Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 65 I Want You to Marry Me (2)
The old lady became even angrier when she heard this: "Come here, drive this fool away."

In a hurry, Lin took out Wanqing's handkerchief and said: "Old Madam, I have evidence. You see, this handkerchief was given to the son by the third girl. You can find out if it is true by asking the man. Well, the Gu family didn't want to retire, they just wanted to marry another daughter, since the eldest son and the third girl are in love, it's better to fulfill them, the two families are still in-laws."

"Mother, do you want to ruin your daughter?" Wanqing couldn't bear it anymore, rushed forward to stop the mad-looking Lin, knelt down in front of her and said, "I am innocent and innocent, and I have never had any selfish relationship." , for the happiness of the fourth younger sister, you want me to marry you instead. Marriage matters have always been arranged by the parents, so I have nothing to say, but you can't ruin your daughter's reputation because of this, let alone slander the reputation of your son."

The person who was walking slowly in the other side turned his head after hearing this, and glanced lightly at his eyes, which were as dark as a deep lake, and there seemed to be stars shining through them.

Lin wanted to chase after her, but Wanqing hugged her leg tightly. She was so angry that she raised her hand and threw it at Wanqing. There was a crisp sound of "pa", and the pain Wanqing expected did not appear, but it was Hearing Lin's scream, she saw Shangguan Yeli standing in front of her like a ghost, looking at her with lowered eyes and frowning.

Wanqing pouted, feeling extremely wronged in her heart, her nose was sore, tears welled up in her eyes, Shangguan Yeli's eyes shrank suddenly, the flames in them became more intense, and she pulled the bowl of soup in the maid's hand Covering her head and face, Lin's head was covered, and Lin's face was immediately doused with black concoction, which flowed down her hair, and her eyes could not be opened. She was dressed in light purple embroidered plum blossoms. The house was even darker and dirty, looking embarrassed and funny.

The old matriarch opened her mouth wide and was so startled that she didn't speak for a long while. Wanli was completely stunned. She no longer had the previous arrogance and arrogance. When she met Lin Shi, Lin Shi screamed in fright.

At this moment, the Elder finally followed a middle-aged man in a black official uniform. Wanqing let out a sigh of relief. When the Elder saw Lin's appearance, his face turned green and then pale, and he was so ashamed. Annoyed and resentful in his heart, he shouted: "Things that are shameless, why don't you take people back to the house quickly, don't you feel ashamed enough?" After saying that, he bowed to the old lady to accompany the crime.

The old matriarch turned her body to the side, refusing to accept the gift from the elder, and the elder's expression became more and more embarrassing and ugly.

Wanqing hurriedly went forward to help Lin Shi leave, but she heard Shangguan Yeli say: "Wait a minute."

Wanqing had no choice but to stop and stand aside.

Shangguan Yeli said deeply to the middle-aged man and the old lady who came in: "The ancestor, father, child and Miss Gu are innocent, and have never had an affair. Mrs. Gu has insulted me so much today... "In the middle of speaking, there was another violent cough. Hearing people scratching their hearts and lungs, it was so uncomfortable that the old matriarch's eyes were red, and he stepped forward to help him. He waved his hands and stopped coughing: "Sun Although my son is in poor health, his innocence cannot be tarnished..."

Elder Gu's scalp became numb the more he heard it, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to him again: "My lord, it's the lower officials who are incapable of discipline and have offended my lord."

"I'm fine, I'm a man, and I can bear it. Poor Miss Gu, as a concubine, was framed by her aunt in such a way that her reputation was ruined... Now Mrs. Gu is getting angry because of it. I'm afraid that Miss San will be troubled by me, so go back Afterwards, he will be murdered again, and my grandson can't bear it..." Shangguan Yeli interrupted the elder, looking at Wanqing with pity.

The old matriarch sighed and said: "Miss Gu San is quite polite, Mr. Gu, please don't..."

"Old Ancestor, Father!" Shangguan Yeli didn't wait for the old matriarch to finish speaking, and fell down with a plop. The old matriarch felt more and more distressed, and hurriedly asked someone to help him: "You child, get up quickly and talk. "

Shangguan Yeli stubbornly refused to get up, and his thin body knelt straight as loose as a pine: "Old ancestor, this time, Miss Gu's reputation has been damaged because of my grandson's dilapidated body, and my grandson is going to resign from Miss Gu's marriage." , three matchmakers and six hires to marry Ms. Gu San, the grandson knows that his fate will not be long, and he has nothing else to ask for in this life, but this one wish, please make my ancestors and father come true." After saying that, he accepted his head and bowed.

Jingning Hou also probably knew the whole thing at this time, after hearing this, he couldn't help stepping forward, supported Shangguan Yeli, and said in a trembling voice: "Li'er, as long as you feel good, whatever you say is a father. I agree, but Miss Gu San is just a concubine, how about finding another noble daughter for your father?"

"Father..." Shangguan Yeli coughed again, until he couldn't breathe.

The old matriarch's heart was about to break, and she said to Jingning Hou with tears in her eyes: "So what about the concubine? In my opinion, the Gu family is only the third lady who looks like a serious daughter's family. The so-called prostitute, hmph, taste Even if you give Li'er to me as a concubine, I don't think much of her, so please accept Li'er, Lord Hou, and renegotiate the marriage while Mr. Gu is here."

Mr. Gu was both happy and ashamed. The happy thing is that he did not fall out with the Jingning Hou Mansion after all, and he will still be able to get married in the future. What is shameful is that the mother and daughter of the Lin family have disgraced the Gu family in the Hou Mansion. The remaining prostitute daughter was disliked even for being a concubine, so he gave Mrs. Lin a sideways look, and hurriedly paid respects to the old matriarch and Marquis Jingning. I won't say anything about this Marquis, but you know what Li'er's identity is in your heart. Benhou's daughter-in-law's status should not be too low, let alone be bullied. The new accounts will be settled together, and when the time comes, you will keep your precious daughter at home and support her for the rest of her life." After finishing speaking, she bowed to the old matriarch, turned and left without looking at Elder Gu.

Master Gu laughed dryly twice, and also saluted and bid farewell to the old matriarch, but the old matriarch took Wanqing's hand and looked at her carefully. When he saw a bloodstain on her neck that was pierced like a sharp weapon, his eyes darkened, and he softened. Said: "Good boy, don't do stupid things anymore."

The old lady's hands were slightly rough, but warm and dry. Wanqing was in a daze for a while, as if seeing her loving grandmother from the previous life again, her voice was a little dry, her eyes widened, and she tried hard not to let tears fall: "Well, thank you Grandma, Qing'er will never be there again, grandma, take care."

The old matriarch was originally titled by imperial order, and the grandchildren in the house all called her the old ancestor. It seemed that it was the first time they heard her being called grandma. This kind of address that only comes from a small family is very kind and natural. The Taijun's eyes became more and more gentle, he caressed Wanli's red and swollen left cheek, and said with a slight sigh: "Poor thing, I hope you can go back and get married, if someone bullies you in the future, just come and tell grandma."
