Chapter 152 Liang Yingkui

"Madam Zou, what happened?"

Old Madam Zou lowered her head to hide her surprise and said calmly, "I'm sorry, I lost control and broke the teacup."

Meng Shanqing heard this and asked hurriedly, "Did you get burned?" She didn't want anything to go wrong at her niece's family reunion party today.

"It wasn't permed. It's my fault. I disturbed everyone's interest."

"I'm glad you're not hurt. It's just a cup of tea. How can you say it's not a big deal?" Meng Shanqing didn't notice anything wrong and called the maid to serve another cup of tea to Madam Zou.

But Liang Qingzi felt something was wrong. When the lady bowed, she was staring at the expressions of the people below. When Mrs. Zou saw Kui'er's face, her face changed drastically. She saw it all. But today was a good day for the lady, so Liang Qingzi suppressed her thoughts and decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes and see what Mrs. Zou would do next.

At this time, a maid from the Liang residence came in from outside and said, "Madam, the master asked me to come and tell you that if we have greeted each other properly, you can lead the third young lady to the front."

Meng Shanqing immediately understood what her man meant. He had been dreaming of having a concubine for half his life, and now he finally had a niece, and he couldn't wait to show her off.

Seeing that her daughter looked fine and not tired, Liang Qingzi said, "Sister-in-law, take Kui'er over there. I'll take care of things here." She took the cloak and wrapped the girl tightly, "Kui'er, go with your aunt to meet the uncles and say hello."

The reason why Liang Qingzi did this was that she wanted to see what Old Madam Zou would say after Kui'er left. And not only her, but all the female relatives present should have a lot of questions to ask... So this opportunity was perfect, she could get Kui'er out of the way temporarily.

After the sister-in-law and Kui'er left, Liang Qingzi took the opportunity to instruct the maid to tell her to let the mistress take Kui'er and not rush back. After she said this, the sister-in-law would definitely understand.

At the beginning, everyone was just chatting about some trivial things. Liang Qingzi was not surprised. They were all experienced people and would never get straight to the point right away.

"I haven't even congratulated you on having such a beautiful daughter yet. I'm so jealous of you."

Liang Qingzi took a look and saw that the lady who was speaking had only one son of her own and a lot of concubines' daughters. From her expression, she was really envious. She smiled and said, "Maybe God has mercy on me. I can't give birth to children myself, so Kui'er was sent to me. I heard from my brother that your son is very smart and has a bright future. Madam Wei, you are much more blessed than me, aren't you?"

In fact, Liang Qingzi didn't even know whether her son was round or flat, but she didn't stop her from saying it to make Mrs. Wei happy. She even felt a little sympathy for Liang Qingzi, thinking that she had no biological children in her life and was alone, which was really pitiful.

"You are a naughty boy, how can you compare to the caring lady? God must love you, otherwise how could you meet such a good lady?"

"If you ask me, it's because of your kindness, Qingzi, that this fate has come about. But Kui'er is a well-behaved and sensible child, so your efforts are worth it."

The person who was speaking now was Meng Shanqing's mother. After listening to a few words, she realized that her daughter's sister-in-law wanted to lead everyone to talk about Kui'er. Otherwise, according to her temper, she would not bother to say such polite words. Although she didn't know why, she continued to follow the words.

"Kui'er is a well-behaved and sensible child. I don't have to worry about anything. It's really an honor to say that I've put so much effort into her. I'm also lucky that I don't have to go through the pain of childbirth and I just got a child for free."

Hearing this, Madam Zou, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up, "Don't say you don't worry. I have never seen anyone who doesn't worry about raising a daughter. Just choosing a son-in-law will be enough for you to worry about. I think the third girl is twelve or thirteen this year. She will soon be married. You will be busy enough by then."

Liang Qingzi was thinking in her heart, she finally spoke, and she thought she wouldn't have any questions from her today.

If you pay close attention to what Old Lady Zou said and try to figure it out, you will easily realize that she just wants to find out about Kui'er's age.

Liang Qingzi lowered her eyes, picked up the tea and took a sip, "What the old lady said is true, but there is no rush for our Kui'er. Kui'er suffered a lot when she was young, and now she is fifteen or sixteen years old, but she still looks like a child. I have to keep her at home for a few more years and love her for a few more years. How can I bear to let her get married so early?"

These words touched the hearts of many ladies. Who who loves their daughters so much would be willing to let their daughter get married so early? Madam Shen has been unable to sleep at night recently because her daughter's wedding is approaching.

After hearing this, he said, "It's probably the same for all those who have daughters. On the one hand, they want to find a good son-in-law for their daughters, but on the other hand, they don't want them to get married."

Many wives with daughters can relate to this. They are worried if their daughter doesn't get married, and even more worried if she gets married. Anyway, they can't let go of this worry for the rest of their life.

But after that, Madam Zou had no mood to think about what everyone said. She was full of thoughts about the fifteen or sixteen years old Liang Qingzi mentioned... Madam Zou was more and more surprised. This age was just right. And she heard before she came that the child brought back by the wife of Marquis Xuanping was not in good health, so she hurriedly asked for the imperial physician as soon as she arrived in the capital.

Old Madam Zou wanted to find out the truth immediately, but she also knew that asking too much would only arouse suspicion, so it would be better for her to go back and investigate privately first.

Liang Qingzi kept looking at Old Madam Zou while drinking tea, and sure enough...

Afterwards, the female family members turned to talk about this year's imperial examination, saying that the results would be announced in a few days. Liang Qingzi also knew that today was almost the time, so she winked at her personal maid, meaning that they could go and call the lady and Kui'er back.

Shen Yuan has always been a man of few words in such occasions, but today these ladies have been talking non-stop, and a girl of her age could only listen in silence.

She also noticed that something was wrong with Old Madam Zou. Because of the previous incident with Qin Ruyue, Shen Yuan paid special attention to the Jingguo Mansion. Since Qin Ruyue was sent away, the Jingguo Mansion sent a nanny in the family to the authorities, saying that she had stolen a huge amount of money from the master's family. The nanny was also sentenced to exile.

There was no more movement from the Duke Jing's Mansion after that. Perhaps they were secretly looking for their real biological daughter in other places.

Then think of the appearance of Lady Zou, the mother of Lady Jingguo, and Lady Xuanpinghou going to the temple to pray for amulets for her child...

It's a pity that Shen Yuan didn't know what the wife of Duke Jingguo looked like when she was young, otherwise he could see if they looked alike. However, the wife of Duke Jingguo's current appearance didn't look much like this girl, which made Shen Yuan feel that he might have thought too much.

What she didn't know was that Kui'er did not look like the wife of Duke Jingguo, because Kui'er looked like someone else.
