Chapter 321 Stubborn and Persistent

Madam Fan said in a dangerous tone, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I don't have that much patience! Madam Xu, you'd better know when to quit."

"What oath or no oath? This lady doesn't believe in that."

"Madam doesn't believe it, but I do."

"presumptuous!"

Nanny Yu: "Madam Xu, didn't you understand what I just said? Think carefully, do you really want to go against our Madam? If it weren't for Young Master Qi's pleading, even if you have the title of 'Madam Shanci', you would not be worthy of being the eldest young master of the Qi family's main wife. Young Master Qi loves you deeply, don't you think Madam Xu has any feelings at all? Besides, Madam Xu is still so young, not even twenty, are you really willing to end your life like this? That would be such a pity."

Xu Zhichun thought to himself, you simply don’t understand the joy of being rich, having free time, being famous, and having a promising and filial brother-in-law!

How desperate would one be to remarry? And marry a beast like Young Master Qi?

"Mrs. Fan, I don't want to. I swore from my heart, and heaven and earth can bear witness to it. There is no oath that has not been broken. Otherwise, I would be ashamed and unable to face anyone."

"Once you marry into the Qi family, you'll leave this place. As long as you don't mention it in the future, who would dare to mention it?"

"I myself am uneasy."

"What's the big deal? It will be fine over time."

"Another point is that Master Qi's first wife is the eldest daughter of the Zeng family. I have had many unpleasant experiences with the Zeng family. Even if there is no hatred, I can still say that there is resentment. I feel disgusted to marry Zeng Mingzhu's former husband."

“Bold!”

Mrs. Fan was furious. She gritted her teeth and glared at Xu Zhichun: "How dare you say that about the eldest young master of the Qi family? Do you still have eyes for me, the wife of the Tongzhi?"

"Mrs. Fan misunderstood. I'm not targeting Young Master Qi. I'm targeting Zeng Mingzhu."

“.”

Mrs. Fan was actually speechless.

It was amazing that, as a woman herself, Mrs. Fan actually believed Xu Zhichun's words without a doubt and did not take the oath seriously.

But even though I believe it, I am still angry.

She was not only angry at Xu Zhichun's words, but also angry that she dared to reject her.

When her cousin asked her for help, she didn't take it seriously.

Even if she was the Shanci Madam bestowed by the Emperor, so what? Her husband was the Tongzhi, second only to the emperor in the province. My cousin was afraid of the title of Shanci Madam and dared not do anything, but she was not afraid.

She thought it was an easy matter and had already promised it to her cousin.

If the result is not satisfactory, wouldn't she, the wife of the Tongzhi, be ashamed to death? How could she still have any dignity among her sisters?

Madam Yu smiled and said, "Mrs. Xu is young after all, and she's stuck in a rut. She might as well think about it from another perspective. Zeng Mingzhu coveted something, but you easily got it. She and the Zeng family must be pissed off. Don't you feel relieved, Mrs. Xu?"

Mrs. Fan's eyes lit up: "Not bad."

Xu Zhichun cursed inwardly, his face stubborn and unyielding. "I can't think that way. As long as I think that he's Zeng Mingzhu's husband, I can't get over it. I don't want anything Zeng Mingzhu has soiled, and I don't have the slightest appetite for her leftovers."

Mrs. Fan couldn't help but frowned, clutching her chest. What was going on? Even she felt a little disgusted with her nephew after hearing this.

No, that's not right!

Mrs. Fan came back to her senses and became even more furious, "How dare you!"

Nanny Yu was also stunned: "This person is really bold! Look how angry she made the Madam. And yet she didn't say a word against the Madam."

Xu Zhichun is being naughty. Let her be so unbridled. Is it too much to force a cow to drink water? That's her attitude.

Mrs. Fan felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have taken on this trivial matter at that time.

No wonder my cousin didn't send someone herself, but instead came to me. I'm afraid she might not be as concerned about her title of "Mrs. Benevolent" as she said, fearing rejection and no room for maneuver. I am the wife of the Tongzhi, and I guarantee that what I say will be final. I'm afraid my cousin has already found out about Xu's temperament, and she doesn't want to hit a wall.

Mrs. Fan was even more upset.

But she had agreed to this matter whether she wanted to or not, and had done it whether she wanted to or not, so there was no reason to give up halfway.

At this point, there was no point in continuing. Madam Fan said arrogantly, "I'm telling you this again. I'm not asking for your opinion. I'm personally acting as matchmaker. Do you dare refuse? Okay, go back and wait. The Qi family will send a matchmaker soon. You dare to embarrass me? Humph, think carefully."

"I need to rest now, Madam Yu, please show the guests away."

"Mrs. Xu, please."

Xu Zhichun said nothing and left the courtyard.

When Nanny Yu sent her out, she reminded and warned her: Don't make things difficult for Madam Lu. It's useless and will only make things difficult for Madam Lu. Why bother?

Xu Zhichun had no intention of telling Madam Lu about this. His eyes were indifferent: "Madam, you're overthinking it."

Nanny Yu smiled and said, "This servant would like to congratulate Madam Xu first."

Xu Zhichun: "There is no happy event at home, I dare not accept it in vain."

Aunt Yu: “.”

I'm really angry.

Just keep talking tough!

When Xu Zhichun went to say goodbye to Mrs. Lu, his expression had returned to normal.

Mrs. Lu asked a few questions with concern, but Xu Zhichun just covered them up with a smile.

Nanny Yu was right, she shouldn't have put Madam Lu in a difficult position.

Tongzhi Fan is the superior of County Magistrate Lu, and Mrs. Lu has no control over Mrs. Fan.

After the master and servant left the county magistrate's back office, Xu Zhichun went to his own shop and instructed Nanny Qin Qing to quietly find Captain Yu and bring him in through the back door without being seen by anyone.

Nanny Qin Qing agreed and went.

Mrs. Fan was so powerful that Xu Zhichun had no way of using her strength. After much deliberation, she decided to ask Captain Yu for help.

Captain Yu has a wide network of contacts, so since he can't do anything openly, he has to do it secretly.

As soon as Captain Yu heard that his sister-in-law had something to ask him, he asked Nanny Qin Qing to go first and he came immediately.

It's not a good idea for two people to appear together. The county town is so small and there are too many acquaintances there. It would be bad to be seen by others.

Nanny Qin Qing had just entered the room when she heard someone knocking on the back door. She hurried to open it and found it was Captain Yu.

Nanny Qin Qing was full of admiration. She looked back along the way and didn't see Captain Yu. She thought he must have taken another route and had calculated the timing so accurately.

"Sister-in-law!"

"Captain Yu, please take a seat."

"Has my sister-in-law encountered any difficulties?"

Xu Zhichun smiled bitterly: "It's a bit of a laugh and a cry."

Fortunately, she is not from this era, otherwise she would be too embarrassed to talk about such things in front of Captain Yu, a grown man and an outsider.

Nanny Qin Qing was not serving at the time, and she had just heard about it. She couldn't help but let out a low cry of surprise and glanced at her wife with concern.

She had also heard about Mrs. Fan, and she was really not an easy person to get along with.

Captain Yu's eyes were cold and gloomy. "This Madam Fan is truly despicable."
