Mrs. Qin's face changed with anger at Yu Xijiao's words: "Yu San...what do you mean, girl? Are you trying to force our family?"
"I don't dare. I just ask the general's wife to understand that if we want to break off the engagement, we won't let the eldest sister get involved. Someone has to have a reason to break off the engagement. Since the family is bent on taking a concubine, that is a ready excuse. The eldest sister's father saved her that day.
General Jingyuan, now that the two families have a marriage contract, of course the interference in Miss Qin's matter must be made public."
"First ask the imperial doctor to come over and check the matter, and then check who said it was a wedding. As for Miss Qin's matter, we need to talk about it carefully. Why does it make sense for a girl who has not left the court to live in the house of her unmarried cousin?"
Yu Xijiao sneered. She wanted to take a concubine but didn't want to break off the engagement. She took advantage of both. There is no such thing as such an advantage in the world.
Qin's lips trembled when Yu Xijiao said that.
"Madam, we also brought the imperial doctor here today. If possible, how about asking the imperial doctor to take a look?" The coldness on Yu Xijiao's face faded, and suddenly there was a faint smile again.
"The... the imperial doctor?" Ms. Qin panicked. Her son was actually not seriously ill, but he was slightly unwell before. She took this opportunity to let him lie down and recuperate.
"Mrs. Qin, the imperial doctor was specially invited by our Lord Marquis at the request of the eldest princess. He is here to take care of Young Master Xu. If there is anything, he can also be a witness. As for the happy talk, we have to ask the eldest princess what she wants.
If the illness is really that serious and the general's wife insists on having her own way, it may not be impossible."
Mrs. Zhou's words were much softer, but they only sounded softer, and the meaning behind her words was equally tough.
"Aunt!" Qin Yueyi suddenly panicked, raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Qin, and shed tears.
"How is Madam?" Madam Zhou continued to ask.
"This...it's not necessary. I just took some medicine and it might be better." Qin didn't really dare to let the imperial doctor go in to see a doctor. Once he saw that his son was not sick, but also let him know what he was thinking, the matter was over.
I originally thought that the temperament of Marquis Xuanping would be very angry when he heard what I had told him, and he would bring people over to make a fuss. By then everyone in the capital would know that his son was ill, and he wanted to celebrate it. It was obviously for the sake of Marquis Xuanping's family.
Everyone would feel happy that Marquis Xuanping actually made such a move.
At that point, everyone knows about this matter. If the son finds out, will it be possible for his own mother to be criticized in front of thousands of people in the capital? It must be said that this matter is indeed true, he is indeed ill, and he does need to celebrate.
.
Since everyone thinks so, and the General's Mansion is doing it for Miss Yu's good, and Marquis Xuanping got it wrong in the end, isn't this done?
But Mrs. Qin didn't expect that Marquis Xuanping didn't come. Instead, it was Zhou and Yu Xijiao. Before the incident broke out, they brought the imperial doctor to the house to verify the matter.
He even directly stated that if the matter was true, he would break off the engagement, and the imperial doctor would be the witness.
She took care of things first, but the follow-up was extremely cruel, and she couldn't bear the result.
Mrs. Qin really didn't expect that the trouble would reach this point, and she immediately panicked.
"Didn't Madam just say that it was not good? This imperial doctor has excellent medical skills. He often treated the Queen Mother in the past. He should be able to take a good look at the young master in the house."
Yu Xijiao continued, as if she didn't see the guilty look in Qin's eyes.
"I..." Mrs. Qin began to sweat on her forehead. This was the imperial physician next to the Queen Mother. Suddenly she remembered the other identity of the third girl in front of her, the Crown Prince of Qi. They said that the Queen Mother doted on the Crown Prince of Qi.
Now even the future imperial concubine Yu Xijiao is doted on?
Then you can’t offend even more!
"Aunt, don't worry, I... I'll go see if my cousin is asleep first, let him prepare, and then ask the imperial doctor to come over, okay?" Qin Yueyi panicked, and she knew she was going to regret it when she saw Mrs. Qin's look.
Already.
Mrs. Qin can regret it. She finally had such a chance to convince her aunt, and she would never let this opportunity slip away in vain.
She came to Beijing to marry her cousin. Now that she couldn't get married today, wouldn't she be a concubine? Why not let her enter the house? Originally, her aunt was attracted to her. If Yu Zhuqing hadn't fallen into the water and ruined her reputation before, what would happen next?
There was nothing wrong with Yu Zhuqing. She was originally a serious young lady.
The more Qin Yueyi thought about it, the angrier and aggrieved she became. She did not believe that her cousin had no affection for her at all. Now she went in to beg her cousin and asked him to pretend to be ill. He pretended to be terminally ill, not only for her, but also for her aunt.
My aunt lost her face when this rumor was exposed.
"Okay." The Qin family subconsciously agreed.
"Miss Qin, please wait a moment." Yu Xijiao stopped her.
Mingyue took two steps forward and stopped in front of Qin Yueyi.
"Miss Qin, just now General Cai's wife said that it was inconvenient for Mrs. Zhou to go in to visit Mr. Xu, so now, Miss Qin can go in to visit Mr. Xu? Didn't it mean that Mr. Xu is sick now and has been lying on the bed with his clothes disheveled?
?" Yu Xijiao asked calmly.
"I..." Qin Yueyi was shy and anxious. She looked at Mrs. Qin and cried aggrievedly, "Aunt, I really want to make arrangements. I won't go in outside. I'll have someone go in and let my cousin know.
Be prepared, it's not like Miss Yu San said."
"Yi'er." Seeing her niece's tears of grievance falling down one after another, the Qin family felt distressed and angry. She looked up at Yu Xijiao and said, "Miss Yu, no matter what happens,
It's not your responsibility as an unmarried girl to take care of it. This is the residence of General Jingyuan, not the residence of Marquis Xuanping."
Even if what he did was wrong, he was still an elder and could not tolerate Yu Xijiao's repeated attempts to undermine and force him.
"What do you mean by the general's wife?" Yu Xijiao asked with a smile.
"I..." Mrs. Qin opened her mouth, not knowing what she was going to do for a moment.
"Aunt, I'm going to see my cousin." Qin Yueyi said eagerly.
"Yi'er goes to see Cheng'er first." Qin replied subconsciously.
After receiving Qin's words, Qin Yueyi stopped crying. She stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears. As soon as she raised her hand, she pushed Mingyue and said sternly: "You bitch, get out of the way."
Mingyue stood motionless, but Qin Yueyi shook herself twice and almost fell down.
"Miss Qin, please save your worries. If you want to harm General Jingyuan's Mansion, just make a fuss. Today's matter is not something you or the general's wife can compromise by making a fuss. My eldest sister is the direct descendant of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
Women cannot be bullied by anyone who wants to."
Yu Xijiao smiled coldly, and her beautiful face suddenly sank.
Mrs. Qin was inexplicably flustered: "You...what do you want?"
"I don't want to do anything. I just want to find out about the eldest sister's matter. This matter is related to the dignity of the royal bloodline and the reputation of the royal family. It can't be just the general's wife's words." Yu Xijiao said lightly, her eyes dark.
Look at Qin.
"This...this is a matter in our house, and...Yu Zhuqing is not of royal blood." Mrs. Qin stammered in defense, but did not dare to look into Yu Xi's delicate and deep eyes. She felt inexplicably in front of her eyes.
This young Miss Yu San has an amazing momentum.
"As long as grandma admits it, eldest sister is the one." Yu Xi said coldly, and then a faint smile appeared on her face, "Besides, even if Miss Qin goes over now... it's too late."
"You...what did you do?" Mrs. Qin was startled and stood up suddenly.
"Nothing has been done. It's just that the imperial doctor should have treated Mr. Xu by now." Yu Xijiao said coldly. The imperial doctor's carriage was behind their carriage. With the identity of the imperial physician, General Jingyuan's residence did not dare to Stop, just say it was Xu Cheng's intention, and coupled with the momentum of the housekeeper, no one in General Jingyuan's house could stop him.
Qin's vision went dark and she almost fainted. She pointed outside and said in a trembling voice: "Quick... go see the eldest young master..."
"Mom, what do you think I'm doing?" A cold voice came from outside, and Xu Cheng, dressed in a brocade robe, walked in. His face was slightly pale, but he looked in good spirits, "Mother, when did I get sick? You are about to die, and you still want to make your cousin your concubine?"
"Cheng'er, I..." Seeing her son, Mrs. Qin's body shook, her expression changed drastically.
"Mrs. Zhou." Xu Cheng stepped forward to salute Mrs. Zhou, and then bowed his head to Yu Xijiao. If Yu Xijiao hadn't been here today, I'm afraid my mother would still act like a monster.
Unexpectedly, just because he felt unwell and took a short rest for two days, something like this happened in the house, and it even caused a happy incident.
"Mother, can you tell me who gave you this idea and who wants to harm our General Jingyuan Mansion?" After seeing the ceremony with Mrs. Zhou, Xu Cheng looked at Mrs. Qin and asked.
"I...I, I..." Mrs. Qin couldn't say a word.
Xu Cheng calmed down and his eyes became much calmer, "Mom, if the two families really broke off their relationship because of the cousin's matter, it was because our family had betrayed their trust and even ignored the kindness of Miss Yu's father. Mother felt that this matter How will it be handled, and what will happen to my father and me?"
"This matter... is a matter within our house and has nothing to do with... anyone else." Qin stammered in her explanation. Now that the matter has come to a point, she can only make excuses to save herself some face.
"Mom, do you think my father and I can still be fine with such a reputation? Not only Miss Yu, but also the granddaughter of the eldest princess An and the eldest princess. Do you think that the eldest princess An and the eldest princess will not cause trouble in the palace? We will really check it out then. When I came out, my mother panicked. How should I handle myself? Should I let the Queen handle me?"
Xu Cheng knew what his mother cared about, so he focused on what she cared about.
Will the Empress also come forward to deal with it? Qin suddenly felt that she had thought less before. She only thought that Marquis Xuanping would make trouble, but she never thought that An and the eldest princess would also be angry. Compared with Marquis Xuanping who was always making trouble, the palace was more What I care about is what An and the eldest princess think.
"Mom, if this matter really gets serious and the whole family is accused of bullying the emperor, I wonder if mother can bear it, or father and I can bear it?"
Xu Cheng continued speaking word by word.
When she heard that it might be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, Mrs. Qin exclaimed. She couldn't resist anymore, her face changed drastically and she was about to cry: "I...I didn't mean it. I didn't think so much, I only thought of you... You are sick, it is good to be happy, Yi'er... Yi'er is a nice person... isn't this the best of both worlds!"
Xu Cheng sighed softly: "Mom, just tell me who gave you this idea."
