Liang Zhiyuan didn't even go back to the Yamen today, and just received Su Qing in his mansion.
It was delicious food and drink, and all the good things were said, but Su Qing never showed any kindness, and still had a distant look and tone, which made Liang Zhiyuan very frustrated.
The banquet dispersed and Han returned.
Seeing that Liang Zhiyuan was not looking well, she first told how Liang Ruoyu was favored in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and her in-laws' attitude towards her was much better than before.
Then, he casually said, "I heard from my in-laws that this Su Qing is not married yet."
Liang Zhiyuan was startled when he heard this, "Not married? Did Marquis Ningyuan say it himself?"
Han didn't answer directly, but said worriedly: "I'm just worried, did Ali become someone's aunt after being coaxed with a few words? She is the legitimate daughter of the prefect after all. If she became someone's aunt, how could she say it? It sounds good, but what will others think of you? It is said that you sold your daughter to seek glory, and in order to curry favor with Jinghou, you would rather marry your legitimate daughter to Jinghou's house as a concubine."
Liang Zhiyuan was immediately stunned with anger, "Is your news true?"
He really can't afford to be embarrassed!
"Nine times out of ten, my daughter said, I'll ask your son-in-law to inquire again today. If she is really my aunt, I can find a way to send her back, so that when Jin'er gets married, there will be too many people exposed," Han said.
Liang Zhiyuan encountered a soft nail in Su Qing's house today, and he was already in a bad mood. Now after hearing what Han said, the anger in his heart surged up, and he said angrily: "We are already engaged, if we do Auntie, why am I so shameless? Also, isn't Jinghou Mansion going too far? Why doesn't she just accept the engagement after five years? "
Mrs. Han swept his back and said, "Okay, master, don't be angry. This matter has not been confirmed yet. Let's wait for news about your son-in-law."
"You really want to piss me off!" Liang Zhiyuan said bitterly.
Han hesitated for a moment and said: "Now that the Jinghou Mansion has not settled yet, the Ningyuan Hou Mansion cannot be offended. How about you go there tomorrow?"
Liang Zhiyuan thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go and have a formality tomorrow. She's still in confinement. I won't see her. I'll have a few words with the Marquis and ask about the Jinghou Mansion."
The next day, Liang Zhiyuan actually went to Ningyuan Houfu.
As soon as she went out, Mother Li came in crying. She was helped in by two maids with her ears covered. When she came in, she knelt on the ground and cried, "Madam, you have to help this old slave breathe. This old slave will never be able to breathe again in this life." I have never been so angry or harmed like this. I am still someone close to you. If you don’t help me, how will I live in the future?”
Mrs. Han helped her up, comforted her for a few words, and then said coldly: "Don't worry, I could kill her five years ago, and I can do the same today."
After hearing this, Mother Li immediately held back her tears, "But I heard that I came back with my waiting grandson. Madam, what can you do?"
Han thought for a moment and said, "Tell Jin'er to lure Su Qing away first. I have to stop her from being so powerful and tell her not to be too arrogant."
"That's good. Without Su Qing by your side, no matter how fierce she is, it won't do anything. But, are you afraid that Su Qing will come back and ask questions? Your Excellency values this Su Qing very much."
"As a mother, I can't teach my daughter a lesson? She's going to hurt people when she comes back. Is it easy for him to ask about the affairs of her parents' house?" Mrs. Han said sharply.
"That's right. Even if she doesn't make any mistakes, you can still teach her a lesson. Not to mention that she hurts her parents this time, and she has the right to do so. You are her stepmother. It is reasonable for a stepmother to teach her daughter."
"Well, you go back and take good care of it," she told the maid who was waiting next to her. "If you invite a doctor, don't save money on medication. No matter how expensive it is, it doesn't matter."
"Madam, it is not in vain that I have served you for twenty years." Mother Li wiped her tears with emotion.
"Okay, I have seen your loyalty to me all these years. As long as I am still alive, I will not let you be bullied in vain."
Mrs. Han sent her away first, and then called Liang Jin, the young master of Liang Mansion, to come over.
"Mother, my son doesn't want to socialize with Su Qing. Yesterday, my father had a drink with him and asked me to stay by his side, but Su Qing didn't even look at me seriously. What kind of person is he? Isn't it because his ancestors accumulated good deeds and made meritorious services? Did you get this title?"
After hearing what Han said, Liang Jin sat down and said angrily.
He has grown so big that from Qianzhou to Cizhou, who wouldn't support him? Who is this Su Qing? Yes, he is a second-grade general, but this is all Zu Yin, and he has always looked down on these warriors.
"Go if I tell you to." Mrs. Han glanced at him, "What's the matter? You are getting a wife, and you don't even listen to your mother?"
"No, I just don't like to go with him. I still despise him." He paused and then said coldly: "Also, why did Liang Ruoli marry him? Really, even before What is this? A country bumpkin, she actually got into the Marquis's house. It's really unpopular. Are you the same, mother? I heard that she even cut off Mother Li's ear. "
Han rolled her eyes at him, "I can't bear this tone, so I asked you to lure Su Qing away. While your father went to your third sister's house today, I have to take good care of her."
Hearing this, Liang Jin smiled and said, "That's okay, I'm just saying, how can mother hold back such a breath?"
"You understand, why don't you go?" Han said angrily, paused, and then said, "Didn't you have some close friends in the past? Introduce a few to Su Qing."
Liang Jin was startled, "My soulmate? Why should I introduce him to my soulmate?"
"Those women, didn't you say they all look like gods?"
Liang Jin understood immediately and slapped his thigh, "Mom, you are really amazing. My close friends are so much better than that little bitch. The guardian asked him to taste the game." I don’t know how good that little bitch is.”
Han said angrily: "You, I'm warning you, you are about to get married. After this time, you have to cut off your so-called confidants. Your wife's natal family has a good background. Can you marry her in the future?" Shi, half of it depends on your father-in-law."
"I know, I know, we stopped early. If you hadn't asked me to contact them now, I wouldn't have wanted to see them." Liang Jin said with a smile.
After saying that, he left quickly.
Su Qing and A Li were drinking tea in Qingyuan when they heard the boy come to report that Liang Jin wanted to invite Su Qing out for a drink.
Su Qing looked at A Li with a smile on her face, "Look, you can't bear it, but others are coming. Can you resist it?"
Ah Li turned the teacup in his hand in a circle, waved his hand and said, "I still think you are getting in the way here, so go quickly."
"Okay, come back and listen to your great achievements, wife!" Su Qing smiled heartily and strode out.
