Dongfang Hui's face darkened. Mrs. Xu clearly meant that Dongfang You did not meet the standards of the Xu family.
"Mrs. Xu, how am I not following the rules?" Dongfang You, who was standing aside, could not help but step forward and ask unhappily.
Madam Xu glanced at her indifferently and didn't answer her question.
Xu Qingyan, who was standing behind Xu Hongyu, poked his head out and said with a smile, "Miss Dongfang. Women have four virtues. Women's speech, women's work, women's appearance, and women's virtue. How many virtues do you have? "Women's speech did not need a glib tongue, and it was appropriate. Dongfang You was quite eloquent, but she had never used it on the right occasion. As for women's appearance, Dongfang You could not pass the test just because she had practiced the art of seduction. Women's virtue was even more nonsense. For a woman who was planning how to make use of her husband's family to achieve her own industry before marriage, women's virtue meant nothing to her. In short, Dongfang You could marry anyone she wanted, but there was no way she could marry into the Xu family, let alone a door.
Dongfang Hui's eyes fell on Xu Qingyan. "Is this the fifth young master?"
Xu Qingyan did not seem to notice the pressure in her eyes. He stepped forward with a smile and cupped his hands. "I am Xu Wu. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dongfang."
Dongfang Hui smiled and said, "The fifth young master is eloquent."
Xu Qingyan smiled and said, "Please forgive me for my rudeness. But my eldest brother is thin-skinned and is embarrassed to say many things. As his younger brother, I can't help but say a few words. My eldest brother will be in charge of the Xu family in the future. If he marries a disgraceful sister-in-law, the Xu family will lose face, won't it? "
"Qingyan!" Xu Hongyu frowned slightly and glanced at Xu Qingyan disapprovingly. But there was no reproach in his tone. Obviously, Xu Qingyan's words also touched his heart, but he could not say it directly because of his identity. If he really did not want to hear Xu Qingyan's rudeness, why did he wait until he finished speaking?
At this point, Dongfang Hui also understood that the marriage could not be discussed today. She wasn't the kind of person who didn't know when to stop. Instead of sitting here and continuing to be humiliated, it was better to leave early and go back to think of a good plan. Thinking of this, Dongfang Hui adjusted his expression and said with a faint smile, "In that case, we have disturbed Prince Ding and Princess today. I'll take my leave first. "Ye Li didn't urge her to stay. She smiled and said," Madam, take care. "
Dongfang Hui nodded and said to Dongfang You, "You 'er, let's go."
Dongfang You bit the corner of her lips and looked at Xu Qingchen. Unfortunately, Xu Qingchen did not seem to notice her gaze at all. She calmly lowered her eyes and drank her tea. Dongfang You's face turned pale. She suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Fifth Young Master Xu said that there are four virtues for women. How many virtues does Princess Ding have?"
"You 'er, shut up!" Dongfang Hui scolded harshly. Dongfang You's eyes reddened when he was scolded by his master in front of so many people, but he stubbornly refused to admit defeat.
Madam Xu smiled mildly, "The Infinite Boundless Mountain is really well-educated."
Xu Qingyan said with a smile, "Sister Li 'er naturally has all four virtues. More importantly, Prince Ding likes someone like her. The Xu family doesn't like someone like you. "No matter how many rules there were, they couldn't avoid the word 'like'. Not to mention that Ye Li was a publicly acknowledged virtuous wife. No, in the eyes of many people, she was no longer just a wife. The name of Princess Ding was enough to stand side by side with Prince Ding. Even if Ye Li didn't know anything, as long as Prince Ding liked her, there would be no problem. Similarly, even if Dongfang You was outstanding in everything and had outstanding looks, the Xu family didn't like such a daughter-in-law. It was useless to say anything. And the Xu family's requirements for their daughter-in-law were obviously different from those of the Prince Ding Mansion. If Dongfang You really had Ye Li's ability, the Xu family might not refuse. The problem was that she didn't.
Dongfang You's face was as white as paper. Dongfang Hui couldn't bear to see her disciple so embarrassed. She glanced at her unhappily and said, "Why aren't you leaving?"
Dongfang You had no choice but to follow behind her master silently.
After sending off the guests, Xu Qingyan smiled and went up to Xu Qingchen, saying, "Big brother, how was it? Did brother get it right? "Xu Qingchen looked at him mildly," What did I get right? "
"Don't deny it. That Dongfang You likes you. Look at her eyes just now. It was as if you had abandoned her. "Xu Qingyan smiled.
"Slap!" Mrs. Xu raised her hand and slapped him on the forehead. "What do you mean by abandoning her? What kind of nonsense have you learned in the past few years? Let me tell you, the women of the Infinite Boundless Mountain are not allowed to enter our Xu family. " Xu Qingyan covered his forehead and said in confusion, "Mother, Dongfang You definitely can't marry into our family. Big Brother definitely won't like her." Madame Xu snorted and said, "Not only your big brother, but no one else. Not even Dongfang You! "After saying that, she waved her sleeves and left.
Xu Qingyan touched his forehead and looked at Xu Hongyu, saying, "Father, why do I feel that mother is implying something?"
Xu Hongyu raised his hand and knocked on his forehead, "You think too much." He waved to the others and left.
Xu Qingyan looked at Ye Li and the other two sadly, "Why am I always the one who gets hurt?" His big brother bullied him, his mother hit him, and now even his father, who was so elegant and proud, hit him.
Xu Qingchen looked at him with a faint smile. Xu Qingyan hurriedly shrank back and ran out like a wisp of smoke.
"Dongfang Hui is a smart person." Xu Qingchen knocked on the armrest and said mildly.
"Smart people are still pissed off by Young Master Qingchen." Mo Xiuyao said lazily. Xu Qingchen smiled mildly, "That's for Dongfang You. If it weren't for Dongfang You, Dongfang Hui wouldn't be so easy to deal with. "
"Brother Qingchen, you seem to hate Dongfang Hui?" Mo Xiuyao asked curiously. It was rare for Xu Qingchen to express her dislike for someone. Logically speaking, Xu Qingchen shouldn't have met Dongfang Hui before. Hearing this, Ye Li couldn't help but look at Xu Qingchen curiously. In fact, it wasn't just Xu Qingchen. Madam Xu's attitude towards Dongfang Hui was also a bit strange. Ye Li couldn't help but guess that the relationship between Dongfang Hui and Eldest Uncle wasn't as simple as Eldest Uncle said. But it wasn't good to recklessly guess the affairs of the elders. She could only suppress it in her heart.
Xu Qingchen didn't hide it and said mildly, "It's nothing. I just stole a few letters from Dongfang Hui."
"Eh? Could it be … "Mr. Hongyu really had a confidante outside?
Looking at the similar expressions on the two people's faces, Xu Qingchen shook his head helplessly and said, "What nonsense are you thinking? It was just Dongfang Hui's one-sided entanglement. Father didn't even see the letters. But mother and I happened to see it. At that time … mother was just pregnant with fourth brother. Seeing Dongfang Hui's confidence, we were a bit depressed. "Ye Li blinked and said," Eldest Uncle didn't know what Dongfang Hui meant? "
Xu Qingchen thought for a moment. "I don't think so. I took all the letters she sent to the Xu family. The first one was just some words of thanks. "
