Madam Hou was shocked and hurriedly sent someone to inquire. She heard that this girl, Yu Wanniang, was famous for being willful and indulgent, so she urged Marquis Quyang to cancel the engagement.
However, Marquis Quyang said that when he was traveling, he was frightened by his horse. If it had not been for Uncle Cheng En's righteous action, he would have been smashed to pieces. Leaving aside repaying his kindness, the rumors outside were not credible. Based on Uncle Cheng En's character, he could not believe it. Raised a bad daughter.
Mrs. Hou was anxious and angry, and contradicted her husband for the first time: "It concerns my son's life. I can never rely on you. I only have this son. In the future, our family will depend on him to support us. How can you do so easily?" Making decisions randomly?"
Qu Yanghou sneered: "If it weren't for Uncle Cheng'en, I'm afraid you would have been a widow. Why, would you rather give up my life than accept this favor from Uncle Cheng'en?"
"I can give him any amount of money. Isn't giving money repaying a favor?"
Mrs. Hou was so angry that she had a big quarrel with Marquis Quyang, but Marquis Quyang refused to break off the engagement. Mrs. Hou herself was soft-tempered and cried every night in sorrow, but she did not dare to hide the fact from her husband and break off the engagement. thing.
Mrs. Hou treated the people of Uncle Cheng'en's house coldly, hoping that they would retreat in the face of difficulties, but Mrs. Cheng'en uncle took the initiative to come to the door with her daughter Yu Wanniang. Mrs. Hou saw that Yu Wanniang had a beautiful appearance and knew how to advance and retreat, so she I had a bit of a good impression.
Yu Wanniang came to visit several times, and when Mrs. Hou was ill, she moved into the Marquis of Quyang's mansion under the guise of serving as a sick person. Marquis Quyang praised Yu Wanniang for her filial piety, and let Yu Wanniang go without consulting Mrs. Hou. He took over the central feeder in the mansion.
Mrs. Hou was dissatisfied with the marriage and had always wanted to break off the engagement, so she kept it secret from Zhou Yijing. Until this time, she could no longer bear it, so she cried bitterly while holding her son.
Zhou Yijing made a decisive decision and immediately asked someone to go to Uncle Chengen's Mansion to cancel the engagement. Unexpectedly, the people in Uncle Chengen's Mansion were so shameless that they refused to take out the engagement token left by Marquis Quyang.
Not only that, Qu Yanghou even made a big fuss at home. He scolded Zhou Yijing to no avail, so he sought death and life on his own, saying that he had no face to see his savior again.
Zhou Yijing said: "There are many ways to repay your kindness. I can even take care of Uncle Chengen's house all the time, but I can't agree to this marriage under any circumstances."
Uncle Chengen's Mansion has long been in decline, and none of the young disciples are promising. Zhou Yijing is deeply favored by the Holy Spirit, and it is definitely not arrogant to say such a thing.
Marquis Quyang was stunned.
The next day, Zhou Yijing came to the door in person with the token given by Uncle Cheng En, and gave the token to Uncle Cheng En, saying that the marriage was absolutely impossible.
At this point, Uncle Cheng En still refused to take out the token. Yu Wanniang rushed out crying and screaming, saying that she was born as a member of the Zhou family and died as a ghost of the Zhou family. If Zhou Yijing did not recognize this marriage, she would go Complain to the emperor.
Zhou Yijing left two words coldly, "Please."
After hearing this, Mrs. Hou breathed a sigh of relief and thought she had lost contact with Uncle Chengen's Mansion. Unexpectedly, Yu Wanniang came to visit again soon, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened, but she still regarded herself as Zhou Yijing's fiancée.
At that time, Mrs. Hou was stunned, and after a while she murmured: "Miss Yu, the marriage between our two families has been cancelled."
Yu Wanniang rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Madam, don't say anything about marriage or not. I just think that Madam is kind and kind, and I am willing to be her company. Madam, just be kind and don't drive me away."
As Yu Wanniang spoke, she served tea to Mrs. Hou with her own hands, cut some fruit and served it to Mrs. Hou eagerly.
Mrs. Hou was helpless, and due to her character, she couldn't say a harsh word.
What's annoying is that Marquis Quyang paid a lot of attention to Wanniang, but still let Yu Wanniang intervene in the palace.
Mrs. Hou was already sick, and she was so angry that the illness lingered, and she had to stay in bed for a month to recuperate. As a result, Yu Wanniang was able to gain a foothold in the house.
From then on, Yu Wanniang began to live in Quyanghou Mansion.
After all, she was a girl, and Zhou Yijing could not throw her out personally. Mrs. Hou had no choice but to announce that she recognized Yu Wanniang as her goddaughter.
Mrs. Hou thought simply. Since she was a goddaughter, it meant that she had no chance of getting married to Zhou Yijing.
But when the news finally got out, everyone who knew the inside story was watching, waiting for the day when Yu Wanniang completely left the Zhou family, so that she could come to Zhou Yijing to marry her.
Zhou Yijing originally belonged to a wealthy family and was a hot candidate for son-in-law in the elite circle. After Yu Wanniang made a fuss, she actually put the marriage on hold.
Zhou Yijing had a job and was rarely at home on weekdays, so Yu Wanniang took advantage of his absence to deal with the maids serving around Zhou Yijing one after another.
Dealing with people is not a big deal, but Yu Wanniang's methods are ruthless, and she will beat anyone who doesn't like her at random according to the crime.
Today, all the maids in the mansion are afraid of Yu Wanniang. When Haitang heard that Mrs. Hou said that she wanted to serve the prince on the ninth day of the lunar month, she couldn't help but be frightened.
Haitang couldn't help but think of the maid Jade she had made friends with. Jade was calm and beautiful. She had been writing pens and ink in the prince's study for several years. It was the prince who personally proposed the marriage to Jade, but Yu Wanniang insisted that it was Jade who seduced the master and interrupted her alive. Jade's hands and feet.
At that time, Haitang secretly went to see Jade. Jade's eyes were straight and she murmured, "In two months, I will leave home and get married."
The marriage was planned by the prince himself, thinking that it would be a happy marriage. Feicui had told Haitang about his longing, but Yu Wanniang ruined Feicui's life with just one word.
Haitang was worried about this and said boldly: "Madam, do you really want to ask Chujiu to go to Songyunju? If Miss Yu finds out, I'm afraid..."
The courtyard where Zhou Yijing lives is called Songyunju.
Mrs. Hou frowned when she heard someone mention Yu Wanniang: "Don't mention her! A girl who behaves differently in front of others! I don't think I know. Last time I was a guest at Marquis Jianning's house, someone asked me about my daughter-in-law. What wedding date? I said at that time, my son has not yet been engaged, so where does the wedding date come from, it’s all the girls from the Yu family who are causing trouble!"
Mrs. Hou hated Yu Wanniang and had to pretend to be calm in front of others. Behind her back, she only called her "the girl of the Yu family".
If it weren't for the cultivation she had had since childhood, Mrs. Hou would have called her a "bitch" happily.
Mrs. Hou thought of Chujiu and couldn't help but her eyes flickered: "Look, what kind of person is Chujiu?"
Haitang was speechless for a moment, Qiu Shui said: "Madam, why do I look at her as if she is heartless?"
Mrs. Hou shook her head: "Whether she is heartless or clever, have you ever seen a little girl with such courage? Is she even a little afraid of me?"
Mrs. Hou is the serious mistress of the house, so she is not afraid of her on the ninth day. But what will happen to her on the ninth day when she faces Yu Wanniang, who is not a mistress?
Mrs. Hou sighed: "If possible, I would even like to give Chujiu two more courages. She'd better..."
I can fight with Yu Wanniang.
