Chapter 120 It's Your Own Fault

A few days later, Xiao Tao went to the tailor shop to pick up the clothes that Ming Lan had ordered, and brought back a piece of news: He Qingmei was engaged!

"Engaged? To which family?" Ming Lan was surprised. It was obvious that He Qingmei was deeply in love with Qi Heng, so how could she get engaged in such a short time?

"It was said that she was engaged to Miss He's cousin. There's a story behind this!"

Xiao Tao was mysterious, which aroused the curiosity of Ming Xi and Ming Lan. "What story?"

"The He family had a pond. That day, Miss He was feeding fish by the pond. Suddenly, a maid went crazy and pushed Miss He into the pond. She also took a bamboo pole and beat Miss He desperately, intending to kill her. When the other members of the He family reacted, Miss He was already in the pond with blood all over her face and her body had sunk. It was also a coincidence that Miss He's uncle's cousin went to visit his aunt that day. When he saw his cousin in danger, he jumped in and pulled her out. Fortunately, she was rescued in time and Miss He saved her life. But it was also because the maid panicked and her aim was not good enough that Miss He was killed. The girl just got hit on the head, and the doctor told her to rest for a while and she would be fine. But Miss He's body was seen by her cousin, and it was something the He family knew about, so they didn't make it public. In fact, Miss He didn't have to marry her cousin, but the news got out, and it got worse and worse. The He family had no choice but to discuss the marriage with Mrs. He's brothers from her natal family. "

Xiao Tao was a little dry in the mouth, so she stopped and looked around for water. Minglan understood her intention immediately, and quickly brought her a teacup, and handed it to her attentively, hoping that she would moisten her throat quickly and speak quickly. Xiao Tao took a big sip of tea before continuing.

"This should be a good thing that everyone is happy about. The two families are of similar background, and it would be a good fate to arrange a marriage. But two people are unwilling. Miss He is unwilling. I think my wife and I know that it is because she likes the young master. But her cousin Mr. Yu is also unwilling. He went to the He family that day to ask his aunt, Mrs. He, to propose marriage on his behalf. Before they had finished the greetings, this matter came up. It was inappropriate to ask for a marriage, so Mr. Lu did not mention it. Who would have thought that what happened later would happen."

"Then how should this matter be resolved?"

"It was not resolved very well. Once the matter of the He family spread out, the girl from the Lu family who was going to propose marriage gave up the idea, and the family immediately did not want to mention the marriage between the two families anymore. So, in the end, Miss He and Mr. Lu got married. But I'm afraid no one is happy about this marriage!"

"Can the He family find out why the maid went crazy?" Mingxi asked.

"I don't know whether the He family has found out or not, but the rumor is that it's because Miss He is mean to others and can't find her ideal husband, so she can't stand seeing other people being in love. The maid had a childhood sweetheart in the mansion, and they were attracted to each other, and the two families wanted to get married, but another steward in the He family also took a fancy to the maid and wanted to marry her. The maid's family refused, saying that their daughter was already engaged. But the steward didn't give up, so he went to Madam He for help. Miss He happened to be with her mother, and after hearing what she said, she said: The housekeeper's request was granted immediately, and the maid was matched with the housekeeper. Later, the maid went to Miss He to express her feelings, saying that she already had a lover and asked her to help. Miss He not only refused to help, but also rematched the maid's lover. The two people's indentures were in the He family. Although they were reluctant, they dared not disobey and gritted their teeth to get married. Originally, it was Miss He who played the matchmaker and made the mistake. But after listening to what happened later, I think Miss He was to blame!

"What did she do again?" Minglan asked puzzledly, unable to think of what else Miss He could do.

Xiaotao showed an expression that was hard to describe. "I wonder if Miss He has nothing to do all day, so she's inquiring about the lives of the two families she's involved with. What can she do? They're both reluctant, so the relationship between the couples is very cold. At this point, you'd think Miss He would feel guilty. But you're wrong!" Xiao Tao had a rich expression, and she looked like she was itching with hatred.

"This Miss He called the steward and said: I heard that your wife is still thinking about her childhood sweetheart, so she doesn't want to be with you. She also said that the steward is incompetent and has not been able to win the wife's favor for so long. The steward went back in anger. After returning, he saw that his wife was cold to him, so he was so angry that he beat her. The beating was so severe that the maid had a miscarriage!"

Mingxi and Minglan both gasped, "The maid is pregnant? Lengdan is probably pregnant and feeling unwell, right?"

Xiaotao nodded and continued, "That should be it! The steward kicked the maid too hard and kicked her several times. When he found that his wife was bleeding from the lower body, he asked the doctor to see her. The doctor said that the child could not be saved and that the injury was too severe and she would not be able to have children in the future."

"He Qingmei and the housekeeper are really evil!" Mingxi said angrily.

"This is not over yet! Miss He knew that the maid was beaten, and she just snorted coldly and said that she was useless. Then she took advantage of the fact that the maid had a miscarriage and was in confinement to find a concubine for the housekeeper!"

"This He Qingmei is really a bad person!" Minglan almost dropped her jaw in shock.

"After these heavy blows, the maid collapsed, and that's why she committed the crime. The maid is really pitiful, meeting such a master. So the servants in the He Mansion are afraid of Miss He. Miss He looks weak, but she is so cruel."

"She really deserves what happened to her!" Minglan concluded.

Mingxi frowned and found that things were not simple. "If He Qingmei has always been like this, then she must have done more than one ridiculous thing in the He family. Why didn't the previous things get out? It must be that the He family is very strict, so no news can be leaked. But the story of Miss He being pushed into the pond by the maid and being rescued by Mr. Lu, and then the grudge between the maid and He Qingmei, all spread too quickly."

Mingxi glanced at Minglan, "There must be someone behind this. The maid's story may be true, but there must be someone who wants to punish He Qingmei, so things fermented so quickly."

"Is it the Lord of Jiacheng County?" Minglan asked uncertainly.

Mingxi didn't answer, but he probably wouldn't be the second choice!

"Neither He Qingmei nor Mr. Lu was happy about their marriage. Even if they were married, they would still be a couple with grievances. One can imagine what life He Qingmei will have in the future. But this is not the most important thing. What if the other party wanted to kill He Qingmei? After all, the maid was ruthless. It was because of Mr. Lu's appearance that the plan went wrong, but the situation was not bad, so the other party used public opinion to defeat He Qingmei."
