Chapter 395 Unruly
"Just say it directly if you have something to say. Don't beat around the bush in front of me." Cheng Yun'er knew her younger brother very well. He would never come to her house without a reason, and what's more, he spoke so pleasantly today.
"Look, sister, you said it as if I can't come to your place even if I have nothing to do." Cheng Kun sat on the stool and threw the white jade fan on the table casually. Then he picked up the teacup without hesitation and drank the tea in it.
"Okay, since you've come to see me, go back. I'm going to practice calligraphy later." Cheng Yun'er raised her eyelids slightly and looked him up and down.
"Stop! I just got here and haven't even sat down yet, why are you starting to chase me away?" Cheng Kun didn't take it seriously and had no intention of leaving.
"Then just get straight to the point." Cheng Yun'er turned her face away and stopped looking at him.
"Oh, I suddenly remembered that it's really a small matter." Cheng Kun seemed to have suddenly thought of something?
Cheng Yun'er ignored him and waited quietly for his next words.
"It's like this, sister. You know I'm not young anymore. My father has urged me to get married many times. I was young before, but now that I'm grown up, I naturally have to listen to my parents." Cheng Kun said in a high-sounding manner.
"Which girl do you like? Just ask your father to send someone to propose marriage. Why are you looking for me?"
"Of course I have to look for you. I have only met that girl once, and I would like to ask my sister to help me act as a matchmaker." Cheng Kun had a flattering smile on his face.
"Which girl do you like?"
"Li Xiaoxiao, she came to our Prime Minister's Mansion not long ago."
"You said you wanted to marry Li Xiaoxiao?" Cheng Yun'er's face became serious and she turned to look at him. She didn't expect that her brother actually liked her.
"Yes, it's Li Xiaoxiao." Cheng Kun nodded hurriedly.
"You have to think about it carefully. Li Xiaoxiao is a girl with a bad temper and she has martial arts skills. Can you control her?" Cheng Yun'er still cared a little about her younger brother.
"No matter how bad her temper is, she is just a woman. I can't let her get out of my control." Cheng Kun didn't care. It's good for a woman to have a little temper. That's more interesting.
Cheng Yun'er stopped talking and analyzed the matter carefully. She didn't like Li Xiaoxiao, and she really didn't like her for the simple reason that she was too close to Si Chengxu.
Si Chengxu was a chaste man and had never had any woman around him, but the appearance of Li Xiaoxiao made her feel a sense of crisis. Also, at the very beginning, her aunt, who was Si Chengxu's mother, hinted to her that Si Chengxu cared about her very much.
Although Sun was his biological aunt, there was no need for him to let her live in his house for such a long time.
As far as she knew, Li Xiaoxiao's shop was making a lot of money. He had earned a lot of money, but he still stayed there and refused to leave. He must be trying to take the opportunity to get close to Si Chengxu.
Si Chengxu belongs to her alone, and no one can snatch him away from her. She has liked Si Chengxu since she was very young, and she has decided to marry only him.
There is no doubt that Li Xiaoxiao is indeed very beautiful, and she is also very talented. If she spends every day with Si Chengxu, it is possible that she will fall in love with him over time.
That's why she used Qiao Yueru to deal with Li Xiaoxiao again and again. However, Qiao Yueru was as stupid as a pig and was fooled by her every time.
Now Qiao Yueru is completely useless and can no longer be relied on. Unexpectedly, her brother actually came to her today to talk about this.
Letting Li Xiaoxiao be her sister-in-law is not a bad idea. First, her brother likes her. Second, although Li Xiaoxiao's family background is not good, she is the granddaughter of the marquis's mansion after all. If she is betrothed to her brother, her status will be acceptable.
The third one is the most important. It can not only solve her biggest worry, but also allow her to teach Li Xiaoxiao a lesson from time to time through her brother.
It can be said that this is the best of both worlds, but she then thought that Li Xiaoxiao was too strong-willed. If she came directly to propose marriage, the possibility that she would agree would be small, or she might even refuse outright.
Although his younger brother is the legitimate son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he only holds an idle job and has no real power. He is not as good as Si Chengxu, who is a great general. Comparing him with Si Chengxu, it is obvious who is better.
In this case, we must not act rashly so as not to alert the enemy. We must not let Li Xiaoxiao know about this, and we must not force her to agree.
What should be done? As long as Li Xiaoxiao gets married, she can leave Si Chengxu's house and completely sever the connection between the two of them.
Cheng Yun'er stood up from her seat with a worried look on her face. She had to think of a good way. This matter had to succeed in one go, but how should she do it?
With his brows slightly wrinkled and a serious expression, he walked back and forth in the room. Li Xiaoxiao had only seen her brother once. I wonder if Li Xiaoxiao still has any impression of him?
The possibility of her willingly marrying my brother is very slim, as her character is obviously unruly.
Cheng Yun'er walked back and forth in the room, leaving Cheng Kun puzzled. What was his sister doing? She looked as if she was filled with deep resentment.
He just said that he wanted to marry Li Xiaoxiao. Is it necessary for sister to be so cautious?
After a long time, Cheng Yun'er's eyes suddenly lit up and she thought of a good idea. As long as this matter was done, Li Xiaoxiao would have to marry whether she wanted to or not, and then she would have no say in the matter.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Kun asked curiously.
"You just said that you wanted to marry Li Xiaoxiao, so I am naturally trying to find a way to help you marry her." Cheng Yun'er had a determined look on her face.
"Have you come up with a good idea?" Cheng Kun immediately became interested. He had wanted to marry Li Xiaoxiao for a long time, and he had asked many people to inquire about Li Xiaoxiao.
Born in a peasant family, he had no status in the capital, and he didn't even have a place to live. The reason why he didn't mention it before was that he was afraid that his sister would not agree with this matter.
After all, for an official family like theirs, whether marrying a wife or taking a concubine, they all pay attention to the matching of social status. Their family and Li Xiaoxiao's family are very different.
The reason I came to see her sister today was just to test the waters and see if she might agree. I didn't expect that she would agree so readily.
"Well, if you want to ask your father for help in this matter, I can't help you." Cheng Yun'er thought for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Okay, sister, just tell me. As long as I marry Li Xiaoxiao, you will definitely benefit from it." Cheng Kun was so happy that he thought it would be difficult, but it turned out to be so easy.
My sister has agreed, so there shouldn't be any problems with my parents.
