Everyone was shocked!
They had heard of exchange marriages. If something happened before the marriage, there might be changes in the relationship between sisters and brothers.
But this was before marriage.
It's unheard of after marriage.
"I want to marry General Jiang Chen."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned for a long time before they could find their voices.
Did they hear it right?
Marry a general...?
How did she have the courage to propose that?
It’s not that the general is not good-looking. On the contrary, the general is as handsome as Pan An. Even if Lanling King were alive, he might not be more handsome than the general.
But even for such a good-looking person, they don't even dare to have any desire for him.
Nothing else.
The general has been fighting in the frontier since he was less than fifteen years old, and has been at the border for thirteen years.
During these thirteen years, he did come back several times, but his expression became colder each time.
The evil energy around him is getting heavier each time.
I used to dare to glance at her from a distance, but now it takes a lot of courage to even look up.
How could the young lady dare to ask to marry such a man?
The old lady said angrily: "Ridiculous! Nonsense!" She was shaking with anger.
How dare this person think this.
You should know that when the cavalry from Xiliang entered Dafeng, it was Jiang Chen who led his troops to resist and even drove them back to Xiliang.
Because of him, the General's Mansion is now ranked among the noble families, and he has even been granted the title of marquis by the current emperor himself.
With such status, he can even marry a princess.
Qingyin smiled indifferently in her heart.
If Xiao Qi hadn't told her that Jiang Chen was not the old lady's biological son, she might have actually believed her while she was standing up for Jiang Chen.
Qingyin said with a determined look, "If the old lady doesn't agree to the marriage, then either this cup of tea will appear in the Imperial Hospital, or my body will appear in the Imperial Hospital. After all, a weak woman like me can't leave this huge general's mansion."
The old lady seemed to have been hurt, and said with a look of surprise, "You kid, why are you talking nonsense again? If you really want to leave, this general's mansion will not stop you."
She might not be afraid of the Qing family, but Qingyin's grandfather was the imperial tutor of two dynasties.
If this really gets to the higher authorities, Chen'er is still far away at the border.
Thinking of this, a hint of worry appeared on the old lady's wrinkled face.
Qingyin shook the teacup in her hand, looked at the maid blocking her way, and said with a smile: "Didn't you hear the old lady's order? Get out of the way."
One of the maids was Yuzhu. She bit her lower lip and said, "I'm sorry, Madam."
How could she dare to let go until the old lady said something?
Qingyin didn't really plan to leave.
She was just bluffing.
The old lady pondered for a moment and said, "Qingyin, you have to know that Chen'er has been away at the border for thirteen years. It has been eight years since he last returned to Beijing. If you really switch, you will be a widow. Are you sure you want to switch? Also, if Chen'er wants to marry or divorce me in the future, I can't make the decision for you."
"Yinyin, don't worry. I won't let you live a life of widowhood. This lucky guy will return triumphantly within six months, and by then he'll become the first king of a different surname in this dynasty. Anyone who doesn't change is a fool."
Qingyin curled her lips, she was really looking forward to it.
Qingyin: "Of course I have to change it. After all, I don't want to sleep forever one day."
It is said that he will never wake up again, but everyone knows who Qingyin is talking to.
But, is this wrong?
Of course not.
The old lady laughed angrily and said three times in a row, "Good! Good! Good! I hope you won't regret it in the future."
She had sincerely looked for Chen'er in the past, hoping that he could get married and have children.
But he didn't want to.
Later, her husband and two sons died one after another at the border.
At that time, she hated it.
Why wasn't Jiang Chen the one who died?
Later, she became more open-minded.
This Jiang Chen doesn't get married and doesn't have children.
He also gave Sui Zhou the position of the crown prince of the general's mansion, so she should be satisfied.
When I was satisfied, I naturally felt a little guilty towards Jiang Chen.
But she was also afraid.
He was afraid that Jiang Chen would want to get married in the future, and he wanted to get the throne back for his child.
So, when she heard Qingyin's proposal of a marriage exchange, although she was furious, she could not ignore the hint of joy in her heart.
Qingyin cannot get pregnant. Even if she really marries him, it will not threaten Sui Zhou's identity.
After thinking it through, there was actually nothing she could do to stop it.
Asking that question is just for show to the world.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Shaoyao ran in hurriedly from outside.
She was supposed to keep watch last night, but somehow she fell asleep.
After waking up, I was stopped in the room and couldn't leave.
She lived in fear that day.
Fortunately, the lady is fine.
Qingyin glanced at her and said calmly, "Pack your things and let's move."
"Moving?" Shaoyao thought she had misheard.
Isn't this Miss's new house? Where are you moving to?
Qingyin patted her shoulder and said, "Don't ask anymore. Help me clean up first. I'll explain to you later."
Because the general's mansion had always been known for its poverty, she only brought two maids with her when she married in.
No, it should be one.
Another maid was replaced by Qing Qianqian.
I don’t know what the original owner was thinking, but she actually agreed to bring Qing Qianqian to marry here.
Although she was a maid, she could figure it out with her toes.
How could a concubine's daughter be content to be a maid?
Shaoyao had to hold back the questions she wanted to ask and started cleaning up nearby.
Fortunately, there weren't many things in the room, and the two of them packed up quickly.
Before leaving, Qingyin said to the old lady, "Please ask the old lady to arrange for someone to send my dowry to the general."
The old lady paused and nodded, "Of course. Yuzhu, take them to Chen'er's yard and serve them there from now on."
Yuzhu paused, a hint of nervousness appearing on her face, "Yes. Madam, please follow me."
Although Jiang Chen has not returned for several years, he has a very nice courtyard of his own called Qingfeng Courtyard.
Qingyin looked at these three words with satisfaction, saying that they matched her name very well.
Although the yard is deserted, it is quite clean.
Yuzhu walked in front, and soon an old man came out of the yard. Yuzhu greeted him, "Uncle Fu, this is Madam."
Uncle Fu was stunned. Madam? Madam?
In this huge general's mansion, it seems that there is no one else except the unmarried general.
Uncle Fu suddenly thought of something and was delighted. "Is it the General?"
Qingyin nodded slightly, "Uncle Fu, I am Jiang Chen's wife. I'm afraid I will bother you a lot in the future."
A smile immediately appeared on Uncle Fu's skinny face. "I dare not, I dare not. From now on, Madam, just call me if you need anything." Uncle Fu walked in front and led the way, introducing in a gentle voice: "The general likes quietness, so there are not many people serving in the courtyard."
There are pavilions, towers, rockery and flowing water.
It seems that this yard is a different world.
They walked slowly for a cup of tea before reaching the bedroom. Uncle Fu pushed open the door and said, "Madam, you will live here from now on."
