After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister’s Treasure

shook her head.
“You’re welcome.
We just happened to bump into each other.”

She thought for a moment and asked, “I think those two shrews from the Xiao family will not let you off.
Have you thought of how to deal with them?”

These words made the duo’s expressions change instantly.

They did not know how to deal with them.

If they could neither win the fight nor the scolding, what should they do?

“We don’t know either,” Mother Xiao replied bitterly and dejectedly.

Mother Xiao had a weak personality, but she was not stupid.

She looked at Shi Qingluo.
“Does Miss Shi have any ideas?”

Otherwise, she would not have asked such a question.

Shi Qingluo asked in return, “What do you think?”

Mother Xiao did not hesitate, “Miss Shi is excellent.”

But what did this have to do with dealing with those two shrews?

They could not always ask Miss Shi to help them, right?

Shi Qingluo didn’t beat around the bush and said bluntly, “Why don’t I marry into your family and become your daughter-in-law? I’ll be Baili’s and Erlang’s sister-in-law too.
How about that?

“That way, if those shrews dare to bully you again, I’ll be able to deal with them more justifiably.”

Mother Xiao and the other two were shocked.

After a long while, Mother Xiao came to her senses, “You mean, you want to marry into our family?”

Although there were many young ladies in the village who wanted to marry Zheng’er in the past, none of them had ever been so straightforward.

Moreover, after Zheng’er fainted, she heard many people rejoicing behind his back.
They said that it was fortunate that Zheng’er did not want to get married so early, or else she would have been unlucky or had to become a widow.

If Shi Qingluo had said that she wanted to marry Zheng’er in the past, she would not have been surprised.

However, the current situation in her family was self-destructive.
Why would Shi Qingluo want to jump into the fire pit?

Although she felt that she could rely on Shi Qingluo if she really married as she would be able to deal with those two shrews, she would not cheat her like that.

Hence, she sighed and said, “Miss Shi, it’s not that I’m unwilling, but you have seen the situation of my family.
If you marry into the Xiao family, your life will not be easy.”

“Zheng’er has yet to wake up, and our family still owes others more than ten taels of silver in debts.
We had also depleted our food inventory.

“Although we have broken off our relationship with the Xiao family, as long as Zheng’er is still in a coma, those people will still come and cause a lot of trouble.”

Her eyes were filled with tears as she gritted her teeth and said, “Moreover, if Zheng’er doesn’t wake up, you will be a widow the moment you marry.
We cannot treat our saviour like this.”

Although Xiao Baili and Xiao Erlang were also grateful and fond of Shi Qingluo because of the previous incident, they really could not go against their conscience and say that it was good for her to marry over.

If their elder brother was still awake, they would be willing to have such a sister-in-law and would not feel guilty.

However, their brother was in a coma and they didn’t know if he would wake up.

They couldn’t be so mean to her.

After hearing what Mother Xiao said and seeing their expression, Shi Qingluo felt that her decision was right.

Shi Qingluo expressed her thoughts very frankly.

“The Shi family wants to bury me together with Young Master Wu.
You all know that if I don’t marry out on my own, my maternal family will be my huge fire pit.

“I have a strong personality.
I’m not suitable to marry into a big family with complicated personal relationships and powerful in-laws.

“Your family is very suitable for me.

“I don’t mind the poverty and troubles your family is facing now.
I only have one request.

“If I marry into your family, you are not allowed to interfere with anything I do in the future.
It will be the best if I am the head of the family.

“In exchange, I’ll protect you and lead you towards a prosperous life.”

She continued, “I think Xiao Hanzheng will be better after taking the medicine I gave him.

“If he really can’t wake up, I don’t mind being a widow.
As long as he can live comfortably.”

It was better to make these words clear in advance.

This was her personality.
This was her intention for marrying into their family.
It was up to Mother Xiao and her two children to decide.
