Chapter 135 I hope Chen Qinian doesn’t disappoint me
"I think Chen Qinian is quite naughty, and young men may not know how to take care of their family. Are you sure you don't regret it?" Gu Xiaoxi asked Ma Weiwei.
"I don't regret it. My biggest wish since I was a child was to marry Brother Qinian." Ma Weiwei said with certainty.
Gu Xiaoxi had seen this before in a book. She had loved a man since she was a child, and her only wish was to marry this man when she grew up. She didn't expect to meet him in the real world.
What a passionate little girl! I hope Chen Qinian won’t let her down.
"I'll ask Chen San to find out something for me. Come with me to the Chen family later and I'll ask Mr. Chen about the details." Gu Xiaoxi felt that the house was big enough for more people to live in, but she didn't know if this young lady could adapt to rural life?
"Are you asking about something about Brother Qinian?" Ma Weiwei asked.
"It's not about your brother Qinian. It's just some personal matters of mine." Gu Xiaoxi told the truth.
"Min'er, go find Chen San and see what he wants to know." Ma Weiwei asked her maid Min'er to help.
Why……
Seeing that the young lady had finally found a way to get close to her young master, Min'er was willing to be the errand boy.
After Min'er left, Gu Xiaoxi started chatting with Ma Weiwei.
Ma Weiwei told Gu Xiaoxi some of the ugly things that happened when Chen Qinian was a child. Gu Xiaoxi laughed so hard that she could only say that Chen Qinian had been a funny guy since he was a child.
However, it is really rare for such a funny guy to be loved by a rich lady since childhood.
After about an incense stick of time, Chen San and Min'er came back together.
With Min'er's help, Chen San quickly found out the information he wanted to know.
"Miss Xiaoxi, because Mrs. Mo had a fight with other prisoners in the cell and refused to change despite repeated warnings, the county magistrate exiled her to the Dao County Tea Garden." Chen San told Miss Xiaoxi what he had learned.
Dao County Tea Garden?
Gu Xiaoxi was very unfamiliar with this name.
Seeing that Sister Xiaoxi seemed unfamiliar with this place, Ma Weiwei said, "Dao County is the border town here. It's rich in tea, and a lot of tea is sent to the imperial palace as tribute every year.
There was a government tea plantation in that area, and most of those exiled there worked there."
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi felt that the Mo family was looking for an opportunity to escape. Although the tea garden was guarded by yamen runners, there were still some loopholes, and it was possible to escape from the tea garden.
"Don't worry, Sister Xiaoxi. If a prisoner dares to escape from the tea garden, he will be severely punished. Even if he is alive, he will be beaten half to death. Moreover, he will not come out of that place unless he is dead." Ma Weiwei said again.
"Then this is no different from a death sentence. She's increasing the severity of the punishment and is going to make him spend the rest of his life in jail!" Gu Xiaoxi muttered after hearing this.
"That's about right." Ma Weiwei nodded.
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi bowed and thanked him: "Thank you Miss Ma for clearing up my doubts. Get in the car and go to Chen's house."
Chen San was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Miss Xiaoxi meant.
"Let's go to Chen's house." Gu Xiaoxi saw Chen San in a daze and patted his shoulder.
Chen San was worried that he would be beaten to death by the second master if he returned to the Chen family at this time.
"Don't be afraid, we'll come down when we get to the side." Gu Xiaoxi knew Chen San's worries. After all, he was just a servant. If he ran away with the young master, he would definitely be beaten when he returned.
"Thank you, Miss Xiaoxi, for your understanding." Chen San thanked her and drove the carriage to the Chen family.
…
At this moment, Mr. Chen had just seen off several guests and was drinking tea in the main hall in a very good mood.
"Master, do we really not need to find the second young master?" Old Yu couldn't help but ask.
"That kid has a stubborn temper. Let Sixteen try to persuade him for a while!" Mr. Chen actually understood the character of his second nephew.
He also knew that the boy must have gone to Xiaoxi's house, so he was worried that if he pushed too hard, the boy would run away from home, so he let him go for a while.
"But, I'm afraid the Ma family..." Old Yu was worried that the eldest daughter of the Ma family would cause trouble, which would make both families unhappy.
Chen Yuanwai said protectively, "If that girl is really so ignorant, then let's call off this marriage. After all..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, as he believed that Lao Yu could understand.
"County Magistrate Ma is impatient and an honest official. It is only a matter of time before he offends someone. I didn't expect that he would offend someone he shouldn't have offended this time. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to return to the imperial capital." Old Yu sighed.
"Yes, Old Ma is too stubborn to be persuaded. If his daughter is the same, something will happen sooner or later, so I want to persuade her. If I can't persuade her, I can only replace her. This is better than dragging down the Chen family." This is what Mr. Chen is most worried about.
"Master, you have thought of it very well." Lao Yu felt that this was also for the sake of the third young master.
As the two were talking, a servant came in and reported, "Master, Miss Ma is here again."
"Tell him I'm going out." Mr. Chen waved his hand irritably.
The servant said again: "Yes, yes, she came with Miss Xiaoxi."
Why did Xiaoxi come here with Ma Weiwei?
Could it be that Ma Weiwei found Xiaoxi's house and went there to cause trouble?
Thinking of this, Mr. Chen had no choice but to invite everyone in.
After a while, Gu Xiaoxi and Ma Weiwei, master and servant, entered the inner courtyard together.
"Meet Mr. Chen!"
"Meet Uncle Chen!"
"Please sit down!" Mr. Chen said, and asked the servants to bring more tea.
As soon as Gu Xiaoxi sat down, she spoke: "Mr. Chen, I came here to ask about the Second Young Master's situation."
"Let's talk in the study! Weiwei, please sit for a while." Mr. Chen was very smart. When Xiaoxi said this, he knew that it was not about his second nephew at all, but because of that idiot Chen Qinian.
Seeing that she was thrown here, Ma Weiwei looked at Gu Xiaoxi aggrievedly.
Gu Xiaoxi gave her a calming look and followed Chen Yuanwai out to the study.
After entering the study, Lao Yu served tea and stood by to wait on me.
Mr. Chen asked anxiously, "Xiaoxi, are you here for something that happened last year?"
"Mr. Chen is so smart!" Gu Xiaoxi laughed.
Mr. Chen asked again, "Why did you run into Ma Weiwei again? Did she say anything to you?"
Gu Xiaoxi replied truthfully, "I went to the government office to do some work. Ma Weiwei recognized that this was Qinian's carriage and came to ask what my relationship with Qinian was.
I thought she was probably the wife you found for Qinian, so you brought her here.”
Why……
Chen Yuanwai sighed helplessly and said, "In fact, they are not engaged now, but engaged as children."
"So, Ma Weiwei didn't lie, they are indeed childhood sweethearts. If that's the case, why did you let Qinian go again?" Gu Xiaoxi asked curiously.
After hearing this, Mr. Chen laughed out loud: "He said that?"
"He said he was smart and even though he was beaten, he still escaped." Gu Xiaoxi replied.
"What a smart guy! He's not half as smart as you. If I hadn't let him go, it would be strange if he could get out." Mr. Chen said angrily.
Phew!
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then why did he get beaten into a pig's head?"
