Chapter 195 Min Hui Comes to the Door
Looking at the smiling and respectful Min Hui, Madam Min Qiao couldn't help but frown.
After more than half a year apart, Madam Min had almost forgotten about this person.
Unexpectedly, when they met again, Min Hui had come for Tang Yunxiu.
"Say it again, what are you doing here?"
Min Hui said with a smile, "Mother, there's no need to be so surprised. I've met Tang Yunxiu a few times. Although we're not close friends, we do have some mutual respect."
“His mother came to my door for help, so I couldn’t just ignore her. That’s why I came here to mediate between the Tang family.”
Madam Min sneered, "I never knew you had such a kind heart."
Min Hui didn't mind and said earnestly, "It was all my fault before. Only after moving out did I realize how good my mother was to me."
"Furthermore, one should marry a virtuous wife. Only after marrying Yue Rou did I realize that I was wrong before."
“I shouldn’t have listened to my aunt’s instigation and misunderstood my mother.”
"Son, I apologize to your mother here."
As he spoke, Min Hui stood up and bowed deeply to Min Qiao Shi.
His respectful attitude and sincere tone were so moving that, if it weren't for the things that happened in Min Qiao's previous life, she would have been touched by Min Hui.
Of course, Madam Min Qiao was not buying it.
"Alright, get to the point, stop with the nonsense."
Seeing that Madam Min Qiao was not buying it, Min Hui was not annoyed. He sat down again with a smile and said, "The Tang family means to ask the Marquis's Mansion if they can withdraw the lawsuit."
"They are willing to marry their second niece with a grand wedding procession."
"They dare not even think about their eldest niece anymore. They also dare not say anything about bringing their second niece into the family as a concubine."
"If the Marquis's residence permits, they can immediately send someone over to discuss the marriage with their second niece."
Madam Min Qiao scoffed, "Is this the Tang family's sincerity?"
Min Hui smiled awkwardly and explained, "The Tang family comes from a humble background and has no assets. We don't have the means to express our apologies."
"So the Tang family said that if their second niece marries into the family, they are willing to write a promise to her that they will never take a concubine in this lifetime."
Madam Min Qiao pouted, "Even in this state, you still want to marry a girl from the Min family?"
Min Hui couldn't very well say that the other person didn't actually want to marry a girl from the Min family; they were still thinking about their own future.
Seeing that Min Hui remained silent, Madam Min Qiao decided not to tease him anymore and had someone invite Min Yuexi over.
"Now, your eldest niece is in charge of the affairs of the Marquis's residence. If there's anything, you can talk to your eldest niece."
Min Hui's lips twitched.
You're not in charge of anything, yet you're telling me all this? Are you just messing with me because you have nothing better to do?
If Madam Min knew what he was thinking, she would definitely give him a thumbs up and tell him, "You're right."
She was just bored, so she deliberately listened to gossip and watched plays.
Otherwise, would she have allowed him into Songhe Hall?
Soon, Min Hui repeated what he had said to Min Qiao Shi to Min Yuexi before asking, "What does my eldest niece think?"
Madam Min sneered and said rather rudely, "Not good at all."
"Third Uncle, are you here representing the Tang family, or your in-laws, the Marquis of Annan?"
Min Hui was startled and looked at Min Yuexi in surprise, "How did you know...?"
Min Yuexi scoffed, "What do you know? Do you know that Third Uncle came at the behest of the Marquis of Annan? Or do you know that Tang Yunxiu has a connection with the Marquis of Annan?"
Upon hearing this, not only Min Hui, but also Min Qiaoshi was startled.
Tang Yunxiu actually has a connection with the Annam Marquis's Mansion?
It's normal that Tang Yunxiu married Feng Yuerou in his previous life and got involved with the An'nan Marquis's Mansion.
But the two never got married in this lifetime, so how did they become related?
Min Hui was also taken aback, but he quickly calmed down and smiled to cover it up, saying, "I don't know who you heard this news from, my dear niece. But I am here to mediate only at the request of the Tang family, and it has nothing to do with my in-laws."
"Really? It seems that Uncle Three really didn't know?"
"What do you know?" Min Hui had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Min Yuexi said coldly, "Tang Yunxiu is the young master of the family. The Annan Marquis's Mansion and the Sun family have close ties with the Lu family."
"Third Uncle is here to speak on behalf of the Lu family... Does that mean Third Uncle is also going to side with the Lu family and become an enemy of our Min family?"
Upon hearing this, Min Hui immediately became restless.
He flew into a rage, pointing at Min Yuexi and shouting, "What nonsense are you spouting? What Sun family or Lu family? I'm talking about the Tang family!"
"In short, do you agree or not? Give me a straight answer!"
Min Yuexi remained unfazed, sneering, "You think I'll let Tang Yunxiu go? Absolutely not! Unless..."
Min Hui retorted angrily, "Unless what?"
Min Yuexi smiled and said, "Unless they come up with 100,000 taels of silver to compensate the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion, and then the Sun family can bring Min Yuerui back in a grand manner to be the young mistress of the Sun family."
"You, you're being unreasonable!" Min Hui was furious at Min Yuexi's outrageous demands. "Don't you know what kind of family the Tang family is? Let alone 100,000 taels, they probably can't even come up with 100 taels."
"Furthermore, why should the Sun family be involved in marrying Tang Yunxiu and Min Yuerui?"
How did you even come up with that idea?
Min Yuexi's smile vanished, and she looked coldly at Min Hui. "Third Uncle, are you finished? If you are, please leave."
"These are my two requirements. I'll give them three days."
"If you don't get back to me in three days... well, we'll see."
"You..." Min Hui was so angry that he couldn't speak. He immediately cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Madam Min Qiao, then turned and left.
After everyone left, Min Yuexi smiled and said to Min Qiaoshi, "Grandmother, please forgive me for speaking rudely to my third uncle."
Min Qiao glanced at Min Yuexi speechlessly. Knowing full well that she remembered those things from her past life, she deliberately treated Min Hui rudely, and then said such things afterwards? It was just speechless!
"Alright, that was a good rebuttal. Keep it up in the future."
After saying that, he got up and left.
As soon as Madam Min Qiao left, Min Yuexi also quickly left Songhe Hall.
Once outside, Yu Hua quietly asked Min Yuexi, "Miss, do we really have to wait another three days? I think the Second Miss is getting impatient."
Min Yuexi smiled and said, "No need to wait. Go and tell Min Yuerui what I just said."
"Just tell me what I mean. I don't really want to marry into the Sun family. Tomorrow, I'll go to the yamen and send Tang Yunxiu to jail."
“As long as Tang Yunxiu’s future is completely ruined, I will have someone set aside a courtyard for her and her daughter in the Marquis’s mansion so they can live out their retirement. If they are unwilling, they can be sent to the estate to live.”
"No matter what, as long as they do what I ask, I can always give them a way to survive."
"Young Miss is so kind-hearted." Yu Hua flattered her slightly, "I'll go and pass on the message right away."
