Jing Yu also nodded, "What my uncle said is absolutely true. This important matter of marriage cannot be delayed."

Seeing that Jing Yu seemed to be relieved, Qi Hanyan and Mrs. Qi also breathed a sigh of relief, but Jing Yu did not continue.

Mrs. Qi was anxious, but Qi Hanyan had been in the officialdom for a long time. At this moment, he just picked up the tea and drank it without asking any questions.

Jing Yu then said slowly and leisurely: "I would like to ask, this junior, has the sixth girl of your house, who is gentle, courteous, thrifty, and of good looks, ever been married?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the Qi family couple kept changing.

However, Qi Hanyan was surprised at first. He did not expect that Jing Yu was actually willing to marry the concubine of his family. Before, he only thought that Qi Lingyao's legitimate daughter's identity was feasible, so he repeatedly matched the two.

Now, it was a blessing from heaven. With his concubine marrying Jing Yu, his legitimate daughter could get a better family in exchange for more benefits. After being surprised, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Mrs. Qi felt as if she had been ripped off on the spot. Her Yaoer was not better than that foxy girl, let alone her status as the legitimate daughter of the Qi family.

Even so, Jing Yu still chose Qi Lingying. If word got out, her Yaoer would be laughed at by many people!

She spoke directly without thinking: "Sixth girl, how can the good nephew say so well? She has been raised by my side for these years, and I know her best. Moreover, her sisters have not allowed anyone else to live with her. Where can I go?" Is it her turn?"

Qi Hanyan patted her leg under the table, his eyes full of warning.

How can someone come to propose marriage and slander their own daughter!

Jing Yu didn't care about Mrs. Qi's slander, and spoke in a soft tone: "This junior is willing to marry Miss Sixth as his wife, and entrust her to the middle-class husband to have children for the rest of his life."

As soon as the words fell, the room was filled with silence.

After a while, Qi Hanyan finally spoke: "Xiannephew, have you decided on my family Ling Ying?"

"In front of the elders, how dare the younger generation play with the important events of their lives."

Jing Yu smiled lightly, but his tone was firm.

Qi Hanyan was extremely satisfied. It happened that they had just agreed to get engaged before, but they had not decided on a daughter. Now that the concubine was replaced by the legitimate daughter, this deal was a great deal.

As he thought this, his expression softened a lot.

"My nephew is so sincere, it is my family's blessing for Xiaoliu. I..."

"Master!" Mrs. Qi's voice interrupted Qi Hanyan's words.

As soon as Qi Hanyan heard Mrs. Qi's tone, he knew that the following words must be inappropriate, and immediately interrupted.

"Madam, you must be overjoyed."

He pulled off Mrs. Qi's sleeves under the table, and even looked at Mrs. Qi with a faint warning.

Jing Yu, however, did not intend to continue playing with Mrs. Qi. He stood up with a smile and bowed to Qi Hanyan.

"It is also a blessing for the younger generation to marry a girl educated by Qi Mansion."

Qi Hanyan felt very comfortable with the compliments and quickly went to help Jing Yu, "We are all a family from now on, so why should a good nephew be so polite?"

While helping Jing Yu up, he asked in a low voice: "It's just... I wonder if the Fourth Highness..."

Jing Yu heard the song and knew its elegant meaning, "Everything is as Your Highness wishes."

Qi Hanyan nodded slowly and smiled even more, "Then, my nephew, do you have any ideas for this day?"

"Uncle, don't worry, I will go back to discuss with my parents and we will get married as soon as possible."

After Jing Yu finished speaking, he pulled out a delicate box from his sleeve. "Now that the matter has been settled, I want my maid to send a token to Miss Sixth. Can uncle be accommodating?"

When Qi Hanyan's important matter comes to pass, there is nothing he can't do about it.

Jing Yu took Qian Xue's hand without hesitation and handed the things into her hands.

"If someone is looking for trouble for you, just report my name. If you still don't want to give in, don't be afraid of offending people, just come to me directly, and I will help you make the decision."

He spoke in a gentle tone and warned carefully, not caring at all that he was in the Qi Mansion now, and the two elders of the Qi family were standing behind him.

Qianxue was a little nervous being stared at by the people around her, but she still took the thing and held it carefully in her hands.

Qianxue was about to follow her servants to find Qi Lingying, when Jing Yu stopped her again.

"Help me bring a message to Miss Qi Liu. If she keeps her promise, this thing will be a token of love, and I will let her get married with great splendor."

Jing Yu lowered his head and whispered, his warm breath tickling Qian Xue's neck, like a feather brushing across Qian Xue's heart.

However, the words Jing Yu asked her to convey dropped pebbles in her heart, causing ripples on the surface of the lake to remain calm.

She held back the sourness in her eyes, nodded quickly to indicate that she had remembered everything, and then followed the boy who led the way towards Qi Liuyuan.

After being some distance away from Jing Yu, Qian Xue suddenly felt that something was wrong with Jing Yu's tone just now. It didn't sound like a whisper between lovers, but more like a threatening agreement.

The boy who led the way was very considerate. Along the way, he carefully warned Qian Xue where there were bumps and slopes, and to pay attention to her steps.

Qianxue couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It was worthy of being a family with powerful ministers and royal relatives. It had its own heritage, and even a servant was so well-educated.

"The sixth lady's yard is just ahead. If it's inconvenient for you to go there, please take a few more steps."

Qianxue smiled and thanked the boy, then walked into Qi Lingying's courtyard holding the box.

Qian Xue looked around casually and found that unlike the elegant and noble decoration outside, Qi Lingying's courtyard was simply shabby. If Qian Xue hadn't been sure that she was still in the Qi Mansion, she would have suspected that she had gone to the wrong place. .

A little maid who was busy in the courtyard stepped forward and stopped Qianxue, "I wonder what the reason for this girl's visit is?"

"I am the maid of Master Jing Yu, the eldest son of Prime Minister Jing. I am here to deliver something to Miss Qi Liu as instructed by my young master." Qian Xue said as she handed the box in her hand forward.

The maid nodded, but replied without any joy on her face: "Please wait a moment, miss. I'll go in and make a call."

The maid quickly came out of the inner room and motioned for Qianxue to come in.

Seeing that no one came out to greet her, Qianxue couldn't help but asked softly: "But what happened?"

The maid glanced at Qian Xue, and finally shook her head helplessly, "Oh...girl, you'd better go in and see for yourself."

Qianxue became more and more confused. As soon as she entered the door, she heard Sizhu's voice, "It turns out to be Miss Qian, come in quickly."

Her smile was a little forced, but she still tried to look happy.

Qian Xue quickly looked around the room, but Qi Lingying was nowhere to be seen. She stopped two steps away from Si Zhu and asked, "Why don't you see Miss Six?"

The pretended joy on Sizhu's face completely disappeared, and turned into a faint sigh, "Oh... I'm recuperating on the bed in the back room."

Qianxue was puzzled. She was fine when she was fishing yesterday, but why is she so sick today that she has trouble even seeing people?
