who deserves your love.”

Xiang Shuya's tears rustled down: "My adopted mother, my daughter must remember your teachings."

Huan Yu and Huan Ji followed the old Duke into the study.

The master is not in the mansion for many years, but the study is still spotless.

The old county duke walked slowly to the Bogu rack: "Brother Yu, Brother Ji, come and burn incense for your grandmother."

The two brothers did not dare to neglect, so they sorted out their clothes and walked over.

After kowtowing after incense, the two brothers stood behind the old county duke, and the three grandparents and grandchildren stared at the woman in the portrait together.

The portrait has been around for some years and the paper is a little yellow. The woman in the painting smiles lightly, still the same as the girl she used to be.

Because she is still young, the girl's appearance and figure are not yet grown up. Although she is beautiful, she is not as beautiful as a heavenly figure.

From an outsider's perspective, her appearance is still a certain gap compared to the Xu family in her prime.

But the old county duke's eyes and behavior were enough to explain everything.

This girl occupied his whole heart and possessed all his tenderness.

Huan Yu and Huan Ji grew up watching their grandfather’s words and deeds since childhood.

But in the past, the two of them were young and had never experienced the love between men and women. Although they were sincere every time they burned incense and kowtow, they did not understand the affection of their grandfather.

Now they have a sweetheart and finally have a different experience.

Of course, their understanding of this point is not deep enough. They always have to go through some things before they dare to say that they truly understand their grandfather.

The old county magistrate took a clean silk squid and gently wiped the spotless portrait.

"Embroidery, time flies so fast. Brother Yu and Brother Ji have been engaged, and I am too old.

In a few years, the children will be stable and I will probably come to see you."

Where did Huan Yu and Huan Ji hear this?

The two of them took a step forward, and Huan Yu took over the silk handkerchief from the old county duke: "Grandfather, let grandson wipe it."

Huan Ji took the old county duke's arm: "Grandfather, if you say this again, grandmother should be unhappy."

The old county duke Huan slapped him in the hand: "Nonsense, your grandmother never gets angry with me. She is happy every time she sees me."

Huan Ji grinned: "The grandson said the wrong thing."

Huan Laojun said justice: "Okay, let's talk well with our grandparents."

Huan Yu put away the silk handkerchief, and the three of them walked to the side of the book desk, and each looked for a chair to sit down.

The old county duke Huan looked at his two grandsons and smiled and said, "You two brats are very quick to move. In less than half a year, I completed the task assigned by me!"

Huan Ji smiled and said, "Grandfather didn't expect it. My brother said he didn't want to get married, but he was faster than me!

If it weren't for my sister-in-law's help, I wouldn't know when I would be able to return to Tianshui County to pay the job."

Duke Huan's old county slapped his forehead: "I just knew you are a mouth-handker!"
