"Which family is here to propose marriage?" The lady pressed her hands on the corner of the table, almost fainting.
"Yes, I'm here to propose marriage to Xin. At that time, it was clearly Ying who was being proposed to. Why has it become Xin now? Mother, please go and explain to the people in the He residence that the proposal is for Ying. They made a mistake!" Luo said without thinking.
Mr. He San is now a huge troublemaker. Who would be willing to marry his daughter? Not only did he kill the maid, but he also killed his newlywed wife.
The lady's face darkened and she shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Mother, I didn't say that deliberately. Wasn't it discussed for Ying girl at that time..." Luo argued. How could her daughter, whom she had high hopes for, marry Mr. He San? And she even said that she was willing to go to the border with him? She would die there. She would never agree to it no matter what.
"Ying's marriage is decided by Concubine Qu in the palace." The lady interrupted Luo's words rudely.
Luo was stunned for a moment. She didn't know this reason before and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Is it because Qu Moying's marriage was decided by Concubine Qu in the palace, so the He family that was previously intended for Qu Moying to look at has become her own
If Mr. He San had not exposed such a thing in the past, Luo Shi might have agreed. After all, King Jing was behind the He family. Even if Mr. He San had married a wife, so what
But that is absolutely not possible right now.
"Mother, even if Ying's marriage was arranged by Concubine Qu, this matter only concerns Ying and has nothing to do with our Xin'er." Luo said unconvinced.
"Is it okay? I heard that when Mr. He San came into the mansion that day, Xin girl went to meet him later and said that she bumped into him by accident. Others didn't bump into him, so how could she bump into him?" The lady said angrily. She found out about these things after she checked later.
"Mother, this... this must be an accident." Luo's face turned red, angry and embarrassed.
"Whether it was an accident or not, you can ask Xin girl yourself later. It had nothing to do with her at that time, so why did she make such a fuss? Now the people in the He family don't dare to bother Ying girl, so they come to bother her." The lady said angrily.
If Qu Xuexin was really innocent, the lady would have felt that she could have said something more harsh, but the situation at the time was such that anyone who heard it would have thought that the man was in love and the woman was interested.
"Mother... But Xin'er can't marry him. It will cost her life!" Luo couldn't say anything wrong and started crying again.
"Go and tell them that the Qu and He families have discussed marriage, but it has not come to fruition. At this moment, they will not marry their daughter to the He family. Let the people from the He family go back."
The lady said angrily.
"But, Xin'er's reputation..." Luo burst into tears.
"This reputation is all false. Let's save the person first. Besides, if the marriage is not concluded, it doesn't count as a real marriage. The He family is just using this to disgust us." The old lady was very decisive. This matter could not be delayed. The longer it was delayed, the worse it would be for Qu Xuexin. Although a girl's reputation was important, in the old lady's opinion, sometimes some of it could be sacrificed.
In the future, we will pick some scholars from humble backgrounds, and they will also have a promising future.
"Mother, but Xin'er..." Luo was still crying.
The Madam ignored her words and turned to Wu Ma and said, "Go to the East Mansion and tell the people from the He Mansion to go back and tell them that the young lady from our Qu Mansion will not marry him. She just said so at the beginning.
How can it be said that the eldest lady fell in love with Mr. He San? "
Since no master from the He Mansion came, the lady felt that there was no need to go to her own house.
My Mammy is enough.
Nanny Wu nodded and took a few maids and two old women to the East Palace to deal with the matter.
Luo was worried, so she wiped her tears and said goodbye to the lady.
The lady nodded and agreed.
When the news reached Qianyueju, Qu Moying was also stunned for a moment. She did not expect that this Mr. He San was really a rogue and still wanted to rely on the Qu Mansion at this time.
Of course, all of this was Qu Xuexin's own fault and she couldn't blame anyone else.
Not to mention what happened in the past, let's just talk about the collision between herself and Yan Yujiao. Qu Xuexin also played an irreplaceable role. Now that she has fallen to this point, it is also retribution.
"Miss, will the eldest lady really marry him?" Yu Chun didn't quite understand and asked curiously, putting down the teacup in her hand.
Qu Moying put down the embroidery in her hand. She was now embroidering a piano cover, a very simple piano cover with only a pair of butterflies on it. It’s not that the previous piano cover was bad, but there was nothing to embroider recently, and she didn’t want to embroider butterflies on obvious clothes or handkerchiefs, so she just wanted to embroider a piano cover.
After all, other people rarely see this kind of thing.
"No, my elder sister always wants to marry someone who is rich and powerful." Qu Moying smiled and shook her head, took the teacup and took a sip, then spoke slowly with cold eyes.
"But now, even if the eldest lady doesn't marry Mr. He San, she can't marry a young man from a noble family like that." Yu Dongxin said gloatingly.
Deep down in his heart, he didn't like the sinister Miss Qu.
"Then...what will she do in the future?" Yuchun asked with eyes wide open.
"Who knows, maybe someone noble can help her find a solution!" Yu Dong said meaningfully!
Qu Moying pursed her lips slightly, as if thinking about something! The relationship between Qu Xuexin and Liu Jingyu is different. Qu Xuexin doesn't have many people to ask for help now. Qu Qiuyan can't protect herself. In Qu Xuexin's eyes, Jingyu County Lord, who is very noble and may be the Crown Princess in the future, seems to have a more reliable position.
"What does it matter if there is another noble lady? Her reputation is like this now! Miss, I heard that the eldest lady and Mr. He San have had a private affair for a long time, which is why they discussed the marriage. The two have met privately more than once. Now that Mr. He San is in trouble, the eldest lady is unwilling again!"
Yuchun had secretly gone to the East Palace to watch the excitement and just came back at this time.
"Did a fight break out?" Yu Dong's eyes lit up. He was actually willing to go and watch the fun.
"They didn't beat her, but the He family's betrothal gifts were thrown out. I heard that there was also torn brocade. The He family didn't even consider the eldest daughter as a proper wife when they offered the betrothal gift." Yuchun said.
I heard that Mr. He San is leaving Beijing tomorrow. This farce is just to ruin Qu Xuexin's reputation. Naturally, he won't bring anything good. It is inevitable that he will be rejected and thrown out.
But the He family still did it, which shows that the third master He has a deep resentment towards the Qu family. Thinking of the glance from afar that day, Qu Moying frowned slightly. She didn't see clearly at the time, but now when she thinks about it, she feels that this person is not a simple person. He probably had a plan in mind when he wanted to marry her.
The most important thing may be to deceive your own blindness.
But now, he changed his mind and said that he wanted to marry Qu Xuexin. It was effortless, even everyone
Everyone thinks it’s true!
In his heart, he secretly told himself to pay attention to such a person, who could change his mind so quickly, make the Qu family suffer a loss in silence, and also make Pei Yusheng agree with his approach!
As things got to the point, it naturally became impossible for the matter to really come to pass, but the fact that the eldest daughter of the Qu family was originally going to marry Mr. He San was also publicized along with Mr. He San's affairs.
When the whole capital was discussing Mr. He San, they also started talking about the eldest daughter of the Qu family.
There are various versions.
When she heard that Qu Xuexin fainted from crying in her own yard, Qu Moying just smiled slightly. She didn't think there was any sympathy for the person who viciously framed her!
Qu Xuexin has a bad character, and has ended up like this. It is true that evil will be punished by evil.
The third son of the He family left Beijing the next morning, but even though he had left Beijing for the border, the rumors about him in the capital could not be stopped for a while. Instead, because of his departure, the focus was on the marriage with the eldest daughter of the Qu family, although the Qu family did not recognize the marriage and threw out the betrothal gifts of the He family.
But this does not prevent others from thinking that Miss Qu has a bad reputation.
Qu Moying went to Qu Xuexin's courtyard the next afternoon. The lady's intention was to ask her to persuade her. Even if this matter was over, it was not a good time to discuss marriage. Qu Xuexin's marriage had to be postponed again and again.
Hearing that Qu Moying was coming, Qu Xuexin had someone bring Qu Moying in. When she saw Qu Xuexin, her eyes were red and swollen, but even so, her face looked calm, at least much calmer than Luo Shi. Just now, when Qu Moying saw Luo Shi on the road, Luo Shi's face looked very ugly, and he was indifferent to her greetings.
This is blaming Qu Moying for what happened to Qu Xuexin.
But Luo Shi couldn't explain that this matter had happened with Qu Moying before.
"Sister, grandma said everything is fine." After sitting down, Qu Moying looked at Qu Xuexin's pale face and said slowly.
"Thank you, fourth sister." Qu Xuexin lowered her head, holding the handkerchief in her hand. From Qu Moying's direction, he could not see the hatred in her eyes. She was the one who took the blame for Qu Moying.
"Big sister, do you want to go out for a walk?" Qu Moying invited, "It just so happens that I have to go to Yueyi Pavilion to have a look. It will open tomorrow."
"I'm not going. Where can I go at this moment?" Qu Xuexin shook her head bitterly and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Okay then!" Qu Moying nodded and stood up. "Big sister, just take a good rest these few days. Grandmother said that you don't need to go over to pay respects these days. Just rest in your own yard."
Originally, due to the relationship between the East and West Mansions, the two young ladies from the East Mansion did not go to pay their respects to the Grand Madam every day. But since Qu Caiyue went to Prince Jing's Mansion, Qu Xuexin's relationship with the West Mansion suddenly became closer. Now, she goes to pay her respects to the Grand Madam almost every day, just like Qu Qiuyan and Qu Moying.
But I didn't go in the past two days.
"Thank grandma for me." Qu Xuexin raised her head, a look of gratitude on her face, then bit her lip, tears falling again: "Qi Qiao that day, please ask fourth sister to take me. I have been feeling depressed these days and want to go out at night. These few days I sit in the mansion and the more I think about it, the sadder I feel!"
She still has a chance...
Qu Moying's eyes swept across Qu Xuexin's aggrieved and sad face, and he felt a burst of ridicule in his heart. Even at this time, Qu Xuexin still hadn't forgotten about wanting to harm him...
