Chapter 088: Flat Wife
And Su Daiyun woke up after fainting, and the whole person was in a state of madness.
After what happened last time, the eldest lady was afraid that Su Xiyun would play with her life again, and when Su Daiyun fainted, she immediately instructed the maid to put away the porcelain and other fragile things in her house, and some sharp things such as scissors were also put away by the eldest lady. At this moment, she was anxiously walking around in front of Su Daiyun's bed, and at the same time praying in her heart that the Qin family would never promise the Ministry of Rites.
But the eldest lady knew very well in her heart that the Bofu had gradually declined over the years, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu had gradually become a hot and powerful minister in the court in the past two years.
And once the Qin Mansion agrees, then Du Ruoyun is bound to marry into the Anguo Houfu, and he is definitely not a concubine.
What about her daughter Dai Yunke? I have been engaged, and I have passed four of the six ceremonies. The Qin family won't regret it at this time, right? The eldest lady was thinking worriedly, and didn't notice that Su Daiyun on the bed didn't know when she had gradually woken up.
"Mother, you go get paper and ink. I'm going to write. Su Daiyun exclaimed,
The eldest lady found that she had woken up, and as soon as she was overjoyed, she remembered the meaning of her words, and couldn't help frowning: "Daughter, who are you going to write to?" Qin Xiao? I won't allow you to do that! This is a very embarrassing thing, do you know? β
The most important thing is that if this letter falls into the hands of Mrs. Hou, Su Daiyun will inevitably have a frivolous reputation.
Su Daiyun glanced at the eldest lady and muttered, "Lose your identity? I'm going to lose my husband soon, what do I care? What else is there to care about? β
When the eldest lady heard this, she couldn't help but cry bitterly.
"Mother, hurry up and get it, it can't be of some use, otherwise, we can only wait at home to die." Su Daiyun urged.
The eldest lady was stunned for a while, and finally made up her mind and said, "Okay, my mother will bring it to you." So saying, the man withdrew.
Su Daiyun's pale and bloodless face finally showed a smile.
Xiao Lang, where are you? Do you know I'm thinking so much about you right now? Su Daiyun muttered.
What Su Daiyun didn't know was that Xiao Lang, who she was thinking about, was being blocked by Du Ruoyun on the mountain road at the moment, and she was in a dilemma.
"Miss Du, may I ask what you are doing here?" Qin Xiao said impatiently. He didn't dare to look at the woman in front of him, as soon as he saw the face of the bright spring flower, his heart suddenly flooded with a sour feeling, and the scene of that night also broke into his mind.
At that time, he said goodbye to Su Daiyun and came out of the Bofu, just as he wanted to go to Baiyun Nunnery to see the good play he directed, but unfortunately he met a few rich brothers when he left the Bofu, and was forced by the other party to go to the tavern to drink, they were all good friends, and he didn't want to refuse directly and went. Who knew that this time he would drink high.
By the time Qin Xiao staggered out of the tavern and rode to Baiyun Nunnery, the sun had already set in the west.
Although Qin Xiao is a pampered brother-in-law, he has some real skills, and there are still some differences between him and those who only know how to drink flower wine, the sun sets, and at this time he goes to Yun'an, unless he is a master of art and has superb riding skills, he can reach the nunnery before nightfall, otherwise, it is dark, the mountain is difficult to walk, and it is relatively easy to have accidents.
Qin Xiao didn't believe in this evil, so he didn't even bring a long follower at the moment, so he galloped to Baiyun Nunnery.
But it really made him rush to Baiyunan before nightfall.
It's a pity that Qin Xiao at this time was dizzy, and he had long forgotten the purpose of his visit, and he didn't know which wing his good friend Qi Junhan lived in.
Shaking his head, Qin Xiao felt that his head was getting more and more uncomfortable, so he asked the monk to arrange a side room for him casually, and fell asleep.
On the second day, Qin Xiao slept until noon before getting up, but at this time his head was very painful, and he still didn't have the energy to think about what happened yesterday, but he felt panicked staying in the room, so he staggered out of the wing room to go outside.
There is a small lake in Hakuyun-an. In this season, the flowers do not bloom, the birds do not come, and there are no people to play, but somehow, it is very lively there today, Qin Xiao looked over, and saw that there were many maids and ladies by the lake admiring the lake and mountains.
It's really superficial! What's so nice about this? A group of mentally handicapped women who only know how to dress up show off and seduce men! Just like that Su Xiyun! Qin Xiao snorted coldly in her heart.
"Hahaha, Miss Su, come and see! This stone is curious! The breeze slowly sent the words of the girls by the lake to the chatter, Qin Xiao didn't care about it originally, but as soon as he heard the word 'Miss Su', he suddenly turned his head. He seemed to remember something.
Thinking about it, Qin Xiao couldn't help but walk towards the lake.
Suddenly, there was a "poof!" from the lake. "With a sound, it seems, someone has fallen overboard. Qin Xiao heard many maids shouting for help there, he suddenly stopped and stopped going.
But at this moment, he was less than ten meters away from the lake, and many maids and ladies had already seen him, and at that moment, many people were desperately waving at him, telling him to go over and save people.
Qin Xiao's feet involuntarily walked towards that side, although there was always a voice in his heart telling him that he couldn't go! There will be trouble!
When he came to the shore, he saw a man fluttering in the lake, but he could not see who it was.
"Gong, go down and save people! Please! A little maid with tears on her face cried and begged.
Qin Xiao glanced at the dirty lake, and really didn't want to jump down, but at this moment, his calf suddenly hurt, and the whole person involuntarily threw himself into the lake, just falling next to the drowning man, who immediately hugged him tightly like a koala.
Ignoring who the person who was tightly wrapped around him like an octopus, Qin Xiao was frozen by the cold and biting lake water. At that moment, the instinct for survival made him work hard to drag the person who was tightly wrapped around him towards the shore, in fact, it was not far from the shore, but I don't know if it was because the person in his arms sank or what, Qin Xiao still took a lot of effort to walk back to the shore.
The maids and ladies who were guarding the shore all rushed up at once, separating Qin Xiao from the woman who had passed out in his arms, handing things to those who handed things, wiping them away, and after a while, the women carried the unconscious woman away.
Qin Xiaole's no one cares. It was really uncomfortable to wear soaked clothes, and he was too busy to go back to the wing room to change clothes.
After changing her clothes, Qin Xiao went out to inquire about the whereabouts of Su Xiyun and her party, but was told that she had left the temple early this morning.
There was a feeling of loss in his heart, Qin Xiao didn't know what his loss was like that at the moment, since Su Xiyun had already left, and Qi Junhan couldn't find it, it was not interesting for him to stay here alone. So Qin Xiao rode down the mountain with great interest.
Who knew that as soon as he returned home, the matchmaker invited by the Ministry of Rites had already arrived.
Qin Xiao was still wondering, and the matchmaker had already told Marquis Qin about what happened in Baiyun Nunnery.
Let's go! Qin Xiao's jaw fell to the ground, what? The girl he saved yesterday was Du Ruoyun, the daughter of the Ministry of Rites? That's a coincidence, right?
The matchmaker didn't understand the ugliness on his face, and was still talking endlessly: "At that time, the daughter of Lord Zuo of the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, and the daughter of Lord Wang Shangshu...... These people were all present, and everyone could see clearly that it was Gong Qin who rescued Miss Du and personally fished her out of the lake......"
"Since I saved her life? She doesn't say thank you, what do you ask you to do? Qin Xiao said coldly. He was really tired of listening to this matchmaker's chatter.
The matchmaker's words came to an abrupt end.
The room was suddenly extremely quiet, and Qin Xiao's still cold face was in stark contrast to Qin Houye's helplessness.
This disobedience actually caused such a thing for him! Why did Du Ruoyun fall into the water just ask him to catch up? If he hadn't decided to marry yet, this matter would have been easy to do, but he had already made a marriage! How do I do that? It's not okay to offend Du Ruhai, but it's not okay to go back and make Bofu dissatisfied, how can this be good?
"Gong Qin is really joking." The matchmaker sneered.
"Please go back! I won't marry Du Ruoyun, you let her die of this heart! Qin Xiao said coldly.
As soon as these words came out, before the matchmaker could say it, Qin Hou Ye was furious: "You bastard!" Get the hell out of here! There's no place for you to talk here! β
Seeing that his father was not angry, Qin Xiao turned his head and glanced at the matchmaker coldly, then got up and went in.
Qin Hou Ye hurriedly smiled and said, "Please don't mind, the dog is this temper, we don't have to worry about him, I'm here." It's not his turn to call the shots. β
"That's, that's." The matchmaker said with a haha.
She saw Qin Xiao's refusal, Qin Hou Ye was like thunder, and immediately deeply regretted that she was greedy for silver to come this time, originally in her opinion, although this family matter will have some twists and turns, it will definitely be done in the end, but after this set, she changed this idea.
It is rumored that Miss Su is so shameless that she actually had a tryst with her fiancΓ© in broad daylight and did shameless things. But this matchmaker can see clearly, a slap can't make a sound, this Miss Su is very favored by Duke Qin. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met her alone.
At this moment, he personally rejected the Du family's proposal, although it didn't count. The matchmaker thought that after she went back, she must explain this matter to the Prime Minister's Mansion in detail.
After the matchmaker left, Qin Houye went to Qin Xiao's Courtyard in person, scolded him fiercely, and forced him to marry Du Ruoyun.
"What about Dai Yun? The person I like is her! Qin Xiao said in pain.
Marquis Qin glanced at it, sighed and said, "Then the girl of the Su family is married to you in front, so let's do it, she will be the wife, and Miss Du will be the wife!" β
When Qin Xiao heard this, her eyes widened suddenly, but she didn't say anything.
"Enjoy the blessings of all people, son, you should think about it, my father can only help you get here," Qin Hou Ye patted Qin Xiao's shoulder, probed and turned away.
Qin Xiao locked herself in the room and didn't come out for a long time.
The first thing he did when he came out was that he proposed to Marquis Qin that he was going to the south to stay for half a year. Hou's hometown is there.
"Son, have you really figured it out?" Marquis Qin looked at him deeply and said.
Qin Xiao nodded solemnly.
"Okay, you can go if you want, and I will personally explain the matter of the postponement of the wedding to the emperor." Qin Hou Ye said.
When Qin Xiao heard this, a look of pain flashed on his face, he didn't like that Du Ruoyun, but what his father said was also reasonable, if he didn't marry her, I am afraid that what was waiting for that woman would be to become a nun or commit suicide and die, and she would never be able to marry someone else in this life.
He didn't like Du Ruoyun, but he couldn't bear to see that she could only end up like this because of herself.
Anyway, marrying back the right should be a decoration, his Daiyun is a reasonable woman, I'm afraid I won't blame him for this.
Qin Xiao thought very openly, but he didn't know that the reasonable woman in his mouth hated him to death. He also took it for granted that as long as he went out to avoid the limelight, these things would be handled after a while.
It's a pity that he just rode out of the capital in a carriage with his luggage, and he was stopped by Du Ruoyun after walking less than half a mile of mountain.
Looking at this beautiful woman in front of him, who was as beautiful as a flower, no less than Su Daiyun, Qin Xiao was in a trance in his heart, was it really Du Ruoyun who he rescued from the cold lake that day? It's a pity that her cloudy black hair covered her cheeks that day, and he didn't see what she looked like at all.
"The big wedding is coming, are you going to run away from the marriage?" The woman in the carriage on the opposite side threw out this sentence, but it instantly made Qin Xiao angry: "Which eye did you see that I ran away from marriage?" Besides, my father has already postponed the marriage contract, and I went outside before I got married, which is understandable! β
"Really? It's a pity that your father's movements are slow, my father has already reported this family matter to the saint, and the saint is very happy, and he specially ordered us to get married early. Du Ruoyun said slowly. But every word he said was like a sharp dagger stuck in Qin Xiao's heart. "You, are you telling the truth?" Qin Xiao asked painfully.
Du Ruoyun in the carriage saw this scene, her expression changed, and her body seemed to lean forward, but her words were still so harsh: "Nature is true." The world should go back with us! Otherwise, it will be even harder to wait for the people sent by the Hou Ye to chase you. The implication is that you don't make any more trouble, otherwise, it will be even more difficult for things to end.
Qin Xiao's face suddenly darkened.
