Liu Anan didn't answer immediately.
She took a shallow sip of the fragrant tea, raised her head and looked at Qiu Lian, with a just right smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
"Miss Qiu, after all, we are more than ten years apart, and we are separated by a generation. Although there are many old friends in the world, Miss Qiu and I have never met each other in our lives. We have no intersection at all, let alone any friendship. Miss Qiu, if you have anything to say, it's okay. Let’s be honest, I don’t like beating around the bush.”
Qiulian didn't expect Liu Anan to be so straightforward.
Shouldn't she just follow her words and let them become friends smoothly, so that she can go to Rong Mansion openly?
How could Liu Anan not understand what Qiulian meant?
She refused to give her this chance.
Luring the wolf into the house by making friends, knowing clearly what Qiu Lian means to her father, she, as a daughter, still acts as a matchmaker. Is she crazy?
If Qiulian is a good person, and if her father does not have a mother in his heart, she will naturally not let him live alone for the rest of his life. As a daughter, it is not impossible for her to find a continuation for her father.
Anyway, her father would not threaten her if she had another son and a half in the future. She had never cared about the Rong Mansion's family fortune.
But in the current situation, how could she let Qiulian get her wish?
Yuzhi listened quietly on the side.
She secretly thought to herself that the Lord of Anle County was not easy to fool, and she must have guessed what the young lady was thinking.
Qiulian gritted her teeth and spoke out what was in her heart.
"County Master, Qiu Lian won't hide it anymore. I have liked Rong Hou for many years. Before, there was Qi Yanran, and I hid my thoughts in my heart. Now that Qi Yanran is dead, Qiu Lian can like Rong Hou openly. County Master You are still young, but you are already engaged, can you bear to leave Ronghou alone for the rest of his life?"
"He should have a woman beside him who knows both coldness and warmth to take care of him. He should have his own life, so Qiu Lian is willing to be by the Marquis's side, even Qiu Lian, the concubine."
After finishing speaking in one breath, Qiulian breathed a sigh of relief.
She doesn't care what Liu Anan thinks, these are what she thinks.
Liu Anan still admired Qiulian's frankness. Of course, she couldn't bear to let her father be alone for the rest of his life.
"I admire Miss Qiu's straightforwardness. You are right. Naturally, I will not watch my father be alone for the rest of his life."
When Qiulian heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Do you think I'm right? Don't you object to my liking Rong Hou?"
Liu Anan smiled, "Why should I object? You like my dad, which means that my dad is outstanding!"
"I will say that the county master is sensible and will not object to Marquis Rong marrying again."
Qiulian was even more happy. If this was the case, she could confess her feelings to Rong Hou directly, right?
Liu Anan looked at Qiulian, whose thoughts were all on her face, and felt a little ridiculous in her heart.
In fact, Qiulian is not bad to the core yet, so she is willing to persuade her. If she goes all the way and hurts her mother, she will not show mercy.
"Miss Qiu, you just said that you would be willing to live in a side room, but is that true?"
Qiulian gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, as long as I can stay with Ronghou forever, Qiulian is willing to be my concubine."
Yuzhi was frightened, is the lady crazy?
If the master and his wife find out, they will beat her to death, right?
"Miss Qiu, as my father's daughter, I still have something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Qiulian immediately replied: "County Lord, please tell me."
"First of all, I don't object to my father marrying again, but you have to know that my father has always had my mother in his heart. Rong Shu was the child born after Qi Yanran drugged my father. How did Qi Yanran get into the Rong Mansion? It’s no secret anymore.”
"Although people have died, what has happened is real. Only that time, my father never touched Qi Yanran again, and Qi Yanran has not been included in the Rong family's family tree. He will be nothing more than a lowly person until his death. concubine."
"What I want to tell you is that my father only has my mother in his heart. No matter whether my mother returns to Rong Mansion or not, it is true that my father will not marry again. So I advise Miss Qiu not to waste time on my father. Don't try to use any means to force my father to bow down, let alone hurt my mother, this is my bottom line."
Following Liu An'an's words, Qiulian's face turned pale little by little.
She heard it.
Liu Anan was warning herself that if she made any move, she would take action.
"Thank you, Miss Qiu, for your invitation today. The scenery here is nice. Miss Qiu, there is still a long way to go in life. Don't hurt others or yourself. Don't forget about Mrs. Qiu."
After saying that, Liu Anan stood up, and Qing Yi and Lu Yi also stood up immediately and followed the girl out of the tea house.
Qiulian's face looked very ugly.
Liu Anan was warning her and threatening her. Mrs. Qiu was her aunt. How could she not remember this?
But she wasn't willing to give in!
Why can Liu Ruyue dominate Rong Jue's heart?
She had a child with another man, and she could still take advantage of Rong Jue so shamelessly, no!
Has she waited all these years in vain?
After finally surviving Qi Yanran's death, she must enter the Rong Mansion!
So what if Liu Anan is the county head?
When he gives birth to a child and establishes himself in the Rong Mansion, will he still be afraid of Liu Anan? She was going to get married after all. How could a married daughter keep her hands on things in her father's house?
Qiulian hated Liu Anan now.
Yuzhi was worried that the young lady would do something stupid, so she carefully advised: "Miss, since Marquis Rong has no intention of marrying again, young lady..."
Before Yuzhi finished speaking, Qiulian glared at Yuzhi fiercely, reached out and pinched her, causing Yuzhi to gasp in pain.
"You are not Marquis Rong, how do you know that he has no intention of marrying again? Don't listen to Liu An'an's nonsense, what good is Liu Ruyue? If she ruins her reputation, Rong Mansion will not let her in."
A trace of viciousness flashed in Qiulian's eyes. A woman whose reputation has been ruined has no face in the world!
Yuzhi knew that he couldn't persuade the young lady, so he stopped saying anything.
Liu An'an came back from Baihuayuan and went directly to the shop and told Croton to keep an eye on Qiulian. She knew that Qiulian would not give in and there must be another plan.
Liu An'an has not returned to Rong Guogong's mansion in the past few days, so he lives in the Hou's mansion. When he goes out by himself, Grandma Jin stays in the mansion and handles all kinds of news.
On this day, Grandma Jin came in angrily.
"Mommy, what happened?"
Liu Anan rarely saw her grandma lose control.
Grandma Jin has experienced too many strong winds and waves, and she can control her emotions very well.
"Girl, there are some rumors out there, they are aimed at Madam."
"Oh, tell me, it was Qiulian who released it, right?"
Liu Anan guessed that it was Qiulian who did it.
"It was said outside that when my wife was living abroad, she lived in a brothel in order to support the girl. Later, she left the brothel because of a dispute with other prostitutes in the building. They are saying that she has a nose and eyes. This old slave is so angry!"
Qing Yi and Lu Yi were also annoyed when they heard this.
Liu Anan narrowed his eyes, what a Qiulian, really shameless!
"Mommy, go prepare some things and come with me to Qiu Mansion. I will satisfy her. Anyway, she said that she is willing to be a concubine. I, a magistrate of the county, came to carry her into the manor in person. She should be grateful to me."
Liu Anan told her mother, Qing Yi and others about her plan.
Immediately, Grandma Jin arranged for people to prepare.
The Rongguo Duke's Mansion and the Hou Mansion have not heard the news yet, but Third Young Master Chu came over. He also heard some rumors and was worried about An An and Aunt Liu. Mr. Chu asked him to come over quickly and inform him.
"Third brother, you're here just in time. Follow me to Qiu Mansion later." Liu Anan told Third Young Master Chu the plan.
When the Third Young Master heard this, he said, "Don't worry, I'll find someone right away. We'll go there with drums and gongs. The more lively the better."
Soon, a group of people came out of Congrong Mansion, dressed in red and green, carrying drums, playing and playing, and there was a big red banner in front of the group.
The Rong Mansion is pleased to have a concubine and warmly welcomes Miss Qiu Lian from the Qiu Mansion to become a concubine!
