Guan Yunniang lived in the west wing of the Guan family's backyard, which was similar to Uncle Guan's family's house in the east wing. It also had three rooms. The middle room was used as a small flower hall, the south room was Guan Yunniang's bedroom, and the north room was originally the room where Guan's family lived.

The residence where she got married. After she got married, this house was empty, except for some sundries.

Later, the Guan family set up a large Kang in this house along the north wall, stretching everything horizontally, occupying almost one-third of the room. In winter, the women and children in the family would stay warm here, do needlework, and talk. If there were female guests,

Come here, this is also a place to receive guests or stay overnight. The living room in the front yard is a bit cold. Mrs. Guan usually lives in the main house. Due to Mr. Guan's love for peace, it is not easy to meet relatives and friends there. Now

Mr. Guan was seriously ill and the smell in the main room was unpleasant, so Mrs. Guan directly used this big kang as her bed.

Here, the end of the kang is next to the window. The window at the end of the kang faces the courtyard, and the window at the end of the kang faces the wall. It is only three or four feet away from the base of the wall. In that little space, I usually plant some flowers and plants.

There was a bamboo pole to dry clothes. Someone was standing there talking, but the paper on the window could not block out much sound. Qin Hanzhen could hear clearly by the Kang.

After Guan Yunniang's earth-shattering question, she was answered by a male voice that was somewhat unfamiliar to Qin Hanzhen, with urgency and anger in his tone: "Cousin! Stop talking nonsense. People from the Qin family are here today, what do you say?

If you let them hear your words, wouldn’t it just cause people to misunderstand?!”

Guan Yunniang sounded very disapproving and sneered: "What am I afraid of being misunderstood? If the eldest sister can do it, I can say it out loud! She doesn't even regard me as her sister, do I still have to worry about her reputation?!

"

The man seemed to be even more angry: "I really don't know why you have so much resentment towards your cousin, and you won't let her go even if she dies. I have told you a long time ago that there is nothing wrong between me and my cousin. You

Forget it if you don’t believe it, don’t talk nonsense in front of others!”

"Do you think I will believe you when you say this?" Guan Yunniang said angrily, "You left Mizhi just after she got married. You haven't come back for eight years and you refused to marry. She just died.

Man, you just ran back and went to the Qin family to find her, claiming that you two were innocent? You thought I was a fool! My father saw you being single and planned to marry me to you, but you resisted and refused to agree.

What's wrong with me? In terms of family background, you are just an orphan raised by our family. Even if you are now a prison student, you should not dislike our family's family background. In terms of appearance, there are many girls in the county who can compare to me.

It's not impossible, but with your little family background, how dare you think of them? In terms of talent and learning, I have been studying and literacy with my father since I was a child. Even if I don't have a college degree, I can still read thousands of words, and I know how to read letters and memorize letters.

After all, the needlework girl is no worse than others. I am outstanding in everything, why don’t you want to marry me? If you don’t still miss the eldest sister in your heart, what else could it be?!”

Qin Hanzhen clicked his tongue when he heard this. Although he didn't know whether this man - who should be his cousin Wu Shaoying - really had an affair with his mother Guan, but because of his aunt Guan Yunniang's temper, Cousin Wu wouldn't know if he had any affair.

If you were smarter, you wouldn't dare to marry her.

Even though Cousin Wu was once in poverty and was raised by the Guan family, now that he is a prison student, he is a learned and capable person. He left for eight years and only recently returned. Guan Yunniang was still a student eight years ago

She's a little girl. Judging from her temper, she doesn't look like she's like her cousin.

What kind of deep love is there? After so many years of not seeing each other, how could she have the confidence to say to her cousin: You have no family and no job. Our family is kind to you. If I marry you, you will take advantage of it. You have no reason.

Refuse. If you don’t agree, you must have an affair with another woman...

Qin Hanzhen shook his head when he heard this, thinking that with his aunt's temper, even if she was forcibly married to cousin Wu, there would inevitably be rifts between the couple in the future. Having said that, could it be that the reason why Guan Yunniang was so arrogant in front of her niece?

Is it because she resents her eldest sister Guan for "stealing" her favorite husband, so she turns her anger on Guan's daughter?

Qin Hanzhen was distracted for a moment, and then he heard Wu Shaoying refute Guan Yunniang again: "I told you not to think nonsense, but you insist on getting into trouble. I had been studying with Mr. Qin for two years, and he said I was hot-tempered.

It's almost done. Let me try Tongsheng. I'll win as soon as I try.

Yes, I got the head of the case and went to study in the government school, which is what I meant. Xi'an City is a thousand miles away from Mizhi County. Since you said that I have no family, no bottom, and no money, you should understand that I have no money to return home.

The same goes for visiting relatives and not marrying a wife for a long time. Later, after being selected for the imperial examination, he entered the Imperial Academy in the capital.

Needless to say, it goes further. I studied in the Imperial College for many years, and my teachers said that I was fairly knowledgeable, but that I had too little experience and my articles lacked flavor. They asked me to study abroad and increase my knowledge. I started from the capital and planned to go all the way.

Slowly return to my hometown, visiting celebrities along the way, until I reach Suidezhou

I saw my former classmate and heard that something happened to my cousin-in-law, so I rushed back to pay my respects. Even if it wasn't for the marriage relationship with my cousin, Brother Qin is the eldest son of my mentor Mr. Qin. What's wrong with me coming back to offer him a stick of incense?

You use this to accuse me of having an affair with my cousin, which is really far-fetched!"

Guan Yunniang was dubious when she heard this: "Really? But... how can it be such a coincidence?"

Wu Shaoying said calmly: "I set out from the capital in the late spring of last year. I walked slowly all the way and arrived in Suide later in the year. If you must say this is too coincidental, could it be that I knew my cousin's husband last year?

Will something happen?"

Guan Yunniang was silent for a while, then asked angrily: "Then why don't you marry me?!"

Wu Shaoying's voice was a little stiff: "I grew up in the Guan family since I was a child. You are like a biological sister to me. How can I marry my sister as my wife? Besides, my uncle never said anything about it, but my aunt asked me privately.

stop

No outsiders know about it. If my cousin hadn't mentioned it in front of my uncle, my uncle wouldn't have been furious. Why did my cousin have to make this matter so uproar? Of course it would attract criticism to me, but what good would it do to my cousin?!

"

Guan Yunniang seemed to be willful to the end: "I don't care! Since you don't like eldest sister, why can't you marry me? Unless... you lied to me!"

Wu Shaoying's tone sounded stiffer and stiffer, as if she was holding back something: "I never lied to you, this is the truth. My cousin, don't mention this kind of thing again. Now that my uncle is seriously ill in bed, everyone in the family is worried.

Your cousin should also go to your uncle's side and show your filial piety. Your uncle and aunt will make the decision for you in matters of marriage."

Guan Yunniang was full of grievances: "I won't go! I know in my heart that you all blame me for harming my eldest sister. My father, mother, brother and sister-in-law are all angry with me. How can you blame me? I just told my father,

The eldest sister wants to steal my marriage and remarry me

That's all for you. Even if I'm wrong, it would be nice for her to speak clearly when my father scolded my eldest sister. She only cries and doesn't say anything to defend herself. How do we know that she is wronged? Not to mention.

She was known to hang herself..."

Speaking of this, Guan Yunniang felt more and more wronged: "This is all the fault of the eldest sister. It's okay to say it clearly. Why do you have to hang yourself? You also made my father angry. If my father is good now, I

If you have to keep your filial piety, you will become an old girl in three years, can you still get married?!"

When Qin Hanzhen heard this, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide. His father was very ill and was about to die, so all Guan Yunniang was thinking about was whether she would be able to get married? Isn't this... too callous?

?

Wu Shaoying seemed to have the same idea. She gritted her teeth and said, "My cousin is worrying too much. With my aunt and cousin here, I won't let my cousin worry about the marriage. You should go visit your uncle more now!"

Even Medical Officer Zhang said that my uncle is afraid that something is wrong. If my cousin has time to spare, it would be better to fulfill her filial piety in front of her uncle. Other things... really are not something that should be mentioned at this time!"

It stands to reason that Guan Yunniang should shut up when he said this. But who knows that this girl is used to being willful. When she heard Wu Shaoying's words, she became angry again: "My cousin said that, am I just thinking about it?"

Are you someone who doesn’t care about your own father’s life and death when it comes to your own marriage? What have I done wrong that you want to slander me like this? I love you wholeheartedly, forget it if you don’t appreciate it, and you’re teaching me a lesson in return, what’s the point?!”

Wu Shaoying said dryly: "My cousin misunderstood, I don't want to teach you a lesson, I just remind you not to talk nonsense in front of others. You are a girl who has not left the government, and marriage and other matters are not something you should talk about all day long.

And my cousin has passed away. As my biological sister, you should not ruin her reputation after her death, even if it is for the sake of your own reputation."

Guan Yunniang choked and said: "To put it bluntly, you just don't want to marry me, you just want to protect the eldest sister. She is dead, why are you still protecting her? You still say that you have no affair with her? You don't have an affair with her.

Will you protect her like this?!"

Wu Shaoying was silent. Qin Hanzhen was listening through the window and felt tired for him.

Guan Yunniang covered her face and whimpered twice. Seeing that Wu Shaoying didn't move, she seemed to be even more angry. She stamped her feet and said: "I know that you have been talking for a long time just to coax me. If you don't give me an explanation, I will never finish it with you!"

He turned around and ran away after saying harsh words.

Wu Shaoying stood there and said nothing for a long time.

Qin Hanzhen thought for a while, then reached out and pushed the window gently. The window leaf made a slight "squeak" sound and opened a crack easily. But she could not push the window higher because

This window opened upwards, and she didn't have the strength.

Wu Shaoying, who was standing outside the window, suddenly turned pale. He slowly stretched out his hand and lifted the window leaf, and saw Qin Hanzhen's pale little face appearing behind the window. He stood on the ground and met her eyes.

Looking, there was silence for a long time.

This was the first time Qin Hanzhen saw this cousin Wu. He was in his twenties, with a handsome appearance, a fair complexion, a thin chin, a mustache, a tall body, and a straight waist. Basically, he was a

He's a pretty handsome guy. But he doesn't look very good, with a haggard look on his face and red bloodshot eyes. He must have been having a hard time recently.

Qin Hanzhen thought about it and asked him: "Are what you just said true?"

Wu Shaoying seemed to understand what she wanted to ask: "Is it true."

Qin Hanzhen looked to the south: "I am alone in this room. Grandma took Aunt Hu to the next room to talk. I wonder if she heard it too."

Wu Shaoying's face suddenly became paler.
