After the meal, Shen Nian really rested on the pillow, and suddenly walked in from outside with a strange look on his face, and reported: "Princess, the porter has come to report, that Qin family girl has come to visit you." ”

Miss Qin? Who is it? She doesn't remember this person? Shen Nianzhen's face was full of confusion.

"Princess, it's the girl who collided with the second young master's carriage in front of our door before." Ruhua opened his mouth to remind her: "The second young master also gave her a gift for you." ”

As soon as she said this, Shen Nianzhen remembered.

couldn't help but turn her head to look at Mama Zhou: "She came here, Bacheng is looking forward to seeing Yunqi again, right?" Second brother, will he come over today? ”

"This slave doesn't know." When Mama Zhou heard this, she immediately said: "But before, Madame had already been to the Qin family, and she also vaguely expressed our family's attitude. So he told Liao Fangru about going to Qin's house that day.

After Liao Fangru solved the matter, she went back and told the old lady.

The old lady was so angry that she almost scolded: "Yun Qi and Kanglan's marriage looks hopeful!" But there is such a-stirring stick! What if the Liao family is dissatisfied? My poor Yunqi......"

"In this way, this Qin family still refuses to give up." Shen Nianzhen immediately smiled when he heard this.

Mama Zhou said: "Princess, it is possible that they want to take this opportunity to have a relationship with the Second Prince's Mansion." ”

"I don't know when our palace is so hot." Shen Nianzhen smiled helplessly when he heard this: "Isn't the most powerful prince in the DPRK the most powerful now?" If they want to tie up, they should also go to tie up the eldest prince? How could you be willing to put such useless effort on me and the prince? ”

"Princess, you don't know yet, rumors have been boiling in Beijing recently."

When Mama Zhou heard this, she said in a very strange tone: "The eldest prince has been very disliked by His Majesty recently, and His Majesty is very distant from him!" On the contrary, our Royal Highness is very favored by His Majesty, and there are many rumors in Shangjing that His Majesty intends to appoint our Royal Highness as the crown prince! ”

"How did I not know?" Shen Nianzhen was shocked when he heard this rumor.

"Nine times out of ten, it's true." Mama Zhou smiled and said: "So, princess, there will be a lot of people who can't beat this kind of eight-pole in the future, they just want to take a share, and they also want to borrow the power of the palace, you don't have to pay attention to it at all." ”

"Are you telling me that I don't have to see this Qin girl?"

Shen Nianzhen understood at once, and she said faintly: "I'm a little curious and want to meet her." ”

"Princess, when you see her, you just give her face." Mama Zhou was a little anxious when she heard this: "If this matter is spread to the Liao family, I'm afraid people will think that you have changed your mind and want to talk about the girl of the Qin family for the second young master!" That's not good! “

"So? That's gone. Shen Nianzhen said crisply.

"Really?" This time it was Mama Zhou's turn to be surprised.

"yes." Shen Nianzhen smiled when he heard this: "I don't want to disappoint my grandmother. ”

Old Mrs. Shen hopes that Shen Yunqi can marry Liao Kanglan, how strong this desire is, it can probably be regarded as the last wish of Old Lady Shen's life, Shen Nian really doesn't want to disappoint her old man.

She doesn't want anything to damage this family business.

Maybe the prince can beg His Majesty to settle this family affair in advance? Shen Nian was really thoughtful.

But before that, she had to be sure of Liao Kanglan's own meaning, as long as she was willing to marry Yun Qi, then everything was easy to say, she would naturally give her all the scenery.

If Liao Kanglan didn't want Yun Qi and liked other young people, Shen Nianzhen also blessed her and sent her a generous gift.

Soon, Mama Zhou went out and sent the girl from the Qin family away.

Qin Tong'er was just here to try her luck, and she knew that the second princess who was high above would not be able to come to see her at all.

Now that she learns this result, she is not very sad.

"Let's go." Qin Tong'er lowered her head, gathered her sleeves, turned around and let the maid help her down the steps, ready to take the carriage home.

The congratulatory gift that was brought back naturally was brought back intact.

But at this moment, a luxurious carriage drove quickly across the street, and the carriage stopped in front of the Erwang Mansion, and as soon as it stopped, the curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside, and two young and beautiful girls wearing purple skirts came, which were the two sisters Liao Yulan and Liao Kanglan.

They brought congratulatory gifts, laughed like silver bells, got out of the carriage and walked straight towards the gate of the Second King's Mansion, they were so elated.

Suddenly, Liao Yulan stopped, turned her head to look at Qin Tong'er, and pulled her sister to stop, signaling her to go and see it too.

When Liao Kanglan saw Qin Tong'er, she couldn't help but be slightly taken aback: "Why are you here?" ”

As soon as the words came out, she realized that something was wrong, they didn't know Qin Tong'er, and asked her what she was doing.

"Sister, let's go, it's too late for Xiao Shizi to fall asleep, and we have nothing to play." Liao Kanglan immediately retracted her gaze and pulled her sister into the gate of the palace, the two of them didn't even need to be notified when they came, and the door of the second palace was naturally released.

Qin Tong'er looked at the two sisters with good eyes, passing in front of her like a gust of wind, and then drifted into the majestic and solemn gate, and soon the heavy door creaked and closed again, blocking all eyes outside.

But Liao Kanglan's silver bell-like laughter can still be faintly heard.

Qin Tong'er couldn't help but feel stunned.

"Miss, let's go." Her maid couldn't bear to say on the side.

They were first politely refused to visit by the people of the palace, and then they were compared to the Liao family sisters, this blow, I am afraid that the young lady will be depressed for a long time.

Qin Tong'er didn't leave, she stared at the gate of the palace for a long time with her eyes faint, and then turned to leave.

But when she left, the gloom in her eyes was thick and terrifying.

The sisters of the Liao family entered the palace and saw Shen Nianzhen before they knew that Qin Tong'er had just come to see Shen Nianzhen and was refused.

"Why are they embarrassed to lick their faces?"

Liao Kanglan was very speechless: "I don't know each other, I don't have any contact, she just has a little intersection with the second young master, how can she come to the door with a cheeky face?" ”

Shen Nianzhen looked at her with a smile, and didn't make an evaluation, only stretched out his hand and pushed the plate in front of him: "This is a new imperial dining room dim sum in the palace, it tastes good, you can taste it." ”

"Ah, princess, you can have a snack?" Liao Kanglan looked surprised, "I heard my grandmother say that this woman can only eat very light things when she is confined, and she also has to drink more soup, soup, water, things like dim sum, and spicy and greasy things are not edible!" ”

Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but pause when she took the dim sum and handed it to her mouth, she was a little surprised: "There is still this kind of restriction? I can eat everything for three meals a day, but my own diet itself is not so greasy and spicy. ”

"Maybe it's because you're too weak and have a bad appetite, so they won't restrict your diet so much." Liao Yulan glanced at her sister and blamed her for saying the wrong thing: "Princess, don't take it to heart, my sister is unintentional." ”

"Sister Conlan is straightforward and fast-talking, and she didn't say anything wrong, why should I blame?" Shen Nianzhen glanced at Liao Kanglan with a smile, and asked with a smile: "When you talked about Qin Tong'er just now, you were so angry, could it be that you were jealous?" ”

"Who! Who is jealous! Not at all! ”

When Liao Kanglan heard this, her pretty face suddenly turned red, as if she was stained red with blood, and she hurriedly retorted: "Besides, Shen Yunqi has nothing to do with me!" Why should I eat his vinegar! ”

"Don't confess yourself, do you?" Shen Nianzhen smiled when he heard this: "I didn't say Yunqi just now?" Why did you get seated? ”

"Princess!" Liao Kanglan's face was flushed with shame, and she couldn't help but say, "If you do this again, I'll leave!" Never visit you again! ”

"Okay, don't be angry." Shen Nianzhen immediately restrained his teasing expression, and said, "I told you the 21st Scripture, do you like my second brother or not?" Can you catch her? ”

"What, what......" Liao Kanglan and Liao Yulan didn't expect Shen Nianzhen to ask so directly, they were both stunned.

"I mean, if you like him, give me a good word, and our prince will go to your majesty and ask for a holy decree for you." Shen Nianzhen said: "If you really don't like him and like others, I will wish you all the best, and ask for marriage for you." ”

"This ...... Is that what Shen Yunqi meant? Liao Kanglan asked in a daze.

"That's what I meant."

Shen Nianzhen looked at her, sighed slightly, held her hand and said: "Sister Kanglan, I like you very much, and I hope you can be my relative, if you marry my brother, I dare not guarantee anything else, but after he marries you, he will not take concubines, he will not touch flowers and grass, he will not beat people, he will not be idle, he will not be at home every day, he will wander outside every day, there is me, the old lady, and his mother, so many people look at him, he just wants to make trouble, and it is impossible?" If you marry into another high-ranking family, what will your life be like after marriage, but we will not be able to stretch out such a long hand. “

"As long as you are here, you can ensure that you live comfortably for the rest of your life."

This is all that Shen Nianzhen can give Liao Kanglan.

This is also the only capital that Shen Yunqi can climb to the Liao family. 、

Now, she has put all of this in front of Liao Kanglan, and if she wants to, then everyone will be happy.

If she is unwilling, although Shen Nianzhen has regrets, she will definitely not force her.

After hearing these words, all the sisters of the Liao family fell silent for a long time.

Liao Yulan looked at Liao Kanglan, then at Shen Nianzhen, and sat silently on the sidelines.

This is my sister's marriage, since she is in charge of her own affairs, it is inconvenient for her to interfere.

"Sister Nianzhen, in your heart, is it suitable, and comfort is the first, as for love or something...... Aren't they heavy? Liao Kanglan asked a little confused: "I'm sorry, I call you that, but at this moment, I want to call you sister." ”

"It's okay, you can call it that." Shen Nianzhen immediately smiled when he heard this: "I won't mind." ”

"I think love is the main reason for getting married." Liao Kanglan said.

"Love is important, but it's not important." Shen Nianzhen looked at her and said: "But it's not as important as the person you want to marry, and his family is important, no matter how sincere love is, it will be gone in a life of chicken feathers, but in this era, it is easy to get married, and it is difficult to leave, if you want to live a comfortable life, this person's family, as well as parents and elders, are very important." ”

"Sister, are you coming to this conclusion because of Concubine Qi?" Liao Kanglan suddenly realized when she heard the words, and she felt a relative: "You and the second prince are a match made in heaven, you are talented and beautiful, and you are the most matched, but how many demons have Concubine Qi made in the past two years!" If she had been a good person, my sister wouldn't be so tired now. ”

"Tired is definitely tired." Shen Nianzhen smiled faintly when he heard this, and then said quietly: "At least the prince is still on my side, the two sons of the two princes you discussed the marriage before, Zhao Gongzi and Liu Gongzi, I have specially inquired, one of them listens to his mother in everything, and he is a very rare filial son, and the other is that his mother is very domineering and skillful." ”

"What else?" Liao Kanglan paused when she saw Shen Nianzhen say this, so she asked curiously.

"Conlan, that's all I have to say." Shen Nianzhen looked at her and said faintly: "Think about it, these two sons, one will always listen to his mother, which means that you must listen to your mother-in-law when you marry, otherwise there will be a big war between husband and wife, and the other mother-in-law is like a mountain, pressing on top of your head...... Have you ever thought about how you can live your life for decades after you get married? ”

"Yes, what young people pursue is love, love and love, but marriage is not like this, they know whether they are warm or cold." Speaking of this, she paused, looked at Liao Kanglan with a smile, and said, "And I guess, you don't have a little affection for Yun Qi, don't you?" “

Saying this, Liao Kanglan's face was already normal, but she couldn't help but blush.

Shen Nianzhen looked at her expression, and basically determined in his heart that this family business could be done.

Maybe it won't be long before she can go back to drink the wedding wine of these two people with her child.

As for Qin Tong'er, none of them mentioned it.

After sending these two girls away, Shen Nianzhen glanced at Mama Zhou, who was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Now, Mama can go back and tell Grandma to make her old man feel at ease, and send someone to Liao's house tomorrow to propose marriage." ”

"Yes, princess, the slave understands!" Mama Zhou was so happy that she thanked Shen Nianzhen for her kindness, and then left in a hurry to go back to Shen's house.

Since Shen Nianzhen gave birth to a child, she has eaten and lived here, and she has not gone back to accompany the old lady for several days, Mama Zhou still misses her in her heart, she plans to go back and tell the old lady the news, and then come back.

However, in just one day, rumors suddenly broke out in Beijing, saying that Shen Yunqi originally met Qin Tong'er of the Qin family on the street, fell in love at first sight, and made a heartfelt mutual agreement, but unexpectedly he was intercepted by the Liao family of Cheng'an Bo Mansion.

Such gossip soon spread to Shen Nianzhen's ears, and she was taken aback: "Who is this person beating upside down?" Obviously the truth of the matter is not like this! ”

"Princess, who else! Naturally, it's the Qin family! Ruhua said indignantly: "Who is it good for such gossip to spread?" It's just them! These nobles in Beijing, who knows who the Qin family is! can actually have something to do with the Shen family! Aren't you going to inquire? ”

"The most important thing is that Yun Qi's marriage has changed."

Shen Nianzhen restrained his smile and said a little speechlessly: "This news will soon be known to the Liao family, even if they intended to marry our Shen family before, but if something like this happens, I am afraid that they will have to dispel their thoughts." ”

"In this way, the purpose of the people behind it is to disgust the Liao family! It's just to keep the Liao family from marrying us! Picturesque was very angry when she heard this.

Shen Nianzhen was also very angry, but what was the use of being angry at this time, she immediately called Dongchen and asked him to inquire about the Liao family's attitude towards this matter.

"Princess, the old lady has already gone to Liao's house, and it is said that she is proposing." Dongchen Road.

"What? The old lady has gone? Shen Nianzhen was extremely surprised when he heard this.

"Princess, isn't this a bad thing?" Picturesque said worriedly: "If the Liao family hears the rumors and is very angry, wouldn't it be ...... for the old lady to come to the door?"

"No, it won't." Shen Nianzhen immediately comforted her: "Don't worry, grandmother is not the kind of reckless person. ”

Having said that, she was still a little worried in her heart.

The Qin family.

When Mrs. Qin learned of the rumors outside, she immediately called Qin Tong'er to her and stared at her without saying a word.

Qin Tong'er was horrified by the look, and couldn't help but speak: "Grandmother, you called your granddaughter here, what are your orders?" ”

"Who gave you permission to take matters into your own hands and spread rumors outside? You know you do! Just pull our family into the water! I'm afraid that I will be targeted by several forces in Beijing! ”

"Grandmother! The granddaughter is not reconciled! Qin Tong'er gritted her teeth when she heard this: "You said it!" As long as the Liao family doesn't want this family business, it won't work! The granddaughter did what you said! ”

"I didn't let you spread gossip!"

"Only in this way can the Liao family feel disgusted and not marry the Shen family!" Qin Tong'er said excitedly: "Grandmother, this is our last chance!" ”

"You're so naïve." Old Mrs. Qin looked at her, kept shaking her head and sighing: "These nobles in Beijing are not so easy to get along with, they can only be good friends, not evil, if you make such a show now, the second princess will naturally guess about you, the second prince is now in the palace to cover the sky with one hand, and it is hot, as long as he says a word, our Shen family will quietly disappear in this Shangjing, and even a small splash will not stir up." ”

"What can the second prince do? There's also the emperor on it! And the eldest prince! You can't let him do whatever he wants, can you? Our Qin family is small, but we can't just trample to death like ants! Qin Tong'er said unconvinced: "What's more, now that this matter is known to the whole world, everyone knows that Shen Yunqi and I are in love with each other, and we will make a lifelong commitment to each other!" If our family disappears on the cusp of this storm, everyone in the world will know that it was the second prince who killed and killed him! Isn't he afraid of being reviled by the people? ”

"So, you're now threatening the Shen family to marry you?" Old Madam Qin really didn't expect her to be so obsessed, and sighed deeply when she heard this.

"Yes!" Qin Tong'er raised her chin slightly, looked at her and said with some sadness and indignation: "That day, at the gate of the palace, I looked at the guard and rejected me, saying that the princess didn't want to see me, but in the blink of an eye, the girl from the Liao family went in without passing the word!" It's just so unfair......"

"You know what." Mrs. Qin never thought that her granddaughter would be resentful in this matter, and she said helplessly when she heard this: "Before the second princess got married, she had a handkerchief with the girls of the Liao family, and the relationship was very good!" When they go, they don't need to spread the word! What are you? Has the princess seen you? Why does she want to see you?

Qin Tong'er has known these facts for a long time.

But she was not reconciled.

Why did Liao Kanglan and Shen Nianzhen know each other, so they could marry into the Shen family? She can too!

"You wait." Old Mrs. Qin is really too tired, and she doesn't want to talk to this stubborn granddaughter anymore, anyway, what she says is useless: "In these two days, the relationship between the Shen family and the Liao family will have a result, and when the time comes, it will be up to you to achieve what you want, or whether it will be empty after all." ”

After speaking, he asked someone to take Qin Tong'er down and take care of her.

"The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate!" Old Lady Qin went back to the inner room and muttered to herself in the small Buddha hall in the room, worried.

Here, Mrs. Shen has already brought heavy gifts, led the matchmaker, and personally came to Liao's house.

came to propose marriage to Liao Kanglan on behalf of Shen Yunqi.

Mrs. Liao and Mrs. Liao met her, and as soon as they met, they said in a strange way: "Old Mrs. Shen, why did you come to the door?" I heard that you Yunqi have already searched for another excellent family business? Congratulations! ”

"Old sister, when you say this, it's really embarrassing." Old Lady Shen let out a long sigh when she heard this, and held Old Lady Liao's hand and said helplessly: "Those are all nothing!" We Yunqi have always been clean and self-conscious! In the past two years, I haven't even had a personal maid around, let alone pulling and pulling with other boudoir women! It was the girl of the Qin family who wanted to climb the high branches and deliberately slandered it! ”

"Humph! Flies do not bite seamless eggs. Old Lady Liao snorted angrily and said: "I won't say much about the ridiculous things in the early years of your Yunqi, I have also heard of the girl of the Qin family, she is a young lady with clear eyebrows and good rules, but her background is a little lower, if it weren't for your Yunqi teasing, she could be like this?" I see, old sister, don't be picky, as long as Yun Qi agrees, settle this family business! “

"But the point is that Yun Qi doesn't agree!"

Old Mrs. Shen spread her hands helplessly when she heard this, and said, "The only thing he likes in his heart is your Kanglan, and he told me everything!" As for the girl of the Qin family, this is really wronged! We are all people with heads and faces, and we don't want to do things absolutely, before my daughter-in-law, who was your daughter, came to the door and politely reminded them, don't be delusional, but who would have thought that these Qin family members are shameless, and they actually deliberately distort the facts! Upside down! ”

Old Lady Shen almost got angry.

"Really?" When Mrs. Liao heard this, she was neither salty nor light.

What the truth is, she already knows it clearly through the words brought by her daughter, but she is very angry in her heart!

Why did Shen Yunqi collide with the girl of the Qin family at the door of Shen's house! It's just a car crash, and I was actually targeted by other girls! And then I came up with all this gossip.

Now that this matter is boiling, even if their family wants to marry the Shen family, they can't.

I have to find another one.

It's not that no one wants the girls in their family except for the Shen family.

"Old sister, my wife is naturally happy that you have come to visit me, but if you want to say something else, please forgive me for not being able to do anything." Mrs. Liao personally handed a cup of tea to Mrs. Shen, and said with a little apology: "In order to avoid hurting the harmony of the two families, don't mention the marriage, okay?" “

How can that be! Old Mrs. Shen came here today just for Shen Yunqi's marriage!

Otherwise, why would she run this trip with her old bones?

"Old sister, what you said is not human." Mrs. Shen said helplessly and a little angrily: "Yun Qi and Kang Lan's marriage, I hope you think about it again, Yun Qi is a good child, now he has changed his ways, and his future is promising, your family Kang Lan married in, there are no parents and elders, no rogue relatives, and after I am a hundred years old, Fang Ru can still take care of their little couple, this is the best family matter!" If you know the roots, why should you marry your granddaughter to someone who doesn't know the depths? ”

"Who doesn't know the depths? Co-authored all of Shangjing, only your Shen family is good! Mrs. Liao didn't give an inch, and was a little angry: "Our Kanglan looks handsome, has a generous temperament, and there are many people in Beijing who want to marry her back, I just need to keep my eyes open, and look at it, no matter what, I can make my granddaughter carefree for the rest of her life, if I really marry your Shen family, I haven't discussed marriage yet, so I will cause a commotion first!" ”

"If you are really engaged, then you still have it?"

"Old sister." When Mrs. Shen heard her say this, she was also a little angry: "I have already explained it to you!" It's all a misunderstanding! There will always be a day when misunderstandings will be solved! Don't worry, our Shen family will definitely be able to marry you Kanglan back lively, and will not ask outsiders to say a word! “

"Then you will solve the Qin family's affairs first?" Old Lady Liao sneered.

"People like the Qin family, going to them is to give them face." Old Lady Shen snorted when she heard this, her tone was full of disgust: "Just let them wait!" I'm waiting to see my grandson get married! ”

"You won't be here to marry us Kanglan, and you're still trying to wait for them to get married, and marry that Qin girl back to be a child, right? It's really killing two birds with one stone! Double happiness is coming! Old Mrs. Liao suddenly had a whim.

"How is that possible!"

Old Mrs. Shen was very happy when she heard this, and she explained helplessly: "My wife hereby swears that the men of our Shen family will never take concubines before the age of forty!" ”

"Even if you have no children, you don't take a concubine?" Mrs. Liao's eyes lit up, and she pressed forward step by step.

"Forty childless concubines! Those who have children and daughters, and both children and grandchildren, will not take concubines for life! Old Lady Shen said angrily.

Anyway, from Shen Zhong to Shen Yunqi, the men of the Shen family actually did not take concubines.

"Is that true? Didn't you lie to us? When Mrs. Liao heard this, she was excited in her heart.

"Nature is true!" Old Mrs. Shen also let go today: "If I break my oath, let me not die well!" ”

"Good, good, good."

Mrs. Liao nodded again and again, turned to her grandmother beside her and ordered, "Go and call Kanglan, if she is willing to do this family business, my wife has no opinion." ”

She has fought for everything she can for her granddaughter.

"Yes, old lady." Mama immediately stepped back.

Soon, Liao Kanglan was brought in by her grandmother, and after entering the door, she first greeted her grandmother, and then greeted Mrs. Shen.

"Good girl, would you like our family Yunqi?"

Old Mrs. Shen looked at the delicate and beautiful girl in front of her, and her heart was excited.

"That's what you asked?" Old Mrs. Liao immediately stretched out her hand and pulled Liao Kanglan to sit beside her, patted her hand and asked her not to be nervous: "I called you here today to tell you that my grandmother's preferred candidate for your marriage is Shen Yunqi, the son of the second room of the Shen family, are you willing?"

"The granddaughter has no opinion, it's all up to the grandmother." Liao Kanglan lowered her head a little shyly.

That's what I wanted.

"Good!" Mrs. Shen was overjoyed when she heard this, and clapped her hands and asked her subordinates to invite in the gifts brought from outside, as well as the matchmaker.

"Since today's marriage has been negotiated, let's write down the marriage contract, and Geng Ti has also been exchanged, and you will change your hexagram in the province."

"At this time, our Liao family is afraid that you will change your hexagram, right?" Old Mrs. Liao laughed out loud when she heard this.

She always had some uneasiness in her heart, and this uneasiness came from what Old Lady Shen said.

Those words naturally couldn't be better, but she was afraid that Old Lady Shen would change her mind and regret it.

"Don't worry." Old Madam Shen seemed to know her doubts, and said immediately: "These words were personally sent to me by my granddaughter Nianzhen, tomorrow the second prince will enter the palace to ask His Majesty for marriage, this is a royal marriage, how dare Yun Qi make a mistake?" “

"Really?" Mrs. Liao was overjoyed when she heard this.

How many girls have the Liao family married, but none of them can be married by the emperor's personal decree, Kanglan's luck is really good!

She had no more opinions, and when the matchmaker came in, she solemnly wrote down the marriage contract, and the two families exchanged Geng posts and engagement tokens.

At this point, the dust has settled on this marriage contract, and the marriage date will be discussed after the New Year.

When Mrs. Shen was leaving, Mrs. Liao explained to her: "The Qin family, hurry up and find a way to solve it, when the girl of any family is discussing marriage, it is uncomfortable to have these rumors." ”

"I understand." Old Madam Shen nodded again and again, and said on the spot: "Don't worry, I promise that in two days, there will be no more rumors in Shangjing." “

Coming out of the gate of Liao's house, Mrs. Shen's legs were weak, and she almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the grandmothers on both sides quickly supported her.

"Old lady, are you alright?" Mama Zhou asked with concern.

"It's okay, this matter is finally over." Old Mrs. Shen waved her hand, signaled them to let go, stood up straight, and glanced at the Liao family, her eyes were full of relief: "My heart can also be put down." ”

"yes." Mama Zhou was full of emotion when she heard this: "Old lady, you have been suffering for a long time. ”

"Okay, don't say these useless words, you hurry back to the palace and take good care of Nianzhen." Old Madam Shen immediately urged: "What happened here, you can tell her when you go back, and I don't need to send someone over." ”

"Yes, old lady." Mama Zhou agreed with a smile.

……

The next day, Shen Yunqi and Liao Kanglan's marriage decree came down.

Originally, the people were still talking about it, condemning Shen Yunqi as a scumbag, but at this time, as soon as the holy decree came out, no one dared to criticize it anymore.

There are still many people who envy it.

At the same time, those people who witnessed the truth in front of the palace that day also opened their mouths one after another, explaining to the people around them that Shen Yunqi did not mean to be half attracted to the Qin family girl, but the Qin family girl was only a little injured, so she took away Shen Yunqi's valuable gifts, and forced Shen Yunqi to send her home in person, which was suspected of seducing.

Public opinion immediately turned over and began to condemn Qin Tong'er.

In the inner house of the Qin family, Qin Tong'er looked dead, stumbled in from outside, knelt in front of the old woman in the room with her eyes closed, and her face was full of remorse: "Grandmother! You save your granddaughter! ”

Old Lady Qin opened her eyes, glanced at her, and asked indifferently, "...... the Shen family and the Liao family got married?"

"Not only are they engaged, but they also asked for a holy decree to marry......" Qin Tong'er looked disappointed and jealous: "The Liao family doesn't care about those gossips at all!" Don't they look down on Shen Yunqi? Why? Why is that? The Shen family is obviously already a puddle of troubled waters, shouldn't they withdraw as soon as possible and choose a marriage for Miss Liao again? Why do you insist on marrying the Shen family? The granddaughter doesn't understand! “

"You don't understand? Okay, then I'll tell you about it. ”

Old Lady Qin looked at her slowly, and said slowly: "The turmoil you caused before really troubled the Shen family, and also made the Liao family change their minds and didn't want to marry the Shen family, but the second princess turned things around with a word, not only made the Liao family happily marry the Shen family, but also forever avoided future troubles, and cut off your chance to enter the Shen family, even if it was a concubine, do you understand?" “

Qin Tong'er's face turned pale when she heard this!

"No, the granddaughter doesn't understand ......"

"The second princess asked Mrs. Shen to tell the Liao family that the men of the Shen family can only take concubines after they are forty years old."

"What? Forty years old......" Qin Tong'er was taken aback.

"Yes, it is forty years old, and it is a wife and no children, so you can take a concubine, otherwise you will not accept a concubine for life."

Old Mrs. Qin looked at her and sighed slightly, and said with some regret: "You have a good eye, you can see that Shen Yunqi is a person who can be married with just one side, but it's a pity that not only you can see it, but other families in Shangjing are not blind, the Liao family and the Shen family are in-laws, and now they are close to each other is a beautiful conversation, the only thing they care about is Shen Yunqi's character, and now that Mrs. Shen said this, it is equivalent to blocking the road for Shen Yunqi to become bad in the future, can the Liao family be unhappy?" “

Yes, as soon as these words came out, the Liao family must have been overjoyed.

If you put yourself alone, you will be happy.

Which woman in this world doesn't want her husband to be clean and self-conscious, and only marry herself?

Qin Tong'er's face was as gray as she could not say a word.

"I told you earlier, don't be hard with the Shen family, you don't listen." Old Lady Qin sighed when she heard this, and said, "In the past, the Shen family didn't make a move, because they were lazy to worry about people like us, but now as soon as they make a move, public opinion immediately changes!" Now all of you are scolding our Qin family for not knowing what to do, your reputation has been ruined, and it will be difficult to marry from now on, no one will come to propose, so let your mother take you back to Jiangnan tomorrow and find relatives over there. “

"No!" Hearing this, Qin Tong'er suddenly raised her head, looked at her in disbelief, and said in a lost voice: "Grandmother! You're going to get me out? ”

"I had to!"

Old Lady Qin said expressionlessly: "Not only you, but your sister also has to go, at least for thirty years, it is impossible for a woman of the Qin family to marry in Shangjing, unless she is young." ”

"I'm willing to be small!" Qin Tong'er shook her head when she heard this, and cried bitterly: "As long as you can let me stay in Shangjing!" Even if I am a concubine, I am willing! ”

"It's not something you're willing to do."

Old Lady Qin was expressionless: "Have you forgotten?" Old Mrs. Shen has already said in person, the man of the Shen family can take a concubine at forty, or when the wife has nothing to do, are you sure you can wait until you are forty years old? ”

When Qin Tong'er heard this, her face was full of despair: "The Shen family doesn't give me any hope!" ”

"They're already mild, and they haven't done anything to us." Old Lady Qin closed her eyes slightly, flicked the Buddha beads in her hand, and said lightly: "It hinders the marriage of their family, and it is possible to quietly execute our family, the Shen family disdains to do this, it is just a warning on the surface, what else do you want?" ”

It's not like this, it shouldn't be like this.

Qin Tong'er kept shaking her head, she wanted to tell her grandmother that all this was impossible, but she couldn't say anything.

"If, if Shen Yunqi likes me......" she was still muttering to herself.

"Don't be sentimental, Shen Yunqi likes the five girls of the Liao family." Mrs. Qin ruthlessly punctured her illusions: "I like it very much, so I trouble my grandmother and my sister who is the princess, and do everything possible to finalize this marriage, don't you understand?" ”

Naturally, she understands everything.

But I just didn't want to.

is unwilling to work in vain, not only will he not get anything, but he will also ruin his reputation and future!

Old Mrs. Qin looked at her and sighed slightly: "Come on, take the eldest lady down, take care of it, and set off to go back to Jiangnan early tomorrow morning, and the second lady will go with her." ”

As soon as the words fell, two or three mothers-in-law rushed in from outside, picking up Qin Tong'er and taking her down.

Qin Tong'er kept struggling: "Grandmother! Grandmother! No! You let them let me go! What if I could find a reason to stay in Kamikyo? Please! “

Old Lady Qin was indifferent to her crying: "I have already given you three chances before, if you let it go, sooner or later you will have to bury the entire Qin family for you, I can't watch this happen." ”
