Chapter 228: My cousin comes to help
As soon as Mrs. Luo returned to the Cen Mansion, Mrs. Xuanping called her and asked her about her situation in the Zheng Mansion.
Mrs. Luo explained the situation again, and then asked, "Auntie, is something wrong with the Zheng family?" β
In the Zheng family just now, although she didn't know why, she could also see that she didn't mention the next hire, and Mrs. Zheng not only did not blame, but faintly felt relieved.
Mrs. Xuanping asked Mrs. Luo not to mention the divorce, because she didn't want the Luo family to be infamous for regretting their marriage. Because she heard that Zheng Wanru was making a lot of trouble at home, the Zheng family would definitely not be able to help but repent of the marriage first.
However, under this question, it was found that Mrs. Zheng was very calm, and she had been talking nonsense when she saw Mrs. Luo, and she had no intention of regretting her marriage at all.
Helpless, she had to tell the matter of the hunting ground again, and said: "We have investigated this matter for a long time, and we know that the girl of the Zheng family instructed the head of Jianing County to do it behind her back. The reason is that she likes her cousin of the Peng family, and the two seem to have some heads. For this reason, we have retired from the Peng family. β
Mrs. Luo was not very familiar with the people and things in Beijing, and after several turns in her mind, she realized that the "cousin of the Peng family" in the mouth of Mrs. Xuanping Hou was Cen Ziman's former fiancΓ© Peng Yuzhang.
She gasped.
No wonder the Zheng family is such a prominent family, but they want to marry their daughter-in-law to the son of a fifth-grade official in a foreign country, it turns out that they have an affair with their betrothed cousin.
Thinking about it like this, she couldn't help but be afraid. If he really marries Zheng Wanru and enters the door, won't his son have to wear a green hat on his head? When such a daughter-in-law enters the door, will she live with her son in peace? Look at her tricks, what a femme fatale! No matter what she wants to do at that time, my son may not be able to control her, let alone her mother-in-law. The scene of a peaceful day without a home. It's scary for her to think about.
At this time, she regretted her stubbornness immensely.
If he had agreed to his son marrying Xia Jin, the family would be staying in Linjiang now. The son is already very filial, and the Xia Jin, who married into the door, has a low rank and can't afford to put on a shelf, so he will naturally serve her as a mother-in-law, and when the time comes, he will have a big fat boy again, and the family will live in harmony with the United States. Wouldn't you want to envy Aunt Zhang and Luo Weitao, who has always treated her coldly?
Days like this. It's fascinating to think about.
But everything ruined her stubbornness.
The old lady Xuan Pinghou on the other end didn't know that her mind was open, and she had already thought of a far away. She knew very well that this nominal niece had some "shafts" in her brain and was prone to twisting. Busy and said: "I didn't tell you this at first, because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to control your temper, and you brought it out in the Zheng family's words." Although Miss Zheng misbehaved, she was the power of the Zheng family. It's not something you can afford to offend. At that time, not only Lord Luo, but also Brother Qian's future will be affected. β
She said this. is well aware that Luo Qian is Mrs. Luo's weakness.
"Originally, I expected Mrs. Zheng to propose to withdraw her relatives first, so that you don't have to be a villain. But looking at the Zheng family's situation now, it seems that something is not good. β
Speaking of this, she said to Mrs. Luo very apologetically: "Alas. It's also that I'm so confused that I don't even know that Miss Zheng is such a person. If I hadn't been in this family business, it wouldn't have affected you. It's got to the point where it goes. In this way, I will invite Mrs. Zheng over in a hurry. You tell her about Brother Qian'er's situation, and I'll knock on the side. What her girl did, I think she also knows in her heart, the reason why we regret our marriage does not need to be explained, I think she also understands. No matter how thick-skinned she is, she won't dare to blame you. β
It would be great not to offend the Zheng family in this way. Mrs. Luo stood up and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, aunt." β
The Zheng family's affairs are expected to be properly resolved, and she should have relaxed and rested. But when I think of my son, I can't feel at ease. After staying in the guest house and fidgeting for a while, she went to Xia Jin again, wanting to grind her to write a letter to Luo Qian: "Don't write the words of letting him come back, just tell him that I came to the capital to find you, and agreed to your marriage." He is such a big person, he is naturally measured, and he will definitely find a proper excuse to come back quietly and not let people impeach him. β
As soon as this letter was written, it indicated that he agreed to marry Luo Qian. But Xia Jin was really upset with Mrs. Luo, and had no confidence in her future married life, so she refused to write.
Cen Ziman saw that Mrs. Luo was old and pestered Xia Jin, once Xia Jin let go, it would be the wife of the Luo family.
She was very anxious.
When she was in Linjiang, she only felt that Xia Jin had a more refreshing personality and was easier to get along with than those pretentious ladies, so she was willing to play with her. Later, the more I got in touch, the more I felt that she was like an old wine, the more she tasted it, the more mellow she became, and her skills were even more surprising, and she didn't have the habit of being self-righteous at all. She not only likes Xia Jin now, but also admires her from the bottom of her heart. She can instantly make up her mind to marry Xia Qi, and Xia Jin can be said to be a lot of plus points in it.
Such a mentor and friend, of course, she hopes to be closer to herself and stay in the capital to be with her for a long time. And in terms of marital happiness, she thinks that it is better for Xia Jin to marry Su Muxian than to marry Luo Qian. Luo Qian has such a mother, no matter how good and hard he is, he is not a good belonging.
Now that she knows that Xia Jin is quite hesitant emotionally, she naturally wants to help her cousin.
She immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Su Muxian, in which she concisely explained Luo Qian's entanglement with Xia Jin and Mrs. Luo's intentions.
Su Muxian is not on duty in front of the emperor for the time being, and he has been newly appointed, that is, the leader of the rebellion investigation team, leading more than a dozen masters of the inner world, disguised as people of various professions, to take turns to monitor the Yanwang Mansion and the Peng Mansion, in order to get evidence and catch them all. So his time is relatively free.
After receiving Cen Ziman's letter, he was shocked and hurried to Xuanping Houfu. But when he arrived at the gate of the house, he hesitated again. Xia Jin didn't admit anything to him, he went in like this, for fear that he would make Xia Jin unhappy again.
After thinking about it, he turned around and rode his horse, went to the most famous Furong Zhai in the capital to buy some snacks, and then returned to Xuanping Houfu, and after calling the maid to report, he went directly to Cen Ziman's courtyard.
At this time, Mrs. Luo was still staying in Xia Jin's house and refused to leave.
"Cousin, why are you here?" Cen Ziman pretended to be surprised and greeted him affectionately.
Su Muxian raised the snack in his hand high: "I heard that you are in a bad mood, come and comfort you." β
"Ah, Furong Zhai's dim sum, I love to eat it." Cen Ziman happily took the dim sum, turned his head and instructed the maid, "Hurry up and invite Miss Xia out for a snack." β
The courtyard is so big, and the voices of Su Muxian and Cen Ziman are not low, Xia Jin naturally heard these words in the house.
She was tired of Mrs. Luo in her heart, but in the Cen family, she didn't want to speak ill of her. Now when she heard Cen Ziman tell her to go out for a snack, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "Miss Cen called, let's go out." β
Without waiting for Mrs. Luo's reaction, she went out.
Mrs. Luo had to go out.
Cen Ziman had already asked people to move the table out, put on the snacks that Su Muxian had bought, and made tea, just waiting for Xia Jin and Mrs. Luo to come out.
When Mrs. Luo came out, she introduced her and Su Muxian, mainly to introduce Su Muxian's new identity: Wu'an Houye.
When he was in Linjiang, Su Muxian naturally met Mrs. Luo. But at that time, he was still a prince, and although his status was high, he was not a serious title. Mrs. Luo is Cen Ziman's turning elder, so he relied on Cen Ziman and performed a junior salute to Mrs. Luo.
If he has already ascended the knighthood, Mrs. Luo will have to give him a salute. For this old woman who came to rob her daughter-in-law from her, Su Muxian naturally would not be polite, and really accepted Mrs. Luo's gift.
"Come, sit down and have a snack." After seeing the ceremony, Cen Ziman beckoned everyone to sit down, took a piece of dim sum and put it on the plate in front of Mrs. Luo, handed another piece to Xia Jin, and said with a smile, "You taste it, see if there is any dim sum in your shop." This Furong Zhai is the most famous dim sum shop in the capital, and the dim sum made is not only delicious, but also very expensive. β
Seeing that there was something delicious, Xia Jin was naturally very happy, picked up the dim sum and tasted it carefully, nodded and said: "My dim sum is not worse than this, and the taste is different." But when it came to novelty, mine was the better one. β
"Haha." When Su Muxian heard this, he laughed, revealing his white and neat teeth, "You are really not modest and polite at all. β
His handsome smile is very pleasing to the eye on this bright spring afternoon, which makes people feel good at first sight.
Xia Jin was annoyed by Mrs. Luo, and her mood was already depressed. Seeing Su Muxian's bright smile, his mood suddenly relaxed, glanced at him, and said, "I'm telling the truth, okay?" This hibiscus rouge cake, although the filling is different, there are some differences in taste, but the shape and taste are also a kind of cake, which is commonplace. My dim sum, fluffy cakes, and creamy and delicious cream, who else have you ever seen who can make them? β
"Yes, yes, your dim sum is the most novel, I said the wrong thing, I am here with Miss Xia, I hope the girl will not be like a villain." Su Muxian stood up and waved at Xia Jin.
Cen Ziman laughed from the side.
"Seriously." Su Muxian straightened his face, sat down and said to Xia Jin seriously, "Let's open another restaurant and pastry shop in the capital." β
Cen Ziman was stunned for a moment, and then clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, okay, this couldn't be better." β
Saying that, she turned Xia Jin with her elbow: "In Linjiang, you helped us make a lot of money, this time we don't need you to pay the capital, you just need to take out the craftsmanship, the stock is still three, three, four, I and my cousin are three, you take forty." β
Xia Jin still looked indifferent. Slowly swallowing the snack in his mouth, he nodded and said, "Okay, just do it." (To be continued)
