The general's wife through time

Chapter 6 Rejecting the Duan Family Madam

That night, Xue Tang had a strange dream.

In the dream, Qin Huangyuan in the portrait was still a general. He was far away in the north, but he sent a letter home, which was a divorce letter to Xue Tang. The divorce letter clearly stated that the reason for divorcing his wife was: embezzling the Qin family's property and being unruly. vicious.

In the dream, after Qin Huangyuan disappeared, he met a simple and lovely woman named Ling Yuwei.

Ling Yuwei looks very ordinary and is not particularly smart, but every move she makes is pleasing to Qin Huangyuan and the people around her.

Qin Huangyuan didn't take Ling Yuwei seriously at first, but later he was gradually moved by her.

When Qin Huangyuan returned in triumph, he brought Ling Yuwei back and asked for a marriage. The wedding was grand and shocked the entire Jing Dynasty.

In the dream, Xue Tang was dissatisfied with being abandoned and caused all sorts of troubles for Ling Yuwei. Eventually, everyone despised her. Qin Shuanyuan finally couldn't bear it anymore and sent Qin Lu to kill her.

Xue Tang woke up from his dream and stared at the curtain for a long time.

She was not surprised by her dream because it was a superpower from her previous life. Not only can she do divination, but she can also predict the future through dreams, but every time she uses her powers, she loses a lot of energy.

She was very puzzled, how could her powers be used on those insignificant people and things, and why was it not under her control? !

Whether Qin Huangyuan divorces or not, it is none of her business who he chooses as his wife.

She will not become cannon fodder in other people's emotional journey.

She calculated that her life span was wasted even if she couldn't bear to use her powers.

Fortunately, she woke up in time this time and could regain her energy after three days of rest.

She felt like her heart was bleeding.

In the next few days, Xue Tang stayed in her room, sleeping and reading. If there was a bathroom and toilet here, she would not leave the room at all.

The two personal maids, Lu Rui and Qiu Die, served her wholeheartedly, serving tea, pouring water, delivering meals, and tidying up the room. They worked diligently every day.

Haitangju, where Xue Tang lived, had been uncharacteristically quiet these past few days, which made Grandma Wang feel in a trance. If she hadn't seen the person sitting at the table through the window every day, she would have almost thought that the person inside was drunk and unconscious again.

Qin Mingrui stood at the door of Haitang Residence and looked at the rising sun.

Five days and nights have alternated, and his injuries have healed. Why does Xue Tang still lock himself in the room?

At this time, Qiudie happened to walk by carrying a change of clothes.

Qin Mingrui reached out to stop her and asked, "Xue, Xue Tang hasn't come out yet?"

After Qiudie bowed and saluted, she cautiously replied, "Madam said she wanted to go into seclusion."

Qin Mingrui frowned.

Retreat? Is it possible that you really want to become a monk and practice?

Could it be that she was shocked after meeting Wei Shengmiao?
But Qin Mingrui couldn't associate the word "suffered" with Xue Tang's temperament.

In the past, Xue Tang would break down the house to vent his anger.

Now Xue Tang will not swallow his anger.

If Wei Shengmiao really made her unhappy, she would definitely come to the door and tear him down instead of hiding in the house.

Self-cultivation, self-reflection, etc. are not Xue Tang’s style at all.

At this moment, Grandma Wang trotted to Qin Mingrui and said hurriedly: "The old lady of the Duan family is here and wants to see Madam."

Because of her fat body, she was out of breath while running.

The old lady of the Duan family? Duan Jingchu’s mother?
Qin Mingrui's first reaction was: Duan Jingchu, that bitch, is going to be jealous and sue his parents!
"Duan Jingchu, he arranged for my eldest brother to be the first, so I beat him. What, is he useless? Shrink yourself and ask my mother to vent his anger?" Qin Mingrui couldn't hold back his anger and had a solemn face. Said: "I'll go see you."

What's the point of having a woman stand in front of him after all the trouble he caused?
"stop!"

He was furious and was about to rush to fight for three hundred rounds when he suddenly heard Xue Tang's cool voice. It was as if roots had taken root under his feet and he froze on the spot, unable to move.

He turned his head in slow motion, tightened his clenched fists, and explained with suppressed anger: "You don't know, the old lady of the Duan family is very protective of her calves, and she is very good at confusing right and wrong, and she will rely on her elders. If you go, you will suffer a loss." of."

Xue Tang had a complete view of Qin Mingrui's series of reactions just now.

Young people are still too young to be independent, but if they are responsible and can distinguish between relatives and friends, they will definitely become successful in the future if they are well educated.

She raised her hand to straighten the broken hair on her temples, and said calmly: "Mother Wang, go tell the old lady of the Duan family that I am sick. When I get better, we will make an appointment to see you."

Grandma Wang: "???"

Just give it back? !
Seeing her stunned, Xue Tang said: "Even a small family has its own rules. What's more, we are a general's palace. Shouldn't we submit the post before visiting? Even if I have nothing to do all day long, I can't do it at any time. Waiting to receive her, so what if she is older? She is here to see the mistress of the Qin family, a general's wife who has a higher status than her, not a junior of their Duan family. The Qin family cannot help her do whatever she wants." Xue Tang's reading in the past few days has not been in vain. He has already roughly understood the rules and etiquette of this dynasty, so he feels confident in speaking now.

Her words made everyone around her stunned.

Qin Mingrui even seemed to see the Qin family's aunt who passed away long ago. She was not afraid even if she stood in front of His Majesty and argued her case. She also had such a look in her eyes. She was not angry and intimidating. She shocked the whole audience the moment she stood. Especially There is style.

Qin Mingrui suppressed his excitement while his blood was boiling.

Although some things can be left to time, he and the Duan family can't solve it in time. If it takes a few days, they will have to face it later.

He coughed lightly and said weakly: "I'd better go. If you go back like this, the Duan family will pester you in the future."

Xue Tang looked at Grandma Wang and said only three words: "Go and answer the question!"

Only then did Grandma Wang come back to her senses, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and hurriedly ran to the front yard again.

Xue Tang turned around and came to Qin Mingrui. He raised his head and looked at the boy who was a head taller than him. "It's good that you are responsible. But some things, when they develop to a certain extent, become a competition between adults. Children should bear the responsibility." No."

Qin Mingrui choked.

He is not a child, and you are only twenty-five!

He was thinking about how to retort, but in the end his mind twitched and what he said was: "I didn't want to protect you."

"Yes, I know." Xue Tang would not argue with him about such a meaningless matter. He just responded lightly, then patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

Qin Mingrui was confused.

No, what do you know?

Also, what's going on with the hands on his shoulders?

His relationship with you is not that good!

He wanted to turn around and leave. He didn't want to talk to Xue Tang, but when he thought of the way she said, "Behave," just like her aunt taught them back then, he subconsciously shook his head, "No."

Xue Tang ordered Lu Rui, "Let's have dinner!"

Lu Rui finally recovered from her trance, "Okay, okay madam."

Qin Mingrui never imagined that one day he would have breakfast with Xue Tang.

Breakfast is very simple, just porridge, steamed buns, and a few dishes of side dishes.

Qin Mingrui couldn't believe his eyes. This woman has always been extravagant, eating delicacies from all over the world, why did she suddenly become watery?

"You, you just eat this?"

Xue Tang said calmly: "Yes. I want to lose weight."

At this time, Qiudie, who was out, walked in quickly and saw Qin Mingrui here. She looked at Xue Tang and didn't know whether she should say anything.

Xue Tang said calmly: "Let's talk, they are all family members, there is no need to avoid taboos."

Qiudie: "Madam, you asked Butler Qin to deliver the invitation. Duan Jingchen responded and said he would be here the day after tomorrow."

Qin Mingrui almost choked to death after taking a bite of the bun, "Duan Jingchen? Did you invite him to your house? Will he come?"

Xue Tang: "I asked Butler Qin to tell him that I was the one who beat Duan Jingchu. Even if it was just to vent his anger, he would come."

Qin Mingrui almost jumped up, "No, if you just don't bring it upon yourself, aren't you looking for trouble for yourself? No wonder the old lady of the Duan family came to visit."

Xue Tang: "It's different. The old lady of the Duan family probably doesn't know the truth yet."

Do you know the difference between morning and evening?

Qin Mingrui felt that either he was stupid or Xue Tang was crazy, otherwise he couldn't figure out why Xue Tang did this.

Xue Tang saw Qin Mingrui's anxiety and confusion, and began to follow the temptation.

"First, to solve the problem, you must not only face the problem head-on, but also find the right person. Duan Jingchen's ability to take charge of the Duan family shows that he has a brain. Talking to him can reduce big problems to small and achieve a win-win situation, and the old lady of the Duan family will make simple things easier. The problem became complicated and eventually dragged everyone into a whirlpool of contradictions, so I refused to see her at this time."

"Secondly, when I was dealing with Duan Jingchu, I had another purpose, which was to meet the head of the Duan family. There are some things that I need to cooperate with him. The cause of this chess game is you, but now I am the chess player, so I won’t let you interfere, you can’t solve my situation.”

"Thirdly, Duan Jingchen is the head of the Duan family. He is an imperial merchant appointed by the emperor. It can also be said that he has everything to do with everything. At this time, you are willing to come to the door for such a trivial matter as a fight between you. Do you know what it means?"
