Hearing the news

Qin Youzhen was very worried about letting Mrs. Xu know that she was discussing marriage with the Sun family, not only because she was afraid that Mrs. Xu would do something before the marriage was agreed, but more importantly, she didn't want to face Mrs. Xu's anger and resentment.

After all, she was raised by Mrs. Xu. No matter how much she despised the Xu family and resisted getting married to the Xu family, she still didn't want Mrs. Xu to be sad.

But how is this possible? The Xu family wants to support the Xu family wholeheartedly, hoping to arrange satisfactory marriages for the four nephews and grandchildren of the Xu family. If the Qin family has a suitable partner, they will give priority to the children of the Qin family to marry into the Xu family.

The Qin family has no suitable person, so they will choose among the in-laws of the Qin family. Because Qin Youzhen, the head mother of the family, was raised by the Xu family, and Lu Pu is a third-rank official, the Lu family is naturally the first choice. Because Xu

She felt that she could handle Qin Youzhen, so this marriage was the one she was most confident about settling.

As long as the Xu family cannot let go of their obsession, Qin Youzhen's choice of any girl not named Xu as his daughter-in-law will arouse the Xu family's dissatisfaction. This is simply an irreconcilable conflict.

When Qin Youzhen first arrived in the capital, she heard that Xu had been treated coldly by the younger generations of the Xu family because of the separation of the Xu family, and that she had vomited blood and fell ill.

She could let her son go. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu was so loyal to the Xu family. No matter how Xu's parents treated her, she still devoted herself to planning a marriage for Xu Xiu with the Lu family.

Qin Youzhen is both disappointed and desperate. At this point, she has no other way to deal with it except concealing the truth and trying to negotiate the Sun family's marriage before Mrs. Xu hears the news. Maybe it won't take long for Mrs. Xu to

Would it piss her off? She really didn't want to face that kind of situation, but she had no choice. Lu Pu was unwilling to accept the daughter of the Xu family as her eldest daughter-in-law, and she couldn't bear the thought of her cherished eldest son being dragged down by the Xu family.

Now that Xu's family is still in the filial piety period, even if the Xu family intends to bring Xu Xiu and Lu Chuming together, it is impossible to make it clear at this time. Qin Youzhen is just catching up with the time difference. After delaying more than half a year, she finally

She found out how wrong her past thoughts were. She should have decided on the eldest son's marriage before the Xu family gave birth to a filial piety. Then her aunt, Mrs. Xu, would have nothing to say. Every time she found an excuse to marry her eldest son.

Staying in Changlu and going to Beijing alone would only serve as a cover-up. Not only could it not solve the eldest son's dilemma, but it would also make Xu even more wary.

Mrs. Xu obviously knew her thoughts and knew that she was unwilling to agree to the Xu family's marriage, but she couldn't refuse, so she tried to test her in front of her again and again, forcing her to give in step by step.

In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore and had to agree to the marriage...

Mrs. Xu, who was ill, could still bring huge pressure to Qin Youzhen. She could only face Mrs. Niu with a wry smile, and the joy that had just filled her heart almost disappeared in an instant: "Third Aunt, I... I really

I don’t know what to do. My mother-in-law is so stubborn. Although she has never expressed her thoughts explicitly, she knows that I understand what she means. I’m afraid that she will hate me when she finds out about the engagement between our family and the Sun family.

You must fall in love with me...I wonder if she will calm down if I stay in Changlu for two years? Or if I find a way to marry Miss Xu, when she has a life-long relationship, my mother-in-law's resentment towards me will disappear.

Can it be smaller?”

Niu said: "Whose son are you going to tell Xu Xiu to? What is the reputation of the Xu family now? Even decent officials can't agree, right? Why put your own face on the line for her?"

The Xu family doesn't like a woman with a slightly inferior family background. Even if Xu Xiu is really lucky and agrees to get married, in the future she will become a virtuous member of the Xu family like her aunt, causing her husband's family to complain.

Wouldn't that family hate you? And if that family refuses to help the Xu family, it will be the Xu family's turn to hate you. But in the end, you will not please both sides and become a sinner."

Qin Youzhen said somewhat sarcastically: "I see... Miss Xu seems to be a sensible person, she should be sensible."

Niu curled her lips: "When my sister-in-law was young, no one said she was ignorant. Didn't everyone say she was very virtuous and kind?"

Qin Youzhen stopped talking.

Seeing her like this, Mr. Niu sighed, patted the back of her hand and said, "You, at your age and about to be a grandmother, are still so thin-skinned. Your aunt is actually a face-saving person, even if she is really

No matter what I force you to do, I don't want to get the reputation of being forced to marry. I especially like to protect the Xu family's face. Let's talk about it... The Xu family actually doesn't have a reputation for a long time. She just refuses to admit it. However, when the Xu family was born,

She will not explicitly force you to agree to the marriage until you are filial piety. Take this opportunity to quickly finalize the marriage with the Sun family. No matter how angry your aunt is, there is nothing you can do. She has not discussed the marriage with you, so you

You can pretend to be stupid shamelessly and say that you didn’t know she meant this, and you can’t even tell her that she’s suffering!”

Qin Youzhen hesitated: "This...isn't this not good?" It felt like doing so would make Xu even more angry and hate her even more deeply. And since Xu Xiu was disliked, it would be more difficult for her to get married in the future.

Niu said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of? Your aunt loves face, and she loves the Xu family's face even more. Naturally, she will not go around shouting that Xu Xiu is disliked by you. She will just pretend that it is not the case. Even if she upsets you later, she will not

It won't be too obvious. It won't have a bad impact on Xu Xiu's reputation. Only our family can guess about the whole thing. How can outsiders know about it? Then you can think of a way to stop Zhonghai's wife's mouth.

Once you live there, the matter will be over. As time goes by, no matter how angry your aunt is, it will gradually dissipate. Is it possible that she really caused such trouble for the Xu family because of an invisible marriage?

Enemy? Isn't that too wasteful? If you really feel sorry for her, at most you can help the Xu family with other things so that no one can fault her, that's all."

As for how to help the Xu family, Niu also gave three suggestions. One is to help Uncle Xu recover after his filial piety is over, the other is to ask Lu Pu to give Xu Zheng some pointers in his studies, and the third is to get more health care.

Medicinal materials or other valuable gifts should be given to Mrs. Xu in a public way, so that the public will know that Qin Youzhen is a person who appreciates kindness and repays her kindness, so that Mrs. Xu cannot blame her for being ungrateful. After all, others have a conscience and appreciate kindness.

There are two different things in repaying one's favor and forcing those who have been favored by one to repay the favor according to one's own ideas. The former will become a good story, while the latter will only be scorned by the public. Xu will not fail to understand this truth, and will not create trouble for others.

Talking point.

As for Xu Xiu or Xu Lan's marriage, Mr. Niu advised Qin Youzhen not to get involved, as it would be troublesome. It was better to let Mr. Xu or the Xu family worry about this kind of matter by themselves. After so many years of dealing with each other,

, especially after the recent separation of the Xu family, Niu has a clear understanding of the character and behavior of the Xu family and her natal family.

Qin Youzhen listened to all Niu's words, and understood in her heart that the third aunt's words made sense. It was impossible to resolve the whole matter completely without hurting Xu's heart. Unless someone better than Lu Chuming jumped out at this time

The marriage partner was also willing to marry Xu Xiu, so that the Xu family no longer needed Lu Chuming, otherwise the Lu family would only

Revealing her intention to refuse marriage would offend the Xu family. Qin Youzhen thought about it and decided to be a little harder-hearted and not sacrifice her beloved eldest son. She was grateful to her aunt for her great kindness and was willing to do her filial piety, even if it was for

My aunt is taking care of herself in her old age, so she has no complaints. But that is her business, and she cannot bring trouble to Lu Pu and her children.

Qin Youzhen secretly gave generous gifts to her two sisters-in-law, Yao and Min, and said many good words. She also implicitly and explicitly obtained the prescription that Xu was currently taking from Yao, and based on the prescription and the imperial physician's diagnosis, she purchased

A large number of health-replenishing medicinal materials that were beneficial to Mrs. Xu, as well as a very substantial gift, were delivered to Mrs. Xu, claiming that it was a birthday gift she had given to Mrs. Xu in advance.

Xu's birthday is at the end of August. By that time, Qin Youzhen must have finished the wedding wine between Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo and returned to Changlu. However, it is not the auspicious day of Qin Jian's wedding yet, so there is no need to come to Beijing again.

. She said that she wanted to give birthday gifts in advance, and no one could say that this was unreasonable. When Mrs. Xu saw Qin Youzhen deliberately trying to please her, she just thought it was her own recent talk to her niece.

In the past, I made people soft-hearted and felt that my approach was very effective. It was not far away from Qin Youzhen's persuasion that she relented and agreed to the marriage, so she accepted the gift with satisfaction. When other female family members came to visit and express condolences, Yao and Min

She "accidentally" mentioned Qin Youzhen's filial piety, and she acknowledged it with a smile and praised her niece many good things. All the female relatives who heard about it were full of praise for Qin Youzhen.

It's just that some things will leave traces when they happen, and it's impossible to hide them completely. One day in late June, a female family member finally came to visit her. After hearing Qin Youzhen's filial piety, she sighed: "Mrs. Lu.

This character is really unspeakable, no wonder Mrs. Sun often praises her. She is so precious to her eldest daughter, but she doesn’t have two

After only a month of hard work, I was willing to marry Mrs. Lu’s son. I was extremely surprised when I heard about it. Now after listening to Mrs. Chengenhou’s words, I realized that Mrs. Sun had good taste and actually chose a kind and kind family for her daughter.

If I had met such a good family, I would have agreed quickly, otherwise, after passing this village, I wouldn’t know if this shop would still exist!”

Mrs. Xu was having her tea with her head down. When she heard this, she suddenly choked and the front of her clothes got wet. But she ignored her embarrassment and hurriedly looked up at the female guest: "What did you say? Who did you say?

My daughter was promised to Mrs. Lu’s son?!”

"So Madam doesn't know?" The female guest said with a surprised smile, "Yes, this marriage was just decided, and Madam is ill, so Mrs. Lu must not have had time to tell you? She is from the Sun family of the Imperial College.

Qian Jin is the grand-nephew daughter of Princess Xiuning. She was rewarded by the Duke of Jingguo last year.

At the chrysanthemum banquet, didn't you praise her for being so gentle, steady and polite? The Sun family has now promised this daughter to Mrs. Lu's eldest son, who just got a Geng tie. It is said that the eldest son Lu is married at a young age.

It's already been decided. This marriage is truly a match made in heaven between the talented man and the beautiful woman!"

Xu felt a mouthful of blood well up in her throat, and it might spurt out at any time.
