They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 331 They actually dared to come!

Xu Zhichun was completely stunned when she received this article of praise.

This was specially requested by her little prodigy for her, his sister-in-law. She's so happy!
She's really something now; not only has she received a title bestowed by the Emperor, but she also has a eulogy written by a prominent Confucian scholar.

It's a success both officially and among the public.

Liang Mingxuan noticed that although his sister-in-law's eyes were full of smiles, there was a lack of seriousness in those smiles, and he knew that his sister-in-law had not yet grasped the weight of this praise.

This wasn't the first time; he would have this feeling from time to time. His sister-in-law didn't seem to have the same innate sense of humility and awe towards officials and wealthy families as the other villagers.

The same applies now.

Liang Mingxuan patiently explained to her what Mr. Songquan's eulogy meant and how remarkable it was.

Xu Zhichun was indeed a little stunned when he heard this.

That's it!

It's really an eye-opener.

She quickly thought of the Qi family. With this eulogy, if the Qi family still wasn't satisfied, they could openly challenge them without having to worry about Magistrate Fan anymore.

Does Magistrate Fan dare to deny Mr. Songquan? He's not out of his mind.

"Mingxuan, thank you!"

Is there anything Xu Zhichun doesn't understand?
Since Mr. Songquan's praise was so remarkable, it would definitely be a huge plus for Mingxuan, but he gave it to her instead.

This child is really something, giving so much at such a young age!
She doesn't actually need it that much.

Hearing his sister-in-law's gratitude, Liang Mingxuan couldn't help but smile, feeling both excited and proud: he could finally do something for his sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, it's what I should do!"

"Good, good, you child."

The eldest son of the Qi family had just recovered from his injuries when he urged his mother to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage to Xu Zhichun's family in a grand and ostentatious manner.

What are you afraid of?
Both were unmarried, and the woman was beautiful and virtuous, making her a desirable match for a gentleman. Was it wrong for him to be so devoted to Madam Xu? Everyone should praise him as a loving and devoted man.

As for the previous scandals, those are all in the past and not worth mentioning.

Do you understand the saying "a prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold"?

Anyone would praise him!
When Young Master Qi becomes shameless, other scumbags pale in comparison.

Little did they know that the Qi family, having suffered a tremendous loss and a crushing defeat, would not let the matter rest. Liang Mingxuan and Constable Yu were already spending money to spread the word that Mr. Songquan had written a eulogy for Xu Zhichun.

Mr. Songquan was so deeply moved that his inspiration struck, and he wrote this eulogy in one go, full of brilliant sentences, sincere emotions, and touching words. Everyone who read it on the spot praised it as a rare masterpiece that should be widely circulated.

The county college principal immediately instructed the students to make twenty or thirty copies.

After the literary gathering, countless students eagerly read it, and it quickly spread among the people.

Qingyang County certainly has them too.

Even in teahouses and taverns where people couldn't read, they heard explanations read aloud, and everyone praised them highly.

As a result, Xu Zhichun was also praised extensively.

Dear sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Qi are so preoccupied with their eldest son's affairs that they have no time to go out and are unaware of what's happening outside.

Madam Qi also hated Xu Zhichun for his viciousness, which had ruined her son and made the Qi family a laughing stock.

Each and every one of these things is related to her.

After this incident, she was too embarrassed to go out and socialize for quite some time.

One year into the start.

If I could get my hands on Xu Zhichun, things would be different. I could vent my anger and get real benefits. Why not?
With her brother-in-law, Magistrate Fan, backing her up, she wasn't afraid at all.

To appease her eldest son, Madam Qi spent a fortune to hire a famous matchmaker named Yang. She rode in a newly decorated carriage provided by the Qi family, and also had her personal maid, Granny Yao, and her head maid, Qingxing, accompany her, carrying several beautifully packaged gift boxes.

Was that enough of a grand display? Was it enough to give the Xu family face?
If she still dares to act arrogantly and refuse to agree after all this, it means she doesn't respect Magistrate Fan. Just wait and see!
When the horse-drawn carriage entered the village, the villagers of Liangjia Village glanced at it twice and didn't pay much attention. Mainly, they had seen too many horse-drawn carriages, mule carts, and donkey carts, so they weren't interested anymore.

Needless to say, they must be going to see Mrs. Xu, either to pay a visit or to discuss business cooperation.

so envious.

It would be an honor to share in that.

Granny Qin Qing opened the door, and Yang, the matchmaker, wearing a dark red silk dress with fluttering butterflies and a bright red flower and silver hairpin in her peony-shaped hair, burst into a string of hot laughter, "This must be Madam Xu's house, right? Congratulations!"

Granny Qin frowned slightly: "Let's not talk about whether you're happy or not yet, please come in quickly."

This person looks like a matchmaker. It's fine if you see it yourself, but you must not let others see it.

The matchmaker, taking it as a welcome, smiled and said okay, then followed her inside.

Granny Yao and Qingxing followed them in, each carrying a gift box, their expressions somewhat haughty.

Granny Qin Qing didn't even bother to glance at them.

"This must be Mrs. Xu? Oh, she's quite a beauty. No wonder, no wonder, hahaha." Matchmaker Yang was very familiar with Xu Zhichun, showering her with compliments and praise as she looked her over.

Xu Zhichun frowned.

Both Granny Qin Qing and Mu Xiang were at their wits' end.

Mu Xiang: "Where did you come from, matchmaker? Since you know to call her Madam Xu, you must have come to the right place. But why are you saying such nonsensical things?"

Matchmaker Yang glared at Mu Xiang with a smile: "What do you know, little girl? Shut up right now, or you'll ruin your mistress's good marriage!"

"I couldn't help but like you the moment I saw you, Madam, and I praised you a few more times. Please don't take offense, Madam. Oh, by the way, my surname is Yang, and everyone calls me Aunt Yang. You must know Madam Xu of the Qi family in Qingyang County, right? Madam Qi specially asked me to act as matchmaker for the eldest son of Qi, asking him to marry Madam Xu. These two are Granny Yao and Qingxing, Madam Qi's maids. They accompanied me and brought many gifts, all carefully prepared by Madam Qi. It's clear that Madam Qi truly values ​​Madam Xu."

"This sentiment is remarkable no matter where it is presented. Wouldn't it be a great pity if Madam Xu refused?"

After Yang the matchmaker finished speaking, another burst of laughter followed.

Granny Yao said disdainfully, "Our lady and Madam Fan are sisters. Our Qi family is a respectable family now. If it were before, Madam Xu would have been dreaming if she wanted to enter our Qi family."

Matchmaker Yang said, "Since you've come all this way, why not just get everything settled?" Madam Xu nodded and said, "Let's exchange the betrothal gifts and wait for the Qi family to come and set the date."

Xu Zhichun sneered: "Who made any agreement with you? The Qi family? Sisters of Magistrate Fan's wife? So Madam Qi is planning to bully others by abusing her power? Magistrate Fan is really pitiful, he's been dragged down by your Qi family!"

"Madam Xu! Be careful what you say!"

"Keep those words for yourselves."
