Qu Moying did not leave, but listened to the two ladies' conversation outside the back window.
I had known that my grandmother would be at a disadvantage when facing Madam Qi, but I didn't expect that she would be led astray from the very beginning.
Madam Qi is truly amazing.
But such a powerful Madam Qi has repeatedly been in charge of this unreasonable matter. With her experience, how could she not see the damage this matter would cause to her reputation.
The so-called benefit is just getting married. Are you really worried that you won't be able to get married? Are you pushing yourself to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion again and again
What if this matter was Liu Jingyu's? Would Madam Qi still do such a thing
The anger in my heart rushed up, I bit the corner of my lips, and tried hard to suppress the sudden anger.
Yesterday, although she was unhappy, she was still able to express her understanding calmly. However, when she heard Madam Qi suppressing her grandmother again and again, bringing up the topic of her grandmother with an air of condescending favor, Qu Moying's anger inexplicably rose up.
If it was just a responsibility, and a hot potato that she was eager to throw away, she didn't need it.
Maybe because she had been reborn once, she was destined to be cold and indifferent. She would only remember the kindness of those who were good to her. The so-called blood relationship was not at all there.
I don't want them to have any responsibilities, but I also ask them not to bother me.
"What does Madam Qu think?" Madam Qi was still pressing Madam Qu's attitude. Although she was smiling, she turned cold because Madam Qu refused to answer. "Does Madam Qu think that the fourth Miss Qu can find a better marriage?"
Not only were these words cold, but they also carried a hint of sarcasm.
Yu Dong, who was standing behind Qu Moying, was so angry that his face turned red. He wanted to rush in and tell Madam Qi that his young lady's marriage had been settled, and the marriage was a hundred or ten thousand times better than that of the son of the Marquis of Yongning.
What kind of person is my master, and what kind of person is the son of the Marquis of Yongning? Can this be discussed in detail
"Madam Qi... let's discuss this matter again. The second brother said before that he had a suitable candidate." Madam Qu's embarrassed voice was trying to make excuses and push the matter onto Qu Zhizhen.
"Madam Qu, you can't let Minister Qu make the decision on this matter. In the inner court of your mansion, only Madam Qu can make the decision for the fourth young lady Qu. She is really doing this for her own good and is willing to choose a suitable marriage for her. It is better to do it sooner rather than later. Once the Yongning Marquis's mansion cancels the engagement, we can immediately renew our marriage with your mansion. If we wait, with the character of the Yongning Marquis's son, it will be easy for him to marry any young lady he wants, right?"
Madam Qi was obviously displeased.
What he said implied that if Madam Qu did not accept this matter, it would mean that she did not care about Qu Moying.
The room became quiet again, but the sound of heavy teacups falling could be heard. Such a loud sound could not possibly be that of my grandmother, it could only be that of Madam Qi.
Qu Moying stood behind the window, a trace of anger flashing in her eyes. She could tolerate their neglect and indifference, but she was not going to tolerate their oppression of her grandmother.
Grandmother was naturally different from the wife of Duke of Qi. She was not the kind of woman from an aristocratic family who had been raised for a hundred years. She was naturally inferior in momentum. But even if she was not as imposing as him, she was still my grandmother, who sincerely protected me.
grandmother.
If he really cared about me, why didn't he protect my mother a little bit in the beginning? Now that my mother is gone, he is forcing himself to make his presence felt through his marriage, and is determined to arrange a marriage for himself with the son of Marquis Yongning, just to appear glamorous on the surface.
He knew very well that if this thing succeeded, his reputation would be ruined, and the previous cancellation of the engagement between the Qu Mansion and the Yongning Marquis Mansion would become a joke, a joke caused by the Qu Mansion.
Knowing that Xu Lipeng is not a good match at all, he still tries to match them up.
Is it really from the heart? Or is it just for show? No matter how far he ends up, when others talk about the Duke of Qi's Mansion, they will only say good things about it and how much effort Mrs. Qi has put into it.
Originally, she was not in a hurry to expose anything now. It was good that everyone was so confused and stunned. But now they were pushing her too far. If she took a step back, they would take a step forward and would inevitably force her into a quagmire. Or she would have to die like her mother, only then would they feel at ease.
In this case, she doesn't need to endure it any longer.
He stopped listening and turned away.
"Madam Qi, I'm afraid I really can't agree to this with you. The second son is already looking for someone." Inside the house, Madam Qu still adhered to the principle of being tactful and rejected Madam Qi.
"Madam Qu, do you think that I, as a matchmaker, am not important enough?" Madam Qi was really annoyed. She originally thought that it was not a big deal, but after hearing what she said, Madam Qu must be overjoyed. The fourth young lady of the Qu family is not sensible, so how could Madam Qu not be sensible
But this Mrs. Qu is really short-sighted.
"Why do you say that, Madam Qi? It's all about our little girl Ying's matter that's bothering you." Madam Qu was startled and hurriedly shook her hands, but she didn't dare to say anything. "When our second son comes back later, I'll ask him what he thinks. If... it's okay, I will definitely trouble Madam Qi."
"Since Madam Qu said so, I will wait for Madam Qu's good news." Madam Qi said coldly, "It's getting late, and I still have things to do in my house, so I won't disturb Madam Qu!"
Then he stood up.
Mrs. Qu also stood up hurriedly.
"Madam Qu, you don't have to be polite. I will go back first. Madam Qu, please send someone to give me a definite answer whether this will succeed or not, so that my good intentions with our Duke will not be in vain."
Madam Qi stretched out her hand to stop her from sending her to the door, left these words, and walked out with the maids and old women of Duke Qi's mansion.
My nanny hurriedly followed behind to see him off.
Mrs. Qu originally wanted to see them off, but her health was not good. She was out of breath after walking a few steps. She saw Mrs. Qi walking away.
This matter...as expected, ended in a bad mood!
Madam Qu was weighed down with many things on her mind, so she had no choice but to sit back down in her chair. She just couldn't calm down. In her opinion, Mr. Qi meant well, but there were some things she couldn't say and couldn't explain clearly, which made Madam Qi angry.
She had always seen the kindness of the Duke of Qi's Mansion towards her little granddaughter, and naturally she was even more unwilling to offend the Duke of Qi's Mansion. She obviously just wanted to refuse politely, but things turned out like this, and Madam Qu was even more upset.
When my nanny came back, Madam Qu was sitting there with a frown on her face.
"Did Madam Qi say anything when she left?" Madam Qu asked anxiously when she saw Madam Wu coming in.
I was afraid that Madam Qi would get angry.
"Nothing was said, Madam. I think Madam Qi is angry." Wu Ma said cautiously. She saw clearly just now that she was not only angry, but she was also extremely dissatisfied with her own Madam. When she left the house, she just sneered and didn't say another word.
"Will it affect Ying girl?" Madam Qu became more and more worried. She felt very nervous. It was really because Madam Qi had put too much pressure on her.
"That shouldn't be the case. Even if he is angry, he should be angry with you!" said my nanny uncertainly.
In fact, if you are angry with the Madam, isn't that the same as being angry with the Fourth Young Lady? My Nanny felt that Madam Qi would be angry with the Madam for this matter, and she didn't look like a broad-minded person. I had always heard people say that Madam Qi was different from ordinary women. She was able to accompany the old Duke Qi to help the Qi family stand up again, and it was still a good story in the capital.
Such a lady's words and deeds are completely different from those of today!
My nanny didn’t know what had gone wrong and could only try her best to comfort the lady.
Madam Qi went back home unhappy. She was still feeling depressed while sitting in the carriage, feeling that her good intentions had been betrayed. If it weren't for the old Duke's repeated instructions, she felt that she would not want to be involved in the affairs of the Qu Mansion anymore.
She liked the fourth young lady of the Qu family very much when she first met her, but now she dislikes her more and more. She is too self-righteous.
Does she really think that she can choose a better marriage on her own
The reason why the Yongning Marquis' Mansion was willing to show such weakness was probably largely because of their own mansion. Previously, the old Duke had beaten Qu Zhizhen at the palace gate, which represented the attitude of the Qi Duke's Mansion.
As for the incident involving the Yu family that happened later, it made Qu Moying even more vulnerable and caused people to feel sympathy for him.
But she didn't expect that this young woman couldn't see herself clearly. Whenever she thought of this, Madam Qi felt very upset.
Fortunately, this Fourth Miss Qu is the princess's granddaughter. If she were her own granddaughter, she would be so angry that she would die. Not only does she overestimate her own abilities, but she is also self-righteous. She looks delicate, but in fact, she has high aspirations but a fragile life.
If you want to choose a good marriage, you have to see if you have the fate. If it is someone like your granddaughter, of course you can choose whoever you want. She can choose any princes and young masters who are married in the capital, and even princes and grandsons of the emperor are among her choices. Now of course she has married the best one.
The future belongs to the queen!
Look at the one in the Qu Mansion. She is nothing, not outstanding, and has been rejected by her fiancé. She has not been educated since childhood, so her words and deeds are definitely inappropriate, and she can't manage affairs. How can she be so ambitious and think that she can marry someone better than the son of Marquis Yongning
Thinking of this, Madam Qi felt even more that Qu Moying was ungrateful.
"Forget it, forget it. After I go back, I will tell the old Duke that the Qu family has their own ideas and has been looking for a marriage long ago. They hinted that we should not interfere and ruin the good marriage of the fourth young lady of the Qu family." Madam Qi complained to her trusted maid in a bad mood.
She really didn't want to care about this matter anymore. Not only was it not pleasing, but it was also upsetting.
The carriage suddenly stopped, and the horse pulled up its legs and stopped. Madam Qi in the carriage was not prepared, and she leaned back, hitting her head heavily against the front of the carriage, making a "bang" sound...
