Chapter 46: Forced Marriage
Xiaolan heard the news that was right, Qin Yue's mother, Mrs. Qin, and her aunt, Mrs. Li, were indeed thinking about Li Hongyu, for no other reason, Li Hongyu was the most suitable person to marry Qin Yue.
Li Hongyu, as the young master of the Li family's third room, and Qin Yue can be said to be a good match, although the Qin family is not as powerful as the Li family, but it also has its own industry, and it is also a famous family in Jiangkou County.
Besides, Li Hongyu not only defended Qin Yue's innocence in the court trial, but also saved Qin Yue's life, if there is anyone in this world who still believes that Qin Yue is innocent, then only Li Hongyu.
In addition, the current situation of the Li family's three rooms is that orphans and widows support the family business, once Qin Yue marries Li Hongyu, then the Qin family can intervene in the affairs of the Li family's three rooms in a bright and bright manner, and then annex the Li family's three rooms' property.
It is precisely because of the above three reasons that Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Li are bound to Li Hongyu, after all, Qin Yue is the young lady of the Qin family, and the two of them can't sit idly by and watch her life ruined no matter what.
To be honest, Li Renhe didn't want Li Hongyu to marry Qin Yue, in the final analysis, he was the patriarch of the Li family, and if Li Hongyu married Qin Yue, a woman whose reputation was damaged, then the Li family's face would also be damaged.
But Qin Yue is his niece, so Li Renhe can't stay out of the matter, so at the request of Mrs. Li, Li Renhe invited the clan elders, and then invited the Zhao family, Qin De, and Mrs. Qin to prepare to facilitate the relationship between Li Hongyu and Qin Yue.
The Zhao family didn't know Li Renhe's purpose, so he followed the subordinates sent by Li Renhe to the living room in the front yard of the Li family's mansion without warning.
When she walked into the door of the living room, Zhao couldn't help but be stunned, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes, she didn't expect the clan elders and Qin De and his wife to be here.
Subsequently, the Zhao family had an ominous premonition in their hearts, and it was obvious that Qin De and his wife would not appear at the Li family meeting for no reason, and it must have something to do with Li Hongyu.
After saluting Li Renhe and the clan elders, the Zhao family quietly sat on the seat of Qin De and his wife, forcibly suppressing the shock in her heart, she had now guessed that Li Renhe's purpose in calling her was definitely for Li Hongyu and Qin Yue's family affairs, and she really couldn't think of any other possibilities.
Now that the Zhao family has no good way, they can only see the trick and dismantle the move, and oppose this family business as much as possible, how could she let Li Hongyu marry Qin Yue, who had a damaged reputation, as her daughter-in-law, wouldn't this make the outside world see a joke.
In addition, the Zhao family was also worried that after Qin Yue entered the Li family, the Qin family would take the opportunity to swallow the Li family's property, and she would not do this kind of thing to lure wolves into the house.
"Brother and sister, the eldest brother called you here this time to discuss something." When Zhao sat down, Li Renhe smiled and said to her, "Yu'er is not too young, and it is time to spread the branches for the third room, speaking of which, the people in the third room are really thin." ”
"Big brother, Yu'er is now focused on the children's test, I don't want him to be distracted, let's wait for the marriage to wait until the children's test is over." Zhao smiled slightly when he heard this, and quietly rejected Li Renhe's "kindness".
"Brother and sister, you can't say that, Tong is the township test after the test, the township test is the meeting test and the palace test, Yu'er is sensitive and studious, if you add a little luck, you may not be able to get the title of the gold list, then you will have to stay in the yamen of the major ministries in the capital to sharpen, and you will stay for several years, during this period, it is not easy to get married, and Yu'er's family affairs will be far away."
At this time, Li Renhu, who was sitting at the foot of Li Renhe, opened his mouth and said to Zhao with a smile, "As the saying goes, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, let's take precautions and let Yu'er find something to add a man to the third room, and the third brother will definitely hope for this if he is alive." ”
"Second brother, you also think too highly of Yu'er, he's just a hairy boy, it's not known whether he can pass the county test this time, let alone the title of the gold list."
Zhao's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and then looked at Li Renhu with a smile, Li Renhu has always looked at Li Renhe's horse, and of course he wants to help Li Renhe speak.
"Brother and sister, you are too modest, the fourth brother's evaluation of Yu'er is very high, and the second brother believes that Yu'er will definitely be able to pass the children's test this time, gain fame, and glorify his ancestors." Li Renbo smiled and waved his hand, of course he could hear that the Zhao family was perfunctory to him, so he would not give up easily.
In fact, the reason why Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Li were in a hurry to settle the family affairs before the county test was because they were worried that Li Hongyu would gain fame through the child test, and in that case, it would be even more difficult for Qin Yue to marry Li Hongyu.
The children's examination includes the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination, and passing the hospital examination means that the merit of the talent is achieved and become a student, that is, the children's examination is passed.
"Brother and sister, there is a saying that the second brother has been holding in his heart for a long time, and he is not happy if he doesn't vomit."
Without waiting for Zhao to speak, Li Renbo said to himself, "Yu'er saved Yue'er a few years ago, although Yu'er did a great thing, but because of the breakthrough of the male and female defense, Yue'er's reputation was ruined, and now Yue'er washes her face with tears all day long, describing her increasingly haggard, which is really regrettable." ”
"Men and women don't kiss each other, since this matter was provoked by the children of our Li family, then we must give someone an explanation."
After Li Renbo's voice fell, a clan elder present said to the Zhao family with a blank face, "Otherwise, how will outsiders view our Li family?" Do you want the reputation of the Li family? ”
Zhao Shi heard that Liu Mei was immediately frowned, judging from the current situation, it is absolutely difficult to do well today's affairs, even if she does not agree, Li Renhe will use the power of the family to cross her to promote the relationship between Li Hongyu and Qin Yue, after all, Li Renhe is the patriarch and she is just a woman, and she is powerless to stop this matter.
Seeing that the Zhao family fell into silence, Li Renhu's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, he was not willing to do this, after all, this was a matter of the Li family's reputation, but since Li Renhe had already spoken, he could only act hard.
The elders of the Li family at the scene looked serious one by one, although no one had the intention of opening their mouths, but they were quite disdainful of Li Renhe's approach in their hearts, and they actually forced Li Hongyu to marry her for the sake of Qin Yue, which made the Li family's face rest? Designation will be ridiculed by outsiders.
Since Li Renhe is the patriarch, it is difficult for the clan elders to say anything, after all, Qin Yue is his own niece, and no one wants to offend Li Renhe because of this matter, so they can only remain silent, even the face of the clan elder who spoke just now looked a little embarrassed.
Qin De and his wife couldn't help but glance at each other, their faces showed a relaxed look, although the two knew that Li Renhe would inevitably be criticized by the outside world for doing this, but they had to do it for the sake of Qin Yue.
"Big brother, don't hide it, Yu'er's family affairs have been decided when Xianggong is alive, but I haven't figured out this family matter because Xianggong is in a hurry, so I haven't made a public announcement."
In the somewhat depressing atmosphere of the scene, Zhao sighed for a while and looked at Li Renhe, who was sitting in the first seat of the living room drinking tea, and bowed slightly and took out the killer weapon behind him.
After all, Li Renhai is Li Hongyu's father and Li Renhe's younger brother, the so-called dead are the greatest, since Li Renhai has already betrothed Li Hongyu, then Li Renhe can't turn a blind eye.
"Yu'er is already engaged?" Hearing this, Li Renhe, who was drinking tea, couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Zhao with some surprise, he had never heard of this matter.
"When Xianggong went to Jiangnan for the last time, he ordered Yu'er to have children's relatives, in order to surprise the family, Xianggong did not tell the identity of the other party, but mentioned this matter in the letter and sent the love token back."
Zhao nodded solemnly, "That love token is now hanging around Yu'er's neck, and the letter is at home, so I'll let someone take it." ”
"You ask the young master to ask for it, and then bring the letter written by the master." As he spoke, Zhao quietly commanded Zizhu, who was standing behind him.
Zizhu bowed and left the room quickly, which made everyone at the scene look at each other, no one thought that this kind of thing would happen.
Li Renhe's brows furrowed slightly, he was a little skeptical about the authenticity of the letter that Zhao said, after all, Li Renhai had been dead for more than ten years, and Zhao had never mentioned it.
Qin De's eyes were a little complicated, the two of them must know that the Zhao family had resistance to this family business, but the two of them had no choice, others could question Qin Yue's chastity but the Zhao family couldn't, because Li Hongyu personally exonerated Qin Yue in court last year, and the two still had intimate contact when they saved Qin Yue, which was Qin Yue's best destination.
Li Hongyu was concentrating on preparing for the exam at home, and he was sent by Zizhu to ask him to go to the Li family's compound immediately, and specially instructed him to bring the half of the Yunlong jade pendant, which surprised him.
The half of the Yunlong jade pendant was worn by Li Hongyu with a red rope and hung around his neck, so he followed the subordinate to the Li family's compound after a little contemplation, and a helpless bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth on the way.
Although the subordinate didn't know why Zizhu asked him to invite Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu guessed from the half of the Yunlong jade pendant that something happened in the Li family's compound, it must be related to his family affairs, otherwise the Zhao family would definitely not tell him to wear half of the jade dragon jade pendant, it seems that the people of the Qin family are determined to push Qin Yue to themselves.
Li Hongyu naturally knew that Qin Yue was ice clear and jade, at that time, Wang Tieniu was hiding outside the window and eavesdropping on the movements inside, and in a short period of time, Li Hongqing couldn't even take off Qin Yue's clothes, but the two had some skin to skin.
Maybe in this era, other men will care a lot about whether men and women are close or not, but Li Hongyu will not be so feudal and will not look down on Qin Yue because of this.
Li Hongyu is not worried about the Qin family who is eyeing the Li family, he is confident that he can deal with the Qin family, the key is that Qin Yue is quite urban and scheming, if she turns her elbow out to favor her mother's family, then the back house will not want to be peaceful, he doesn't want to fall into a situation where he is in a situation where he is attacked by the enemy.
