Chapter 36

Xue Li did not expect that Zhao Tong would ask so straightforwardly in public. Nowadays, although there are rumors between her and Wei Jie, they are just secretive. However, if she admits it in public, her deep love for Wei Jie will definitely spread, and if she gets involved with Liang Yan in the future, she will definitely attract a lot of ridicule.

There is nothing wrong with pretending to be pitiful.

She frowned slightly, with a slightly downcast expression, and laughed at herself: "The eldest son is as noble as clouds, and I am as small as dust, so I dare not have wishful thinking. King Junshan should not say such things in the future. If anyone wants to know, I'm afraid It is damaging to the reputation of the eldest son..."

As soon as these words came out, Xue Li seemed particularly pitiful and pitiful. Some listeners could even imagine the scene of her being ridiculed and ridiculed because of her low birth and not being worthy of Wei Jie, so that Even Wei Yun recalled what she had said before, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.

Zhao Tong was silent and then said: "Those who treat you sincerely will not care about your family background."

Xue Li almost wanted to sneer, but he just said it nicely. Men in the world are always the most deceitful and cunning, and there is no one who doesn't care about their birth status. Only a woman who has been taught etiquette to the point of losing her head will be willing to elope with a commoner who has nothing.

Although her father is now a businessman who is despised by the nobles, he is shrewd and selfish enough to coax her mother-in-law into her heart.

Wei Jie cares, and Liang Yan must also care. Zhao Tong said he doesn't care, but it's just because he doesn't need it now. He already has great power, and marrying a famous family will be regarded as ambitious. If one day he needs to marry to win over power, I am afraid that his wife will be kicked away even if she is still alive.

Xue Li couldn't bear it anymore and lowered her eyebrows, pretending to be sad. Zhao Tong knew that he had offended her, so he wisely said nothing more, leaving only one thought-provoking sentence.

"I'll wait for you to come find me in the future."

After saying that, he left, and Wei Yun urged his servants to drive their horses with a cold face.

Xue Li didn't take his words to heart. She held onto the car wall and asked Jin Zhen, "Did your cousin ask you to come?"

Jin Zheng said nothing and just nodded indifferently.

It would be okay if Jin Qing was left behind, but it was Jin Zheng who seemed to be mute. Xue Li had no way to deal with him, and he probably couldn't figure out the reason, and he became more and more impatient.

Wei Yun also had a sullen face, glanced at Jin Zheng, and said quietly: "My cousin is really interested in you."

She simply remained silent and did not refute.

The two of them were disturbed by the sudden appearance of Xia Houxin, so they didn't say anything else on the way, and they dispersed early after returning home.

Yao Linghui was sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air. Two lanterns were hung on the trees, illuminating a slightly satisfied smile on her face.

"What good thing happened to my mother-in-law?"

Yao Linghui snorted coldly: "The disaster that happened to the Xue family is not a great thing. There was a rebellion in Wu. Your uncle and the others were rushing to please the King of Huaiyin. Now, Instead, they were implicated, so you wrote and asked me to go and say a few good words to your uncle."
