Otherwise, why would Mrs. Jiang agree so readily and send someone from thousands of miles away to propose marriage?

At first, I thought my daughter was outstanding because she was protected by her grandfather. But I didn't expect that Mrs. Jiang was choosing someone who had a good reputation, was not powerful enough, was liked by her son, and was easy to control.

No wonder she took such a concubine for her son! She must have planned to adopt the concubine's child to the eldest son's family. Then, her beloved eldest son and her niece from her mother's family would inherit the Jiang family!

This witch!

Du Liu stood up and walked back and forth in the room...

The mother and daughter were just like Monkey King, jumping around for a long time, but they were still held in the palm of Buddha's hand.

She stopped and smiled bitterly... "Everything is lost!" These four words popped into her mind.

What to do? She went to the door and ordered the servants: "Go and get the best doctor!" Let's first see if anyone has done anything to that silly girl! Qin Lianyue came out with makeup, and she looked so graceful. How proud and admired she was before? But now, she only regretted it. She should have been stiffed long ago! "Have you settled all the accounts in your hands?" Du Liu sat down and asked in a deep voice.

Qin Lianyue was about to cry again when she was mentioned. "Stop crying!" Du Liu slammed the table and yelled.

Qin Lianyue was stunned. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said, "I have seen them all. The gifts from my cousin... the big silver and things are all accounted for. The small things are gone. I guess he wouldn't remember them so carefully. As for the silver, my daughter spent 30%. The things... some are displayed in the house. If I return them... the Jiang family and my husband gave me some, so I can display them. But, I feel uneasy if I continue to live with them."

"By the way, tell me, how did you think of showing this off to Wen Yu?"

"My daughter didn't say that! She just said that my cousin was studying in the Qin family, and she had known me since she was a child...well...he...he was very good to her." Qin Lian really remembered the scene when Qi Wu gave her something, and shook her body a little embarrassedly.

Du Liu's head buzzed: She is really sick.

What to do? "I can't go back for the New Year anyway, so you can bring the bill over these two days. Mother will make an appointment with your aunt and ask her what to do about this matter."

"Mother!" Qin Lianyue had an idea, tears welling up in her eyes: "The person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it! I have to talk to my cousin about this. Otherwise, you can call my cousin over and I will tell him!"

Du Liu almost slapped her, but after enduring for a long time, he was trembling.

"Let me handle this! Lianyue... The Qin family is in trouble!" Du Liu's eyes were red. "After your great-grandfather passed away, the younger generation was not able to do it. The family property was also lost... If your brother's generation can't make it, the Qin family will slowly decline."

Qin Lianyue was a little nervous when she heard this, "Mom..."

"Mother is not lying to you. Originally, I planned that you would marry into the Jiang family and become a strong support for your father and brother. But now it seems that you are not capable of that!"

"Mom!" Qin Lianyue was unhappy because she was looked down upon.

"Really. In that case, just take care of yourself first. Don't think too much. At least you are in the Jiang family and your life is not difficult."

She was thinking about something carefully and ignored Qin Lianyue.

After a while, the doctor came and examined Qin Lianyue for a long time. He said, "This lady just has a little uterine cold, there is nothing serious wrong."

"Really?" Du Liu doubted, "Is her uterine coldness caused by taking cold things?"

"It's not impossible. But the lady is a little weak. Not to mention that it's difficult to conceive, even if she is pregnant, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to survive until the baby is born. She still needs to take good care of herself! She should be cheerful, eat more meat, and walk more. It will be better than taking herbal medicine."

After seeing the doctor off, Du Liu was still skeptical, but he still followed the doctor's instructions and talked to Qin Lianyue for a long time.

…

Madam Qi received the letter and said to Wen Yu, "Du Liu is here, so fast!"

Wen Yu said: "So she has to spend the New Year in Beijing. She is really working hard for her daughter."

Qi Wu had something to do today, so he went out early in the morning. He didn't let Wen Yu go out on her own, so Wen Yu didn't go to the store today. She was chatting with Mrs. Qi, and she mentioned that she passed by Cui's house yesterday and went in to give food and toys to Yuanyuan and Xiao Baoer. She felt that Baoer was more sensible than before. The two little girls played together and went to class together. They were ruddy and looked very good.

While chatting, he was also making lace for Mrs. Qi.

Madam Qi nodded her small upturned nose, feeling that she had been blessed by the Buddha to have such a good wife. As for the pregnancy, she was not in a hurry. The family situation was complicated now, and being pregnant would make it easy for others to plot against her. She was not old either...

No wonder Madam Qi said that Madam Jiang could not compare with her. They thought differently from the beginning to the end.

"I'll go meet her!" Mrs. Qi said coldly.

"Mother, the key to this matter is to make Qin Lianyue behave herself and stop causing trouble. Otherwise, if the news gets out, won't people talk about your husband? Seeing Jiang Er again, everyone will be embarrassed, right? Just taking this matter as an example, Mr. Jiang Er did nothing wrong, and your husband is also innocent. They shouldn't be dragged down by such an inexplicable child.

As for those material possessions... I took a quick look, it's been a long time, twenty thousand silver is enough. I think, it's not personal, so don't bother with her. Otherwise, she has lost so much at once, and her life is hard, and she may have some crooked ideas. If it goes on and on, it will be annoying. "

"Ah... I hope they will appreciate your kindness!"

Madam Qi came to the inn as agreed. It was almost New Year, and there were many people in the inn, a bit chaotic, but they were just going home for the New Year, passing through the capital, buying some things, and leaving soon.

In a few days, there will be no one here. The shopkeeper and the shop assistants also have to celebrate the New Year! How uncomfortable is it for her to stay here and not leave? Humph, she must be doing it on purpose!

As expected, as soon as she entered the room, Du Liu's eyes were filled with joy and he bowed deeply, "Sister... I, I am so sorry!"

Mrs. Qi knew that she was mostly acting, but... she was really helpless. "Come on, sit down and talk!" She ignored her and sat down.

The bitch Qin Lianyue wasn't in the room!

Du Liu sat down and started to cry, "Sister, I am greedy and forgetful. I am sorry for you and Xiaowu, and I have ruined Lianlian. Now, I have suffered a great loss..." He covered his face with a handkerchief. This time he was not crying fakely, he was really sad and disappointed.

Madam Qi disagreed: "Don't say that! You can't find a match with the Jiang family even with a lantern. It's just that you wanted the Duke's Mansion, and your greed didn't get you what you wanted!"

"Have you known for a long time that Jiang Er has no chance of becoming a noble in the Duke's Mansion?" Du Liu asked with tears in his eyes.

"How would I know about his family's affairs? I can't even figure out my own family's affairs!"

"Sister, I was also worried that the Qi family was complicated and Lianyue couldn't handle it. It just so happened that the Jiang family came to mention it, so I made up my mind to break the contract. All of this seems to be destined."

Madam Qi sneered: "That's because Qin Lianyue was attracted by Jiang Er's romanticism and pretended to flirt with him, right? And you, too, were really attracted by the title of the Jiang family. So, don't cry. Although your plan failed, the marriage of the Jiang family is also quite brilliant.

If she lives honestly and doesn't do anything weird, she can live well. No matter how much, she can take care of your husband and son. But now it seems that she is unwilling to do so! She is making trouble..."

"Sister, I don't know why this girl is like this. To be honest, she regretted her engagement. When she arrived in the capital, she wanted to explain and apologize to Xiaowu, so I slapped her hard. For so many years, I really haven't said a harsh word to her, but I slapped her so hard... Sister, I can't do anything!"

"Why are you talking to me about this? Are the silver and other items ready?"

"Before, I didn't know much about these things. After seeing your letter, I became anxious. I hurried to Beijing... and told my family that she was seriously ill. After I came, I asked her to bring the bills. I took a look... You really loved her before!"

She didn't mention that it was Qi Wu who gave it to her, which actually shows that she is smarter than Qin Lianyue.

"You don't have to beat around the bush with me. This matter cannot be resolved. If people find out, our Xiaowu will at most be laughed at. Jiang Er will be embarrassed. Our Xiaowu is not afraid of him! But do you know what happened to Qin Lianyue? Either she died or she was divorced! So put away those little thoughts and think carefully about what to do next!"

Du Liu was so worried that he almost died...
