The sun sets.
As night fell, lanterns were hung in the mansion.
In the small garden filled with plum blossoms.
Miss Qin Er, dressed in a plain white dress, was sitting in front of the eucalyptus table in the study, shaking her white hands as she held a pen and copied "Stories of the Three Kingdoms".
Two thin eyebrows seemed to be frowned but not frowned; the slightly pale cheeks had a hint of worry.
Writing calms the mind.
But at this moment, she couldn't calm down.
Only she and her brother-in-law knew the news brought by the second wife of Chengguo Mansion.
Didn't tell anyone.
Before leaving, her brother-in-law also told her not to tell anyone else for the time being.
Although she believed in her brother-in-law's ability, this matter was too dangerous after all. How could she not worry
Unfortunately, she was too weak to help her brother-in-law personally.
"Why… "
She sighed softly: "If I had the ability of the princess, my brother-in-law wouldn't have these troubles. For my brother-in-law, what use am I except chatting with him? I'm not as good as Xia Chan and Bai Ling, at least they are useful to my brother-in-law... I'm not even as good as Xiao Die, at least she is healthy and can serve my brother-in-law. And what about me? I don't know when I will fall down... For my brother-in-law, I am just a burden after all..."
The night breeze blew past the window, bringing the fragrance of flowers from the courtyard.
You can only smell it, but you can't touch it.
She put down her pen and was frowning as she thought about something when Qiu'er knocked on the door softly and said, "Miss, the Madam is here."
Then, footsteps came into the house and knocked on the door.
"Wei Mo, can mother come in?"
Song Ruyue's gentle voice came from outside the door.
Miss Qin Er came to her senses, waved away the complicated and messy thoughts in her mind, and said softly: "Mother, come in."
"Squeak..."
The door opened.
Song Ruyue walked in gracefully in a purple dress, frowning her thin eyebrows like hers, and asked unhappily, "Where's that brat? Why isn't he here with you?"
Miss Qin smiled and said softly, "My brother-in-law has gone back to study. It's almost the New Year, and the autumn exam is not far away. How can he have so much time to accompany me?"
Song Ruyue walked up to her, looked down at the writing on the rice paper on the table, then looked at her and said, "In the evening, Yang Ping'er from Chengguo Mansion came over. What did she say to you?"
Miss Qin rolled up the rice paper on the table and said softly, "We just chatted for a while, but didn't say anything."
Song Ruyue suddenly became angry and asked, "Wei Mo, are you treating your mother as an outsider? She hasn't even gotten married yet, and you're already treating her like spilled water?"
Miss Qin Er turned her head and looked at her, smiling, "Mother, you came at the right time. Wei Mo just happened to have something to discuss with you."
Song Ruyue was slightly startled, and immediately said seriously: "You say."
Miss Qin Er put away the rolled rice paper, then looked at her and said, "Mother, my brother-in-law's mother's bones are still buried in the barren mountains. Since you and father both approve of him, Wei Mo wants father to agree to move the bones of my brother-in-law's mother to our Qin family's ancestral tomb. Do you think it's okay?"
As soon as these words came out, Song Ruyue's face changed, and she immediately said, "This is not okay, it's against the rules. Even your second grandmother, third grandmother, and the mother of your third and fourth uncles, after they died, they were not qualified to be buried in the Qin family's ancestral tomb. You also know that whether it is a large family with a title like ours or those families in the village, the rules are the same. People with other surnames, unless they are the legal wife, cannot be buried in the family's ancestral tomb. The boy's mother has nothing to do with our Qin family, and her family background... Wei Mo, you can't be willful about this matter. No matter how good you are to that boy, you can't joke about the rules of your ancestors. Your father loves you and doesn't like to observe etiquette. He may respect your opinion, but our Qin family is a big family, not just ours. The ancestors of the Qin family are buried in the ancestral tomb. Even if that boy passes the imperial examination and becomes a high official in the future, this is absolutely impossible. You don't even have to think about it."
Miss Qin Er was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Mother, Wei Mo remembers that there is a lot of land next to the ancestral tomb. If someone from the village dies, they are sometimes buried there. Can you let your brother-in-law's mother move there? This shouldn't be considered a violation of the ancestral rules, right?"
Song Ruyue frowned, looked at her and said, "Wei Mo, why did you suddenly bring up this matter? Is it related to what Yang Ping'er said today? Or did that boy bring it up on his own initiative?"
Miss Qin Er said, "When my brother-in-law went out to visit the grave and did not return for one night, Wei Mo mentioned this to Dad. After all, my brother-in-law is married into our Qin family, and it is not appropriate to bury his mother's bones in the wilderness. There is so much land next to our ancestral grave, it would not be a problem to give one to my brother-in-law's mother. Dad agreed at the time, but it ended up in nothing. It should be that my second uncle refused. Mother, so Wei Mo wants to ask you for help today, go and tell Dad again."
After a pause, she continued softly, "After all, my brother-in-law has done so much for our Qin family. Just the fact that he thwarted the Song family's conspiracy at the Princess' banquet last time is worth it for our Qin family to do something for his mother. Mother, what do you think?"
Song Ruyue was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "If you want to bury him next to the ancestral tomb, I naturally have no objection. But after all, your second uncle is in charge of the Qin family now. Even if I tell your father, he can't make the decision on his own. Wait until your father has discussed it with them."
Miss Qin Er said softly, "Mother, hurry up."
Song Ruyue stared at her for a while and said, "Wei Mo, your father asked me to ask you, do you want to tell your second uncle and the others about this matter in advance?"
Miss Qin was slightly startled: "What's the matter?"
Song Ruyue rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "What else is there? It's just about you and that boy. Your father meant that if we go to Kyoto, it will be difficult to handle this matter, so he wants to help you get it done before we go to Kyoto. When you get married, no one will say anything after you go to Kyoto. Your father wanted to tell the rest of the Qin family in advance so that they can be mentally prepared and avoid being shocked and unable to understand. That day, your father held a family meeting and announced to everyone that he would choose a husband for you. In fact, he had already given them a hint, and the hint was very obvious. Your second uncle probably guessed it a long time ago, and he probably told your fourth uncle and the others, otherwise it would be impossible for no one to come to propose marriage for so long."
"Your father is saying that you should tell them directly that you are going to marry that boy, so that they can be mentally prepared in advance. What do you think?"
Miss Qin was silent for a while, then said, "Mother, please wait a little longer. I... I haven't made up my mind yet."
"Haven't you figured it out yet?"
When Song Ruyue heard this, she was confused and asked, "What haven't you thought of yet?"
Qin Weimo looked at her with a complicated expression and said, "Mother, are you planning to let my sister divorce my brother-in-law, and then let my brother-in-law marry into my family?"
Song Ruyue nodded and said, "Yes, Jianjia doesn't like that boy anyway, and it was Jianjia who took the initiative to bring this up. It just so happens that you and that boy are in love with each other. Jianjia divorces him, and he follows you. Perfect!"
Qin Weimo muttered in a low voice: "Not perfect at all."
Song Ruyue frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Qin Weimo raised his head and met her eyes: "Mother, you know what Weimo means. Weimo is not in good health and could die at any time... So, Weimo does not want to be my brother-in-law's wife. Weimo only wants to be my brother-in-law's concubine, or, just like that... or my sister-in-law..."
As soon as these words came out, Song Ruyue's eyebrows twitched fiercely for a few times, and then her face darkened and she said angrily: "You wish! Bah! It's that stinky boy who wished! He is dreaming! He is wishful thinking! Don't even think about it! Tell mother the truth, is it that little bastard who told you this and taught you this? Did he force you to tell me this? Shameless little thief! You want to have it all from your sisters, you want to eat from the bowl and steal from the pot, bah! I would rather die than surrender! Even if that little bastard gets angry and sells me out, I will never agree!"
The more you curse, the angrier you get!
This is intolerable!
"Zhu'er! Go call that little bastard over here! I want him to know who is the boss of the Qin Mansion! I want him to know that I, Song Ruyue, am not someone who can be bullied!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Zhu'er immediately hurried away.
Miss Qin Er immediately said anxiously: "Mother, don't worry about my brother-in-law's affairs. It's Wei Mo's own idea. My brother-in-law has never thought about it or said it. Don't scold him..."
"Shut up! Do you think I'm blind? He's been entangled with Bailing Xiachan all day long. He even went to my back garden with Xiachan in the middle of the night for a date. He kept flirting with Bailing, and then he flirted with you. Everyone in the Qin Mansion knows his dirty thoughts of having both sisters. I'm not an idiot!"
"Don't say anything! Let me teach him a lesson later! If I don't teach him a lesson for three days, he will rebel!"
Not long.
Zhu'er came hurriedly with Luo Qingzhou.
"Mother-in-law."
Luo Qingzhou had just been training his muscles and practicing the Plum Blossom Flying Fist in the back garden. He was sweating profusely, and the fist intent in his body had not yet completely subsided. He looked at her while panting heavily, and his hands in his sleeves subconsciously couldn't help but clench into fists and unclench them over and over again.
Song Ruyue put her hands on her waist, her face full of anger, and all kinds of scolding were about to come out of her throat. When she saw his eyes and momentum, and saw him repeatedly clenching his fists in his sleeves, she suddenly remembered the insidiousness and horror of this little bastard. Her heart suddenly shrank, and she said with a stern face, "Do you know why I asked you to come? Did you say something to Wei Mo that you shouldn't have said?"
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and asked respectfully, "What is the matter, mother-in-law?"
Song Ruyue looked into his eyes, her spirit trembled, and her heart became even more uneasy: "You... you know what you said! Humph!"
Luo Qingzhou frowned and thought carefully.
Song Ruyue had a lot of words to scold in her heart, but she didn't dare to say a word at this time. She could only say harshly: "I'm telling you, it's impossible! Don't even think about it!"
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and suddenly came to his senses. He bowed his hands and said respectfully, "Mother-in-law, is this about my mother's remains? Don't worry, mother-in-law, Qingzhou knows the rules and knows the limits. Qingzhou just wants a piece of land, as long as it is not in the wilderness. I would never dare to hope to move it to the Qin family's ancestral tomb. If mother-in-law still feels embarrassed, Qingzhou will buy a piece of land with his own money when the time comes."
After hearing this, Song Ruyue was stunned for a moment, and the anger and grievance in her heart suddenly disappeared.
Seeing how sensible this boy was, and thinking of how pitiful his mother really was, her heart softened, and she said in a slow tone, "Why is it difficult? It's not difficult at all. You are a member of my Qin family, and it is only right to give you a piece of land for you to bury your mother. It's definitely not possible inside the Qin family's ancestral tomb, but there is still a lot of land around the ancestral tomb. When the time comes, you can choose a day and move directly there. Don't worry, no one dares to say anything about this matter."
Luo Qingzhou felt warm in his heart, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Thank you, mother-in-law. Qingzhou will remember the Qin family's kindness in his heart and will never forget it."
Song Ruyue felt even more relieved and relieved after hearing this. After a moment of silence, she waved her hand and said, "Okay, go ahead. I will personally talk to your father-in-law about this matter. I must ask him to get it done for you in the next few days."
Luo Qingzhou thanked her again, not daring to stay any longer. He glanced at Miss Qin Er, then turned and left.
After he left, Song Ruyue was still immersed in the warmth and relief she had just felt, and she said to herself, "That boy is quite sensible."
Miss Qin Er, who was standing by, suppressed her laughter and said, "Mother, didn't you just say that you were going to teach your brother-in-law a lesson?"
Song Ruyue came back to her senses, rolled her eyes at her, and snorted coldly, "Mother is doing this for your sake, fearing that you will be embarrassed and distressed. Humph, if you weren't here, that kid would have already knelt down in front of mother and kowtowed to admit his mistake! Mother promises that he will be covered in spit!"
Miss Qin held back her laughter, paused, and whispered, "Mother, please reconsider Wei Mo's proposal? Anyway, my brother-in-law is not an outsider, so my sister and I won't care."
"Shut up! You're dreaming! Don't even think about it!"
Song Ruyue glared angrily.
When she thought of her two beautiful daughters, who would be stripped naked and lying on that boy's bed to serve him, and be toyed with and bullied by him at will, her heart ached and the pain went deep into her bones!
"Unless I die!"
She gritted her teeth.
After Luo Qingzhou returned, he took a shower.
Then he said something to Xiaodie and his soul left his body.
Just as his soul rose into the air, he suddenly discovered a figure standing at the entrance of the alley behind the back door, looking towards the gate and the alley from time to time.
Sure enough, she was waiting for him to go out!
