C47

That. Night. Jiang Wan slept extremely disconsolately, and after a few nightmares, she could no longer sleep.

She stood in front of the window, looking up at the white sky. Sometimes she really wanted to turn herself into a bird so that she could flap her wings and fly out of the cage.

And this … There was also the Qin family who hadn't slept well that night.

Ever since she had heard Mother Du talk about it, she had felt that Jiang Zhuzhe had been set up by someone.

She got up from the bed, parted the teeth-colored curtain and shouted to the outer room, "Mother Du, prepare the carriage! "I want to go to the Yongsheng house."

At the Marquis' Mansion, the maid on night duty had just opened the black paint corner of the door when she heard the sound of a horse bell ringing in the distance. She curiously looked over and saw a black painted horse-headed carriage heading towards her direction.

If it was any other day, there would be many carriages that would pass by, so the old woman on duty didn't mind. She forcefully brushed off the white ash on her body and was about to enter the room when she heard someone say from behind, "This old sister, please inform me that Mrs. Jiang San from Sansui Lane has come to visit Mrs. Cao."

So early?

The old woman looked at the sun in the east with some hesitation, then looked at the woman in a brocade dress with a bun. Her face was full of shrewdness, and it could be seen that she was a capable manager's mother.

"At this time, I'm afraid the secret chamber has yet to remove the key …" That old woman said with a troubled expression.

Mother Du also smiled and took two steps forward, affectionately holding that old woman's hand: "So, you still need to make elder sister trouble."

The old woman paused for a moment and secretly weighed the crushed silver in her hand. In the blink of an eye, she smiled and said, "Then I'll help you run errands."

Mother Du smiled and nodded. Looking at the figure of the old woman as she left, she secretly cursed in her heart, "Seeing money makes eyes". She then turned around and went to the side of the black-painted horse-headed carriage.

née Qin opened the door and poked her head out. "How is it?"

Mother Du sighed. "I'm afraid we're too early. I'm afraid Lady Cao hasn't woken up yet."

"Why didn't you come earlier? What if she had something to do and left?" "You don't even know, I didn't sleep well last night because of this. As long as I think of such a good marriage, it will fall on Wan girl's head, and I will have angina."

After saying this, the Qin family even touched their chests, as if their hearts were aching again.

When Mother Du saw this, she could not help but comfort her, "I'm sure this Madam Cao was also cheated by the rumors. Madam, you can just go and explain the situation to her."

Nodding, she looked at Mother Du and said, "I think so too."

With that, she pulled a pillow behind her, closed her eyes, and said, "I'll go back to sleep for a while. You can call me when that old woman has replied."

Mother Du respectfully complied, also standing in front of the gatehouse at the corner of the door, looking forward to it.

After waiting for the time it took to have a meal, he saw that old woman slowly walking out of the courtyard.

After cursing "old thing" in her heart, Mother Du wore a smile on her face and went up to welcome her. "Old sister, would madam be willing to meet my wife?"

The woman looked at her mother with a troubled expression. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Madam said that I will get dizzy if I get up today. I don't want to see anyone. Please come back another day."

"Madame Cao, are you dizzy?" Mother Du asked in surprise, "But is it serious? "My wife specially brought a root of thirty-year-old ginseng today. How about you ask my elder sister to come again?"

Seeing that there was no one by her side, she whispered, "I'm not lying to you people, don't waste your time today. I just went in to see, Madame was just sitting there drinking congee …"

The meaning in his words was that dizziness was only an excuse for Madam Cao not wanting to see him.

Mother Du looked at the black painted carriage with difficulty, thinking that if today's matter was not done properly, the lady's heart would probably be in turmoil again.

"Are we really unable to reconcile?" Mother Du looked at the woman as she pleaded.

"Aiya, big sister, don't make things difficult for me. I am only a gatekeeper." The woman quietly withdrew her hand and stroked her hair. "We can't decide. We can't be home!"

When Mother Du heard this, she also knew that it was useless speaking any further with the old woman guarding the door. She dejectedly climbed onto the carriage and woke up Madam Qin, who was sleeping soundly. She said in a rather euphemistic manner: "Madam Cao is not feeling well today, and is inconvenient to see guests."

Inconvenient to see guests?

The Qin family was stunned for a moment. Their brain had yet to wake up from their chaotic sleep.

Madame Cao had sent someone to propose to the two families yesterday. Although she hadn't written back yet, it wasn't as if she was going to be so unruly in just one night.

Then it could be really uncomfortable.

After making this conclusion in her heart, she told Mother Du to return home and come back the next day.

However, after Lady Cao tactfully refused her three times outside the door, Madam Qin faintly felt that something was amiss.

She wanted to ask the gatekeeper a few questions, but that old woman's mouth was like a lock that had been placed on it. No matter what she asked, she didn't know.

The Qin family could only drive to the residence of the Ministry of Government to find out some information from Madam Huang. However, Madam Huang was even more confused, thinking to herself: Isn't it normal for two families to have a good marriage with each other before finding a middleman to take a walk around the house? Why did these two families, instead of getting out of the hole themselves, come to ask her?

Just as the Qin family was at a loss over what to do, they received news that the Marquis of Yongsheng had sent someone to propose marriage a few days ago. In the blink of an eye, he had made a marriage alliance with a Henglin Courtyard attendant.

In an instant, for the third time, the Jiang Clan from Three String Lane was pushed to the forefront of public opinion. However, this time, even more people were watching the show.

Lady Qin, whose forehead was covered with two pieces of dog skin paste, was lying on the kang on her side, letting out waves of faint moans. A humming sound.

Jiang Chuanzhong, who had just left the yamen, walked into the courtyard with a dark expression and clasped his hands behind his back. When the servants saw him, they all hastily bowed and avoided him, fearing that they might encounter some kind of disaster.

Jiang Chuzhong kicked aside the curtain covering Jun Yutang's door. When he saw the half-dead Qin family lying on the floor, the anger in his heart flared up even more.

"Get up!" He shouted at the Qin family, scaring the young maidservants who were waiting outside and in the corridor to hide.
