Chapter 231: Counterattack
Since the exchange of Geng posts, the old lady became kind to Qin E. Qin E knew the reason, and she didn't have a second mood except for a sneer. Thinking that there were not many days left with her, I patiently didn't say anything more.
Qin Huaiyu was worried.
For a while, she occasionally felt a cold, which caused an old illness, coughed all day long, and the affairs in the house were temporarily handed over to the second lady Qi to take care of. By the time she heard the news, Geng Ti had been changed, and it was too late to recover.
Qin Yun moved to Taichang Temple again, and Qin Huaiyu sighed when he was hiding from his own interrogation. After lying on the bed for another day, he recovered his spirit slightly, called Qin E to Yunxi Pavilion, and said sadly: "I have always refused to accept the old age, nor am I convinced, I feel that I have excellent means and courage is not confined to the boudoir, but now I am a hundred secrets and a big mistake." Your father...... I really didn't expect him to marry you to a sick man who wouldn't live long!"
It seems that what Qin Huaiyu heard was more serious than what it spread.
Qin E looked at Qin Huaiyu's much thinner face, and her heart was warm and ashamed. She knew that her aunt and grandmother were very good to her, but she didn't expect it to be so wholehearted, and she had mixed feelings for a while, and she bit the tip of her tongue before she could barely suppress her determination to spit out the truth.
It's not that this matter can't be said, but Meng Jingke has kept it a secret so far, and there must be another deep meaning. And from the beginning, it was to let her clear up the relationship, and whoever told the truth could tell it, but she couldn't tell it. Otherwise, if she and Meng Jingke are said to be taught privately, it will be even if her reputation is bad, and it will also involve Qin Yan and Qin Xuan, and it will also make Meng Jingke passive in the court.
But let my aunt and grandmother blame themselves like this, and it will never work.
Qin E's mind was racing, and she pondered: "I was also surprised that my father had set this family for me. But I don't think he should hurt me, there may be something else hidden in this. Rumors are rumors, don't pay too much attention to my aunt and grandmother. When your father returns, you will find out if you ask him. ”
Qin Huaiyu looked Qin E up and down, "I didn't expect you to be so open-minded, but I was worried a lot." ”
The corners of Qin E's mouth were bitter, and she said in her heart that Qin Huaiyu had misunderstood, and said earnestly: "Grandmother, you are worried about me and anxious about me, I know it in my heart." After my mother left, you were the best elder to me in the entire Qin Mansion. I say this to let you take care of your health, and I feel bad to see you working hard for me. ”
Qin Huaiyu's face turned around, and he said kindly: "It's good that you can understand my intentions." Instead, he looked firmly and said: "Don't worry, with me, I will never let you be wronged." Our Qin family has been proud for generations, if your father dares to sell his daughter for glory, I will be the first to refuse. Even if you die in front of him, you will never let him and your grandmother push you into the fire pit. ”
Qin E was extremely moved, she knew that Qin Huaiyu did what she said, and she made a vow to herself today and would definitely fulfill it.
She couldn't help but think that if Qin Huaiyu was there in the previous life, she might not be so miserable. I thought again, if Qin Huaiyu knew how she died in the previous life, would she come back to seek justice for her?
But then I think about it, the previous life no longer exists, so what's the point of thinking about it.
Qin E began to embroider the dowry wholeheartedly.
The old lady was in a good mood and took more care of her, and specially sent the Qi family to help her.
Qi smiled and talked about the many etiquettes of marriage, the second mother was originally a middle and high master, but she fell ill, and everything fell on Qiu Ju and Dong Mei.
Qi Shi told Qiu Ju: "Don't worry about anything else, the wedding dress should be opened quickly." Listening to the old lady, the Marquis of Jing'an is very anxious, and I am afraid that I want your young lady to come over as soon as I am filial next year. In this way, time is very tight. ”
Qiu Ju nodded like a great enemy and promised: "I just have to get things done without eating or sleeping." ”
Dongmei muttered unhappily: "I said that I would pass through the door, what did I think of our eldest lady?"
Qiu Ju frowned and gently pushed her. Qi said: "I also guess, of course, everything will have to wait for the eldest master to come back and set a date with the Jing'an Hou Mansion." ”
Dongmei was still unhappy, and since she got the news, her mood has never improved. When the Qi family left, he said unhappily to Qiu Ju: "I see that you are very happy about the eldest lady's marriage, do you want to go to the Jing'an Hou Mansion to serve people?"
Qiu Ju's eyes were red when she stabbed her, "Why do you say that about me, am I that kind of person? Don't I want the eldest lady to marry well and live well? This is determined by the master, and the eldest lady can't control it, what can I do." If you have the ability, don't be angry with me here, you go to the old man to reason with the old lady and let them change their marriage. ”
Dongmei was in a bad mood, and she couldn't help but say two sour words for a while, and regretted it when she said it. But when he heard this, his heart was angry again, and he said stubbornly: "Don't you dare? I'll go! If I can get the eldest lady out of this fire pit, I'd rather exchange my life." ”
As he spoke, he threw the curtain and went straight to the gate.
Qiu Ju hurriedly ran out when she saw it, grabbed her and said, "My aunt, it's me who is angry, can't I still say a few words, what are you angry about? You are not afraid of death, and don't bother the eldest lady!"
Qin E sent the Qi family out, and when she returned, she saw the two of them pulling and pulling in the courtyard, and asked Cui'er, "What's the matter?"
Cui'er also heard the voice and rushed over, shook her head and said, "I don't know, I saw them quarreling when I came out." ”
Qiu Ju let go of her hand, turned her back and sobbed gently. Dongmei willow eyebrows upside down, stubbornly pinning her face to the side.
Qin E frowned, and was about to open her mouth, Nianfu pulled Nianxi and stumbled in from the gate, and shouted breathlessly: "Miss, it's not good, it's not good." ”
Gray Wen stepped forward and said, "What about the rules?"
Qin E said: "What's wrong, you say it slowly." ”
Nianfu stood upright, and said quickly: "Just now, someone came to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and after the old lady saw someone, she suddenly fainted. The second lady had already rushed over and sent someone to ask the imperial doctor and the master to come back. ”
Dongmei said: "What's the matter, it's not good for you to shout." In her heart, the old lady's bad luck is a good thing.
Qiu Ju glared at her with hatred, and Dongmei turned her face away again.
Nianfu said: "I haven't finished speaking, we happened to catch crickets near the second gate, and we saw Mama Lin hurriedly running over and talking to Steward Feng." It was said that the people from the Jing'an Hou Mansion said that it was not the second son who was married to the eldest lady, and the old lady fainted when she heard it, so she asked him to hurry up and go to Taichang Temple to invite the master back. ”
There was a sudden silence in the courtyard, and Dongmei's voice sounded like oil in a wok, "What are you talking about, it's not the second son who is married to the eldest lady?"
Qiu Ju was dumbfounded: "Then, who is that?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally looked at Qin E in horror.
Qin E looked at the blue sky and felt that the last stone in her heart had also been moved.
