Chapter 116: Qu's forced marriage
As soon as Qu Shi heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he snorted coldly and asked, "Do you mean that you don't want to marry my son?" ”
"Ah Zhi has no right to decide, this matter should still be decided by the old lady, after all, the words of the matchmaker are the orders of the parents!" Xun Xuan said lightly.
Qu's eyebrows jumped, and he turned to look at Old Madam Xing: "I don't know what Old Madam Xing's attitude is?" ”
Old Madam Xing smiled: "What Ah Zhi said makes sense, after all, the marriage between the fourth girl and the second son Zhu was given by the emperor, and we dare not disobey!" ”
Qu squinted his eyes and threatened: "Let's tell you the truth, this marriage is a nodding of the concubine Niangniang, the emperor is all based on the concubine's words, if you don't want to, then you are the enemy of the current concubine, so that you can't eat and go around!" ”
No wonder Qu is so confident, but it turned out to be Zhu Sinong's meaning.
On the one hand, he didn't want Xun Xuan to enter the palace, so he came up with such a despicable way to force Xun Xuan to marry, so that Xun Xuan would completely lose the opportunity to enter the palace.
On the other hand, Xun Mansion and Zhu Mansion are feuds, and getting Xun Xuan into Zhu Mansion is equivalent to holding this last threat in his hands, and he can torture him as much as he wants, even if he is killed by them, Xun Xuan is also called every day and not called the earth and the earth to be spiritual.
Xun Xuan...... You can't enter the Zhu Mansion under any circumstances, that is equivalent to killing yourself!
Qu's has changed from the original attitude of negotiation to open robbery.
If Xun Xuan does not comply, the entire Anfu will be implicated, and Mrs. Xing, as the elder in the family, even if she loves Xun Zhi no matter how much she hurts, she has to take care of the safety of the entire Anfu.
But she can't ignore Xun Xuan's second half of her life for the sake of her family, so she is in a dilemma.
"Madam, Ah Zhi is still young, and it is very likely that she will enter Fengming Academy to study in the future, please forgive me!" Old Madam Xing excused herself.
"You old woman is really stubborn, for the sake of a granddaughter, she actually put your entire Anfu out of the way, what an old fool!" Qu was not ashamed to speak, and he was directly disrespectful to Mrs. Xing.
Even if Mrs. Xing is not good, she is also the first-class lady of the first emperor's seal, how can she be a concubine who can point fingers?
"Is it difficult for Mrs. to force marriage?" Old Madam Xing said coldly.
"Forced marriage? Hum...... Don't think of your granddaughter as a baby, I wish the house is just a compromise, and I can't help but look at Xun Zhi, that's her blessing, if my son doesn't like it, it's a concubine, I don't have enough! Qu sarcastically said.
"Okay, since Mrs. doesn't look down on the people like this, the people naturally don't force it, the people will never marry into the Zhu Mansion, please Mrs. Please go back!"
After Xun Xuan finished speaking, she turned around and made a "send-off" move.
Qu didn't expect Xun Xuan's attitude to be so tough, and then scolded angrily: "You stinky girl who has not dried up, you dare to talk to me like this!" Okay, don't regret it, when the concubine gets the will from the emperor, you have to marry if you don't marry, I think you dare to be so hard-mouthed! ”
"Then please wish the concubine to get the decree from the emperor first!" Xun Xuan looked at Qu with a sneer, but she was just a young man with chicken feathers as an arrow, how could she be afraid of her?
"You ......" Qu was choked by Xun Xuan, and he was speechless for a while.
Xun Xuan lowered her eyes and stretched out her hand to the door: "Madame go slowly, the people don't send it!" ”
"Okay, you wait and see, Xun Zhi...... Sooner or later you will fall into my hands! Qu Shi said a cruel word and left angrily.
Old Madam Xing watched people walk away, she always felt hairy in her heart, and looked at Xun Xuan worriedly: "Ah Zhi, the Qu clan won't really do anything unfavorable to Anfu, right?" ”
Xun Xuan smiled and said with relief: "Grandmother, don't worry, Ah Zhi has already arranged it, I wish Concubine Guifei can't get the marriage decree, and Zhu Ziqi doesn't want to succeed!" ”
Mrs. Xing looked at Xun Xuan with a confident look, and couldn't help but feel relieved in her heart, this girl's way of doing things is more and more like her sister, both rigid and soft, and quite means.
……
It's late autumn, and the weather is getting cooler, especially at night, and charcoal fires are burning in many courtyards.
Qu You and Qi Yin, the two maids, were waiting in Xun Xuan's house, and they were busy making cotton hand covers for Xun Xuan.
"It is said that a few days after Qu's return to the house, a holy decree came to the palace, and the emperor gave Zhu Ziqi twenty battles, and it is said that the chief administrator personally supervised the punishment." Qu You said gloatingly.
"Thanks to the impeachment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, otherwise Zhu Ziqi would not be able to be arrogant! It is too much to oppress our Anfu like this, and even our old lady does not take it seriously! "Chime is uneven.
"That's fine, Miss doesn't have to worry about being forced to marry by Zhu Ziqi anymore!" Qu You said happily.
The two of you said it word by word, but Xun Xuan never spoke.
Xun Xuan was lying on the soft collapse alone, looking lazy, but in fact, she had been thinking about one thing in her heart, she wanted to poison An Sheng.
What did she do to make An Sheng unknowingly trick An Sheng?
And the man in black and the man in white who gave her Gu medicine before, who are they? Why did you find her? Why do they think she'll help them?
Or did they know early on that An Sheng was an accomplice to the murder of Wu Guogong?
These people know the inside story, so do they have the same purpose as her? Avenge?
These days, these questions have been bothering Xun Xuan, she has repeatedly thought about these questions, but she has never been able to get a definite answer, and over time, these things have almost become her heart disease.
……
At noon that day, Xun Xuan had just returned from Mr. Pan's morning class, and the exam of Fengming Academy was imminent, and she was still one thing away from officially entering the academy, so she had been practicing painting diligently recently.
Although with Xun Xuan's level of painting, it is not a big problem to pass the exam, Xun Xuan still doesn't want to be negligent, she must be good enough, only in this way can she be qualified to enter the palace.
"You, you still have the face to seduce the second son, see if I don't kill you!" When passing by the Qingdan Pavilion of the Liu Clan, I vaguely heard the scolding of Ziyan.
Xun Xuan couldn't help but stop and looked at it twice.
"Call me! You, you don't usually do things well, you want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, Jinwen is a talent among people, you is not qualified to make a room for him! Liu scolded angrily while instructing Ziyan to whip another maid, Yunxiang.
"I didn't! Yun has no thoughts about the son, Mrs. asks Yun Xiang to do anything, and asks Mrs. to let Yun Xiang go! The maid cried and begged for mercy.
There was not the slightest pity on Liu's face, but he was even more oppressive: "Since this is the case, then I will marry you to Steward Xu and make a continuation for him, which is also good, are you willing?" ”
"The slave maid just wants to serve his wife wholeheartedly, and he doesn't want to get married!" Yun Xiang begged for mercy miserably, Steward Li is a forty or fifty-year-old old man, he likes to flirt with the little maid in the house on weekdays, and he is even less human when he drinks, and it is rumored that his last wife was beaten to death by him after drinking.
The Liu family married Yun Xiang to Steward Li, which was to push her into the fire pit.
"! You still say that you don't have bad intentions for the second son? If you really don't have Xiao Xiang, why don't you agree to marry Steward Li? "The relationship between the Liu family and An Sheng has been stiff recently, and Steward Li is the person next to An Sheng, and she has a little bit of that meaning for Yun Xiang, so she is bent on giving Yun Xiang to Steward Li.
This also makes it easier for her to know the latest situation of AXA.
But Yunxiang is a dead brain, and he refuses to listen to what he says.
Liu was furious, and remembered that An Jinwen came to her courtyard a few days ago and said a few more words to this maid, so she felt that this maid was not down-to-earth, and she also wanted to tarnish her son's good name.
Don't even think about it!
"I can tell you, I have already told Steward Li, you have to marry if you don't marry, if you dare to make a moth with me, be careful that I will kill you!" Ryu threatened.
"Madam, just spare Yunxiang, Steward Li can't get married!" Yun Xiang shouted in despair.
But no matter how she cries, in the eyes of the Liu family, her life is not as important as a piece of gossip about Ansheng.
"Call me! Fight until she's willing! Liu Shi gave Ziyan a command, and then went back to the house.
Ziyan answered, and continued to swing his whip and hit Yun Xiang's body hard.
Xun Xuan watched this scene quietly on the side, and left without saying a word.
After returning to Hanyunju, Xun Xuan called Qu You: "Go and check the cloud phase of Qingdan Pavilion." ”
"Cloud phase? Isn't that someone close to the Liu family? Why did the young lady ask about her? Qu Yu was puzzled.
Xun Xuan smiled and said lightly: "Maybe this person can be used by me." ”
She has been having a headache lately, how did she drug An Sheng unknowingly, and now she finally thought of a way.
Qu You's matter was done quickly, and he went back and forth to Xun Xuan that afternoon: "Miss, this Yun Xiang used to be the person who served by the side of An Ergongzi, and later the Liu family felt that she had ill intentions towards the second son, so she asked people to her Qingdan Pavilion, Yun Xiang has a seriously ill old mother at home, and she spends a lot of money on medicine every month, and most of Yun Xiang's wages are spent on her mother. ”
When Qi Yin heard this, he couldn't help sighing: "This cloud is really miserable, my mother is seriously ill, and I am still treated so harshly by the Liu family in Anfu." ”
Xun Xuan took the hot water kettle, made a pot of hot tea, and said lightly: "Chiyin, you go and invite Yunxiang, be careful not to be discovered." ”
"Yes."
After a short time, Qi Yin brought back Yun Xiang, who was covered with injuries, but Yun Xiang was not only injured on his body, but also soaked all over his body, and the whole person was unconscious.
"What's going on?" Xun Xuan twisted her eyebrows and asked.
Qi Yin shook her head and sighed: "I'm going to commit suicide by throwing myself into a well, fortunately I went in time, otherwise she would have ...... by now."
Xun Xuan exhaled lightly, a little helpless, and commanded: "Take people down to clean them first, and treat the wound by the way." ”
"Yes." After the chime and Qu Youying should go down, they went down with the clouds.
After another hour, Yun Xiang finally woke up, and Qi Yin came to report to Xun Xuan.
