"Yes, I will retire."
Mrs. Qin waved the maid away and told Nanny Fang: "Go and check the fourth lady's injuries first."
Lian Xiaoxiao trembled even more and knelt down with a plop.
"Mother, please make the decision for your daughter!"
Lian Xiao poured beans into the bamboo tube and told what happened during this period.
"Some days ago, my daughter was walking in the garden and met her eldest brother. He said he would take me out to play and buy me jewelry. I didn't agree. Later, my eldest brother would bring me gadgets every time he went out. Until that day, he said You want to take me to the teahouse..."
"Mom knows that I rarely go out. My eldest brother said that the Chinese New Year is approaching and how lively it is outside. My daughter was yearning for it, so she went with her. It was there that she met Mr. Qi."
Lian Xiao's cheeks turned red, which turned into anger.
"When Mr. Qi showed kindness to me at first, I refused. Later, my eldest brother tried to create opportunities for us to meet. In teahouses, on the streets, in temples, no matter where my daughter went, she could meet Mr. Qi by chance. Later Mr. Qi said that she would Marry your daughter..."
"The daughter didn't dare to make the decision, so she asked him to come to propose marriage. If the mother agreed, the daughter would have no objection."
"Who would have known that the other party wanted to cook the rice first, but my daughter disagreed! Last night, the eldest brother..."
Lian Xiao hid her face and cried, "Last night, my eldest brother tricked me out, and I was... given to Mr. Qi..."
"I knew I was wrong, and I should have died to apologize, but I was afraid of injuring my father and mother, so I forced myself to come back and explain it to my mother, so as not to be slandered by that scandalous person!"
"Now that everything that needs to be said has been said, my daughter has no other regrets. I just hope that my mother will not blame my aunt!"
Lian Xiaoxiao kowtowed solemnly, then suddenly stood up and hit the pillar.
Lian Suisui, who had been on guard against her, pulled her back, but she was determined to seek death. Lian Suisui almost missed her, and Grandma Fang hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Third sister, please let me go. I have brought shame on the Lian family. If I die, the sisters in the family can still keep their reputation. If I live, I will be a shame to the family. Just let me die!"
Lian Xiaoxiao had never been so crazy. Lian Suisui slapped her twice on the face.
"Are you awake?"
Lian Xiaoxiao bit her lip and tears fell silently.
"Then what should I do? I can't really marry that kind of person and bring shame to the family!"
This matter sounds strange. Lian Suisui remembered the time when Lian Jialiang promoted her classmates to her. Could it be that he was also Mr. Qi?
What is the background of Mr. Qi? Dare you rape the daughter of the Minister's Mansion?
The Lian family is not ranked high in the capital, but it is not something a student from Yueshan Academy would dare to bully!
She raised her head to look at Mrs. Qin. Mrs. Qin glanced at Lian Xiaoxiao with a complex expression and said, "Mother Fang, you go down to rest on behalf of the Fourth Miss and take good care of the Fourth Miss."
Judging from her mother's tone, do you know this?
Lian Suisui refrained from asking in front of others. After Aunt Fang took Lian Xiao down, she asked, "Mom, do you know something?"
If her mother knew Lian Jialiang's behavior but didn't stop it, then her mother would have nothing to do with it.
"I didn't do this well." Ms. Qin admitted generously, "But it's not what you think. I can raise Xiaoxiao to such a big age, so naturally I won't harm her. I don't even bother to deal with a Little girl.”
Mrs. Qin felt hurt and her heart was clogged.
"Your eldest brother got into gambling in the academy. Not only did he lose all his monthly money, he also carried at least tens of thousands of taels of gambling debt."
"He didn't dare to let his family know, so he plotted against his classmate Qi Wenlin and asked Qi Wenlin to steal the deed of the family's sacrificial field and mortgage it to the gambling house."
Is there such a thing?
Lian Suisui was surprised.
"I only want to pay attention to the subsequent development of this matter. The Qi family has a certain amount of wealth. The Qi family first raised money to redeem the land deed, and then expelled Qi Wenlin from the house. I didn't know that Qi Wenlin followed Your eldest brother came to the capital, and I didn’t know that he had little plans. If I had known earlier, I would have captured your eldest brother and handed him over to your father!"
"In your mind, am I the kind of mistress who treats concubines and concubines harshly?"
"Mom, I'm not doubting you!"
Qin's face was cold and she never defended herself in front of Lian Fangyu, but she didn't want her daughter to misunderstand her.
Lian Suisui stepped forward and pulled her sleeves flatteringly, Qin's face turned cold.
"Since you doubt me, why bother listening to my explanation and complaining to your father!"
The original owner used to complain to Lian Fangyu every day, and her heart had been broken!
"Mom, of course I'm going to file a complaint in front of daddy!" Lian Suisui changed his voice, "But it's not a lawsuit against you. I'm going to file a lawsuit against Lian Jialiang and see how daddy plans to handle this matter!"
Lian Suisui was filled with anger. If she hadn't been alert, would she have been the one to jump into this situation?
If he even deceives his own sister, what future can Lian Jialiang have?
For the sake of a future, I am afraid that I will even betray my own mother!
Lian Fangyu's eyelids kept twitching today. He thought over the official document several times before handing it in without any mistakes.
It's snowing heavily today, and the palace has informed me that there is no need to go to court tomorrow morning, but that all you have to do is go to the Yamen on time to light the meal.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, all offices are busy, but fortunately, this is not the first time for everyone to celebrate the Chinese New Year, so they can complete their work in an orderly manner.
After the tour, the family's carriage came to take Fangyu home.
Lian Fangyu greeted his subordinate officials.
"Master, Madam asked you to go to the main courtyard first after returning home."
Lian Fangyu was a good old man in the yamen. He smiled at everyone he met. He was also the most popular. After laughing for a day, his face became a little stiff. As soon as the curtain was lowered, the smile on his face subsided and he said expressionlessly. I knew it once.
The snow at the gate has been swept away, and his eyelids are twitching more and more all the way to the main courtyard.
"Daddy!"
When Lian Suiying came out, she was completely different from before. Although she broke off her engagement with King Cheng, she might not be able to climb high in the future...
Lian Fangyu had a smile on his face.
"Sui Sui, what's the matter with your mother calling me here? You should let your father breathe first!"
Lian Suisui found his smile a bit uncomfortable.
"Dad, my eldest brother got into trouble, my mother asked for help, and Aunt Zhang is making trouble in front of my mother. Go and have a look!"
Lian Suisui had a busy day today. As soon as he calmed down Lian Xiao, Mrs. Qin sent someone to call Lian Jialiang. Before he could call him, the concierge came to report that there was a man named Qi Wenlin. The scholar handed over the post and asked to see Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin went to see him and prayed for Lin's words with plausibility.
"She was the one who seduced me first. We had an engagement at home, but now we can only cancel the marriage at home. I am the legitimate son of the family. We will suffer a loss by marrying the fourth lady to a concubine. The fourth lady should bring more dowry. Also, Yes, I will take the imperial examination next spring. If I succeed in the examination, I hope that Mr. Lian will support me as my son-in-law..."
It's all nonsense to say that Qi Wenlin is a talented person. He has an average appearance, and with the face of a villain who succeeds, Qin almost couldn't help but have him kicked out.
Facts have proven that there is no lower limit for shameless people.
