Not long after Shen Ziqiao returned to Qiao Xinyuan, she was called over by Mrs. Shen.
She asked Hongying to tidy up for her before she came to the De'an Courtyard. After entering the house, she realized that everyone from the Shen family had arrived.
Even Shen Ziyang, who had been hiding in his study for many days because he was going to take the imperial examination, appeared.
Mrs. Shen and Shen Xiao sat at the first place. They hadn't seen Mrs. Shen for a few days, but they found that she looked even more miserable and old, and her complexion had turned ashen as if the oil lamp was about to run out.
This is... Shen Ziqiao was startled, is the old lady dying soon
"Grandmother, father." Shen Ziqiao saluted politely, but wondered why everyone was called here today.
"Congratulations to our third lady. To be able to get the marriage bestowed by the emperor is really a blessing in three lifetimes." Shen Ziqiao was about to salute to Master Shen and his wife, but she heard that Zhou had already spoken in a sour tone.
Shen Ziqiao was taken aback, what's going on? Could it be that he provoked someone even when he was given a marriage
She looked at Shen Zixin who was behind the Zhou family, but she looked at herself complainingly, then lowered her head.
Master Shen Er smiled and said, "Being able to be married by the emperor is indeed Jiaojiao's blessing, why not Qi Zheng's blessing, to be able to marry us Jiaojiao, he is a lucky one."
Zhou curled her lips, and glared at Shen Ziqiao indignantly under her husband's warning eyes.
"At first, I wanted to worry about your marriage, but now that the emperor has given you a marriage, that's all. Tomorrow, daughter-in-law, you go to Anguo Gong's mansion in person and set the date." Mrs. Shen was in a daze. Chaotic, she didn't want to pay attention to so many things, but the emperor's bestowing a marriage was a major event, so she reluctantly made the decision and asked Zhou to take care of Shen Ziqiao's leaving the cabinet.
Shen Xiao said, "Mother, about Jiaojiao's marriage... I have already asked her aunt to come over. I am afraid that the younger siblings will not be able to take care of the big and small things in the family."
"It would be best to have help from the in-laws." Second Master Shen said hastily, and he didn't want the Zhou family to interfere in Shen Ziqiao's marriage.
Who knows if she will do anything from it.
"Congratulations to Miss San." Aunt Gao said to Shen Ziqiao seemingly sincerely, and the two aunts behind her also congratulated Shen Ziqiao together.
No matter how thick-skinned Shen Ziqiao is. After all, she was about to get married, but her cheeks still couldn't help turning red.
In Shen Zikai's eyes, he suddenly felt a lot of emotion when he looked awkward.
Unexpectedly, his little sister has also reached the age of marrying another woman, thinking back then. She was still so young, and she followed her all day long, her elder brothers shouting loudly, she looked so romantic that day. He still remembers it clearly.
Time flies like an arrow...
After a while, Mrs. Shen said that she was tired, so everyone saluted and dispersed. Shen Ziqiao originally felt that she had a lot to say to Shen Xiao. But meet people. But I don't know what to say.
In fact, she does not have a particularly deep father-daughter affection for Shen Xiao. In her mind, Shen Xiao is actually not as good as Shen Zikai, probably because she is not the real Shen Ziqiao. She has a serious cleanliness addiction. In the eyes of others, Shen Xiao did not remarry because of his deep affection for Pan Shi. She never thought that Shen Xiao was so kind to Pan Shi.
If you really love Pan Shi. How could he still care about those concubines and concubine's children? If he really loved Pan, how could he make her die of illness and exhaustion
Love is not manifested when the person is not around, and you never really thought about her when you were alive. When the person is dead, why are you pretending to be affectionate
Especially about Chen Xueling, she felt that Shen Xiao was very hypocritical and contrived, Pan couldn't protect her to live a comfortable life when she was alive, and even when she died, she couldn't really do anything for her.
Even his own daughter can't teach well.
The main reason why the deity would be eloped and killed by that bastard Sheng Peiyin was largely because of Shen Xiao's failure.
However, today she knew that in order to fulfill her and Qi Zheng, Shen Xiao actually asked for an order to disarm and return to the field...
How can you not be moved
It's just that she didn't know how to express these emotions.
Shen Xiao took Shen Zikai to the study.
Zhou Shi didn't know what to say at first, but was dragged away by Master Shen Er, who didn't let her say a word.
Shen Ziqiao looked at them suspiciously, then walked towards Shen Zixin, "Xin'er..."
"Congratulations." Shen Zixin said lightly, seeming very angry.
What's going on here? Shen Ziqiao froze for a moment, and reached out to hold her hand, "What's wrong with you? Did I mess with you somewhere, or was it because of your mother?"
Shen Zixin's complexion was not very good-looking, and she couldn't tell the reason for her anger at all.
"You really don't know or you don't know, you stole Xin'er's husband-in-law, and you're still pretending to be merciful here." Shen Ziyang's sarcastic voice sounded sharply, and he looked at Shen Ziqiao with disdain, "I know that the fourth sister is talking to Qi Zheng. Yiqin, you won the battle relying on your father, and you actually begged the emperor for grace, you are really shameless."
ah? Did Shen Zixin discuss marriage with Qi Zheng
Shen Ziqiao was surprised, and looked at Shen Zixin in surprise, "Do you like Qi Zheng?"
How can anyone ask such a question! Shen Zixin blushed with embarrassment, and glared at Shen Ziqiao angrily.
She had never met Qi Zheng, but she had heard it from her mother several times. Moreover, now everyone in the capital is not talking about this hero who saw the golden man's sweaty head on the battlefield. Is there any woman who doesn't like heroes
Mother said that Qi Zheng would be her future husband, and she was actually very happy in her heart. If she could really marry Qi Zheng, she would definitely be the envy of everyone in front of those best friends in the future.
Unexpectedly, when she was quietly waiting for the dust to settle, news came that the emperor had bestowed marriage on Shen Ziqiao and Qi Zheng.
She has always treated Shen Ziqiao as her own sister, but she did not expect Shen Ziqiao to rob her of her marriage today. Everyone in the family knows her, so what will they think of her in the future
Shen Zixin felt ashamed to die.
"Who in the family doesn't know that the fourth sister is worthy of Qi Zheng, you..." Shen Ziyang squinted at Shen Ziqiao, "What virtue and ability do you have, if it wasn't for your father, would the emperor give you a marriage?"
Shen Ziqiao looked at Shen Ziyang coldly, "Shut up! What's your business here, if you don't go back to study, you will cry if you fail."
"The most poisonous woman's heart, I have real talents and learning, even if you curse me every day for failing the rankings, I will still stand out." Shen Ziyang said angrily.
It was rare to talk to this idiot, Shen Ziqiao took Shen Zixin's hand and walked out.
Shen Zixin broke free from her hand, "What are you trying to do?"
"I didn't know that Second Aunt wanted to betroth you to Qi Zheng. If I had known earlier, I would have let you stop your mother." Shen Ziqiao said seriously. She had only returned to the capital for a few days, and she had other things in her heart. I really haven't heard of Zhou's falling in love with Qi Zheng as his son-in-law.
However, Shen Zixin misunderstood Shen Ziqiao's meaning, thinking that she was showing off on purpose, "Shen Ziqiao, what do you mean by that? Do you think that I am not as good as you, so I am not qualified to marry Qi Zheng? Don't forget, you have to Not Uncle, how could you have the emperor's gift of marriage, without the emperor's gift of marriage, would Qi Zheng have a crush on you?"
This is a bit too much...
Shen Ziqiao thought that Shen Zixin was the one who loved her the most in this family except Shen Zikai, but she didn't expect her to say such a thing.
In fact, she didn't really think highly of herself in her heart! Otherwise, how could he say that Qi Zheng didn't like her.
Wanting to explain that she and Qi Zheng knew each other from the beginning and that they liked each other, Shen Ziqiao couldn't say anything, and she smiled weakly, "You misunderstood, things are not what you think, even if there is no marriage, the facts will not change much go."
Without a marriage, Qi Zheng would not marry Shen Zixin.
Unfortunately, now Shen Zixin couldn't listen to Shen Ziqiao's explanation, "That's right, I don't have the father of a general, that's why I lost to you."
Shen Ziqiao hesitated to speak, shook her head and smiled, "You can think whatever you want."
"Hmph." Shen Zixin left with a flick of her sleeve.
…
…
Little Gu felt that she was going crazy, she even wanted to kill someone.
She never thought that the result of her calculation would be retribution on her son's head. Now that it's over, Mrs. Qi was alarmed before her mother's family knew how to explain it.
"...Are you not thinking about things? Don't think I don't know what you are planning. Do you think Brother Zheng can still be tricked by you now? Leaving Brother Zheng aside, Sister Dai is your niece. What is your heart? What did you do, that you can do such a shameless thing?" Mrs. Qi was already very disappointed with Xiao Gu, but now she is even more angry after learning what happened in the front yard.
Little Gu couldn't find the words to defend himself.
"Don't think that the master is not counting, you just escaped, you are still early." Seeing the disapproval in Xiao Gu's eyes, Mrs. Qi knew what she was relying on, and snorted coldly, only hating herself for being blind at the beginning , to bring such a scourge into the home.
"Mother, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have let people watch Miss Dai. If Miss Dai hadn't been walking around, such a thing would not have happened." Little Gu said.
She would never admit that there was something wrong with the anti-alcoholic medicine, and she would never admit that sister Dai's appearance in the front yard was deliberately done by her.
"Don't fool everyone for fools!" Mrs. Qi said, "Brother Zheng is about to marry a wife. The master and I don't want to hear something that shouldn't be spread in the family at this time. If it wasn't for this, you think Today's matter, can you just pass by like this?"
"Mother..." Little Gu still wanted to pretend to be wronged.
"Before Brother Zheng gets married, don't meddle in the affairs of the family. Take all the keys to the warehouses to me, and let the woman in charge come to me tomorrow." Mrs. Qi ordered in a deep voice, kindly The gentle face looked very serious at this moment.
However, Xiao Gu's face changed, "Mother, you are in poor health, so don't worry about the family."
"I can do what I say, why is it that my words are no longer used?" Mrs. Qi asked.
"No, no, mother, I'll get the key in a while." Little Gu lowered her head, with a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.
