Chapter 213 The fight started

Qi Caiwei received a post from the neighbor next door.

Just as she was about to tear it up, she heard Madam Gong come in to report, "Madam Ru, the concierge said the family across the street has also invited Madam Fang..."

Qi Caiwei paused, surprised and asked, "Are you saying that Lu Qingyao sent a letter to the Fang Mansion?"

"Yes."

"How dare Fang Zhengqing, this old bastard, betray his father!" Qi Caiwei threw the post in her hand away, gritting her teeth in hatred.

It's all because of that old bastard who pretends to obey but actually disobeys.

Otherwise, the first place in the case would belong to Pearl.

It’s a nice idea to want to use Lu Qingyao to get close to the Cui family.

We'll see...

Qi Caiwei looked at Madam Gong and asked, "Which other families did Lu Qingyao send invitations to?"

"The Cui family, the Qin family, and the Fang family. The others are mainly some wealthy people in Jiangzhou."

"Qin family?"

"Haha... She actually sent a letter to that old lady Wang..." Qi Caiwei sneered.

Lu Qingyao, this idiot, actually invited all his enemies to his house.

ridiculous!

She touched the scar on her face and asked awkwardly, "Has Wang gone yet?"

"No, Madam Qin is ill, and the one who passed away was Sir Qin's new concubine, Xiao Wang." Nanny Gong glanced at the note on the ground, picked it up and put it back on the table.

"Little Wang?"

Qi Caiwei felt much better instantly.

Isn’t she the niece that Concubine Li sent to her?

Now, there’s something interesting to watch.

The old woman must have been mad to death.

Qi Caiwei instantly became interested and asked someone to help her dress up and prepare to go to the banquet.

"Mother, you can't go..." Jiang Zijin wanted to step forward to stop her.

"It's fine if Mrs. Lu didn't know the truth and sent a letter to Madam Fang, but you and she are at odds with each other. If she suddenly sent you a letter, I'm afraid she has some intention of harming you. You can't go."

Matron Gong interrupted, "I've seen all the officials and noble ladies in the city go there. I heard that Princess Liang and Princess Rong'an will also go..."

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Zijin glared at her.

"Get out. You don't need to serve here. Find a way to get Pei'er back. We will leave Jiangzhou tomorrow."

Ever since her brother finished his imperial examination, she has been ready to return to Beijing.

But my younger brother doesn't even want to go home. Even on holiday, he stays in the academy every day.

She and her mother went to pick him up in person, but they didn't even see him.

This time, no matter how upset Jiang Zipei was, she and her mother had to go back.

If you don't leave now, you'll have to wait until next spring.

After winter comes, the road becomes more difficult to travel the further north you go. If it snows, neither she nor her mother can bear it.

And the concubine and the bastard were also having fun outside for a long time.

If it was Mother who caused Father to be demoted, then Mother was wrong, but now Father has a mistress.

It doesn't seem like he cares much about his reputation.

Jiang Zijin tried his best to persuade her, "Mother, you can't go to this banquet. It might be a trap..."

"Besides, I have asked someone to pack our bags. As soon as my brother comes back, we will leave Jiangzhou. If we go back now, we can celebrate the New Year with our grandparents this year."

"As for Fang Xuezheng, leave him to grandpa. Grandpa will not let him go."

After hearing her daughter's words, Qi Caiwei was shaken.

Can……

She really couldn't swallow this.

She held her daughter's hand and said, "I'll go take a look and ask Mrs. Fang what's going on. I just want to ask..."

Jiang Zijin was extremely helpless, and ultimately he could not influence A Niang's decision.

However, now A'niang finally listens to what she says instead of blindly favoring her younger brother.

She pursed her lips and reluctantly agreed, "Okay, then I'll go with you, ask and leave, don't stay too long."

"Okay, I'll listen to you..."

Jiang Miaomiao was so angry that Fang Jingxian ran away.

At this moment, I am chasing butterflies among the chrysanthemums with the young ladies.

The chrysanthemums in the garden attracted many butterflies.

She had reason to suspect that her mother had deliberately had it released, as it was obvious that the little girl liked it very much.

Then Qi Caiwei and her daughter came in their best clothes.

After all, his special identity immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Her face was still thickly powdered, looking pale.

Jiang Miaomiao was afraid that she would drop something in the tea while drinking it.

Lead powder is poisonous...

Qi Caiwei came in, took a look around, and then pulled the little maid to ask questions.

Very purposeful.

Without staying in the courtyard for long, the little maid led the way and went directly to the flower hall.

In the flower hall.

Mrs. Fang drank several cups of tea.

Lu Qingyao hasn't come yet.

But what he waited for was Fang Jingxian, who was crying with her face covered.

"Mom, I don't want to marry Jiang Zifeng. Let's go back."

She had originally looked down on the Jiang family's status, and now after hearing what Jiang Zifeng's sister said, she felt disgusted.

Madam Fang dismissed the maidservant and took her daughter by the hand, whispering, "Xian'er, this is not the time to lose your temper. The Jiang family isn't a well-off family, and Madam Jiang is the descendant of a criminal. But the second son of the Jiang family is a disciple of Grand Tutor Cui, and he has connections and connections with the Cui family. Are you still worried that Jiang Zifeng won't rise to prominence?"

"But...but Jiang Zifeng thinks I'm old...he hates me."

Fang Jingxian was originally embarrassed to say it out loud.

But her mother insisted on forcing her.

"Nonsense, who is so blind as to say that? You've only just reached marriage age, and are only three years older than Jiang Zifeng. How dare he look down on you..."

Before he finished speaking.

With a "bang", the door was kicked open.

…

Lu Qingyao was in her son's room at this time.

Sun Yanshu bowed deeply to her.

When facing Aunt Lu, he felt nervous for no reason.

I was even more nervous than meeting Qiao'er's parents.

"Aunt, Yanshu has long admired Miss Qiao'er and wishes to marry her. Regardless of wealth or poverty, she will be his only wife. Could you please stop looking for other families for her? Tomorrow... tomorrow I will ask for leave from the teacher and go home, and have my parents go to Qiao'er's house to propose marriage."

Lu Qingyao looked at him in surprise, "You want to marry Qiao'er?"

Jiang Ziyan looked at his mother's expression and couldn't help but turned his back and smiled secretly.

He was glared at by his mother.

"Does Qiao'er know about this? She's a very opinionated girl."

Sun Yanshu nodded, "This..."

You will agree, right?

He could clearly feel that Qiao'er was fond of him.

"Don't worry, Auntie. Yanshu will first get Miss Qiao'er's consent, and then have his parents come to propose marriage."

Lu Qingyao was afraid that she was impulsive and thought Qiao'er was different from other girls, and that she was fresh and new, so she wanted to marry her.

I don't want her to suffer the same hardships I have suffered.

Then he asked, "Have you thought about it carefully? Qiao'er may not stay at home to take care of her husband and children after marriage. She may still go out and do what she likes. Are you willing to do that?"

Sooner or later, Sun Yanshu will embark on a career in officialdom.

Official families dislike their women showing up in public, or having to socialize and mediate with the families of the powerful.

Keqiaoer grew up in the countryside, without any so-called rules or constraints.

Now I have something I like to do.

If she were to continue to be a caged bird in the backyard, she would probably become a bird with broken wings.

It was something she didn't want to see.

Sun Yanshu bowed again, "Aunt, I understand your concerns. I marry to follow my heart. I enter the government to work for the welfare of the people and not to bend to the will of the powerful. I will walk my path step by step, true to my conscience and true to my actions. As a wife, there is no need for me to go against my will to entertain the rich and powerful and their families, or to kowtow to them."

Lu Qingyao felt very comfortable hearing this, and couldn't suppress a smile on her face.

But thinking about the fickleness of human nature, she put away her smile again.

He said solemnly, "Since you say so, I will no longer look for you on behalf of Qiao'er. As for the marriage proposal, you still need to discuss it with Qiao'er."

"Yes, thank you auntie for your help..."

Lu Qingyao nodded slightly.

Only after Sun Yanshu left did she smile without any concealment.

I was just about to go out to look for my daughter who had gotten into trouble somewhere.

She met Xiuxiu who came to look for her.

She looked excited, "Sister, go check it out! There's a fight going on in the hall..."
