"What about those rumors?" the butler asked again.
"I'll handle it, you don't have to worry about it." Mr. Bai said in a deep voice.
The housekeeper agreed, and Master Bai warned him again: "The mistress is pregnant now, and Heng'er is in trouble again. Try not to let her know about this."
"Yes, sir." The butler took the order and quickly left the shop and went home.
Bai's family, in Bai Xinrui's yard.
At this time, Bai Xinrui also heard the news. She was so angry that she threw everything on the ground: "What is going on, Lianxin, didn't you promise me that you would take care of it?"
"Miss, I swear to heaven, I really didn't say that."
"I don't know why things turned out like this, young lady, you must trust me."
"By the way, young lady, I discovered earlier that I was being followed. The person following me was Bai Song."
"I remember that Bai Song seems to be the mistress's man. Tell me, could it be that the mistress is secretly plotting this?"
Bai Xinrui's face turned dark and ugly, but she believed Lian Xin's words.
In this family, only her mother dislikes her, so this must have been done by her mother.
But what good will this do for her? It concerns the reputation of the Bai family. If her reputation is ruined, her younger sister's reputation will also be affected by her in the future.
Bai Xinrui really didn't understand.
Lian Xin smiled: "Miss, in my opinion, this is not a bad thing."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Bai Xinrui looked at Lianxin.
Lian Xin smiled mysteriously: "In fact, by doing this, the mistress has paved the way for you."
"That Mr. Qiu is now in a state of turmoil. If he refuses to marry you, people will gossip about him, and his future performance evaluations will be affected."
"So, in the end he had no choice but to compromise and marry you." Lianxin said proudly.
Bai Xinrui figured it out and laughed, "In this way, my mother is actually shooting herself in the foot and helping me."
Lianxin nodded repeatedly, with crazy joy in her eyes, "Laugh, idiot."
It's obvious that Mr. Qiu was not born into an ordinary farming and reading family, but this idiot thought his family was poor.
Although the young man's clothes seemed simple, someone without good taste would think that he was wearing ordinary cloth.
In fact, what they wear is inconspicuous high-quality fabric.
Now that such rumors have spread, that young master will definitely be angry, and the Bai family will definitely suffer.
Just thinking about it made Lianxin excited, and she was really trembling with excitement.
Soon the mistress also found out and was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
As soon as the housekeeper came back, he knew something bad had happened and hurried to visit the mistress with the doctor.
When he arrived, the mistress had calmed down and was sitting quietly eating bird's nest. When she saw him come in, she smiled and said, "I'm fine, but since the doctor is here, I'd better take my pulse."
The doctor hurried forward and after taking the Bai family mistress's pulse, he said that the pregnancy was very stable and there was no need to worry.
The housekeeper gave the doctor some money, thanked him, and then asked someone to send the doctor out.
He then reported the reason to the mistress, and Meng Xueyan waved her hand, indicating that it was not his fault.
Let the housekeeper relax and just take care of the household chores.
The butler was relieved and left after thanking him.
…
Qiu Hanyan's temporary residence is quite lively today.
Several students made an appointment to come and see Qiu Hanyan. Qiu Hanyan was a cold person, so when he saw these familiar-looking students coming to his house, he did not chase them away.
Let Niu Shanda go buy some groceries and come back to entertain them.
After they sat down, they all looked at him and smiled mysteriously.
Qiu Hanyan frowned slightly and asked directly: "Why are you staring at me and smiling like that?"
"It seems that Brother Han Yan really doesn't know the rumors outside." One of the students said with a smile.
Qiu Hanyan looked at him, and the man continued: "This is what happened..."
After hearing what this person said, Qiu Hanyan's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death.
He did not go out today, and neither did Baoshun and the other two. They did not expect that there would be such rumors outside.
"Brother Han Yan, are you really unaware of this situation?" The other students were also dumbfounded, and Bao Shun quickly responded.
"My young master hasn't gone out all day today, and it's quiet here, so the rumor is true."
Several students looked around the yard and found it was indeed quiet and very suitable for studying.
No wonder he didn't hear anything. Among these people, a student looked at Qiu Hanyan with envy: "Brother Hanyan, don't be so angry. This is not a bad thing."
"The Bai family is a well-known family in Huaiqin Prefecture. It would be a good thing for you to marry a girl from the Bai family."
"I beg to differ with this statement. Brother Huaijin, what do you think of Brother Hanyan's knowledge?"
"That's good." Wang Huaijin, the student who spoke earlier, quickly gave a thumbs up.
Zhang Shuheng nodded, then continued, "Since you also admit that Brother Han Yan is knowledgeable, then Brother Han Yan must have a share in the honor of being a juren this time."
"Brother Han Yan is going to be an official in the future. It's not appropriate for him to marry a merchant's daughter. Besides, I heard that the girl from the Bai family isn't very smart and her brain isn't very good."
"How can such a person be worthy of Brother Han Yan? Isn't that just pushing him into the fire pit?"
Wang Huaijin quickly explained: "Brother Han Yan, I absolutely do not mean to belittle you."
"That's enough. Let's not talk about this anymore. If you continue, I'm sorry I can't entertain you anymore." Qiu Hanyan frowned and said.
The others quickly shut up and changed the subject.
The atmosphere gradually became harmonious. After the meal, Qiu Hanyan personally went out to see them off.
He caught a glimpse of a mule cart parked in the corner, but glanced at it and ignored it.
After seeing off a few students, I was about to turn back when the people on the mule cart started moving.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Qiu." The Great Chu also called scholars "Mr. Qiu", which was considered a respectful title.
Qiu Hanyan turned around and looked at the person who came. It was Mr. Bai.
"Is there something?" Qiu Hanyan said coldly.
Mr. Bai was a little embarrassed, but he still said, "Mr. Qiu, I am Bai Qianliang of the Bai family, and I am Bai Xinrui's father."
Qiu Hanyan looked at him quietly, and Mr. Bai looked a little embarrassed.
Although he was born into a merchant family, he was also a man of some influence in Huaiqin Mansion.
Now, facing this aloof young man, she was directly suppressed in terms of momentum. What made her even more angry was that the other person didn't say anything.
He just looked at himself quietly and didn't know how to start.
"I'm sure Mr. Qiu has heard about the rumors going around in the city today."
"I came here today to ask Mr. Qiu what you think about this. Although my daughter is obsessed with me, she is pretty. Even if I don't have a lot of money, I don't have to worry about food and clothing."
"Would Mr. Qiu be willing to be my son-in-law?"
Qiu Hanyan suddenly laughed out loud. Master Bai was puzzled and looked at him: "Mr. Qiu, do you have anything to say?"
"As your son-in-law of the Bai family, do you still feel that I'm taking advantage?" Qiu Hanyan spoke.
Mr. Bai looked a little embarrassed. He had indeed had such a thought.
