Marrying into a poor family

The Hundred Days Banquet held in the Ninth Prince's Mansion has nothing to do with Qin Xiang. Even the Liu family is not qualified to be invited. She is just gossiping.

On the contrary, the current problems at home are the urgent matters that need to be solved urgently.

Mrs. Liu asked Qin Xi: "Do you think I should send a letter to Liu's uncle and ask him to come and take Qin Yao back in person?"

Qin Xi finally understood Liu's purpose. She just wanted Qin Yao to go home, instead of her previous suggestion: hold on tight and see who can drag whom?

"But what else happened?"

When asked, Mrs. Liu smiled bitterly and said: "Some people are mocking my father and husband openly and secretly, saying that our family is full of messes. In short, it is very ugly, and I am afraid that someone will make a fuss later."

The Liu family is also an old man who has been in officialdom for a long time. Naturally, he smelled trouble, so he called Mrs. Liu back to her parents' house and asked her to handle Qin Yao's affairs well, and not to be used as a sharp blade to attack the Liu family and Qin Yaozu.

But it was obvious that Qin Yao didn't want to go back, and Mr. Liu didn't come to hand over the steps. Things became so tense that Mrs. Qin Si and Mrs. Liu were worried.

Qin Xi thought for a while and said: "Actually, whether Qin Yao goes back or not is not the important point. The important point is, what is the Liu family's plan?"

"If the Liu family has plans to divorce their wife, then they will most likely ruin the reputation of Qin Yao and the Qin family first, and then take the opportunity to divorce their wife. In this case, it will be all the fault of the Qin family, and The Liu family is just implicated."

Speaking of this, Qin Xiang paused for a moment, looked at Liu's expression, and saw that she was thinking deeply and nodding her head.

Knowing that Mrs. Liu had listened, Qin Xi added, "Don't forget, our family just took Qin Yan out of the Xie family. If someone takes this matter and says that the Qin family is disrespectful of etiquette, For a family that has no sense of shame, as long as it is preconceived, it will be very difficult to change other people's minds."

Mrs. Liu was excited, subconsciously grabbed Qin Xiang's wrist, and raised her voice a little higher: "I am the daughter-in-law, and I shouldn't say anything about the ridiculous things my father and mother did back then, let alone care about them. But I will never allow it, because Qin Yao once again ruined our family’s reputation.”

After all, what Qin Xiongfei and Mrs. Qin Si were doing was in Dancheng, which was far away from the capital, but now Qin Yao was in the capital.

"I don't even know what my mother-in-law is thinking? First it was Qin Yan, and now it's Qin Yao. One she doesn't like, and the other is her darling. Why are they both marrying so poorly?"

She only dared to complain in front of Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang withdrew her hand, took a sip of tea, and then said: "The Liu family's situation is not impossible to crack."

Mrs. Liu's eyes suddenly lit up: "What should I say? I knew I would just turn to you. You must have many ideas in your mind like a ghost!"

"Stop flattering me. If I'm good at it, you can invite me to the best Yuexiang Restaurant in the capital and let me order the food."

Mrs. Liu clapped her hands and agreed very readily: "What's the difficulty? You won't be deprived of my dowry."

Qin Xian said: "The Liu family is deeply rooted in the capital. In terms of backstage relatives and friends, your Liu family is probably not as good as you. Am I right?"

Mrs. Liu nodded: "The ancestors of the Liu family had titles, but they disappeared after four generations. However, the connections and heritage of the in-laws left behind when they had titles earlier are still there. Our Liu family is just that our grandfather passed the exam. He became a Jinshi and later became an official in the court before taking root in the capital. In terms of background, it cannot be compared with the Liu family."

"So, do you know why your mother-in-law chose Mr. Liu as her son-in-law?"

Mrs. Liu nodded: "The Liu family is not ostentatious, but actually has a deep foundation, and it is a family that the Qin family can get." Qin Xiang nodded: "In other words, the Liu family is the best family your mother-in-law can find for Qin Yao. She is well with her husband's family. She also has an aunt to take care of her. Logically speaking, Qin Yao's life should be able to live well. However, people are not as good as God. Who can predict that Qin Yao's heart is not with her husband? Also, she He actually has no heirs."

Ms. Liu was silent for a while, and she patiently listened to Qin Xi's analysis.

"The Liu family has a profound background. The good thing is that they have very good connections. If they want to ruin the reputation of Qin Yao and the Qin family, as long as they make a little arrangement, the Qin family has no chance of winning. People whose surname is Liu's family or Qin who has a bad reputation. Home?"

After hearing this, Ms. Liu just nodded.

Qin Xiang continued: "However, the Liu family has two faults. As long as we use them properly, we can be invincible and accuse the Liu family from the moral high ground."

Mrs. Liu's eyes finally lit up, she looked at Qin Xiang and urged: "You have been talking for a long time, and finally you have something to say that makes people happy. I am so anxious, little ancestor, please say it quickly!"

Qin Xin chuckled, but stopped teasing her and said, "I've finished analyzing the Liu family's strengths, what about the weaknesses? The Liu family's shortcomings are good face."

In fact, all families are good-looking, but some people are heavier, and some people don't care about this burden at all.

It's like princes, ministers, and nobles from aristocratic families all have good reputations, but the Ninth Prince's Palace doesn't care. They hold the unmarried girl in their hands and let her run the family. Now they have a child, and they just casually say that they picked it up. , not caring whether others believe it or not, even where did you pick it up? I don't want to think carefully about how I picked it up.

"The Liu family has a good reputation, but the Liu family praised the concubine to the sky and left the principal wife in her parents' house for more than ten days without paying attention to her. It can be seen that the Liu family is very disrespectful to the principal wife."

Speaking of this, Qin Xian suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "Qin Yao has a reputation as a virtuous and talented woman in Dancheng. Why did she receive a cold reception when she arrived at the Liu family? Isn't it because the Liu family's son spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife?"

When Qin Xiang helps Qin Yao, she is actually helping herself. Don't think that since she has no contact with Qin Yao, the two have no relationship. In the eyes of others, Qin Yao and Qin Xi are two sisters. Qin Yao's reputation has been ruined, and Qin Xi can't help it. Those who take care of themselves may lay the foundation for Xiao Chenyu's entry into officialdom in the future.

People at this time valued family and blood relationships very seriously, and it was not something you would just deny if you said you didn't.

Even if our families are separated and we never interact with each other, if one person commits a serious crime that affects the nine clans, do you think we can get away with it by never interacting with each other? This is impossible.

"Then what should we do specifically?" Ms. Liu still asked.

"The Liu family started from the officials of the aristocratic family. They want to clean up the Liu family and divorce Qin Yao. They can still marry another official's daughter innocently. However, we have no background anyway, so why not Start with things that are not on the table.”

Mrs. Liu listened, and Qin Xi whispered in her ear: "Find someone suitable to write down some stories about the Liu family for others to entertain, and make it into an opera to sing for everyone."

The Liu family dotes on concubines and destroys their wives, never spending the night in the main house, so that the main wife does not have any children, but the bastard son is born first. Anyway, the Liu family is not mentioned in a word, but people immediately know that this is the Liu family's business.

Mrs. Liu's eyes widened: "This uncle Liu also spent the night in Qin Yao's house before?"

"How do outsiders know? It's just half true and false, let's see who wants to believe it!"

Qin Xiang's works are all about conspiracies, not scheming, but they are useful even if they are not on the stage. This is something Qin Yaozu has seen clearly. However, now Liu has realized this in a deeper level: Qin Yao's boudoir affairs For example, Qin Xiang showed no shame or guilt.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but wonder: Will Qin Xi take this opportunity to take revenge on her mother-in-law and sister-in-law Qin Yao?
