Chapter 40: Repentance (1)
、、、、、、、、、、
Master Yu looked at Shangguan Hui, and then looked at Yu Xueling, who looked at him with a dead face and tears in her eyes, how could things be like this? He really thought that the eldest daughter mentioned by Shangguan Hui was the first time he met, but why has he become Xue Ling now? But things have come to this point, and he has no chance to regret it.
"Father, I don't want it, you can't let me be a concubine, father ......" Yu Xueling's eyes were red, she stared at the letter of appointment in her hand, and screamed, Shangguan Hui saw that she wanted to tear up the letter of appointment, and quickly snatched it back, Yu Xueling's whole body trembled, her face was dead white, her hands grabbed the sleeves of Master Yu's clothes, and she shouted heartbreakingly.
"Master Jade, what the hell is going on? Didn't you tell your family beforehand? Shangguan Hui glanced at Yu Xueling, and looked at Master Yu with a frown.
Master Yu was sweating profusely, he didn't know how to deal with Shangguan Hui, it was too late for him to refuse the marriage, he couldn't let himself lose his credit, the most important thing for their businessmen was to talk about words, and he must not be untrustworthy in promising others, but once he accepted the dowry today, how would he comfort Xue Ling?
"Father, please......" Yu Xueling called Master Yu in a trembling voice, she can't marry to Palmetto City, absolutely not, once she goes to Palmetto City, her life will be ruined.
"Master, master, you can't agree, it's obvious that you're going to marry a second girl, how can you become Xue Ling, master, you can't marry Xue Ling as a concubine, I beg you to ......" Chen Zhenhui cried out sharply, knelt on the ground, holding Master Yu's thighs with both hands, her hair was a little messy because of her excessive movements, and she looked a little crazy.
"It's really ridiculous, is it willing to ask Master Yu to marry the second girl? How can you marry a concubine's daughter and be such a mother-in-law, is it possible that Master Chengyu only thinks that the eldest girl is a daughter, and the second girl born is not a daughter? Shangguan Hui snorted coldly, pressed the bright red letter of appointment on the table, and squinted at Master Yu.
Master Yu hesitated and asked for help and looked at Mrs. Yu.
Madam Yu had a faint smile on her lips, and said softly, "Shangguan City Lord said that it was a joke, our lord treats Xue Ling and the first time he sees him equally, and there is no partiality, you can rest assured, when Xue Ling gets married, our Yu family will definitely do it in the form of marrying a concubine, and it will be done properly!" ”
"Madam......" Master Yu was stunned, looking at Madam Yu with wide eyes, but he felt that her smile was still as calm and calm as before, he took a deep breath, and felt as if he was about to suffocate, could it be ...... Could it be that the reason why Qi Jiao was so calm from the beginning was because she knew that the person she was going to marry was not the first meeting, but Xue Ling?
"Master, is the concubine wrong?" Mrs. Jade raised her eyes and looked at Master Jade softly.
Master Yu froze, shook his head stiffly, "Madame said ......" He can't say that Madam Yu is wrong, because if he is wrong, it is to tell outsiders that he favors his concubine and spoils his concubine and destroys his wife.
"You, it's all you...... You are not allowed to marry Xue Ling, this is my daughter, it is not your turn to take care of it, Qi Jiao, you don't want to marry my daughter, you don't want to think about it! Chen Zhenhui screamed, jumped up and threw herself at Madame Yu.
Mrs. Yu couldn't take precautions, she was grabbed by Chen Zhenhui's shoulders with both hands, her nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, she looked at Chen Zhenhui crying with an expressionless face, her demeanor was completely lost, and she said softly, "Aunt Chen, please respect yourself." ”
"Self-respect? You slut, why do you want my daughter to be a concubine instead of your daughter, why! Chen Zhenhui screamed.
"Let go of my mother!" Hatsumi walked over and pulled Chen Zhenhui's hand away.
"Why can't your daughter be a concubine? The Shangguan family is a famous nobleman, and it is her blessing for Xue Ling to marry in the past, you should be content! Madame Yu didn't seem to notice the pain in her shoulder at all, but still smiled indifferently.
Suddenly, Chen Zhenhui's hands were grabbed with a backhand, and she broke away from Mrs. Yu's shoulders, and the whole person was pushed to the ground, and the person who shot was Zi Yao, who stood in front of Mrs. Yu and looked at Chen Zhenhui indifferently, "Aunt Chen, please respect your identity, Mrs. is the head of the house, what kind of system do you do in front of the public?" ”
"Master Yu, this is your tutor?" Shangguan Hui sneered and shook his head, his small eyes flashing with disdain as he looked at Master Yu.
Qi Zheng and Qi Yin stood silently aside, they just needed to watch the play quietly today, and Qi Wan had already explained that they were not allowed to interfere in the family affairs of the Yu family, so they also squinted at Master Yu calmly.
"Aunt Chen, don't be presumptuous!" Master Yu's face was ugly, he drank Chen Zhenhui lightly, and then smiled awkwardly at Shangguan Hui.
"The presumptuous rudeness of the concubine at home really makes the Shangguan City Lord see a joke, master, the reason why Aunt Chen is rude today is that the concubine is not disciplined, and in the future, the concubine will definitely be trained well and teach Aunt Chen what the rules are." Mrs. Jade bowed her head to Master Jade with self-reproach.
"Aunt Chen, don't take Xue Ling back to Huaichun Courtyard yet!" Master Yu glanced at Mrs. Yu deeply, and then turned his head to call out to Aunt Chen, who was already so angry that she couldn't speak.
Madam Yu smiled at Chen Zhenhui and Yu Xueling, who were supporting each other but did not leave the hall, and asked Shangguan Hui in a low voice, "Shangguan City Lord, I don't know what day the wedding date is?" ”
When Shangguan Hui faced Mrs. Yu, his attitude was very gentle, "It's set for the fifteenth of next month." ”
"Oh? I heard that the lord of Shangguan City is planning to marry the eldest girl with a wife ceremony, which is set at the fifteenth day, I am afraid that it is a little urgent, and the eldest girl still has a lot of etiquette. Madame Jade said with a smile.
"I promised to marry the eldest girl with a wife ceremony, because I heard Master Yu praise this woman for being knowledgeable and reasonable, and it is difficult to compare with the general daughter, but I see it today, but it is nothing more than that, if I still marry with a wife ceremony, I am afraid that I will be talked about by the clansmen, Mrs. ......" Shangguan Hui looked at Mrs. Yu's eyes, and immediately understood one or two in his heart, because it was difficult to look at Master Yu, he would definitely not offend the Zhongwang Mansion because of a concubine.
Master Yu's face changed slightly, "Shangguan City Lord, aren't you going back on your word?" ”
Shangguan Hui sneered, "Isn't it because Master Yu's words are exaggerated first?" ”
Master Yu was depressed in his heart, but he couldn't let it out, "That's also because Xue Ling didn't know that she was going to get married today, so she was so out of shape, and I hadn't discussed this matter with Xue Ling before." ”
When I first saw and heard the words on the side, I sneered in my heart, how could I get to Yuxueling to discuss the marriage?
"Isn't it the order of the parents to have a big marriage?" Shangguan Hui asked rhetorically.
"This ......" Master Yu opened his mouth and shook his head with a wry smile, "What the Shangguan City Lord says is what it is." ”
"In this way, then there is no need to prepare this letter of appointment, on the fifteenth day of next month, Master Yu will send someone to send the eldest girl to Palmetto City, and I won't bother today!" After speaking, Shangguan Hui lost the letter of appointment with one hand, and he was ready to leave.
"Shangguan City Lord, please stay, it is difficult to get Ningcheng, today our two brothers are the east, let's go, go to the Shenghui Building for a few drinks?" Qi Zheng kept Shangguan Hui and waved his hand to invite him to drink together.
Shangguan Hui laughed, "I can't ask for it!" ”
After the two brothers Shangguan Hui and Qi Zheng said goodbye and left, in the huge main hall, only everyone from the Yu family with different expressions remained, and boxes of dazzling and ridiculous dowries.
Master Yu sighed deeply, staggered and sat down on the teacher's chair, his hands hanging weakly, and his eyes stared at Mrs. Yu in horror.
Chen Zhenhui knelt at his feet with a sob, crying so much that she wanted to die, but Yu Xueling had a wooden expression and stood aside with a dead face.
"Qi Jiao!" Master Yu gritted his teeth and squeezed out the word from his mouth.
Madam Yu smiled lightly, "What's the matter with the old man calling the concubine?" ”
"Hello! Very good! Master Yu sneered, there was deep hatred in his eyes, today it was Qi Jiao who fell on his face like this, and didn't give him face at all, so that he completely lost his dignity in front of the Shangguan family and the Zhongwang Mansion, how would he face the people in the mansion in the future? Not to mention that after today's incident, it is even more difficult for Xue Ling to gain a foothold in the Shangguan family.
"Didn't the master always know how good the concubine was?" Mrs. Yu smiled gently, sat on the teacher's chair opposite Master Yu, and looked at him.
"You already know what happened today?" Old Man Yu had a sense of depression on his face, and the whole person looked like he was more than ten years old.
"What about knowing? I don't know what? Can it change things a thing or two? Isn't the master determined that no one can control him? Madame Jade asked softly.
Master Yu laughed out loud and couldn't help nodding, "No wonder you have been so calm, it turns out that you already know that the person you want to marry is not the first time you met!" ”
Mrs. Yu looked at Master Yu silently, looked at it for a long time, and never seemed to have looked at this person seriously, "Master, do you really hate seeing this person so much?" Or is it because he resents the concubine, so he hates Chujian together, and wishes she would marry out quickly? ”
"I ......" Master Yu was sluggish, he really didn't like the first meeting, because her birth almost killed Qi Jiao, and made Qi Jiao infertile, in his heart, the first time he saw was an ominous person, he naturally wanted to marry this ominous person quickly, but how to say such words to Qi Jiao?
"Master, you're tired today, so let's go back and rest first." Madame Yu stood up, half an eye didn't want to look at Yu Yunsheng anymore, and she didn't want to listen to him anymore, his hesitation...... Isn't that already well explained?
"Qi Jiao!" Master Yu roared, "You don't take me in your eyes anymore, do you still have my husband in your heart?" ”
Mrs. Yu frowned and looked at Master Yu very seriously, "Does the master want to listen to me tell the truth or lie?" ”
When Master Yu heard this, he almost couldn't breathe, but he didn't dare to ask Qi Wan to tell the truth, he was afraid...... She said she didn't have him in her heart anymore......
"Big girl, although you only married as a concubine in the past, you still have to learn etiquette, I will invite a gentleman to come to your house to teach you etiquette these days, you have to practice it carefully." Madame Yu looked at Yu Xueling lightly and explained softly.
Looking at Yu Xueling for the first time, she smiled sweetly, "Congratulations to my sister, I can finally get married as I wish!" ”
Ah, the sky is blue, the white clouds are white, the air is fresh and fresh, this world is so beautiful! Chujian was screaming wildly in his heart, it turned out to be just a false alarm!
Smack - as soon as the words fell, a crisp slap sounded suddenly, Yu Xueling walked quickly to the front of the first meeting, no one had time to take precautions, she had already swept a palm on the cheeks that were as white as jade at the first sight, and suddenly, the swollen red slap print floated up.
