Chapter 317 Twists and turns
Jiang Ning didn't know how to describe the marriage of the second wife of the Huang family. At first, he fell in love with the Bai family, but the Bai family collapsed. Now he falls in love with the Qi family. He thought that the Qi family and the Fan family were related by marriage, so the family tradition must not be the same. Question, I never expected that something like this would happen!
Zhao took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, forced a smile, looked at Zhong Mianmian, and asked, "Does this girl have a grudge against the Qi family?"
Zhong Mianmian didn't hesitate at all, and answered very simply, "Immortal hatred."
Zhao's brows were already frowning so much that they could kill a fly, but she still took a chance and continued to ask, "I wonder which family the girl is from? What grudges does she have with the Qi family?"
Jiang Ning looked at Zhao with pity and replied for Zhong Mianmian: "This is the granddaughter of Zhong Bohan, the dean of Quzhou Academy. Her mother is the eldest daughter of Fan Tongshu, and she is the biological sister of Mr. Qi."
Ms. Zhao felt like thunder was rolling over her head, and she almost fainted. Because she hadn't finished asking the questions she wanted to know, she forced herself to calm down, swallowed hard, and said in a trembling voice: "Since we are biological sisters, why..."
Zhong Mianmian snorted coldly, "My good aunt has always been jealous of my mother's good marriage and smooth life. Before I was born, she wanted to settle down with my mother to marry her. My grandfather didn't agree, so my aunt held a grudge against me. I was kidnapped when I was very young. Fortunately, I met Aunt Jiang, who saved me, otherwise I wouldn’t be where I am today!”
Zhao was so angry that she felt dizzy. She stood up suddenly, staggered and walked out.
Jiang Ning was afraid that something might happen to her, so she quickly asked Aunt Yu to follow her and take Zhao back to the house.
Zhong Mianmian didn't know why and was a little scared, "Madam, have I gotten into trouble?"
Zhao immediately told what happened on the Qi Family Passenger Ship, "This incident just happened not long ago, and it still needs to be investigated by the government. It will not spread widely until the results come out. We are far away in the capital and cannot know the situation in Quzhou at the first time." , if the Qi family deliberately concealed it, it would be even harder to know whether the matter was true or false.
Ms. Zhao was dizzy when she left the Guangenhou Mansion. She calmed down only halfway, gritted her teeth and ordered: "Turn around and go to the Second Master's Mansion."
During this period, the second wife of the Zhao family was about to get engaged because Huang Rou was about to get engaged. The house was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and even the faces of the servants were filled with joy.
Mrs. Huang's second wife, Mrs. Yao, saw Mrs. Zhao coming, and immediately came forward enthusiastically, holding her arm and saying to herself, "I was thinking about asking the shopkeeper of the cloth village to come over later and make some more clothes for Rou'er. You're here just in time. Help me pick out some ingredients."
Rou'er is the first girl in our family. As the eldest aunt, I must not watch her jump into the fire pit. The plan for now is to send someone to Quzhou Mansion to find out more about the grievances between the Qi family and the Zhong family. Do you understand the attitude of the Fan family? "
Their family has been reborn from the ashes after going through many hardships, and the two brothers are as close as if they were living together. There is no quarrel like in other families. They all say that a sister-in-law is like a mother. The words of Mrs. Zhao are very important in the hearts of the couple.
Jiang Ning gave her a reassuring smile, sighed silently, got up and went back to the house to send a message back to Quzhou Mansion.
Zhao's face was ugly and she refused to answer Yao's words. She stepped back and whispered: "Girl Rou's marriage is not going to work out. She cannot marry the Qi family."
Huang Zhengxu heard these words as soon as he entered the room, his face changed suddenly, and he asked without thinking, "Why did sister-in-law say this?"
Zhao asked, and the couple's faces turned pale.
Huang Zhengxu reacted and stamped his feet in annoyance, "The Qi family was still doing well when I went to Quzhou. Although the shipbuilding business was not as good as before, there were no other abnormalities. The young master of the Qi family was studying in Quzhou Academy again. I just wanted to break my head. I never imagined that these two families would have such a deep grudge!
Fortunately, fortunately, the marriage did not happen, and there is still room for change. "
"It's so good!" Mrs. Yao couldn't help but broke down and cried, slapping the table hard, "You promised me well before, saying that there would be no problem this time, and you also said that if your daughter is getting married, the Qi family will definitely I don’t dare to neglect her, I’ve said so much, but what’s the result? The good person you call is such a good person! Oh, why is my Rou’er so miserable!” Huang Zhengxu knew that he was in the wrong, so he drooped. Yao's head let Yao scold him and he didn't refute.
Mrs. Zhao felt uncomfortable in her heart as she patted Mrs. Yao's back and persuaded: "Fortunately, we only know that our girl is getting engaged, but I don't know which family it is. In my opinion, if we can find a suitable one in a short time, The family has decided to get married and just pretends that the Qi family’s incident didn’t happen.”
Yao also knew that crying at this time could not solve the problem, so he immediately put away his tears and choked up: "There is another candidate, but I am worried that my eldest brother will not agree."
"who?"
Yao looked a little hesitant. He subconsciously rubbed his handkerchief with his hands and gritted his teeth and said, "It's Vice General Wen who is reviewing."
“He still doesn’t give up?” Zhao was very shocked.
She also knew about Wen Xi. Before they were rehabilitated, Wen Xi had joined the army in the northwest. He had been promoted from a small cook to the position of deputy general by virtue of military merit. His ability was absolutely good, and he was highly valued by King Ding. , this time King Ding returned to the capital, and he was one of his entourage.
Logically speaking, such a person has nothing to hesitate when he falls in love with Huang Rou. However, the problem is that Wen Xi is already in his thirties and is a round older than Huang Rou. King Ding had tried to talk about it earlier, but was pushed away by Huang Zhengyang.
More than a year has passed since the incident, and the guy hasn’t gotten married yet?
Mrs. Yao nodded, and seeing that Mr. Zhao's face was not good, she quickly explained: "They didn't say anything. They just went to our restaurant every day after coming to the capital. They were very polite to us and gave us some gifts. But we were We don’t want it, but they only say it’s a specialty of the Northwest, so we can’t refuse.
Do you think he is so affectionate, as if he is determined to give up? "
Ms. Zhao had no choice but to let out a long sigh of relief and rubbed her brows tiredly, "Let's wait until the master comes back to talk about it, but the Qi family's marriage is definitely not going to work out, so let's break it off as soon as possible."
At the same time, Prince Rui, who had disappeared for several days, suddenly came to the Guangenhou Mansion with his people. He saw two little girls in their early ten years. The old man was so happy that he coaxed Yang Xiaohua and Zhong Mianmian to call them grandpa.
He was dressed simply today, without any airs of a prince, and the people he brought were also in casual clothes. No matter how knowledgeable these two little girls were, they could not guess his identity, so they called him grandpa without any burden.
Mr. Rui was overjoyed. When he saw Ah Yi approaching, he immediately shouted: "Son!"
Yang Xiaohua was shocked and turned pale. Her eyes moved back and forth between Prince Rui, A Yi and Jiang Ning. She stammered and asked, "Aunt, not only did you find your eldest brother, you also found your father? Have you told grandma about this?"
“Pfft!” Jiang Ning squirted tea all over, dumbfounded.
Mammy Yu hurriedly explained: "This is Mr. Ayi's godfather, yes."
“He’s just a bad old man!” Old Prince Rui interrupted.
Mama Yu’s face turned pale and she quickly shut up.
