Chapter 11: The Cuckoo Occupies the Magpie's Nest
The one who came was Songyan's mother, Madam Zheng.
She had always been a fierce person. Now she pointed at Lu Qiniang's nose and scolded, "You've already left the Zhou family, and you still seduce my son! Do you have any shame?"
Lu Qiniang's face flushed red. "Aunt Zheng, you misunderstood. I'm several years older than Songyan and I treat him as my younger brother. It's not like what you think..."
"Have you thought about it? You know what's going on in your heart. You're a ghost that won't go away. You don't even take a piss to look at yourself. What kind of character do you have? You still want to seduce my son."
"Bullshit!" Erya pushed Nanny Zheng hard like a little cannonball. "You damn old woman, you've eaten horse manure and your mouth stinks! My mother doesn't even care about the Fifth Young Master, but she cares about your good son! Stop flattering yourself, who do you think you are!"
The little girl's voice was crackling, crisp and loud, and she didn't suffer any loss at all.
"You don't care about the Fifth Young Master? You're not afraid of your tongue being blown away by the wind! Who is the Fifth Young Master? He's the hope of our Zhou family. He passed the imperial examination at the age of twenty. He's like the Wenquxing from heaven!"
"So what if Wenquxing comes down to earth? My mother doesn't care."
"Er Ya, that's enough, you go in." Lu Qiniang shook her head at her, "Don't get involved in adult matters, little kid. Song Yan and I borrowed the money, so don't get involved with the Fifth Young Master."
"Look, admit it, you're looking for Songyan just for money. Don't treat me like a fool, I knew a long time ago that you had a crush on my son."
"Aunt Zheng, you're wrong. I have three daughters and have never thought about getting married again..."
"Tsk tsk, instead of getting married, you buy a husband?" Someone watching the fun outside sneered.
"Buy a husband? What do you mean buy a husband?"
This question was not asked by Nanny Zheng, but by Song Yan who came hurriedly.
Songyan was running with sweat all over his forehead. He had come to stop his mother from throwing a tantrum, but when he heard this, he went crazy.
"This is a long story," Lu Qiniang said. "Songyan, first make it clear to Aunt Zheng that I'm lending you money, not having any intentions towards you."
"Okay, wait, I'll settle the score with you later." Song Yan looked at her as if she had betrayed him.
Lu Qiniang: “…”
Song Yan was furious at her mother: "I've made it very clear to you, I don't like Lu Qi Niang! You insist on ruining my reputation everywhere and making it impossible for me to get married, right? If you continue to act recklessly, I'll call my father."
Nanny Zheng is afraid of this son.
So she left cursing, and before leaving she said that she would never accept this daughter-in-law.
Lu Qiniang: “…”
What is going on?
Seeing many people outside watching the excitement, Song Yan angrily chased them away, then closed the door, his eyes almost blazing with fire: "Lu Qinniang, what's the matter with buying a husband?! The Fifth Young Master is not here, and you are carrying him like this..."
"Stop it," Lu Qiniang said. "Who am I to be associated with Wenquxing? Borrowing money is borrowing money, and one thing is one thing. I owe you money, and your mother misunderstood and scolded me, so I'll just treat it as interest on the loan. But if you make up a story about me and the Fifth Young Master, then I'm going to turn hostile!"
"Don't change the subject. I asked you what's going on with buying a husband?"
"That's it." Lu Qinniang said, "Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. I can't find a man, so what's wrong with buying one?"
"You, you..." Song Yan was surprisingly angry. After a while, he stomped his feet and cursed, "You are shameless!"
"Okay, go back quickly. I will find a way to return the money to you as soon as possible." Lu Qiniang drove people away.
Songyan jumped up and said, "Where's your husband? I want to see what kind of person can compare to the Fifth Young Master."
Erya murmured quietly beside him, "In terms of appearance, he is really comparable."
However, all that remains is the face.
The window was pushed open with a creak.
Song Yan looked in the direction of the sound and met a pair of deep eyes, and then...
My throat suddenly tightened.
The man's silhouette was immersed in the twilight. The wind blew snowflakes across his temples, but it was not as cold as his eyes - like a blade tempered by a thousand years of frost. When he glanced at him casually, even the crows in the trees suddenly fell silent.
The way he tapped the window frame with his fingers was extremely dignified. He was clearly leaning lazily against the shaky window frame, yet it reminded people of the gray wolf lurking on the lonely cliff of the snowy ridge.
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on the back of Songyan's neck.
This man's power does not lie in the moment when his sword is unsheathed, but in the shadow cast by his eyelashes when he lowers his eyes. It makes people feel that there is a darker soul lurking under his skin, as if one would fall into the abyss if they took one more look.
The night outside the window suddenly became as dark as ink.
"You, where did you buy your husband from?" Song Yan took two steps back and asked Lu Qiniang in a low voice.
She is really something, she dares to bring anyone home.
The man in front of me, at first glance, is no ordinary person.
It's daunting and makes me break out in sweat.
"It's Xiao Yan. I told you before," Lu Qiniang said in a low voice, "He's been kind to me, I can't just stand by and watch him die."
"Who? Who are you talking about?" Song Yan suddenly looked up at her.
"Keep your voice down. Xiao Yan was an official before, so he has some dignity to maintain."
Songyan: "...You!"
Is that an official?
That's a very important official, okay?
She dares to do things that no one else dares to do!
"You, you, you..." Song Yan was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"I have received a favor from someone, I cannot just stand by and watch him die." Lu Qinniang repeated this sentence over and over again.
Songyan no longer felt jealous for her own young master.
After all, someone like Xiao Yan would definitely look down on Lu Qiniang.
"You should always pay attention to your reputation." Song Yan lowered her voice and said, "No wonder you want to borrow money. It turns out there's another mouth to feed at home. What can I say about you?"
He cursed while taking out money.
Lu Qiniang quickly refused: "No, no."
Borrowed money must be repaid.
She has enough money on hand now.
Song Yan didn't force him, but whispered, "If you need money, come to me. But you have to remember, reputation is very important. If you ruin your reputation, even if the Fifth Young Master passes the exam..."
"Go away quickly." Lu Qinniang carried the person out directly.
Xiao Yan's eyes were deep.
It turns out that widows also have their spring.
He passed the imperial examination at the age of 20 and took part in the spring examination after the New Year. He was indeed no ordinary person.
He has taken over someone else's nest.
