Mrs. Liang was holding the handkerchief in her hand, and she almost twisted it into a knot, but the gentle smile on her face remained unchanged.
Seeing his eldest son lowering his head with a blushing face, he quickly and calmly stepped forward and brought the man under his "wing".
She said to Miss Qiu: "Zhou'er used to study hard in the academy and rarely went out to socialize. He is really not good at speaking. If he has offended me, please forgive him for the sake of my mother."
If the pretty girl in front of her wasn't the apple of General Qiu's eye, Mrs. Liang would never have endured such a humiliation.
Even in Beijing, she rarely felt so breathless.
Mrs. Liang blamed all the problems on Miss Qiu.
When I marry her in the future, I’ll see how she settles this account!
Mrs. Liang finished speaking.
Miss Qiu wanted to reply, "Why should I give you face?"
But when he was about to open his mouth, his brother grabbed his sleeve. When the words came to his lips, he finally remembered what his father told him before he left.
You must not offend the people in the Liang Mansion, especially Madam Liang who has a strong background.
I met Madam Liang II when I first entered the mansion today. Isn’t Madam Liang I, the one you cannot offend, the one in front of me?
"Okay, then I'll give Madam this face and not argue with Mr. Liang anymore!"
Miss Qiu's reply made Mrs. Liang feel so angry that she took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart.
I said to myself, don’t be angry, don’t be angry.
There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with her in the future, but it's a pity that the young man from the Liang family has to marry such a rude and impolite woman.
But it's not without choice. If Zhou'er can win the favor of Miss Huang, then this rude and impolite Miss Qiu can be given to someone from the second house!
"Madam, the Second Madam asks all the ladies to return to the flower hall and take their seats. The feast is about to begin."
"Yeah." Mrs. Liang nodded lightly, looking a little tired.
I forced myself to explain to the northern ladies in the garden that I was not feeling well and hoped that everyone had a good time today.
Afterwards, she left the garden again, surrounded by her maids.
Watching her leaving back, Huang Yuling's eyes flickered, and her brows, which had finally relaxed after listening to the story, furrowed again.
Tu You, who had just sat down next to her, saw this and asked, "Sister Huang, what's wrong?"
"Don't you like the Liang family too?"
"It's not that I don't like it." Huang Yuling frowned and whispered, "It's just that I feel that such a family is too complicated and not suitable for northern girls like us."
"If it's not suitable, just have less contact. At worst, if she sends us invitations again in the future, we won't accept them." Tu You said indifferently.
Wei Yunlan understood as soon as she heard it. This girl, who looked naive but was actually a bit stubborn, did not understand what Huang Yuling had not said.
This is not a matter of whether or not to have contact, it is clearly about marriage.
Since Huang Yuling attaches so much importance to it, it means that the Huang family has probably also considered this matter and may have some intention of marrying into the Liang family.
Thinking of this, Wei Yunlan frowned slightly.
It’s okay for Military Supervisor Qiu, after all, he has close ties with the capital, and you never know when he will be transferred back to the capital, or transferred to another place to take up a post. No matter what, the Liang family still has roots in the capital. Although they don't have an official position for the time being, the Qiu family will definitely not lose out if a marriage alliance really comes about.
But the Huang family...
As the deputy general of the Northern Army, Huang Zhaolin holds the rank of second-class official. If he takes one more step forward, he will be able to succeed the general. If he wins two more battles, he will be granted a title and become a marquis.
Compared with the Liang family, which has deep connections in Beijing but no real power, there is no comparison at all.
I don’t know why the Liang family caught Huang Zhaolin’s attention?
This matter should not be underestimated.
Wei Yunlan secretly took note of these unreasonable points and followed Huang Yuling and Tu You into the flower hall.
There are two seats in the hall, separated by a winding koi pond.
Madam Liang Er and the ladies attending the banquet today have already taken their seats on the left side of the pool.
The unmarried ladies were arranged to sit on the right and were hosted by the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Liang family.
This Miss Liang had previously led a few people to appreciate flowers and paint in the flower shed. She did not go to the rare animal garden, nor did she pay attention to Wei Yunlan, who was not taken seriously by Mrs. Liang at the beginning of the banquet.
Seeing her walking with Huang Yuling, talking and laughing, he was slightly stunned, and then a hint of jealousy and resentment flashed across his eyes.
But when she walked forward, she had a smile on her face again, and politely said to Huang Yuling and Tu You: "Ms. Huang, Miss Tu, please sit here."
Then his eyes fell on Wei Yunlan's face, and then he looked at the remaining seats at the table, and said with embarrassment, "Oh, why is there one less seat here?"
"I guess it was the housekeeper beside my mother who made a mistake while doing her job and forgot that Miss Wei had already returned home, so the banquet was held at the ladies' place..."
"Homeward?"
"Miss Wei has been married?"
Miss Liang was very satisfied with the reactions of the people present, but she pretended to be flustered and covered her mouth with her hand, as if she had accidentally said something wrong.
"Miss Wei, I...I didn't mean it."
Miss Liang bowed to Wei Yunlan apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I forgot that your family just arrived at Beiguan, and no one knows that you have returned home from the Marquis' Mansion."
Marquis's Mansion, return home.
The ladies present couldn't help but prick up their ears.
Someone else murmured quietly, "That's the Marquis' Mansion. Could it be that Miss Wei was divorced by the Marquis' Mansion?"
Miss Liang looked more and more guilty, but Wei Yunlan did not miss the flash of pride in her eyes.
Oh!
If this person hadn't danced in front of me, I would have almost forgotten about her.
Liang Qiuyi, the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Liang family.
It seems that she had discussed marriage with the illegitimate son of Jinyang Marquis's Mansion, the second brother of Chen Feng. Wei Yunlan didn't know why the marriage didn't take place. She only knew that until the Liang family was exiled, this young lady of the Liang family, who was the same age as her, had not yet found a husband.
Wei Yunlan thought that they had no grudges against each other, but she didn't expect that the other party would have such great malice towards her.
But she was not the type to be manipulated. Seeing Liang Qiuyi apologizing and urging the ladies present not to mention the matter again, she raised her lips and said without any embarrassment, "This is nothing to be ashamed of. I was married to the prince of Jinyang Marquis Mansion in Beijing."
"Two months ago, when something happened in my house, the prince married his concubine as his equal wife, which slapped my face."
"So I wrote a letter of divorce, no longer serving as the Crown Prince's wife in name only, and from now on I will sever all ties with the Marquis' Mansion and have no further contact with them."
Wei Yunlan looked indifferent while speaking.
Apparently, there is no shame in leaving the family and returning home.
That was fine, but what Liang Qiuyi couldn't understand was that none of the northern ladies present showed any sign of ridicule, and they all looked at Wei Yunlan with admiration!
