Fang also smiled and said, "Although our family is not a wealthy family, we are also well-known in the local area. We are asking for Qingran's hand in marriage at this time because of our relationship with our two families..."
Lian Jinyu smiled: "What you said makes sense, but Qingran is not in a hurry now. Besides, I have to ask her what she thinks."
"What are you waiting for such a good thing? If I could make the decision, I would do it for you." said the old lady.
"Our Zhihua agreed to marry Qingran, what a great thing." Fang smiled.
Lian Jinyu felt uncomfortable listening to her words. She couldn't help but sneer and said, "Even if Qingran is really disfigured, she won't marry him..."
Fang's eyes widened: "Marry down?"
Lian Jinyu smiled and said, "That's it. I don't want to decide on Qingran's marriage right now. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first..."
After she finished speaking, she left in the stunned eyes of everyone.
Fang took a long time to catch her breath. She looked at the old lady and said, "Aunt, how can marrying into the Shen family be considered marrying down? Her daughter is already like that, and we don't dislike her, but she said she was marrying down. Aunt, tell me, is there such a thing in the world?"
The old lady's face was not looking good either. She had just made it clear that she was on Fang's side, but Jin Yu didn't even give her face. After a long while, she said quietly, "If she doesn't want to marry, then forget it. We have done our best..."
Fang was still unbalanced. When she returned to the courtyard, Shen Zhihua was waiting for news. Fang said angrily, "Even if she is disfigured, it seems that we are not worthy of her. She said that she will not marry down from her parents' family!"
When Shen Zhihua heard this, a sneer appeared on that evil beauty's face: "Is that really the case? Then we really shouldn't try to get ahead of ourselves."
He said that he didn't want to marry someone above his station, but he was actually acting like a shrew in his heart. He secretly hated An Qingran for looking down on others, which made him feel even more itchy.
Lian Jinyu returned to the East Warm Pavilion with a face full of anger, and kept saying in the room: "I am so mad..."
Before she finished her words, she saw An Qingran holding An Mingchen, and it was too late for her to take him back.
"What's wrong?" An Qingran saw that her face had changed color due to anger, and hurried forward to ask.
Little Mingchen also reached out and pulled Lian Jinyu's clothes, asking her to hug him.
Lian Jinyu took the child's mouth and said, "Tell me, is your grandmother confused too? Just now, your cousin's mother proposed to her son, wanting to marry you, and also said that you should be the principal wife. At this time, she asked our family to marry her. It means that she is pitiful and the general's mansion should be grateful. I said, we will not marry you no matter what."
An Qingran laughed when she heard it: "Well said."
Madam Hong also chimed in, "Even if the eldest lady is really disfigured, it's not the Shen family's turn to pretend to be good people, really."
Lian Jinyu was so angry that her face turned pale. Her daughter, who was like a treasure to her, had her face ruined, and she would not allow others to watch the humiliation.
An Qingran reached out and rubbed her mother's back: "There's no need to be angry with them, they are all mean people."
"How can I not be angry? You eat our food, drink our drinks, and yet you still want to take advantage of us. We have treasures at home, how can we get any bargains?"
"Yes, they are all treasures." An Qingran smiled when she said this, and even Jinyu smiled, "I have never been so angry before."
An Qingran leaned on Lian Jinyu's shoulder: "Mom, it feels so good to have your protection."
Lian Jinyu patted her hands and said, "Don't worry, mother is here. I won't let anyone bully you, unless they want to kill me."
An Qingran's eyes were filled with tears. God was so kind to her that he allowed her to live her life again. This really gave her the opportunity to resolve her misunderstanding of her mother and enjoy life with her mother.
She stood up and secretly wiped her eyes.
"Qingran, you don't have to worry. Mother asked your cousin to find a way to heal your face. But Qingran, you have to think about it. Even if there is a little scar on your face, you don't have to be sad. If a person really cares about you, he will not change because of a person's appearance. Do you understand?"
"I understand..." An Qingran blurted out some words, but seeing that Madam Hong and a few other maids were here, she stopped talking. Her hand unconsciously stroked her cheek, which was still burning and painful. The medicine prescribed by the imperial physician was indeed effective, but she did not take it. She needed the current effect on her face, which would be much more convenient.
Birch.
It is a place with mountains, water and fields. It is also the location of the ancestral tomb of the general's mansion. The emperor gave a total of 200 acres of land here, which is usually rented out. Next to the ancestral tomb is a small courtyard with four rooms and a wing room.
Behind the house is the ancestral tomb, which is built in a very grand manner.
A gravel road leads to
Every year when the general offered sacrifices to his ancestors, a lot of people would suddenly come, with a constant stream of carriages and horses, making it quite a spectacular sight. But now, it is deserted. Except when people are working, no outsiders come here, except for the two families guarding the tombs.
He is a servant born in the general's mansion.
On this day, several horse-drawn carriages approached from afar. Azhi, who was guarding the tomb, saw them and immediately came out to greet them vigilantly, because according to the calculation, it was the 37th day after the death of the concubine. When they came out, they saw that it was Fuquan with the second young lady and the eldest young master. An Yanran got off the carriage and ran straight to the cemetery, carrying a basket of gold ingots and candles in her hands, and the people following her carried a few boxes. Before they reached the place, An Yanran started crying. She fell down in front of the grave, and the maids came forward to help her, but she just wailed and no one could persuade her.
When An Mingxuan saw his sister crying, he also started crying. Everyone felt a little sad and wiped their tears. An Yanran asked them to leave. She and her brother stayed there, burning paper and crying. She cried and said, "Mother, if you are still alive over there, please take An Qingran away. As long as she stays in the general's mansion, our lives will not be easy. And her mother, and An Mingchen, too. In short, take them all away..."
Because it was crying, her scolding voice was sobbing, and no one listened carefully. An Yanran cried and cursed at the same time, but she felt much better after crying.
She got up and went to the yard downstairs, washed, packed up, and settled down.
There was a lot of wind in the woods, and she sobbed like a person. She sat alone in the house and thought of her mother and became sad again. In the past, there were people who stood up for her, but without her mother, even her own survival became a problem. She was born out of wedlock, and even if she married Prince Kang, he still had An Ranyue, and would have a principal wife in the future. She didn't know what her situation would be like.
In short, the current situation and prospects were not optimistic. She was so sad that she started crying again.
Suddenly she heard a light noise from the window and she stopped: "Is that mother?"
The voice was low, and there was joy in the tone.
When he opened it, he saw the handsome face of King Kang.
