Rebirth of Yijia
Chapter 73
Chapter 73
Fortunately, several people present had their own thoughts and did not pay attention to Yijia's strangeness.
Zhou Yiwan stared straight at the iced grapes and honey water on the stone table, drooling and called out "Sister."
Yijia felt a little better after being teased by her appearance, and brought her a bowl of honey water, saying: "Ice is added in this, so you can't drink too much, just take a couple of sips, you know?"
"Understood!" Zhou Yiwan responded loudly, took two mouthfuls of the bowl, and then obediently put down the bowl.
Yijia nodded her nose, and gave her some grapes from the white porcelain dish.
The little man just sat there and ate the grapes happily.
Only then did Yijia say to Kang Qikun: "Our sisters can just drink this bowl. The weather is so hot, so you should also drink a bowl to cool off the heat." Just because of Kang Qikun's busy work, Yijia is not good anymore because of the previous She ignored him, not to mention Mr. Kang's words, she couldn't just care about her own temper.
Kang Qikun was originally standing on the side, and both of them were over the age of being seated together, although his grandfather had spoken in front of Master Zhou, it was not easy for him to just sit across from the girl.
Wen Yan smiled, picked up the bowl and drank it all in one go.
Then he put the bowl back on the table and returned to the original place, pretending to be looking at the century-old tree.
Yijia thought it was funny, but because of this she developed a little affection for him, but she seldom communicated with men, and she didn't know what to say to Kang Qikun at this moment, so she lowered her head again and helped Yiwan peel the grapes.
Her fingers were slender and long, and the way she peeled the grapes was gentle and elegant. Kang Qikun glanced at her and hurriedly looked away.He has rarely seen such a girl. The ones around him are either concubine younger sisters who are scrambling for others, or those arrogant cousins from his aunt's natal family. There has never been a girl like her, who is quiet and gentle, and can treat her stepmother's younger sister well. So meticulously taken care of.
He could see that she didn't seem to have any feelings for him, but he thought she was very good, and she had such an outstanding appearance, but he had never even heard her name before. It is conceivable that she is a person who rarely goes out and does not love A girl who shows her face and earns fame.No wonder grandfather would personally tell Lord Zhou about this marriage, she is indeed very nice.
If there is such a wife, the house should be peaceful and the life should be comfortable.
"What do you like to do on weekdays?" He couldn't help but want to know more about her.
Normally, the elders would make an engagement if they saw it well, but it was rare for his grandfather to find an opportunity for him to meet Miss Zhou's family in advance.He should take this opportunity to understand her preferences, so that even if she doesn't like him yet, he can treat her according to her preferences after marriage, so she must be happy.
"Do needlework, and then stay with mother and sister." Yijia could see what Kang Qikun meant, but she really couldn't do it like a girl who was as shy as a deer, and she looked at Kang Qikun, I always feel like looking at a young man who is still young, how can I have strange thoughts.
Kang Qikun didn't realize what she meant at all, on the contrary, he felt that she was submissive and chaste, smiling and talking, but Yi Wan suddenly cried out that her stomach hurts.
Yijia breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly apologized to Kang Qikun, then picked up Yiwan and hurried to the west hall.
Kang Qikun opened his mouth, and felt amused. Could it be that he was so scary? He ran away in a hurry without saying a few words to him.
On the way back, Zhou Chengyan and Mr. Kang left first.Kang Qikun stayed behind and rode behind the Zhou family's carriage, escorting the Zhou family's female family members all the way.
Yijia leaned against the window, her eyes darkened, and an indescribable sense of exhaustion surged in her heart.
It would be great if she could not get married, if she could stay in her mother’s house all the time, and be with her father, aunt, and sister. To spend the rest of my life with a strange man.
She thought that she would definitely not be a qualified wife, even though she had a new life, she still didn't know anything.Kang Qikun wanted to be the eldest son, but how could she be the clan's wife? To be a clan's wife requires insight and ability, but in her previous life, she had at most learned some rules and simple housekeeping.In fact, it's not really housekeeping, she just manages the Hongyan Hall, and it's managed with Liang Mingzhi's help.
Thinking about it this way, Liang Ming's previous life was really pitiful. He was the eldest son of the dignified Marquis's mansion, and he would marry a wife who knew nothing like her.
What does he like about himself?
Is it because I met Aunt Ran by chance that I took the initiative to ask Aunt Ran to marry me?If Liang Mingzhi hadn't mentioned it after they got married, she would never have known that they had met.
"What's wrong, Jia'er?" Xiao Song called her, "Are you thinking about Kang Qikun?"
Yijia's voice was muffled, and she answered yes.
Xiao Song was immediately overjoyed. Looking at Yijia's appearance, she thought she had missed Kang Qikun, but she actually admitted that she was thinking about Kang Qikun.She couldn't help smiling all over her face, took Yijia's hand, and said softly: "Then Kang Qikun looks like a good child. When you marry in the future, even Mr. Kang will not allow him to treat you badly. Kang The eldest wife is kind and kind, I heard that although she respects the rules, as long as you do not make mistakes in general, she will not make things difficult for you, after all, you are the granddaughter-in-law that Mr. Kang likes."
Yijia really didn't want to pour cold water on Xiao Song, but when she thought of marrying Kang Qikun and facing his family, she felt a hollowness in her heart, which made her feel very uneasy.She also thought that she could marry someone well, she didn't need to have a deep relationship, as long as she could live a good life with respect as a guest.But seeing Kang Qikun today and hearing what Xiao Song said, she just felt that all of this seemed to be very close to her suddenly, so close that she would be married to the Kang family immediately if she nodded on one side. like.
When you go to a strange place, there are strangers everywhere, even the one closest to you is the same stranger.She feels scared.
"Mother, I don't want to marry into the Kang family." Yijia couldn't help but said.
"Why, do you not like Kang Qikun?" Xiao Song asked hurriedly.
"No, it's because I don't want to be a clan wife, and I don't want to be under such a great pressure." Yijia couldn't help but show fatigue and fear in her eyes, and there was a hint of willfulness in her voice, "There are many things I don't know, and I can do it too. Not a good wife, although you said that you can learn what you don’t know, and Mrs. Kang will teach you, but I just don’t want to, I don’t want to marry him, and I don’t want to learn those things.”
Seeing that she was not in the right state, Xiao Song's heart arose, and she handed Zhou Yiwan, who was snuggling beside her, to Mama Li, who was sitting next to her, embraced Yijia, and patted her on the back lightly.
"Don't worry, just tell me if you have something to say. If you really don't want to marry, your father and I won't force you." She said, "Just tell me that you don't want to marry him." , still don’t want to marry?”
Yijia froze for a moment, her body froze.
That's right, does she not want to marry Kang Qikun, or does she not want to marry someone?
Is it because I just feel that marrying into the Kang family will bring many things and it will be very difficult, and I am unwilling to learn to adapt, or because I don't want to marry, so I feel that no matter who or where I marry, it is not good?
It seems to be the latter.
It's not that she doesn't want to marry Kang Qikun, but that she doesn't want to marry at all.
Her mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
"I don't know, I don't want to get married anyway." She hugged Mrs. Song and murmured, "I want to stay at home, stay with my father and you, and Yiwan will be with you. It's just our family. Together."
"Okay, if you don't want to marry, let's not marry." Xiao Song didn't dare to force her anymore, and coaxed her softly: "Then you stay at home and stay with Yiwan, me and your father."
Yijia responded softly, and it took a while before she let go of Xiao Song.
At the door of the house, she only saluted Kang Qikun when she got off the car, and followed the maid into the house.Xiao Song thanked Kang Qikun outside, and said a few words to be careful on the way back, before sending him away.
"Ma'am, this is a good marriage." Seeing that there was no one else, Mother Li told Xiao Song about it.
"I also know that at such a young age, Kang Qikun advances and retreats appropriately, is polite, and what's more rare is that he has the name of Jie Yuan. With Mr. Kang and Mr. Kang, he will not be so bad in the future, just Yiwan has grown up, and she can't find such a good marriage. But Jiaer's... well, I'd better go back and talk to the master, and ask the master to persuade Jiaer to take a look." Xiao Song frowned slightly, quite a bit Look helpless.
After all, it's not my own, some things I dare not say too much, and I dare not push too hard.How could she not see that Yijia had something on her mind and didn't tell her the truth.But seeing her like that, she couldn't bear to ask too clearly.
Mother Li nodded her head and said, "Do you think we should call Bai Lu over to ask, and see if there is anything we don't know?"
"No need." Xiao Song shook her head, "Jia'er is a smart child, she will not do things she shouldn't do. In the past, I asked Bai Lu to give me news because she was worried that my sister-in-law would encourage her, but now I don't need it." Yes. Let's wait for her to tell herself, she is still young, even if she waits, she can wait."
Mother Li stopped talking, and the stepmother couldn't help it. Even the real aunt couldn't do many things.If the wife is the biological mother of the Second Miss, she will definitely ask why she disagrees with such a good marriage. The Second Miss has not seemed to be incompetent in the past few months. According to her, the Second Miss is better than the wife in terms of housekeeping. Much stronger.
In the evening, Mrs. Song went to Bishuiju to see Yijia in person. Seeing that she was in good condition, she felt relieved.With Yiwan, he simply had dinner at Bishuiju, sat and chatted for a long time before going back.
Yijia sent the person to the gate of Bishuiju, and went back when there were no more people in sight.
In fact, after she said those words in the afternoon, she felt very guilty in her heart.When she was reborn, she caused many troubles to her father and aunt. Today she rejected Kang Qikun, fearing that her father and Mr. Kang would not be able to explain it well.After all, Mr. Kang is his father's teacher, and he has always been very kind to his father. If his father rejects Mr. Kang because of her, he will definitely feel very sorry in his heart.She felt relieved, but her father was going to be in trouble.
Yijia was in a mess, and climbed onto the bed after washing up.
No one was allowed to stay on vigil, and they were all driven out, and they stayed up most of the night thinking about it, before they could barely stare over.
Anping Hou Mansion Hongyan Hall.
Not long after Liang Mingzhi lay down, Chen Ping knocked on the door, and said through the door: "Master, Xuezhu is here."
The room was quiet for a while before the man's deep voice came, "Tell her to go back and work hard."
Chen Ping's hand that was about to push the door paused, as if he couldn't believe it, the uncle didn't see Xuezhu?
It is said that Xuezhu is serving the grandpa's wet nurse, Nanny Tao, and the grandpa personally arranged for someone to serve beside the second miss of the Zhou family. How could it be that the second miss of the Zhou family has something to do, but he suddenly doesn't care about it?
Chen Ping wanted to ask again, but another voice came from the room: "You go down too."
"Yes." Chen Ping had no choice but to agree, and retreated with a puzzled expression.Following Xue Zhu, who was waiting for an answer in the yard, said: "Master wants you to go back and work hard by Miss Zhou's second."
Xuezhu blurted out in surprise and asked: "Will the uncle not listen to what I want to report?"
"Don't listen." Chen Ping looked back again, the room was pitch black, and there was no movement at all.
Xuezhu couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "It's really strange. When I went, my uncle said that I have to report back to every detail. Why don't you listen now?"
"Don't worry about it, you can go back first and do your job well." Chen Ping is not a person who likes to study deeply, since the uncle said he would not listen, then he should not listen.
Xue Zhu came out at night, although she was safe with her kung fu, she was worried about what might happen.So he didn't stay any longer, nodded towards Chen Ping, turned around and hid in the dark night.
"Hey, wait!" Chen An suddenly appeared from nowhere, and whispered towards the back of the room.
Xue Zhu didn't go far, but came out again after hearing the words, and asked Chen An, "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong with Miss Tuesday, please tell me." Chen An said.
Xue Zhu refused, "Master said that Miss Tuesday's affairs should be reported to him personally."
"Don't you want to hear it now, sir, but what if he wants to know again later? My elder brother and I both serve him personally. If you tell me, isn't it equivalent to telling the elder? Our brothers won't tell you The news spread." Chen An said: "Besides, it's not convenient for you to come out, if you want to know later, you have to come again, what a trouble."
Chen Ping scolded his younger brother in a low voice, "Don't bother with the uncle's affairs, Miss Xuezhu, you can go first, don't talk to him."
"Big brother—" Chen An said anxiously, "Why are you so brainless!"
Chen Ping ignored him, and still urged Xue Zhu to leave quickly.
Xuezhu was a little hesitant, and today's matter is not a secret, if the two families are really engaged, the uncle will receive the news soon, it's just a matter of time.
"It's like this. Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou took the second young lady to Dongshan Temple today, and met Mr. Kang's grandson in Dongshan Temple." She said.
Mr. Kang?
"Cabinet Chief Assistant Kang Zhengfang?" Chen Ping asked in surprise.
Xuezhu nodded.
Before Chen Ping came to his senses, Chen An had already asked: "You mean, Mr. Zhou intends to betroth Miss Tuesday to Mr. Kang's grandson?"
"Well, today is a meeting that the two families have discussed in advance, but I don't think the second lady is very interested." Xue Zhu said: "I'll go first, if the uncle asks, you can tell him for me. "
Chen An stood there for a while, then immediately turned around and strode towards the main room.
"Chen An, what are you doing?" Chen Ping hurriedly said from behind.
Chen An tilted his head slightly, but did not stop walking, "This matter is very important, you must tell the uncle immediately."
"The uncle just said that he won't listen, so stop!" Seeing Chen An walking to the door, Chen Ping became anxious, this younger brother always did this, he did everything according to his temper.Such a detached personality really made him, the big brother, worry all the time.
Chen An stopped at the door, looked back at Chen Ping, a smile of unknown meaning suddenly appeared on his face, and he said, "Brother, you don't understand this." He knocked on the door twice, The voice said calmly: "Master, this subordinate has something important to report."
Liang Mingzhi didn't fall asleep, and knew that Xue Zhu stayed in the yard for a while.Although he couldn't hear what they were talking about, Chen An knocked on the door at this moment, presumably there was really something wrong with Yijia.
He was still hesitating in his heart, but he had already ordered directly on his mouth: "Come in!"
It better be something really important!
"Master, Miss Xuezhu is here to report the good news to you. Today, the second Miss of the Zhou family and Mrs. Zhou went to Dongshan Temple, where they met Kang Qikun, the grandson of Kang Zhengfang, the chief assistant of the cabinet. It turned out that it was the Zhou family and Mrs. After discussing with the family, we need to talk about the relatives, and ask them to see each other in advance." The lights in the room were not lit, otherwise, if Chen An saw Liang Mingzhi's gloomy face, he might be too scared to speak, let alone such a relaxed tone .
Without pausing at all, Liang Mingzhi asked in a deep voice, "How is it?"
"How about what?" Chen An didn't understand.
"The result of looking at each other."
This time, Chen An also heard clearly the coldness in Liang Mingzhi's words.He shrank his neck involuntarily, and didn't dare to say more, and directly brought out what Xuezhu said, "Xuezhu said that Miss Tuesday doesn't look very interested, and she doesn't seem very satisfied."
Liang Mingzhi waved his hand, and thought that Chen An would not be able to see him, so he said, "I see, you can go down."
Chen An retreated lightly.
After closing the door, I couldn't help but slander in my heart.
It's so difficult to see why the uncle's expression changes, even today's big event can't be heard in his words, if he is not confident in the clues he has observed for a long time, Chen An would almost think that he is wrong.
The room was so quiet that Chen Ping couldn't help but put his heart in his stomach.
Seeing his younger brother coming out, he couldn't help but slapped him on the head, cursing in a low voice: "You're looking for trouble all day long, I see what you can do if you really offend the uncle someday!"
"You know a fart! One-sided guy!" Chen An was very upset, and dealt with the uncle tremblingly, but who knew that he was beaten by his brother when he came out.He dragged Chen Ping bitterly, dragged him back into the house, and said, "Come on, you are so stubborn, I'll teach you a lesson."
After entering the room, Chen Ping broke away and said displeasedly: "Look at you!"
Chen An didn't care at all, and sat down on the bed swaggeringly, and couldn't help laughing at Chen Ping's angry look.
Chen Ping stared at him angrily.
Only then did Chen An restrain himself, waved his hands, and lowered his voice to ask Chen Ping, "Brother, don't you think our uncle has a very unusual attitude towards Miss Tuesday?"
Chen Ping said casually: "It goes without saying, uncle and Mr. Zhou are..."
"Stop, stop!" As soon as he heard what his elder brother was going to say, Chen An interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said, "Don't tell me that he is the uncle of the second Miss Zhou, and he watched her grow up. She is an older elder, so naturally he cares about her and loves her a little more. This is also because the uncle is not married yet, if he is married and has his own daughter, it will not be like this."
"What else could it be?" Chen Ping doubted.
Chen An lowered his voice and said, "Let me tell you, it's not because of this at all. It's because our uncle fell in love with Miss Tuesday! He... ouch, why are you hitting me!" Before Chen An finished speaking, Chen Ping Just a big slap on his head.
"Can you control your mouth! You talk nonsense, even I can't keep you! Do you know what you are talking about? Can the uncle be such a person? If this is spread, how can you tell the uncle to behave? How do you tell him to get along with Mr. Zhou? How can you be so stupid that you can even say such a thing, how old is Miss Tuesday!" Chen Ping was so angry at this unrestrained younger brother that he was dizzy, only thinking that this would If it wasn't his own brother, he could have killed him with one blow.
Chen An felt wronged and said, "I'm just here to say it to you, how could I say it outside?"
Besides, the uncle must have such thoughts.
Although he doesn't have a woman himself, his ability to observe people is first-class, and every move of the uncle betrays what he thinks in his heart.
Chen Ping said angrily: "You have reason, don't say it, not only don't say it in front of me, you don't even think about it yourself!" Qicheng kicked it with force and shouted: "Go back to your room!"
Chen An narrowly dodged and walked out unwillingly.But in the blink of an eye, he turned around again, and said to Chen Ping, who was still angry inside: "Brother, if you don't believe yourself, you can observe more."
"Get out!" Chen Ping gnashed his teeth and scolded in a low voice.
On the second day, Liang Mingzhi hesitated again and again. After lunch, he still ordered to go down to prepare the carriage. He was going to Zhou's house.
Chen An winked and looked at Chen Ping, Chen Ping was annoyed and faintly felt something was wrong.
But before he left the mansion, he was stopped by the noisy crowd.
Aunt Ran, with disheveled hair, ran in front in a mess, followed by Mama Wang and her two big maids, and then a group of poor maids and servants.
Liang Mingzhi lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
Aunt Ran's knife tip was pressed against her neck, and her skin had already been cut faintly, bleeding from the knife tip.
Seeing Liang Mingzhi, Liang Fujia, the chief executive of the Liang Mansion, felt his legs go limp from fright, and stammered, "Master, Aunt Ran, she..."
Liang Mingzhi waved his hand to stop him from continuing.
Aunt Ran threatened her with death, even if she knew it was fake, Liang Fu couldn't stop her.
Liang Fu stopped talking, but he was anxious and angry. He looked at Aunt Ran who was holding a knife against him, and wished he could go up and help her.
Just die!
If he died, he would be reprimanded at most, but if such a big thing happened, wouldn't the uncle think that he was not good at doing things?
He is the son of the Liang family, and his grandfather was the housekeeper of Liang Laohou when he was alive.But when he arrived at his father's place, he only listened to the orders of the present Marquis of Anping, and later on he followed Aunt Ran's arrangement in everything.Or he felt it was wrong and forced his father to abdicate, and it happened that Liang Mingzhi did not object, so he became the chief housekeeper.
Of course he knew whom to listen to and whom to be.
But before he could show his loyalty, this incident happened.
Liang Mingzhi stopped Liang Fu's words, but did not speak to Aunt Ran.
Aunt Ran couldn't wait for an answer, so she said unwillingly: "Liang Mingzhi, I want to see Lord Hou!" Without the words of Lord Hou, her son would not be able to come back. Only Lord Hou can go this way.
As long as she gets the word of Lord Hou, she will go out to find her third brother, and when the time comes to file a complaint with the emperor, she does not believe that Concubine Liang can afford to lose this man!
Thinking of Concubine Liang and Aunt Ran, it is even more unbalanced. How much money she has given to Concubine Liang over the years, her dowry, the care given to her by Lord Hou, and the expenses she saved from the business, all of which were originally intended for Mingxuan Yes, she gave all of her filial piety to Concubine Liang.But what did Concubine Liang Gui do? When she was in trouble, she just watched helplessly, disregarding her friendship for so many years.
Since she doesn't care about it, don't blame her for dying.
Even if it is embarrassing, it is not her who is most embarrassing, anyway, she is just an aunt, and her son is just a child who is recorded as a legitimate son, but was killed by his elder brother.
"Father is not feeling well. If Auntie wants to see him, wait two more days until he recovers." Liang Mingzhi didn't care about Aunt Ran's petty tricks. If she really dared to threaten him with death, maybe he I really admire her a little bit.
"I am Lord Hou's aunt. Lord Hou is not feeling well. I should be by his side to take care of him. You stop me from seeing him. What is your intention?" Aunt Ran was so angry that her hands shook, but she had nothing to do with him. , had no choice but to press the knife tighter, trying to blackmail Liang Mingzhi.
"My aunt has been feeling unwell for the past two days. I don't want to bother my aunt so much, even my father is reluctant." Liang Mingzhi said lightly, "My aunt should go back to her room and rest. I have something to do, so I won't talk to my aunt."
"Liang Mingzhi!" Aunt Ran yelled sadly, with tears welling up in her eyes, she said, "You... If you leave now, I, I will die for you!"
Liang Mingzhi glanced at her, turned around and got into the carriage without saying a word.
"You forced your concubine to death, forced your younger brother away, and imprisoned your biological father. Liang Mingzhi, you are so bold and confident, do you think that no one can do anything to you?" Aunt Ran saw that Liang Mingzhi was about to leave , I was so anxious that I didn't even bother to show off with a knife, so I walked two steps quickly to stop the carriage.
"Isn't your aunt still dead?" The voices of the people in the carriage didn't fluctuate at all.
Aunt Ran's heart is so cold, this Liang Mingzhi who doesn't like oil and salt.
Threats are useless, coercion is useless, and finding someone is useless. What should her son do?After so many days outside, I don't know how much I have suffered, and I don't know if I'm okay.
In front of everyone, Aunt Ran fell to her knees with a plop, and cried, "I beg you, Mingxuan is your real brother after all, how could you... how could you drive him out of the Marquis Mansion What? Can you tell him to go back to the mansion? I promise, I guarantee that he will listen to you, marry Miss Lu's family obediently, and never bother that Zhou Yijia again. Tell him to come back, he is still so young, How could he endure that hardship? I beg you, my aunt, sir, you don't want your reputation to deteriorate, right? If you don't allow Mingxuan to return home, your reputation will also be bad. You haven't married yet, so It will also affect your marriage."
At this time, I still want to marry Miss Lu's family. Is it true that I can't marry Miss Lu's family?
But when he heard the last sentence, Liang Mingzhi lost his mind for a moment.
He is not yet married.
But she was already seeing each other.
"Master, I beg you, please let Mingxuan come back..." Aunt Ran was still crying.
"I just asked Mingxuan to go out to deal with some family matters. How could he be kicked out of the house? My aunt thought too much." Liang Mingzhi ordered Chen Ping, "Ask someone to send my aunt back to rest. When Mingxuan comes back, Remember to tell his aunt that his health is not good, and tell him to go and pay his respects to his aunt."
Chen Anxin said: Uncle really knows how to open his eyes and talk nonsense.The second master was so miserable that he actually said that he was only going out to deal with some family matters.
Before Chen Ping waved, Mama Wang and Yuzhu Yuxin had already helped Aunt Ran up.
Aunt Ran was in a daze, watching the carriage drift away, and asked the people around her in disbelief, "He really said to let Mingxuan come back?"
Mother Wang said: "Yes, the uncle said, when the second master comes back, I will ask the second master to pay you a visit."
Aunt Ran suddenly burst into tears.
Chen Ping frowned and motioned for Liang Fu to give it away.
Zhou Chengyan went to Guozijian, and Xiao Song received Liang Mingzhi.
"Why did you come here suddenly? Is there something wrong? Before going out today, the master said that there is nothing to do today. If you have something to do, I will ask someone to call him back." Xiao Song supported Liang Mingzhi with his body.
She and Zhou Chengyan talked about Yijia last night, and the husband and wife were helpless.
Yijia grew up pampered with gold and jade, and has never experienced any storms since childhood. If you want to talk about the biggest thing, it is the thing that was pushed into the water at the beginning of the year.But how could that matter make her afraid of getting married? No matter how dull Xiao Song is, she knows about women. It's not that Yijia didn't like Kang Qikun, she just didn't want to marry and was afraid of marrying.
The couple discussed for most of the night but failed to come up with a countermeasure. Zhou Chengyan was busy with other things, and secondly, he was his father.
Liang Mingzhi smiled politely: "It's nothing important. Brother Penghai told me a book last time. I remembered it today. Come and look for it."
Zhou Chengyan loves books, and there are many books in his home. He is reluctant to lend them to others, but for Liang Mingzhi, who saved his life, he is free to enter the study.
Xiao Song said: "I don't understand these things, you go and find them yourself. You haven't come here for a few days, so you will stay for dinner today, and have a good chat with the master then."
Liang Mingzhi responded, but he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he asked Xiao Song: "Did sister-in-law encounter any embarrassment? I see that you don't look quite right."
Xiao Song didn't want to say it.
But helplessly, she couldn't talk to Ran's, and she didn't have any friends in Beijing. Except Li's mother and Zhou Chengyan, there was no one to talk to.But yesterday, both Li's mother and Zhou Chengyan couldn't think of a way out. Thinking of her husband's appearance of being so anxious that he didn't sleep well all night, Xiao Song thought, anyway, Liang Mingzhi is close to his family after all, so he won't hide it from him. Tell me what happened yesterday.
Hearing Xiao Song's words, Liang Mingzhi was shocked, "You mean, Yijia doesn't want to marry?"
"That's right, it's not that she didn't like the kid from the Kang family, she didn't look at it at all." Xiao Song said with a sad face, "This kid has been growing up smoothly, and I don't know what's going on, why? I will be so conflicted about this matter. To tell you the truth, my master and I are going crazy, but we just don’t know what to do. Although she is only twelve this year, she should be engaged at this age, etc. Two years later, Jiji will be married at that time. If she keeps dragging on like this, I don't know what to do."
Liang Mingzhi was very shocked. She didn't want to marry, why didn't she want to marry?Didn't she look for herself and ask her to tell her father to make an appointment for her earlier?
Could it be that she knew that Aunt Ran intended to marry her for Mingxuan at the beginning, and that she wanted to get married earlier because she wanted to avoid Mingxuan?But now that she avoids it, she doesn't want to get married?
She is only 12 years old now, it's okay if she doesn't want to get married, even if she doesn't want to get engaged.
But what about 14 years old, 15 years old, 17 years old?
Can she stay unmarried all her life?
Just stay at home and be an old lady?
Zhou Chengyan can protect her now, but after a hundred years from Zhou Chengyan and the Xiao Song family, who else can protect her?She doesn't even have a younger brother, and when Zhou Yiwan gets married, she will be the only one left in the Zhou family.At that time, those people in the big house of the Zhou family will not eat her to the bone!
"Ziming, have you thought of a way?" Seeing Liang Mingzhi's silence, Xiao Song asked expectantly.
Liang Mingzhi shook his head, paused and said, "Have you and Brother Penghai asked her why she doesn't want to marry?"
Xiao Song shook her head, "My master only found out last night, and I haven't found the time yet, and I don't know how to tell her about it. After all, I am not her biological mother. I asked her, and she was afraid It's not the truth, and I don't want to force her."
The phrase "I'm afraid it's not the truth" made Liang Mingzhi slightly displeased.
But she also knew that she was wrong to think so, Xiao Song was very kind to Yijia.Having seen too many intrigues and calculations, like Xiao Song who raises the daughter left by his eldest sister as a treasure in his palm, he is already one of the best in a hundred.
But Xiao Song suddenly suggested: "Ziming, why don't you go and talk to Jiaer. You watched her grow up, and apart from her father, she relied on you since she was a child. You go and talk to her, maybe she will get along with her." What do you say?"
Li's mother was stunned when she heard it, even the master didn't know how to tell the second lady, why the wife would ask Uncle Liang for help.
Second Miss calls him Uncle again, but he is still an outsider after all.
How could an outsider know that his biological father didn't know how to speak?
She was just about to signal to Xiao Song that this was not good, but Liang Mingzhi had already stood up and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll go and see her."
(End of this chapter)
Fortunately, several people present had their own thoughts and did not pay attention to Yijia's strangeness.
Zhou Yiwan stared straight at the iced grapes and honey water on the stone table, drooling and called out "Sister."
Yijia felt a little better after being teased by her appearance, and brought her a bowl of honey water, saying: "Ice is added in this, so you can't drink too much, just take a couple of sips, you know?"
"Understood!" Zhou Yiwan responded loudly, took two mouthfuls of the bowl, and then obediently put down the bowl.
Yijia nodded her nose, and gave her some grapes from the white porcelain dish.
The little man just sat there and ate the grapes happily.
Only then did Yijia say to Kang Qikun: "Our sisters can just drink this bowl. The weather is so hot, so you should also drink a bowl to cool off the heat." Just because of Kang Qikun's busy work, Yijia is not good anymore because of the previous She ignored him, not to mention Mr. Kang's words, she couldn't just care about her own temper.
Kang Qikun was originally standing on the side, and both of them were over the age of being seated together, although his grandfather had spoken in front of Master Zhou, it was not easy for him to just sit across from the girl.
Wen Yan smiled, picked up the bowl and drank it all in one go.
Then he put the bowl back on the table and returned to the original place, pretending to be looking at the century-old tree.
Yijia thought it was funny, but because of this she developed a little affection for him, but she seldom communicated with men, and she didn't know what to say to Kang Qikun at this moment, so she lowered her head again and helped Yiwan peel the grapes.
Her fingers were slender and long, and the way she peeled the grapes was gentle and elegant. Kang Qikun glanced at her and hurriedly looked away.He has rarely seen such a girl. The ones around him are either concubine younger sisters who are scrambling for others, or those arrogant cousins from his aunt's natal family. There has never been a girl like her, who is quiet and gentle, and can treat her stepmother's younger sister well. So meticulously taken care of.
He could see that she didn't seem to have any feelings for him, but he thought she was very good, and she had such an outstanding appearance, but he had never even heard her name before. It is conceivable that she is a person who rarely goes out and does not love A girl who shows her face and earns fame.No wonder grandfather would personally tell Lord Zhou about this marriage, she is indeed very nice.
If there is such a wife, the house should be peaceful and the life should be comfortable.
"What do you like to do on weekdays?" He couldn't help but want to know more about her.
Normally, the elders would make an engagement if they saw it well, but it was rare for his grandfather to find an opportunity for him to meet Miss Zhou's family in advance.He should take this opportunity to understand her preferences, so that even if she doesn't like him yet, he can treat her according to her preferences after marriage, so she must be happy.
"Do needlework, and then stay with mother and sister." Yijia could see what Kang Qikun meant, but she really couldn't do it like a girl who was as shy as a deer, and she looked at Kang Qikun, I always feel like looking at a young man who is still young, how can I have strange thoughts.
Kang Qikun didn't realize what she meant at all, on the contrary, he felt that she was submissive and chaste, smiling and talking, but Yi Wan suddenly cried out that her stomach hurts.
Yijia breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly apologized to Kang Qikun, then picked up Yiwan and hurried to the west hall.
Kang Qikun opened his mouth, and felt amused. Could it be that he was so scary? He ran away in a hurry without saying a few words to him.
On the way back, Zhou Chengyan and Mr. Kang left first.Kang Qikun stayed behind and rode behind the Zhou family's carriage, escorting the Zhou family's female family members all the way.
Yijia leaned against the window, her eyes darkened, and an indescribable sense of exhaustion surged in her heart.
It would be great if she could not get married, if she could stay in her mother’s house all the time, and be with her father, aunt, and sister. To spend the rest of my life with a strange man.
She thought that she would definitely not be a qualified wife, even though she had a new life, she still didn't know anything.Kang Qikun wanted to be the eldest son, but how could she be the clan's wife? To be a clan's wife requires insight and ability, but in her previous life, she had at most learned some rules and simple housekeeping.In fact, it's not really housekeeping, she just manages the Hongyan Hall, and it's managed with Liang Mingzhi's help.
Thinking about it this way, Liang Ming's previous life was really pitiful. He was the eldest son of the dignified Marquis's mansion, and he would marry a wife who knew nothing like her.
What does he like about himself?
Is it because I met Aunt Ran by chance that I took the initiative to ask Aunt Ran to marry me?If Liang Mingzhi hadn't mentioned it after they got married, she would never have known that they had met.
"What's wrong, Jia'er?" Xiao Song called her, "Are you thinking about Kang Qikun?"
Yijia's voice was muffled, and she answered yes.
Xiao Song was immediately overjoyed. Looking at Yijia's appearance, she thought she had missed Kang Qikun, but she actually admitted that she was thinking about Kang Qikun.She couldn't help smiling all over her face, took Yijia's hand, and said softly: "Then Kang Qikun looks like a good child. When you marry in the future, even Mr. Kang will not allow him to treat you badly. Kang The eldest wife is kind and kind, I heard that although she respects the rules, as long as you do not make mistakes in general, she will not make things difficult for you, after all, you are the granddaughter-in-law that Mr. Kang likes."
Yijia really didn't want to pour cold water on Xiao Song, but when she thought of marrying Kang Qikun and facing his family, she felt a hollowness in her heart, which made her feel very uneasy.She also thought that she could marry someone well, she didn't need to have a deep relationship, as long as she could live a good life with respect as a guest.But seeing Kang Qikun today and hearing what Xiao Song said, she just felt that all of this seemed to be very close to her suddenly, so close that she would be married to the Kang family immediately if she nodded on one side. like.
When you go to a strange place, there are strangers everywhere, even the one closest to you is the same stranger.She feels scared.
"Mother, I don't want to marry into the Kang family." Yijia couldn't help but said.
"Why, do you not like Kang Qikun?" Xiao Song asked hurriedly.
"No, it's because I don't want to be a clan wife, and I don't want to be under such a great pressure." Yijia couldn't help but show fatigue and fear in her eyes, and there was a hint of willfulness in her voice, "There are many things I don't know, and I can do it too. Not a good wife, although you said that you can learn what you don’t know, and Mrs. Kang will teach you, but I just don’t want to, I don’t want to marry him, and I don’t want to learn those things.”
Seeing that she was not in the right state, Xiao Song's heart arose, and she handed Zhou Yiwan, who was snuggling beside her, to Mama Li, who was sitting next to her, embraced Yijia, and patted her on the back lightly.
"Don't worry, just tell me if you have something to say. If you really don't want to marry, your father and I won't force you." She said, "Just tell me that you don't want to marry him." , still don’t want to marry?”
Yijia froze for a moment, her body froze.
That's right, does she not want to marry Kang Qikun, or does she not want to marry someone?
Is it because I just feel that marrying into the Kang family will bring many things and it will be very difficult, and I am unwilling to learn to adapt, or because I don't want to marry, so I feel that no matter who or where I marry, it is not good?
It seems to be the latter.
It's not that she doesn't want to marry Kang Qikun, but that she doesn't want to marry at all.
Her mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
"I don't know, I don't want to get married anyway." She hugged Mrs. Song and murmured, "I want to stay at home, stay with my father and you, and Yiwan will be with you. It's just our family. Together."
"Okay, if you don't want to marry, let's not marry." Xiao Song didn't dare to force her anymore, and coaxed her softly: "Then you stay at home and stay with Yiwan, me and your father."
Yijia responded softly, and it took a while before she let go of Xiao Song.
At the door of the house, she only saluted Kang Qikun when she got off the car, and followed the maid into the house.Xiao Song thanked Kang Qikun outside, and said a few words to be careful on the way back, before sending him away.
"Ma'am, this is a good marriage." Seeing that there was no one else, Mother Li told Xiao Song about it.
"I also know that at such a young age, Kang Qikun advances and retreats appropriately, is polite, and what's more rare is that he has the name of Jie Yuan. With Mr. Kang and Mr. Kang, he will not be so bad in the future, just Yiwan has grown up, and she can't find such a good marriage. But Jiaer's... well, I'd better go back and talk to the master, and ask the master to persuade Jiaer to take a look." Xiao Song frowned slightly, quite a bit Look helpless.
After all, it's not my own, some things I dare not say too much, and I dare not push too hard.How could she not see that Yijia had something on her mind and didn't tell her the truth.But seeing her like that, she couldn't bear to ask too clearly.
Mother Li nodded her head and said, "Do you think we should call Bai Lu over to ask, and see if there is anything we don't know?"
"No need." Xiao Song shook her head, "Jia'er is a smart child, she will not do things she shouldn't do. In the past, I asked Bai Lu to give me news because she was worried that my sister-in-law would encourage her, but now I don't need it." Yes. Let's wait for her to tell herself, she is still young, even if she waits, she can wait."
Mother Li stopped talking, and the stepmother couldn't help it. Even the real aunt couldn't do many things.If the wife is the biological mother of the Second Miss, she will definitely ask why she disagrees with such a good marriage. The Second Miss has not seemed to be incompetent in the past few months. According to her, the Second Miss is better than the wife in terms of housekeeping. Much stronger.
In the evening, Mrs. Song went to Bishuiju to see Yijia in person. Seeing that she was in good condition, she felt relieved.With Yiwan, he simply had dinner at Bishuiju, sat and chatted for a long time before going back.
Yijia sent the person to the gate of Bishuiju, and went back when there were no more people in sight.
In fact, after she said those words in the afternoon, she felt very guilty in her heart.When she was reborn, she caused many troubles to her father and aunt. Today she rejected Kang Qikun, fearing that her father and Mr. Kang would not be able to explain it well.After all, Mr. Kang is his father's teacher, and he has always been very kind to his father. If his father rejects Mr. Kang because of her, he will definitely feel very sorry in his heart.She felt relieved, but her father was going to be in trouble.
Yijia was in a mess, and climbed onto the bed after washing up.
No one was allowed to stay on vigil, and they were all driven out, and they stayed up most of the night thinking about it, before they could barely stare over.
Anping Hou Mansion Hongyan Hall.
Not long after Liang Mingzhi lay down, Chen Ping knocked on the door, and said through the door: "Master, Xuezhu is here."
The room was quiet for a while before the man's deep voice came, "Tell her to go back and work hard."
Chen Ping's hand that was about to push the door paused, as if he couldn't believe it, the uncle didn't see Xuezhu?
It is said that Xuezhu is serving the grandpa's wet nurse, Nanny Tao, and the grandpa personally arranged for someone to serve beside the second miss of the Zhou family. How could it be that the second miss of the Zhou family has something to do, but he suddenly doesn't care about it?
Chen Ping wanted to ask again, but another voice came from the room: "You go down too."
"Yes." Chen Ping had no choice but to agree, and retreated with a puzzled expression.Following Xue Zhu, who was waiting for an answer in the yard, said: "Master wants you to go back and work hard by Miss Zhou's second."
Xuezhu blurted out in surprise and asked: "Will the uncle not listen to what I want to report?"
"Don't listen." Chen Ping looked back again, the room was pitch black, and there was no movement at all.
Xuezhu couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "It's really strange. When I went, my uncle said that I have to report back to every detail. Why don't you listen now?"
"Don't worry about it, you can go back first and do your job well." Chen Ping is not a person who likes to study deeply, since the uncle said he would not listen, then he should not listen.
Xue Zhu came out at night, although she was safe with her kung fu, she was worried about what might happen.So he didn't stay any longer, nodded towards Chen Ping, turned around and hid in the dark night.
"Hey, wait!" Chen An suddenly appeared from nowhere, and whispered towards the back of the room.
Xue Zhu didn't go far, but came out again after hearing the words, and asked Chen An, "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong with Miss Tuesday, please tell me." Chen An said.
Xue Zhu refused, "Master said that Miss Tuesday's affairs should be reported to him personally."
"Don't you want to hear it now, sir, but what if he wants to know again later? My elder brother and I both serve him personally. If you tell me, isn't it equivalent to telling the elder? Our brothers won't tell you The news spread." Chen An said: "Besides, it's not convenient for you to come out, if you want to know later, you have to come again, what a trouble."
Chen Ping scolded his younger brother in a low voice, "Don't bother with the uncle's affairs, Miss Xuezhu, you can go first, don't talk to him."
"Big brother—" Chen An said anxiously, "Why are you so brainless!"
Chen Ping ignored him, and still urged Xue Zhu to leave quickly.
Xuezhu was a little hesitant, and today's matter is not a secret, if the two families are really engaged, the uncle will receive the news soon, it's just a matter of time.
"It's like this. Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou took the second young lady to Dongshan Temple today, and met Mr. Kang's grandson in Dongshan Temple." She said.
Mr. Kang?
"Cabinet Chief Assistant Kang Zhengfang?" Chen Ping asked in surprise.
Xuezhu nodded.
Before Chen Ping came to his senses, Chen An had already asked: "You mean, Mr. Zhou intends to betroth Miss Tuesday to Mr. Kang's grandson?"
"Well, today is a meeting that the two families have discussed in advance, but I don't think the second lady is very interested." Xue Zhu said: "I'll go first, if the uncle asks, you can tell him for me. "
Chen An stood there for a while, then immediately turned around and strode towards the main room.
"Chen An, what are you doing?" Chen Ping hurriedly said from behind.
Chen An tilted his head slightly, but did not stop walking, "This matter is very important, you must tell the uncle immediately."
"The uncle just said that he won't listen, so stop!" Seeing Chen An walking to the door, Chen Ping became anxious, this younger brother always did this, he did everything according to his temper.Such a detached personality really made him, the big brother, worry all the time.
Chen An stopped at the door, looked back at Chen Ping, a smile of unknown meaning suddenly appeared on his face, and he said, "Brother, you don't understand this." He knocked on the door twice, The voice said calmly: "Master, this subordinate has something important to report."
Liang Mingzhi didn't fall asleep, and knew that Xue Zhu stayed in the yard for a while.Although he couldn't hear what they were talking about, Chen An knocked on the door at this moment, presumably there was really something wrong with Yijia.
He was still hesitating in his heart, but he had already ordered directly on his mouth: "Come in!"
It better be something really important!
"Master, Miss Xuezhu is here to report the good news to you. Today, the second Miss of the Zhou family and Mrs. Zhou went to Dongshan Temple, where they met Kang Qikun, the grandson of Kang Zhengfang, the chief assistant of the cabinet. It turned out that it was the Zhou family and Mrs. After discussing with the family, we need to talk about the relatives, and ask them to see each other in advance." The lights in the room were not lit, otherwise, if Chen An saw Liang Mingzhi's gloomy face, he might be too scared to speak, let alone such a relaxed tone .
Without pausing at all, Liang Mingzhi asked in a deep voice, "How is it?"
"How about what?" Chen An didn't understand.
"The result of looking at each other."
This time, Chen An also heard clearly the coldness in Liang Mingzhi's words.He shrank his neck involuntarily, and didn't dare to say more, and directly brought out what Xuezhu said, "Xuezhu said that Miss Tuesday doesn't look very interested, and she doesn't seem very satisfied."
Liang Mingzhi waved his hand, and thought that Chen An would not be able to see him, so he said, "I see, you can go down."
Chen An retreated lightly.
After closing the door, I couldn't help but slander in my heart.
It's so difficult to see why the uncle's expression changes, even today's big event can't be heard in his words, if he is not confident in the clues he has observed for a long time, Chen An would almost think that he is wrong.
The room was so quiet that Chen Ping couldn't help but put his heart in his stomach.
Seeing his younger brother coming out, he couldn't help but slapped him on the head, cursing in a low voice: "You're looking for trouble all day long, I see what you can do if you really offend the uncle someday!"
"You know a fart! One-sided guy!" Chen An was very upset, and dealt with the uncle tremblingly, but who knew that he was beaten by his brother when he came out.He dragged Chen Ping bitterly, dragged him back into the house, and said, "Come on, you are so stubborn, I'll teach you a lesson."
After entering the room, Chen Ping broke away and said displeasedly: "Look at you!"
Chen An didn't care at all, and sat down on the bed swaggeringly, and couldn't help laughing at Chen Ping's angry look.
Chen Ping stared at him angrily.
Only then did Chen An restrain himself, waved his hands, and lowered his voice to ask Chen Ping, "Brother, don't you think our uncle has a very unusual attitude towards Miss Tuesday?"
Chen Ping said casually: "It goes without saying, uncle and Mr. Zhou are..."
"Stop, stop!" As soon as he heard what his elder brother was going to say, Chen An interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said, "Don't tell me that he is the uncle of the second Miss Zhou, and he watched her grow up. She is an older elder, so naturally he cares about her and loves her a little more. This is also because the uncle is not married yet, if he is married and has his own daughter, it will not be like this."
"What else could it be?" Chen Ping doubted.
Chen An lowered his voice and said, "Let me tell you, it's not because of this at all. It's because our uncle fell in love with Miss Tuesday! He... ouch, why are you hitting me!" Before Chen An finished speaking, Chen Ping Just a big slap on his head.
"Can you control your mouth! You talk nonsense, even I can't keep you! Do you know what you are talking about? Can the uncle be such a person? If this is spread, how can you tell the uncle to behave? How do you tell him to get along with Mr. Zhou? How can you be so stupid that you can even say such a thing, how old is Miss Tuesday!" Chen Ping was so angry at this unrestrained younger brother that he was dizzy, only thinking that this would If it wasn't his own brother, he could have killed him with one blow.
Chen An felt wronged and said, "I'm just here to say it to you, how could I say it outside?"
Besides, the uncle must have such thoughts.
Although he doesn't have a woman himself, his ability to observe people is first-class, and every move of the uncle betrays what he thinks in his heart.
Chen Ping said angrily: "You have reason, don't say it, not only don't say it in front of me, you don't even think about it yourself!" Qicheng kicked it with force and shouted: "Go back to your room!"
Chen An narrowly dodged and walked out unwillingly.But in the blink of an eye, he turned around again, and said to Chen Ping, who was still angry inside: "Brother, if you don't believe yourself, you can observe more."
"Get out!" Chen Ping gnashed his teeth and scolded in a low voice.
On the second day, Liang Mingzhi hesitated again and again. After lunch, he still ordered to go down to prepare the carriage. He was going to Zhou's house.
Chen An winked and looked at Chen Ping, Chen Ping was annoyed and faintly felt something was wrong.
But before he left the mansion, he was stopped by the noisy crowd.
Aunt Ran, with disheveled hair, ran in front in a mess, followed by Mama Wang and her two big maids, and then a group of poor maids and servants.
Liang Mingzhi lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
Aunt Ran's knife tip was pressed against her neck, and her skin had already been cut faintly, bleeding from the knife tip.
Seeing Liang Mingzhi, Liang Fujia, the chief executive of the Liang Mansion, felt his legs go limp from fright, and stammered, "Master, Aunt Ran, she..."
Liang Mingzhi waved his hand to stop him from continuing.
Aunt Ran threatened her with death, even if she knew it was fake, Liang Fu couldn't stop her.
Liang Fu stopped talking, but he was anxious and angry. He looked at Aunt Ran who was holding a knife against him, and wished he could go up and help her.
Just die!
If he died, he would be reprimanded at most, but if such a big thing happened, wouldn't the uncle think that he was not good at doing things?
He is the son of the Liang family, and his grandfather was the housekeeper of Liang Laohou when he was alive.But when he arrived at his father's place, he only listened to the orders of the present Marquis of Anping, and later on he followed Aunt Ran's arrangement in everything.Or he felt it was wrong and forced his father to abdicate, and it happened that Liang Mingzhi did not object, so he became the chief housekeeper.
Of course he knew whom to listen to and whom to be.
But before he could show his loyalty, this incident happened.
Liang Mingzhi stopped Liang Fu's words, but did not speak to Aunt Ran.
Aunt Ran couldn't wait for an answer, so she said unwillingly: "Liang Mingzhi, I want to see Lord Hou!" Without the words of Lord Hou, her son would not be able to come back. Only Lord Hou can go this way.
As long as she gets the word of Lord Hou, she will go out to find her third brother, and when the time comes to file a complaint with the emperor, she does not believe that Concubine Liang can afford to lose this man!
Thinking of Concubine Liang and Aunt Ran, it is even more unbalanced. How much money she has given to Concubine Liang over the years, her dowry, the care given to her by Lord Hou, and the expenses she saved from the business, all of which were originally intended for Mingxuan Yes, she gave all of her filial piety to Concubine Liang.But what did Concubine Liang Gui do? When she was in trouble, she just watched helplessly, disregarding her friendship for so many years.
Since she doesn't care about it, don't blame her for dying.
Even if it is embarrassing, it is not her who is most embarrassing, anyway, she is just an aunt, and her son is just a child who is recorded as a legitimate son, but was killed by his elder brother.
"Father is not feeling well. If Auntie wants to see him, wait two more days until he recovers." Liang Mingzhi didn't care about Aunt Ran's petty tricks. If she really dared to threaten him with death, maybe he I really admire her a little bit.
"I am Lord Hou's aunt. Lord Hou is not feeling well. I should be by his side to take care of him. You stop me from seeing him. What is your intention?" Aunt Ran was so angry that her hands shook, but she had nothing to do with him. , had no choice but to press the knife tighter, trying to blackmail Liang Mingzhi.
"My aunt has been feeling unwell for the past two days. I don't want to bother my aunt so much, even my father is reluctant." Liang Mingzhi said lightly, "My aunt should go back to her room and rest. I have something to do, so I won't talk to my aunt."
"Liang Mingzhi!" Aunt Ran yelled sadly, with tears welling up in her eyes, she said, "You... If you leave now, I, I will die for you!"
Liang Mingzhi glanced at her, turned around and got into the carriage without saying a word.
"You forced your concubine to death, forced your younger brother away, and imprisoned your biological father. Liang Mingzhi, you are so bold and confident, do you think that no one can do anything to you?" Aunt Ran saw that Liang Mingzhi was about to leave , I was so anxious that I didn't even bother to show off with a knife, so I walked two steps quickly to stop the carriage.
"Isn't your aunt still dead?" The voices of the people in the carriage didn't fluctuate at all.
Aunt Ran's heart is so cold, this Liang Mingzhi who doesn't like oil and salt.
Threats are useless, coercion is useless, and finding someone is useless. What should her son do?After so many days outside, I don't know how much I have suffered, and I don't know if I'm okay.
In front of everyone, Aunt Ran fell to her knees with a plop, and cried, "I beg you, Mingxuan is your real brother after all, how could you... how could you drive him out of the Marquis Mansion What? Can you tell him to go back to the mansion? I promise, I guarantee that he will listen to you, marry Miss Lu's family obediently, and never bother that Zhou Yijia again. Tell him to come back, he is still so young, How could he endure that hardship? I beg you, my aunt, sir, you don't want your reputation to deteriorate, right? If you don't allow Mingxuan to return home, your reputation will also be bad. You haven't married yet, so It will also affect your marriage."
At this time, I still want to marry Miss Lu's family. Is it true that I can't marry Miss Lu's family?
But when he heard the last sentence, Liang Mingzhi lost his mind for a moment.
He is not yet married.
But she was already seeing each other.
"Master, I beg you, please let Mingxuan come back..." Aunt Ran was still crying.
"I just asked Mingxuan to go out to deal with some family matters. How could he be kicked out of the house? My aunt thought too much." Liang Mingzhi ordered Chen Ping, "Ask someone to send my aunt back to rest. When Mingxuan comes back, Remember to tell his aunt that his health is not good, and tell him to go and pay his respects to his aunt."
Chen Anxin said: Uncle really knows how to open his eyes and talk nonsense.The second master was so miserable that he actually said that he was only going out to deal with some family matters.
Before Chen Ping waved, Mama Wang and Yuzhu Yuxin had already helped Aunt Ran up.
Aunt Ran was in a daze, watching the carriage drift away, and asked the people around her in disbelief, "He really said to let Mingxuan come back?"
Mother Wang said: "Yes, the uncle said, when the second master comes back, I will ask the second master to pay you a visit."
Aunt Ran suddenly burst into tears.
Chen Ping frowned and motioned for Liang Fu to give it away.
Zhou Chengyan went to Guozijian, and Xiao Song received Liang Mingzhi.
"Why did you come here suddenly? Is there something wrong? Before going out today, the master said that there is nothing to do today. If you have something to do, I will ask someone to call him back." Xiao Song supported Liang Mingzhi with his body.
She and Zhou Chengyan talked about Yijia last night, and the husband and wife were helpless.
Yijia grew up pampered with gold and jade, and has never experienced any storms since childhood. If you want to talk about the biggest thing, it is the thing that was pushed into the water at the beginning of the year.But how could that matter make her afraid of getting married? No matter how dull Xiao Song is, she knows about women. It's not that Yijia didn't like Kang Qikun, she just didn't want to marry and was afraid of marrying.
The couple discussed for most of the night but failed to come up with a countermeasure. Zhou Chengyan was busy with other things, and secondly, he was his father.
Liang Mingzhi smiled politely: "It's nothing important. Brother Penghai told me a book last time. I remembered it today. Come and look for it."
Zhou Chengyan loves books, and there are many books in his home. He is reluctant to lend them to others, but for Liang Mingzhi, who saved his life, he is free to enter the study.
Xiao Song said: "I don't understand these things, you go and find them yourself. You haven't come here for a few days, so you will stay for dinner today, and have a good chat with the master then."
Liang Mingzhi responded, but he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he asked Xiao Song: "Did sister-in-law encounter any embarrassment? I see that you don't look quite right."
Xiao Song didn't want to say it.
But helplessly, she couldn't talk to Ran's, and she didn't have any friends in Beijing. Except Li's mother and Zhou Chengyan, there was no one to talk to.But yesterday, both Li's mother and Zhou Chengyan couldn't think of a way out. Thinking of her husband's appearance of being so anxious that he didn't sleep well all night, Xiao Song thought, anyway, Liang Mingzhi is close to his family after all, so he won't hide it from him. Tell me what happened yesterday.
Hearing Xiao Song's words, Liang Mingzhi was shocked, "You mean, Yijia doesn't want to marry?"
"That's right, it's not that she didn't like the kid from the Kang family, she didn't look at it at all." Xiao Song said with a sad face, "This kid has been growing up smoothly, and I don't know what's going on, why? I will be so conflicted about this matter. To tell you the truth, my master and I are going crazy, but we just don’t know what to do. Although she is only twelve this year, she should be engaged at this age, etc. Two years later, Jiji will be married at that time. If she keeps dragging on like this, I don't know what to do."
Liang Mingzhi was very shocked. She didn't want to marry, why didn't she want to marry?Didn't she look for herself and ask her to tell her father to make an appointment for her earlier?
Could it be that she knew that Aunt Ran intended to marry her for Mingxuan at the beginning, and that she wanted to get married earlier because she wanted to avoid Mingxuan?But now that she avoids it, she doesn't want to get married?
She is only 12 years old now, it's okay if she doesn't want to get married, even if she doesn't want to get engaged.
But what about 14 years old, 15 years old, 17 years old?
Can she stay unmarried all her life?
Just stay at home and be an old lady?
Zhou Chengyan can protect her now, but after a hundred years from Zhou Chengyan and the Xiao Song family, who else can protect her?She doesn't even have a younger brother, and when Zhou Yiwan gets married, she will be the only one left in the Zhou family.At that time, those people in the big house of the Zhou family will not eat her to the bone!
"Ziming, have you thought of a way?" Seeing Liang Mingzhi's silence, Xiao Song asked expectantly.
Liang Mingzhi shook his head, paused and said, "Have you and Brother Penghai asked her why she doesn't want to marry?"
Xiao Song shook her head, "My master only found out last night, and I haven't found the time yet, and I don't know how to tell her about it. After all, I am not her biological mother. I asked her, and she was afraid It's not the truth, and I don't want to force her."
The phrase "I'm afraid it's not the truth" made Liang Mingzhi slightly displeased.
But she also knew that she was wrong to think so, Xiao Song was very kind to Yijia.Having seen too many intrigues and calculations, like Xiao Song who raises the daughter left by his eldest sister as a treasure in his palm, he is already one of the best in a hundred.
But Xiao Song suddenly suggested: "Ziming, why don't you go and talk to Jiaer. You watched her grow up, and apart from her father, she relied on you since she was a child. You go and talk to her, maybe she will get along with her." What do you say?"
Li's mother was stunned when she heard it, even the master didn't know how to tell the second lady, why the wife would ask Uncle Liang for help.
Second Miss calls him Uncle again, but he is still an outsider after all.
How could an outsider know that his biological father didn't know how to speak?
She was just about to signal to Xiao Song that this was not good, but Liang Mingzhi had already stood up and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll go and see her."
