What is the trouble at the Yong'an Marquis's residence?
That is, poor relatives come to visit, sisters fight over love, and sisters-in-law battle each other.
The incident began when Zheng Qiu's second aunt, a distant relative, came to stay at her house in preparation for the imperial examination in September.
Aunt Zheng's family was relatively wealthy, but they were distant relatives, so naturally their family wasn't as well-off as Aunt Zheng's. Therefore, Aunt Zheng looked down on them.
But considering he was still a relative of her mother's family, she still arranged for her nephew to stay.
She didn't care much about her nephew, but little did she know that her son was playing with him. Aunt Zheng's son was also a scholar, but not as well-educated as Zheng Qiu's stepmother's son.
It's not that he's incapable, it's just that he's simply not cut out for studying. But he insists on passing the imperial examinations, so when a good-looking cousin came along, he started hanging out with him. Anyway, his older cousin at home doesn't think much of his younger cousins.
After getting closer, they discovered that their cousin was quite knowledgeable, and the two cousins' relationship grew stronger and stronger.
Then, Aunt Zheng's daughter also got to know this cousin.
Every day, the girl listened to her older brother bragging about how amazing her cousin was. After meeting him a few times, she discovered that her cousin was not only academically gifted but also handsome and very gentle, and she secretly fell in love with him.
Girls can't keep their feelings to themselves, so she shared this with her cousin from the fourth branch of the family, with whom she had a good relationship.
Aunt Zheng had one son and two daughters. The younger one was only eight years old and didn't understand these things yet. So, the eldest daughter, who was of marriageable age, didn't tell her younger sister about these things.
The eldest daughter of the second wife looked down on the other concubine daughters of the second wife, so she confided her feelings to her cousin from the fourth wife.
The fourth branch of the Zheng family had the most legitimate daughters. The eldest daughter of the second branch was close to the second son of the fourth branch. Therefore, the second son of the fourth branch also wanted to meet the man that his cousin had been longing for.
And so, the second son of the fourth wife met Aunt Zheng's nephew.
That one meeting sealed the deal.
The second wife of the fourth wife discovered that this young man was the one she often dreamed about.
This is fate bestowed upon us by God!
She didn't tell her cousin's eldest daughter from the second wife, but one quiet night, she secretly went to the place where Aunt Zheng's nephew lived in the outer courtyard and expressed her feelings.
This terrified Aunt Zheng's nephew.
He swore that this was his first time in the capital, and he had never met anyone from the Zheng family before, so it was impossible for him to dream about the Zheng family girl.
But the second son of the fourth wife wouldn't listen. She told Zheng Er's nephew, "It's you, I'm sure it's you in my dream. It's you who married me!"
The second son of the fourth wife was a ruthless man; he immediately took off his clothes and pounced on her.
It was a difficult situation for Aunt Zheng's nephew, a scholar who was so weak he could barely lift a chicken. He was exhausted on his way to the capital and was caught off guard when he was tackled by the second son of the fourth wife.
He was a scholar, so naturally he had to observe proper etiquette and quickly pushed the person away.
The second son of the fourth wife was going all out. She had anticipated this situation and had already sent a maid to inform the siblings of the second wife.
Well, just as Aunt Zheng's nephew had turned over and switched places with the second son of the fourth wife, and was about to get up, a large group of women came to the door.
Among them were the wives of the second, third, and fourth wives, as well as the older daughters of the Zheng family, and the maids of the three wives and these daughters.
There wasn't even enough room to stand at the entrance; it was completely blocked.
Aunt Zheng's nephew was so frightened that he fainted.
