Chapter 139 What Kind of Unlucky Constitution Does the Qian Family Have?
Until she left the hall, Xu never paid Wang any attention.
Wang was still looking forward to introducing her two granddaughters to Xu, but it was not until the people in the hall left one after another and she and her three grandchildren were the only ones left in the room that she realized belatedly that the marriage was just a wishful thinking on her part.
"Grandma, what should we do?"
Zhang Hexuan, who wanted to marry into a wealthy family, kept looking outside. Why were people's attitudes different from what her grandmother had said before?
Or... was it Qian who was behind all this and said bad things about them?
Wang stood up and looked around the hall.
One day, she wants the Zhang family to be as grand and majestic as this one.
"We will definitely pay you back a hundred or a thousand times for the humiliation we have suffered now. Grandmother will definitely find a good family for you."
She has taken a fancy to the Xu Mansion!
In the backyard, Xu, who was entertaining guests, suddenly sneezed loudly.
"Madam, it's cold and windy, please put on your cloak."
The nanny took the cloak from the servant with concern and wanted to put it on Xu, but Xu frowned slightly and raised her hand to take it down.
"Not yet."
She didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere, she just felt something strange... like someone was staring at her.
Thinking of Wang's bizarre methods and Qi Shouzheng's misfortunes over the past decade, her heart instantly sank.
She had seen all of Wang's eager gaze just now. She didn't really think that she would fall in love with those two little girls!
Not only have they not yet reached the age of marriage, but according to the conventions and customs of various prefectures in the capital, girls basically get married between the ages of seventeen and eighteen.
Those two girls are so young, does she really want her son to wait for them to grow up?
The more Xu thought about it, the more she felt cold. "Go and have someone keep a close eye on Wang, and the three kids she brought with her. They must not be allowed to have any contact with anyone in the mansion."
Wang's methods are so evil, who knows what strange things will happen if you get involved.
After Lu Xinran finished eating Wang's big melon, he was pulled to the garden by his two younger sisters.
The Xu family was wealthy, and the Xu mansion was decorated with carved beams and painted buildings. Whether it was the courtyard or the garden, every step was a different scene, luxurious and elegant.
Lu Xinran was like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden, with her voices of shock and exclamation so dense that they could make one deaf.
Lu Xinling was the youngest and not good at hiding what was on her mind, so she almost laughed out loud because of how funny it was.
"Second sister, do you like the Xu Mansion?"
"I like it, don't you like it?"
Lu Xinran's reply was very natural, causing Lu Xinling to burst out laughing.
"Since Second Sister likes this place so much, and Madam Xu likes you so much, it would be perfect for you to marry here in the future."
Lu Xinran rolled his eyes speechlessly, "You are just a child, you just like to say stupid things."
Lu Xinling: “…”
It turned out that it was not her true feelings, and she was criticized directly!
Winter has arrived, and the biting cold wind blowing on my cheeks causes a stinging sensation.
There were few people in the garden. Occasionally, someone was seen not far away, but as soon as the other party saw them, they would immediately hide away.
Unable to find a target to attack, several people were very disappointed and asked their servants to lead them to the courtyard where Kong and others were resting.
The courtyard is exquisite and compact, with three main rooms and six side rooms. There is a pine tree in the middle of the courtyard and a plum tree leaning sideways in the corner.
The four were led into a private room where a charcoal basin was already burning brightly, and on the table were tea, fruits, and various snacks.
"Miss Lu, I am in the yard."
"good."
Lu Xinran smiled gently and waited for the servants from the Xu Mansion to leave. She then waved her hand to signal the maids and nannies serving them to find a place to rest. Only then did the four sisters sit down.
"Tongzi, can you tell who is in the next room?"
The system grunted for a long time before mumbling in frustration, "Not yet."
It is estimated that it can only be upgraded after the health value is full for five years.
Lu Xinran sighed in disappointment, "You are so useless."
The system snorted angrily, very dissatisfied.
But thinking that he could never win the argument with the host, he could only sulk in frustration.
Lu Xinling ran out with a thump, and after a while ran back with a thump, and then said something casually.
"I just saw the wife of the Minister of War in the main room. It seems that the second wife of the Minister of War, Zou, is also there."
"Who else?"
Lu Xinran instantly became interested. If she remembered correctly, the eldest prince Song Junhe's maternal grandfather was the Minister of War Sun Linyuan.
Qi Shouzheng, the Minister of War, might be Song Junhe's right-hand man.
Lu Xinling listened to her thoughts, said "wait a moment", and went out again.
When I came back, all the information was collected.
"There is also the wife of the Minister of Personnel and the wife of the Crown Prince of the Marquis of Loyalty."
How did these people get together?
While Lu Xinran was puzzled, he had already clicked on the booklet belonging to the Zou family.
[They are talking about the marriage of children. How boring. ]
The relationships among the various prefectures in the capital are complicated and intricate. If you look at them carefully, you will find that there are intricate relationships between the various prefectures.
[However, Qian's eldest daughter is only twelve years old, far from the age of marriage. Why is she so anxious? ]
In the main room, Zou was talking and laughing, and the sudden sound of doubt in her ears almost made her scream out in surprise.
How come I can't escape from that girl from the Lu family no matter where I hide?
Qian's heart was in a knot, and she didn't know why Zou suddenly proposed a marriage.
Although Qi Shouzheng has no children yet, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Qi family will become the mistress of the family in the future.
There is no reason to give it to the second son of the second wife.
But Zou was a powerful person and she brought in two lobbyists. The three of them sang the same tune and did not give her any chance to speak.
She was anxious and didn't know what to do, and this voice in her heart was like the sound of nature.
Her eldest daughter...was saved.
Zou was already feeling a little restless, and her smile became a little stiff when she met Qian's suddenly relaxed gaze.
[Oh, I see. It turns out that her precious son has contracted a serious disease. The imperial physician said it in a tactful way, but it also meant that he would not survive the winter.]
【Zou was unwilling to see her precious son's condition go to waste, and watched his condition getting worse day by day, so she decided to give him a surprise.】
[But she looked down on girls from ordinary families. Since she married into the Sun family, she has been competing with her sister-in-law in every way. The sons of her eldest sister-in-law all married girls from the ministers' houses, so she set her sights on Qian.]
[She knew that Qian had no children and was soft-hearted and easily bullied, so she wanted to force her to marry her eldest daughter to her as a gift, and even found two close friends to help her force Qian to accept the marriage.]
[What kind of unlucky physique does Qian have that attracts only such disgusting and despicable people?]
[How could Zou have the nerve to force others to accept this marriage by marrying their twelve-year-old eldest daughter to bring good luck? ]
[Even if Qi Shouzheng has no children, and even if he is only the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War instead of the Minister of War, he is not someone that a lowly person like her can control.]
[If I were Qian, I would go to the front yard to find Qi Shouzheng and directly push this troublesome matter to him to deal with.]
