Chapter 272: Perfect Strategy (Double Change in One)
After settling the Lin family, the Shen family and the Ma family were very grateful to the county lord of Rongzhao.
Back at the Hou Mansion, Shen stayed with Qi Miao and asked quietly.
"Miao'er, my mother remembers that you do have a red mole on your chest, which looks very much like a flower at first glance, why is it suddenly gone?" Shen asked softly, showing the doubts in his heart.
Qi Miao smiled a little shyly and replied, "Mother, I have always thought that mole is so ugly, every time I take a bath, I wash it vigorously, and I want to wipe it, but it has no effect at all."
Later, I got a medicine from Mr. Bian to remove scars and birthmarks, so I used that medicine to remove moles.
However, I regretted it after taking the medicine at the time......"
"Why do you regret it?" Shen Shi didn't doubt it, and asked curiously.
"Because it hurts so much......" Qi Miao smiled.
Shen's heart tugged, took her into his arms, and sighed, "Alas, Miao'er, you have suffered a lot of grievances and suffered a lot over the years, but fortunately you removed the mole back then, otherwise I really don't know what to do today." ”
Although the dust has settled, Shen is still scared when he thinks about it.
Yilin's temperament, if he really saw that mole on Miao'er, he would definitely not give up.
Shen is afraid, Qi Miao is not.
Fortunately, today's crisis has been removed.
And after this incident, the Lin family will definitely not end well in the Xu family.
Three days later, Qi Miao and Shen heard the news that Lin had been suspended and then committed suicide.
While they breathed a sigh of relief, they were not as ecstatic as they had imagined.
Although the Lin family is innocent, the hatred between them and the Xu family has been put on the face. According to the character of the Xu family, they will not give up.
Besides, they still have a remnant of the map yet, and it seems that an even bigger storm is coming.
Look at the overcast sky. Qi Miao's face was solemn.
Shen called softly, "Miao'er, it's cold outside, hurry up and go into the house to clean your hands and get ready for dinner." ”
Qi Miao gathered away her thoughts, looked back at her mother and smiled, "Okay." ”
She turned and went into the house. Baozhu immediately asked the little maid to bring hot water to clean her hands.
Before the water in her hands was dry, the door curtain suddenly moved, and Qi Zhengzhi's tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
Her eyes lifted slightly. Glancing at the Holy Father.
Just one glance, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
The Holy Father's complexion was extremely white, but at this moment, Ruyu's complexion was faintly blue, and the color of his lips was red. But not a healthy crimson. The color is dark, and it seems to have a touch of black.
Is he sick?
Seeing Qi Zhengzhi, the smile on Shen's face suddenly disappeared, and he asked coldly, "I don't know what Third Master Qi is doing here?" ”
After Qi Zhengzhi went out and returned home, the Shen family never let him stay overnight in Haitang Garden, and he never even dined together, and the husband and wife relationship between the two existed in name only.
Qi Zhengzhi was reluctant to leave. And the Shen family did not mention it again because Qi Miao had not yet decided on the family matter. The two of them were in a cold war.
His wife's cold attitude naturally made Qi Zhengzhi feel uncomfortable, but he was helpless, and smiled reluctantly, "Hui Niang, I haven't seen you for a few days and miss you very much, so I came to visit." ”
Qi Miao was also on the side, but he only said that he missed his wife, and he didn't mention his daughter.
With his attitude, if he wants Shen to forgive him, it is hopeless in this life.
Shen Shi was not half moved, and pointed indifferently at the door, "Haven't you seen it now, Third Master Qi, please go back, we still have to eat." ”
His wife's expulsion made Qi Zhengzhi a little embarrassed.
But now his face has thickened, not only did he not leave according to his words, but he also sat down at the table, beckoning to Shen with a smile, "I just haven't eaten yet, Hui Niang, let's go together." ”
Shen and Qi Miao lost their appetite in an instant, and their stomachs were so full.
"Miao'er, let's go." Shen took Qi Miao's hand and walked out, she is now more and more disgusted with Qi Zhengzhi, let alone eating together, it is unappetizing to look at it a few more times.
She was getting more and more confused, how could she like him back then?
Although Qi Zhengzhi was mentally prepared, his wife's ruthlessness still made him sad.
He dared to lose the mood to eat, sighed, and called, "Hui Niang, please stay, I have something very important to discuss with you." ”
"What?" Only then did Shen turn around and stay.
Qi Miao said, "Mother, then you speak, I'll go back to Mingyue Pavilion first." ”
Without waiting for Shen to speak, Qi Zhengzhi waved his hand, "No, you also stay, this matter has something to do with you." ”
What does the Holy Father want to say?
Is he going to complain about the Xu family?
If he really did this, his mother would definitely cut him with a sword.
Qi Miao's brows furrowed slightly.
The people who served were all sent out by the Shen family, and there was only a family of three in the house.
"Say it." Shen nodded his chin in alignment.
Qi Zhengzhi didn't bend around and said directly, "Hui Niang, do you know that the Ninth Prince asked the Holy Lord for marriage?" ”
"What does the Ninth Prince's proposal for marriage have to do with us?" This sentence is not special to Shen, but it is a little inexplicable, thinking that he has nothing to say.
The Holy Father won't say this well, could it be that Ji Mo really went to ask the Holy God for marriage?
At the tea and dinner by the lake that night, every word Ji Mo said was clear in his ears.
Qi Miao's heart was beating non-stop, and her cheeks couldn't help but heat up.
Qi Zhengzhi glanced at Qi Miao, looked at Shen and said, "Because the person he proposed to marry is Miao'er." ”
"Is it Miao'er? How is this possible? Shen was shocked, and looked at her daughter with wide eyes, and then at her husband, thinking that it was a great joke.
But the joke wasn't funny at all.
Shen had no bad impression of Ji Mo, and was grateful that he had helped Qi Miao, and admitted that he was strong and could definitely protect Qi Miao from being bullied and harmed.
But because he was too powerful, she didn't want Qi Miao to marry him.
A man who is too strong is difficult to control, and her mind is too difficult to figure out, she doesn't want her daughter to be pinched in the palm of her hand for the rest of her life, and she is powerless to resist if she is rounded and flattened by others.
There was also the last June 6 with the princess of Jin to enjoy the lotus, and the princess of Jin was yin and yang. Qi Miao's attitude is not good, and the Shen family thinks that Princess Jin must be an extremely difficult person to get along with, and the Ji family's daughter-in-law is difficult to be. She doesn't want her daughter to be wronged.
Therefore, Ji Mo is not the ideal son-in-law in her heart.
But what surprised her even more was that Ji Mo really thought about Qi Miao, and she didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
It stands to reason that her daughter is loved and liked, which shows that her daughter is excellent and outstanding, and she will be proud and happy as a mother, but she is liked by Ji Mo, and the Shen family is really not happy.
"Alas!" Qi Zhengzhi let out a long sigh and said heavily. "Hui Niang, I also hope this thing is fake, but it is true.
But fortunately, Princess Jin disagreed. Temporarily stopped the holy decree, otherwise the holy decree would have arrived in our Hou Mansion long ago. ”
Look, I guessed it, Princess Jin didn't agree to this family business. If Miao'er really married. I don't know how many grievances I have to suffer?
Shen was even more anxious, and his heart was about to break.
No, this family affair can't be done, and we must find a way to make the Holy One change his mind.
The Shen family was even a little grateful to Princess Jin, but fortunately the holy decree was stopped by her, so she had the opportunity to think of a way, otherwise the holy decree would be powerless to return to the sky.
"So what do you say now?" Shen asked Qi Zhengzhi.
Qi Zheng hurriedly comforted. "Hui Niang, don't worry, as long as Princess Jin doesn't agree. The Holy One will not give a holy decree. ”
Shen Shi also sighed after her, she suddenly looked at Qi Miao, and wanted to ask Ji Mo why he suddenly came to this trick.
But Qi Zhengzhi was in front of her, and she swallowed the words back.
Qi Miao kept her head down and didn't speak, she seemed calm on the surface, but her heart was already turbulent.
Shen said, "But this matter always feels very hanging, in case the Ninth Prince convinces Princess Jin, or the Ninth Prince has to go his own way, once the holy decree is issued, it will ......."
Qi Zhengzhi nodded immediately, "Hui Niang, you are right, this is what I am worried about, so I told you about this matter, we must think of a foolproof strategy, so that this holy decree will never reach our Hou Mansion." ”
"Foolproof?" Shen's brows furrowed very tightly.
Unless Miao'er is asked to get married quickly, in this way, the saint will not make another decree.
But it is not easy to find a suitable candidate in a short period of time.
Since she knew last year that Taishi Xu went to ask the Holy Lord to marry Xu Che, she and Mother Yun have privately searched for a good man with both ability and political integrity in Beijing, but to no avail.
Qi Zhengzhi said, "Hui Niang, this perfect strategy is actually simple, that is, let's hurry up and set a family affair for Miao'er, so that whether Princess Jin agrees to this family affair or not, it has nothing to do with us." ”
"It's very difficult." Shen shook his head.
"It's not hard." Qi Zhengzhi waved his hand and said, "Hui Niang, on the way home, I have thought of a person, Wang Fanggongzi, the son of Lord Wang, the squire of the Ministry of Works, is dignified, humble and polite......"
"No, no, I have seen that Fang Gongzi, although he has no notoriety, he is too cowardly, he speaks like a girl, he has no masculinity, how can he protect Miao'er in the future." Before he could finish speaking, Shen interrupted and shook his head in denial.
Qi Zhengzhi was silent for a while.
He had to admit that what his wife said also made sense.
After thinking about it, he said again, "By the way, why did I forget Li Qingyuan Li Gongzi, Hui Niang, you and Mrs. Li are sisters, Li Gongzi can be said to have both ability and political integrity, he should be a good match, right?" ”
At the mention of Li Qingyuan, a touch of regret slipped in Shen's eyes, and he sighed softly, "Alas, Gongzi Li is indeed very good, but Mrs. Li has long liked her niece Wan'er as her daughter-in-law, I can't do that kind of thing." ”
In order to marry Qi Miao, it was rare for the couple to chat for a long time.
Qi Miao was completely ignored by them, and sat silently and listened.
However, several candidates were mentioned, but in the end they were all rejected for one reason or another.
While speaking, Qi Zhengzhi covered his mouth and yawned several times, looking sleepy.
Shen was displeased and asked him to go back to Weizhai to rest, but he insisted on not returning.
But in the end, Qi Zhengzhi's yawning snot and tears came out, and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he had to get up and leave.
Before leaving, he also pointed at Qi Miao and said, "I warned you to stay away from the Nine Princes before, but if you don't listen, otherwise how can you make your mother worry about you."
I'll tell you again today, the daughter-in-law of the Ji family is not good, the kind of person like the Nine Kings is not a good match, and marrying him will only regret it for the rest of your life......"
Originally, Qi Miao was still very annoyed by Ji Mo's proposal to give marriage, but now that she heard the Holy Father belittle Ji Mo, she was very dissatisfied.
No matter what kind of person Ji Mo is in the eyes of others, and whether he is sincere to her or not, he has really helped her and cared about her.
When she needed help the most, it was he who came forward to help her regardless of offending others and saved her from danger, but what did the man in front of her, who claimed to be her father, do for her?
What else could he do but scold her and blame her?
Anyone is qualified to say that Ji Mo is not, only he can't have it, he is not worthy!
Qi Miao stood up straight, retorted with a stiff face, "Father, what is a good person?" Like you, father?
Father, if you don't know the Nine Princes, don't make judgments there. ”
There was more or less sarcasm in his tone.
"Qi Miao, I'm your father, how can you speak to me in such a tone? I'm ...... for your good" Qi Miao's success angered Qi Zhengzhi.
"Qi Zhengzhi, you're enough! Get lost! Without waiting for Qi Miao to refute, Shen couldn't bear to yell at Qi Zheng, pushed him out of the room, and closed the door tightly.
Qi Miao pursed her lips and sighed silently.
Shen took her into his arms and said softly, "Don't be sad, Miao'er, some of his words are really unpleasant, but there is one sentence that is true, the daughter-in-law of the Ji family is really not good."
Of course, the Nine Princes are not as unbearable as your father said, in all fairness, he is an extremely outstanding good man, and he can definitely protect you from being bullied.
Alas, since I saw Princess Jin last time, I can feel that she is not easy to get along with, my mother does not want to see you wronged, and my mother hopes that you can live an ordinary and stable life. ”
Qi Miao nodded lightly, "Mother, I know, in fact, I never thought of being the daughter-in-law of the Ji family......"
In the previous century, Mo had never married a wife, I don't know if he has anything to do with Princess Jin?
Princess Jin is indeed not good.
Qi Miao thought to himself.
The mother and daughter had their own thoughts and worries, and Ji Mo over there was also full of anger.
Originally, it was difficult for her mother to persuade her, but Wen Wan, who had been missing for a few years, suddenly returned.
Seeing Wen Wan, Princess Jin, who was still looking for death a moment ago, was overjoyed, stepped forward and hugged her tightly, and said with tears in her eyes, "Wan'er, you ruthless girl, how can you go for a few years, do you know how much I miss you all these years." ”
Wen Wan also said with tears in her eyes, "Wan'er also misses her mother very much, and she always remembers the promise she made to her mother back then, and Wan'er is back......"
Ji Mo looked at the two of them coldly and didn't say a word.
Princess Jin and Wen Wan hugged each other and cried for a while, and their emotions slowly calmed down.
"Xiao Jiu, you and Wan'er haven't seen each other for many years, there must be a lot to say, I'll go and tell the kitchen to cook more of Wan'er's favorite dishes today, we have to wash the dust for Wan'er, you talk." Princess Jin looked at Ji Mo and said happily.
"Mother, I have nothing to say." Ji Mo had a cold face and walked away, not even giving Wen Wan a look.
Looking at Ji Mo's departing back, Wen Wan's lips clenched, and the tears that had been stopped burst out of her eyes again.
She looked at Princess Jin and muttered in a low voice, "Mother, it seems that Wan'er shouldn't come back, Brother Mo doesn't know Wan'er anymore." ”
Seeing her aggrieved appearance, Princess Jin was distressed, and hurriedly hugged her and comforted, "Wan'er, don't cry, you misunderstood, your brother Mo is complaining that you haven't returned for many years, he has been thinking about you every day all these years, and he has never let go of your ...... in his heart."
"Really?" Wen Wan looked at Princess Jin with teary eyes and asked pitifully.
Princess Jin hurriedly nodded.
No, I have to talk to Xiao Jiu about it, but I can't hurt Wan'er's heart.
She secretly made up her mind.
And Ji Mo was calmly waiting for Princess Jin to arrive. (To be continued.) )
