Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 190
A month passed in a flash, and on the birthday of Mrs. Qi, the weather was not good, and it was raining lightly.However, the three gates of Duke Qi's mansion were wide open, and there was an endless stream of visitors, without being affected by the drizzle at all.

Yingchu brought Hua Yu, Hua Qinghe to Qi's house early in the morning, and the servants took them directly to Rongxi hall under the order of the old matriarch.

In the main room, the old lady was wearing a red Sichuan embroidered crane and deer jacket with spring double-breasted gown, under which was a horse-faced skirt with purple borders on a crimson red background, with blessings and longevity and pearls. The bright pearl of the East China Sea looks beaming and energetic.

Qi Anru sat next to the old lady on the kang, and the two granddaughters of the second room, Qi Anlin and Qi Anyao, sat on the chairs beside the kang, one on the left and one on the right, and below sat a few young ladies, some of whom had their hair tied up. Already married as wives, some are in their cardamom years, and two are young children.

The Qi family is not prosperous, and the clan members are scattered all over the place, but the total number of generations can hardly exceed double digits. Compared with other families that often have hundreds or thousands of clan members, it is really very small.

There are a total of eleven ladies sitting here, which should be all the grandchildren. Although there are not many, the old lady is obviously very happy to see these granddaughters. Before entering the door, she heard the old lady’s laughter. stopped.

Seeing Yingchu and the others coming, the old matriarch's smile deepened, but she blamed: "It's raining outside, what are you doing here so early, you don't know how to wait until the rain stops."

Qinghe and Hua Yu saluted the old lady to celebrate her birthday, then Qinghe said with a smile: "We have been looking forward to this day for a long time, and we were so excited that we hardly slept last night. If it wasn't for the fear of disturbing the old lady, I wish I could come here before dawn."

The old matriarch smiled heartily and said: "Okay, okay, you children are all interested."

After saying a few words, Qinghe and Hua Yu saluted again, then retreated, and they were invited to rest at the male guest's place.

The old lady beckoned to Yingchu: "Come, sit beside me."

Yingchu took a few steps forward, held the old matriarch's hand, and sat down beside her.

The ladies below all stared at Yingchu, the two ladies of the second room were sitting below, the old matriarch actually let her sit next to him, could this be the future young lady?
Sure enough, the old matriarch introduced to them: "This is Yingchu, the empress dowager bestowed the title of Miaoyi Junjun, and she is Changjin's fiancée."

All the ladies stood up and saluted, Yingchu also got up to return the salute.

Qi Anru pursed her lips, but she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the old matriarch, and she didn't dare to say rebuttal words.

Everyone chatted and laughed lively for a while, the servant girl came to report, and Mrs. Xun came.

The old lady smiled and said: "You are also bored to accompany me, an old lady, so go play in the garden."

"It's our honor to be able to talk with the old lady. It's too late to be happy. How can it be boring." An older lady said.

Everyone spoke in agreement.

The old matriarch smiled and sent them to play again. Everyone knew that the two old matriarchs had something to talk about, so they all withdrew.

Walking out of Rongxi Hall, everyone's veiled scrutiny at Yingchu became much bolder.

A twelve or thirteen-year-old lady approached with an affectionate look, and said innocently: "Junjun, I heard that you are only a concubine from the county marquis's mansion, and it is amazing that you can be favored by your elder brother! If I can learn a little bit from you, maybe I can marry the prince and grandson."

The eyes of the other young ladies lit up, even those who were already married couldn't help but stare at Yingchu, wanting to learn some tricks so they could grasp her husband's heart.

"Hehe..." There was a mocking laugh, and the second daughter of the second room, Qi Anyao, the second daughter of Duke Qi's mansion, covered her mouth and laughed, as if she had heard a big joke.

"Sister Yao, what are you laughing at?" the lady asked.

"I laugh at you for being so naive. Just based on her appearance and background, how could she be favored by elder brother?" Qi Anyao said contemptuously, "She just knew how to distort yellow and cured her grandmother's heart disease. Just take this kindness Threat big brother, force big brother to marry her!"

"Ah!" The lady let out a low cry in shock.The faces of the others also became colorful. They don't live in the capital, so they don't know much about these things. The admiration in Yingchu's eyes suddenly turned into contempt.

Qi Anyao glanced at Yingchu, and said maliciously: "Not only did she cheat the eldest brother's marriage contract, but she also made a fool of Prince Chen, and made a big fuss for her, causing a storm in the city. I don't know what kind of coquettish tricks she played, maybe it was for her. Prince Chen took a drug for the mind."

The ladies' expressions became even more exciting.

"Sister," the eldest lady Qi Anlin tugged at her sleeve and said disapprovingly, "Stop talking."

"What are you doing!" Qi Anyao shook off her hand impatiently, "Aren't I right? This is something that everyone in the capital knows!"

Qi Anlin's lips moved, she lowered her head and did not speak.

"Try talking nonsense again!" Qi Anru held back for a while, but still couldn't hold back and jumped out.

Hua Yingchu was humiliated, she should be happy, but on the contrary she felt very angry, she thought it was because of her brother, Hua Yingchu is still bearing the name of her brother's fiancee, being humiliated by others also shamed her brother, So it's only natural for her to be angry!
"Where am I talking nonsense!" Qi Anyao looked at her inexplicably, "Why are you angry, don't you hate Hua Yingchu the most, don't you want her to get away?"

"It's my business that I hate it, but you are not allowed to insult her!" Qi Anru said angrily, "Take back those words, and if you dare to say a word in the future, I will never forgive you!"

Qi Anyao was also angry. In front of so many sisters of the same clan, Qi Anru dared to talk to her like this: "Qi Anru, I am your sister. How can you speak so modestly? I won't take back those words. You treat me like that. how?"

"I'm a prostitute, how dare you not listen to me?" Qi Anru shouted.

The two of them quarreled like this, one was talking about the elders, the other was talking about the future, and they refused to give in to each other.

Yingchu frowned, the two were naive, and one was more tempered than the other, "Okay, stop arguing! Today is the old lady's birthday, you quarreling like this makes outsiders see the joke."

Qi Anyao snorted coldly, and said with disdain: "What are you, you have no place to speak here!"

She glared at Qi Anru again: "I'm too lazy to be as knowledgeable as you!" After speaking, she shook the lantern sleeves and walked away.

Qi Anru stared at her back for a while, then glared at Yingchu: "Aren't you usually good at talking? Being humiliated by her like this, why don't you say a word?"

Most of the rumors outside were like this, and she couldn't hear or argue with others once.Yingchu curled up her lips, with a smile in her eyes: "Didn't you say it for me?"

"I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for my brother!" She left angrily.

The ladies looked here and there, some followed Qi Anyao, while others followed Qi Anru.

Yingchu was the only one left, but she felt pure. She was deciding not to go to the crowded garden, but to take a walk elsewhere. When she turned around, she saw a man in brocade clothes coming out of the corner, looking at her with a half-smile.
