Chapter 499 It turns out that he really wanted to cheat on his wife

. The Hu family had arranged everything, but they didn't expect Geng Zhiqiu not to show up for the appointment! They thought that even if the Geng family had some doubts now, they would still do this little face-saving work without evidence.

So when the two sides met, Mrs. Hu couldn't control her face and changed color on the spot when she knew that Geng Zhiqiu didn't come! Mrs. Geng was already a little suspicious in her heart, and her heart sank immediately. She only believed it five points at first, but now it became nine points, and the last piece of evidence was missing!

Both parties were absent-minded. Geng Zhiqiu didn't come, and Mrs. Hu didn't have the heart to deal with Mrs. Geng. After a while, she hurried back home on the pretext that something happened in the mansion.

Mrs. Geng also returned home with a gloomy face and told the matter.

"Mother, it seems that this marriage is indeed problematic. Let's forget it."

Madam Geng was also somewhat thankful, "Fortunately, the word hasn't been spread yet!"

Otherwise, it would be a dilemma now!

"Mother, there must be a reason why the Hu family is targeting us. We still have to be careful next time."

Who knows what the other party might do to force them.

Madam Geng nodded, "You are right. I will talk to your father about this matter in person when he comes back! And you, before this matter is handled, you should stay in the mansion and try not to go out!"

Lest you give others a chance!

This didn't matter to Geng Zhiqiu, as she seldom went out. She didn't have many friends in the capital, and she usually spent her time in the mansion, and only occasionally went out with her maids and guards.

It was also a coincidence that Bai Xiaosheng also found out about the Hu family's affairs and sent the results directly to the Geng family.

When Lord Geng returned home and saw the result, he was immediately furious. In the study, he scolded the Hu family for being too bullying! What

was even more infuriating was that the marriage between the two parties had not been made public, otherwise he could report it directly to the emperor and say that they were committing marriage fraud! Let them pay the price! And he

was also accusing Doctor Shi, bah!

But it was okay, at least his daughter's reputation was saved.

Concubine Jing was also very angry when she received this result. She hurriedly sent someone to the East Palace to invite Xu Muhua to her own palace.

Speaking of which, Concubine Jing had actually not had much contact with Xu Muhua before, but for some reason, she had a very good impression of Xu Muhua and wanted to get close to her!

When Xu Muhua arrived, she immediately poured out everything in her mind and complained bitterly!

"Your Majesty, this is a good thing! Otherwise, if Miss Geng finds out after she gets married, her second half of life will be ruined!"

Concubine Jing said thankfully, "Yes, thank you so much!"

She held Xu Muhua's hand tightly, full of gratitude, "Thanks to you for reminding me that day, I became suspicious and wanted to check it out, otherwise... I really can't imagine the consequences!"

When Zhiqiu was born, she didn't have a child yet, but she had been in the palace for a few years. She felt that there was no hope and thought that her life would be like this. There was no favor, and there was no child. It was likely that she would be alone in the palace for the rest of her life.

So for this niece, she treated her like her own child. Although the Geng family had not come to Beijing at that time and were far away, the eldest brother and sister-in-law had always asked people to send things to the palace, and they never forgot to insert a portrait of Zhiqiu every time.

She watched the lovely child grow up through the portraits.

After the Geng family came to Beijing, she summoned Zhiqiu to the palace and liked her even more after getting along with her.

First, she was her own niece, and second, she had placed a lot of emotions on Zhiqiu. There was always something different.

"I was a little oversuspicious, so I reminded Your Majesty. Anyway, it's always right to be cautious in this kind of thing. Now Miss Geng has avoided this disaster, which is a good thing."

Concubine Jing couldn't help but smile, but the smile fell again when she remembered something, and she couldn't help but sighed: "Okay, who knows... Now Zhiqiu's marriage has to be chosen again, and I don't know how long it will take to find a suitable marriage."

Speaking of this, Xu Muhua had a question to ask, "Your Majesty, don't think I'm too curious and out of measure. I think Miss Geng is beautiful and has a good personality. Why is she talking about marriage now?"

Geng Zhiqiu is already seventeen years old, and it's nothing that she hasn't married yet, but she hasn't even decided on a marriage, which seems a bit strange.

Women in Dayong usually discuss marriage before or after the age of 15, and after the age of 15, they can prepare for marriage. It's rare to see someone like Geng Zhiqiu, especially

since she's a daughter of an official family. Concubine Jing's expression froze for a moment, and then she said, "I won't hide it from you either, Zhiqiu... this child has a miserable life! Before my eldest brother and his wife came to Beijing, they had actually arranged a marriage for Zhiqiu at their place of work. Both parties knew each other well, and were just waiting for the couple to get married when they were old

enough." "But who would have thought that the other party's life would be even worse! He suddenly died of illness at such a young age! Now that he's dead, our Geng family can't marry him off, so this marriage can only be forgotten!"

"I don't know which person is so ungrateful that he said that Zhiqiu was unlucky and would kill her husband! I'm so angry! It was obviously his own poor health that took his life. We didn't say that the man's sudden death delayed Zhiqiu's life."

Jing Fei's anger came and went quickly. "This will affect Zhiqiu's reputation. She hasn't found a suitable marriage until now." She

thought that this niece was turning bad luck into good luck, but she didn't expect... her luck was really bad. Should she remind her sister-in-law to burn some incense or something?

Xu Muhua suddenly realized.

So that's the case, no wonder!

But it doesn't matter. She doesn't care about these things, and I believe her parents won't care either.

She thinks she has to hurry up on this matter!

Dad and big brother can't stay in the capital for long, they have to go back to the border soon. Her big brother has become an old bachelor! If Miss Geng delays any longer, she will become an old maid!

"This is not Miss Geng's fault, maybe this is a test from God. If she survives it, happiness will be waiting for Miss Geng."

Hearing this, Concubine Jing smiled, "I hope so too. Although it's a bit anxious, we still have to choose carefully." As she

spoke, Concubine Jing's voice suddenly rose, and she said excitedly: "I think next time there is a suitable candidate, if you are worried, go find Bai Xiaosheng again, give them money, and let them help to find out everything clearly, so you don't have to worry!"

Xu Muhua was silent.

Should she consider letting the three brothers of the Feng family start a sideline business, such as being matchmakers?
