This happened twice. The first time was when Qu Moying sent someone there and there were some doubts. The next time was when the Imperial Observatory was short of an ordinary person who could match the horoscope.
Two different comments, the only exception is that the horoscope is missing.
Because he ran away so early, we still can't find him now. It can be said that he disappeared as soon as he left the capital. It is not certain whether he is alive or dead.
This man was from the capital and had been working in the Imperial Observatory for some time. I didn't understand why he ran away and never looked back. Nothing seemed right no matter how I looked at him.
After listening to Qu Moying's explanation of the whole story, the old lady trembled with anger. There were no outsiders around at the moment, so she said angrily, "He seemed like a good person in the past, but how could his mind be so crooked? He's just like his immature mother. He doesn't want to take the right path, but chooses to take the crooked path."
"Grandma, don't worry. Even if a case is filed, it will be withdrawn." Seeing that the lady was really angry, Qu Moying comforted her.
Jingzhao Yin had to take the case because there were too many people there at the time, but in fact, the matter could have been settled privately if all parties sat down and talked.
After all, the person in charge of the Han family is not Miss Han. Miss Han could report Qu Mingcheng to the government in a fit of anger, but the Han family would never do so because this matter has greatly offended Qu Zhizhen.
"Cancel the engagement. We are the ones who have let the Han family down in this matter." The lady leaned back and said with a gloomy face.
At this point, we can see Miss Han's determination.
Of course, they wanted to maintain this marriage very carefully, and now they wanted to cancel it very much, but the matter of canceling the marriage had to fall on the Qu family.
The lady had originally thought that even if they had to withdraw, they had to withdraw in a proper manner, and everyone should sit down and have a good talk. If the horoscopes were really incompatible, it would not be good for either party. Now she realized that the so-called incompatibility was clearly that Qu Mingcheng had an affair and was ambiguous with other women, and he had malicious intentions.
"We can't take the Xu guy either." The lady continued slowly.
Because of Yu, not only did the Qu family still have no mistress, but Qu Moying almost lost his life. The children they gave birth to looked good before, but the lady now discovered that none of them were good.
Thinking of the hatred, the lady once again felt that it was best to marry a virtuous wife, and this daughter of the Xu family was not a virtuous woman at all.
Just from the news I heard before, I know this woman is not easy to deal with. Not only is she very scheming, but she is also very vicious, even worse than Yu. If she is allowed to enter the house, the future of the Qu family will be ruined. The lady has suffered a loss once, and she will definitely not allow it again this time.
"Grandma, this matter... my father might not agree with it." Qu Moying shook his head.
After this incident, it was impossible for Xu Qinglu to be the legal wife, but her status was there. Even for the sake of Feng Yangbo's face, Qu Zhizhen had to give her a title, and maybe even a concubine.
Qu Moying didn't care who Qu Mingcheng married, but this woman looked more like Liu Jingyu's. Liu Jingyu had been making moves in private recently. It must be that the Eastern Palace had some free time, and one thing after another jumped out.
A hint of coldness flashed across her eyes. That was just right. She didn't want Ji Youran to end up like this in the first place...
"If she insists on marrying in, she has to agree to be a concubine forever." The old lady sneered. She had given in once because of Qu Zhizhen, but it caused unrest in the family. This time she would definitely not give in.
The lady doesn't think Qu Mingcheng has the ability that Qu Zhizhen did...
When Qu Zhizhen came back, he brought back Qu Mingcheng. As soon as he entered the lady's room, Qu Zhizhen turned around and kicked Qu Mingcheng.
Qu Mingcheng lost his balance and took two steps back before falling heavily to the ground. He then knelt down and looked up at Qu Moying who was sitting high up in the seat. A trace of hatred flashed across his face, but he immediately concealed it by lowering his head.
Qu Zhizhen sat down aside.
"What happened?" the old lady asked anxiously. She had already stood up with the help of Qu Moying, and now she was sitting there, feeling extremely anxious.
"The marriage is called off." Qu Zhizhen said unhappily.
"It should indeed be returned. Not only that, but we should also give gifts and apologize to the Han family." The lady nodded.
"I have already made this matter clear to the Han family. The marriage between the two families has been called off, and it is our family that bears the main responsibility." Qu Zhizhen looked at his son with dissatisfaction, wishing he could kick him a few more times.
He had ruined a bright future. From now on, no good family would dare to propose a marriage to him when his family was mentioned. Thinking of the mocking words his colleagues would say tomorrow, Qu Zhizhen became furious.
Not only Qu Mingcheng will be affected, he will also be affected.
What the emperor disliked most was this kind of unruly things. After Xu Lipeng broke off the engagement with his family, although it seemed that he had no choice but to do so, in the end Xu Lipeng still suffered losses. It was said that his career, which he was supposed to be reused in the past, was also cut short.
Although this son is young, as long as he still wants to take the imperial examinations and pursue a career in officialdom, this reputation cannot be lost.
Especially in the current situation, the matter has been suppressed for the time being, but there are too many people who have seen this, so there will definitely be follow-up.
"Father, Miss Xu and I really have a lot in common. I hope father and grandmother will approve of our marriage." Qu Mingcheng couldn't help but say, thinking of how Xu Qinglu had cried and almost fainted, he felt so distressed. He only hated that his father had to pull him away at that time, otherwise he would have comforted Xu Qinglu no matter what.
"Do you still want to marry her?" Qu Zhizhen sneered, gritting his teeth.
"Father... please help me. I will definitely... definitely work hard on the imperial examinations, and will definitely make father and grandmother proud." Qu Mingcheng kowtowed three times to the old lady and insisted.
"In the future?" Before the lady could say anything, Qu Zhizhen had already sneered, "You still plan for the future."
“Father…Father…” Qu Mingcheng was stunned and subconsciously looked at Qu Zhizhen.
"You don't think this matter will just pass like that, do you?" Qu Zhizhen felt disappointed again. This son was really far from what he had imagined.
He could tolerate his son making mistakes, but he could not tolerate his son being so stupid that he still couldn't see his current situation clearly.
"Not only did he have ambiguous relationships with other women, he also secretly plotted against his fiancée, causing her to become seriously ill and bedridden, and she almost lost her life. The Han family is still a family of officials, and it is not something that someone like you can trample on at will. Besides, this matter has become so serious that it has already left a trace."
The lady slammed the table in anger.
Qu Moying raised his eyes and looked at Qu Mingcheng. Qu Mingcheng really thought that even if he couldn't accomplish the whole thing, he had at least completed half of it.
There was no way to plot against me, but I still broke off the engagement.
No wonder Qu Mingcheng was led by Xu Qinglu. He has experienced too little and is thinking too naively!
"If you pass the next imperial examination, do you think the emperor will not ask about it and will not let you be selected?" Qu Zhizhen said in a cold voice.
Not being selected means that even if he passes the exam, he will still fail!
Qu Zhizhen's face changed drastically, and his lips immediately lost all color: "Father...Father..."
He has been studying for so many years just to gain a good background. His father was a scholar. Qu Mingcheng has always felt that he would not be able to
Worse than his father, and even higher.
With his knowledge and talent, his future is limitless.
But now he was suddenly told that he might have nothing in the future, maybe... there would be no possibility at all. How could he bear it? At this moment, he could not think about Xu Qinglu anymore, "Father, this... what should I do?"
"You are only thinking about what to do now. Why didn't you ask before whether it was the right thing to do? In the case of Xu, she is at most a lowly concubine. This is for the sake of Fengyang Marquis. If you make trouble again, you may not have the opportunity to take the imperial examination in the future." Qu Zhizhen sneered and waved his hand, "Why don't you get off!"
Looking at his son, he now feels angry.
Qu Mingcheng was really panicked at this time. Although he was frightened when he was Jingzhao Yin before, he was confident and comforted Xu Qinglu. But after hearing what Qu Zhizhen said, even if Xu Qinglu was in front of him, he was in no mood to comfort her anymore. Is his future, everything he has in the future, really going to end because of Xu Qinglu
Then why did he study for so many years? Why did he study so hard until now? Has the praise from teachers and friends and the admiration from classmates become a joke
He still wanted to avenge his mother, keep an eye on Qu Moying, and step on Qu Moying. Now he has become a joke? How can he accept this
He came out of the house in a daze, and after being blown by the wind outside, he sobered up a little. He tried hard to calm himself down, and with a gloomy face, he beckoned his servant over and said, "Go to King Jing's mansion to see the concubine and report the news."
He also has a younger sister...
"Uncle, you want to make Qinglu a concubine? How can they... how can they be so shameless?" Marquis Fengyang's wife could hardly believe her ears. She looked at her niece, then at the angry Marquis Fengyang, her eyes blank. Her niece had been raised by her since she was a child. She was considerate, well-behaved and obedient, even more sensible than her own daughter.
Although they are not my own children, they are better than my own.
"I've done good things for her. It's already good enough that I can make her an ordinary concubine, and she will be a concubine forever." Marquis Fengyang said unhappily, feeling that he had lost all his face over the years.
Such a thing actually happened. When he thought about how well-behaved and obedient his niece had always been in front of him, he got angry. He really had misjudged her.
"Please pack up and send the person away soon. It's good enough that the Qu Mansion accepted her. Do you want them to bring her in with a sedan chair? Not only is she having an ambiguous relationship with a man, but she also has malicious intentions to steal his fiancée. We cannot keep such a person in our mansion."
Feng Yangbo said bluntly.
"My Lord..." Lady Fengyang wanted to say something, but she saw Marquis Fengyang throw down another sentence and turn around and walk away. "If you don't let go of this matter, think about your own son and your daughter."
My own child is still unmarried. If something like this happens, even if the child is not my own, as long as people hear that the child is raised in my house, it will be bad for my reputation.
"Aunt." After Marquis Fengyang left, Xu Qinglu, kneeling on the ground, finally dared to speak. She raised her tearful eyes, and with her hands convulsively grabbed Marquis Fengyang's wife, crying loudly, "Aunt, save me, Aunt, save me!"
At this moment, she was in a state of disarray, her meticulously combed hair was now in disarray, tears were streaming down her cheeks, and she looked at the wife of Marquis Fengyang beggingly...
Xu Qinglu didn't know why things turned out like this. She had clearly set her sights on the position of the main wife. If it wasn't for the position, why didn't she just follow her cousin, at least she would have been a concubine.
She always felt that she had ambitions and wanted to be the legal wife...
