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

Chapter 68
"Third Miss, please be happy. Don't show it later. Madam didn't allow me to tell you." Xiao Cui'er and Jinyu worked together to help Mu Qingwan comb a few strands of bangs to cover her forehead. The red mark that came out.

Even her grief and indignation hitting the dressing table could be understood as being overly happy, Mu Qingwan wanted to cry but had no tears, so she could only sit blankly and let them manipulate her.

After dressing up, Jinyu stayed to tidy up the house, and Xiao Cuier accompanied Mu Qingwan to greet the Kang family. Under the eaves of the main house, she met Mu Qinglian who also came to pay her respects. Mu Qinglian was probably still engrossed in Bai Yuhe's missed appointment In the sadness, some listless.The two stepped across the threshold one after the other, greeted Mrs. Kang, and sat down on the chair on the right.

Mrs. Kang ordered the maids to prepare breakfast, and said to Mu Qingwan: "This morning, I heard from the woman who sells flowers that the second son of the Bai family actually set the fire on the Bai family farm that day, but he did something wicked. I didn't ask for favors, and I was burned myself." Kang Shi is a kind person, and easily ignores people's right and wrong, but the fire endangered Mu Qingwan's life, so when she talked about Bai Yubo, it was quite Some gnashing of teeth means.

It's only been three days, and it's been found out?It seems that Xiao's mother and son still have some tricks.Mu Qingwan hurriedly asked: "Then how does Mrs. Xiao plan to deal with him?"

Kang said: "He is injured, Aunt Huang and Bai Caiban have taken good care of him, and finally we have to agree that when he recovers, he will play another [-] boards."

this one?He killed so many people, and only fined twenty boards?And still wait for the injury to heal before punishing?This is too light!Mu Qingwan couldn't believe it, and shouted: "The Bai family suffered heavy losses, and many people died. How could Mrs. Xiao spare him so lightly?"

Kang sighed: "The fire burned down the house, but the Bai family has money and does not lack these, so they can rebuild it immediately; as for the dead, they are all slaves, and they don't even need to go to court; and Aunt Huang is pregnant. Bai Caiban naturally forced Mrs. Xiao to take a lighter punishment." After she finished speaking, she continued, "It's because that village was prepared to receive nobles, and we were almost killed, otherwise I'm afraid we wouldn't even have [-] boards. .”

Those human lives are so worthless... Even though she already knew that this is a society with strict hierarchy and no fairness, Mu Qingwan remained deeply silent.

Mu Qinglian has been in shock ever since Kang opened her mouth. It was only then that she came to her senses and hurriedly asked: "Did the second son of the Bai family set the fire on the Bai family village?? He was also injured?" ??"

Not only did he set fire to her, but he almost raped/defiled her. He didn't get burned to death yesterday, so it's too cheap for him!Mu Qingwan heard Mu Qinglian's tone, she was quite concerned, she couldn't help but snorted coldly, and said: "My mother and I almost lost our lives there that day, why, Fourth Sister doesn't care if we are injured or not , but worried about the culprit of the arson?"

Only then did Mu Qinglian realize that she had made a slip of the tongue, her face flushed, and she hurriedly said, "It's not that I don't care about Third Sister and Auntie, it's just that I was too surprised. Second Young Master usually looks at a gentle and elegant person, how could he become an arsonist?" What about people?"

Suave?Does this come down to the fact that beauty is in the eye of the beholder?That Bai Yubai's sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, his words and deeds are indistinct, how could it have anything to do with gentleness?Mu Qingwan felt speechless.

The Kang family didn't say anything about Mu Qinglian, but just told her not to try to invite Bai Yuhe over to play at home these few days. Although the elder brother is the elder brother and the younger sister is the younger sister, the position must be corrected.

With Kang's character, being able to say such a thing, it can be seen that she was really angry. Mu Qinglian didn't dare to disobey her orders, so she nodded obediently.

The maids had already prepared breakfast, and Mrs. Kang invited them to sit down. The three of them ate breakfast together, went to the inner room to drink tea, and embroidered flowers for a while. Mu Qingwan and Mu Qinglian just left and went back to their rooms.

Back in the west chamber, Mu Qingwan told Jinyu the news she heard just now. Jinyu was filled with righteous indignation and thought that Bai Yubai's punishment was too light. It's a pity that this is the Bai family's housework. They also can't intervene.

In just one morning, Mu Qingwan was frightened first, then depressed. She was really not in a good mood, so she took Jinyu down to rest, took out the copybook, and emptied her mind. .

The summer is long, and the sky dawns early. Jinyu comes in to extinguish the mosquito coils from the previous day, and opens the windows to breathe.Mu Qingwan lay on the bed in a daze for a while, got up to wash her face and put on her makeup, and applied that jade girl peach blossom powder on her face.As she was busy with her work, she suddenly saw Xiao Cui'er coming again, and she couldn't help feeling a little bit in her heart, but don't bring another explosive news, which would make her dizzy.

However, the things in this world, as long as they are not good, are all about what they are thinking and what they are doing. I saw Xiao Cui'er running out of breath, and said in shock: "Third Miss, Third Miss, guess who it was this early in the morning?" coming!"

Who's coming?Can Xiao Cuier be so surprised?Mu Qingwan couldn't figure it out.

Jin Yu said: "I saw a matchmaker come in just now, and it was for the third girl to propose marriage?" Could it be that Xiao Cui'er reacted like this because it was not a good relationship?

But Xiao Cui'er shook her head, exaggeratedly stretched out two fingers, and said: "You will never guess that it is a matchmaker sent by the Bai family to propose marriage to our fourth girl for their second son! "

What? !Now, the expressions on Mu Qingwan and Jinyu's faces became exactly the same as hers.

Bai Yubai set fire to his own village, ruined his reputation, and even before his injuries healed, he rushed to propose marriage?Moreover, at the beginning of this month, he proposed marriage to Mu Qingwan. It's only been a few days, and it was changed to Mu Qinglian again?Did he think that the girls of the Mu family were Chinese cabbage in the vegetable market, and he was left to pick and choose?

Mu Qingwan thought about it, her face darkened, and she asked Xiao Cui'er, "Is my father at home? How did they reply to the matchmaker about this matter just now?"

Xiao Cui'er said: "It's still early, the master is at home, he was going to throw the marriage proposal post on the matchmaker's face, but was stopped by the third master and the fourth master, so he had to keep the post and say wait They will write back after discussing it.”

discuss?Are they still negotiating?What is there to discuss?Are Mu Laosan and Mu Laosi's minds stuffed with paste? !Mu Qingwan's face sank like water, and she asked, "The third and fourth masters have come into the city so early?"

"He's here to play the autumn wind again, and he brought all his empty pockets with him." Xiao Cui'er said in a low voice, "The dowry gift promised by the matchmaker is very generous, and he also pities that the fourth girl is an orphan and doesn't want any dowry. The third master and the fourth It's no wonder the master isn't tempted."

This is really a coincidence. Could it be that the Bai family had counted on their coming before letting the matchmaker in?Mu Qingwan thought about it for a while, and always felt that there was something strange about this matter, so she asked Xiao Cui'er, "Didn't you just say yesterday that Bai Caiban intended to facilitate my marriage with his eldest son? Came here to propose a marriage for the second son of his family again? If I remember correctly, the Geng Tie of the eldest son of his family is still in our house."

The behavior of the Bai family is really like the relationship between wives and concubines in their family. It is a mess and they can't figure out the rules at all.Moreover, Aunt Huang is the most powerful person, so it's really surprising that she would take a fancy to Mu Qinglian.

Xiao Cui'er obviously didn't understand either, she shook her head blankly.

Although Mu Qinglian is not a good guy, and it would be suitable to make a pair with Bai Yubai, but the Bai family looked down on the Mu family so much, and picked a girl from the Mu family at will, which really makes people angry. Qingwan wished she could rush to the hall immediately and explain the truth to Mu Laosan and Mu Laosi, but she was unmarried, if she spoke because of her marriage, she might not wait for Mu Laosan and Mu Laosan to talk about it. When the fourth child made a move, Mu Changguang had already scolded her for being unruly.

As a woman, living in this era is really unfortunate. She can't talk about marriage independently, and she can't even express her opinion on other people's marriage. Mu Qingwan lamented and lay down on the dressing table.

Even Xiao Cui'er and Jin Yu knew that this marriage was inappropriate, and Mu Lao San and Mu Lao Si's behavior was even more inappropriate, so they both fell silent.

After a while, Xiao Cui'er began to help Mu Qingwan comb her hair, saying: "Third Miss, you have to cheer up, we can't get involved in Fourth Miss's marriage, but you still have to do something about the autumn wind. Otherwise, our family Sooner or later, their family property will be emptied by them."

Well, cheer up, go and see what brand they are playing this time, Shi Tianci is now Mu Laosan's "brother-in-law", and he should try his best when he comes up with bad ideas.Mu Qingwan sat up straight, finished dressing with the help of Xiao Cui'er and Jinyu, and went out to the main room.

In the hall, Mu Lao San and Mu Lao Si were indeed there, they were sitting side by side on the left seat, on the right, there were Lu Shi and Yu Shi sitting, and Hong Jiao standing.

Mu Laosan had so many concubines, and he never brought them out. Only this Hongjiao came in, and she led her relatives here, which showed that she was very favored.Shi Tianci's righteous sister is really capable.

Aunt Luo also came back with her. She was sitting next to Mu Changguang at this time, treating the Kang family as if it were air. When she saw Mu Qingwan coming in, she only raised her eyelids.

Mu Qingwan raised her foot and stepped over the threshold, and suddenly found that Shi Tianci also had a seat in the room, sitting on the last chair on the left. Hongjiao brought it here.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but as soon as Lu Shi and Yu Shi saw her coming in, they hid their jewelry inside. Mu Qingwan laughed secretly, went forward to salute, and greeted with a smile: "Several uncles and aunts came here like this It's early, I must have set off before dawn, it was really hard."

Mu Laosan and Mu Laosi's husband and wife both have thick skins, even if they heard the sarcasm in these words, they still sat firmly on the mountain. The crops here are almost dying, so we came here early to beg your father to donate some money to help us fight the drought."

Look, it is directly talking about donation, and even the word "borrow" is omitted, what a thick-skinned one!Those lands of theirs have never been well planted at all, and are completely in a semi-barren state. Even if there is no drought, they can't harvest a few grains of grain. What's the use of drought resistance?This so-called drought resistance is just a lie to Mu Changguang, right?Mu Qingwan sneered secretly as she listened.
