Because Su Jie was reluctant to marry the Du family, the fourth wife decided after thinking about it again and again, but she still refused.

Although the Du family is a good family, the fourth wife thinks that with Su Jie's character and appearance, she will definitely find a better marriage.

"Madam, if you want to refuse the marriage of the Du family, I'm afraid that the old lady won't be willing." Mama Liu carefully reminded the fourth wife.

The fourth lady snorted lightly, and there was a hint of disapproval in her tone: "Otherwise, what should I do?" Let my son marry a concubine? I'm not a second sister-in-law, let them coax me! No one wants to use my son to calculate! ”

Although the fourth lady said this, she was also a little worried in her heart, because she knew that what Mama Liu said was right, I am afraid that it is not easy to refuse this matter, if Mrs. Su knows that she wants to refuse the marriage of the Du family, I am afraid that she will come out to intervene, and then they will be passive.

And they are from the Su family in the end, and they will have to live in the mansion in the future, if they offend the old lady, I am afraid that they will have a hard time in the future.

After thinking about it, the fourth wife sighed, this Du family was originally what she wanted to say to Su Zhan, but she didn't expect that now she was wrapping herself in.

"This Du family, I don't know how to reject them." The fourth lady frowned and said to herself.

Mama Liu's eyes rolled, covered her mouth and smiled: "Madam, what's so embarrassing about this, it's not a big deal if this family affair can't get married, let's just say it, if it gets out at that time, our young master is a master, it's nothing, the big deal is to talk about the family affair later, maybe you can meet better!" Miss Du has reached the age of kissing, if it is spread, I am afraid it will hinder her reputation. ”

The fourth lady thought about it and felt that it made sense, she said: "It's better to choose the best of both worlds, so that the old lady has nothing to say." ”

Mama Liu smiled: "That's not simple, the affairs of the Du family are all contacted by the wife, you quietly refused, and then went back to the old lady, saying that the Du family did not agree to this marriage, isn't it done?" For the sake of Miss Du's reputation, how can the Du family still find our family? The Du family disagreed, and the old lady couldn't blame you. ”

The fourth lady smiled slowly, she nodded, solved this family matter, and she was also relieved, because Mama Liu had made a meritorious suggestion, and turned her head and rewarded her with a gold bracelet.

When she turned around, Mrs. Fourth asked the matchmaker to pass the word, and the people from the Du family refused the marriage, but what Mrs. Fourth didn't expect was that the next day, the people from the Du family came to the door, and it was Mrs. Su who found her.

"Old lady, I am also entrusted by others, and I don't want to come to the door to dislike people. But it's not a trivial matter about the girl's reputation, the Su family is a scholarly family, a century-old reputation, the young master of the Su family shouldn't be able to do anything with the girl privately, I guess if there is any misunderstanding here, so I still want to run this trip and explain the misunderstanding clearly. After the matchmaker greeted Mrs. Su, she raised her head and said such a thing.

Mrs. Su was stunned: "What kind of private teaching?" It's impossible! Our children are the most polite and well-behaved, and they will never do such ugly things! ”

The matchmaker nodded and agreed: "I think so too, it's just that the Du family and the Su family were originally discussing marriage, so it's hard to say!" Now that Miss Du's reputation has been ruined, the Su family has returned to her family, this Du family is not a small family, I am afraid that I will not confess. ”

"Got the family back?" A look of astonishment flashed across Old Lady Su's face.

"Don't you know, old lady?" The matchmaker was even more surprised than Mrs. Su, and after a pause, she couldn't help but sneer: "Ouch, I said this, I think I am an old lady, you know!" The house replied, the fifth young master is still young, let's not talk about family affairs first, it turns out that it's not the old lady, your words? ”

For Mrs. Su, who thinks that she controls the entire Su Mansion, she undoubtedly slapped her in the face, and she is also a matchmaker who makes her look down on her!

Therefore, Mrs. Su, who has always maintained her kind and kind image in front of outsiders, completely cold-faced at this time.

"You say, what the hell is going on? Who taught the girl of the Du family privately?! Mrs. Su said awe-inspiringly.

Although the matchmaker has the support of the Du family and is full of confidence, but in the end she is just a matchmaker who begs for a living, seeing Mrs. Su so imposing, she is also a little weak in her heart, and the smile on her face deepens a little.

"Naturally, the fifth young master who is discussing with Miss Du, you see, this is a token taken out by the Du family, but it is the purse of the fifth young master in the house?" As the matchmaker spoke, he pulled something out of his sleeve.

The cyan purse, with a five-character character written on it, was exactly what Su Jie was carrying.

Purses are very intimate and very private, and unless they are in a very close relationship, they cannot be given away at will, especially between men and women.

However, it is usually the woman who gives the man a purse embroidered by herself, and it is not very common for a woman to hold a man's purse.

However, no one noticed this detail at this time, and Mrs. Su looked at the purse and trembled with anger.

"Go! Go and call the fourth lady to me! Mrs. Su said sharply.

The fourth lady didn't know that the people from the Du family were coming, but she also thought that Mrs. Su was asking about the Su family's relatives, so she made a draft and came to Lingyun Courtyard.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw the matchmaker standing below, and the fourth wife's face changed, deceiving her mother-in-law, it was really unfilial, this matter was too big, and Mrs. Su was going to take a break, and she was defensible.

Thinking of this, the fourth wife's feet were soft, but Mama Liu quickly helped her.

"Mother, mother......" the fourth lady snorted.

Mrs. Su glanced at her coldly, turned her head to the matchmaker, and squeezed out a smile: "Mama, please go back first, please tell Master Du, we are afraid that there is some misunderstanding between our Su family and the Du family, we are very satisfied with Miss Du, this family must be recognized by our Su family, it depends on when it is convenient in the house, and then come to Gengti." ”

"Yo, that's a good idea! I'll just say that there is some misunderstanding here, and it's not in vain for me to take this trip! The matchmaker said with a smile, ignoring the fourth lady with a look of trepidation: "That old lady, this matter is decided?" I'll go back to Master Du? ”

"It's settled!" Mrs. Su nodded again and again: "Master Du can take a fancy to our little five, that's his blessing!" If anyone dares to put a beak in this marriage, our Su family will not be able to tolerate her! As she spoke, she glanced at the fourth lady with a cold look in her eyes.

The fourth lady couldn't help but shudder.

"Then the slave will take her leave first!" The matchmaker saluted Mrs. Su and turned around and walked out.

Mrs. Su glanced at Mama Xu, and Mama Xu hurriedly walked out.

"Old sister, go slowly!" Mama Xu walked to the matchmaker with a smile on her face, quietly stuffed a purse into the matchmaker's sleeve, and then smiled: "This matter is a misunderstanding, our old lady is very satisfied with the girl of the Du family, and she has long been looking forward to the conclusion of this family affair soon, and asked the old sister to explain a thing or two in front of Lord Du and Mrs. Du." ”

The matchmaker pinched the red envelope, and knew that it was a heavy reward, and the smile on his face was two points real: "This is natural, I'm still waiting to drink the happy wine!" ”

Mama Xu sent the matchmaker away, and then quietly returned to the back room.

Mrs. Su threw Su Jie's purse in front of the fourth wife, couldn't suppress her anger, and said angrily: "Jie'er is privately taught and accepted by others!" You still want to refuse the family affair, do you think your son's future is too good?! ”

The fourth lady raised her head in amazement: "This is impossible!" How could Jerry do such a thing? ”

But the fourth lady lowered her head, it was Su Jie's thing, she wouldn't admit it.

The Du family sent things to the Su family, and they stayed, this marriage, Mrs. Su didn't recognize it, and the matchmaker didn't even take the things away, so you can imagine the confidence of the Du family.

Mrs. Su sneered: "Did Jie'er do it?" Now that the Du family is determined that he and Miss Du are not innocent, what can you do? Spread the word, does Jie'er still want to study in Guozijian? ”

It is precisely because of this that the exclusive people are not afraid of the Su family's regrets at all.

The fourth lady said with a stunned face: "Then, then this family affair is decided?" ”

"How else are you prepared? Go and fall out with the Du family? Old Lady Su asked mockingly.

The fourth lady was silent, Mrs. Su looked at her with a reluctant look, and the anger she had just suppressed surged up again, she pointed at her and scolded: "I'll tell you, it's best to take care of it for me, no matter how this family affair is concluded, it is settled now!" Don't make me look like a dead man, you not only have to marry people back, but you have to marry people back happily! Jer's future is all in the Du family's girl! ”

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, the fourth wife figured it out, bowed her head and answered yes.

Old Mrs. Su glanced at her gloomily: "Your little caution, it's best to put it away for me, if it weren't for the fact that you are Jie'er's mother-in-law, if you dare to brush such careful thoughts, the Su family won't be able to tolerate you!" ”

The fourth lady was shocked, and couldn't help but tremble slightly at the gloomy eyes of Mrs. Su, she lowered her head: "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." ”

Old Mrs. Su saw that she seemed to really listen, so she turned her eyes away.

"Mother! I heard that the fourth sister-in-law is here! It just so happens that in this matter, please ask my mother to call the shots for our Yan'er! Suddenly, Mrs. Fifth burst in with a furious face, and as soon as she entered the door, she said these words.

You must know that the fifth wife has always been very well-behaved in front of Mrs. Su, and the one who follows the rules is the most obedient daughter-in-law, and the fifth wife has entered the door for so many years, and it is the first time that she has directly entered Lingyun Courtyard like this.

Mrs. Su was angry with the fourth wife, and when she saw her style, her face suddenly sank: "Presumptuous!" ”

The anger on the fifth wife's face was stunned, and then she knelt on the ground with a look of expectation: "My daughter-in-law is presumptuous today, and I ask my mother to forgive me, but this matter, the fourth sister-in-law must give me an explanation!" Otherwise, even if I die, I won't have the shame to see my brother and sister-in-law! ”

When the fourth wife heard this, her head was big, she and the fifth wife have been concubines for so many years, and they know her personality well, and they have never been sad that the fifth wife said so seriously.

"Fifth brother and sister, why did you say this?" The fourth lady asked with a displeased expression.

"Ask your good son! What did he do! The fifth lady said angrily, turned her head, glanced at Mrs. Su, and cried again: "Mother, I, I really have no face to see people, I took my niece from my mother's family into Beijing, originally to find a good family affair for her, but I didn't expect that my husband's nephew would be innocent!" I'm really shameless to live! ”

The fourth lady suddenly raised her head, looked at her coldly and said, "Fifth brother and sister, you can't talk nonsense!" It's about the innocence of the two children, how can they be so untrustworthy? ”

"What's the truth? This is what Zhen'er saw with her own eyes! The fifth lady immediately answered, turned her head, and ordered: "Go and bring the second young lady and the fifth young master." ”

Su Yunzhen and Su Jie, both brothers and sisters, walked in like a pair of frosted eggplants.

Seeing Su Jie's appearance, the fourth wife's face turned pale, and she took Su Jie's hand: "Jie'er, Jie'er, don't scare your mother, what's going on?" ”

Zhou Yan also walked in holding the maid's hand, but she was a little embarrassed, her clothes were messy, and her eyes were red.

"Aunt, aunt, I lost someone to the Zhou family, you sent me to a nunnery at will, and I twisted my hair to be my sister-in-law! I can't shame the Zhou family either! Zhou Yan cried as she spoke.

Old Lady Su was relieved by Zhou Yan's crying, and she asked angrily, "Who can tell me what's going on?!" ”

In the end, it was Mama Xu, seeing that this situation was not right, so she hurriedly went out to inquire about the situation, and saw that Mrs. Su was angry, she came to Mrs. Su's side and whispered back to the matter.

It turned out that Su Jie and Zhou Yan had a tryst in the rockery in the garden, because of the marriage between Su Jie and the Du family, Zhou Yan complained a little about Su Jie, and the two had some disputes.

Su Jie finally coaxed Zhou Yan, the two of them reconciled as before, and were talking about the mountain alliance and sea oath, but Su Yunzhen suddenly appeared, Su Yunzhen looked at the two of them in shock, and asked angrily: "What are you doing?" ”

It doesn't matter if he asks like this, he disturbs the subordinates in the mansion, and thinks that Su Yunzhen has seen something, and when the subordinates come like this, Su Jie and Zhou Yan's affairs can't be stopped.

Originally, Su Jie still wanted to suppress the matter, but someone had already gone to tell the fifth wife, and as soon as the fifth wife came, she pulled Zhou Yan to find the fourth wife to ask for an explanation.

Mrs. Su never thought that Su Jie would not only teach and receive from others privately, but also two at a time! She had just finished solving a family affair for him, but another one came to the door again!

Mrs. Su only felt a buzzing in her head, and finally couldn't help but weaken and fell on the couch.

"Old lady! Old lady? Mama Xu shouted in a hurry: "Quick, go and ask for a doctor!" ”

The doctor came soon, only saying that he was angry and wanted to recuperate, not to be stimulated, Mrs. Su fell ill, and all the daughters-in-law and granddaughters came to Lingyun Courtyard to serve the sick.

The Chen family and Su Yunlai also came, among which the Chen family was the most sincere, because this matter had nothing to do with her, so she had no shirking of her heart.

The fourth wife and the fifth wife were making an awkward noise, but the old lady was so angry that they were also panicked and didn't dare to make trouble at this time, so the atmosphere was harmonious.

Mrs. Su's brain was dizzy, she opened her eyes, and the fourth lady hurriedly stepped forward: "Mother, what do you think?" ”

Mrs. Su glanced at her, thinking of her son's affairs, she felt a little upset, turned her head and saw Mrs. Fifth again, in the past, she loved this little daughter-in-law the most, but at this time it was also a little eye-catching, and in the end, somehow, only the Chen family was the most pleasing to the eye.

"Grandmother!" Su Zhan called worriedly, "You have to take care of your body!" ”

Old Mrs. Su looked at the genuine concern in Su Zhan's eyes, her eyes flashed, she nodded slightly, turned her head and said, "You all go, let the second family stay!" After a pause, she looked at Su Zhan and slowed down her voice: "Zhan'er, you are not well, go back too, don't let grandmother worry." ”

Su Zhan hesitated for a moment, thinking that he really couldn't help if he stayed, so he left a maid to help, and then left Lingyun Courtyard.

I have to say that Mrs. Su's body is still very good, although she was stimulated and fainted just now, but she was in a coma once, and she has accepted the whole thing after waking up, and her ability to bear it is still good.

Su Yunlai and Chen helped Mrs. Su get up and drink the medicine, and Mrs. Su looked at Su Yunlai: "Good boy, you can go back too." ”

Chen was willing to serve the old lady by herself, but she didn't want to be tired of her daughter, so she glanced at Su Yunlai, "Ah Wan, you go and help your mother take a look at your third brother, so as not to take medicine well." ”

Su Yunlai nodded, then she glanced at Mama Lan, and then at Chen, Mama Lan nodded imperceptibly, and Su Yunlai turned around and left.

Returning to Tingyuxuan, Su Zhan was already waiting for her.

"Did you do this today?" Su Zhan looked at Su Yunlai with a scrutinizing gaze.

Su Yun looked at his somewhat disapproving expression, and sighed slightly in his heart, what misunderstanding did her brother seem to have about her?

Su Yunlai was calm, thought for a while, and then said: "I didn't do this, but it can't be said that I have nothing to do with me." After a pause, she glanced at Su Zhan: "If you want to dig deeper, I'm afraid it has something to do with you." ”

"What do you mean?" Su Zhan asked with a frown.

Su Yunlai walked across from him and sat down, and then said, "You should remember that Zhou Yan and Du Yue'e are actually your marriage." ”

Su Zhan opened his mouth, and Su Yunlai said again: "I asked my mother to agree to the marriage of the Du family in order to refuse the fifth aunt, and the marriage between you and the Du family did not succeed because the Du family fell in love with the fifth brother who was more strange and livable." ”

Although the Du family would dislike Su Zhan and turn their heads in favor of Su Jie, it was Su Yunlai who played some small tricks in it, but this kind of small detail was ignored by Su Yunlai as a matter of course.

"What happened to Zhou Yan and the fifth brother?" Su Zhan asked.

"I'm going to ask the fifth aunt about this." Su Yunlai said lightly: "Originally, she wanted to marry Zhou Yanxu to you, and then increase the bargaining chips of the Zhou family's big house, but you already had the marriage of the Du family at that time, and this idea fell through, so she had to think of another way." ”

"Our fifth aunt is not such an easy person to give up." Su Yunlai said meaningfully.

Su Zhan was not a stupid person, he quickly understood: "The fifth brother is her other idea?" ”

Su Yunlai nodded: "The fifth aunt will find the fifth brother, there are two reasons." ”

Su Zhan raised her eyebrows and didn't speak, waiting for her to continue, Su Yunlai didn't sell it: "The first one is naturally to solve the crisis of the Zhou family's big house, after all, the position of the eldest lord of the Zhou family is also related to her status in her husband's family, so if it is possible, she will not let go of the opportunity to marry the Su family." ”

"And compared to you, the fifth brother is a more suitable candidate, after all, everyone knows that the fifth brother has an unlimited future now." Su Yunlai said meaningfully.

Compared to Su Zhan's poor health, Su Jie's conditions are obviously more perfect.

As soon as he mentioned this, Su Zhan was a little uncomfortable, he wrinkled his brows, and continued to ask, "Then what is the second reason?" ”

"The second one...... It is to maintain the majesty of her housewife. Su Yunlai hooked the corners of his lips, but a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes: "Since the fifth brother went to Guozijian to study, the fourth aunt has become more and more arrogant at home, and there are some people who want to press the posture of the fifth aunt, and the fifth aunt is naturally impossible to give up." ”

"Since the fourth aunt was the matchmaker for the Du family and ruined the marriage between Zhou Yan and you, the fifth aunt has been displeased, since the fourth aunt has ruined her plan, then she will use the fourth aunt's son to repay it." Su Yun said, "Looking at it this way, the fifth aunt's means are higher. ”

The fifth wife just used the marriage of a niece to exchange for the fourth wife's most precious son, this deal is cost-effective no matter how you look at it, and the fifth wife's intention was to marry Zhou Yan to the Su family, not Su Zhan, Su Jie's conditions are better.

"She's not going to suffer." Su Zhan couldn't help but say.

"But that was her original plan, and now she's afraid she's going to lose." Su Yunlai said meaningfully.

"How?" Su Zhan immediately asked.

"Originally, Zhou Yan was asked to get close to the fifth brother, so that the two had a friendship, and then the marriage came naturally, but now that your marriage with the Du family has not been completed, the Du family has taken a fancy to the fifth brother again, so the girl of the Zhou family has become embarrassed, because she knows that her grandmother is bent on marrying the Du family, and she will not let the fifth brother marry Miss Zhou no matter what."

"So, she just made a big deal and made it known to everyone, so that the fifth brother had to marry her?" Su Zhan continued.

Su Yunlai nodded: "After all, it is a girl from the Zhou family, and if something like this happens, even if it is a grandmother, she has to give an explanation to the Zhou family, so don't look at the excitement between the fifth aunt and Miss Zhou, in fact, what they want is just a name." ”

The Du family knew that they were threatening Mrs. Su with Su Jie's future, and the fifth wife also understood this truth, but the fifth wife didn't expect that the Du family's favorite candidate was actually Su Jie!

"Now that the marriage between the Du family and the fifth brother is about to be decided, the fifth aunt is unwilling to let her plan fall through, so she has to take a risk and directly make a fuss, so that the grandmother has to make decisions for Miss Zhou." Su Yunlai said calmly.

Su Zhan furrowed his brows: "You mean, the matter between the fifth brother and Miss Zhou was broken, and the fifth aunt did it?" ”

Su Yunlai nodded and said meaningfully: "Because the person who broke this matter is the second sister." ”
