The Favoured Medical Princess: 220 Rumors
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Huayanju in the south of the capital city has an endless stream of customers coming to buy rouge and gouache.
This shop is divided into two shops, front and rear. The front one is open to all customers, whether they are ordinary people or dignitaries, men, women, old and young. As for the one in the back, only those female customers who value privacy are entertained. The second one is open to all customers. I came here because I was afraid that other guests would bump into the female guests with status.
"Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Liu, please come this way!" Yimei personally led the two elegantly dressed ladies to the back.
The back room is decorated quietly and elegantly, and the decoration will be slightly changed according to the seasons.
For example, now, the two ladies smelled the faint fragrance of peach blossoms as soon as they entered the door.
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but asked suspiciously: "Shopkeeper, it's only March, where does the fragrance of peach blossoms come from?"
Yimei smiled and explained: "Mrs. Wang, this is the fragrance of the peach blossom essential oil made from last year's peach blossoms in the shop."
"This fragrance is quite elegant." Mrs. Liu also nodded and said,
"Mrs. Liu, my peach blossom essential oil does not contain much. If you are interested, you should hurry up early." Yimei said with a smile on her face, a light flashed quickly in her eyes, "Recently, Cheng Shilang's house is going to marry a daughter, which is enough. That’s enough to buy half of the peach blossom essential oil in my shop.”
"Cheng Shilang wants to marry his daughter?" Mrs. Liu couldn't help but look at Yimei thoughtfully.
Yimei nodded and said: "I heard that she is the third girl from Cheng Shilang's house."
Mrs. Liu frowned. She remembered that Miss Cheng San was the same age as her daughter. She also participated in the flower viewing party in the palace at that time. However, after the flower viewing party, Miss Cheng San was removed. , but his daughter was "lucky" to go to Qiu hunting with the imperial driver.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu was so regretful that her intestines turned blue. Thinking back to the beginning, she had made many choices to choose a good marriage for her daughter, just thinking that her daughter was still young and she still had time to choose slowly. Who would have thought that while she was slowly choosing... she actually met the prince. Choose a concubine.
Mrs. Liu has no intention of letting her daughter marry the prince. After all, as a daughter, even if she is chosen, she will barely be a prince's concubine. Her daughter was raised like a jewel by her since she was a child, so how could she understand the schemes in the back house!
I thought it would be fine just to survive the autumn hunt, but unexpectedly, an epidemic broke out suddenly, causing many twists and turns in the selection of the prince's concubine, and it has been delayed until now with no result.
Nowadays, Miss Liu can only spend so much time. Before the royal family has spoken, if she gets engaged without authorization, it will be disrespectful to the royal family. But if this continues, Miss Liu will get older and older!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu was really worried to death.
Yimei seemed to have thought of something, and said to Mrs. Liu with a smile: "Mrs. Liu, I remember that Miss Liu is fifteen this year, right? I wonder if she is betrothed to someone else?"
Mrs. Liu looked a little ugly. Mrs. Wang glanced at Mrs. Liu and sighed: "Shopkeeper, you are just talking about my sister Liu's sadness..." Then Mrs. Wang took out Miss Liu's The story was told exactly as it was, showing sympathy.
To be honest, Mrs. Wang was once jealous of Mrs. Liu, thinking that maybe the Liu girl would be lucky enough to become a princess. Mrs. Wang even regretted that she had arranged her daughter's marriage too early... But to this day , Mrs. Wang has nothing but sympathy for Mrs. Liu.
Yimei also showed a trace of sympathy on her face. She looked around and lowered her voice: "If we weren't quite familiar, there are some things I wouldn't dare to say..."
Mrs. Wang's eyes suddenly lit up, her curiosity was aroused, and she hurriedly asked: "Shopkeeper, do you know something inside?"
Yimei pretended to be mysterious and said: "I just heard that the marriage of the three princes should be finalized soon. The third prince seems to..." She paused before speaking.
As soon as Mrs. Liu heard that the prince’s decision to choose a concubine was almost finalized, her face relaxed. Mrs. Wang asked eagerly: "How does the third prince look like?"
Yimei hesitated again and said: "Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Liu, I am just telling you, you can just listen to me."
Mrs. Wang smiled understandingly: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I understand."
Yimei then said to the two of them: "I heard that the third prince seems to be marrying a girl of very low status..."
A girl of very low status! ?
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu looked at each other. How could this low-status girl fall in the eyes of the emperor, empress and Concubine Zhang? There were only a few girls accompanying Qiu Lie last time. If we go back and check, it will probably be clear...
Yimei smiled and said nothing. According to her understanding, Mrs. Wang was a well-known talkative woman in the capital. Any rumor that got into her ears would attract most of the officials and aristocratic families in the capital. I know it’s not possible!
Yimei expected it to be true. In just three days, the news that the third prince was going to marry a girl with a low status as his princess spread throughout the royal capital. This girl with a low status but had a chance to enter the palace or even How many of them are still accompanying Qiu Xie? The more thoughtful people analyzed the girls who participated in the autumn hunting last time one by one, and quickly zeroed in on Bai Muxiao, the cousin of Nangong Mansion.
There are not many girls who meet the conditions. Is this Bai girl almost the only one?
At last year's Fang Banquet, Miss Bai shocked the Xirong envoys with a heroic sword dance and made Dayu proud. The third prince personally accompanied her at that time!
Thinking about it, more and more people feel that this white girl is about to fly up the branch and become a phoenix!
It's just that this girl's status is too low... Several ladies who wanted their daughters to become princes and concubines couldn't help but frowned. If even such a girl could marry into the royal family, and their own It’s so unreasonable that my daughter lost the election!
Thus, under the intentional actions of these ladies, the rumors spread more and more widely, and even added a bit of a strange flavor——
The Bai family girl behaved inappropriately, going in and out of restaurants from time to time, and having private meetings with the third prince;
The Bai family girl has a deep love for the third prince, and she keeps saying that she will not marry unless she is the king;
The Bai family girl claimed that the third prince loved her very much and begged her to marry her as the prince's concubine;
The Bai family girl...
……
Rumors seemed to have wings, flying into the palace and even reaching the emperor's ears.
The emperor was a little unhappy, and told the queen about the rumor that had spread a lot, and said with a half-smile: "It seems that someone is thinking about my third emperor's son."
"Is there such a thing?" The queen frowned slightly and responded, "I have never heard of it."
The queen lowered her eyes slightly to cover up the strange light in her eyes. During this period, Han Lingfu suddenly changed his past style, restrained his sharpness, kept a low profile and bided his time, which won the emperor's favor.
The Queen didn’t know how to deal with Han Lingfu, but now an opportunity came to her door...
"Your Majesty, do you want to call the Third Emperor here to ask?" The Queen said worriedly, "Although it is a rumor in the market, it is groundless and may not be without reason. Maybe the Third Emperor really has someone. The girl in my heart, but because of my thin skin, I dare not tell the emperor. However, according to my concubine’s opinion, the status of this girl from the Bai family is too low, and she is really not suitable for the third emperor."
"That's what the queen said." The emperor said thoughtfully, "Due to the epidemic, the selection of the prince's concubine has been delayed for a long time. Only then did we give it to those girls who have no rules and regulations. The opportunity to cling to the prince." The emperor originally had a good impression of Bai Muxiao, but this time the rumors made him feel grudge. As the queen said, "Rumors may come out of nowhere, but they may not be unreasonable." Maybe it was this girl Bai who wanted to cling to his emperor. You did it on purpose!
The emperor frowned slightly and said decisively: "I think it would be best to finalize the marriages of the three princes as soon as possible!"
"The emperor said that it should be settled." The queen nodded quickly in agreement.
"Speaking of which, in addition to the three emperors, Brother Bai, Brother Jun, and Brother He have also reached the marriageable age." The emperor no longer wanted to think about the unpleasant rumors and was in high spirits. He said authentically, "I have to help them choose together to ensure that they all live in harmony and beauty, just like Yue Yatou and Brother Yi." When the marriage between Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi was mentioned, the emperor was in a good mood. This was his personal matchmaking, and the marriage was truly a match made in heaven!
The queen smiled and complimented: "Your Majesty's gift of marriage is naturally a God-given marriage. I think Yue Yatou and Brother Yi get along really well."
The emperor stroked his beard proudly, "My vision is naturally indistinguishable." He seemed to have thought of something, and said with some emotion, "Originally, I thought that Brother Jun of the Prince Qi family was as young as our sister Xi. They are about the same age, and they seem to be a good match. It's a pity that Brother Jun is a concubine. Otherwise, I would have decided to marry them personally." It's a pity that there is a difference between concubines and concubines. Even if the emperor has his heart, he still has to take care of it. The face of the Queen and the Duke of Enguo.
Brother Jun and Sister Xi... the queen was stunned, her eyes a little sad. It turns out that Brother Jun is indeed not worthy of Sister Xi, but now it is different from the past. Jiang Yixi's body and bones were broken due to an epidemic. Even the doctor Lin said that it will be difficult for her to have children in the future. Whether it is a wealthy aristocrat or a small commoner, for a woman, heirs are the most important thing...
The queen calmed down and said calmly: "Your Majesty, since you want to choose a wife for the prince and Brother Bai, why don't I hold a small banquet and invite the girls into the palace, as well as the Bai family Girl... How about I, my concubine, draw up a list and let the emperor take a look at it?"
"Miss Bai family?" The emperor frowned, thought for a while and said, "Queen, you can decide this matter." He paused and then said, "There is no need to think about the eldest girl in Nangong Mansion. ."
The queen was stunned, not understanding why the emperor suddenly mentioned Nangong Cheng.
The emperor seemed to see the confusion on the queen's face and explained: "After today's morning court, Nangong Qin came to the imperial study to see me. He said that his eldest daughter had been betrothed to the prince Jian'an." When it came to Jian'an Bo. Your Majesty, the emperor is very sad.
Among those noble disciples, the Prince of Jian'an was originally an extremely outstanding one. The emperor originally planned to train him and put him in a good position, but he didn't want an accident during the autumn hunting to ruin a young hero!
The emperor couldn't help but sigh: "Shilang Nangong is really proud of the Nangong family. Although the two families have been discussing marriage before, it is really not easy for Shilang Nangong to keep his promise and betroth his beloved daughter to him in the current situation of Prince Jian'an! "After all, Nangong Cheng is the eldest daughter of the Nangong family, and her appearance is extraordinary.
The queen remained silent, only feeling that Nangong Cheng and Jiang Yixi were both children with a hard life. I am afraid that Lianzi will know how miserable she is in the future!
While the emperor and the empress were lamenting, the Nangong Mansion on the other side of the capital was making a fuss about Nangong Cheng’s marriage...
In the east room of Rongan Hall, Mrs. Lin was kneeling on the cold ground with her head half lowered.
With a "pop" sound, a tea cup was thrown at Lin's feet and broke into pieces. Tea splashed all over Lin's skirt.
"Is there anyone who treats me like an aunt like you?" Mrs. Su angrily said with a cold face, "Sister Qing is the eldest daughter in the family, and you actually arranged such a marriage for Sister Qing!"
Lin's head dropped lower. She had always felt guilty about Nangong Cheng, so she did not dare to refute Su's accusations.
Mrs. Lin's silence only made Mrs. Su more and more angry, and she said sternly: "Ms. Lin, you are so unkind, how can you be the mistress of my Nangong Mansion? I want to take back your right to be a middle-income person and choose another worthy person. ."
Mrs. Lin's body trembled twice. She had no nostalgia for hosting the interview, but Su's rebuke made her feel extremely embarrassed and humiliated. She has children. If she is given such an unkind reputation, how will her brother Xin and sister Yue stand in the world in the future?
"I've seen the third girl!"
The sound of a maid saluting suddenly came from outside the house, and Nangong Yue opened the door curtain and hurried in.
"Please calm down grandma!"
After curtsying to Mrs. Su, she leaned over to help Mrs. Lin, "Mother, your clothes are wet and the ground is cold. Get up quickly and don't catch the cold. If you are sick, let the outside know If a reasonable person knows this and thinks grandma is scolding you, that would be a great act of unfilial piety."
If someone else said something like this, Su would definitely fall out, but she had to give Nangong Yue some face.
Ms. Su's face softened slightly, and she raised her hand coldly and said: "Second daughter-in-law, get up."
"Thank you, mother." Lin stood up stiffly, supported by Nangong Yue.
The weather was still cold in March. Although there was a brazier in the room, Mrs. Lin was kneeling on the ground, her skirt was wet by the tea, and her knees were cold and hard.
After Nangong Yue helped Lin sit down, she suppressed the anger in her heart and said to Su calmly: "Yueer just heard a few words outside the house. Is grandma worried about my eldest sister?"
Speaking of this matter, Mrs. Su became very angry and said, "Sister Yue, Prince Pei is paralyzed. How can he be worthy of your eldest sister? Your mother is actually good at making decisions and making decisions." With such a marriage, I simply don't care!" Su's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and her sharp arrow-like eyes shot towards Lin.
Nangong Yue looked calm and replied calmly: "I would like to ask my grandmother for advice. My mother will definitely not dare to make any decisions about my eldest sister's marriage. Since ancient times, marriage matters have been governed by the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. According to Yue'er knows that the eldest sister's marriage was decided by her uncle's father, and my mother could only act on his words at best. If grandma thinks that the eldest sister's marriage is inappropriate, she might as well find her uncle and try again. Let’s discuss it. What do you think?”
Su Shi stared with a pair of cloudy eyes, the corners of her eyes twitched a few times, her face turned green and white, but she couldn't say a word to refute.
Of course she understands that if Nangong Cheng’s marriage does not have the consent of Nangong Qin, how dare the Lin family dare to make independent decisions? The reason why she first attacked the Lin family is just to pick the weak persimmon, and at the same time she also wants to take advantage of it. Without the Lin family’s housekeeping rights, the second-in-law’s momentum is now too strong, and there is a tendency to overwhelm the eldest brother-in-law. For a family like the Nangong family, that is not a good thing...
As for Nangong Cheng's marriage, Su will naturally find another way to disturb it.
Nangong Yue didn't understand what Su was thinking. Seeing her falter, she said calmly: "Grandma, my granddaughter will take her mother back to change into clean clothes, and then she will leave first."
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door.
"Let me in! Who dares to stop me!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw Ms. Zhao, wearing an azure skirt and coat, rushing in hurriedly, followed by several maids with pale faces.
Nangong Yue has not seen Mrs. Zhao for more than half a year. She seems to have lost a lot of weight, and her body shape has become almost the same as before. She just looks several years older, her face is pale and dull, and the original tattoo on the right side of her face is The scar scratched by the golden hairpin had already healed to the point where only a faint white mark remained.
As soon as Ms. Zhao entered the room, a pair of empty, dark eyes looked straight at Ms. Lin, which made Ms. Lin's heart skip a beat.
Ms. Zhao quickly stepped forward, knelt down in front of Ms. Su with a plop, and begged: "Mother, you must make the decision for Sister Cheng!"
"Boss, wife, what are you doing? If you have something to say, please tell me!" Ms. Su said hurriedly.
"Mother, if you don't promise me, I won't get up." Mrs. Zhao sobbed and walked a few steps, "Mother, you must not let Sister Qing marry that Prince Pei. Wouldn't this ruin her life? ?!" When Mrs. Zhao heard that her beloved daughter was betrothed to Pei Yuanchen, the prince of Jian'an who was paralyzed in bed, she almost went crazy.
Ms. Zhao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said: "Mother, I did something wrong before, and I accepted the punishment. Since I returned home a year ago, I have ignored everything and never argued about anything. I went in and out of the small Buddhist hall simply to atone for my sins. I didn't want anything anymore, but I really couldn't ignore Sister Cheng's marriage! How could I watch her jump into the fire pit! ”
Zhao didn’t say anything wrong with Lin from beginning to end, but every sentence was meaningful and heart-wrenching.
Nangong Yue on the side was so angry that she was trembling slightly and said rudely: "Auntie, don't criticize others. If you have any questions, you can talk to uncle!"
Ms. Su said helplessly: "Boss, wife, please get up first."
"I won't get up! Mother, if you don't agree, I won't get up!" Mrs. Zhao was frozen in place, feeling as if there was an evil fire burning and rising in her body. Her daughter was like a pearl. Raised like a treasure, but forced to marry a paralytic, it is simply too much!
At this moment, the maid’s voice saluted from outside the house: “I’ve seen a big girl!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a blue figure walking quickly into Dongcijian, it was Nangong Cheng!
She came in a hurry after hearing that Mrs. Lin was being scolded for her marriage.
She glanced at Mrs. Lin apologetically, then knelt down heavily on the ground, looking at Mrs. Zhao imploringly, "Mom, this matter has nothing to do with the second aunt. This marriage was agreed to by the daughter herself, and the second aunt just pressed I’m just doing what my father and daughter want.”
As she spoke, she looked at Mrs. Lin apologetically and said, "Second Aunt, I'm sorry, it was Cheng'er who caused you trouble. I will apologize to you on behalf of my mother."
Ms. Lin hurriedly said: "Sister Cheng, don't be like this, get up quickly!"
Nangong Cheng did not get up, but turned to Mrs. Zhao on the spot and said: "Mother, please stop blaming the second aunt. This matter really has nothing to do with the second aunt. If mother has any resentment or anger, just blame her. Come with your daughter."
"Sister Cheng, don't be confused! This is related to the happiness of your life!" Mrs. Zhao eagerly took Nangong Cheng's hand and tried to persuade her.
"Mom, my daughter has already thought about it clearly." Nangong Cheng said again without hesitation.
Ms. Zhao's face turned pale, she clutched her chest, and her body shook twice. The maids at the side hurriedly supported her.
"Sister Cheng, you are robbing me of my mother's heart and taking my life!" Mrs. Zhao said with red eyes, "You were born in my tenth month of pregnancy, and you are a piece of me that fell off. Meat. Mom has no hope now, I just hope you can live a good life!" But why is God not willing to grant her even such a small wish?
"Mom, I'm sorry." Nangong Cheng sighed guiltily. She knew that her decision made Mrs. Zhao sad, but...she had to do this!
Su Shi was also deeply shocked. She took a deep breath, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth: "Sister Cheng, grandma asks you again, have you really thought it through?" Su Shi He has never been so harsh and harsh when facing Nangong Cheng.
"Grandma." Nangong Cheng kowtowed heavily to Mrs. Su, "This is a decision made by my granddaughter after careful consideration. My granddaughter has no regrets!"
Su looked at Nangong Cheng with a sinking face and said nothing.
"Grandma, Nangong Mansion and Jian'an Bo Mansion have discussed marriage before. My granddaughter cannot regret breaking off the marriage proposal just because something happened to Prince Pei now." Nangong Cheng looked at Su with firm eyes and kowtowed again, " Please ask grandma to help you."
Want to fulfill it yourself? ! Su's heart was filled with anger and bitterness, and she felt that all her loving heart was being treated like a donkey's liver and lungs by Nangong Cheng.
"Are you determined?" Su pointed at Nangong Cheng with trembling fingers.
Since she was a child, Nangong Cheng has never violated Su's wishes. Su never thought that Nangong Cheng would have different intentions with her on this important matter of marriage.
Before Nangong Cheng could speak, Zhao had already pulled her sleeve and said urgently: "Sister Cheng, I know you are kind and feel that Prince Pei saved you, so I want to repay you, but you can't risk your life. Go repay the favor! We can find other ways..." Mrs. Zhao seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she said happily, "By the way, I can let Sister Yan marry you instead. Although Sister Yan is a concubine, But she is also a girl from Nangong Mansion, so it does not count as humiliating Prince Pei..."
When Mrs. Su heard this, she was also happy, thinking that Mrs. Zhao's idea was a good one.
Nangong Cheng looked at Zhao with disappointment, slowly but firmly withdrew his hand from her, and said word by word: "Grandma, my granddaughter has made up her mind."
Mrs. Su couldn't believe her ears, her lips were trembling with anger, she pointed at Nangong Cheng and said angrily: "Absurd! How ridiculous! Sister Cheng, go to the ancestral hall and kneel down. When did you figure it out? Give me another time to come out!"
"Yes, grandma." Nangong Cheng did not argue, kowtowed respectfully to Mrs. Su, stood up, saluted Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Lin, and left Rong'an Hall.
Ms. Zhao was naturally reluctant to let Nangong Cheng be punished, but she couldn't bear the thought of her daughter marrying a paralytic, so she was cruel and refused to intercede for her daughter.
Although Zhao was grateful to Pei Yuanchen for saving Nangong Cheng's life, she was absolutely unwilling to sacrifice Nangong Cheng's happiness in life. Now Zhao can only pray secretly in her heart, hoping that Nangong Cheng can figure it out on her own and give up this idea. No, she had to go to the master and talk about it, but she couldn't let the father and daughter be confused!
Lin wanted to ask for mercy, but Nangong Yue stopped her. The Su family was furious, and it was useless to ask for mercy now. It was better to find someone to send a message to Nangong Qin.
After that, Nangong Yue and Lin said goodbye to Su and left Rongan Hall.
Nangong Yue accompanied Mrs. Lin back to Qianyun Courtyard. Aunt Liu saw that Mrs. Lin’s wet skirt knew that she had been wronged again in Rongan Hall. She quickly ordered the maid to serve Mrs. Lin and change her clothes. He personally served a bowl of **** soup and watched Mrs. Lin finish it before exiting the room.
Sitting on the beauty's couch, Mrs. Lin sighed longly and said, "Sister Yue, don't blame your grandmother and aunt. It's no wonder they are so angry about this. Prince Pei is in this situation now. Sister Yue is indeed wronged by marrying him...and this sympathy can never last a lifetime." Ms. Lin also has a daughter, so if she were to compare her feelings with others, she would naturally be reluctant to let Sister Yue marry a husband-in-law with bad legs, and even Even heirs may become a problem.
But Nangong Yue knew that Nangong Cheng had made up her mind as early as October last year when she was in the hunting palace. It has been almost half a year now. Since Nangong Cheng still has not changed her mind, it means that she has made up her mind and will not do anything for her again. Anyone can change easily.
Nangong Yue didn’t want Mrs. Lin to be upset about this, so she said softly: “Mother, you don’t have to think so much, you are just an aunt, my eldest uncle has the final say on my eldest sister’s marriage, so just listen to his instructions. If grandma comes looking for you again, you can always refer her to your eldest uncle."
Mrs. Lin pondered for a moment, and when she thought about it, she couldn't just say no to the marriage. In the final analysis, it still depends on what Nangong Qin and Nangong Cheng want. Mrs. Lin nodded and said: "Sister Yue, you are right."
Next, the mother and daughter chatted and talked to pass the time. In the evening, they went to Rong'an Hall to pay respects to Su, but they were blocked from the courtyard.
The woman guarding the door said respectfully: "Second Madam, Third Madam, the eldest master is talking to the old lady about something. He said that he would not have to pay his respects tonight."
Nangong Yue and Lin looked at each other, said nothing, and turned back to Qianyun Court.
On this day, after having dinner in Qianyun Courtyard, Nangong Yue returned to Mozhu Courtyard under the moonlight.
After washing and changing clothes, Que'er, who had gone out to inquire about the news, came in and reported: "Third Miss, the eldest has returned to Wanqingyuan. In the evening, the eldest man stayed in Rong'an Hall for a full hour. After he came out, he He personally picked up the eldest girl from the ancestral hall. After that, the eldest man went to the small Buddhist hall and had a big quarrel with the eldest lady. He told the eldest lady not to come out if she was fine! I heard that the eldest lady cried miserably. , one cried, two made trouble, three hung, all of them..."
Que'er said it vividly, as if he saw it with his own eyes.
Nangong Yue was not surprised. What the uncle wants to insist on, few people can resist him. She just hopes that her eldest aunt will stop harassing her mother... She only hopes that her eldest sister-in-law can take over some matters of the middle school after her confinement. After a few years, after her sister-in-law takes over, the eldest daughter-in-law should still be responsible for handling the middle school. That's right.
……
Time flew by like a flash, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. It was the day when Nangong Mansion and Jian Anbo Mansion officially exchanged Geng Tie.
This time, Mrs. Jian Anbo didn’t let Mrs. Lin wait long and went to the door herself early in the morning.
Although Mrs. Lin had kept it secret before, now that Mrs. Jian Anbo has come to visit, the matter can no longer be hidden. In the small Buddhist hall of Jinhuayuan, Mrs. Zhao finally learned that Mrs. Jian Anbo came to exchange Geng Tie.
"What did you say?" Mrs. Zhao was kneeling on the futon and chanting Buddha's name. When she heard the report from Grandma Ying, her expression suddenly changed and she stood up, "You said that Mrs. Jian'anbo came to collect the Geng Tie from Sister Cheng. ?!"
"Yes, madam," Nanny Ying said anxiously, "What should we do? If the Geng Tie is exchanged, then the marriage will be considered a certainty."
How could Mrs. Zhao not understand this? She frowned and asked eagerly: "Where is Mrs. Jian'anbo?"
"The second lady is leading us to the flower hall!"
Zhao felt a little relieved. As long as the Geng Tie was not exchanged, no, as long as Mrs. Jian Anbo had not left Nangong Mansion, she would still have the opportunity to ruin this marriage!
"Mother Ying, come with me to the flower hall quickly!" Mrs. Zhao rushed out of the small Buddhist hall in a hurry, but was blocked by two gatekeepers at the entrance of Jinhua Courtyard.
"Madam, the eldest master said that if Madam is not in good health, she should not walk around the yard at will." One of the women seemed to have a respectful expression, but there was a trace of unobvious contempt in her eyes. It is rare for someone like the eldest lady to live such a good life!
Zhao felt a chill in her heart, Nangong Qin was clearly on guard against her. But if you think you can stop her in this way, you are underestimating her!
Ms. Zhao didn’t talk nonsense with these two lowly women. With a flash of her eyes, she decisively pulled out a golden hairpin from her head and put it against her throat. She said threateningly: “If something happens to me, , look at the master, the young master and the girl, I can spare you!"
The two women were shocked. The faint white mark on Zhao's face clearly reminded them that this was not the first time that Zhao had self-harmed. If Zhao really had good intentions, then even if they were... Even if you follow the orders of the great master, you will not end up well. Maybe the whole family will be in trouble!
The two women were hesitant, but Ms. Zhao caught their moment of hesitation and rushed out of the courtyard like lightning. Nanny Ying pushed one of the women away fiercely and chased after them. Go up. This master and his servant were agile, and when they turned a corner, they disappeared.
"Madam!" The two women came to their senses and hurriedly chased after her. Oops, if the eldest lady really ruins this marriage, they will be the unlucky ones!
The two women were very frightened, but what they didn't expect was that as soon as they turned the corner, they found Mrs. Zhao and Nanny Ying lying on the ground, with their eyes closed tightly, unconscious.
What's going on? !
The two women exchanged glances, and one of them boldly stepped forward, tested Zhao's breath, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The eldest lady fainted..."
Although they couldn't figure out why Mrs. Zhao "fainted" with Nanny Ying, the two women had no intention of going against their good fortune, so they hurriedly carried Ms. Zhao back to Jinhuayuan.
As soon as they left, Lily jumped down from a big tree with a smile, curling a tuft of black hair around her ears, looking proudly at Nanny Ying who had fainted on the ground, and thought to herself: Fortunately, The third girl had been on guard for a long time, fearing that the eldest man's people would be ineffective, so she had to stay here, otherwise the house would be in trouble again today!
Well, I have done this so beautifully, I have to ask the third girl for a reward!
Lily walked briskly to the Mozhu Courtyard, but Mrs. Lin had no idea what happened here. At this time, she had already personally welcomed Mrs. Jian Anbo to the flower hall in the backyard. The maids served tea politely and then stepped aside.
Mrs. Jian Anbo looked at Mrs. Lin with mixed feelings. How could she have been deceived by lard in the first place? She let Aunt Zheng humiliate Mrs. Lin before she could figure out the whole story.
Mrs. Jian Anbo calmed down and thought: Since the two families are going to get engaged, she must do what she needs to do!
"Second Madam Nangong." Madam Jian Anbo saluted Mrs. Lin with a look of shame on her face, "What happened last time was my fault. Madam, please don't take offense."
"Mrs. Bo, you don't have to be like this." Mrs. Lin quickly helped Mrs. Jian Anbo, "It's not my fault for that, Madam. She was just deceived by the villain. Now that the matter has passed, Madam doesn't have to worry about it. We After all, the two families are also related by marriage, so there is no way they can have an overnight feud."
Ms. Lin is so reasonable, which makes Mrs. Jian Anbo feel even more ashamed.
After the two sat down, they exchanged a few polite words and quickly got down to business, formally exchanging Nangong Cheng and Pei Yuanchen's invitations.
Until she got Nangong Cheng’s Geng Tie, Mrs. Jian Anbo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as these invitations were exchanged, the marriage was officially decided!
Both of them felt a huge stone falling in their hearts and started chatting... At this moment, Linglong suddenly walked into the flower hall, came to Lin's side and whispered in her ear: "Second Madam, the old Madam of the Bai family and Bai Er Madam is here."
A trace of surprise flashed in Lin's eyes. It was really not etiquette for Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai to come to the door rashly like this. No matter what, you should have given a greeting card in advance. However, the Bai family is the in-laws of the Nangong family. Even if the eldest aunt returns home, she is still the direct grandmother and aunt of Cousin Bai. It is not good to turn them away like this.
After pondering for a moment, Mrs. Lin said to Linglong: "First arrange for them to sit in the main hall for a while, and then send someone to inform the old lady."
Linglong responded and quietly retreated.
