Chapter 48

Mrs. Hou was taken aback, "Brother Le goes out early and returns late these days, but he didn't go out today, it's really rare."

Madam Hou changed her clothes, sat down to have a cup of tea, and a servant came in and said: "Madam, Mrs. Qian from Ningfu has arrived."

"Understood, welcome to the living room, I'll go right away."

The servants retreated.

Accompanied by Nanny Han, Mrs. Hou left Qingyi Garden and headed towards the reception hall.

"Ma'am, the prince is here."

Seeing Shi Jingyang coming to Qingyiyuan, Nanny Han reminded Mrs. Hou.

Mrs. Hou stopped, followed Nanny Han's eyes, seeing her imposing son, and thinking of her outstanding son who was about to marry a girl from Ningfu, Mrs. Hou's heart ached again.

Shi Jingyang also saw Mrs. Hou, walked over quickly, and asked, "Where are you going, Aunt?"

Seeing the indelible love in Madam Hou's eyes, Nanny Han knew that Madam Hou was feeling uncomfortable, so she took the lead and replied, "Back to the son, old lady Qian from Ning's mansion is coming to visit, madam will go to the living room to see old lady Qian."

"Madam Qian came to the mansion?" Shi Jingyang thought hard. In the last life, Madam Qian also came to the mansion. That time, when something happened to Ning Wei, Madam Qian came to the mansion to apologize.

Now, Ning Wei is fine and nothing happened, why is Mrs. Qian going to the house?

"Master, yes. Mrs. Qian sent someone to deliver the post early in the morning." Nanny Han bowed back.

"Have you had breakfast yet?" Mrs. Hou looked at Nanny Han and then at Shi Jingyang and asked.

Nanny Han stole a glance at Mrs. Hou, knowing that she was offended by talking too much, so she backed away.

Shi Jingyang leaned back and said, "Go back to Aunt, I've already eaten. Do you need your son to go to the living room with you?"

Madam Hou shook her head, "No, you go and do your work. Let's talk about it later."

Shi Jingyang nodded, "Okay, that son will step down first."

After Shi Jingyang left, Nanny Han bent her knees and said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry, this old servant just broke the rules."

Madam Hou lowered her face and said, "You are an old man, you have to know how to speak and act properly. Forget it this time, let's not be an example."

Nanny Han bent her knees in response. "Yes, the old slave understands."

Madam Hou said as she walked, "I know you have a hard time feeling sorry for Brother Le, but there must be rules."

Nanny Han bowed her body in response, "This old slave would like to listen to Madam's instruction."

Mrs. Hou came to the door of the living room, and Mrs. Qian just arrived.The two sides greeted each other, and Mrs. Hou let Mrs. Qian into the house.

The servants serve tea and leave.

Madam Hou smiled and greeted politely: "Old Madam, please drink tea."

Mrs. Qian took a sip of tea from her teacup, put down the cup and said bluntly: "I'm going to the house today, I have a few words I want to say to Mrs. Hou alone. I wonder if it's convenient for Mrs. Hou?"

Madam Hou looked at Nanny Han, "Take them down."

Nanny Han bowed her knees and led the maidservant out of the living room.

"Madam, if you have anything to say, please tell me."

Madam Qian looked at the door, and waited for Nanny Han to close the door before turning to Madam Hou.Said: "I came here today because I want to talk to my wife about the marriage contract between the Ning Mansion and the Hou Mansion."

Mrs. Hou had already guessed that it was a matter of a marriage contract, she nodded and said, "Okay, what do you think, old lady? Just say it, as long as you don't go too far, the Hou family will be satisfied."

Now that Lord Hou has accepted the engagement, the marriage is a certainty.

For things that have been confirmed, the next step is to listen to the other party's point of view, and then go through the process of three letters and six appointments.

Mrs. Qian smiled and said, "I'm here today to cancel the engagement."

After hearing Madam Qian's words, Madam Hou froze in mid-air with her hand that was reaching out to hold the tea. She stared blankly at Madam Qian. She came back to her senses after a moment, and asked incredulously, "What did Madam say? Cancel the engagement." ?”

Mrs. Qian could see from Madam Hou's shocked and slightly delighted expression that the Hou family was unwilling to this marriage, and she was secretly glad that what Sister Wei said was right, marriage is about being well-matched.

Even if Sister Wei is married into the Hou Mansion with a marriage contract, Sister Wei may not live well.

Madam Qian nodded, "Yes, cancel the engagement!"

After a while, Mrs. Hou calmed down, "I want to ask the old lady, why did you cancel the engagement? The old lady doesn't want to marry Hou?"

Mrs. Qian said bluntly: "The family style of the Hou's mansion is good, Madam has a good temper, and the son of the world is also literary and military, and everything is good.

There are women in the capital, who doesn't want to marry the Hou Mansion? "

Maybe she let go and didn't need to ask for help anymore. Mrs. Qian felt that her waist was straightened, and she now had the confidence to speak.

"Before, my old body thought the same way, if I could form this family relationship and find a good family for Sister Wei, even if my old body passed away, I would feel at ease.

Madame also knows about the affairs of the Ning Mansion, right?Sister Wei lost her mother when she was born, and she was brought up by her old age.This poor child took a lot of effort to raise her up. "

Speaking of Ning Wei, Mrs. Qian had a soft light in her eyes, and her face was full of kindness.

Mrs. Hou's face was moved, "Brother Le and Brother Yu get along very well. I heard from Brother Le that the old lady has spent a lot of time for brother and sister Yu. Why did the old lady cancel the engagement?"

Mrs. Hou was very puzzled in her heart, what is Mrs. Qian's intention?The more this is the case, the more she should rely on the marriage contract to hold on to the Hou Mansion and Brother Le tightly?

Madam Qian is playing hard to get, using retreat as a trick to advance, not only wants to marry her granddaughter into the Hou's mansion, but also plays tricks to make her take pity on Ning Wei...

Madam Qian sighed, "Yesterday I talked about the marriage contract with Sister Wei. Sister Wei said that the marriage should be matched, and our family is too far away from the Hou's Mansion. Madam Hou must have her own plans for the marriage of the eldest son.

We shouldn't hold the Hou Mansion hostage with a marriage contract..."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Qian smiled sheepishly, and continued, "Oh, Madam, you see, after living for decades, I'm not as clear as a ten-year-old child.

Sister Wei also said that people should have self-knowledge and should not cling to things that do not belong to them. "

Madam Hou looked at Madam Qian in surprise, and suddenly realized that she was a bit of a villain. "Miss Ning really lives a clear life. However, if this marriage is withdrawn, it will be impossible for our two houses to talk about it again. To put it bluntly, after leaving the Hou Mansion, it will be difficult for Miss Ning to find her again." Better people."

Madam Hou's words were both temptation and persecution.

Mrs. Qian understood what Mrs. Hou meant, and said with a smile: "Ma'am is right, our sister Wei said that marriage is like drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or not. Life is lived by oneself, and a rich family has the brilliance of a rich family. , Xiaomenxiaohu has the warmth of Xiaomenxiaohu.

The old body came here today and made it clear to his wife that this marriage contract, the old body will tear it up in front of his wife.From now on, just pretend it never happened. "
