Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 287: Meeting the Parents

Caught off guard, Mei Qian met Li Shu's eyes and subconsciously looked away.

Before, she was disgusted by Qi Chen's words that everything should be left to him and he could say it.

Now, Mei Qian hid directly behind Qi Chen, and her body honestly expressed that everything depended on Qi Chen.

At this, Qi Chen couldn't help but laugh.

Looking at the little movements of the young couple in front of her, Li Shu couldn't help but snorted again: "Am I some kind of jackal, tiger or leopard? Why is this child so afraid of me?"

"I'm not scared, I'm just nervous."

Mei Qian showed up again and explained.

Seeing that Mei Qian was afraid just now, but when it was time to speak, she explained without any hesitation, Li Shu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"This kid is pretty good."

Li Shu suddenly praised Mei Qian, and then looked at Qi Chen with a serious look on her face, and said:
"An An, have you thought it through? Marriage is a big matter, and it's not easy for me to make the decision right now. It's all up to you."

"In reply to your mother's words, I have been thinking about this for a long time. I have been thinking about this since I realized what was in my mind. I want to be with Qianqian for the rest of my life."

"Are you serious?"

Li Shu was startled by Qi Chen's words. She felt relieved but also a little melancholy.

She turned to look at Mei Qian again and asked, "Are An An's words very touching?"

"Ah."

Mei Qian nodded, but she found that Li Shu didn't seem as happy as she had imagined.

“No matter how touching a man’s words are, just listen to them.

If you really take it seriously, and if An An betrays you in the future and doesn't fulfill the promises she made, what will you do? "

"Mother concubine!"

Qi Chen was a little furious, this was his biological mother!
What is his mother doing?

"Then divorce." Mei Qian said straightforwardly, "However, with Qi Chen's status, he may not be able to divorce if it really comes to that.

By then I can go back to my own house and continue to be the Marquis of Yongning. Out of sight, out of mind."

After Mei Qian finished speaking, it was Li Shu's turn to be dumbfounded for the second time.

She was stunned by her son's words just now, and she didn't expect Mei Qian's answer to be so decisive, which made her even more dumbfounded.

"An An...you promised this too?"

"Mother, didn't you hear everything just now? Why are you asking me?"

There are some things that are embarrassing to say a second time.

But his behavior can be regarded as a kind of acquiescence.

But Li Shu was also unhappy and said: "I just heard that you wanted to marry someone as your queen when I arrived. What did I hear?"

Mei Qian: "..."

Oh, that’s good. Li Shu didn’t hear her “unfair terms” just now.

Qi Zhen: "..."

Oh, that's good, otherwise mother would be sad again when she heard about her past with father.

Li Shu's personality was even more volatile than Mei Qian had imagined. After asking about their relationship, she didn't ask any more questions.

She felt that she had nothing to say.

It is better to learn less from her previous experiences which are not very good.

Moreover, Mei Qian's personality reminded her of her teacher.

A woman like her teacher would never let herself suffer any loss.

As for her son, she only hopes that he can do what he says and live a happy life.

However, Li Shu finally asked: "Does your family know about this?"

Mei Qian: “Ah…”

She hasn't told her grandmother and parents about her relationship with Qi Chen.

But Mei Qian thought again, no, it seemed that she had already agreed to marry Qi Chen, but her family still seemed to know nothing?

Mei Qian took a deep breath and thought that if this was suddenly told to everyone at home, it would scare them to death.
How could Qi Chen and Li Shu not know Mei Qian's expression?
Qi Chen also explained: "Qianqian's family is in Jiangnan. After we cross the river next year, we will naturally tell their family."

"Huh~ Qianqian has the ability to do this. Wouldn't it be easy to catch her if she just notifies her?"

After listening to Li Shu's words, Mei Qian came to her senses and asked, "Do you want to see my family?"

"May I?"

Mei Qian was silenced by Li Shu's bright eyes and the question she asked her.

Although her grandmother, her parents could accept her grandfather's dream, the sudden appearance of a beautiful woman in the dream, this... this is a bit scary, right?

"My grandfather has passed away too. In the past few years, it's been my grandfather who has been talking to my family." Mei Qian was tactful and decided to let her grandfather handle the "meeting the parents session."

However, after Mei Qian summoned her grandfather, she briefly introduced Qi Chen and Li Shu, then took Qi Chen and ran away.

Tonight is clearly New Year’s Eve, why has it turned out like this?
"Have you ever thought about what happened tonight leading to this point?" To be honest, Qi Chen didn't dare to think about it.

This development was unexpected, but also very logical.
Qi Chen used his wide sleeves to hide the way he was holding Mei Qian's hand, and then asked: "After the New Year, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to arrange our wedding..."

It's a new year again.

But on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, Mrs. Mei unexpectedly slept in.

Han didn't expect that she would be the first to get up on New Year's Day this year.

She asked Cui'er to go to the kitchen to steam dumplings first. When the dumplings were ready, Han couldn't wait to call for help.

"Second brother, second brother's family?"

It was rare for her mother-in-law to sleep in, and Mei Erhu and his wife rarely slept in throughout the year.

Why did you sleep in today?
Is it inappropriate to sleep in on New Year's Day?
Since her mother-in-law didn't dare to call, Han went to call Mei Erhu and the others.

Hearing Han's shout, Old Lady Mei, who was awakened from her dream, patted her face. She heard Han's loud voice outside the house reaching her side. Old Lady Mei sat on the bed and pinched her face with her hands:
"Shh! It hurts! I'm not dreaming... No, no, what did the old man say in the dream?"

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Mei received a "critical blow".

"How come this future is going so fast?"

She couldn't figure out whether the dream she had last night was real or she was just too outrageous. How could she dream that her granddaughter became the queen?
"Isn't it the Marquis?"

At this time, Mei Erhu and his wife in the east room also woke up. Their reaction was almost the same as that of Old Lady Mei. They opened their eyes, got dressed, and rushed to the inner room.

Old Mrs. Mei had just come out of the bedroom and saw the couple rushing in in a hurry.

As soon as the three of them looked at each other, they immediately understood that what they had said in the dream last night was true.

Immediately, Mei Erhu's legs went weak and he knelt down in front of Old Lady Mei, which scared Han.

"Hey! Second brother, you are too active, aren't you?"

Han felt that her position in her mother-in-law's heart was no longer secure, so she immediately ran to Old Lady Mei to kowtow and wish a happy new year.

Now, Old Mrs. Mei was blocked directly at the bedroom door.

"Quan Dan! Little Fourth! Come quickly, come and kowtow to your grandmother!"

After kneeling down, Han did not forget to greet the younger ones.

Quandan and Xiao Laosi were fascinated by the dumplings in the kitchen when they woke up in the morning, and when they heard Han's call, they ran over.

For a while, the door of Old Lady Mei's house was full of people kneeling, which made Old Lady Mei very upset.

Finally, she thought about the first day of the new year and finally resisted the urge to curse.

A bunch of idiots who don't even know how to read people's expressions. Who would block someone at the bedroom door during New Year's greetings?!

After enduring for a long time, when the whole family finished breakfast, Mrs. Mei looked for Mr. Mei and his wife to discuss the matter.

"Mom, is what Dad said reliable?"

Mei Erhu went straight to the point, but he still couldn't believe it.

"Nonsense, have you ever seen your father say something that doesn't count?"

After being blocked by Old Lady Mei, Mei Erhu stopped talking.

Doesn’t this mean that his daughter is really going to be the queen?

"That's not it. Why did the emperor fall for Qianqian? There are so many young ladies from official families, but he didn't fall for this one?"

"Why? Why can't the emperor take a fancy to my granddaughter? She's not ugly, she's smart, and she was an official before. She's so powerful, shouldn't he marry her home?"

Old Mrs. Mei originally wanted to explain why the emperor fell in love with Qianqian, but after Mei Erhu said that, Old Mrs. Mei, who always protected her own people, couldn't help but speak up to defend Mei Qian.

But I have to say that Mrs. Mei's praise sounds quite reasonable.

"But, but we are not a good match... What if Qianqian is wronged in the future?"

If it were someone else who got rich overnight, they would have been so happy that they would have gone crazy. Who would have cared about whether they were wronged or not?
But even though Jiang was so worried as a mother, Old Lady Mei didn't tell her. Even Old Lady Mei herself was wondering in her heart and couldn't imagine how Mei Qian did it.

"Really? The old man didn't explain it in detail last night, which made us so scared now!"

Old Mrs. Mei was complaining that Old Man Mei said too little, but Old Man Mei himself was also shocked, right?
I've never seen this before!

Not only did the emperor fall in love with a commoner's daughter, he also wanted her to be his queen?!

Even though he had communicated with the emperor's mother for a while, when Old Man Mei brought the story back and recounted it, his words were no longer effective.

I can't explain it myself, let alone.

In short, it's just one sentence: "Qian girl is going to be the queen."

This summary was like a bolt from the blue.

"As long as this matter is not spread outside, we should just pretend we don't know and keep it to ourselves!"

Although she couldn't understand it, Old Lady Mei still knew how to deal with the news. After giving strict instructions to Mei Erhu and his wife, she went back to lighting incense as usual.

This time, she didn't ask Old Man Mei to bless her whole family or anything. Instead, she kept muttering that she hoped Old Man Mei would be able to share this "gossip incident" with her in private one day.

Mrs. Mei: I want the exclusive inside information!

Old Man Mei: I want to too.
