Chapter two hundred and fifty-two, inquire, is there anything wrong with your eldest sister?
The two parties bowed and sat down, and the maid served tea again.
Mrs. Qin took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and asked with a smile: "Mrs. Xuanpinghou is not here?"
It is best for the female family members to discuss this matter first. Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Qian had already understood this and were willing to work together to stir up this matter.
With his son in front of him, there are some things that cannot be said, but there are some things that can be hinted at with Madam Xuanpinghou.
Qin was forced to come here helplessly by her son.
"Madam is unwell and has been bedridden for the past few days." Yu Ruiwen put down the tea cup with a click and said with a smile.
Mrs. Qin looked at her son and saw her son nodding to her. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and said with a smile: "I came here this time to ask the eldest girl in the house...if there is already someone I like?"
Mrs. Qin deliberately hid her thoughts and did not say whether it would be successful or not, only whether there was someone she liked.
If they didn't agree, there wouldn't be anything like today's blind date. Qin didn't know the specifics of Qingyu Tower. Ning's letter to her only said that it would make her wishes come true, and that Yu Zhuqing would fall into trouble during today's blind date.
, cuddling with a man and having to marry another man.
"Zhu Qing hasn't found a suitable family yet." Yu Ruiwen said bluntly with a smile on his face, looking at Xu Cheng with eyes full of approval. He had taken a liking to Xu Cheng early on.
Yu Ruiwen's answer made Mrs. Qin panic. Logically speaking, Yu Ruiwen should not have this attitude.
"Marquis Xuanping, I heard...that the eldest girl in the house is looking at you?" Mrs. Qin couldn't help but probe.
Xu Cheng's expression changed.
Yu Ruiwen's expression also changed slightly. He looked at Mrs. Qin suspiciously and his expression darkened slightly: "Where did the general's wife hear such rumors?"
"This... is what I heard before." Sensing her son's burning gaze and Yu Ruiwen's question, Mrs. Qin blinked her eyes uneasily and said vaguely.
"Madam, you have been in the inner house for a long time. You should know that there are certain things you should not say nonsense. Madam, please tell me clearly, who is ruining Zhu Qing's reputation?" Yu Ruiwen said coldly.
The youngest daughter has just analyzed that there are only three parties who know about this matter. It is impossible for him to say whether he believes in the Kangbo Mansion or the Qian Mansion? If he doesn't want to guess the Qian Mansion, then it is the Xin Kangbo Mansion?
The two families have not yet settled into a relationship, and they deliberately stayed outside the house to watch each other, just to prevent others from knowing about it. Xinkang's uncle's house spread the news so early? Does this mean that the blind date is almost certain?
Why did Xin Kangbo Mansion think this matter was certain? Yu Ruiwen's anger soared. Sure enough, it was Xin Kangbo Mansion's fault that Yu Zhuqing almost got into trouble.
"This... maybe I heard it wrong. Just a mother-in-law heard the rumors outside." How could Mrs. Qin tell Ning Shi, and she smiled very reluctantly.
"Mother!" Xu Cheng reminded beside her.
Qin held the handkerchief uneasily. Things were different from what she expected. She didn't know what to do for a moment. Why didn't Marquis Xuanping tell him that Yu Zhuqing was already seeing each other? Why didn't he say anything after seeing each other?
, maybe he wants to tread two boats? But even if Marquis Xuanping thinks so, some things cannot be hidden. In the end, everyone will know it, and it will only make people laugh at the Marquis Xuanping's mansion for not overestimating its capabilities.
"Mother!" Xu Cheng called softly again.
"Can the general's wife call this mother-in-law over? I want to have a good interrogation to find out who is ruining the reputation of our eldest daughter." Yu Ruiwen had no intention of letting Qin go through the family just like that, and still said.
He was surrounded by the urging of his son, and the aggressiveness of Marquis Xuan Ping in front of him.
Mrs. Qin gritted her teeth. The matter had reached this point and she had to say it today. She just hoped that Marquis Xuanping would know that her daughter's reputation had been ruined and refuse.
"Marquis Xuanping, my mother-in-law's matter is not urgent. Since the eldest girl in the house has no one she likes, how about Marquis Xuanping take a look at my son?" Mrs. Qin said with a smile, pointing at her son, feeling aggrieved again.
Embarrassing again.
Hearing Mrs. Qin mention him, Xu Cheng stood up and bowed deeply to Yu Ruiwen.
"Xu Cheng is a good person. If he is willing to marry Zhu Qing, it would be suitable." The look on Yu Ruiwen's face softened slightly. After looking at Xu Cheng, he nodded and spoke more directly than Qin.
Qin opened her mouth. She didn't expect Yu Ruiwen to speak so directly and directly tell her what she had covered up.
"Does the general's wife have a crush on Zhu Qing?" Yu Ruiwen asked after looking at Xu Cheng, without asking any more questions about the mother-in-law.
"Miss Yu is... nice, tempered... and gentle. Her father also saved our general. Our general has never forgotten it after so many years." Ms. Qin's words were not fluent, and her smile was also a little difficult.
"The general's wife is right to think so. Zhuqing's father saved General Jingyuan. If it weren't for her father, how could General Jingyuan still be alive? Both the general's wife and General Jingyuan value love and righteousness. From now on,
Zhu Qing will live a good life if she marries General Jingyuan." Yu Ruiwen laughed, very satisfied with Qin's attitude.
Mrs. Qin's face turned pale, as if she had swallowed a fly. She couldn't spit it out or swallow it. Why did she talk about getting married? She was just talking about the marriage between the two families.
I had known that Marquis Xuanping was not good at getting things done. Listening to what he said, it seemed as if he would be ungrateful if he did not propose this marriage.
"What the Marquis said is that my father and mother have always been grateful for their kindness back then and have never forgotten it over the years." Xu Cheng responded with a serious look.
"Okay...okay!" Yu Ruiwen was very satisfied with Xu Cheng's attitude, and immediately made a sound, "Then General Lao, Mrs. Lao, will invite a matchmaker to come to the house formally on a certain day. Although Zhu Qing is my adopted daughter, she is mine.
We have to prepare for the dowry of the eldest daughter of the Xuanping Hou Mansion early."
"The eldest girl is the adopted daughter of the house, so there is no need to be so troublesome." Mrs. Qin smiled very reluctantly. Mrs. Xuanpinghou hinted that Yu Zhuqing was just a maid in the Xuanpinghou House. What could she say about the eldest daughter?
, that is, it just sounds better.
"Why is it troublesome? How can I treat my eldest daughter poorly when she gets married?" Yu Ruiwen's eyes fell on Mrs. Qin, dissatisfied with Mrs. Qin's dismissive attitude, and said decisively, "Zhuqing's biological father and biological mother left this
The dowry is quite large, and our family will also prepare a share for her. She is my daughter, and she will always be her daughter since I brought her here."
Mrs. Qin pursed her lips, but she still didn't believe it.
Just as he was about to speak, Yu Ruiwen waved his hand: "It's not just me, my mother also prepared a dowry for her early."
"Princess Anhe?" Mrs. Qin was startled and sat up straight, astonished.
Everyone knew that Princess An and the eldest daughter did not like Marquis Xuanping, and they also did not like Marquis Xuanping's children.
"I have three daughters, and my mother prepared three dowries early on. Zhuqing is my eldest daughter, and my mother has given Zhuqing the most." A glimmer of light flashed in Yu Ruiwen's eyes.
Princess An and the eldest princess recognized Yu Zhuqing's identity and received more dowry than the other two girls. Is this the treatment of a true eldest daughter?
Doesn’t it mean that the servants in the mansion don’t take the identity of the eldest daughter seriously? What is she hearing now?
Mrs. Qin looked back at her son blankly, her mind was shaken, what Qian said was false?
"Mother, did someone tell you that Miss Yu is not recognized by the people in the house, and they think she is just an adopted daughter?" Xu Cheng already knew this in his heart, and seeing Qin's behavior, he asked softly.
"You said that the servants in the house... don't agree with Miss Yu's identity?" Mrs. Qin suddenly felt aggrieved. This was what Ms. Qian had hinted at that time.
"Who is it this time?" Yu Ruiwen immediately understood and asked.
"I..." Mrs. Qin opened her mouth, but she didn't know where to start.
"Mom, I asked you to propose marriage to me before, have you ever mentioned it?" Xu Cheng said calmly. He had already figured out how to say this along the way.
"I mentioned it more than once." These words reminded Qin Shi, who immediately reacted.
"Xuanping Hou, my mother mentioned it to me several times, but was rejected every time. I heard that Mrs. Hou said that the Marquis did not like me, so she refused again and again." Xu Cheng looked at Yu Ruiwen calmly.
, and bowed deeply to Yu Ruiwen, "This is my mother's suggestion again, to bring me directly to the Marquis. Don't worry, the Marquis, I will never let the eldest daughter down in the future."
"Have you mentioned it more than once?" Yu Ruiwen's face darkened.
"Yes... more than once." How could Mrs. Qin say something wrong at this time? She hurriedly followed her son and said, Mrs. Xuanpinghou's meaning didn't sound true, and she didn't want to help her hide too much now.
I felt a little annoyed in my heart. This Mrs. Xuanping Hou was really not a good person. She was trying to control an adopted daughter. What was she doing? Her horizons were too small.
Yu Ruiwen took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. Qian's words that he had vowed just now were ringing in his ears, but now they were revealed.
"I didn't say I refused directly before this happened. I just wanted to be reluctant to let Zhu Qing get married early, but I didn't expect that the general's wife misunderstood." Yu Ruiwen said.
The family scandal is not spread outside the family, and it is not convenient for him to tell Mrs. Qin clearly about some things.
"What about now?" Qin asked tentatively.
"Now I'm just waiting for the general's wife to invite a matchmaker. I originally wanted to keep Zhuqing for a few years, but the girl is older, and I'm afraid some bad words will be spread if I keep her longer." Yu Ruiwen is just a loving father now, and all his words are from his side.
What Yu Zhuqing said here.
This was considered to be a formal agreement. Even though Mrs. Qin had many questions, she still had to set a date for the matchmaker to come to her house. The matter was in a hurry, so she had to get engaged first and then discuss other matters.
After taking her son out of Yu Ruiwen's study, Mrs. Qin's brows furrowed tightly, and she felt mixed emotions. For a moment, she didn't even know whether this was a good thing or not.
Outside the door, Yu Xijiao was waiting outside. When she saw Qin and Xu Cheng coming out, she turned sideways and bowed.
Mrs. Qin also saw a young girl standing outside the door, her face and facial features were exquisite. Although she was full of thoughts, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and suddenly stopped.
"Miss Yu?" Qin asked.
She has met the other two girls in Xuanpinghou Mansion.
"I've met Madam." Yu Xijiao greeted her again generously.
"Where is Miss Yu?" Mrs. Qin's eyes flashed.
"Eldest sister is doing embroidery in the house." Yu Xi said softly.
"Is there anything wrong with you...eldest sister?" Mrs. Qin looked around and saw that her son was still a few steps away, so she hurriedly lowered her voice and asked.
