Chapter 108: That’s it?
When Lin Yingxue, Qi and others returned home, it was already night.
Lin Zhi said that dinner would be sent to his study, and then left in a hurry.
Lin Yingxue frowned slightly.
"Mom, is there something wrong with Dad?"
She always felt something was wrong. At the birthday banquet, she saw her father pulling Xiao Yuan to sit next to him, and Xiao Yuan would lower his head to talk to him from time to time. Seeing their expressions that were sometimes excited and sometimes depressed, it seemed as if they were talking about something extraordinary.
Is there anything else that her daughter shouldn't know?
And there was Xiao Yuan, who clearly met her in the backyard, but didn't let her know at all.
You said you liked her, that's it?
Qi, however, didn't dwell on this. She said calmly, "Your father is an official in the imperial court, and he met many important people today. He must think carefully about this."
Isn't it what men do to control the overall situation?
Instead, it was the eldest princess who attracted her attention.
Today, the eldest princess sent someone to deliver a piece of moonlight brocade. The color of the brocade shone with colorful light under the sunlight, attracting everyone's exclamations and admiration. Even the old lady couldn't help but touch it a few more times with joy.
Moonlight brocade is a fine brocade. It is said to be a tribute from foreign countries. Only ten pieces are produced every year, and it is extremely precious.
However, she always felt that something was wrong here, but she couldn't tell why.
For some reason, Lin Qingjun's words "love will fade away" always lingered in her ears for a long time. She also said that the old lady's oriental pearl that Lin Qingjun mentioned was strange.
Today, she found an excuse to go and see the Dongzhu. Even after a year, the Dongzhu still emitted a soft pearl-like light. Its brilliance could be seen even in the daytime, not to mention at night.
I heard from my servants that the old lady loves these beads very much and hangs them on the head of her bed every day.
She had an idea and asked her if she had asked a doctor to examine the pearl.
The servant girl said that the old lady had someone examine Dongzhu on the first day she arrived, and the person was told that there was no problem at all, so the old lady dared to hang her up.
She felt relieved after hearing this. It wasn't that she didn't trust the princess, but being careful in everything was always right.
When Qi thought of this, she immediately called the manager and asked her if there was any movement in Qijunyuan.
The manager said that there was nothing unusual in Qijunyuan.
Only then did Qi nod in relief. She was afraid that after they left the house, Lin Qingjun would do something secretly again. After all, today was a good opportunity for him to sneak out of the house.
However, Qi had never expected that, precisely because they were away, these servants also wanted to take a rest and were not as attentive as before. Instead, they gave Lin Qingjun the opportunity to leave the house and bring someone in without being known.
Qi thought about it and was about to ask her to call Lin Qingjun over. She wanted to ask her what her words meant that day and to clear up the doubts she had about what she had seen.
Lin Yingxue was the first to make a fuss.
"Mother, please call me tomorrow. We are all tired today."
"I don't want her to come. I want to have another fight with her."
"and."
She didn't want to see her for the time being, because Xiao Yuan even asked her why Lin Qingjun didn't come today, and there was actually concern in his eyes?
Why did Lin Qingjun have to come to her grandparents' house? This wasn't her grandparents' house. Besides, whether she came or not, why was he so anxious? He asked him to marry Lin Qingjun. Could it be that he didn't really care?
What's more, she didn't see the prince today. Oh no, she didn't even see the shadow of the prince.
I'm so angry, how can I have the time to see Lin Qingjun again?
Qi nodded tiredly, "Well, it won't be too late to ask her tomorrow when she comes to pay her respects."
That’s right.
"The Marquis of Wu'an's mansion sent Nanny Li here today. Yingxue, what do you think?"
This is the main topic.
Lin Yingxue snorted coldly, disdain in her eyes.
"The Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion is really going too far. They only arranged for an old maid to come and give gifts to the old lady. Do they think that our Qi Mansion has no one left?"
She had met that old lady before, and she was indeed someone who could be called a confidant.
The last time she came to the Lin Mansion, she actually thought she was pretty good, but today in the Qi Mansion, in front of so many dignitaries and the eldest princess's attendants, she was nothing?
So, you don’t know who is better until you compare them.
When Lin Yingxue thought of this, she became more anxious and felt more ashamed of herself for being willing to marry Ji Chenchuan.
Why would she want to fight for the title of Old Lady? She was already a heroine, and whether she married Ji Chenchuan or the Crown Prince, her status would never change. So, why didn't she marry the Crown Prince, who had a higher status?
With her status as the heroine, it is possible for her to become the queen or the queen mother in the future, so what does this mere old lady count for?
She regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.
"Mother, you must cancel the marriage with the Marquis of Wu'an."
Qi naturally agreed to cancel the engagement, but she was troubled because she had not agreed before. Now that she agreed, this naturally had to be put on the agenda.
She patted the back of Lin Yingxue's hand lovingly and firmly.
"Don't worry, even if it costs my mother her life, I will cancel your engagement. If that doesn't work, I'll go and ask the old lady to use the power of the eldest princess to help you cancel it."
Lin Yingxue was overjoyed and shyly snuggled into Qi's arms, "Mother, you treat your daughter the best."
A hint of pride flashed in Lin Yingxue's eyes.
At this time, at Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
Old Madam Ji also frowned.
Based on her understanding of her grandson, he would definitely not let Nanny Li come to discuss the marriage with her and the Lin family. There must be a reason for this, but she still couldn't figure it out.
At this time, Nanny Li became anxious.
"I also watched over the prince. I have no children or grandchildren, and yet Lin Yingxue of the Qi family treats me like this..."
It would be fine if he just looked down on her as an old servant, but today she was representing the Wu'an Marquis Mansion and the Crown Prince.
They just look down on the prince.
The old lady loves the prince to the core, so doesn't she love him anymore?
The prince has been obedient and sensible since he was young. Every New Year, he receives gifts from the old lady, as well as hers, and they are all made by him, such as a small grasshopper or a small kettle, all small things, but his consideration for her is unmatched.
So, today she mustered up her courage and risked being kicked out of the house to talk to the prince to cancel the marriage with the Lin family.
Others don't feel sorry for her own son, but she does.
The old lady chuckled and said jokingly.
"You, at such an old age, are still like a child."
"Who says this marriage will definitely be successful?"
"I just feel that Chuan'er isn't the type of person who doesn't know the importance of things. I also think that he must understand Lin Yingxue's character, which is why he let Lushui accompany you to the Qi Mansion today."
