Chapter 260: Harmony

Quan Yingzi looked at the invitation in his hand, which said the time of the wedding banquet in the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, it's really good, my cousin is still much happier than her, not everyone is like her luck, it's not terrible to meet a scumbag, what I'm afraid of is that I met another one later, just thinking about her mood and turning gray again, I have to wonder if she has the factor of attracting scum?

Covering the invitation, she said to her mother Quan Lushi, who was sitting on the side: "Mother, you tell Cousin Long, I won't attend the first birthday banquet of their two sons, I have prepared gifts for both cousins, you can take them back later." ”

After she finished speaking, she went to the big girl on the side to get her things.

Hearing his daughter's calm voice, which didn't seem to be in a mood, Quan Lu couldn't help but feel sad and indignant again, "It's all because my mother's eyes are blind that I found you such a husband, and my mother can't wait to dig out these useless tricks." When she thought of the change in her marriage, she had spent a lot of effort to make amends, and the memories alone were as disgusting as swallowing a fly.

"Mother, everything has happened, what's the use of saying this." Quan Yingzi has never complained about the sky, and it is useless to complain anyway, "What does the Zhong family say?" ”

"Their family refused to reconcile, your mother-in-law asked you to give Zhong Yuyan a little more time, and said that you can slowly cultivate your feelings, the more I listen, the more harsh I feel, which family's aunt has to take a prostitute as a concubine not long after they got married? Not to mention that the prostitute was pregnant, there is a difference between the concubines, you are not pregnant yet, what is the matter with Mr. concubines coming out? Even if Quan Lu didn't want his daughter to leave, he couldn't swallow this breath.

That's a lowly prostitute, this Zhong Yuyan not only wants to accept her as a concubine, but also has to be a good concubine who has set up a concubine document, isn't this slapping her in the face of the family? That's right, her family has been demoted, but it won't be bullied like this.

Quan Yingzi didn't speak, just lightly plucked the incense ash in the incense burner, she didn't have much nostalgia for this husband who didn't have deep feelings, men taking concubines were common, and she wouldn't fantasize that she would be that exception, not many people could be like Princess Jing, even her cousin was hard to say.

The bad thing is that it's really strange that she met this, she actually talked about feelings with a prostitute, and said that it was true love, and she wanted to vomit when she thought of these two words, go to his mother's true love, if it's true love, then what do you agree to marry her? If the so-called touching love between the two of them is based on her pain, she will agree that there are ghosts.

"Mother, I have made up my mind, and I must leave." She said firmly, "You go back and tell the people of the Zhong family, I don't want to make a big deal out of it, let's just quietly and part, one parting and two wide, and everyone will be happy, isn't it better?" ”

Quan Lu's mood is complicated, she doesn't want her daughter to be wronged, but she doesn't want her daughter to be reconciled and divorced at a young age, in this world, it is easy for a man to marry after leaving, who will marry a woman after leaving? Licked her dry lips, which represented her inner struggle, "Sister Zi'er, this is easy to say, but it's not easy to do, you better live here first, wait for the mother to force the Zhong family's non-human thing to beat the child in the prostitute, and then carry the sedan chair and ask you ......to go back."

"Sensei said that the eight-lift bridge is the sixteen-lift sedan chair, and I won't go back." Quan Yingzi said soberly, "Mother, are you confused?" Zhong Yuyan has been in a relationship with that woman for several years, and the Zhong family has kept this matter a secret, so I don't believe that the Zhong family has not done anything to break up the two, but after so many years, does it work? If you let him beat the child of the beloved woman, I am afraid that he will hate me for the rest of his life, and he will wait for an opportunity to retaliate against me, mother, I don't want to live in fear for the rest of my life. ”

If it were someone else, she wouldn't speculate with the greatest malice, but this person was Zhong Yuyan, she wouldn't have the slightest innocence, this man was not a bad person, he was just bad to her, and the reason was simple, he didn't like her.

After the two got married, she saw his estrangement, but at that time she still thought that this was the reason why the two were not familiar, so she tried to shorten the distance between the two and play the role of a good wife, but now it is ridiculous to think about it, and she can't touch his heart at all.

Later, she happened to find the portrait he had painted of the woman in his study, and she was only curious to pick it up and look at it carefully, but before she could look closely, he came back and immediately shouted at her, and told her to put the portrait down.

She didn't know what was going on at the time, so she had to look at him with innocent eyes, "Husband, this ......"

Before she finished speaking, Zhong Yuyan snatched the portrait from her hand, "This is not something you can touch, and who will allow you to enter my study?" ”

He looked at her as if he was looking at the enemy, and she felt difficult to breathe at that time, but she didn't think deeply at that time, she just thought that he didn't like to look through his things, which was also wrong for her, "Husband, I apologize to you, it's my fault for this, I shouldn't have entered your study casually, it's just that I see that it's a good day today, and I'm thinking about someone cleaning ...... it."

"You get out of here, this is not the place for you to come." Zhong Yuyan shouted and scolded.

She was stunned and looked at him blankly, she was at fault, but he wouldn't scold her like that, right?

After a moment of confusion, his anger rose, and he stepped forward and unceremoniously pulled himself and pushed her out of the door of the study, "Don't mess with my place again in the future." ”

With a "snap", the door of the study was slammed shut by him, and she could only stand in place stupidly.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, she can't stop herself from searching for the truth, who is the woman in the portrait? She openly and secretly tested her mother-in-law Zhong Guo, but Guo Zhong's was not leaking, and even the old ancestor Zhong You, who was very satisfied with her, did not reveal a word to her.

She thought of a way to get close to the concubines, but the three concubines covered their lips and smiled, saying that they didn't know either, and the only sister-in-law also hid the secret well.

The Zhong family gave her the feeling that the whole family knew about it, but she was kept in the dark like a fool.

At that time, she didn't think things too badly, at most she thought that the woman in the portrait would be the woman Zhong Yuyan once liked, which is not surprising, it is normal for men to have a woman they like before marriage.

So she's just sad and not particularly angry.

However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and she got a word of news from the old man who was waiting for Zhong Yuyan, and then she knew that Zhong Yuyan was obsessed with a prostitute.

At that time, it felt like a bolt from the blue, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Just when she didn't think of what to do, this layer of window paper was finally pierced, the prostitute was pregnant, Zhong Yuyan brought it back and had to be accepted as a good concubine, no one persuaded him, he insisted on going his own way.

Mother-in-law Zhong Guoshi scolded and scolded, Zhong Yuyan had to say that this prostitute was innocent when he was with him, this child was definitely his, and he was his eldest son, he had to let her enter the door.

She had only been married to him for less than half a year at the time, and something like this happened, how could she be embarrassed?

Zhong Guoshi couldn't persuade his son, so he could only beat her idea, persuaded her to let the woman enter the door, and said that the birth of the eldest son would not affect her sister-in-law Yunyun.

At that time, she was really lively in the Zhong family, and people from all walks of life took turns to persuade her to be generous, and said that she would fake the identity of a good family to the prostitute, which would never affect Zhong Yuyan's reputation and future, and it would not be a big problem for her, she would still be the envy of everyone's wife.

It's really windy and not afraid to flash her tongue, what's the use of her wanting a nominal wife? Zhong Yuyan and her sex were extremely reluctant, and when the woman entered the door, she had to stand aside, and she had to raise a son for these two people, so thinking about it, she was even more unlikely to agree.

So she sternly refused.

Mother-in-law Zhong Guoshi first persuaded, and then scolded, she couldn't bear it, and went back to her parents' house to shake it all out, and her parents were so angry that her father took her eldest brother Quan Shihao and immediately found the Zhong family to be held accountable, but Zhong Yuyan didn't think he was at fault at all, he was true love, and people all over the world had to understand and support him.

There was an unpleasant scene, and my father was furious.

In order to avoid some gossip, she avoided Zhuangzi on the grounds of recuperation, and the real blame was for her to let the Zhong family know that she would never compromise.

After living here for a few months, her mind has become more and more clear, this matter has reached the point where there is no turn, okay, Zhong Yuyan wants true love, she will not stand in his way, but don't want to drag her as a backstop.

Looking at his daughter's determined expression, Quan Lu was sad again, "It's really unfavorable, why can't you meet a reliable person?" Son, do you think my mother is not sad? But what can be done, if you go back to your parents' house to live, your father and mother will not wronged you anyway when they are still there, but your father and I will die of old age one day, and then your brother and sister-in-law will be in charge, and they can tolerate you? ”

This is the reason why she does not approve of her daughter's divorce, it is too difficult to marry a good one, and it is even more difficult to fill the house as a stepwife, how many happy can there be? For the sake of her daughter, she still hopes that she can reconcile with Zhong Yuyan, of course, the pork ribs that should be given to Zhong Yuyan are also not missing.

"Mother, no one can say what will happen in the future, I only know that if I don't get along, I will be aggrieved to death for the rest of my life." Quan Yingzi sighed and said, "I haven't thought about going back to live on my brother and sister-in-law, I still have a dowry, even if I don't marry again, I won't starve to death, this mother doesn't need to be for me." ”

In the days to come, she is starting to plan little by little now, she doesn't want to live a life of walking corpses.

Quan Lu suddenly grabbed his daughter's shoulders with both hands, "Are you serious? ”

Kwon Yingzi nodded heavily, "Really." ”

Quan Lushi lowered her hands dejectedly, she originally thought that her daughter was just saying it to scare and threaten the Zhong family, who would have thought that her daughter really thought so, for a while, she didn't feel good.

Quan Yingzi saw her mother like this, her heart hurt, she reached out to hold her mother's hand, "Mother, you forgive your daughter for being unfilial, I just want to live comfortably......"

"But you're comfortable, but I'm not?" Quan Lu said sadly, "Let me watch you reconcile and leave, I can't do it for my mother, I will give the Zhong family an ultimatum, let them dispose of the evil seed in the stomach of that prostitute, and then welcome you back to the Zhong family." ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for her daughter's reaction, and immediately got up and prepared to go back to the city.

Quan Yingzi frowned, her mother's reaction was actually in her expectation, no one who was a mother would watch her daughter leave, but she really couldn't get along with Zhong Yuyan.

"Girl, my wife is back."

After a long time, the big girl beside her came to report.

She let out a soft "um".

"Girl, why is this so painful? Mrs. is also for the good of the girl, if she really separates, the girl's life is really miserable. The old lady on the side persuaded.

"You don't need to persuade me, I have made up my mind, my mother just can't accept it for a while, and after a long time, she will understand my mind." Kwon Yingzi said.

Glancing at the sky outside, it was still very early, so she changed out of her gorgeous clothes, and asked the big girl to turn out the coarse clothes.

The big girl and the old lady looked at each other helplessly, it seems that the girl really doesn't want to turn back, both of them are worried about the future of Quan Yingzi, but this master looks like a nobody.

The more she thought about it, the more she thought about it, the more she scolded, all the scourge she had brought back, and she hated Zhong Yuyan, the son-in-law who was so satisfied that she couldn't do it.

"Madam, why don't we ask Mrs. Xiangyang Hou to persuade the girl to change her mind?" The big girl on the side cautiously raised a building.

Quan Lushi waved his hand, "It's useless, Sister Long'er is just afraid that she won't be on my side, I still know a thing or two about her temperament." From beginning to end, she never turned to Lin Long for help, after all, the young girl's thoughts were different from those of her middle-aged women, "If you just take an ordinary concubine today, or you won't make things out of control, but it's a prostitute, a prostitute." "The more you talk, the more you grit your teeth.

"Madam, doesn't the slave remember that the current master mother of the Lin family is also a prostitute?" The big girl on the side thought of Lin Lu's origin, and immediately frowned and asked.

"How can it be mixed up? When Lin Ze accepted her as a concubine, he did not make a concubine document, and the aunt and grandmother in our family didn't care at all at that time, so we turned a blind eye. ”

Quan Lu's heart knows very well that Lin Ze's concubine and her son-in-law's concubine are completely different things, so Lin Lu's example is not applicable, Zhong Yuyan is in love with the prostitute, it is this that makes people feel unhappy, really let this woman enter the door, as her daughter said, there is indeed no place for her daughter.

The big girl on the side also sighed secretly, the girl looks good and has a good family background, but this life is not good.

Kwon Ryu returned home and told her husband about her daughter's decision, and Kwon Yeonsu frowned.

When the couple was at a loss, they weighed and sent someone to summon Quan Yansu to his yard.

Quan Yansu hurriedly got up, and said to his wife before leaving: "Don't listen to her first, she is too young to be rash, I will put pressure on the Zhong family to get rid of the woman and the child, and then let our daughter go back." ”

"If the Zhong family was willing, they would have killed that slut a long time ago." Quan Lu knows in his heart that most parents can't resist their children.

Zhong Guo's family estimated that he had long wanted the prostitute to have two lives, but Zhong Yuyan must have threatened him with death, which made the Zhong family soften their attitude, and turned their heads to let their daughter swallow the dead cat, how can there be such a good thing in this world?

Quan Yansu's brows can kill a fly, "Let's discuss a countermeasure about this matter later, I'll go to my father's yard first." ”

Quan Lu nodded, sent her husband out, and when she turned around, she saw her daughter-in-law Quan Bao, who had a big belly, come in, "You are heavy, you don't rest in the house, what are you doing here?" ”

"Mother-in-law, how is my aunt and grandmother?" The relationship between Quan Bao's family and Quan Yingzi is not bad, so naturally they have to care about it, and it saves her mother-in-law from complaining that she doesn't care.

Kwon Lu sighed, "What else? It's not the same as before. He took the opportunity to scold the Zhong family again.

Quan Bao's heart is not good when he hears it, although her husband also has concubines and intercourse, but he is not so disgusting as to bring back a prostitute to call her sisters.

Nowadays, there are not many accusations against the prostitutes and concubines of the children of the powerful, on the contrary, there are people who claim to be merry and talented, and have written a few poems to circulate among the Qinglou, but they can also fight to become famous, but in the end, there is still a little obstacle in the official career, unless the family background is strong and their ability is outstanding, otherwise how can they enter the eyes of today's saints?

Just like Fu Nian of the Fu family, he is definitely a romantic person, but he can also make steady progress in his career.

Just when the daughter of the Quan family sighed that Quan Yingzi's life was not good, he listened to his son's report, and he has become more and more old for more than a year, and he has lost the spirit of previous years.

Frowning for a while, he still said, "This matter is up to Sister Zi'er." ”

"Dad, what's going on?" Quan Yan hurriedly objected, the daughter of the returning family will definitely not have a good reputation, their family has produced a widow and remarried daughter, and now there is a daughter of the family, the reputation of the right family will really be ruined.

"What can't I see if I live to this age? I used to think too much, so much so that I lost the affection of people and people, and now let Sister Zi'er work hard in the Zhong family, I can't bear to be a grandfather, you don't have to worry about so many face problems, as long as you leave more gold and silver for Sister Zi when the time comes. "Weigh it up.

Quan Yansu knew that his father was lamenting the love between his ancestors and grandchildren with Lin Long, and he couldn't help but sigh when he thought about it, it was really messy at that time, and now the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion and their Huaiyin Viscount Mansion are completely separated, except for New Year's gifts and invitations for red and white ceremonies, there is not much contact.

Lin Long is almost extinct in the Quan Mansion.

"Dad, my son knows." It is impossible for him to disobey his father's decision, since he let his daughter reconcile and leave, then he must negotiate the conditions with the Zhong family now, and he must not ruin his daughter's reputation. "By the way, the two children of the Ye family have a first birthday party, will my father go?"

After weighing and stunned for a moment, "I won't go to the scenery." ”

Quan Yansu said: "Dad, I heard that the little sister is also doing well with Huo Yan now, Huo Yuan's kid is now in Beijing, and his promotion is inevitable, and now the situation of the Huo family is very different from the beginning, according to what my son sees, let the little sister come back to see you and my mother." ”

As soon as Quan Meihuan's daughter was mentioned, he weighed his face with disgust, which showed that Quan Meihuan's selfishness really broke his heart at the beginning, so he ignored her affairs, "There is no need to mention this matter again, I don't have such a selfish daughter, she is her Huo family's wife, and it has nothing to do with our Quan family." ”

Seeing his father like this, Quan Yansu knew that it was impossible for him to forgive Quan Meihuan, and his lobbyist obviously had no way to persuade him, so he had to shut up and not mention the matter.

The father and son were silent for a while, and after talking for a while, Quan Yansu said goodbye.

He didn't go straight back to his yard, but turned around to visit the bedridden Kwon Siu.

is also a stroke, Huo Zhou's survived, except for being bad at his work, he also recovered well, this Quan Xiao is obviously not so lucky, she still has a crooked face and a crooked mouth, she can't speak clearly, and her hands and feet don't obey the call, obviously her condition has deteriorated.

So in order to show filial piety, Quan Yansu, the eldest son, went over to visit one or two every day.

Quan Xiao's old eyes saw his son come in, and a glint bloomed in his eyes, and he was excited for a while, and his saliva flowed more and more, and the big maids waiting around him diligently wiped their saliva away.

"Mother." Kwon Yansu stepped forward to salute, then sat down on the round stool beside his mother and talked to her for a while.

After a while, the curtain was lifted, and the Quan Lu clan came in.

first asked about Quan Xiao's condition, and then asked her husband, "What did your father-in-law call you to say just now?" ”

Quan Yansu did not shy away from his mother, but told his father's decision.

Quan Lu was taken aback, "Father-in-law really decided to do so?" ”

"Can I still lie to you?" Quan Yansu said unhappily.

Quan Lu hasn't replied yet, but Quan Xiao, who is lying on the bed, can hear it clearly, Quan Yingzi actually made trouble and left, why didn't she know? Can this daughter have a good life after she leaves? Nervous for a moment, she struggled to get up, and made a muttered voice, unable to say a word.

Quan Yansu and Quan Lu's husband and wife were not in the mood to guess what she was going to say, they just coped with a few words, and then they waited for someone, and the two turned around and went out.

Angry, Xiao immediately fainted.

After a chicken, flying and dog jumping, Quan Xiao picked up another life, but the symptoms of stroke became more and more severe.

These things were not deliberately publicized, and the Zhong family was afraid of being burdened with an unpleasant reputation, so they still negotiated and dealt with them in a low-key manner, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and there will be a few words coming out, after all, the upper class society cannot lack such gossip every day.

On the day of the first birthday banquet, Lin Long finally heard these gossips.

Before the banquet started, she hurriedly found her husband and asked about the truth of the matter in private, others didn't know, she didn't believe that her husband wouldn't know?

Ye Xuyao looked at her and said: "These things have to be resolved by the two of them, it is difficult for the Qing officials to decide the family affairs, and we should not interfere." ”

"I know, but I feel sad when I think of my cousin Yingzi." Lin Long said a little sadly, "If I had known about this, I would have left what I was doing to Zhuangzi to accompany her." ”

Ye Xuyao hugged his wife lightly and dropped a kiss on her face, "It's useless even if you go." After a pause, "Do you remember that when we went to Zhuangzi for us that year, someone from the Zhong family came to live before, and that person was ......?"

"Zhong Yuyan." Lin Long immediately replied thoughtfully.

Suddenly, she thought of the note she found in Zhuangzi that read "I won't be lovesick in my life, I will be lovesick, and I will be lovesick", which turned out to be written by Zhong Yuyan, a bastard.
