Chapter 498 It is better to believe it than not.

Geng Zhiqiu is a smart person who can think and judge.

After seeing the letter, even if she doesn't believe it, she will consider it.

Which consequence will be more serious, going to the appointment or refusing to go to the appointment.

If she doesn't go to the appointment, the Hu family will really have no problem. If they are really sincere in marrying her, they will certainly not be dissatisfied with her and the Geng family because of such a small matter. And she can find a perfect excuse, saying that she is not feeling well or something.

But if it is true, she will save herself if she doesn't go.

Any person who can think knows how to choose which is more important.

Xu Muhua still believes in her own vision and judgment.

She asked Wu Ya to take the letter to find Geng Zhiqiu.

Geng Zhiqiu did receive an invitation from the son of the Hu family, or to be more precise, an invitation from the wife of the Hu family. But everyone understood the meaning of this, which was actually the final meeting.

The parents of their two families had met and talked before, and she had also met the young master of the Hu family accompanied by her parents. I heard that both the parents of the Hu family and himself were very satisfied with her, and they expressed their sincerity in marrying her.

And she herself had a good impression of the young master of the Hu family, so she was also very satisfied with this marriage.

When she returned to her room from the main courtyard, she found an extra letter on the table, and she was surprised. Who knew that when she picked it up and took a look, her face changed instantly.

Geng Zhiqiu looked at the content of the letter and was a little at a loss for a while.

After a long time, she put away the letter, turned around and hurried to the main courtyard again!

"Mom, tell me, is there any change in the Hu family's marriage?"

Geng Zhiqiu asked bluntly.

Mrs. Geng was stunned for a moment, "Did you hear something?"

She didn't deny it directly, and Geng Zhiqiu's heart sank, and he understood.

"Mom, what happened? Wasn't it fine before? Why did it suddenly..."

Mrs. Geng saw this and didn't hide it, and said, "It was your aunt. When you came back from the palace a few days ago, didn't your aunt ask you to take a letter to your father? Your aunt suspected that there was something fishy about the Hu family, so she asked your father to investigate again."

"Your father did ask someone to investigate, but they didn't find anything suspicious. We all think that your aunt is too cautious and suspicious, but she insisted on asking us to find the legendary Bai Xiaosheng in the capital to investigate!"

She sighed, "We don't know what your aunt means, but since she asked your father to investigate, then let's investigate. We kept it a secret from you because we don't want you to be suspicious."

First of all, they didn't know what Concubine Jing meant, and secondly, Bai Xiaosheng hadn't given an answer yet, and they didn't know what Bai Xiaosheng would find out. They

had also heard of the name Bai Xiaosheng, and it was said that there was nothing they couldn't find out!

If there was really a problem with the Hu family, then Bai Xiaosheng would definitely be able to find it!

They were also thinking of waiting for the results before making a decision.

"By the way, why do you ask this suddenly? Is there someone gossiping in the mansion?"

Mrs. Geng asked.

It shouldn't be the case. She and her husband kept this matter a secret, for fear that some unpleasant words would be spread out and affect their daughter's reputation.

Geng Zhiqiu hesitated for a moment and took out the letter he had just received, "Mother, I just returned to the room and saw an extra letter on the table."

Mrs. Geng took it in confusion, opened it and her face changed immediately, "Is this true?"

Geng Zhiqiu shook his head, "Mother, I don't know if it's true. I don't even know who sent the letter. I saw it on the table when I got back, and asked the maid outside, and she said that no one had been here, and no one had even entered."

"Could it be that your aunt sent someone to send it?"

Mrs. Geng guessed.

"But if it was my aunt, why is she so mysterious?"

This question really stumped Mrs. Geng.

Yes, if it was sent by my sister-in-law, why not be more direct, but make it so mysterious?

"Mother, I think it is better to believe it than not to believe it. I will not go to the invitation of the Hu family tomorrow. I will say that I caught a cold last night and have a fever. I called the doctor and have to stay in the mansion to rest."

Geng Zhiqiu has made his choice.

Mrs. Geng was a little hesitant, "Zhiqiu, you know what the meeting with the Hu family means. If you don't go, what if the Hu family..."

"Mom!"

Geng Zhiqiu called out, "If the Hu family really wants to marry into our family, they will not change their minds because of such a small matter. What if what is said in the letter is true, the consequences will be disastrous!"

After she said this, Mrs. Geng was also afraid, and hurriedly said, "Then do as you say!"

"Mom, don't tell Dad about this for now, let's talk about it after tomorrow."

Mrs. Geng nodded, frowning.

Oh, what is going on! How can a good marriage suddenly have so many problems? Is there really a problem with the Hu family?

Of course, she didn't want this marriage to have any problems. After all, no matter from which perspective, this marriage is the best marriage. If it really happens, my daughter can be considered to have married up.

Although my sister-in-law is in the palace and has been promoted to the position of concubine, she has never been favored. The eighth prince is also not favored, and he is still young. The Geng family did not get any benefits from it. Zhiqiu is lucky to be favored by the Hu family this time. If something really happens, then...

the more Mrs. Geng thinks about it, the more worried she becomes.

The next day, Geng Zhiqiu really did not show up for the appointment. Only Mrs. Geng went out with her maids and old women.

Xu Muhua also received the news at the first time, and was relieved to know that Geng Zhiqiu was obedient and did not show up for the appointment.

She guessed that it must be the Geng family's movements that alarmed the Hu family. The Hu family was probably guilty, fearing that the Geng family would really find out something, so they prepared a ruthless move to directly settle the marriage between the two families!

As long as the marriage is settled, even if the Geng family knows the truth at that time, they can only pinch their noses and accept it!

The Hu family planned to take advantage of today's meeting to make arrangements for Geng Zhiqiu and their young master to have a done deal! In this way, the Geng family had no way out and could only choose to marry Geng Zhiqiu into the Hu family!

As for whether they would offend Concubine Jing afterwards... what a joke. They did not dislike Miss Geng's infidelity, promiscuity, and shamelessness before marriage, and they were willing to welcome her as their legal wife. The Geng family should be very grateful. What qualifications do they have to complain?

Besides, even if they suspect that it was done by the Hu family, do they have any evidence? If

the matter gets out of hand, it will not benefit anyone!

The Hu family can still find someone else to marry, but can Miss Geng marry again? I'm afraid she will have to become a nun and spend her whole life in a nunnery!
