"Mother, the marriage of the fourth lady was personally decided by the old lady and the Pei family at the beginning, and now it will not be too much to say that the replacement will be a little too much, after all, it is the second master who has the life-saving grace of the old lady of the Pei family, and the Pei family will agree to this marriage", the eldest lady said at the right time, and the eldest lady in the second room also nodded, agreeing with her words.

"What's the matter, now the Pei family has personally come to the door to withdraw from the marriage, and it seems that they are going to regret the marriage made by the two families, in this case, if the third lady who is famous in Kyoto is hired to him, if his family destroys the faith again, it is his family is wrong, and there will be no more people outside who say that our Li family took advantage of his Pei family, and forced the children out of the concubine to the son-in-law of others, and the second master, the niece is also a 'daughter', what does he have to worry about", the old lady said with a calculating face.

The eldest lady touched a handful of sleeves, smiled and did not make any more noise, now the old lady has obviously made up her mind, if she says too much, she will be disliked, in terms of dealing with the world, the eldest lady has been in charge for many years, naturally has some of her own experience, when to open her mouth and when to shut up, she has just right.

"Qingyan, what do you mean, you have to think clearly yourself, you can't marry into the Pei family, let your third sister still have a "favor", grandmother will naturally help you in the future", the old lady said to Qingyan emotionally, and handed her a look that you want to know.

The Pei family's marriage, she originally planned to want it, but she couldn't get used to the behavior of the old lady and the third lady slapping people's faces in one go.

Her apricot eyes were round, and there was a light shining inside, with a little sadness, but she still smiled lightly, and said in a soft voice: "Grandmother, this marriage will be given to the third sister, as for the father and mother, I will tell them", seeing that the old lady nodded with satisfaction, as if appreciating her knowledge, she said: "Then grandmother can promise her granddaughter one thing?"

As soon as her voice fell, the old lady's brows trembled, and she immediately said with a calm face: "Let's hear it."

Qingyan bent down and said: "Please grandmother promise her granddaughter that her granddaughter's marriage will be decided by herself in the future, and no one can force me to marry."

There was silence in the room!

It seems that I didn't expect the fourth lady, who has always been weak and easy to bully, to say such a thing.

The old lady was also stunned for a while, and said in her heart: Since she herself rejected her kindness, she would save worry, anyway, she didn't want to care about the children of the concubine, if she agreed to her, where could she tell her a good family matter by virtue of her father's identity.

"Grandmother promised you that she would settle your uncle and they would not interfere in your family affairs," the old lady sighed, with a look of ignorance that you were so ignorant.

Qingyan's tense body loosened suddenly, and she was really worried that the old lady would not agree, after all, a large part of the prosperity of the scholar clan depended on marriage, and she wanted the autonomy of marriage into her own hands, so there was one less chance of marriage for the family.

After agreeing on this matter, the old lady was also tired, leaned on the pillow behind her and closed her eyes, led by the eldest lady, and everyone got up one after another to pay their respects.

Before Qingyan left, she glanced back, only the third lady was still by the old lady's side, the grandparents and grandchildren were talking and laughing, she slightly hooked the corners of her lower lip, and crossed the threshold with a relaxed face.

In the main courtyard, all the people left, but the eldest lady of the second room stopped in the corridor as if waiting for her, saw her come out, and greeted her with an arrow, took her hand to the side door of the west ear room, and said as she walked: "You child, why didn't you discuss with your father and mother and let the marriage out, the Pei family is rich, it's a pity."

Qingyan lowered her eyebrows, and said softly: "Grandmother said that the Pei family is going to withdraw from the family, even if I don't let it, I still can't get married."

Looking at the child who looked a little pitiful, the eldest lady sighed and said: "The marriage set by the two patriarchs, where can they say that they will retreat, your grandmother ......", she was silent, and there were some things that she couldn't say blatantly as a lady in the second room.

Qingyan hung her head and said nothing, until she came out of the hanging flower door and saw the eldest lady's soft sedan waiting on the side of the road, the eldest lady stopped, faced her and said, "Your mother is still sick?"

"Yes, my mother has been bedridden."

"It's really hard for your mother and daughter, the second child is not here, although the days are difficult, you have to comfort your mother more, you still have to live, and you can support you by recovering from your illness early", the eldest lady said earnestly.

"Yes, my niece understands, thank you aunt for these words", Qingyan sincerely thanked him.

"You! The character is too good", he patted her hand and said: "The peach blossoms in the aunt's yard are blooming, you bring your mother with you, let her also come out and walk around, and scatter her heart, which is good for the condition."

Qingyan nodded in response, and the doctor in the second room let go of her hand and turned around and got into the soft sedan chair, and after she sent her away, she took Biqing and Hongwu and planned to walk back.

"Miss, the old lady is also a little partial, as long as the good things are left to the third lady, even the young lady's family affairs have to be given to her", Hongwu said dissatisfiedly.

Qingyan smiled indifferently, and said lightly: "The heart of people, nine times out of ten, is biased, as long as she doesn't prevent me from getting married in the future, I don't care about the rest."

"But...... Miss, the Pei family is rich, Pei Gongzi has both good looks and appearances, even the third miss is rushing to ask for it, it can be seen that it is a good family, it is a pity to lose it......", Bi Qing pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of, rich is rich, and expensive is indeed expensive, but the character of the son of the Pei family is not as good as the world says."

"So Miss...... You know something, that's why you let it out", Bi Qing and Red Wu both looked surprised.

"Well, a few years ago, there was a big flood in the south, and the monarch appointed Pei Rui's father to go to Jiangzhou as a minister, and Master Pei intended to train his son, so he handed over the disaster relief money to him to manage, and he didn't want him to embezzle it elsewhere, and even the people who dared to use the people's life-saving money were not of bad character."

"How does Miss know?"

Hongwu helped her into the corner gate of Qunfang Garden.

How to know! At that time, she was still the county lady of the palace of Annan County, although she was not favored, she still participated in the banquet that should have been there, although the Pei family made up for the missing silver, but there were still people in Jiangzhou who knew about it, and after the meal, the people said that she heard such a sentence or two, but she didn't expect that the circumstances of life would be so coincidental, she would one day have a relationship with the Pei family, who couldn't beat the eight poles.

"I've listened to people gossip at the banquet, and I've remembered a few words about him," Qingyan said quite calmly.

"I see"! Hongwu suddenly exclaimed: "By the way, Miss, Madame's mother over there sent a message, saying that she asked Madame to go over there directly after greeting the old lady, Madame is waiting for you."

Bi Qing glared at her, she dared to look forward to this matter, how could she be a good girl without heart and lungs.

Qingyan didn't blame her, "Mother? Then go to the mother's yard", they said as they turned around and diverted to the courtyard where the second lady lived.
