Chapter 89 It’s ok, I’ll do it myself
When Shen Qi saw Xu You, who had been engaged to her but broke off the engagement and married someone else, walking in with her cousin Zhao, her face changed.
At this time, all the aunts and uncles of the Xie family were busy talking.
"Doctor Xu, I heard that you're from Baihe Town, and so is this grandmother's family. I wonder if your two families know each other? Tell us in detail. Are you related?"
"I heard that our niece-in-law was engaged before she married Erlang. Her fiancé is also a doctor, in the same profession as Doctor Xu!"
"Oh my, look, my niece-in-law has been married for two years and hasn't given birth to a boy or a girl. I'm not saying anything, but if she's sick, she should see a doctor as soon as possible."
"That's right, I heard that my eldest nephew's wife is in poor health and has difficulty having children. This second nephew's wife must be unable to have children!"
There were four or five elderly aunts and sisters-in-law around, chatting with each other.
There were also several young brothers and sisters-in-law who had children and joined in the discussion.
"If you ask me, besides seeing a doctor, you also need to have your fortune told! If your fates clash, no matter how much medicine you take or how much you see, you won't be able to have children."
"If you really can't have children, it would be a great help to get Erlang a few concubines as soon as possible to continue the family line."
"Isn't it? Tell me, with such a huge fortune as the Xie family, how can there be no children to inherit it?"
"That's right, we are doing this for your own good!"
You talk and I talk, and I almost believe it myself.
Only Chen Qi sat alone in the main seat in the lobby, his face pale, stroking his teacup without saying a word.
She understood and pondered in her mind.
What do these gossips mean?
In such a grand occasion as her grandmother's birthday party, she specially invited Xu You, to whom she had been engaged, in order to embarrass her?
Since she knew Xu You, she must also know that there was a rumor about her being a "husband-killer". Did she want everyone in the Xie family to know that she, the mistress of the family, had a bad fate?
He also kept emphasizing in public that they had no children after marriage. Was he trying to use "no children" as an excuse to force her to take a concubine to Xie Yuduo?
Or, he simply divorced himself on the grounds of being childless, allowing the second master of the Xie family to marry a new wife, have a bunch of children, and inherit his family's wealth?
Looking at how eager Aunt Zhao is, I'm afraid she has even prepared someone to divorce and marry.
This is a trap, and you are the trapped beast.
Shen Qi felt sick.
In today's matter, Aunt Zhao is the undisputed leader.
She was usually considered a half-matchmaker, often acting as a matchmaker for others. She had always had some dealings with matchmakers inside and outside Pingshan County. Moreover, her own daughter was not married yet, so she was anxious and ran around the city.
One day, she was walking on the main road and met Liu the matchmaker from Baihe Town.
When the two men found out they were traveling together, they both stopped and stood on the side of the road, chatting for a long time, talking about this and that.
As she spoke, Aunt Zhao began to show off her family's relationship with the Xie family of Silver Lion Street.
"My cousin is the second wife of her family who gave birth to the eldest grandson! Even the second master of the family has to call me aunt when he sees me."
Unexpectedly, matchmaker Liu slapped her thigh.
"Is the second wife of the Xie family's eldest wife the daughter of the Shen family in Baihe Town?"
Aunt Zhao was startled and asked her, "Do you know her?"
Matchmaker Liu chuckled.
"Not only do we know each other, she even has to call me sister-in-law. Even the marriage that was canceled was arranged by me!"
The two chatted for half a day, and Liu the matchmaker told the whole story of how Chen Qi pushed for marriage, adding fuel to the fire, and pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, telling the whole story.
This past year's disputes reignited Aunt Zhao's desire to get involved with the Xie family.
Since she was a child, she had often been verbally oppressed by her cousin Sister Xie, who married into a wealthy family and is now her second aunt Feng.
"Our Xie family is a wealthy family in the county. If you are unlucky, how can you marry into our family?"
Later, Aunt Zhao got married and had a daughter. As expected, her own daughter was unable to marry the two young masters of the Xie family.
Originally, seeing that Xie Yuduo got married and ignored her family, she and the third lady's thoughts on him faded a little.
Unexpectedly, the second wife of the Xie family not only had no pregnancy after two years of marriage, but also had all these messy past events.
Born in a small place, engaged, childless, and unlucky in marriage.
Any one of them is enough to make the Xie family disgusted.
If he could knock her down with one punch, his own daughter would have the advantage of being a close relative, and if he asked his cousin to add some fuel to the fire, she might be able to sit on the golden chair of the second wife of the Xie family.
Even if that doesn't work, my daughter can take a step back and become a concubine in the room. If she gives birth to a son or a daughter in the future, the wealth of the Xie family in the city may not be able to be poured into my family's pot.
However, to be on the safe side, she still inquired about the situation with her cousin Feng in advance.
Unexpectedly, the second aunt, who always disliked everyone, almost laughed out loud after hearing what her cousin was thinking.
"Oh my God, you're still thinking of letting the third sister marry our second son! Outsiders like you don't know the methods his wife uses to win over her own men! Let me tell you this, it would be easier for you to let the third sister marry his father as a stepmother than to let him marry her as a wife or concubine!"
These words were unpleasant to hear. Aunt Zhao blushed and cursed her behind her back.
She was angry with Feng and refused to discuss things with her anymore. She went from street to street, gossiping about Chen Qi to distant relatives like the Xie family.
Now, it was the good plan she had been planning for a long time.
When Chen Qi saw that the doctor invited by Aunt Zhao was Xu You, he immediately realized that this was a trap set specifically for him.
But she didn't intend to die in this trap.
She held the maid's hand and slowly stood up.
"I have something else to do in the front yard, so I really can't be free today. Ladies and aunts, please enjoy your tea. I'll be leaving first."
Seeing her get up and leave, Aunt Zhao became anxious.
At today's birthday banquet, the number of people she instigated was large and powerful, just enough to gather together to gossip about her. She also successfully invited the doctor from the Xu family who she had secretly inquired about, to embarrass her. This was a rare opportunity given by God.
If you miss this opportunity, you won’t be able to take advantage of her again.
For this reason, Aunt Zhao took two steps forward, grabbed Chen Qi's sleeve and pressed her onto the chair.
Chen Qi was already weak and frail, so he could not withstand her vigorous pressure and immediately fell down.
"My dear niece, the doctor is here, why don't you let him take a look? What's the meaning of this? To put it mildly, are you afraid that everyone will know about some illness? To put it bluntly, it's like you've seen a ghost in broad daylight, you're so guilty!"
Seeing her mistress being pushed down on the chair, the maid beside her suddenly panicked.
The maids here were all new, and seeing the situation, they wanted to step forward and pull the woman away, but after hearing what she said, they were afraid that she was an elder relative of the Xie family and they were afraid that they could not afford to offend her.
Several people were at a loss for what to do.
When Chen Qi saw this, she felt secretly resentful. If Xiao Ling were here, she would have stood up for her long ago.
No problem.
She decided to come on her own.
“Bang!”
Chen Qi slapped the evil-hearted woman in the face with her backhand.
