Chapter 159: The Host
“Ah~~~”
"Get them out!"
Mrs. Qin hid behind her son, screaming loudly.
"Get this beast out..."
Qin Siyan took out a dagger and shouted at the white wolf: "Beast, get out!"
The white wolf remained motionless.
She glanced at him sideways, leaned next to the girl and let her pull her hair.
Jiang Miaomiao looked at them with an innocent smile.
Qin Siyan now realized that the white wolf was attracted by this little guy.
Although the child is good-looking, he is dressed in fancy and rustic clothes, and has no gold or silver locks or anything on his body. He looks empty and does not look like a child of this family at all.
The Lu Mansion is really unruly. The housekeeper is actually a maid. She left them here and disappeared without a trace.
The tea-serving maid came into the room and actually walked towards the girl, bringing her a plate of pastries. She was not afraid of the white wolf, nor did she have any intention of driving it away.
Qin Siyan felt inexplicably angry.
He scolded the maid, "This is how you treat guests! Get the wolf and the cub out of here, and hand over Jiang Qiao'er."
The tea maid smacked her lips.
What kind of person is this? Not only does he come to visit without giving a gift in advance, but he also wants to take the initiative.
"Where does Mr. Qin want to take my daughter?"
As Lu Qingyao stepped over the threshold, she saw someone yelling at Jiang Miaomiao.
I already had a prejudice against Qin Liulang, and now I look down on him even more.
What's more, his father was involved in a corruption case, which made it even more impossible.
Fortunately, my brother and sister-in-law did not agree to this marriage.
Haitang followed behind and whispered to her what had just happened.
After hearing the scream, she turned around and went to the Cui family to find the head of the family.
Anyway, in their own home, Miaomiao will not be the one who suffers.
Seeing Lu Qingyao come in, Qin Liulang put away his dagger and stepped forward to salute in a pretentious manner, "It's just a misunderstanding, Madam Lu, please don't be offended!"
Mrs. Qin looked up and down at the woman who walked in.
I have some impression that she was always by Princess Liang's side on the night of the Lantern Festival. It is said that it was she who saved Princess Liang when the theater caught fire.
I didn't notice it that night, but when I looked at her today, I realized that she had a very poor vibe. She was so young but dressed like a nun.
If the Qi girl next door hadn't told her that all the bamboo shoots in Qingshi Town were sold by this woman, she would have thought she was a country girl from somewhere.
She no longer cared about being afraid. She lifted her skirt and sat back on the chair, acting like a wealthy wife.
He raised his eyebrows at Lu Qingyao and said, "I didn't expect Madam Lu to be so hospitable. It really opened my eyes!"
The tone is sarcastic.
"Mrs. Qin, you're joking. I'm not a deity in the temple, so how could I have predicted that there would be guests visiting today?" Lu Qingyao didn't hesitate to speak. After she finished speaking, she walked straight over and sat in the main seat.
Serve tea to see the guests off.
Mrs. Qin's face turned red and white.
She is the daughter of a criminal and an abandoned woman, but she still pays so much attention to etiquette and thinks she is a lady of the general's mansion.
Of course, I swallowed the words back when they came to my lips.
"Mrs. Lu, Qiaojie is at your house, right? I came here today just to see her and have a few words with her."
Lu Qingyao acted as if she didn't hear anything and waved to her little girl, "Miaomiao, come here."
Jiang Miaomiao ran over with her short legs and fell into her mother's arms.
With a pouty mouth, she complained to her mother, "Mom, this uncle and the old lady want to chase me away, but Miaomiao won't leave and wants to wait for you."
Madam Qin and Master Qin looked pale and their brows were furrowed.
This kid is really smart. He was smiling just now, but in the blink of an eye he looks like he has suffered a great injustice.
besides……
Uncle! Grandma!
Are they that old?
They are of different generations from Jiang Qiaoer.
This damn kid!
Haitang almost sneered and quickly turned her head away.
Lu Qingyao pursed her lips and smiled softly, lowered her head and touched her daughter's green onion flowers, hiding the smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Miaomiao must have been with Cui Liulang for too long, her little mouth looks like it's been poisoned.
She looked at the Qin family mother and son, and asked with a hint of questioning in her tone, "Madam Qin, Master Qin, I don't know how my son offended you two. You want to drive her away? She's still so young, and we always speak softly to her. Why are you yelling at her?"
Mrs. Qin widened her eyes. She had never seen such a confusion of right and wrong.
Who is bullying whom?
This little brat brought the wolf in and scared her almost to death. She is still panicking now.
"Children speak without restraint, it's all misunderstanding..." Qin Siyan suppressed his anger and smiled awkwardly.
Lu Qingyao didn't want to get entangled with them anymore, she just wanted them to give up and glanced at Jiang Xiaobai.
When the little white wolf saw that its little master had left, it followed with its tail wagging, squatted at the feet of little Miaomiao and hummed twice.
When Mrs. Qin saw the white wolf getting closer to her, she became nervous again.
He stood up and hid behind his son, pointing at Jiang Xiaobai, "Take this beast away... Take it away quickly..."
Jiang Miaomiao suddenly slid off her mother and ran to Mrs. Qin.
He said fiercely, "You are not allowed to take it away. It's Xiaobai, not an animal."
It didn't matter that she went over, the little white wolf also stood up and ran over.
"Ah! Don't come over here..." Mrs. Qin screamed in fright and almost jumped onto the stool.
Lu Qingyao just found it funny.
If you are scared, just go back. Why are you coming here like a madman?
She sat quietly for a while before she brought her little girl back.
Look down.
The little guy actually looked at her with a smile.
Lu Qingyao: ...
Little clever ghost.
Although scaring someone to death does not result in human death, it will probably result in the wolf's death.
A wolf’s life is also a life, it’s not worth it.
Lu Qingyao looked at the Qin family mother and son with a hint of apology. "My child is young and ignorant. Madam Qin, please don't be angry with her. This white wolf is her beloved pet. She can't stand being called a beast. She gets angry at anyone who calls her that... Madam, please be patient!"
Qin Siyan: ...
His face became gloomier and gloomier, and he was furious.
This is called being young and ignorant!
He gripped the handle of the dagger tightly, wishing he could cut the wolf into pieces. If he caught it, he would make sure it never came back.
Mrs. Qin's face was pale and she clenched her back teeth tightly.
This woman actually mocked her for being narrow-minded!
It's ironic that she's arguing with a child!
never mind.
When that little girl gets married, she'll be in trouble. I'll take revenge on her for today's incident.
Jiang Xiaobai sat back next to Jiang Miaomiao. He would go wherever his master went and would never let his master be bullied.
Qin Siyan and her mother looked at each other.
Mrs. Qin understood and softened her attitude a bit.
She forced a few smiles on her stiff face and said with a wry smile, "Mrs. Lu, could you please let us meet Qiao Jie? Her parents have agreed to the marriage of the two children, and you, as her aunt, are preventing us from meeting her. What's the point of this?"
Jiang Miaomiao stared at her face intently, and her crow's feet and nasolabial folds were exposed.
Lu Qingyao chuckled, "May I ask, Madam Qin, have my brother and sister-in-law ever accepted your betrothal geese? Have you ever exchanged engagement letters?"
Who is he trying to fool? If he had agreed, why would Qiao'er have hidden away?
brazen!
Mrs. Qin was speechless. Isn't this just one step short?
Qin Liulang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Lu Qingyao scoffed, "So, it's confiscated... so how can we even talk about engagement? Madam was born into a wealthy family, how could she not know the most basic wedding customs?"
Mrs. Qin bit her lip and said nothing.
She had always looked down on the village girl, but her son was obsessed with marrying her.
Considering Jiang Yunhu's family background and conditions, it would be a great honor for Jiang Qiao'er to be his concubine, yet she is still making excuses.
If it weren't for Jiang Yunze, there would still be the business in Qingshi Town.
Otherwise, she must be crazy to condescend to come through this door and humiliate herself.
A peasant girl, not even worthy enough to be her son's concubine.
Qin Siyan still didn't give up and took a step forward, "Madam Lu, why do you want to stop someone from getting married? I fell in love with Qiao'er at first sight and I can't help myself. I will marry her in this life!"
After hearing what he said, Lu Qingyao was so angry that she laughed.
"You have to marry her, have you asked her if she's willing? I heard she'd rather be a nun than marry you."
Qin Siyan's face was a little embarrassed, and he was so angry that he slammed the table and said angrily: "No matter whether she is willing or not, I am determined to marry Jiang Qiao'er."
Seeing his true nature revealed, Lu Qingyao became a little worried.
It is said that it is easy to get along with gentlemen but difficult to guard against villains, and they cannot guard Qiaoer all the time.
Jiang Miaomiao shrank into her mother's arms.
This man is too violent and must not be married. I'm afraid he is another King of Liang.
Seeing that her son had stopped pretending, Mrs. Qin also felt aggrieved and blurted out everything in her mind.
"Madam Lu, your daughter Qiao'er is a good girl, but she is not young anymore. Many people have come to propose marriage to her. But look at those people. No matter their character, appearance or family background, who can compare to my son Liulang? If she doesn't marry now, she will never get the chance again. She really thinks she is a daughter of an official. Let her be picky. If she doesn't marry my son Liulang, does she really want to marry a widower or an old scholar..."
"Don't worry, my Qiao'er won't marry, so what's going on with all those marriage proposals? Don't you know? Let's go, before everyone in Jiangzhou knows that you're trying to take her by force and bully her."
Lu Qingyao interrupted her, served the tea and stood up to see the guest off.
Seeing that the two refused to leave, she said directly to Little White Wolf: "Xiaobai, show them away!"
Jiang Xiaobai received the order and walked forward with his tail in his mouth, showing his fangs, and pounced on the two of them with a "woof".
The mother and son were scared to death.
Qin Siyan was the first to run out of the house, and before leaving, he uttered a harsh word, "Just wait, I won't let you go."
Madam Qin was so frightened that her legs were shaking and she couldn't move. She was carried out of the door by her maids and servants.
He walked and cursed.
"Haitang, now that we have made it clear, there is no need for us to meet this mother and son again when they come to our house." Lu Qingyao ordered.
Qiao'er had already burst into tears at the door.
Xiuxiu pulled the person into the house. Originally, her elder sister asked her to watch Qiao'er and prevent her from coming to the front yard to hear these dirty words, but it turned out that she was even more impatient than Qiao'er.
Look, the two of them hid outside the door, and Qiaoer heard everything they had just said.
"Sister, I think Qin Liulang is a difficult person. No matter who he marries in the future, I'm afraid he will never have peace." At this moment, Xiuxiu really wanted to turn him into another King Liang.
But my sister wouldn't let me.
Lu Qingyao instructed, "Xiu Xiu, go find out about the dirty secrets in the Qin Mansion's backyard. There's a fire in the backyard. Let's see if he has the time to bother Qiao'er."
The Qin family won’t last long if things continue like this, so let’s add fuel to the fire for them.
"Okay, sister, I'll go and find out right away. I'll reveal all of them one by one, and I'll make sure he has no time to spare." Xiuxiu said and strode out of the house.
It's not her character to be tolerant and hold back.
"Qiao'er, just stay in the mansion for the next few days. I have already found another accountant in Qingshi Town. County Magistrate Xu will help take care of your parents. You don't have to worry." Lu Qingyao wanted to comfort Qiao'er.
When I turned around, I saw that Qiao'er had already been coaxed by the little girl.
Miaomiao poured out all the snacks from her small cloth bag.
Dried milk, honey, dried meat, preserved fruit...
He kept stuffing food into Qiao'er's mouth.
While plugging the box, he comforted her, "Sister Qiao, if you are unhappy, you should eat delicious food. You will be happy after eating it."
Qiao'er, who originally had tears on her face, was now giggling because of her.
Seeing them like this, Lu Qingyao felt relieved.
Qiao'er has a good temper. She doesn't take things too seriously and doesn't like to get stuck in ruts.
He is also a carefree person.
That's good. People with this kind of personality won't be burdened by emotions.
evening.
Xiuxiu came back with a smile on her face.
He even played a riddle, "Sister, it's done. We'll see tomorrow."
Brothers Jiang Zifeng and Jiang Ziyan also came back from school.
He also brought back Princess Rong'an Fu Yuan.
After hearing what Lu Qingyao said, Princess Liang hurriedly began to check her own accounts.
After turning it over, I found that it was indeed not clean.
Although King Liang did not have many properties in Jiangzhou, most of them were gifts from others.
Even the horse farm given to Lu Qingyao.
Fortunately, King Jing is here. He will definitely get to the bottom of this matter.
Jiang Zifeng finished his meal in a few bites and was about to slip out when Jiang Miaomiao stopped him, "Big Pot, wherever you're going, I want to go too."
Jiujiu told her that after school, her elder brother and Brother Cui hid behind the rockery and whispered to each other again.
If they go, they will be committing suicide.
Jiang Zifeng paused and said with a smile, "Brother is not going anywhere. He's going to digest his food."
He thought he had gotten away with it, but unexpectedly, Jiang Ziyan said, "Brother, mother and Aunt Xiuxiu have already been to the place you want to go. If you want to know, why not ask them?"
Jiang Zifeng's body stiffened instantly, not knowing whether to leave or not.
He sat back at the table obediently.
He took the big bowl of rice that Sister Qiaoer served and started eating.
Mother would not beat him during meals, nor would she beat him in front of Princess Rong'an and Sister Qiao'er.
He still cares a lot about his reputation.
Although Princess Rong'an didn't know what he was going to do, seeing Aunt Lu's gloomy face, she quickly picked up a chicken leg for her.
Lighten the mood.
Jiang Zifeng glanced at his brother. How did this cunning guy know this? Did he eavesdrop?
And my younger sister is also a smart little girl.
The two of them are stumbling blocks on his road to success.
But he was very cautious, and Cui Xingzhou even got two good horses waiting for him.
It takes more than an hour to go from Jiangzhou to Qingyun Temple and back, so we won’t be discovered.
But now that they have exposed it, my mother must have known it.
Sure enough, his mother glared at him fiercely.
"Jiang Zifeng, stay home. Aren't you guys on holiday tomorrow? I'll take you out for a spring outing."
