Chapter 110 Method
Ji was stunned.
For so many years, ever since she gave birth to Wang Yan, who dared to say such words in front of her?
Bitch maid?
She laughed angrily.
"Is the second girl crazy?"
The handkerchief in my hand was almost torn.
Fortunately, she still had her wits about her shoulders and didn't dare to rush up and hit the marquis's daughter.
"It's your family that's crazy," Qu Lianzhi's voice was like poison, every word piercing Ji's ears. "You're just wishful thinking."
She said sternly, "You, the Wang family, must find a way to cancel the engagement. Otherwise, on the day of the wedding, the person who will die will be your son."
Ji was shocked.
What are you talking about?
Is this something a human can say?
The daughter-in-law in front of her, who was given an arranged marriage, was now looking at her as if she were a dead object.
Those almond-shaped eyes, which should have been shy and timid, were filled with terrifying ruthlessness.
"Second Miss, I think you are truly mad," Ji said. "The marriage between our two families was personally granted by the Emperor. How could you harbor such a vicious thought?"
Qu Lianzhi looked at her coldly, "I don't care how this marriage came about."
"If my sister can cut off two of his fingers, I can kill him."
Ji took two steps back and said in a trembling voice, "If you kill him, you won't be able to live either."
"I'm not afraid of death," Qu Lianzhi imitated Qu Ling's words, "Aren't you afraid of your son dying too?"
Ji felt his blood run cold.
She suddenly remembered the rumors.
There is a ghost in Dingxiang Marquis's Mansion.
People died one after another, and those who were still alive were disabled.
Actually, it is not.
Ji felt that there was a madman in the marquis's mansion.
The eldest daughter was extremely capable. She managed to upset the planned marriage and even cut off two of Wang Yan's fingers.
The second daughter is no better, she is willing to risk her life as soon as she opens her mouth.
Is this the daughter of a marquis, or a heartless bandit?
"You can go now," Qu Lianzhi had already turned his back, leaving only a cold and hard silhouette. "A lowly servant is a lowly servant, not worthy of being on the stage."
Ji almost fled in panic.
Both embarrassed and annoyed.
But what can she do?
He was used to being arrogant in the Wang family, but this is the Marquis's Mansion.
For the first time, Ji felt that it was difficult to marry a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family.
Let’s not talk about whether those scary words are true or not.
With such a rebellious temper, how will he live his life in the future?
After leaving the yard, she realized that the back of her clothes was soaked when the wind blew.
Cancel the engagement? Can you cancel the marriage granted by His Majesty just like that?
Her son's face appeared in front of her eyes, and her heart suddenly tightened.
Before he knew it, Ji had already reached the corridor.
"Madam is well."
A sound like a clear spring rang out.
Ji looked up and saw a girl in plain clothes bowing to her.
The girl looked younger than Qu Lianzhi, with almond eyes and cherry lips. When she saluted, a silver hairpin in her hair did not move at all, which showed that she was well-educated.
"Who is the girl?" Ji was on guard.
Don’t tell me it’s another unruly daughter from the Marquis’s Mansion.
"My daughter Lian Ting greets the Madam."
The girl bowed again and spoke in a soft voice.
"Madam, you look unwell, but are you feeling unwell? Would you like to sit in the pavilion up ahead?"
Ji recalled what Wang Zhongshan had told her about the young ladies and gentlemen in the Marquis's mansion.
It doesn't match.
This girl is somewhat similar to Qu Lianzhi, but she doesn't have that aggressive aura at all, and her eyes and eyebrows are gentle.
"You are the Marquis's..."
The word "illegitimate daughter" swirled around Ji's tongue, but he swallowed it.
"I am the daughter of the second house." Qu Lianting lowered her head, a hint of complaint flashing in the depths of her eyelashes.
Everyone only cares about the eldest son.
One is domineering, the other is a madman, they are just taking advantage of their status.
If her father was a marquis, she would be a million times more dazzling than those two.
"Why is the young lady here?" When Ji saw that she was not the marquis's daughter, she breathed a sigh of relief and straightened her back a little.
"The princess won't let me go to the coffin, so I can only bid farewell to my grandmother from afar." Qu Lianting answered softly, looking a little aggrieved.
"There's fallen petals on the lady's collar."
Without waiting for Ji's reaction, she took out a white handkerchief from her sleeve and gently wiped Ji's face.
Ji's heart suddenly moved.
It would be nice if a girl like this could be a good wife for Qin'er.
"Has Miss Lian Ting been promised to anyone?"
As soon as the words came out, Ji himself was surprised.
Two blushes rose on Qu Lianting's cheeks. "I just returned to Beijing with my father, and I haven't seen her before."
A bold idea took shape in Ji's mind.
Qu Lianzhi didn't want to get married, so he married Qu Lianting instead. The two families still had an alliance, but with a different girl. It was a mutual decision, so no one would delve into it.
"Madam?" Qu Lianting called out softly when she saw her lost in thought.
Ji came back to his senses and stroked his hair, "Good boy, thank you so much for today."
Qu Lianting didn't bother to argue any further, "Madam, take care."
Ji felt much better.
Compared to Qu Lianzhi, who would take people's lives at will, the girl in front of him was like a fairy descending to earth.
After she turned around, Qu Lianting was still smiling gently, but the smile did not seem to reach her eyes.
After the incident last night, she had already seen the situation in the Marquis' Mansion clearly.
For example, the original plan of pretending to be the wife's legitimate child was no longer possible.
My mother said that I would find a good marriage if I returned to Beijing, but how good could it be?
A girl born out of wedlock from the second house cannot even be the one that the first house doesn't want.
This seemingly coincidental encounter naturally did not escape Qu Ling's eyes.
"That girl is quite thoughtful." After watching the chess game and calculating for half a day, he still didn't know where she would be ranked.
Qu Ling laughed loudly.
She just asked someone to pass the news about the Wang family to Qu Lianzhi, but she didn't expect to see two good shows.
But she was not surprised, because Qu Lianting was not a worry-free person.
"Have someone keep an eye on the second room. Remember, don't interfere in anything."
Guan Qi nodded.
Before the old lady was buried, the mother and her two children from the second house did not show up.
It was not until the funeral was over that Qu Yu said that Bai Shuang was only Qu Lianting's teacher, not her concubine.
He had planned everything, but he hadn't expected that the old lady would pass away when he returned to Beijing.
If Bai Shuang were to enter the mansion as a concubine, it would be detrimental to his reputation.
When serving as an official in Beijing, one must be cautious in everything.
He actually agreed and helped cover up the matter, saying that Qu Lianting and Qu Rui were born to the concubine who followed her to take up her new post.
After her aunt died, she hired a teacher to teach Qu Lianting.
After all, the scene that happened in front of the old lady's coffin in the Marquis' Mansion that day was not known to outsiders, so he was able to get away with it by taking advantage of the situation.
Qu Sheng ran to ask his biological mother, "Auntie, are those two really the children of Auntie Fang?"
His biological mother had just returned to Beijing with Qu Yu.
Wen Yan said, "Whatever the master says is true. Don't worry about how they fight or what they say. Auntie just hopes that you can be safe and sound."
Bai Shuang has been following Qu Yu and has been acting like the wife for many years.
Now I can’t even get a concubine.
Serves you right!
In a remote courtyard of the second house, Bai Shuang and Qu Yu had a fierce quarrel.
"You lied to me, you lied to me all the time." Bai Shuang cried bitterly.
Qu Yu patiently advised, "That's what we agreed upon at the beginning. The two children will stay in the Marquis' Mansion."
"You said you would register them under the He family name, making them legitimate children," Bai Shuang said angrily, "and you said you would leave after returning and continue to be my husband and wife outside."
Now, they can’t be husband and wife, and she doesn’t even have a legal status.
Qu Yu, "When you committed yourself to me, you said you didn't seek any status, you just wanted to be with me for eternity. If I let you be my concubine, wouldn't that be an insult to our true love?"
Hoarfrost choked.
She knew that the man in front of her had changed his heart.
"Lord Song said that after three months, he would let me take up a position at the Ministry of Revenue as an assistant minister."
His official position is higher than He's father's.
Qu Yu was delighted, "By then, your husband will be a fourth-rank official."
He still has feelings for Bai Shuang.
Bai Shuang was held in her arms, tears streaming down her face.
This was not what she wanted at all.
Should she kill He or stop her husband from staying in Beijing and taking up an official position?
