Rong Huanyao looked at Rong Xuqing suspiciously, "Why are you staring at me?"
"No." Rong Xuqing withdrew his inquiring gaze and said in a distant tone, "It was just that I later realized that this matter was not reasonable. You should take him away quickly. The princess is here, please don't be rude."
Tian Luowen noticed that Rong Xuqing looked strange and stepped forward immediately.
"Qing'er, this is the birthday gift I made for you myself."
He took out a long brocade box from his sleeve.
Rong Xuqing opened it and took a look, and saw another plain hairpin.
How shabby.
She raised her eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Tian."
He then threw the box to Mu Xiu.
"I still have other guests to entertain, Mr. Tian, please make yourself at your own convenience."
After saying that, she turned and left, not giving him a chance to speak again.
There were so many people staring at her at this banquet, and if she stayed with a man outside her for a while longer, people would start making assumptions.
He came in person to deliver the gift, just to spread rumors, so Rong Xuqing naturally wouldn't let him succeed.
Rong Chaoxi saw Tian Luowen following behind the elder sister and wanted to reach out and pull her.
He raised his hand to catch a leaf that was floating towards him, and waved his chubby hand gently.
The leaves flew out as fast as lightning, bypassing everyone, brushing past the back of Tian Luowen's hand, and leaving a long cut.
Tian Luowen felt pain, stopped and looked down. The wound ran across the entire back of his hand, and blood was oozing out.
He looked around and saw nothing unusual, and was filled with confusion as to how the wound came about.
Tian Luowen wiped the blood off his hands and walked towards Rong Xuqing again.
Everything was fine three months ago, but recently, Rong Xuqing suddenly became indifferent to him.
Today he didn't show any good face at all.
The family is in dire financial difficulty, and he must marry Rong Xuqing.
But after taking a few steps, he felt a pain in his foot. With a hiss, he squatted down in pain.
I turned my foot over and a stone pierced through the thick sole and poked into the sole of my foot.
Tian Luowen removed the stone and limped back to the banquet.
"How is it? Did Miss Rong agree?" Mrs. Tian asked as soon as her son sat down.
Tian Luowen shook his head with a bitter face, "I don't know why, but she's become increasingly cold towards me."
Things changed after I came back from the Wanfo Temple.
Although she had been somewhat distant before, she was obviously happy to see him.
"I told you to meet Miss Rong more often, but you insisted on going to see that vixen. Now, the duck that was in your hand is about to fly away!"
Mrs. Tian glanced at her son with a look of disappointment.
It was all caused by that vixen he kept outside.
"Don't go looking for her anymore. If you can't get Rong Xuqing, I'll sell that girl to a brothel."
Mrs. Tian said bitterly, then got up and went to find Mrs. Hu.
No one knew that Mrs. Tian was Hu's biological sister.
It was her idea to save the beauty.
As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family. This kind of good marriage should naturally be given to one's own family.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Hu smiled contemptuously. "As the saying goes, 'Hearing is believing, seeing is believing.' Don't you understand this principle yet?"
Rong Huanyao and Mrs. Tian both showed confused expressions.
Mrs. Hu shook her head speechlessly. "I have something important to do today. You guys should handle your own affairs."
After saying that, she left quickly.
…
After Rong Xuqing talked with his friend for a while, he came to the Qin family's table.
Last time Rong Chaoxi had her full moon banquet, everyone in the family had important matters to attend to, so only Grand Tutor Qin and Old Madam Qin came.
Today the whole family is finally together.
My uncle, Qin Zhongshu, is the chief academic officer at the Imperial College. He has an important exam today and will leave after lunch.
My second uncle Qin Huaiyi is a very busy man. He manages the family business and has opened restaurants in Jiangnan and other places. He often has to go out for inspections.
When Rong Xuqing got married later, he added half of the dowry, which was twice as much as when Qin Nanjing got married.
This is also what the Tian family values.
My uncle Qin Mingyi is now 26 years old. He holds an idle position in the court and has no children. He takes his wife to travel around all day and only returned home in the past two days.
Rong Chaoxi sat in his aunt's arms and looked at them one by one.
He couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.
Rong Xuqing was no longer shocked, only tired.
No way, this place is also in danger! ?
Seeing Rong Xuqing's graceful appearance now, one can't help but think of the days when Qin Nanjing was still in the boudoir.
Old Madam Qin held Rong Xuqing's hand and was reluctant to let go.
"Qing'er is exactly like Jingniang back then. She will definitely meet a man as good as your father in the future. Your father-in-law is open-minded, your mother-in-law is kind, and your sisters-in-law support each other. The family is harmonious and there is no rift."
[What's good about it?! Except for Daddy, no one in this family is good.]
There was laughter and joy at the table.
Rong Chaoxi, however, kept muttering to himself, "Puff puff puff".
The old man originally married my father and mother because they were the daughters of wealthy businessmen. In fact, he had already been involved with his cousin, who is now the old lady.
[They fed Grandma incompatible foods, weakening her constitution and hoping to starve her to death. Unexpectedly, Dad was resilient and managed to keep Grandma alive for another year.]
[They even did this and that right in front of Grandmother, nearly pissing her off to death. They also took all her dowry and left nothing for Daddy. Otherwise, Daddy could have given Mom ten times more in betrothal gifts when he married her...]
Snap——
Someone dropped their chopsticks.
Clang——
Someone dropped a wine glass.
[They support the eldest prince, and when they fail to win over Dad, they frame him for treason.]
My grandfather gathered evidence to exonerate him, but was framed as the mastermind and died in a car accident on the throne room. My grandmother, in poor health, passed away that evening upon hearing the tragic news.
