After rebirth, I became Little Marquis’s Bai Yueguang

After listening to what Yuan Miaoyi said, the third lady thought about it and thought it was true, so she asked someone to arrange the carriage and horses to go out tomorrow. There are still people who are interested in asking about the past affairs of the Duan family and Mr. Duan.

Xiao Yunyue seemed to have been waiting at the door of the small flower hall for a long time. The third lady stood up and told Yuan Miaoyi to go back and rest early today, and he walked in.

The third lady sent the young couple to the entrance of the small flower hall, and then returned to her yard.

It was still a short walk from the small flower hall to the residence arranged for them by the third lady. Xiao Yunyue waved away the people who were following them and slowly walked back with his wife in his arms.

Yuan Miaoyi was still thinking seriously about the Duan family's affairs. Xiao Yunyue would never let her fall when she was around her, so she could think peacefully.

Xiao Yunyue tilted his head and could see that she was thinking seriously with her head lowered. There was a red coral earring hanging on her shiny earlobe. Xiao Yunyue even found Yuan Miaoyi's earlobe to be particularly cute.

Seeing Yuan Miaoyi's frown deepening as she thought about it, Xiao Yunyue couldn't help but reached out and touched her eyebrows and said, "What's wrong? What did the third aunt say to you to make you look so embarrassed?"

Yuan Miaoyi withdrew from her thoughts and shook her head: "The third aunt didn't say anything. There is no big difference between the whole thing and the letter she wrote to her mother. I just think that Mr. Duan Something is really wrong.”

She herself can be said to be from an aristocratic family, and Yuan Miaoyi is very clear about the rules between these aristocratic families.

Mr. Duan was able to pass the examination at this age, which at least shows that his tutoring must have been very strict when he was a child, and he could not be allowed to follow his own temper.

With this matter now in full swing, half of Qingzhou is probably talking about the Duan family's doting concubine and killing his wife.

It was true that someone was saying behind his back that Xiao Liuhua was too weak, but in a respectable family, pampering concubines and destroying wives, and messing up the rules of respect and inferiority were extremely despised.

Since Mr. Duan has passed the imperial examination, he will definitely embark on an official career in the future. However, as long as someone with good intentions can control him and interfere with his personal ethics, it will be difficult for him to make further progress in his official career.

Or is this concubine so much loved by Mr. Duan that he doesn’t care about any rules?

Or can Mr. Duan and Mrs. Duan really indulge their son to this extent, and they still favor their son even though the rules in the family are so messed up?

All the Duan family affairs made Yuan Miaoyi feel as if the entire Duan family owed this eldest son.

Therefore, his parents tolerated him repeatedly, and his younger brother and sister-in-law tolerated a concubine stepping on him. It can't be just because this concubine is Mrs. Duan's natal family, right?

So since the two of them were in love with each other, why did they go to the Xiao family to ask for marriage in the first place? Wouldn't it be more beautiful to directly kiss and get married?

After listening to his wife's analysis, Xiao Yunyue pondered for a while and said: "I asked Zhang Zhao to check the Duan family before I came here. I heard that Mr. Duan had a childhood sweetheart. It's just that his background was higher than that of the Duan family. He said that he was a little too low, so he and Mr. Duan did not get married in the end."

In fact, the third lady also knew about this matter, but after all, it was before the marriage, and the two parties were not married. It is normal for things to go back and forth when discussing marriage, so the third lady did not care about it.

Yuan Miaoyi felt that the friendship between childhood sweethearts back then was closely related to the current incident. So he asked: "Then, whose family did that young lady marry in the end?"

Xiao Yunyue smiled and said: "The young lady from the Zheng family in Beijing who is very close to you has been hired by the Lang family. And this childhood sweetheart of the Duan family will be the sister-in-law of the young lady from the Zheng family in the future." But it was much higher than the Duan family, and the family tradition was also very upright. Otherwise, why would Mrs. Gao marry Zheng Wan to her husband's family?

Just looking at the bad relationship between Duan and Xiao's family now, the young lady might be a blessing in disguise.

Xiao Yunyue just heard one or two words outside the Little Flower Hall, and now he asked Yuan Miaoyi: "You are going to Duan's house tomorrow, do you want me to go with you?"

Yuan Miaoyi shook her head and said, "Tomorrow the family members will speak. Why don't you come forward? You'd better stay here and wait for me to come back."

She just wanted to go to the Duan family tomorrow to see what was going on with the Duan family. It was not a formal negotiation between the two families to reconcile, so naturally there was no need for Xiao Yunyue to come forward.

Xiao Yunyue knew that his wife knew what she wanted, so she didn't force her at the moment, so she said, "Then I will send you to Duan's house tomorrow. After you finish speaking, I will pick you up."

Yuan Miaoyi said hello. The two of them had been busy traveling today. Yuan Miaoyi talked to the third lady for a while. After returning to the house, the couple rested early.

But the lights in the Duan family were still bright at the moment. Duan Zhichen was kneeling on the ground expressionlessly, while Mrs. Duan, who claimed to be ill, was being supported by the nanny beside her, wiping tears.

Mr. Duan had a stick in his hand, his face was red with anger, and he was panting heavily. He pointed at Duan Zhichen who was kneeling on the ground with shaking hands and said: "Bad boy, I should have beaten you to death in the first place, it would be better than causing such trouble to the family now."

After saying that, he hit him hard several times with a stick. The stick made a dull thud when it hit his body. Duan Zhichen just remained motionless and allowed his father to vent his anger.

On the other hand, Mrs. Duan, who was crying, couldn't help but rushed forward and said: "Master, if there is anything wrong, it's all my fault. I didn't teach the child well. If you want to hit me, just hit me."

Then he pushed his kneeling son and said, "Just admit your mistake to your father. Tomorrow, I will give a heavy gift to the Xiao family to apologize and take Liu Hua back. She is so soft-hearted, she will definitely forgive you. You guys. Let’s live a good life from now on, okay?”

Duan Zhichen, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this time: "Mother, you are going to marry the little lady of the Xiao family. I told you at the beginning that it would be difficult for me to marry anyone except Yao'er."

After saying that, he twitched his lips and said, "Besides, didn't you already promise me at that time that as long as I marry a wife with a better family background, you won't care about whoever I take in?"

Mr. Duan slammed the table hard and said loudly: "You bastard, you still have the nerve to say such stupid things. Look at the concubine in your house and look at who can't you see what you think? The family has repeatedly given in. , you still think it’s not enough? Okay, okay, I’ll just beat you to death for being an unfilial son and make amends with the Xiao family!”

After saying that, Mr. Duan wanted to raise the stick again, but Mrs. Duan jumped directly on his son and protected him tightly: "Now that the matter has come to this, is it useful to beat my son to death? You might as well beat me to death first!"

No matter how confused Mrs. Duan is, she is still the wife she has been married to for so many years. It was impossible for Mr. Duan to really hit her in front of his son. He was so angry that he pointed at the mother and son, said "A loving mother is a loser", threw the stick away, turned around and walked out the door.
