Chapter Eighty-Six: She Doesn't Want It
The old lady ignored Jiang Juan, and did not question Xu, but leaned over to look at Bai Nan's injury and asked, "I heard that the third son's arm is broken?" ”
Although Madame Bai was indignant, she still had a little respect for the old lady, and hummed: "Thanks to the son, my son's arm is useless." ”
The old lady breathed a sigh of anger and turned her head to glance at Song Huaijin.
Song Huaijin was shrinking in the corner of the crowd at this time, and after meeting the old lady's sweeping gaze, he was afraid that the old lady would blame her in public, so he hurriedly rushed to the old lady.
He said urgently: "Grandmother, my grandson has already realized his mistake and apologized, and the matter has been reconciled." ”
The old lady was arrogant, and when she heard this, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "How did you reconcile?" ”
Song Huaijin was stunned, a little weak-hearted: "The third prince has admired his sister for a long time, and he said that as long as his sister is willing to marry him, the two families will be a family, and this matter will be settled." ”
Xu hurriedly came up and said in a good voice: "Mother, Mrs. Bai is generous, and it just so happens that the two children are also in love, and he has fulfilled a good thing, right?" ”
The old lady frowned, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Song Wanru suddenly rush in, and said urgently: "No, it's not like this, I don't know him, how can I fall in love?" ”
When Bai Nan saw Song Wanru appear, his eyes instantly turned greedy, but he quickly returned to his serious appearance.
"How could Second Miss Song forget it so quickly?"
He struggled to half-prop himself up, and said aggrievedly: "You and I met on Dongtou Street that day, and besides, you gave me a purse at that time, isn't this enough to prove your intentions?" ”
After he finished speaking, he showed a purse to everyone.
Seeing that the embroidery of the purse needle was all from Song Wanru's handwriting, she remembered that she walked happily that day, and she didn't know that she had lost the purse.
"It's too far-fetched to use a purse to prove your intentions."
Song Wanru was instantly stimulated by her purse, she didn't care too much, got up and rushed to the old lady and cried: "Grandmother, I don't want to marry, beg grandmother not to let me marry!" ”
She cried so hard that the Qian family also stepped forward to cater to her, and she saw that Mrs. Bai and the third son's faces were blue.
After feeling Madam Bai's anger, Xu hurriedly said sharply: "The Bai family and the Hou Mansion are originally in-laws, how can you be wronged if you marry and have the help of your eldest sister?" ”
The old lady frowned, she confirmed that this marriage was forced by the two parties to Song Wanru, and it was also the plan of the third son of the Bai family.
Everyone in the capital knows how the third prince is a person, and the old lady is naturally reluctant to marry her granddaughter.
But she didn't expect that even the old lady could see the misdeeds of the Bai family, and she didn't want to agree, and the Xu family actually finalized it privately.
It's so disappointing.
The old lady was in a panic, she motioned to her grandmother to help her sit down, and secretly relieved herself for a few breaths before she said in a deep voice: "I don't agree with this marriage." ”
Xu Shi was suddenly shocked, "Mother, this ...... This has already been decided, how can there be any reason to regret it? ”
The old lady swept towards Xu's sharply, and there was no more love on her face, "You just discussed verbally, and you didn't get hired or sign the marriage letter, why can't you change your mind?" ”
Xu's words were stopped, and his heart was so anxious that he couldn't do it.
If she can't comply with the Bai family's wishes, the matter of the broken arm will have to continue to be tossed, and she will have to spend energy and money, which is really painful.
Sure enough, Mrs. Bai sneered when she saw the old lady's resolute face, "Old Madam Hou, you can think about it, if the two families don't get married, they can't be considered a family, and my son's crippled arm can't be counted!" ”
Xu was anxious, and wanted to intercept the old lady's words immediately, but she didn't dare, so she could only insist.
"It's one thing for two families to get married, it's another thing to be responsible for the third son, I don't agree to get married, but I'm willing to take responsibility for what the son has done."
She suddenly became angry and said seriously: "Say, how do you want the Hou Mansion to be responsible for this matter?" ”
Hearing this, Bai Nan struggled to stand up again, and said sharply: "My left arm is useless, and I can't take care of myself in the future, so I don't want the second girl." ”
Oh, not to mention that the two are in love at this time.
The old lady had a calm face, and her tone was firm but kind, "I will send a few handmaidens from the Bai family to serve in the past, so as to ensure that the third son will live a worry-free life in the future." ”
Madame Bai snorted angrily: "My son is seriously injured physically and mentally, and you plan to use a few handmaidens to send it away?" I disagree! ”
The old lady took a sharp breath and sighed: "The maidservant is only part of the mind, the Hou Mansion will give the silver as compensation, let's say, how much do you want?" ”
"Heh, do you think the Bai family is rare for this bit of silver? My son's physical and mental injuries can actually be dealt with for a few taels of silver? ”
Mrs. Bai had a cold face and said unrelentingly: "Since the old lady has no intention of getting close to the Bai family, then we will not be merciful, so we have to report to the yamen." ”
Xu didn't want this matter to make a big fuss, so he hurriedly said: "Madam Bai, this matter is something the Hou Mansion has done wrong, we can solve it privately, why make it known to everyone?" ”
Mrs. Bai glanced at the old lady and said coldly: "If it is private, then it is the way to get married, otherwise there is no need to discuss." ”
"Old lady, although my son is stubborn, but he is a son-in-law, and he will inherit the family business in the future, the second girl is just a concubine, and she is more than enough for my son, why do you refuse?"
Oh, is this a question of worthiness or unworthiness? The old lady takes a fancy to a man, as long as the two get along harmoniously, even if the noble daughter of the Hou Mansion marries low, she will agree.
"The second girl will not marry."
The old lady looked at Madame Bai firmly, and said word by word: "If you make trouble with the Yamen, the government will also sentence the Hou Mansion to compensate the silver, so if you insist on tossing, the Hou Mansion will accompany you." ”
Mrs. Bai's face froze, the old lady of the Hou Mansion actually protected the girl of the Song family like this.
Seeing this, Bai Nan let it go.
"I'm a devastated person now, and the government will only award some silver as compensation, but if I die, how should the government sentence me?"
He flashed a cold light, spotted the tea set and smashed it on his head.
With blood dripping on his forehead, he shook his body and sneered: "The prince of the Hou Mansion beat people down, but the Bai family came to ask for an explanation but was murdered, the Hou Ye is an important minister of the court, you say, this matter goes to the emperor, what will happen to the Hou Mansion?" ”
Everyone was stunned when they saw this, and they all froze in place and forgot to move.
The old lady's face turned even pale, and she grabbed Mama's arm and murmured, "Crazy, just crazy!" ”
"Son, are you alright, son!"
Mrs. Bai also panicked, she hurriedly went to help, but it happened that the third son's body was crooked and fell.
Madame Bai's eyes widened suddenly, and she shouted "son" several times but there was no response, and she was completely annoyed.
"The Hou Mansion deceived people too much, and forced my son to death!"
The old lady's mind turned white, and she hurriedly shouted at Jiang Juan: "Aunt Jiang, go and show him!" ”
