Chapter 411: Come to propose marriage
The old lady pointed at Si He, her hair standing on end in anger.
Mrs. He, the second wife of Guo, said, "Mother, don't be angry yet. Let Sister Qu tell us where she has been these past few days. If she behaves like Sister Yu, then she will be punished."
She said this seemingly to ease the atmosphere, for the sake of the elders' health, and to give the younger generation a chance to explain, but her eyes could not hide the gloating. After all, these two concubines' daughters were from the eldest house, and it was the eldest house that was disgraced.
Madam Guo couldn't help but glare at He, and then she angrily said to Si He, "Tell me! Where have you been these days?"
Si He then stepped forward, looked at the old lady, and said, "Grandmother, a few days ago, my granddaughter went out with my mother. Due to an unexpected incident, the scene was very chaotic. I was accidentally pushed into the crowd and sprained my ankle. Then I was kidnapped by thieves. Fortunately, I was rescued by the young master of the Yue family and I am safe and sound."
"My granddaughter only came back recently because she accidentally hit her head and just woke up last night, so she hurried back today."
When everyone heard her words, their expressions changed.
This is exactly the same as what Guo Jiayu said!
"Were you also kidnapped by thieves?"
The old lady raised her voice, her face full of disbelief, and no one present believed her either. Her lies were worse than Guo Jiayu's, and her appearance and attitude were wrong no matter how you looked at them!
And Si He really didn't care whether they believed it or not. As long as the "fact" was like that, they had to believe it whether they wanted to or not.
She had been prepared for Yue Fuli's refusal. If that happened, she would not return to the Guo family for the time being and would look for other solutions instead of compromising.
At this time, a servant came outside and said that the Yue family had sent someone and a matchmaker to propose marriage.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, including Si He. She didn't expect Yue Fuli to act so quickly. As soon as she entered the Guo family, his people came to propose marriage!
This is really unbelievable!
The people of the Guo family didn’t even know who the Yue family was!
But since the person has already arrived, I can only see what is going on and then deal with the household affairs.
The old lady was extremely angry, but she still sent Si He, Guo Jiayu and others to the backyard to wait for being summoned.
Guo Jiayu, who was kneeling, breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly. After she stood up, she glanced at Si He who was not far away, then lowered her head and walked towards the backyard with her.
There were also a group of younger people traveling with them, after all, it was not appropriate for them to stay here.
On the way to the backyard, they all looked at Si He, because compared to Guo Jiayu, she was more unusual. They were all curious about which family the Yue family member who came to propose marriage was from?
There are no wealthy families with the surname Yue in Guang'an City, but there are some small families in other cities in Zhongzhou, and the wealthy families with the surname Yue are mainly distributed in the neighboring Jizhou.
"Jia Qu, which family is the Yue family that proposed marriage?"
The girls who came out together did not return to their own yards, but followed to the flower hall in the backyard. At the instigation of several people, Guo Jiahui took the initiative to ask questions with a somewhat unfriendly tone.
Si He glanced at her and saw that the girls around her and the young master of the Guo family who was of similar age were also looking at her with curiosity and contempt. She ignored them, retracted her gaze, and walked towards a pavilion not far away.
They were stunned to see her so arrogant. No concubine's daughter of the Guo family had ever dared to be so arrogant!
Why is she, an unfavored concubine who was exiled since childhood, so arrogant?
Guo Hao, the fifth young master born to the eldest wife, was so angry that he laughed. Originally, he thought that this illegitimate sister was good-looking and courageous, but now her arrogant attitude made him think that she had escaped without permission before, and was definitely not kidnapped by thieves!
But no matter what, she couldn't be so presumptuous in the Guo family. She was just a concubine's daughter. She was so bold as to rebel!
"I'm asking you a question! You're a lowly concubine's daughter, do you have any respect for others? Where are your manners and upbringing?!"
Guo Hao questioned angrily, and the others looked gloating when they saw this.
Si He walked into the pavilion and sat on the bench beside it, looking at the man who looked like a young master not far in front of her. He was about eighteen or nineteen years old, tall, and plain-looking, but dressed in luxurious clothes. Although it was the first time she saw him today, she knew at a glance that he was a legitimate young master.
Because there is still a big difference in the treatment of the legitimate and illegitimate children of the Guo family. The illegitimate children do not have such luxurious clothes and decorations, even if they are young masters. After all, she has seen several illegitimate young masters before. Not to mention the problem of clothing, they are inferior in momentum alone.
"Who are you?" she asked calmly.
Hearing her question, and still sitting in the chair as he pleased, he was even more furious, his chest heaving. He shouted angrily: "Listen carefully! I am the fifth young master of the eldest house! If you know what's good for you, kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake!"
The legitimate bloodline will never allow the lowly illegitimate bloodline to challenge their status and dignity. Her attitude is a serious disregard for the legitimate bloodline and tramples on the dignity of the legitimate bloodline. This is something they will never allow!
The rules of the Guo family have always been like this. Of course, it is not just the Guo family. Most families outside are like this. There is a clear distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and between superiors and inferiors.
The legitimate girls standing by looked at her with increasingly unfriendly eyes, all waiting for Guo Hao to deal with her.
The other illegitimate girls and young masters all looked on in silence with varying expressions.
"Are you the troublemaker who needs the Guo family to send people and money to redeem you?"
Her words were sharp and ugly, not giving him any face at all. When these words came out, not only was he stunned, but everyone else was also stunned. Obviously, they didn't expect her to be so bold. A concubine's daughter dared to insult the legitimate young master like this!
Guo Hao was stunned for a moment, then he became furious and pointed at her, "You lowly bitch! What did you say?!"
Si He raised the corner of her lips in a cold smile. "Born in a merchant family, even if you are the legitimate child, how noble are you? Am I wrong? When mother took us out to 'see someone' before, wasn't it just to use us to clean up your mess?"
Guo Hao's face flushed with anger. "This is outrageous! You lowly bastards are only of this little use, you should be thankful you're not trash! The Guo family feeds you well, you should be grateful, but you're truly audacious! How dare you disrespect a legitimate child, disrespect your brother? If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'll write my name backwards!"
"Someone! Capture her for me!"
As he said this, he ordered his followers to take her away.
Si He said calmly, "Gao You, Gao Zi."
The two maids immediately put their bags aside and stood in front of her, looking like they were protecting their master. At this moment, their auras immediately changed, and one could tell at a glance that they were martial artists.
