Chapter five hundred and fiftieth, the chassis is lifted
The carriage of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion stopped at the parking lot of the Jingyuan General Mansion, and Yu Xijiao helped Mrs. Zhou get out of the carriage.
"I've met Mrs. Zhou, I've met Miss Yu." As soon as I got off the carriage, I heard a soft voice. When I looked up, it was Xu Cheng's cousin.
Yu Xi narrowed her eyes delicately and looked at this person, followed by two maids and two women. For those who didn't know, she really thought she was the daughter of the family, not the cousin who lived here.
girl.
"Mrs. Zhou, this is our cousin's surname Qin." The mother-in-law on the side introduced her hurriedly.
Is this the concubine to be brought in? After Mrs. Zhou looked Qin Yueyi up and down, she nodded noncommittally and walked inside.
"Miss Yu, we meet again." Qin Yueyi deliberately took a few steps back and winked at Yu Xijiao, which seemed a bit familiar.
It was as if the two people had known each other before.
Yu Xijiao seemed not to have heard Qin Yueyi's words, and helped Mrs. Zhou to walk in without changing her expression. The smile on Qin Yueyi's face froze.
She glared at Yu Xijiao with an aggrieved look, and a woman beside her gently pushed her and motioned for her to follow. Qin Yueyi then took two steps and followed Yu Xijiao.
Mrs. Qin, the wife of General Jingyuan, met the guests in the living room. After everyone bowed, the guests and the host took their seats. Mrs. Qin sat at the head of the table.
The guest seat should also be the side seat of the host. Yu Xijiao sat in the seat below Mrs. Zhou.
"I heard that Mr. Xu is ill. Our Lord Marquis asked me to come over and see Mr. Xu. I wonder if it's okay?" Mrs. Zhou put down the tea cup in her hand and looked at Mrs. Qin with a smile.
"This... I'm afraid it's not very convenient." Mrs. Qin coughed, as if she didn't want to say more.
"What's the inconvenience?" Mrs. Zhou asked with a smile.
"Cheng'er is very ill and is still lying in bed. Although Mrs. Zhou is an elder, it must be... a little inconvenient." Mrs. Qin said vaguely, with a sad face.
Mrs. Zhou is an elder and not very old, and Xu Cheng is an adult man. If the other person is lying on the bed, it will indeed be inconvenient, but it does not mean that he must not be able to see her.
He must bear the title of elder, and he can also be accompanied by the Qin family.
"Is it possible for Mrs. Qin to accompany me?" Mrs. Zhou also came prepared and replied with a slight smile. Mrs. Zhou has adapted well during this period. She is no longer timid about interacting with some ladies of similar status, and her behavior
Luo Luo generous.
"This... is still inconvenient." Ms. Qin shook her head and still refused, "We understand the wishes of Mr. Hou and Madam. When Cheng'er recovers, we will definitely go to the Hou Mansion to express our gratitude."
"Are you seriously ill?" Mrs. Zhou asked back.
"Under treatment." Qin said vaguely.
"What did the doctor say?" Mrs. Zhou asked again.
"You have to take good care of yourself. If you are not in good health, it's best... if you have any happy events, you can celebrate." Mrs. Qin also knew that Mrs. Zhou came over today, not just to visit the doctor, but he hesitated to bring up the topic. It was obvious that
Ms. Qin was forced to say this out of frustration, and raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Zhou guiltily.
Happy? A good reason. Yu Xijiao lowered her eyelashes slightly and listened quietly to Qin's words.
Before coming here, she invited an imperial physician to come over. If she was sick, she could see a doctor. If she was not sick, she could also invite an imperial physician to come over and serve as a witness. At least the imperial physician was a man, so it was easier for her and Mrs. Zhou to see Xu Cheng than for her and Mrs. Zhou.
The status of an imperial physician is different from that of an ordinary doctor. Since he is here, he must go in and take a look.
"Is it necessary to make a happy wedding?" Mrs. Zhou was stunned and said anxiously, this means that the problem is huge. If the wedding is not done well, it will be troublesome and the future of the girl will be delayed. This is not a small matter.
"That's what the doctor said." Ms. Qin said weakly, "The request is within these few days. We think that the marriage with the eldest daughter in the family is a serious matter and we cannot be hasty. Besides, my son is still ill.
Still, I don’t know... what will happen. If there is really... something, the eldest girl in the house will be delayed by us. "
When Mrs. Qin said this, she let out a long sigh and gently wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Qin Yueyi also lowered her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. The atmosphere in the living room became much sadder for a while.
"We have no choice. We originally thought about not telling the family beforehand, but now... Mrs. Zhou is here. If I don't tell you, there will be a misunderstanding. But if the marriage between the two families is brought forward, then... maybe
I missed the life of the eldest girl in my family, but Chenger can’t wait anymore..."
Mrs. Qin spread her hands in dilemma.
These words are really spoken from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. If something happens to Xu Cheng before they get married, although Yu Zhuqing has a bad reputation, or the marriage may be delayed in the future, there is at least hope and there is no need to be a widow in the general's mansion.
But if you get married, it is basically a lifelong matter.
"Does the eldest son agree to this matter?" Mrs. Zhou asked tentatively.
"Cheng'er is very ill now, and that's all she can do now. Sometimes she's confused, and sometimes she's awake. I really can't help it. I heard someone said there's a good way to celebrate, so I thought of this method. Cheng'er also agreed when he was awake, saying
We can't delay Miss Yu. If something happens, at least... at least the eldest daughter in the family is still fine." Mrs. Qin couldn't suppress her sadness when she said this, she turned her head and started crying.
Qin Yueyi also cried softly.
The aunt and nephew burst into tears, and Mrs. Zhou was dumbfounded.
Yu Xijiao looked at Qin and Qin Yueyi with cold eyes. She met Qin Yueyi just after entering the door. Qin Yueyi looked like a master. She clearly came here to show off her power. Now she cried sadly. It looked like she was real.
It seems like that, but because of Qin Yueyi's previous appearance, her character seems a bit false.
If this happens, how can Qin Yueyi think about it in front of her family?
"Madam General, I have something I don't know whether to say or not?" Yu Xijiao's gentle voice interrupted the sad cries of the aunt and nephew.
Mrs. Qin reacted first and wiped away her tears hastily, "I made Miss Yu laugh."
Even if the Qin family didn't know some things because General Jingyuan was away in the capital and there were few people walking around in the past, she still knew about the fact that Yu Xijiao was going to marry the prince of Qi.
"Madam, you are an elder. I shouldn't have asked this question originally, but it concerns my eldest sister's life, and I have to ask clearly. If there is anything rude, please forgive me." Yu Xijiao came up and was very polite.
"Miss Yu, you're too polite. Please speak." Mrs. Qin said gently.
"What do you mean, Madam, I'm afraid Mr. Xu won't succeed? Now, if you let the cousin of the house rejoice, do you mean to do your best to obey fate?" Yu Xijiao asked.
Although Mrs. Qin had such a meaning in her words just now, when she heard Yu Xijiao say so clearly that her son "can't survive", Mrs. Qin still showed a hint of displeasure and a little annoyed in her eyes.
"That's what Ms. Yu said." Mrs. Qin said angrily, almost losing her composure.
"My cousin, are you willing to be my concubine? Are you willing to celebrate the wedding?" Yu Xijiao looked at Qin Yueyi.
Qin Yueyi stood up and said sadly with tears in her eyes: "Yueyi is my cousin's closest relative. When I was young, I grew up with my cousin. They have different friendships. As long as I can save my cousin, Yueyi is willing to do anything."
"Yi'er!" Mrs. Qin was greatly moved.
"Aunt." Qin Yueyi cried like a tearful person.
Yu Xijiao was impatient to see the aunt and nephew acting, and waved her hand: "Mrs. Qin, what I want to ask now is, does the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion mean to break off the engagement with the eldest sister and marry the cousin in the house?
?”
The Qin family had indeed planned this at the beginning, but after settling on Yu Zhuqing, Xu Cheng was afraid that she would become a monster, so he specifically told her that Yu Zhuqing was backed by the Xuanping Hou Mansion and was recognized as the biological granddaughter of Princess Anhe.
Now there are two more sisters who are going to marry into the royal family, which will be of great benefit to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Thinking of her husband who spends more than half of the year at the border, Mrs. Qin doesn't want her son to do the same in the future. If her daughter-in-law's family is strong, her son can be transferred back to the capital early after a few years of trialling, which would be a great thing.
For this reason, the Qin family was not willing to really have a quarrel with the Xuanping Hou Mansion. This time, it was just a matter of taking a concubine. She brought her niece to the capital. She was originally a daughter-in-law, but now she can only be a concubine.
, I feel very sorry for her, but it is Qin Yueyi’s own wish, and Mrs. Qin feels that this is the best of both worlds.
She really didn't want to cancel the marriage between the two houses.
She went around in such a big circle just to let her niece in. Mrs. Qin felt that she had wronged her niece very much. Let her come in first, and she could also let her give birth to a son first, so that she could have someone to rely on in the future.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xijiao said such serious words when she came up, and her face froze for a moment.
When Qin Yueyi saw her girl's face, she immediately knew something was wrong, and hurriedly turned to Yu Xijiao: "Miss Yu, my aunt didn't mean it like this. She was just afraid of delaying Miss Yu. If you are not careful, I will take care of everything.
Well, if...if things get better, the marriage between the two families remains the same, and the eldest girl will not be ruined for her whole life."
What he said was extremely submissive. Looking at the tears on Qin Yueyi's face, it became more and more obvious that the girl in front of him was a good person and she was wholeheartedly for Xu Cheng.
Mrs. Qin nodded repeatedly as she listened, looking at Qin Yueyi's expression becoming softer and more loving.
"Mrs. Qin, do you think your niece is right?" Yu Xijiao raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Qin, then at Qin Yueyi, and asked unmoved.
"Miss Yu San, you are still young and don't understand. Let Mrs. Zhou talk about this." Ms. Qin felt that Yu Xijiao was a little more aggressive, and there was already a bit of displeasure on her face.
"General's wife, my father told me when I came here." Yu Xijiao ignored Qin's words and continued, with a slight curl of her lips, "If what we said is inappropriate, my father will come over and tell the general himself.
Madam said to ask clearly, whether the marriage between the two families is discontinued or continued is also within the father's words."
Mrs. Qin was not happy to hear this: "How could it be that Marquis Xuanping just said it? This is clearly a matter in my house, and for the sake of your sister, I won't let your eldest sister marry in these days, right?
"
Marrying in so directly is not only hasty but also makes people feel contemptuous. It means that the General Jingyuan Mansion looks down on Yu Zhuqing, and it also means that Yu Zhuqing may not be able to hold his head high in front of Mrs. Qin for the rest of his life...
"If Mrs. Qin thinks so, then the two families should break off the marriage, right? Wait until my father comes over to return all the previous gifts, and let people see that the general's mansion betrayed its trust and did such shameless and unjust things in order to take a concubine.
Let’s see if the general’s wife can cover the sky with one hand and tell the heavens what she means.” Yu Xijiao’s face darkened.
I didn't want to deal with Qin anymore, so I just flipped the chassis off to her...
