Qin Ruchu looked around but didn't see Tang Yizheng. She felt bored. "There are so many people there, but there is no gossip about them?"

She would eat Tang Yi Zheng's melon later, as she wanted to eat the one about the newcomers.

System: "Tang Yizheng's melon is related to the person opposite."

Qin Ruchu didn't notice that the conversation among the crowd had stopped, and her eyes fell on the noble lady opposite her without any expression, "Eat."

System: "Xu Yarong, the daughter of the Taipu Temple's chief clerk, has taken a fancy to Tang Yizheng. She plans to meet Tang Yizheng by chance, pretend to fall into the water, ask him to save her, and then take the opportunity to cheat him."

Tang Yi Zheng had never expected to hear such words as soon as he stepped into the garden. He was so frightened that he immediately took a step back. It was too scary. The woman was too scared.

The eyes of the nobles fell on Xu Yarong. Xu Yarong thought that Liu Songyi had chosen her, so she lowered her head shyly, hesitating in her heart and not implementing her plan for a while.

Qin Ruchu: "...Should I tell her? A marriage like this will be unhappy."

She is a living example.

System: "It's useless. She is jealous of her younger sister. She knows that she has no advantage over her younger sister and is afraid that your mother-in-law will not like her, so she plans to snatch Tang Yizheng away directly."

Qin Ruchu: "Why does she think my mother-in-law would like her younger sister? There are many people with higher status than hers here. With her status, she can only be a concubine if she marries in, right?"

The Chief Clerk of the Imperial Household Department was only a seventh-rank official, not worthy of respect in front of a first-rank marquis.

The hierarchy here is strict, and even if she stood on tiptoe, she couldn't reach the threshold of the mansion.

System: "I can tell from the host's lack of careful observation that none of the girls who came this time are from noble families above the rank of a third-rank official?"

Qin Ruchu really didn't pay attention. She didn't plan to accept the favors of the Marquis's Mansion, so she didn't spend any effort on it. She didn't even recognize all the daughters of the noble family, let alone the daughters of the official family. Hearing this, she just said: "Whether she is the daughter of the noble family or not, I don't know her."

The system was really impressed by her: "Then I'll tell you, because you are the future mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, and your status is too high, your mother-in-law is afraid that your sister-in-law will suppress you, so she decided to let Tang Yizheng marry someone of lower status, so that no matter what happens in the future, she will never be able to climb over your head."

Qin Ruchu looked at Liu Songyi and asked: "Are you telling the truth?"

System: "What good is there in lying to you?"

Qin Ruchu frowned. She had never thought that eating melons would affect her. No matter what, she couldn't take the blame, otherwise if there was a problem in the future, she would definitely be blamed. So she pulled Liu Songyi aside and said, "Mother, I just checked. Isn't the status of the woman who came this time too low?"

Liu Songyi patted her cheeks and said soothingly, "It's like this. Your brother is not very promising. He doesn't rely on Qian'er's blessing. If he marries a wife from a high-class family, she might feel uncomfortable and instigate your brother to do something bad. It's better for him to marry a woman of lower status and live a quiet life."

The daughters of wealthy families are all brought up according to the standards of the mistress of the house, so how could they be willing to be inferior to others? Something would definitely happen.

"Then you can marry a concubine's daughter."

A concubine's daughter from a noble family is better than a legitimate daughter from an official family.

Because even if you marry a concubine's daughter from a noble family, you can still enjoy the resources of the noble family, it's just a matter of how much.

And the official family has no resources themselves, so how can they give them to their son-in-law?

The only solution is to let Tang Yizheng marry the daughter of a 軘 official. Without a powerful in-law family and the support of his father-in-law, what should he do if he has complaints in the future?

Liu Songyi understood what Qin Ruchu didn't say, and said calmly: "If there is no father-in-law to help, then there is no father-in-law to help. This is a good thing. In this world, where is there a good thing for nothing? I don't want to be a traitor in the future."

Taking other people's interests is exchanged for greater interests. Also, she doesn't want her son to kowtow in front of Yue's family.

If you really have that ability, the Marquis's Mansion will naturally help you. If you don't have that ability, just stay under the wings of your brother and sister-in-law and don't think about those unnecessary things.

Qin Ruchu was unwilling to give up and said, "Why don't you discuss this with your second brother?"

Otherwise, if I take my anger out on her in the future, won't she be crying?

"Don't worry, I've already told you, and you agree, don't worry."

Of course, what she told me was that everyone knew what happened before me, and the girls from the rich and powerful families looked down on me and could only marry me of lower status.

If you don't have much ability, don't cultivate your heart, otherwise something bad will definitely happen in the future.

But this was her son, and she didn't want to hit him, so she chose a method that was more acceptable to him.

Qin Ruchu was worried, but this matter was not hers to decide, and she had no choice but to accept it. She returned to the banquet with her head down.

System: "Host, do you still want to eat melons?"

Qin Ruchu: [Eat.]

She couldn't decide on her status, but she could still prevent Tang Yi Zheng from being plotted against. She didn't want to have a scheming sister-in-law, as she would be the only one who would be unlucky.

System: "Then I will continue to say that Xu Yarong heard that your mother-in-law wanted to marry a daughter-in-law of lower status, and that she could become the legal wife as long as she married into the family. So she wanted to keep an eye on Tang Yizheng today, and she would marry him no matter what."

Qin Ruchu got goosebumps when she heard this: "This is too crazy."

Everyone nodded silently in their hearts, yes, that's right, it's too crazy.

Liu Songyi's scalp tingled. No, such a troublemaker must not be allowed to enter the gate of the Marquis's mansion, otherwise there would be no peace in the future. She stared at Tang Yizheng to death today.

Tang Yizheng just felt like he had got a piece of fat meat, he wanted to cry but had no tears, what sin had he committed to be targeted by such a person, no, he must stay away from women today.

Leave the matter of finding a wife to my eldest sister-in-law. I will marry whoever she tells me to marry.

I don't trust other people's opinions at all. I would rather die than marry someone like Xu Yarong.

System: "What's the matter? Didn't I say before that she was jealous of her younger sister because she thought her younger sister was her biggest competitor, so she wanted to destroy her younger sister's face. If her younger sister wasn't smart, she would have succeeded."

Qin Ruchu touched her arm and thought, "Her younger sister is really unlucky to have such a sister."

System: "No, she herself doesn't want to study, and she doesn't want her younger sister to study either. Her younger sister refused to do what she said, so she hated her younger sister. When her younger sister met a famous talented woman in the circle, she hated her even more and wished she would die. She secretly played several tricks on her younger sister, but her younger sister avoided them all."

What a clever girl! Liu Songyi became interested.

Tang Yi Zheng also wanted to see that his elder sister's schemes were hard to guard against. If it were him, he wouldn't be sure he could dodge them every time.

Qin Ruchu became interested. "Who is her younger sister?"

System: "The one sitting on her left, with a round face."

When Qin Ruchu looked over, a girl with a round face and as sweet as a peach appeared in her eyes.

Xu Yarong had been paying attention to this side, and when she saw Qin Ruchu's eyes fall on her younger sister, she became alert.
