Chapter two hundred and forty-eight, two arguments
"How's Qing'er's marriage going?" When Yu Zhuqing's marriage was mentioned, Yu Ruiwen couldn't help but asked hurriedly.
"This is also my fault." Mrs. Qian sighed, "After meeting Mrs. Xinkangbo, I and Mrs. Xinkangbo sat on the side and talked. I am not in good health and can't walk too far. It's best to sit on the side and talk.
, but the eldest girl is young and can’t sit still, so I let her go for a walk, and the third girl went to the front to enjoy the scenery early.”
"The eldest girl has always been gentle and doesn't like to talk much. I was worried that the eldest girl would not be safe alone, so I asked the second young master Chu to follow him. There is no need to follow closely, but be careful from a distance to avoid collision with others.
Just be a big girl."
Mrs. Qian sighed again when she said this: "Who would have thought that the eldest girl almost fell into the water when she was crossing the bridge? Mr. Chu is a good man. He saw a woman falling into the water from a distance and rushed over to rescue her.
Someone rescued me, who would have thought..."
"Why did you fall into the water?" When Yu Ruiwen heard this, he couldn't sit still and asked anxiously.
"I heard that someone dropped some unknown oil on the bridge, and it happened that all the people on the bridge fell into the water." Mrs. Qian calmly pulled everyone in.
With so many people, it's impossible to plot against one person.
"Who would have thought that the person he rescued was a man, but a woman's clothes happened to fall on him. Everyone thought it was a woman. Mr. Chu even thought that this person was a big girl, and made a big fuss.
What a joke." Mrs. Qian continued.
"Did Zhuqing fall into the water?" Yu Ruiwen asked worriedly.
"No, the eldest girl is happily staying with the third girl. It was Mr. Chu who made a big joke. I'm afraid this matter... will eventually involve the eldest girl." Mrs. Qian sighed and suggested.
"Why? If you don't mean that Zhu Qing is fine, why did it happen to Zhu Qing?" Yu Ruiwen didn't understand the twists and turns here.
"Master Marquis, Mr. Chu has made such a big joke and will definitely become the laughing stock of the capital. Some people may even say that his intentions are irregular. There are many people who fell into the river. Why did he save just one 'woman'?"
Mrs. Qian said.
"Isn't he a man?" Yu Ruiwen didn't understand.
"It's a man, but many people mistakenly admitted it at that time and thought it was a woman. Mr. Chu went straight to rescue him. People who didn't know the inside story thought that Mr. Chu had ulterior motives. I believe Kangbo Mansion is also a respectable family, so he must not
This kind of rumor will spread." Mrs. Qian suggested.
"What will they do?" Yu Ruiwen understood and said with a bad look.
"The blind date between the two families will definitely be told, so that others will understand that Mr. Chu was following the eldest daughter at that time. He thought that the eldest daughter had fallen into the water. How could he not save the eldest daughter first? You can't save others first!"
Mrs. Qian said.
This statement sounded very reasonable, and Yu Ruiwen remained silent and did not speak.
"Master Hou, this matter is mainly due to my poor health. If I had stayed with the eldest girl, such a thing would not have happened." Mrs. Qian blamed herself.
"It's not your fault. You're not in good health. It's not easy to go over and help with the visit this time. Why would you be allowed to follow Qing'er? But... what's the result of this visit?" Yu Ruiwen frowned.
If Yu Zhuqing is also interested in her, this matter is really not a big deal. Once the blind date between the two families is mentioned, Chu Zidan will not let people misunderstand that he is looking for other people's girls and has other agendas.
I'm afraid that if Yu Zhuqing doesn't like it, this matter will be difficult to handle.
"I don't know about this matter. The eldest girl has her own ideas and is not close to me. I asked her just now, but she just shook her head and didn't say anything. Seeing that there were many people at the time, I didn't ask any further questions.
, Judging from the eldest girl’s appearance, she must have talked to the third girl, so the Marquis might as well ask the third girl later.”
Mrs. Qian pushed everything away.
After saying that, he reached out and covered his chest: "Master Hou, it's up to you to make your own decision on how to deal with this matter. I believe that the Kangbo Mansion will definitely speak out about this matter and clear the reputation of Second Young Master Chu."
"No!" Yu Ruiwen was anxious.
Mrs. Qian took a few deep breaths and looked more and more unable to hold on, but she was still helping Yu Ruiwen with advice: "This matter... you have to ask the eldest girl first. I just believe that Kangbo Mansion..."
"I have to ask the old lady to help me talk about it first, so that Xin Kangbo Mansion can suppress the matter." Yu Ruiwen had no choice but to look around and see no one he could rely on. Only the old lady with the money in front of him was more reliable.
There are no elders in his Xuanping Hou Mansion, and now that the Qian family is also banned, there is only one aunt who can handle things, which is really inconvenient.
"This matter... I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle." Mrs. Qian said, then she looked at Yu Ruiwen who looked anxious, stretched out her hand and pressed lightly, "Don't worry, I can't just watch a good thing turn into a bad thing, I will try to reconcile with Mrs. Xin Kangbo
Let’s talk about it, it’s just that her face was livid when she left, so she must be very concerned about this matter.”
"Thank you, madam." Yu Ruiwen became more anxious as he listened and said hurriedly.
"This is nothing...you don't have any elders in your family, I have to think about it for you." Mrs. Qian coughed lowly.
Hearing what she said, Yu Ruiwen was even more moved. Mrs. Qian was really very good to him. In the past, elders were required to intervene in matters in the mansion, but whenever he sent someone to ask for her, Mrs. Qian did not refuse. Now she is not in such good health.
No matter what, I still work hard for myself.
"...Thank you." Yu Ruiwen's voice was choked with sobs.
"Don't say such things, why should the whole family see each other outside?" Mrs. Qian smiled more and more kindly, "I have told you this now. You can ask the eldest girl, or the third girl, what you want. I will go back first.
We will also send people to contact Xin Kangbo Mansion, and if there is any news, we will send someone to inform you."
"Okay." Yu Ruiwen was grateful and helped his mother-in-law to lift Mrs. Qian up. Looking at Mrs. Qian's back as she staggered away, she felt guilty and relieved.
The old lady was in poor health and she was so old, so she had to make things difficult for her.
It sounds like Mr. Qian is not living up to expectations. If Mr. Qian is a good person, why does he need to be like this...
"Master Marquis, the third girl is here." The boy came in to report.
Yu Ruiwen was about to get up and look for his third daughter. When he heard that Yu Xijiao was coming, he sat down again and said, "Let the third daughter come in."
Yu Xijiao washed herself and changed her clothes, then came in and bowed to Yu Ruiwen: "Father."
"You came just in time. How are you... eldest sister?" Yu Ruiwen hesitated for a moment. In fact, the younger daughter is still young, so it is not appropriate to talk to her about this matter.
But he didn't tell his younger daughter that Yu Ruiwen couldn't even find anyone. He couldn't just go and ask his eldest daughter as a father!
Once again, I lament that the house still lacks a kind-hearted wife.
"Father, eldest sister feels that it is not good to trust the second young master of Kangbo Mansion." Yu Xijiao did not refuse and said bluntly to Yu Ruiwen.
"Not interested?" Yu Ruiwen understood and frowned deeply.
"Father, this Second Young Master Chu is really not very good. When he saw a woman falling into the water, he swam over with all his strength and brought her to the shore. He kept talking about the eldest sister's name, for fear that he would not know this.
She is like a big sister, how can a big sister marry such a person?"
Yu Xijiao said angrily, "In front of so many people watching the fun, Mr. Chu kept saying the name 'eldest sister'. Is this because he wanted to ruin the eldest sister's innocent reputation?"
"He keeps calling your eldest sister's name?" Yu Ruiwen was surprised, Mrs. Qian didn't say this just now.
"Yes, in front of so many people, I spoke very loudly and called the servant loudly. If the eldest sister hadn't been really fine at the time, and if I hadn't asked Mingyue to raise her voice to ask the second Young Master Chu, I'm afraid you wouldn't have heard it now.
What we came across was the incident where the eldest sister fell into the water. The three of them became tigers. If many people said it, they naturally thought it was true."
Yu Xijiao said angrily, her little jade-white face turned red with anger.
"Didn't you mean... that you thought your eldest sister fell into the water, and he followed you from a distance to protect your eldest sister?" Yu Ruiwen said hesitantly. The meanings he got from the old mother-in-law's mouth and the youngest daughter's mouth were different, although
There are some similarities, but I always feel that each of them has pressed important news.
"Father, you are following the eldest sister from a distance. Do you need to say such words on purpose? Do you need to make people misunderstand that it is the eldest sister in the water? Do you need to cause trouble in the city?" Yu Xijiao asked back, and then her tone became calmer, "Father, think about it.
, if it was the eldest sister who really fell into the water, how would she still have a reputation nowadays, and I suspect...this matter is aimed at the eldest sister."
Yu Xijiao said affirmatively.
Yu Ruiwen was startled: "How could I target your eldest sister? Although there are oil stains on the bridge, it may be that the person in front accidentally fell there, and many people fell into the water at that time." Yu Ruiwen's heart skipped a beat.
"Father, did Mrs. Qian say that I actually left early?" Yu Xijiao was not in a hurry to explain.
"I told you, if you can't sit still, go to the front and enjoy the scenery first." Yu Ruiwen said, Mrs. Qian actually said it just now.
"I went over first. When I went over, the bridge was still fine. I didn't have anything to see. I was waiting at the willow tree on the other side for my eldest sister to come over. Later I saw a lot of people coming and going on the bridge.
, nothing happened. It can be seen that at that time, the bridge was in good condition and there was no oil. But just a short time before the eldest sister crossed the bridge, a suspicious woman passed by with a basket in her hand. "
Yu Xijiao said that she was among the willow branches at that time. The willow trees over there were big. She stepped back and saw a woman passing the sedan chair with a basket in her hand. She stopped at the bottom of the bridge.
It seemed that the hand was changed, and she didn't care at the time. Now that she thinks about it, that's how the oil came from.
"Father, in addition to these, my daughter has another piece of evidence." Yu Xijiao continued after telling what happened above.
When she went to Qingyu Tower, she knew something was going to happen. Mingyue told her that Huaibao had prepared two men for her and said she could borrow them. Yu Xijiao thought about it and borrowed them.
She guessed two possible places, each with a person placed there, and the first place beside the bridge at the entrance...
