Chapter 168: Raising Relatives Stirs Up a Pool of Water
Before noon, there was a shocking news in the capital, almost every family heard it, some people were surprised to discuss, some people sighed, and some people were angry.
Qi Zhu was lying lazily in the boudoir, talking proudly about Yan Ruowen, and someone ran by in a hurry outside the door, and even the maid guarding the door whispered, not quiet, Qi Zhu frowned, and said impatiently,
"What's so noisy?!Something comes in and talks!"
The maid outside the door was originally passing by, but she didn't dare to avoid Qi Zhu's tone anymore, so she had to enter the door and bow her head.
"Miss Hui, just now the slave maid heard a rumor from someone outside, saying that Lord Ling and Mrs. Ling went to Yan's Mansion to propose marriage, and now the whole capital knows about it......"
Syllable!
Qi Zhu's hand shook, and the tea cup she had just picked up fell to the ground, the maid was startled, she didn't know what she had done wrong, she immediately stopped talking, and secretly glanced at Qi Zhu, even more surprised and puzzled.
Qi Zhu's face turned pale instantly, he didn't care about the tea cup that fell on the ground, his eyes were stunned at the moment, his expression of panic and disbelief flashed between his expressions, he staggered to his feet and stood up, pounced on the maid standing aside, grabbed the other party's arm and asked in a tight voice,
"What do you say?!Say it again!Who, to whom do you propose marriage?!"
The little maid only knew that her own young lady and the second young master were familiar with Ling Gongzi, and thought that she hadn't made it clear just now that she made her own young lady so excited, so she hurriedly said seriously, "Miss Hui, it's Ling Gongzi of Ling Mansion, who proposed to Miss Yan of Yan Mansion, now." Everyone in the capital knows about it!"
Syllable!
Another crunch.
Qi Zhu slapped the maid in front of him on the face, and took half a step back without standing firmly, pointing at the maid's reddened face and scolding,
"Bastard! Where are the rumors coming from spreading everywhere! Ling Gongzi is also what you can say casually! Pull me out and get out of the house!"
The maid was already blindfolded at the moment when she was slapped in the face, and when she heard the back, she panicked directly, and knelt down and cried and shouted, "Miss spare your life! The slave maid also listened to the people outside, and now the whole house knows about it, and the slave and maid are absolutely not spread nonsense, Miss!"
Qi Zhu became even more angry when he heard this, and didn't let the other party finish talking at all. His face turned blue and rushed out directly. Ai Xue hurriedly followed, who cared about the little maid who was shouting more and more miserably behind.
The faster Qi Zhu walked, the more she could hear the subordinates around her talking about proposing, but she didn't have the heart to punish these people anymore now. She was flustered. Anxious and overwhelmed. didn't even know who to hate and what to do, so he rushed towards Mrs. Qi's room. Hearing that the maid who stayed behind said that Mrs. Qi was not there, she panicked even more, turned around and rushed towards the front hall again.
Before entering the door of the front hall, Qi Zhu saw Mrs. Qi's figure, and he didn't pay attention to Qi Jingqian next to him at all, shouted Niang, and rushed over anxiously and aggrievedly, "Mother! Brother Ling really went to Yan's Mansion to propose marriage?!"
Mrs. Qi's face was not very good, and she patted Qi Zhu obviously knew the truth, Qi Zhu saw Mrs. Qi like this, her heart was even more hopeless, and she cried out in grief, "Mother-didn't you say that you would definitely let me be with Brother Ling, why is ......it like this now?"
"Presumptuous!"
Qi Jingqian scolded angrily, he couldn't listen to it anymore, especially in front of his subordinates, his daughter was so reserved, not ashamed, "As a woman, you can say such shameless words! How do you teach you to be a mother! The order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the matter of marriage, how can you say anything! Where is there still half a point of the appearance of the eldest lady!"
Qi Zhu was pulling Mrs. Qi to sob, Qi Jingqian suddenly screamed, frightened, stayed in the moment, endured tears and disagreed, the people who were originally in the room saw this, they had already retreated with their noses and noses, Qi Zhu hid behind Mrs. Qi and shook his arm fiercely.
Mrs. Qi hurriedly said, "Don't blame Zhu'er, Ling Ji, this kid is already excellent, they have been childhood sweethearts since they were children, and it is not a matter of time before they propose marriage, who knows that there is a roadblock now......"
Qi Jingqian was impatient, and reprimanded in an even worse tone, "Enough! You mother-in-law didn't persuade your daughter, but connived at her to mess around like this! Do you know how to write the word shame!"
As he spoke, Qi Jingqian pointed in the direction outside the door, and his voice changed angrily, "Even if you want to discuss marriage, it should be mentioned by the man, there is a woman like you, do you want to marry on the pole! Since you want to be a housekeeper, don't take an aunt's style every day, you are not ashamed, I am still ashamed!"
After the latter sentence was finished, it poked Mrs. Qi's heart on the tip of her heart, Mrs. Qi minded the most was her aunt's identity, she thought that she could stand so firmly, in addition to her own means, it was all based on the silent support of Master Qi, but she didn't expect that just for a Lingfu marriage, the other party actually said such a thing, which made her more uncomfortable than a slap on Mrs. Qi's face, her face was blue and white, and finally with a dead ash, she trembled and gritted her lips and gritted her teeth.
"What the master taught me is that the concubine was originally an aunt, and her lack of vision has brought shame on the master. ”
Qi Jingqian glanced at Mrs. Qi's face, and knew in his heart that what he just said was a bit heavy, after all, for so many years, the other party still managed this family in an orderly manner, although he also indulged some of it, and Yu Li was not in agreement, but he was still very relieved about Mrs. Qi's intelligence, but he didn't expect that for Qi Zhu's marriage, not only Qi Zhu was not reserved enough, but even Mrs. Qi fanned the flames.
Ling Ji is indeed good, is his daughter so inferior! The biggest stain in his life is to support his concubine to the top position, he is a businessman, and he is running for interests, but for his daughter, what he cares about the most is also reputation and bearing, Mrs. Qi not only did not come up with a calm means of governing the family, but instead took care of the small family spirit, if she was really born as a concubine, she couldn't change her habits for more than 20 years!
Qi Jingqian thought about it in his heart, but Qi Zhu was even more shocked by the conversation between Mrs. Qi and Qi Jingqian, and the disbelief in her heart was almost overflowing, Mrs. Qi was all thinking about her, where could she understand Qi Jingqian's words, she didn't put her daughter in her heart at all, stood behind Mrs. Qi and pulled her neck and said,
"What's wrong with what my mother said! My mother just wants me to marry Brother Ling, but my father is not sure that this daughter is in my heart at all, if my mother is an aunt, is that dead woman worthy of being a lady?!"
Qi Zhu was angry and shouted nonsense, not only did Mrs. Qi's face change, but even Master Qi, the most quiet person in the past, his face became extremely ugly.
