He was surrounded by several wives and girls from the Qi family.

As soon as Yuanyuan came in, she looked for the "pretty sister". Her aunt said she would be there.

That day, when she woke up, her beautiful sister had left. She still had a lot to tell her sister about Tuantuan!

"Cousin!" A soft and beautiful voice came from the side.

When Mrs. Qi heard this, her heart sank, but she pretended not to know and continued walking forward at a leisurely pace.

As a result, a woman blocked his way. "Cousin~~ I've been calling you for a long time! Why are you ignoring me?"

The person who came was Du Liu.

Madam Qi looked at her calmly...

The bitch in front of me was radiant and smiling... She could even smile? Moreover, she looked at me with a look of resentment? Was she really not afraid that I would slap her in public? When I was young, I had beaten people before! !

Madam Qi's eyes were fierce and her heart was beating wildly with anger. She knew what kind of person she was without looking in the mirror.

Du Liu's expression, as if nothing had happened, reminded her of the wife of Marquis Zhenyuan... Her mother-in-law always had a smiling face like this on weekdays.

She was obviously embarrassed, obviously angry, and obviously hateful, but she could still laugh!

Is it popular to be thick-skinned and shameless these days?

Du Liu immediately grabbed her empty arm and pleaded in a low voice: "Cousin, this is all my fault. Please, let me talk to you, let me apologize to you..."

Madam Qi struggled, but couldn't get free...

Yuanyuan didn't recognize this person, so she poked her little head out and looked at her curiously.

"Sister, just a few words, please...really, okay? I will accept it even if you scold me or beat me!"

Mrs. Qi's face turned red with anger, and she looked at her silently.

"We have been sisters for our whole lives, don't you know me yet? Such a big thing happened for no reason, you should at least allow me to explain a few words, right?" Du Liu had a smile on his face, but there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

Although Mrs. Qi has a bad temper, is straightforward, and speaks harshly, she is actually not a cruel person.

Seeing Du Liu begging so humbly, he said coldly: "I have something else to do, just tell me what you want to say."

"Good sister~~Come on! Just over here, a few words, it will be done in a moment!"

After saying that, he grabbed Mrs. Qi's arm and pulled her to the side.

Mrs. Qi was still holding Yuanyuan in her hand and didn't want her to hear this.

She handed Yuanyuan's little hand to the nanny she trusted the most and said, "Take good care of Yuanyuan. I'll be there soon."

The nanny held her tightly: "Don't worry!"

Madam Qi then said to the other ladies, "You go sit down first. I'll be there in a minute. Please keep an eye on Yuanyuan for me. Don't let her run around or eat anything else."

Everyone agreed.

The two of them entered a small side courtyard. It seemed that Du Liu had made preparations in advance. The place was simple and elegant, and there was tea.

Madam Qi stood there: "If you have anything to say, just say it! I can't stay here."

"Sister!" Du Liu pushed Madam Qi down on the chair and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, sister! This matter is all my fault, no matter what! Really! I'll take it no matter you hit me or scold me!"

"Oh!" Madam Qi sneered, "...What's wrong with climbing up the ladder? People always want to move up! Why are you looking for me?"

"Sister!" Du Liu sat down next to Madam Qi with a dejected look on his face.

Mrs. Qi looked at this distant cousin, whose eyebrows were like spring mountains, eyes like autumn pools, and she looked so young and pretty.

"Sister, you also know... When the Du family married me into the Qin family, they had already tried their best. The Qin family... Alas, after my grandfather passed away, there was no one among the younger generations who could succeed him. The glory is over! It's only a matter of time before they fall. My parents-in-law are arrogant, but they are also arrogant... Your brother-in-law and I are both capable... Sister also knows this."

Seeing her humble attitude, Mrs. Qi felt a little relieved.

"Wulang, leave him to me. Over the years, I have taken better care of him than my own son. Do you recognize him, sister?" Du Liu looked at Mrs. Qi excitedly and sincerely.

This is not false!

Otherwise, would she agree to this marriage?

I couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"Wulang, that's really the good son-in-law I have been looking forward to for many years. I'm so happy that you are coming back to arrange a marriage for them! The long-cherished wish can finally come true..." Du Liu's tears flowed out and he took out a handkerchief to wipe them.

"But I never thought! When Jiang's second son was studying at the Qin's house, he only saw Lianyue from a distance once! After returning to the capital, no one paid attention to him. There are so many people studying at the Qin's house, who would remember him! As a result, just a few days ago, the Jiang family actually sent someone to propose marriage... When my father-in-law and mother-in-law heard about the Duke's Mansion, they were so excited! How could I say anything else?!"

The Jiang family has the Duke's Mansion! It's also the family home of the late Empress Dowager! The Emperor values ​​it very much.

Although the Qi family is good, it is still far behind the Jiang family.

"How could Lianyue be willing? She cried for several times and even fell seriously ill. For the sake of the Qin family's reputation and Wulang, she dared not let anyone know. Looking at her weak breath... Sister, my heart aches and I feel so bitter!" Du Liu beat his chest with a handkerchief, tears streaming down his face.

Madam Qi was stunned for a long while before she sighed and said, "Even if you have a thousand reasons, you still deceived Xiaowu and ruined my plan! If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't blame you so much."

"If you had said so earlier... How would I have known that Master Jiang would fall in love with Lianlian and come from so far away to propose marriage?!" This was not a lie. What kind of noble ladies are not there in the capital? !

Both of them were stunned for a moment.

Madam Qi said, "Whatever you say, the Qin family is not doing things right! How did we decide? How could your mother-in-law not know? Isn't it time for her to ask about Xiaowu's well-being?"

"Oh, my mother-in-law..." Du Liu said vaguely.

"Not to mention Xiaowu and Lianyue. Don't you know how they get along? If the Jiang family knew, would they come to propose marriage? If this matter is exposed in the future, even if Lianyue marries, how can she live happily ever after?"

Du Liu's body tensed up, and he was frightened and scared. He couldn't hide it, so he could only cover his face with a handkerchief...

After a long while, she finally sighed and said, "Alas, it was such a coincidence that it happened in just a few days! If you had come back a few days earlier, we would have finished our business! Even if my mother-in-law is tyrannical, she can't cancel the engagement!"

Things have come to this...Mrs. Qi also has something to say.

"Alright, there's no point in saying this. Since the matter has been settled...just prepare Qin Lianyue's marriage! I have to go..."

Mrs. Qi wanted to stand up.

"Sister...Do you still want to arrange Wulang's marriage here?"

Of course, she knew something about the Qi family! This cousin, in a hurry, might have arranged it for Wu Lang right here.

"Wulang is back, and he has a lot to do. I haven't had time to talk to him yet, let me see!" How could Madam Qi tell her the truth? "Cousin, um... mother-in-law said the other day..." Du Liu muttered.

"What?" Mrs. Qi wondered.

"My mother-in-law said...said that my eldest brother's second daughter Xiyue...is also a very good girl. If I don't mind..." She hummed like a mosquito.

"What did you say?!"

Madam Qi stood up in a hurry! "Du Liu, you are so... I never thought that the great Confucian family of Qin would produce such shameless descendants like you! Isn't it going to be ruined? It's Xiaowu's blessing that he didn't marry you! Du Liu, Du Liu, you are so depraved!"

Mrs. Qi flicked her sleeves and left.

She suddenly became angry, which scared Du Liuer and made him speechless.

She watched Madam Qi leave in a daze, and couldn't help but feel regretful: I told her not to ask! ! My mother-in-law insisted! Now, I'm even more offended, right? ! She sat there regretting for a long time, and then thought again: Anyway, my Lian'er has already been engaged to the Duke's Mansion. She will be the Duke's wife in the future! Humph, Cui Fengying, even though you are angry now, you will turn around and stick to me in the future!

Lianyue married such a good man, she can help me a lot! From now on, I don't have much to count on you! If you don't want to move around, then don't move around!! Humph...

But suddenly I thought, oh my... this cousin has a very arrogant temper. If I piss her off, she'll really bring up all those things from the past...

That would be bad news! Don't leave any evidence behind! She thought carefully: I remember Lian'er did some work for her cousin and Wu Lang, but they are all relatives, so it's normal for them to have some interactions.

broken……

She just remembered something...

He quickly stood up and went to look for his daughter.

I'm joining V today, thank you all for your support.
