Chapter 42 The Four Young Masters and Their Husbands
"Mother, that's all I have to say." Qin Hanjue replied in a low voice aggrievedly: Keeping people in suspense is indeed prohibited.
"After returning home, Master Su reprimanded Zhang and the Third Miss, and even punished the Third Miss to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors and copy the family rules.
One reason was that the maid had an affair with the eldest son and was also unclear with her cousin. In order to protect herself from being sold out, the maid said that she was instructed by Zhang and that the Su family could not just ignore her after using her. So Taifu Su asked the eldest son to take her as his concubine, drove the cousin out and never allowed him to enter the Su Mansion again, and scolded Zhang.
Secondly, the incident of the third sister-in-law falling into the water was investigated. The third young lady made many mistakes and finally, under the intimidation of Master Su, she admitted that she was instigated by Ji Bingwen to frame her third brother and sister-in-law, and that the third sister-in-law had nothing to do with it, so the third young lady was punished. ”
Su Qianqian pretended to be surprised: "So Miss Ji's hand was also involved? Then haven't I suffered for her all these years?"
Qin family: You can pretend to be more realistic.
Madam Qin said, "In that case, we really wronged Qianqian back then. It was us, the Qin family, who were short-sighted, and it was the Zhang mother and daughter who were vicious. How could they treat their stepdaughter and elder sister like this? If this matter gets out, I'm afraid her marriage will be difficult."
Qin Family: When it comes to being cruel, you are second to none!
[Why do I like my grandmother more and more? She is such a kind and righteous old lady. I must have inherited my personality from her. Su Miaomiao is my sister, and I must help her find a good marriage. I think Qi Min has achieved great things and likes to frame others, so I must help her! 】
Qin family: Su Miaomiao, Qi Mincheng, you are finished.
Lu Zhiqing had already regained her composure by this time. When she heard that the misunderstanding between the Qin family and Su Qianqian was completely resolved, she couldn't help but look at Su Qianqian one more time.
Ten days ago, this was an incompetent woman who was fooled by her, but unexpectedly, she suddenly became very successful in the Qin family. Qin Hanzhang no longer mentioned the matter of divorce, and the Qin family simply listened to her every word. However, she was still that timid quail. What had changed?
Qin Hanzhang and Qin Hanyue also came back at this time. Qin Hanyue's wife, Wang, quickly stood up and waited until her husband sat down before sitting down.
Old Madam Qin ordered the meal to be served. The Qin family members ate in silence, but their ears were not idle. They continued to follow the system and Su Qianqian to eat melons.
Su Qianqian was eating the melon with her ears, but her eyes were looking at everyone. It seemed that they were eating more than usual. Old Madam Qin obviously had a good appetite and her face was even rosier than usual.
[Speaking of the Minister of Personnel's second daughter Xing Yurong, she is your close friend Yin Yueniang and also her sister-in-law. She mocked you that day because she knew your relationship. This time she is completely humiliated. 】
Mrs. Du looked at her mother-in-law. They knew Yin Yue Niang because she was the only person who came to the house to visit Su Qianqian. According to etiquette, they would go to the elders to greet them first. However, the Qin family had never paid attention to her. They only knew that her father was the Minister of Justice Yin Heng.
[I see. I always heard that her sisters-in-law looked down on her and laughed at her for only being able to give birth to daughters, and that she had to take in concubines for her husband to give birth to sons.
Although the sister-in-law herself was childless, her husband was chaste and deeply in love with her. She took out all her private money to help her husband get a promotion, but it turned out to be just a scam. Men's words are deceiving, and whoever believes them deserves to be in trouble. 】
The man of the Qin family: Talking like this will affect our unity, we can all believe it.
[My lady, the Fourth Young Master and the Fourth Young Master’s wife also have some gossip! Although they have been married for more than half a year, the Fourth Young Master's wife is still a virgin, just like you. The two of them sleep separately when they return to their rooms, without interfering with each other. They are just pretending to be nice in public. 】
As soon as the system finished speaking, the fourth young master's wife, Wang, and the fourth young master, Qin Hanyue, almost lost their jobs. In the end, the disaster fell on their heads!
The Qin family, especially the second wife Liu, were so wide-eyed that they almost popped out of their heads. She was still hoping that her daughter-in-law would let her hold a grandson as soon as possible, at least before Han Zhang. The eldest branch of the family already had two grandsons and a granddaughter!
Su Qianqian was shocked when she saw Liu's expression, and she didn't care about the rules: "Pour some water quickly, Second Aunt is choking!"
Everyone came to their senses and hurriedly pretended to pour water for Liu to cover it up.
Why are they doing this? 】Su Qianqian saw that Liu had calmed down a little, so she continued to eat melon.
[The Fourth Young Master's wife, Wang, was born into a scholarly family. Her eldest brother was the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, and her father was the Minister of the Imperial Household. Although she was young, she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She had hoped to be in harmony with a young man of extraordinary talent, but she did not expect to marry a military commander like the Fourth Young Master by mistake. 】
The Fourth Young Master had a gloomy face at this time. He looked at Su Qianqian and seemed to want to say something but stopped. Wang's face turned pale and she stirred the bowl with chopsticks, but she couldn't swallow a single grain of rice.
[The Fourth Young Master is also like this. Both his mother and grandmother were skilled in martial arts. The woman in his mind is one who can wear armor and go into battle like his grandmother.
Moreover, before the marriage, he heard inadvertently that the fourth young master's wife had a crush on someone, and that man was Cui Jing, the third place winner of the previous imperial examination and an editor in the Hanlin Academy. However, the marriage proposal could not be turned down, and he was afraid that if it were to be made public, it would tarnish the fourth young master's wife's reputation, so he got married reluctantly.
On the wedding night, the two reached a consensus to live together in peace and look for an opportunity to divorce and set each other free.
But the funny thing is that the fourth young master's wife didn't know that the scholar who had taken the imperial examination already had a wife in his hometown. He was in Beijing for the imperial examination and lived in a small courtyard in the suburbs. He deliberately ran into the fourth young master's wife, lied that his family was poor and showed his talent, and deceived the fourth young master's wife into helping him with all her heart.
In fact, he also accepted gifts from several young ladies at the same time, but he always found a way to get out of it. Even if the fourth young master's wife did not marry the fourth young master, the third place winner would not choose her because he had already chosen the one from Duke Xu, whose mother was the eldest princess. Such power would help him rise to the top.
The fourth young master's wife thought she was engaged, and Cui Jing was heartbroken and accepted Lu Fengyi. Although they were not destined to be together in this life, she remained determined. The talented women were very persistent and self-disciplined when they were stuck in a dead end, unlike some bad women. 】
The system did not forget to point out the topic at the end.
Su Qianqian: Can I suspect that you are implying something about me?
Wang's face was pale at this time. She didn't want to believe what the system said. If she believed it, then what she had been doing all along would be like a fool who was fooled.
But she had almost no chance to question it. Every incident in the past few days verified that the system had never made any mistakes, and the system described all the characters' processes clearly, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
[According to the plot in the book, the fourth young master's wife was the only female member of the Qin family who escaped. At the end of the year, she forced Qin Hanyue to divorce her, even though Qin Hanyue had already fallen in love with her at that time. Later, when she came to see her off at the execution ground, Qin Hanyue was glad to let her go. 】
Su Qianqian recalls and adds to the plot.
Qin Hanyue's eyebrows jumped and she gripped the edge of the bowl tightly. Wang could hardly sit still.
Madam Qin sighed and said, "Brother Yue, your wife has been a little tired these days. Why don't you take her back to rest first?"
Qin Hanyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up to thank her grandmother, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to help Wang up.
"Mother, your daughter-in-law has something to say." Second Madam Liu suddenly stood up and said, and Wang couldn't help but tremble.
