Chapter 167: A Child Marriage Arranged Between the Two Sides



Ning Xiaotang came to Liu Lanqing's yard with two bowls of dumplings.

"Dad, Mom! Have you had your meal yet?"

"Tangtang is here, come sit down and have some together."

"Okay, mother, these are the dumplings that Ye Jingxiao made himself, come and try them."

Quanyue immediately placed two bowls in front of Ning Lenian and Liu Lanqing.

After they both ate a dumpling, they said, "Yes, this dumpling is really delicious, and tastes very sweet!"

At Mrs. Qian's house

"Shi Sanyi, why do you have to avenge Qian Fangcao? She was clearly executed because of her own evil deeds!" It was rare for Mrs. Qian to say something fair.

In fact, it was because Mrs. Qian was afraid that Shi Sanyi's persistence would annoy Ning Xiaotang, and then all the relics of Qian Fangcao that she had obtained would be taken away by the people in Ning's house.

Shi Sanyi's eyes were filled with hatred as he said, "Although Fangcao was wrong, her crime is not punishable by death! Fangcao only set the trap, but it was Liu Xiangzhi who lured Ning Xiaotang into it who was the most heinous criminal!"

Qian Fangchun immediately said, "That's right. I heard that Liu Xiangzhi is still alive and took Liu Xiangzhu away. Who knows where the two sisters are living right now!"

Qian Fangchun was also extremely resentful. Originally, when Qian Fangcao married Ning Zilin, she could often give her delicious food and fun things. Now that Qian Fangcao is dead, she, Qian Fangchun, has to do housework and be beaten by Mrs. Qian. She blamed the Ning family and hated Ning Xiaotang especially!

Mrs. Qian's thoughts suddenly changed. "Fangchun, if you want to live an easy life, why not arrange a marriage with Ning Zike? That way, you can move into the Ning residence sooner, and I, Mrs. Qian, can also get some good fortune, right?"

"Mom! You must not do this. Qian Fangcao just died after entering the Ning family. I will never agree to let Fangchun enter the Ning residence again!" Shi Sanyi immediately pulled Qian Fangchun to his side with a distressed look.

"Go away, why bother with a little girl?" Mrs. Qian immediately rolled her eyes.

In Qian Pozi's view, Qian Fangchun's role is to give her another considerable betrothal gift, so that she will have food and drink when she is old.

"Shi Sanyi, let me tell you, Qian Fangcao was punished because she plotted against Ning Xiaotang and almost killed her. Qian Fangchun didn't do anything detrimental to the Ning family. If she married Ning Zike, she would be the legal wife!

Qian Fangchun, don't be so ungrateful! If you don't set your sights on the Ning family early on, don't cry secretly when you see others become the Ning family's owner in the future!"

It was obvious from Mrs. Qian's triangular eyes that she had her own plans in mind as soon as she saw her.

Her idea was correct, and Qian Fangchun understood it, but she was unwilling to let Mrs. Qian sell her to a rich family as a servant.

If she didn't arrange a marriage with Ning Zike as a child, then if Ning Zike got engaged to someone else in the future, she would have missed the opportunity.

"Mom, if Fangchun doesn't get engaged to the Ning family, you should just give up on this idea!" Shi Sanyi was afraid and hated the Ning family in his heart.

"Shi Sanyi, don't be so stubborn. Qian Fangcao is already dead, and the head of the Ning residence has given all of Qian Fangcao's belongings to our Qian family. If you don't want Qian Fangchun to marry Ning Zike, then look around in this village and see if there's any family living a more prosperous life than the Ning family."

Shi Sanyi immediately burst into tears: "But mother, are you not going to pursue the matter of Fangcao?"

Mrs. Qian immediately said, "Fangcao's death will also make the Ning family feel a little bit of favor. I will personally go to ask the old lady of the Ning family. As long as she agrees to let Ning Zike and my Fangchun get engaged, then Fangchun will be the master of the Ning family in the future.

Have you heard? The master of the Ning family receives a monthly allowance!"

Qian Fangchun's mind had been led astray by Mrs. Qian's words at this time, and the mentality of taking advantage of others had completely filled her mind.

And when she thought about the good life that Qian Fangchun would have in the future with maids serving her, she felt very happy.

"Grandma, go and beg Old Lady Ning tomorrow. If you can really let me become Ning Zike's childhood sweetheart, I won't mind my sister's death."

Shi Sanyi immediately touched Qian Fangchun's hand and said, "I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position, Fangchun."

"Mother, Fangchun is not wronged. If I don't arrange a marriage with Ning Zike, someone else might come to propose marriage soon. Their conditions and family background are probably not as good as the Ning family's.

Not to mention that Ning Zike is a good student now, the Ning family head should be able to train him vigorously."

Shi Sanyi's eyes immediately lit up and she said, "As expected, Fangchun is more sensible. Mother doesn't ask you to be successful in the Ning family, but she asks you to live a peaceful life!"

Mrs. Qian's eyes darkened as she said, "How can it not be prosperous? Do you know how to talk as a mother? It's really unlucky!"

Shi Sanyi wiped away her tears and said, "Mother, Qian Fangcao has been against Ning Xiaotang all this time because of your teachings. I went to seek revenge on Ning Xiaotang this time, but it injured my eldest brother and caused the owner of Tiedang Hall to lose 1,300 taels of silver. It can be said that I was defeated.

I don't ask the Ning family to marry my daughter Fangchun off for the glory of marriage. I only ask for a promise. As long as Ning Zike promises to marry Qian Fangchun as his legal wife, I will not care about the grudge between the Ning and Qian families! "

"Okay, I'll go to Ning's house and talk about this now." Mrs. Qian ran out immediately.

But Mrs. Qian immediately turned around and ran to find Doctor Xu.

"Xu Danggui, come out here!" Mrs. Qian immediately shouted angrily.

At this time, Xu Danggui was cutting herbs and immediately put down the scissors: "Mrs. Qian, what are you doing here?"

Mrs. Qian stepped forward and grabbed Xu Danggui's hand, saying, "Come with me to the Ning residence and help our Qian Fangchun marry Ning Zike as her legal wife. Let's arrange a marriage for both of them!"

"You can just go and do this, why do you have to ask me to do it?"

Xu Danggui's face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

"What do you want me to do? Xu Danggui, you can't just pull up your pants and deny it! Hurry up! If you don't go now, you won't be able to catch up with Old Lady Ning's good mood!"

Mrs. Qian knew that the old lady of the Ning family was in a particularly good mood after waking up from her nap, and it would usually be much easier to ask her for help at this time.

When Old Lady Ning, Luo Xiangqin, saw Xu Danggui and Mrs. Qian coming together, and their attitude towards each other was very friendly, she instantly knew the gossip in the village, and the two of them no longer avoided it.

Luo Xiangqin took the teacup, took a sip and said, "Please sit down. I will discuss this matter with the old man and give you a definite answer in a few days."

Mrs. Qian pulled Xu Danggui along to act brave, and it really worked.

"Thank you so much, Madam Ning!" Mrs. Qian's triangular eyes were full of excitement.

"Miss, that old woman Qian is in the old lady's courtyard. I wonder what she's doing!" Quan Yue immediately reported.
