Chapter 118: Severing Relations
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
Facing Shang Yizi's firm gaze, Tan Zheng took a deep breath, raised his voice, and ordered his subordinates, "Go and bring Miss over." โ
Through the thin layer of doors, although the little servant couldn't really hear it, he also knew that there was a dispute between the masters of the house, he nodded and replied, his attitude was extremely respectful, and then he ran quickly to the backyard.
At this moment, Tan Yuanqing was chatting in Mrs. Tan's house, and when she saw the little maid rushing in in a panic, she frowned slightly, and before she could reprimand, she heard the latter shout: "Miss, the master asked you to come over." โ
Casually put the yarn in the basket, the woman's beautiful face showed a deep look of surprise, and she couldn't help asking, "Daddy suddenly called me over, but what happened?" โ
"Fu Guohou is in the study, it seems that he has quarreled with the master...... "Because I am not sure, the little guy can't help but lose a little confidence when he speaks, and his voice is as small as a mosquito humming."
But no matter how small the movement was, Tan Yuanqing heard it, she had done something evil, she was very weak-hearted, her originally ruddy cheeks lost their blood color in an instant, her teeth bit her lip, and her eyes showed obvious panic.
Knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, Mrs. Tan still knows a little about this daughter, she waved her hand, and waited for all the servants in the house to leave before asking, "What's wrong?" โ
"It's not for the Heng family's 200,000 taels of silver? Cousin Cage wants to marry the Chu family, in this way, with the support of the Auxiliary Marquis, he will definitely be like a fish in water above the court, and climb up with the trend, in order to do this business, her daughter found Gu Yulin and asked her to move Zhou Zhen to come to the door to make trouble, I thought that the thing was already very hidden, but I don't know where Chu Qinghe got the news. โ
Every time Tan Yuanqing said a word, Mrs. Tan's brows wrinkled tighter, this time her right eyelid jumped violently, people said that the left eye jumped wealth and the right eye jumped disaster, could it be that something big would happen today?
"That's it, I'll go to the study with you, no matter what, Chu Qinghe is your father's righteous son, and with the pressure of the elders, he can't make any waves, so don't worry too much."
Hearing this, Tan Yuanqing's face softened a little, and he walked side by side with his mother, and after a quarter of an hour, the two arrived in the study.
As soon as he pushed open the door and saw the solemn faces of the men, the smile on Tan Yuanqing's face gradually became stiff, and he asked after saluting, "Daddy called his daughter to the study, but what is the matter?" โ
Tan Zheng sat on the Eight Immortals chair, holding a bowl of hot tea in his hand, turned his eyes to look at the tall and sturdy Yizi, and said in a deep voice, "Yuanqing is here, you can ask if you have anything to say, so as not to hold it in your heart and have a dislike in the family." โ
Chu Qinghe's face was expressionless, but his black eyes were blazing, staring at the woman in front of him, and asked word by word: "Why did you go to Gu Yulin?" โ
Tan Yuanqing pretended to be puzzled, "Where did I start with my righteous brother, I am not familiar with Gu Yulin, how could I go to her for no reason?" โ
"This matter was admitted by Lord Zhou himself, he is a member of the second grade, could he deliberately frame you as a boudoir woman?"
Even if she was scared in her heart, Tan Yuanqing did not show half a bit of cowardice on her face, her eyes were slightly red, and two lines of tears fell down her snow-white cheeks, that posture of pear blossoms with rain, if others saw it, they might feel pity, but Chu Qinghe was cold-hearted and cold-blooded, and he had long been disgusted with the vicious woman in front of him, and when he saw her pretending like this, his heart was even more crooked.
"Do you really think I don't have proof?" While speaking, Chu Qinghe took out a jade pendant from his sleeve cage, on which was written the word "Qing", which was Tan Yuanqing's personal belonging.
His breath was a little unstable, and Tan Yuanqing defended himself, "My jade pendant was lost a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of my brother-in-law, thank you for helping me find it." โ
"The jade pendant was given to me by Gu Yulin personally, and she said that you promised her that as long as Zhou Zhen took the initiative to go to the Hou Mansion to marry Liansheng, he would let his father-in-law take more care of him, whether this matter is true or false, no one will know better than you."
Secretly scolded the Zhou family for a bloody squirt, Tan Yuanqing really didn't expect that they would tell Chu Qinghe the truth about the matter, in addition to offending the Tan family, what good could it be?
Seeing that his sister's face was blue and white, Tan Bixing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.
The two of them are siblings of the same mother, they grew up together, they know each other's demeanor very well, and they know that as long as she lies, her index finger and thumb will go back and forth, a habit that has not changed for more than ten years.
"It doesn't matter if you admit it or not, anyway, in Miss Tan's eyes, I, Chu Qinghe, will always be a broken family from Jingyang, and I am something that cannot be put on the table, and I am not worthy of being on an equal footing with a noble person like you, in this case, in the future, the two of us must not be commensurate with righteous brothers and sisters, and I will never interfere in the affairs of the Tan family again."
After that, the man's face was complicated, and he clasped his fists at Tan Zheng and Tan Bixing, and then walked out of the study with his head held high, without the slightest nostalgia.
looked at Chu Qinghe's back in a daze, and when he arrived at this stall, Tan Yuanqing finally knew that he was afraid. Although her father is the secretary of the military department, but this position is not stable, the left and right servants are eyeing each other, ready to replace him at any time, there were auxiliary marquis in the past, they did not dare to take it lightly, and now the Tan and Chu families are completely out of their hearts, how should this be?
Not only Tan Yuanqing's heart was anxious, but Mrs. Tan's heart was also burning, holding the Jinpa in her hand, and said hatefully, "The surname Chu is really a bastard, if it wasn't for the lord who accepted him as a righteous son, he would have died on the battlefield a long time ago, how could he become an auxiliary marquis with authority?" If I had known he was so ungrateful, I shouldn't have left him alone in the first place......"
Tan Bixing's eyebrows were shrouded in a strong sense of shame, he covered his face with his hands, and said in a dumb voice, "Mother, my brother-in-law has helped us so much, why don't you remember it?" Back then, Yuan Qing used the means to repent of marriage, and now she has calculated Liansheng and ruined the reputation of others, this evil thing is enough to consume all the feelings, you can't blame the righteous brother, if you want to complain, you will blame our Tan family, selfish by nature, and it is also to blame for the current end. โ
Mrs. Tan choked, her lips trembled, she didn't know what to say, but Tan Yuanqing, who was standing on the side, couldn't stand it a little, and retorted sharply:
"Brother, are you blaming me? Do you know who I'm doing this for? Heng Kaiqi wants to marry Liansheng, so he is willing to give our family 200,000 taels of silver, even if you are out of the mud and not stained, you should also think about the chewing of our mansion, the family's income is not much, but the degree of food and clothing in human exchanges, which does not cost a thousand gold? Over the years, my mother has been using her dowry to make up for it, and now you are going to enter the court as an official, and you can't get through the joints with less money, how clean do you really think you are? How noble? โ
Seeing the woman's hysterical appearance, Tan Bixing only felt extremely tired, he shook his head with a miserable smile, "You're right, no one in our family can be clean, and it is the best choice for the righteous brother to cut off the relationship with the Tan Mansion." โ
Turning his head to look at his father, who was stiff and seemed to be a teenager old, he continued, "Dad, don't interfere in the affairs of the Fuguo Marquis Mansion in the future, the righteous brother treats his sister-in-law sincerely, and the two of them have just had a son, it is the time when they are the most happy, why should they veto a person because of the opinion of the family?" โ
After that, Tan Bixing didn't look at the blood relatives standing in the room, and rushed out.
Fang just vented, although the depression in Tan Yuanqing's heart dissipated, he couldn't help but be a little frightened.
Turning her head to look at her father and mother with a solemn face, she bit her lip and took the initiative to admit her mistake, "Liansheng's matter is that her daughter is reckless, if I had known that Chu Qinghe would do this, I would not push him further and further for the sake of gold and silver vulgar things." โ
Tan Zheng shook his head slowly, his eyes were full of disappointment, "Yuan Qing, you are really confused, Qinghe is the Marquis of Fuguo, but you can't do things that go against your heart because of power, people have a bottom line, the line you set for yourself at the beginning, as long as you cross it once, there will be a second and third time, Dad hopes that you will stand upright, and don't be stumped by these ghostly means." โ
I thought that my father would reprimand him sharply, but he just waved his hand and let himself go down with his mother.
When he walked out of the study, Tan Yuanqing's heart was blocked, and he couldn't tell what it felt.
Mrs. Tan gently patted her daughter's back and soothed softly, "That's it, Chu Qinghe has already had a different heart, and it is not a bad thing to completely draw a line, as for the silver taels that are needed, the mother's dowry is enough, you don't have to worry about it." โ
