Chapter 298 Way out

Qin Er reached out and touched his face. There were a few bumps on his already smooth face.

"Brother, why do you have a rash again? It seems to be worse than last time!" Qin Jingshu said.

Qin Er originally didn't go out for a long time because of a rash. Now when he heard this, he suddenly panicked and said, "Okay, why are you up again? I obviously don't dare to eat anything, why..."

Before Qin Er finished speaking, he saw Niu Niu and Shen Ling not far away looking at him with doubtful eyes. He didn't dare to stay here any longer and ran away.

The beautiful maid carrying the tray breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, Sister Zisu, go and do your work."

Qin Jingshu recognized the maid from her eldest brother's yard. Maybe there were too many guests today and there were not enough people to serve her. Even the people in her yard were temporarily requisitioned.

When Qin Jingshu turned back, she forced a smile on her face and continued to lead the way: "Many people came to the waterside pavilion today, and the Lord Rongjia County also came. My second brother just came to look for the Lord Rongjia County."

Hearing the name of Rongjia County Lord, Shen Ling and Niu Niu couldn't help but frown.

When they entered the waterside pavilion, they saw a circle of girls surrounding Rongjia County Lord from a distance.

The Lord of Rongjia County naturally looked down upon Qin Er. In the entire Xianguo Palace, only Qin Jing could catch her eye. However, the person who saved her was Qin Er. She had no choice but to accept this marriage. According to her mother's words Although Qin Er was incompetent, Duke Xianguo was on the rise. Qin Jing had the style of his maternal ancestors, and was married to Song Ge’s hometown. With the support of Duke Xianguo and the two elders, it was only a matter of time before Qin Jing rose to prominence. .

By marrying Qin Er, the head of Rongjia County is tantamount to connecting King Qi with them. In the future, these people can help her brother compete for the throne.

Marrying down also has the advantage of being married down, and the principal in Rongjia County can live a more comfortable life after marriage.

After Rongjia County Lord figured it out, he became the proud County Lord with eyes above his head. He was also willing to go out to socialize and enjoy the treatment of being surrounded by stars.

"A Ling, you are late. Unfortunately, you didn't see how the second young master of Qin was so courteous to Rong Jia just now. He sent people to give him food and drinks, as if he was afraid that Rong Jia was thirsty and hungry. "Jiucheng County Lord joked with a smile.

Shen Ling always felt that this was a strange thing to say. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was really joking or insinuating that Qin Er would only do such worthless things.

The head of Rongjia County was too lazy to think about it and said, "If he doesn't show his attentiveness, I won't even bother to pay attention to him."

Shen Ling saw that the head of Rongjia County thought that Qin Er had a deep love for each other, but he did not tell anyone about the scene he saw outside. Their marriage was caused by falling into the water. Unlike Sister Li, they could not break off the engagement casually.

While talking, Shen Ling happened to see Li Shuyun, who was leaning against the railing on the promenade not far away, throwing fish food into the water with a bored look on his face.

Although Shen Ling had a good relationship with Niu Niu, when she came out to attend the banquet, a big girl like her couldn't stay with two children all the time. When she saw that the head of Rongjia County did not continue to embarrass Niu Niu, she gave a few words of advice and said She walked towards Li Shuyun with her skirt on.

"Sister Li, wait a minute, the fish is almost full." Shen Ling said softly.

Li Shuyun lowered her head and looked at the lake. There were two fish inside that were so full that they were still fighting for food with other fish.

Li Shuyun took back her hand and said helplessly: "I was not careful for a moment and almost harmed them. It's a huge sin."

Shen Ling came to her side and asked in a low voice: "Sister Li, how is your marriage going?"

A trace of sadness flashed in Li Shuyun's eyes, she shook her head and said, "My grandfather was afraid that I would break off the engagement and affect other sisters' marriages."

It was Mr. Li Ge who made the final decision about the Li family. After hearing what she said, Shen Ling couldn't help but sigh with her.

"Is there really nothing you can do?" Shen Ling asked. Li Shuyun said: "My grandfather has made up his mind, I can't think of any way."

Two young girls sat opposite each other and looked at the fish swimming in the lake.

At this time, in the flower hall of the Xianguo Palace where female guests were received, the eldest princess and Mrs. Li were sitting together.

"Madam has raised a good daughter. I like that girl Shuyun very much. Have you ever gotten married?" the eldest princess asked with a smile.

Mrs. Li's mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, was not in good health today, so she did not attend the banquet at the Xianguo Palace. Mrs. Li rarely got so close to the eldest princess. When she heard this question, she couldn't help feeling frightened.

"Your Highness, I love you. Shuyun has already been married to Cui Yuan, the eldest son of Jing'an Prefecture." Mrs. Li replied.

The eldest princess frowned slightly when she heard this, and said with unclear meaning: "Jing'an Bo's Mansion, that's a pity."

The eldest princess and the emperor are siblings. If we talk about people who know the emperor well, she can be ranked in the top three.

Mrs. Li heard that something was wrong at this moment, and she was afraid that the emperor had some objections to Jing'an Bo Mansion.

"Your Highness, please make it clear that it is Jing'an Bo Mansion. Is there anything wrong with it?" Madam Li asked.

The eldest princess sighed and said: "How could a good daughter's family end up in such a wolf's den? Jing'an Bo's house is full of people who are willing to be turtle slaves. It's so messy that it doesn't look like it. Even the emperor's brother Privately, I lament that the family tradition is ruined, why didn’t Madam ask more about it in advance?”

When Mrs. Li heard this, her face suddenly turned pale and she couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, is this really the case?"

The eldest princess nodded lightly and said, "If I hadn't seen my Ah Ling become friendly with your Shuyun, I wouldn't be happy to be this evil person and say these few words. Once the marriage is done, Madam will pretend that she didn't listen to me. These."

Mrs. Li's figure is shaky. Who is the eldest princess? Naturally, she will not suspect that the eldest princess is lying.

"I am actually very curious. Your family has a pure and upright family background, and you don't normally interact with your lord's family. Why did you suddenly arrange this marriage for Shuyun?" the eldest princess asked softly.

Because of the foreshadowing of the previous words, Mrs. Li didn't have much guard against the eldest princess now, and replied: "Your Highness doesn't know something, and I didn't want to. One day, my father-in-law came back from having a drink outside and took a jade pendant as a token. , saying that he found a good home for Shuyun..."

When Mrs. Li said this, she almost burst into tears. Her daughter, whom she cherished so much, actually made a casual reservation at a wine shop. She was still such a sloppy family!

The eldest princess looked regretful again and said, "Originally, I still had some delusions, but now I don't want to talk about them. It's really a pity."

Mrs. Li seemed to be grasping a life-saving straw: "Your Highness, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

The eldest princess then said: "My son Changfeng was originally incompetent, but now he has finally made some progress. His master is Mr. Gu. As you know, he just won the top prize in high school."

Mrs. Li nodded. When she was at home, she had expressed her gratitude to Shen Changfeng for his good luck. She never thought that within a month, he would become the top scholar in high school. How could such a coincidence happen in the world.

"His master only has one disciple, Chang Feng. I was originally afraid that Chang Feng would fail to live up to expectations and make Master Gu angry, but I never thought that Master Gu loves Chang Feng very much. He always said that Chang Feng had not found the right path in the past. Now Chang Feng people He is also making progress, and his master praises him for his great future."

Mrs. Li was envious. As a parent, all she wanted was for her children to be successful. The Li family was heir to the imperial examination and respected scholars the most.

The eldest princess felt that it was almost done, and Tu Qiong said: "I'm not afraid of Madam's jokes. I love this girl Shuyun very much. I thought that if Changfeng becomes more promising, I will come to propose marriage for him, for fear that he is not worthy of Shuyun." Yun, who could have imagined that it would be the result of such a secret investment? I can't sleep at night when I think of this."

Mrs. Li's eyes suddenly lit up.
