Chapter 488 Puzzled
After the old lady finished her meal, Li Xiaoxiao explained to her the purpose of her visit and also told her that Li Ruolan liked Si Chengxu.
Si Yi and Si Er couldn't say anything about this kind of thing, but the old lady was different. She had a seniority and was Si Chengxu's grandmother.
"You mean, Miss Ruolan likes Chengxu." The old lady couldn't believe it.
"Yes, grandma." Li Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly.
"If that's true, if Chengxu is willing, they can get closer." The old lady said this, but she was a little worried in her heart. Why did she feel that Chengxu liked Xiaoxiao?
Chengxu likes Xiaoxiao, and Ruolan likes Chengxu too. What's going on?
"Grandma, you know, I'm a doctor. I know that if cousins like these get married, the child they give birth to will most likely have physical defects. So, they can't be together."
Li Xiaoxiao was telling the truth. In ancient times, medical technology was so backward that people didn't even think about it in this way. Even if a child born between cousins was abnormal, they would not consider the blood relationship.
"Everything you said is true." Obviously, this was the first time the old lady had heard such a statement.
"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?" Li Xiaoxiao said with certainty.
"Think about it carefully. There are many close relatives marrying in the capital. Isn't the chance of having disabled children higher than that of normal people?"
"It seems to be true." The old lady has lived to a ripe old age, and naturally she has experienced a lot of things and met a lot of people.
Thinking about it carefully, what Li Xiaoxiao said makes sense, but why had she never heard of it before?
"That's why I don't want them to be together. My sister is not young anymore, and we can't delay any longer. I can't tell her directly. So I want my cousin to find a girl he likes and get married, so that my sister will naturally give up."
Li Xiaoxiao's words made a lot of sense. Not only could Si Chengxu succeed, but Li Ruolan also give up. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
"No wonder, I showed Ruolan so many dates before, but she didn't like any of them. It turns out she has someone in her heart. Sigh, this girl always keeps things to herself. It would be great if she could speak them out."
The old lady sighed. Li Xiaoxiao and Li Ruolan were both her granddaughters. She liked them both and naturally wanted them to live happily.
Now that he knew her thoughts, and with Li Xiaoxiao's obstruction, it seemed that this marriage would definitely not happen.
Should we do as Li Xiaoxiao said and show Si Chengxu a few girls, and then Li Ruolan will give up.
But then I thought about Si Chengxu's personality. He is not someone who would give in easily. Even so, I should give it a try.
She was old enough to have a great-grandson, but Si Chengxu hadn't made any move yet. She mentioned it twice, but Si Chengxu changed the subject.
She never asked again after that. After Li Xiaoxiao said that today, the old lady's mind started to become active. She was thinking, with Si Chengxu's talent and appearance, what kind of girl could be worthy of him?
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Li Xiaoxiao in front of her. She was tall and graceful, with fair skin, beautiful looks, a good temper, and was smart and clever. It was a pity that she couldn't be her granddaughter-in-law.
She herself said that close relatives cannot marry. If Li Ruolan can't get married, then naturally she can't either.
He sighed secretly, then gave up the idea and thought about whether there was any other suitable one.
The granddaughter-in-law in her mind must be outstanding, otherwise how could she be worthy of her grandson. It was not that she was bragging, but among those of the same age as Si Chengxu, no one was better than him.
He became a general at a young age and was highly appreciated by the emperor. I think he will have great potential in the future.
After thinking for a long time, he really thought of a woman and discussed it with Li Xiaoxiao. Li Xiaoxiao nodded silently and said yes, but he felt a little melancholy in his heart.
After the two of them agreed, Li Xiaoxiao left. On the way back, she felt more and more upset and everything was not pleasing to the eye. Then, at this moment, she actually saw Si Chengxu.
The two had not met since they parted on bad terms two days ago. Thinking that the woman the old lady had told him about might soon marry him, Li Xiaoxiao became more and more upset.
Even though she was walking in the opposite direction of Si Chengxu, she didn't want to pay attention to him and turned her head to pass by him.
But Si Chengxu grabbed her arm and said in a cold voice, "Why are you being so petty?"
"How dare I? You are a great general, and I am just an ordinary citizen." Li Xiaoxiao spoke in a bad tone with a hint of anger on her face, and she herself didn't even know where the anger came from.
"Is this your attitude when you meet the general?" Si Chengxu still held her arm tightly, with no intention of letting go.
"What else? Do you want me to kneel down and kowtow to you?" Li Xiaoxiao retorted and glared at him fiercely.
"What are you doing here at the Marquis' Mansion today?" Si Chengxu did not continue the topic.
"Of course I have something to discuss with grandma. Oh, by the way, it's about your marriage. I hope you will cooperate with me." Li Xiaoxiao forcefully pulled her arm back from his hand, crossed her arms across her chest, and didn't even look at him.
"It's none of your business to interfere in my marriage affairs, so don't mention this matter again." Just a while ago, Si Er said that Li Xiaoxiao had approached him and asked him if he had a girl he liked.
I didn’t expect Li Xiaoxiao to be so persistent that he ran to the Yong’an Marquis’ Mansion to propose his marriage to my grandmother.
But he was puzzled as to why Li Xiaoxiao suddenly cared so much about his marriage.
"It's not me who wants to bring this up, it's my grandmother. If you have any objections, you can go to her. It has nothing to do with me." Li Xiaoxiao cleared herself of all blame and refused to admit that she had contributed to this matter.
"Why are you so concerned about my marriage?" Si Chengxu secretly clenched his fists, still unable to figure it out.
"I told you, of course I want to repay you, what else could it be?" Li Xiaoxiao naturally couldn't tell Li Ruolan's thoughts. As a girl, she was thin-skinned, so it was better for her not to say anything.
"This reason is too far-fetched. Try another one." Si Chengxu obviously didn't believe it.
"Look at you, you don't believe me when I tell the truth, but do you believe me when I tell a lie?" Li Xiaoxiao really wanted to leave now.
But Si Chengxu still insisted: "Then go on, say a few more."
"There's no more. Believe it or not, get out of the way. I'm leaving."
