Chapter 453 Marry
I'm afraid I'll be buried with Miao Pu and that little bitch. They're so cruel that they actually took the feng shui map."
Mrs. Miao was very emotional when she talked about this incident.
The maid wiped her tears and said, "Fortunately, the Madam was not implicated. Now that Miao Pu is dead, the concubine who bullied the Madam will not be able to survive. She can return to her parents' home and start her life anew."
Mrs. Miao also smiled with tears in her eyes. Finally, life was getting better.
Miao Pu was a fourth-rank supervisor after all, and it would have been impossible for her to divorce with him around. But now that Miao Pu is dead, everything is different.
When I got out of the door, an ordinary carriage was waiting at the door. When the curtain was opened, a kind but old face appeared.
"Yu'er, let's go home."
Mrs. Miao cried with joy, "Dad!"
The Miao family incident caused a great stir in Beijing for a long time.
A month later, Le Yi's pregnancy was stable and she came to visit Pei's family.
"I heard that the concubine from the Miao family who was sentenced to immediate execution was actually your former cousin?" Le Yi stared with her round eyes.
"Yes." Zheng Ci smiled. "She has always been very brave. I didn't expect that after leaving the Liang family, she would become a concubine in the Miao family and even become involved with feng shui maps."
This matter involved a lot of things, so Zheng Ci chose to conceal it.
What is a feng shui map? It involves the safety of the entire Great Zhou. If the enemy has this feng shui map, they will know the Great Zhou like the back of their hand, and when they attack, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
This matter involves too many things, and Zheng Ci doesn't plan to tell anyone, including his parents.
If it gets leaked, the Pei family will also be in trouble.
"Really? It's a good thing you've cut off all ties with the Song family." Le Yi was still terrified. "I rushed here as soon as I heard the news, fearing you'd be implicated."
Zheng Ci was moved, but also felt a little guilty, guilty that she couldn't tell the truth.
"How's your pregnancy?" She changed the subject.
Le Yi also saw that she didn't want to continue this topic, so she touched her belly and said happily: "I'm fine. My father-in-law took my pulse and said that I'm very stable now."
She sighed, "These days, I've finally figured it out. Mother and brother are imprisoned, but at least they're still alive. As long as they stay alive, maybe our family will have a chance to meet again. I want to give birth to this child safely. They'll be happy to hear the news, too."
Zheng Ci nodded heavily, "Yes."
Le Yi picked up some interesting things to say, and the two chatted for a long time before Zheng Ci sent Le Yi out.
It was already late at this time, but someone from the Zheng family came with news that Old Mrs. Zheng had something to discuss with Zheng Ci and asked her to go to the Zheng family when she was free.
Old Mrs. Zheng is not the kind of person who makes trouble out of nothing. On the contrary, she has always been cautious. If she sent someone to deliver a message at this time, something must have happened.
Zheng Ci did not hesitate and asked the wet nurse to take good care of Zheng Jue before getting in the carriage and leaving.
The Zheng family members are all in the main hall at this moment, and no one has left.
Including Zheng Jiaojiao, who was wearing sackcloth and mourning clothes.
Her face was pale and haggard, and she had lost a lot of weight in recent days. She no longer had the bright and cheerful look before, but looked a little gloomy.
Seeing Zheng Ci coming, he couldn't hide his vicious eyes, and finally he calmed down after being given a warning look by Zheng Lang.
"Grandmother." Zheng Ci bowed and then asked, "Where is Grandfather?"
"Your grandfather has had a headache recently. I didn't tell him about this because I was afraid he would be upset." She pointed to the seat beside her, "Sit down and talk."
"yes."
In the crowd, a girl in a pink dress lowered her head and sobbed softly.
Seeing Zheng Ci's doubts, Old Lady Zheng sighed, "This matter is related to your second cousin, so I asked you to come here to discuss it."
"Grandma, I don't want you to make things difficult for me. I'll just get married."
The girl who was being spoken of looked up with tears on her face, but her eyes were firm.
"Marry? Do you think that just marrying them will solve the problem? They will only make things difficult for you and use you to threaten our Zheng family. How can we risk your life to do that?"
Old Mrs. Zheng’s words made Zheng Nuan even sadder.
Her grandmother actually thought so much about her. She is afraid of death and loves life. Is she still a member of the Zheng family?
"I'm not afraid." Zheng Nuan said.
The aunt next to him scolded, "Nonsense, this is a matter of life and death for you."
Zheng Nuan bit her lip. "But, but the Qi family won't cancel the engagement. They're so determined. Do you really want me to beg them? I'm not the kind of person who would be so selfish as to bring shame to the Zheng family for my own sake."
Old Mrs. Zheng looked at Zheng Nuan with appreciation. Finally, this granddaughter was not wasted.
Not like the second room.
But precisely because of this, she was even more reluctant to let Zheng Nuan marry into the Qi family.
The Qi family is a den of tigers and wolves. Everything will be ruined if you marry into it.
Besides, didn’t the Qi family choose Zheng Nuan just because they loved her?
"Grandma, what happened?"
Only then did Old Lady Zheng and the others slowly piece together the whole story. It turned out that today in the court, Lord Qi asked the Emperor for an order to grant a marriage between Zheng Nuan and his son Qi Li.
The emperor did not agree immediately, but said that he would ask the Zheng family for their opinion.
The Qi family took out another sign and said that it was a token of the Zheng family's early years. If they took out this sign, the Zheng family would have to agree to a condition.
The Zheng family also knew about this matter. In the early years when Duke Zheng's eldest brother was still alive, the Qi family helped him once. He left a jade token and said that the Zheng family could also help the Qi family once.
I didn't expect the Qi family to use it to threaten people at this time.
Over the years, the Qi family has gradually become less capable.
The Zheng family has always stood firm. In addition, after the emperor ascended the throne, he was a cautious person. Of course, he had a natural liking for the Zheng family who were cautious and loyal to the emperor, and he immediately reused the Zheng family.
The men of the Zheng family are also great. They seized the opportunity and did not disappoint the emperor.
In this way, the Zheng family finally became the focus of everyone in Beijing again.
The reason why the Qi family made such a request at this juncture was simply because they wanted to continue to survive by relying on the Zheng family's momentum after the marriage.
But who is Qi Li?
He was a frequent visitor to red-light districts and everyone in Beijing knew about his absurdity.
Before getting married, he already had more than a dozen people sharing the same room with him.
How could such a person be worthy of Zheng Nuan, the second daughter of the Zheng family?
"I understand. Grandmother and Auntie don't agree with this marriage and want to find a way to cancel it."
Zheng Laotian nodded, "Exactly. The Qi family's motives are not pure. They don't really fancy Zheng Nuan. Besides, Qi Li is a piece of trash. If Zheng Nuan marries him, it will be too late in this life."
Zheng Ci's thoughts turned and his eyes lit up.
"Xiao Ci, do you have any idea?" The eldest lady looked surprised.
Zheng Ci nodded slightly, "I do have a solution, but it might still require some sacrifices."
"I'm not afraid of sacrifice."
Zheng Nuan said seriously.
Zheng Ci smiled and said, "Okay, in that case, you marry him first."
Everyone was stunned. The eldest lady exclaimed, "How can this be possible? What kind of method is this?"
