Chapter 311 Finding a Sister-in-law for Yourself
He pretended to be docile and weak, but turned out to be a smiling tiger. Beating his personal maid in front of so many people was just a slap in her face.
But she couldn't complain. It would be so embarrassing if word got out that she had broken into the house.
She is going to get married.
"You bastard, get out of here right now. My cousin is right. If she hadn't instigated me, I wouldn't be like this." Qiao Yun smiled ugly, and the smile on his face was almost distorted.
Song Ci pretended not to notice and asked directly, "Cousin Qiao Yun, what brought you here today?"
Thinking of the purpose of today, Qiao Yun's smile finally became more sincere. She pursed her lips and smiled, "I came here today to ask my cousin to do me a favor.
Song Ci raised his eyebrows, knowing that the point was coming, but he smiled without saying anything.
Seeing that Song Ci didn't respond, Qiao Yun couldn't help but say, "It's like this. I heard that Master Pei Ji, who was with my cousin yesterday, is a famous talent in the capital. I usually have nothing to do, so I like to read. I wonder if my cousin could introduce him to me so that I can hear Master Pei's views on poetry and books."
Wanxiang widened her eyes and immediately understood that Qiao Yun probably didn't know about the relationship between his young lady and Mr. Pei.
Tian'er almost laughed out loud. It was really interesting to poach someone in front of his own lady.
This person said he was reading? This kind of behavior doesn't seem like someone who loves reading. The one who really loves reading is probably Miss Qiao Yu.
Song Ci thought for a moment and said, "Well, cousin Qiao Yun, tell me what books you like to read. I'll tell Master Pei later so he knows how to answer you."
"I, I..." Qiao Yun did not expect Song Ci to ask this question, and he immediately became anxious and sweated profusely.
"Cousin Qiao Yun, could it be that you don't know the name of the book you're reading?"
"I, I remember!" She suddenly remembered what she had seen on the teacher's desk. "I read Women's Training and Women's Precepts. I think it should be a common topic with Master Pei. He is well-versed in many books, so I think he must have read books like this."
As soon as the words fell, Wanxiang was the first to laugh out loud, and the room was filled with the sound of "puchi".
Song Ci couldn't help laughing and joined in. When someone started laughing, the others behind him couldn't help it and everyone started laughing immediately.
Even the two sisters Qiao Yu and Qiao Suo, who had arrived at some unknown time, were standing at the door and laughing.
"You, what do you mean! What's so funny?" Although Qiao Yun didn't understand what was going on, he knew that everyone was laughing at him, and his cheeks turned red with anger.
In the end, Qiao Yu kindly explained, "Third sister, these books all talk about women's Three Obediences and Four Virtues, virtues such as virtuousness and filial piety. The teacher mentioned these books when he was teaching, and said that they were outdated. Women today are far more capable than before, and these books are only for reference. Do you think Master Pei would read such books?"
Qiao Yu kindly explained, but Qiao Yun was not grateful and felt that the other party was making fun of him.
"What's wrong with the Three Obediences and Four Virtues? Women have always been valued for their virtuousness, filial piety, and gentleness." She suddenly said with a vicious look: "People like you who disobey the rules of our ancestors, no wonder you are still not considered a good person."
Qiao Yu wasn't angry, but Qiao Suo was. "What nonsense are you talking about? He was my sister's fiancé, and you were having affairs outside, causing the engagement to be invalid. What does that have to do with my sister? Qiao Yun, stop spouting nonsense."
Qiao Suo was angry and his words became bolder.
Being publicly accused of spitting shit, Qiao Yun became even more angry and started to speak without restraint, "How did I spit shit? Was I wrong? If Qiao Yu wasn't incompetent and couldn't keep a man, there wouldn't be any reason for her to be broken off!"
Qiao Yu endured it again and again, her knuckles turning white from pinching the hem of her skirt. Finally, her face darkened. "A man who cheats on his wife and gets his maid pregnant is not a good man. If he wants to break off the engagement, I will naturally agree. The world is so vast, can I only marry someone with such terrible character? I'm not as tolerant as my cousin Qiao Yun, how can I keep a man like him?"
"Who said I want it, who said I want to keep it."
"Didn't you just say that I can't keep a man? Since you like this man, I'll give him to you. The Chen family will not let a maidservant be the main wife. It just so happens that cousin Qiao Yun is the main wife. Isn't it just right?"
Qiao Yun jumped up and pointed at Qiao Yu, looking as angry as an angry wild boar with spikes all over his body.
"Qiao Yu, you have such sinister intentions! I'm not even engaged yet, so don't even think about ruining my reputation. Don't think I don't know you're just jealous that I'm prettier than you."
Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled. "Is that what you think? I'm such a fool. Why would I argue with someone like you?"
Looking at Song Ci, he said, "Cousin Song Ci, I wanted to invite you to enjoy the flowers together, but now I'm in a bad mood, so I'll go back first."
Qiao Suo also nodded to Song Ci and hurriedly chased after Qiao Yu. The room was quiet for a while.
Qiao Yun felt that everyone was looking at her, and she stomped her feet in anger and ran out. The farce ended there.
"Finally she left. Since she came, the lady's yard has become smelly. A sour smell. And she's still talking about Miss Qiao Yu. She doesn't even look at what she looks like. She thinks she's a fairy. She's so superior and looks down on others. Pah."
It was rare for Wanxiang to be so angry, so Song Ci didn't try to stop her. She just said, "Don't bother with her. People like her will destroy themselves sooner or later. She may be magnanimous, but it depends on whether she has the ability to do it. Talk alone doesn't count."
Wanxiang narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Although I don't know what the lady means, but what the lady said must be right!"
"Miss, what you mean is that Qiao Yun will eventually commit suicide."
"I agree! Look at how arrogant she is! I've never seen any other young lady like this in the capital. Even Princess Le Yi has never been so arrogant! Does she think she's more noble than a princess?"
The two of them were talking back and forth, both sneering at Qiao Yun.
Song Ci recalled Qiao Yu's lost look just now, and thought that the engagement that Qiao Yun mentioned must have a story behind it.
The next day.
Cow's milk cake was made in the kitchen. Song Ci asked Wanxiang to take a basket and go to Qiao Yu's place. When she opened the door, Qiao Yu was a little surprised.
"Why are you here so early in the morning? Come and sit down, sister."
"The kitchen made fresh milk cakes. I saw my sister liked them that day, so I brought some over."
Looking at the steaming hot milk cake in the basket, Qiao Yu sighed, "You noticed this and even sent it to me specially."
"Sister is a good person, so naturally I like to be close to her."
After a few words, the two felt that their relationship had become much closer.
Qiao Yu suddenly brought up what happened yesterday. "Don't worry about making me sad. I've already forgotten all about that. He wasn't meant to be with me anyway, so it's better to call off the engagement."
