Chapter 52 No Regret Medicine
Wang didn't care about the father and daughter. She hired a sedan chair and went to her eldest sister's house.
Seeing her sister coming, Wang Xiujuan asked quickly, "Have you heard about it?"
"I heard about it! Sister, how come I didn't know about this marriage to the Liang family before?!" Wang asked anxiously as she sat down.
"Hey, our ancestors didn't get along well, and there was a lot of fuss when the family was divided, but they didn't visit each other much later. Especially since the main branch of the Liang family was awarded a title for merit, we are embarrassed to be associated with it, so we don't mention it much!"
"Sister...can our relationship still be successful?" Wang looked at her sister carefully, not seeing much joy on her face, and felt panicked.
"Oh! What can I say... Now, things are really a bit troublesome!" Wang Xiujuan lost her usual calmness.
"...Don't!" Wang said helplessly, her heart suddenly sank. Was that little girl really right?
"You don't know: within one day, the news spread among all the acquaintances. It was like they had wings... Oh, the number of people who went to the Liang family to propose marriage was almost breaking down the door."
"Didn't the Liang family say that they had made an agreement with the Mohist family?" Wang was anxious, her face covered in sweat.
"You are confused. If a family encounters such a thing, they will be very depressed! The Liang family didn't say anything, and they didn't get close to other families. Now there is a problem: his old lady has also got involved!"
"Ah?! What? She wants to take care of this?" Wang became even more anxious.
"I told you before, didn't I? This old lady in his family is a second wife. She was forced to become a concubine because of something that delayed her marriage in her early years.
His family background is not bad. He only gave birth to two daughters and no sons, so the Liang family has lived a stable life for so many years. Originally, the girls in her family did not like Liang You, but now it is different! This old lady wants to give her niece's granddaughter to Liang You. "
Upon hearing this, Wang became even more panicked. She had also seen the old lady from the Liang family once before. Although she looked ordinary, she was dressed in a low-key and elegant manner, spoke slowly, and was always holding herself up. It was obvious that she came from a wealthy family!
"Our sister Yi hasn't decided to go with him yet. It's hard to say now..."
"What should I do? The duck is right in front of my mouth!" Wang sat there dejectedly.
Her son-in-law is about to fly away...
"Mrs. Liang is in a dilemma. She has asked someone to tell me the news. She said that the family is in a mess and she can't take care of anything. We can only wait a little longer..."
"Sister, how about we go talk to her again? If Liang You really becomes a marquis, then it will be different!"
Wang Xiujuan sighed, "Of course I understand. But at this point, there's no point in being anxious. It's not right to rush in! Don't be confused. Go back and wait!"
"What about Liang You? What's his idea?"
"After he entered the Marquis' Mansion, he never left. He didn't even go home! A total of five people went there this time. You know what is most important to him right now! Although the Marquis's wife said that those who could not inherit the title would be well settled. But inheriting the title and being well settled are far apart!"
Wang nodded silently.
"He has never been exposed to these things before, so he can't have any thoughts about them now! Regarding the marriage... I'm afraid he can't make the decision, so don't pester him about these things!"
"Oh!" Wang sighed, feeling heartbroken.
I also heard Wang Xiujuan say: "It would have been better if this matter had been finalized at that time."
Wang was so regretful when she heard this, but she didn't dare to tell her sister. It was all that damn girl's fault. She had nothing better to do than to pick a fight with me.
Otherwise, I'll just run around and it will be settled!
"I didn't expect Liang You to have this opportunity!" she murmured.
"In my opinion, he still has a good chance. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has even obtained the title of a scholar! In this world, how many people are good at both civil and military affairs?"
Wang Xiujuan looked at her sister with disdain again, "Just be calm and generous. Don't be so moody. Whether it succeeds or not, we can't have a bad relationship with the Liang family! If Liang You can really become a marquis... for the sake of the future, we can't dwell on this one matter! Do you understand?" In her heart, if it doesn't work out, she can use Liang You's guilt to benefit herself, that's also okay!
"Oh. I understand..." Although Wang agreed, her personality was not one that could take on responsibilities.
He returned home in a depressed mood with a gloomy face.
When the father and daughter came back, I told them what my sister said, and everyone was speechless...
Mo Yi remained calm and went back to his room.
Although, she thought that things might not go smoothly.
But how can one hope for bad luck?
Thinking of Liang You’s smiling face... it was like the sun was shining on it, but in private he was still a little cunning... so much so that in the few days after that meeting, every time I thought of him, I would blush and my heart would beat fast.
As for this matter, it would be fine if it had never happened.
I had a clear hope, but it turned out to be nothing! This feeling is really unpleasant. I finally understand the feeling my father expressed a few days ago.
I picked up the nearly finished purse next to me. It was two-toned and double-sided, one side was dark green, with a pattern made of purple silk thread, spelling out the two words "Neng Wen".
The other side is navy blue, with the word "Nengwu" embroidered with the same purple thread.
I won’t say how delicate and beautiful it is, but it is a bit strange, and the words on it seem a bit boastful… There was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth. Originally, it was because of his appearance last time that he wanted to play a trick on him.
"I can't send it away..." He closed his eyes and tears flowed down.
In the evening, when they went to the dining room for dinner, Mo Rushan drank a few glasses of wine by himself, and then complained again: "Since everything has been discussed, why don't you ask the matchmaker to settle the matter?"
Liu had been eager to try for a long time, and now she said with a smile on her face: "Oh, big brother, you can't say that! It's not settled, and the news hasn't been spread. If it doesn't work, then it won't work. If it's settled, but the Liang family regrets the engagement, that would be terrible! What will happen to the girls of the Mo family!"
The two Mo brothers were furious, but they were both polite people and they couldn't talk to a woman, so they looked at their wives calmly.
Zhuang frowned, "Come on! Third sister-in-law, please stop talking! When a girl at home encounters something like this, you, as her aunt, don't feel sorry for her but jump out to say something."
"Oh! What is there to be sad about? People are determined by their fate. A crow cannot turn into a phoenix. God has his own arrangements! It is just that no one loves us, Mo Yuan, and no one can get close to us. Otherwise, we would be so embarrassed now!" Liu's words were unpleasant.
"Do you know what it means to be embarrassed?" Wang opened her mouth.
"I didn't know! But now you should know, right?" Liu replied proudly.
Wang slammed the table and said, "Whether it's shameful or not is our Second House's business! It has nothing to do with you and Mo Yuan. Liu Sujin, don't ask about our affairs in the future. And don't mix our two families together! Live your own lives and don't always be jealous of others!"
"What's the big deal! Who's jealous?" Liu looked indifferent.
Mo Yuan sat obediently, with her head lowered and her eyes submissive, as if she didn't hear anything.
Wang sneered, "That's perfect! My brother just got some fresh fabrics from the south and gave me some. The fabrics are beautiful and expensive, but there aren't many. They're perfect for making spring clothes. I was originally in a dilemma because I couldn't make one for each of the girls in my family. Now it's good. I don't have to give it to Mo Yuan, so I don't have to worry about it anymore."
Liu regretted it immediately and tried to make amends: "Oh, I was just talking casually, helping to analyze it. Don't be angry, second sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, it's time to make spring clothes. Let's go to the store you are familiar with and have a look later!" She regretted it so much in her heart: I have a stinky mouth, why did I provoke her now?
Wouldn't it be nice to just watch the joke in secret from the sidelines?
But she was quite good at swallowing her pride, so she laughed awkwardly and talked nonsense. She poked the food in the bowl with her chopsticks and cursed in her heart: Mo Yi deserved to be dumped!
Mo Yuan had been close to Mo Wen recently, and had first-hand information, so she told her mother. Her mother got upset... She immediately regretted it, thinking that it was not worth it today. In the future, she would have to think carefully about what to tell her mother and what not to tell her.
Glancing at Mo Yi, he couldn't help but wonder if this girl was stupid or just being timid.
Look at him, he's not moving at all, and his expression hasn't changed at all!
It's like it's not her business...
