Just as I was thinking about it, Wen Yu came out with her hands behind her back.
In the pavilion, there were some girls from the guest families. Everyone went out early in the morning.
Some came to the mountain, some went to the lake, and some were wandering around the town or near the main courtyard of the Qi family, all wanting to have an "accidental encounter" with the fifth young master of the Qi family.
As a result, these people climbed up sweating, but they didn't see any handsome men, but there was a beautiful woman here, and then another one came out of the woods...
"Hey, is this Miss Wen? What are you doing in the woods?" The words came out unpleasantly.
Wen Yu didn't answer, but took out the flowers from her back and handed them to Yan Zhu.
Yan Zhu smiled and said, "Ah! So beautiful! Does it smell good?"
The two girls came closer and put their noses on the flowers to smell them. The color was more beautiful than the flowers themselves.
It made the girls at the scene feel ashamed.
…
With his life events already decided, Qi Wu no longer had the heart to hunt.
He no longer had to think about it, and he felt at ease.
However, he didn't want to think about it anymore, but he couldn't stop others from thinking about it. Along the way, I don't know how many girls greeted him. Among them, Wen Wan...
He looked straight ahead and said nothing.
They were almost at the gate, "Master Qi Wu!" an excited voice called out.
Qi Wumu's face sullen, he walked straight forward, "Young Master..." Seeing that he didn't answer or stop, the person actually followed him from behind. But how could she catch up with him with her small steps?
I saw him striding into the courtyard.
The girl stayed there sadly...
In the corner next to her, a short and fat girl saw all this and pointed at Xiaoxiao, saying, "The third girl is shameless! " This was Xiaoji scolding Wen Jiao.
…
Wen Jiao was sad and went back to find her mother.
Wu had just finished her stroll in the town and bought a few jars of wine. When she saw her come in, she smiled and said, "Jiao'er is back! Look, your father likes this wine, mother will bring him a few jars back."
"Mom..." Wen Jiao sat down dejectedly.
"Jiao'er, what's wrong?"
Looking at his daughter's expression, it seemed that she wanted to say something to him, so he winked and asked the maids to go out.
Wen Jiao was straightforward and didn't shy away from asking, "Mother, if I want to marry Master Qi Wu, how can I do that?"
Wu was stunned and put down the small wine jar in her hand. She sat up straight, thought for a while, and shook her head: "Jiao'er, Master Qi Wu, of course mother knows what you are thinking. All the girls present at that time would have the same thoughts."
"Mom!" Wen Jiao didn't like to hear it.
"It's just that the Qi and Wen families have very different family backgrounds."
"But mother, except for the Wu Wang Mansion, other families in this area who marry into the Qi family are marrying up. Since Madam Qi wants to find a wife for the fifth son of the Qi family in her hometown, it means that she recognizes the gap in family background. If that's the case, why doesn't my daughter have a chance?!"
"That's a huge difference. To be honest, Wen Yudu..." Mrs. Wu just said it subconsciously.
"Mom! No one else has said anything yet, why are you slipping away?! What's the difference between Wen Yu and an orphan? Why are you comparing her with your daughter?" Wen Jiao interrupted.
"Jiao'er..."
"Don't say anything! Please ask grandmother for your daughter about this matter. Madam Qi is so polite to grandmother, so there may be a way. If it really works, what will you and my father have to worry about? In the future, we don't have to worry about the mood of uncle and his step-wife when we live!"
This touched Wu.
"Okay, I'll go ask your grandmother."
…
After Qi Wu returned, he didn't say much to his mother, but just nodded.
Madam Qi clapped her hands in joy.
Qi Si also took a fancy to Zhang Weiqing from the Zhang family, and everything went smoothly! "Good son, mother will settle the matter with the Zhang family first, and then talk to the Wen family later."
"Mother, now that the matter has been settled, can my son go out and do his work?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Wait until you feel more at ease before going out."
"You don't know, it's very annoying outside!" The girls along the way...
"Haha! What can I do? My son is so outstanding!"
Qi Wu looked at his mother's boundless confidence and shook his head helplessly.
He planned to read in the house and not go out.
…
After lunch the next day, Mrs. Qi invited Mrs. Wen to talk alone.
Old Mrs. Wen felt inexplicably uneasy, not knowing what Mrs. Qi wanted to talk to her about.
The opening was just polite talk, and gradually the conversation turned to the two young masters of the Qi family.
"He is quite handsome." Mrs. Qi said sourly.
"You are too modest."
"Haha, but this child is not only good-looking, but also filial and capable, and has many friends."
"Oh, I wonder what kind of girl has such good fortune." Old Mrs. Wen sighed sincerely.
"Well, he listens to me. As for me, I don't care about anything else. I just want to find someone I like. Haha, speaking of this... Mrs. Wen, your eldest granddaughter Wen Yu..."
Old Mrs. Wen's heart thumped and she fainted, barely suppressing her emotions.
"That girl is pretty and generous. I wonder if she is married to someone else?" Mrs. Qi really enjoyed the process.
But Old Mrs. Wen's mind was swirling like a violent storm.
The legitimate son and grandson of the Qi family are actually going to marry into the Wen family? Oh my God! If this works! I'm afraid the whole capital will know about the Wen family! So Madam Qi invited me here not because my son got promoted, but because she had already taken a fancy to Wen Yu?
Why?! But in her mind, she thought of Chen's death and her eldest son's confession. And Yuan, and Wen Yu's recent changes. Yesterday, Wu mentioned Wen Jiao to her... It would be great if she mentioned Wen Jiao.
No matter how well Wen Yu marries, it will be useless if she is not beneficial to the Wen family! Madam Qi didn't understand and looked at her with evil interest.
The incident happened too suddenly, and Mrs. Wen was unable to react for a moment. She forced a smile and said, "...Oh, this is really... a bit unfortunate..."
Mrs. Qi's expression did not change, and she waited quietly for her to finish.
"My eldest son and a very close friend are already discussing Wen Yu's marriage. Although the other party's family cannot be compared with the Qi family. The young man is not even close to your fifth son. But... we can't break the promise..."
Ha! This is really... You don't want to show your respect!
Mrs. Qi's face suddenly turned pale.
Are you treating me like a fool? Do you think I'd rashly propose marriage without asking for details? This woman is crazy...
The anger rose to his head, and then sank down. If it wasn't for Wen Yu saving my Yuanyuan, I would have had your whole family kicked out right now! He didn't mind the Wen family's reputation, nor did he mind that Wen Yu's mother died early, and he gave such an outstanding son to the Wen family as a son-in-law.
But I didn't expect that the Wen family would be so ungrateful! "Oh, is that so! You have to leave early tomorrow morning, so go back and rest early... Someone, show me around!" Madam Qi held up the teacup.
Was she driven away? ? Old Mrs. Wen jumped up and her face turned red: "Oh, Madam Qi, I..."
"Goodbye, Madam Wen!" The nanny beside Madam Qi was listening nearby. She took two steps forward and said coldly.
Mrs. Wen finally understood her identity and regretted it so much. Am I crazy?! Since they met, Mrs. Qi has been polite and courteous, and even treated the Wen family as honored guests. How could I be so ignorant of the world?!
Marquis, the wife of a first-rank general! I haven't even got an imperial decree yet, but I dared to reject the Qi family with my own mouth.
It’s over, it’s over. This is really a sin!
What should I do if I enter the capital? Will my son be affected? !
She wanted to save the situation, but seeing the attitude of the old woman, if she didn't leave, she would start a fight...
Madam Qi, sitting there holding a teacup, had a completely different aura than before.
She had no choice but to go out with a dusty face, and returned to her residence in a daze, sitting there. What should I do? What 's wrong with me? No matter what I thought before or how to arrange it later, once someone opened their mouth, they should be very happy to accept it!
At the beginning, Wen Feng and I wanted to send Wen Yu to the Wu Wang Mansion. Why am I so stupid when the time comes? !
The old lady was seen in a distraught state and was reported to Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wu didn't know what had happened, so she went straight to the old lady, "Mother, you don't look well..."
Mrs. Wen knew she shouldn't say it, but she couldn't help it, "Just now, I offended the Qi family."
Tomorrow morning, they are going to kick us out... This is really embarrassing! "How could this happen? Tell your wife about it?" Mrs. Wu didn't know what was going on, and she showed her usual calmness.
"Mrs. Qi told me that she wants...she wants Wen Yu to marry the fifth son of the Qi family."
"What?!" Wu was shocked by these words, "This... Mother, have you agreed?"
"I, no. I rejected her because Wen Yu's marriage proposal had already been arranged with a close friend."
Mrs. Wu's eyes lit up, "Mother, you didn't mention our Jiao'er?!"
"What did you say?!" Old Mrs. Wen screamed, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at Mrs. Wu.
The teacup hit Wu and she didn't even think of hiding.
The old lady cursed: "You bastard! You come from a respectable family after all. Is this what the Wu family taught you? Are you selling vegetables? Huh?! There are no radishes left. Do you want some lotus roots?! What the hell are you?"
She vented her shock, anger, embarrassment, shame, regret and other emotions on Wu.
Mrs. Wu was hit so hard that she was in great pain and her whole body was soaked with tea.
Until the teacup fell to the ground and shattered, Mrs. Wu kept her mouth open and didn't react.
Look at how ugly she is! Old Madam Wen was still furious: "Wen Jiao has a mother like you, and she still wants to marry into the Qi family?! Dream on! Get out!" Old Madam Wen pointed at the door frantically.
Wu's eyes turned red. She was the daughter-in-law of the Wen family, the mistress of the house! She was treated like this by her mother-in-law! She covered her face and ran back to her room crying.
Hey guys, are you happy?
