…… Coming to the main hall, Master Qi and the eldest lady were already sitting upright, and there were other ladies and sons in the mansion standing on both sides, including Qingyi's gang, almost except for Qi Lianchen, the eldest prince Qi Lianxuan, and the second young lady with a big belly, all the masters of the mansion gathered together.

Qingyi reviewed the position and stood up, the fourth lady wanted to stand with her, but Master Qi had already opened his mouth, "Yingxia, come here." ”

The fourth young lady glanced at Qingyi timidly, the latter nodded, and she moved to the middle of the main hall, "Daddy......"

Master Qi lowered his eyes, and turned a string of Buddha beads with light in his hand, probably it was difficult to make a decision on this matter, but he still chose to open his mouth, "Yingxia, I guess you also know, yesterday Lord He sent Xi Po to ask for a kiss." ”

As soon as the fourth lady heard this, she knelt on the ground, "Dad, my daughter won't marry!" Then Lord He is a few years older than your father, make him a concubine, and his daughter is better than dead! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the eldest lady over there suddenly snorted coldly and said to the door, "Bring Ah Liang in!" ”

Aliang?

Qingyi didn't know who Ah Liang was, but when she saw the white face of the fourth lady, she guessed that this Ah Liang was her "adulterer", and she let the eldest lady catch her so quickly, who was the bottom? The young lady?

A small stable with red lips and white teeth and a very delicate appearance was brought in, and when Ah Liang saw so many people, and the fourth lady was kneeling in the middle of the hall, he didn't know what was going on, so he knelt beside the fourth lady, and the words he said were extremely chilling.

"Master, Mrs. Mingjian, the slave didn't mean it, it was the fourth lady who lured the slave......"

The eldest lady interrupted him, "I didn't ask you here, do you have a part in speaking?" Palm! - Yingxia, you also heard it, don't say anything that life and death are not as good as life, you are no longer a holy body, a broken flower and a willow, and it is not necessary to be a concubine for others! ”

Seeing that the fourth lady was already drunk like a stick, and her dementia look, Qingyi felt sour in her heart, she didn't want to make a big fuss, but the matter was still big, when the eldest lady said such ruthless words, did she ever think about how this matter would end? Do you really want to send a young lady who has an affair with the house to the mansion of the third official?

At this time, in addition to the suppressed breathing of everyone in the hall, it was the sound of the little guy named Ah Liang clapping his mouth, and his voice was particularly clear and tragic when he listened.

"Enough!" Master Qi listened upset, stopped Ah Liang's movements, in major matters, he is wise and decisive, but for the trivial matters in this house, he often turns a blind eye, in order not to deprive the eldest lady of the right of the main mother, "Madam, you have full authority to decide this matter." ”

In the current situation, it is impossible for Ah Liang to elope with Miss Four.

The eldest lady asked her to drag Na Ah Liang to the firewood room and wait for the delivery, as for the fourth lady......

"Yingxia, this Lord He came to ask for a kiss, has been known to the whole city, now even if you are not perfect, you have to get on this sedan chair, as for the wedding night, then it depends on your own ability, how to round that lie for yourself, if you are not round, Lord He found us to pray for the house, then we can only say, I don't know, then you have been born as a person from Hefu, died as a ghost of Hefu, how to deal with you, we pray that the house will no longer ask!"

The implication is that the fourth lady was clearly pushed to death.

Master Qi also felt that the eldest lady was too impersonal to say this, but it was obvious that the husband and wife had been used to the eldest lady's style of doing things for so many years, so his face didn't seem to disapprove much, but he added in a deep tone, "Yingxia, what your aunt said is exaggerating, even if it is true that you do ** things regardless of your name, but after all, it is my daughter, rest assured, my father will take care of everything to ensure that you marry in the past and be safe." ”

Where does the fourth lady still have any rebuttal to say that she has sat paralyzed on the ground, her adultery has been exposed, her sweetheart has betrayed her again, and now she has no choice but to marry and live a dark life!

It seems that the matter can only be solved in this way, and the Qi Mansion will not offend high-ranking officials for the sake of a young lady. As for the situation of this young lady in the past, it seems that no one really cares.

Master Qi was also a little unbearable, so he waved his hand, "Come on, help the fourth lady down." ”

……

Because of this incident, Qingyi was disappointed in the old man and chilled with the eldest lady.

She originally thought that Master Qi was an enlightened person, but now it seems that his enlightenment is only when it is profitable for him to be punished; As for the eldest lady, she is even more full of herself and only for herself, without any tolerance and atmosphere of the housewife.

For the fourth young lady, Qingyi sympathized, but she also knew that she was to blame, and she had the heart to help her, but people were not as good as heaven, and she also underestimated the bad things of the young lady.

All night, she was depressed, and she was not interested in drawing, just casually flipping through a few small books to pass the time, and was feeling sleepy and ready to go to bed, when she suddenly heard that there seemed to be some commotion outside, and she was busy sending Liu Er to investigate, and after a while, Liu Er came back panting and said, "It's Miss Four, Miss Four absconded and was arrested!"

"Absconding?"

The two eloped and failed, so they absconded alone, and this fourth lady did things quite casually.

Qingyi wanted to put on her coat and go out, but after thinking about it again, she put down her coat again, "Then what's the situation with Miss Fourth now?" ”

Liu Er replied, "I heard that he was put under house arrest, waiting for the auspicious day to come, and was forced to send him to Hefu." ”

"Well...... Liu'er, do you know what day you were married?"

Liu Er raised three fingers, "Three days later." ”

……

The three are not long.

However, if a person does not eat or drink for three days, then after three days, the person will not be able to watch.

Today, Miss Four is such a person.

Three days later, she lost weight for a day, her face was sallow, her eyes were dull, she was a good person like a flower and jade, and now she is coated with a few layers of powder, and she is also an ugly girl.

Qingyi is really a little admired, although the children in this prayer mansion have different temperaments, but in their bones, they seem to have a stubbornness that is rarely exposed, probably, this is from their common father.

However, stubbornness will not solve the problem.

At this time, the flower wedding of He Mansion was already waiting at the door of the Qi Mansion, just waiting for the fourth lady to dress and powder, and send it up.

But the grandmother in the house has already applied two layers of fat powder to the fourth lady, but she still can't hide her haggardness. At this time, several sisters and sisters-in-law who were close to her in the room were there, which was regarded as a send-off.

The young lady could still look like she had nothing to do, and chose earrings for the fourth lady with a smile, "These are all sent from Lord He's house, I heard that they are all new tricks in the palace, sister-in-law will help you choose a suitable one." ”

Qingyi took a look at the box lightly, and many of the so-called new tricks in the palace were produced by "Chen Liufu".

She didn't say anything, just looked at the side of Miss Four's face with some concern.

The fourth lady was like an empty shell without a soul, looking at the bronze mirror with dull eyes, suddenly, she sneered, and said the first sentence in the past three days, "Sister-in-law, my sister has always forgotten to ask you, how did my aunt know about Ah Liang and her sister that day?" ”

The young lady's hand paused, and Fang said angrily, "Fourth sister, is this suspicious of sister-in-law?" Oh, this is really wronged, don't you know that it was Ah Liang himself who heard that someone was hired, and he was frightened by his thoughts, so he took the initiative to surrender and recruit? ”

When the fourth lady heard this, her face was expressionless, but her eyes were red, "Really." - That's it, it's pointless to pursue it now, anyway, I don't have the ability to see people, everything is my own fault, sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law, the auspicious time is coming, and my sister wants to be alone and quiet. ”

When everyone heard her say this, they had no choice but to withdraw one after another, leaving only an old lady to watch.

Besides, when Qingyi left, she saw that the fourth lady was holding the hairpin and sticking it into her head, she looked at the strange action in her heart, but she couldn't say what was strange, when she walked to the door, when she looked back, she saw that the fourth lady was holding the hairpin and slashing it into her face.

"Don't!"

Qingyi exclaimed in surprise and was about to rush over, but where was the time? I saw that Qi Yingxia's right face was cut out of an inch-long opening, and blood flowed out.

The old lady was already stunned, and the people who had gone out also rushed back and snatched the hairpin in the hands of the fourth lady.

It's late!

This countenance is ruined!

"Hahaha......"

The fourth lady seemed to be crazy, looking up to the sky and laughing, laughing and crying, "Now, see who dares to force me to marry that dead fat man!" ”

Qingyi shook her head weakly, why did she bother?

The sedan chair outside the door is still waiting, and the people playing the music are still knocking and beating, but now that the bride has broken her appearance in her mother's house, Qi Mansion can no longer escape responsibility.

At this time, the fifth lady, who had been watching the obscurity, suddenly stepped forward and held the hand of the fourth miss who was still laughing wildly.

The fourth lady gradually suppressed her laughter, and looked at her sister who didn't talk much with tears, "Falling smoke? ”

The fifth lady smiled, beautiful and moving, "Sister must disturb herself again, since my sister would rather be disfigured than marry He Fu, then, my sister will marry instead of my sister!" ”

"Fifth sister!"

Hearing this call, the fifth lady slowly turned her head and glanced at the person who called her, "Third sister-in-law, don't you think this is the best arrangement?" ”

Yes, the best indeed!

She married the fourth lady, and when He Fu saw that Qi Mansion sent a more standard young lady, she would never blame Qi Mansion for breaking the contract; The fourth lady doesn't have to toss herself to the death; The most important ...... is that the four people will no longer have any worries, and they can wander the world with her sweetheart who has been separated for more than ten years.

However, what about the fifth lady?

Qingyi couldn't bear it, it was very unbearable.

She even rushed over and grabbed Miss Five's wrist, "Fifth sister, don't be impulsive, let Dad negotiate with He Fu first!" Maybe you and the fourth sister don't have to get married?

The fifth lady smiled and pushed away Qingyi's hand, "The third sister-in-law is such a smart person, why is she so confused today?" Also, if you care, you will be chaotic, third sister-in-law, listen, the welcoming team outside is still there, He Fu can't afford to lose this face, even if he carries a corpse, he has to carry back a daughter of the Qi family. - Third sister-in-law, this is what I am willing, just let me go. ”

Qingyi's eyes were red, her heart was sour, the pain choked her heart, she couldn't spit it out, she couldn't swallow, and there were tears rolling in her eyes, but she was enduring it, holding on......

The fourth lady had already stopped crying, and despite her bleeding cheeks, she stood up and hugged her sister tightly.

The fifth lady smiled indifferently, she pushed everyone away, "I can't delay the auspicious time, dress me up and change my clothes, after I finish dressing, I will go to say goodbye to my father and mother."

Qingyi couldn't hold back any longer, ran out of the room, and quietly came to a corner of the courtyard, silently crying.

There was a shallow footstep behind her, she thought it was Liu Er, so she didn't look back, just continued to cry: Miss Fifth is a good person, a smart person, and the most beautiful lady in the house, she shouldn't end up like this! If Master Qi knew about this, he would definitely agree with a hundred people!

The more Qingyi thought about it, the more sad she became, and she couldn't stop sobbing.

There was a warm hand on her shoulder, she subconsciously turned back, but through her teary eyes, she saw a vague figure, it was a man, blinked away the tears in her eyes, and then instantly saw that this person was Guo Lianchen.

Obviously, Qi Lianchen was startled by the tearful appearance on her face, he raised his hand and wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye, but soon, a few more drops flowed down, she cried fiercely, but she couldn't hold back any sound.

Qingyi's appearance was already delicate, and now this silent crying appearance is more and more distressing to watch

Qi Lianchen moved his Adam's apple before he made a voice, "You ......"

Qingyi wanted to squeeze out a smile, but the corners of her mouth rose stiffly, and tears flowed into the corners of her mouth, and the slightest saltiness aroused the sadness in her heart, and the smile could no longer be squeezed out, and seeing the person in front of her was like seeing a relative, and before she was conscious, she had put her forehead against his chest.

Her hand did not touch his body; Her body was also inches away from him. Just her forehead against his heart, let her tears, drenching his clothes bit by bit.

The coolness that slowly penetrated into his chest made Qi Lianchen not speak again, but slowly stretched out a hand expressionlessly, gently breaking her shoulder, patting it again and again, and there was no other way to transgress.

The two of them silently maintained this posture for a long time, probably until the fifth lady finished dressing up, covered her red hijab, and went out of the room.

It was as if there was no one else around, they were just immersed in their own thoughts or pain.

As everyone knows, at the door of the east wing not far away, there were two women standing, who had been staring at them for some time, one wringing his handkerchief deadly, and the other biting his lower lip fiercely.

Finally, the sly handkerchief laughed softly, "I really can't imagine that the third brother and the third brother and sister have a deep relationship with each other, Zhu'er, you said, if the third brother and sister are happy, the day when you marry into our Qi family will probably have to wait." ”

The woman biting her lower lip, that is, Zhu'er, finally stopped masochism, "After the last trip, the eldest lady once told the slave maid that the third young grandmother is a lucky star and will add a grandson to the third son, but she will not wait endlessly, she has promised the slave maid that if the third young lady has not moved in her stomach after five months, she will let the third young lady marry the slave and maid into the door." - The eldest lady naturally has no obstacles, but the third young master, I can't tell what he thinks, several times the eldest lady asked to let the slave maid enter the door, he didn't allow it, and hoped that the second young lady would help the slave and maid say a few kind words in front of the third son, after all, you are the affection of growing up together, and you are different from others.
