Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 13 A New Dangerous Situation
Mu Qingwan has never been in contact with the Bai family, but she already knows a few members of their family well. In the previous life, the young masters and ladies of their family had a lot of contacts with the Mu family... Thinking about the timeline Mu Qingwan narrowed her eyes involuntarily, the procurement in the yamen is a fat job, and Bai Caiban relied on this to collect a lot of money, and the degree of wealth in the family is even worse than that of the Mu family; Bai Caiban has a wife The first concubine, the second son in Aunt Luo's mouth, is the son of Aunt Huang, the concubine's room. The reason why she hastily recommended the second son of the Bai family must be because when she was at home just now, Aunt Huang knew that the Mu family was about to retire, so she agreed. For her own good, I entrusted this matter to her - no wonder her attitude changed so quickly, she really had a plan.

This Aunt Huang has been favored by the Bai family for many years, and she has not declined to this day. Because she has a son and a daughter by her side, she is arrogant at home.The son raised by such a person will naturally not be much better. He is ignorant, idle, and especially loves to search for flowers. He is a frequent visitor to various brothels in Yangxing County. The timeline even says that he later contracted the disease , until the deity died, still not cured.

However, at this time, Bai Yubai just likes to go to brothels, and has not contracted the disease of willows, so perhaps this hobby is not a big problem in the eyes of Kang, who is a local. After all, her own husband, Mu Qingwan's biological father, Mu Changguang, is also like this, isn't it?
Aunt Luo didn't talk about this topic any more, but when she treated Kang, she deliberately flattered her. She toasted and served food, and was extremely attentive. It was the first time that Kang was treated like this, and she was quite flattered. Mu Qingwan looked up and sighed silently. After a while, it seems that the Kang family will probably agree to this marriage because of Aunt Luo's attitude. More importantly, there is Mu Changguang over there. He would probably agree with Aunt Luo's popularity.

It seems that even if she gets rid of the predicament of the Yu family's resignation, she still has no peace, but that's good, her novels always need plots, don't they?Otherwise, if it’s mediocre, who would like to watch it?Mu Qingwan thought optimistically, and took another chopstick of meat. Well, the meat of this era has no clenbuterol, no ripening agent, and it tastes delicious, tender and delicious. Just to be able to eat such delicious dishes, she also The fighting spirit is high.

Mu Qinglian raised her head and glanced at Aunt Luo, feeling bitter in her heart. The Bai family is rich, and they are among the best in Yangxing County. She didn't tell her niece about such a good marriage, but she went to tell Mu Qingwan. , It's just pissed off.

At this moment, Aunt Luo's thoughts were all on Kang Shi, so she didn't pay attention to her thoughts. After eating and paying the bill, she personally supported Kang Shi and went downstairs to the carriage.

Mu Qinglian fell behind, full of hatred, and began to ravage her handkerchief again, and said to Mu Qingwan in a strange way: "Congratulations to the third sister, so soon she will have another family."

Mu Qingwan originally wanted to retort, saying "marry if you want", but suddenly remembered that Mu Qinglian had already started contacting Shi Tianci at this time, so she took a deep breath, held her breath, and blushed instantly, He shyly ran down the stairs.

Mu Qinglian stood at the top of the stairs, looking at her back, her face became more and more gloomy, she gritted her teeth resentfully, and just followed down.

When they got home, they all went to the living room, waiting for news from the yamen.Not long after, Mu Changguang came back with a face full of joy, striding very big, and he looked elated.

Because of Aunt Huang's entrustment, Aunt Luo was more concerned about her family's resignation than Kang and Mu Qingwan, so she couldn't wait to go up to her and asked, "Master, what is the magistrate's decision?"

Mu Changguang was in a great mood, laughed and sat down, took the tea offered by Kang, drank it dry, and said: "The county magistrate is wise and powerful, so it is naturally a fair decision. Not only did he rule that the marriage between the Yu family and our family is invalid, And the master of their family, Yu Tianshi, has to spend a year and a half in prison!" He laughed even more freely as he spoke, "It was supposed to be in prison for two years, because their family can afford money to avoid disaster, So the county magistrate was lenient and reduced his sentence for half a year."

Seeing him laughing like this, part of the money that was paid to avoid disasters must have fallen into his pockets. She is a cheap father, and she really has a "good way of making money"... But Yu's family is bankrupt and disaster-stricken, it sounds really good It made people very happy, Mu Qingwan laughed happily.

The engagement with Yu's family is invalid, and the Bai family will have a chance. The smile on Aunt Luo's face was a bit brighter than that of Mu Qingwan, and she said, "Master, I have a happy event here that I want to tell you. "She learned from the experience and lessons just now, and stopped talking at this point, but looked at Kang.

Knowing what she was going to say, Kang asked Mu Qingwan and Mu Qinglian to go back to the room first.

Mu Qingwan really didn't want to leave, but in this era without human rights, she, as the person concerned, was not qualified to speak about any major matters involving her marriage, so she could only stand up, salute, and retreat.

Mu Qinglian hadn't found a chance to complain about Aunt Luo, she was also very upset, as soon as she left the hall, she went back to her room angrily.

Mu Qingwan walked slowly back to the west chamber along the eaves, sat in front of the desk, and wrote what happened today into the novel. While writing, she kept an eye on the movement in the hall, waiting for Mu Changguang and Luo As soon as my aunt came out, she dropped her pen and rushed to the main room to inquire about the news.

Mrs. Kang was sitting in the living room having tea, with a faint smile on her face. When she saw Mu Qingwan coming in, she waved her to come closer, and told her joyfully, "It can be said that today is a double happiness! The Yu family wanted to reduce the burden on the family. I was in jail and gave your father a sum of money. Your father said that he was lucky to have you reminded him today, so he dragged Yu's family to the court, so it means that after the family sends the money, he will give you 20 taels..."

20 taels of silver?That's 2 yuan!Mu Changguang was really generous, so it can be seen that the Yu family must have given him a lot of money.Who would be unhappy to be rich, and Mu Qingwan, an ordinary person, is no exception, she immediately laughed like a flower.

Mrs. Kang continued: "You heard what Aunt Luo said when you were in Jujinglou just now. Your father and I both think that the Bai family is good, so we are going to write back to the Bai family."

"Mom!" I really agreed!Mu Qingwan cried out in anxiety, but at the same time she was thankful that it was her own mother who would tell her the news in advance, otherwise she would not know until the dust settled, and it would be too late to say anything.

"What's the matter?" Kang asked puzzled, "The Bai family, we know the whole story, the master of the Bai family is your father's colleague, the second son of the Bai family, you have also met, he was born with a good-looking talent, three years older than you , the age is also suitable..."

From the perspective of family background alone, the Bai family and the Mu family are indeed well-matched, but when she thought that the second son of the Bai family would be infected with the disease of willows in the previous life, Mu Qingwan couldn't be interested at all, and hurriedly persuaded the Kang family. Said: "Mother, you can't agree to this marriage!"

"Why?" Kang became more and more confused, "Qingwan, you're going to be fifteen soon, and it's time to find your husband's family. It's not okay to pick and choose like this."

Mu Changguang must have spoken, so Kang's whole heart is to marry this marriage. In her heart, her husband is heaven, and she must never disobey her, even if her daughter has different opinions.Mu Qingwan had no choice but to ask Kang's: "Mother, who entrusted Aunt Luo to talk about this marriage?"

Kang was taken aback for a moment: "Since it is proposed for the second son of the Bai family, it should be their Mrs. Xiao."

Mu Qingwan asked reluctantly: "Mrs. Xiao of their family is also the wife of the first wife, how could she entrust a concubine to handle the marriage? Besides, when she was at home just now, Mrs. Xiao had been sitting at the table, not When did you entrust her to meet with Aunt Luo? Also, since she was sitting with you, why didn’t she choose to speak face to face, instead, let someone pass on the message? Isn’t this not close and far away?”

Before the Kang family, they only thought that even though they had separated from the Yu family, it was not a good thing after all. It would be impossible for people not to gossip, but if they could find a good husband's family right away, they would definitely be happy No one made irresponsible remarks anymore, so she never thought about whether Mrs. Xiao had proposed this marriage.Now she listened to Mu Qingwan's question, and after careful consideration, it was really the case. Aunt Luo was most likely not entrusted by Mrs. Xiao. If it wasn't Mrs. Xiao, there would be only one person left, the Bai family. Aunt Huang is gone.

How could Aunt Huang have the right to propose a marriage for her son? Even though Kang herself had been deprived of a lot of power that belonged to the main family by the concubine, she still insisted on this point, so she became angry and blamed herself: " I actually took it for granted that this matter was Mrs. Xiao's idea, but I didn't expect that the aunts of our two families were so up-and-coming, and they actually decided to talk about marriage on their own. Fortunately, you came to remind me, otherwise if it is true If you agree, don't you take Mrs. Xiao seriously? And if it spreads, it will make people laugh."

This matter is no small matter, she stood up while talking, disregarding that Aunt Luo would turn her face, she hurriedly went to the east corner courtyard to find Mu Changguang.

Mu Changguang was in the room drinking some wine and eating the side dishes cooked by Aunt Luo herself. How dare you dare to disobey him.Kang was frightened, and shrank back, not daring to speak any more.

Mu Qingwan came up from behind, lifted the wine table, and said loudly: "Father! Ask Aunt Luo, whose idea is this marriage? When she was at home, she never saw Mrs. Xiao. The matter is all at the suggestion of Aunt Huang of the Bai family! Even if you agree, how can you exchange Geng Tie without Mrs. Xiao’s permission? Even if Aunt Huang is protected by Bai Caiban, and disregards Mrs. Xiao’s wishes, the Geng Tie is exchanged forcibly, but the matter If the word is spread, others will say that our Mu family is engaged to an aunt, so how can our daughter go out to meet people?!" She finished speaking in a hurry, and saw Mu Changguang in a daze, afraid that he was drunk and didn't Hearing this, he carried out his own mother, the old lady of the Mu family, Mrs. Guo: "If this story spreads to the countryside, I'm afraid even the old lady won't be able to hold her head up—even if it's a countryman, a concubine At the very least, I still know how to speak!"
