Chapter 37 Visiting Qizhu
Qi Luo came to Ling Cheng's mansion, she went to the old lady's first to pay her respects, after all, she still has to save face.The old lady asked, "How is your mother? Is the child okay?"

"Emiang's body is a little weak, but my younger brother is fine, he is fat and cute."

"I don't worry about that. Your Ama's blood is weak, and your mother-in-law has done a good job this time. As an aunt, I am very happy. I will definitely go to congratulate myself when the full moon is over."

Qi Luo repeatedly said, "How can I bother my ancestor? When my younger brother is full moon, Erniang will personally bring him to pay respects to my ancestor."

The old lady looked at Qi Luo and said, "I see that your speech has improved a lot. You are the only young girl in your house and have no playmates. Qi Luo, you should come here often. Qi Zhen and Qi Zhu will take good care of you. "

"Now I have to help Erniang take care of my younger brother and study. I don't have big ambitions. I think this is good. Besides, Sister Zhen has to be busy with entertainment, and Sister Qizhu is also preparing for the draft. I don't want to bother them. "

The old lady asked Dong E's, "Yes, Qi Zhu has reached the age of drafting. How are you preparing? Do you have any arrangements? Although she was not born by you, you are her aunt after all, and Qi Zhu is also Ling As the eldest daughter, you still need to prepare carefully."

Dong E said angrily, "What are you talking about? This girl didn't know who she listened to, and she discussed with me yesterday that she didn't want to be the concubine of those noble people. In fact, being a concubine in her capacity is already flattering her. Eight Fujin Now frequently entertaining those ministers and relatives, Qi Zhen is also often called to help, she has been paying attention to those royal relatives outside, there are a few high-status and powerful ones who want to point out a concubine or something, This was a good opportunity for Qi Zhu, but Qi Zhu had an idea, don't mention how angry I was yesterday, wasn't I doing it for her future glory and wealth? Seeing what she meant, it seemed like I was harming her."

The old lady said seriously, "I know you. You are virtuous and capable, and you treat Qi Zhu like your own. That girl can't figure it out now, and she won't be able to thank you in the future? Besides, it's not something she can decide. It’s not up to you to arrange? But although it depends on the status of power and family, you still have to choose carefully.”

Listening to their conversation, Qi Luo felt very aggrieved. With two powerful people who can decide Qi Zhu's marriage, what will happen to Qi Zhu's future fate?Qi Luo knew that although the emperor and the concubine had the final say on the marriage of a beautiful girl, the family status of the draft was also very important. Although Ling Cheng was a third-rank official, he did not have a title on him. Qi Zhu wanted to marry as Dong E and the others thought. Giving relatives and nobles must be a concubine or something.Although Ling Cheng is now a capable person under Eighth Prince's subordinates, his status may not be very high, so it is not ruled out that Ling Cheng uses Qi Zhu to please people with higher status than him or to win over important officials.Qi Luo thought of Qi Zhu who was as elegant as a girl, and knew what he should do.Seeing the heated discussion between Dong Eshi and the old lady, Qi Luo knew that it didn't make sense from here, they were already fascinated by power and wealth.Qi Luo said coldly, "Old Ancestor, I want to visit Sister Qizhu, she gave me a beautiful embroidery, I want to thank her face to face."

Dong E's said, "Okay, you should also persuade Qi Zhu well, don't listen to those people's nonsense, can I still harm her? Qi Zhen is her own sister, so can you hope her to live well?"

Qi Luo didn't speak, she really hated Dong Eshi now, looking at her face, she wanted to beat her up.It's better to leave quickly, otherwise I will really lose control.When he came to the place where Qi Zhu lived, the environmental conditions were no different from the last time he came, but Qi Luo felt that the place was more depressing and colder.

"Miss Luo, you are here, servant girl, please persuade our girl well. She hasn't had a drop of water since yesterday, and her body is weak. This is not acceptable." "I see, I'll go and see Qi Sister Zhu."

After entering the inner room and seeing Qi Zhu lying weakly on the bed and weeping, Qi Luo's first reaction was, isn't this the classic move of Lin Daiyu?Seeing Qi Luo, Qi Zhu quickly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Sister Luo is here, please sit down quickly, I will ask the servant girl to pour you tea."

Qi Luo went straight to Qi Zhu's bed and sat down, took Qi Zhu by the hand and said, "Sister Qi Zhu, you have to pay attention to your body, no matter how big it is, it doesn't matter as much as your body."

Qi Zhu said lightly, "Sister Luo, why is it so difficult for people to live? I don't want to be ignored. My greatest wish is to marry an ordinary husband and become her regular wife. Why does God even I can't even satisfy such a small wish, so why did I come to this world to suffer this trip?"

"Sister Qi Zhu, don't think like this. God is giving you a test. You must get through it. There is no obstacle in this world that we cannot overcome. We must learn to be strong."

Qi Zhu said firmly, "I've made up my mind. If they really send me to be a concubine, I'll have my hair twisted and become an aunt. Anyway, I don't have anything to miss in this world."

Qi Luo never imagined that a feudal girl who was educated in ancient times would be able to do this in order not to be a concubine. Qi Luo felt sincere admiration. As a modern intellectual woman, she might not be able to do what Qi Zhu is like. "Sister Qi Zhu, are you really so desperate? Even if you marry as your wife as you wish, your husband may take a concubine in the future. Don't you want to have a husband with someone else?"

"Sister Luo, you are a concubine and you don't understand the situation of concubines, especially in a family like mine. All the good things and all the glory belong to Qi Zhen. I am like a shadow. All this is because I am a concubine. The reason, how can my own suffering make my future children like me? The concubine is always cautious and humble in front of his first wife. I have seen too much. I don’t want my future fate to be the same. Besides, if I really marry into the family of the royal family, then the rules there will only be stricter, and the inner house struggle will only become more intense, and I will definitely collapse. Just like you said, ordinary people may accept Concubine, but as a first wife, I will try my best to avoid such a situation from happening, if it happens, then I am also a first wife, and my children and I will not suffer this kind of crime again."

Although Qi Luo has seen the relationship between his first wife and concubine on TV and in novels, how can Qi Zhu experience such a real and profound situation personally.Through Qi Zhu's words, Qi Luo also understands that these are realities, and maybe he will face this situation in the future, so how will he choose in the future?Should he obey fate or be resolute like Qi Zhu?Although Qi Luo didn't know how she should choose, she knew that she was not as irresistible as Qi Zhu. Qi Luo had parents and younger brothers, and she knew that she couldn't let them go.Qi Luo secretly scolded himself for thinking these things, isn't their family working hard to get rid of the fate of their little wife?The most important thing now is to help Qi Zhu think of a way, he can't watch such a gentle and beautiful girl become a monk.Qi Luo thought carefully about the Qingchuan novels he had read before, and wondered if there was anything he could learn from.

Seeing that Qi Luo frowned and did not speak, Qi Zhu thought that maybe he was frightening her, "Sister Luo, don't worry about your future draft, uncle and aunt only have you as a daughter, and they love you very much. You arranged it, and they will definitely not let you have my fate."

"Sister Qi Zhu, I'm not thinking about the future, I'm just thinking about how I can help you." "I've thought about everything I can think of, and I don't think there is anything I can do." Qi Zhu said without hope.

Qi Luo suddenly asked, "Sister Qizhu, what will happen if you lose the election?" I'm not afraid of your jokes, Sister Luo, in fact, our family is just a foreign power, how can I not be used if I am still valuable?"

Qi Luo said, "Sister Qizhu's reputation alone is important, but it is not the most important thing. Losing the election will definitely affect your reputation. It is also difficult for the cousin to want you to enter the family of important ministers as a concubine. Besides The reason for your failure is that you are not in good health. It is better to have a disease that no one knows about. A new hot spring village has been built, which is beautiful and very suitable for recuperation. When the time comes, I will ask my mother-in-law and Aunt Tang to let you go there to recuperate. I think Aunt Tang will not refuse."

"Although illness can be pretended, but there is still a doctor? Doesn't the doctor understand everything at a glance?"

Thinking of that classic scene, Qi Luo smiled and said, "I have a solution for this. You just say that you have a severe headache, no matter how serious it is. With the current medical technology, you can't find out what's wrong with your head. Wait until the doctor diagnoses your pulse." Sometimes you secretly hold the potato under your armpit, and sometimes force and relax, then your pulse condition will not be stable, plus you suddenly get sick, and your head hurts badly. The doctor may diagnose you as terminally ill In this way, Auntie Tang can't do anything to you, she can only let you take care of her."

Qi Zhu said happily, "Can it really be done? It would be great if it can be done."

"If you do it according to my method, it will definitely work, but it will affect you. Even if your illness is cured by then, you may not have a very good family when you marry in the future. Of course, you may meet A person who treats you sincerely, but no one can say anything about the future, I hope you will understand and don't regret it when the time comes."

Qi Zhu picked up the scissors in the sewing basket, cut off a small strand of hair and swore, "I won't regret it, I won't be someone else's concubine, no matter what happens in the future, I won't regret my choice now."

Seeing Qi Zhu like this, Qi Luo said softly, "Sister Qi Zhu, I really admire you, and I will definitely support you." Qi Zhu held Qi Luo's hand, conveying her determination to her.

The servant girl shouted outside, "Miss Zhen, why are you here? Our girl and Miss Luo are in the room? The servant girl is going to inform you,"

I only heard Qi Zhen say, "No need, I can go in by myself." Qi Zhen who entered the inner room looked at Qi Luo coldly, Qi Luo knew that Qi Zhen did not hear their plan, she should have just arrived , just looking at her like this, it seems that she can't be kind today.
