Poor Lady Chapter 15: Don’t marry

Back home, Qi Surong found out that Gu’s father came to visit, apparently to discuss the marriage between Gu and Qi’s family. Although it was a month or two later than she remembered, the one who should come still came.

Qi’s mother was shocked when she saw her son and daughter in distress, and asked what happened? Qi Surong just said that Subao accidentally fell into the lake and had to be rescued by Gu Jinyun. She didn’t say that this was done on purpose, so as not to worry about her mother. Fortunately, Su Bao was fine, so Mother Qi gave up after a few reprimands.

Although Qi Surong didn’t know who the villain she bumped into was, but when she saw Liu Muhan later, she had some suspicions in her heart. Liu Muhan appeared, and his sister Liu Qian’er should also be nearby. In the previous life, Liu Qian’er did not have any confrontation with Qi Surong, but she and Luo Yanyi had a close relationship. With Luo Yanyi’s stupid character, she would not make the Qi and Gu families into a mess. There must be someone behind her. Instigated by an “expert”, and this “expert” is probably Liu Qian’er.

Qi Surong soaked herself in hot water and exhaled lightly. She used to have an unpleasant personality and offended others without knowing it, but now she can only taste the bitter fruit herself. But she couldn’t figure it out, what kind of enmity did she have with Liu Qian’er? Liu Qian’er is the daughter of the Taiwei, and her power and status are even higher than that of the Qi family. No matter how arrogant she is, she will not despise the daughter of the Taiwei. Did she guess wrong? Isn’t the person behind Luo Yanyi Liu Qian’er?

Shaking his head, Qi Surong temporarily put aside these distracting thoughts, finished his bath, dressed neatly, and went to the living room to visit the Gu family father and son.

Father Gu is very satisfied with Qi Surong, who is beautiful and graceful, and well-mannered. After seeing the ceremony, Qi Surong returned to the room and did not eat at the same table with them.

Mother Qi came to the room to accompany her, and asked tentatively: “Rong’er, what do you think of Mr. Gu?”

“Very good.” Qi Surong replied flatly while eating.

Seeing her lukewarm appearance, Qi’s mother cautiously said: “Although Mr. Gu looks a little scary, but he is handsome and strong, he is also a good candidate for a good son-in-law.”

Qi Surong didn’t reply and continued to eat.

Qi’s mother said again: “Mother knows that you may feel aggrieved. With your status, it is not too difficult to marry a relative of the emperor, but this is different from the past. Your father and General Gu have an appointment. Our family There is absolutely no reason to refuse this marriage.”

“Mother, I won’t marry him.” Qi Surong replied firmly.

“Why?” Qi’s mother thought for a while and asked, “Is it because of his status as a businessman?”

Qi Surong remained silent.

Qi’s mother sighed: “Mother knows that you have always looked down on businessmen, but this Mr. Gu is a scholar, quite knowledgeable, different from ordinary vulgar people.”

“Mother, we are now doing business as a businessman, how can our daughter look down on him?” Qi Surong put down the bowl and chopsticks with a slightly sad expression.

“Why is that?”

Mother, his daughter had been husband and wife with him for ten years, and in the end, it was of no benefit except to implicate their family, make him wander and suffer for half his life.

How could she marry him with all her debts?

Besides, after leaving home, I don’t know if my parents and younger brother will die as depressed as they did in the previous life? If history repeats itself, what face does she have to live alone in this world? Even if they want to marry, at least they have to wait for the Qi family to erase their stains and gain a firm foothold in the capital again.

“Mother, I won’t marry him.” Qi Surong repeated again.

Qi’s mother sighed: “Your father has the right to decide on this matter. If he agrees, you may have to marry.”

“Mother don’t have to worry, I will discuss it with my father.” She was confident in persuading her father to give up the idea of ​​marrying her for the time being.

The father and son of the Gu family didn’t leave until they were settled. The two families talked happily and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After the guests left, Qi Surong found his father and mentioned the matter.

Qi’s father pondered and said: “Then Gu Jinyun is very satisfied with being a father in all aspects, but it is a pity that he is a businessman.”

“So, father doesn’t intend to agree to this marriage either?” Qi Surong looked at his father.

“In the past, Dad would not want to, but now…” Qi’s father hesitated.

Qi Surong hurriedly said: “Father, my daughter is still young, so this matter can actually be delayed for a year or two.”

Qi’s father was silent.

Qi Surong changed to the strategy of mourning soldiers, and begged: “Father, my daughter begs you, don’t marry her off so soon.”

“Okay, okay, don’t shake it anymore, my head is almost dizzy from your shaking.” Qi’s father looked helpless. He was also quite hesitant about marrying his daughter into the Gu family, and now his daughter agreed to her request.

“Did you agree?”

“Well, you’re only sixteen years old, and it’s not too late to marry when you’re eighteen.” It’s most suitable for ordinary people’s daughters to marry at sixteen, but wealthy families often stay a year or two longer.

“However,” Qi’s father said again, “I wonder if the Gu family is willing to wait? His eldest son will be twenty and three this year, right?”

“If he doesn’t want to wait,” Qi Surong lowered his head and murmured, “then he has the right to ignore this marriage. From now on, the marriage of men and women will have nothing to do with each other, so it’s okay.”

The next day, Qi’s father sent a letter to tell him that the marriage was scheduled for two years later. It took two days for the Gu family to reply to the letter, and it was Gu Jinyun who personally delivered the letter to Qi Surong’s room.

At that time, Qi Surong was drawing, when he suddenly saw a man appearing in front of the desk, almost piercing the paper.

“You…” She stared at Gu Jinyun for a while, then asked, “How did you get in here?”

“The girl is not here, and there are no guards.” Gu Jinyun answered frankly.

So you broke into your daughter’s boudoir openly? Your Excellency can be regarded as a well-read person, is Meng Lang’s move really good?

“Why two years?” he asked.

“I’m young.” Qi Surong replied.

Gu Jinyun sized her up indiscriminately. She has a beautiful appearance, a well-proportioned figure, and well-proportioned bumps…

“What are you looking at?” Qi Surong felt a layer of goose bumps on his back, the man’s gaze was as real as it was, too presumptuous.

The woman in front of him is his fiancée, so he wants to look at her and get close to her.

Gu Jinyun looked away calmly and said, “I don’t accept this reason.”

“Whatever you want.” Qi Surong lowered his head and continued drawing, deciding to ignore him.

“Why two years?” he asked again.

Qi Surong didn’t raise her head, and continued to remain silent.

“Why two years?” he insisted.

Qi Surong frowned slightly, then fell silent.

“Why two years?” He asked persistently.

The fingers holding the pen tightened.

“Why…”

“Young Master Gu!” Qi Surong finally couldn’t help but raised his head and glared at him, “Can’t you change the question?”

“Okay.” Gu Jinyun paused, then asked, “Why two years?”

Qi Surong finally failed and threw the pen at him viciously.

Gu Jinyun caught it quickly with his eyes and hands, but his clothes were splashed with ink.

He opened his mouth without changing his expression, “…”

“Shut up! There is no need to discuss this matter, two years, it must be two years!” Qi Surong slapped the table and shouted aggressively.

Gu Jinyun looked at her pretty face flushed with anger, feeling a little hot in his heart.

Qi Surong took a deep breath, tried hard to recover his demeanor, and said with a smile: “Mr. Gu, can I trouble you to leave the little girl’s boudoir? I’m afraid there will be something wrong when the servant girl comes back to see you later.”

“Then I’ll come back another day.” Gu Jinyun put a letter on the table, “This is my father’s reply to General Qi, please pass it on.”

“Yes.” Seeing that Gu Jinyun was about to leave, Qi Surong suddenly stopped him as if thinking of something, “Wait.”

Gu Jinyun stopped and turned to look at her.

Qi Surong took out an object wrapped in silk from the cabinet, handed it to him and said, “Thank you for the wound medicine and lotus seed soup.”

Gu Jinyun took the object and opened the silk cloth to see that it was a clean porcelain cup.

“You know.” He said with certainty.

Qi Surong looked away and said: “The things in the cup are a thank you gift.”

Seeing that Gu Jinyun stretched out her hand and was about to open the lid, she hurriedly said, “Go back and see.”

So Gu Jinyun withdrew his hand, rewrapped the porcelain cup, nodded to her, turned around and stepped on the window sill, jumped out, and disappeared into the yard after a few jumps.

If you don’t know him well, most women will probably be frightened by his unscrupulous behavior…

When Gu Jinyun returned home, he immediately opened the lid of the porcelain cup and took out the contents. It was a neatly folded piece of rice paper, on which were listed the names of dozens of herbs, and at the end it was written: Take according to the prescription, Can help sleep.

Surprise flashed in his eyes, how did she know that she often suffers from insomnia? Even if he fell asleep, a small sound would wake him up. Therefore, his expression always looks a little stiff, all due to lack of sleep and mental tension. He had seen many doctors and used several prescriptions, but unfortunately none of them worked, and finally nothing happened.

How did Miss Qi know about this? Could it be just a coincidence?

Gu Jinyun stared at the prescription for a long time, and did not come back to his senses until the six sons called out.

He handed the prescription to the six sons, and said: “Fry one before going to bed.”

That night, after Gu Jinyun drank the medicine, his stomach was warm. I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but he slept very comfortably.

In the last life, Qi Surong was fortunate enough to meet her mentor, who saved her from the brink of death and extended her life for two years. The so-called good doctor after a long illness, Qi Surong also learned some ways to keep in good health from his master.

In this life, whenever she has time, she will cook a few cups of medicinal soup for her parents to help them recuperate their bodies. My mother has a timid personality and is prone to depression; my father is addicted to alcohol and has fought for several years, which has caused many diseases. Qi Surong wished them good health and a safe life.

However, she paid attention to other people’s affairs, but ignored herself. When she came back from the temple that day, Subao was fine, but she caught a cold and didn’t feel unwell until two days later. Fever all over the body, shortness of breath, lying weakly on the bed.

In fact, ever since she was reborn, Qi Surong has been making plans for her family. She has decades of extra life experience, but her current body is still just a spoiled girl who is only sixteen years old, and the result of overdraft is that she is sick like a mountain.
