Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 119
"Third Aunt." Qiu Mingyue stepped forward and called out.

The third lady seemed to be thinking about something, but she was startled when she heard Qiu Mingyue's call suddenly.

"Ah? So it's Mingyue." The third lady patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is there a problem?"

Qiu Mingyue took a look at Qiu Mingrong, and said with a smile: "I heard that Third Aunt has been feeling a little uncomfortable recently, but is there a serious problem?"

The third lady smiled kindly, "It's okay, maybe I was a little tired the past two days, just rest for a few days and it will be fine."

"That's right, the third sibling was busy negotiating marriage for Ming Qi a few days ago, aren't they tired?" The second wife's voice came from the door with a lukewarm voice.

Looking back, Qiu Mingyue saw the second lady walking out holding Hongyu's hand.

The third lady's face froze, and she said: "Ming Qi is 17 years old, only a few months younger than Ming Xuan. Now that Ming Xuan's marriage has been finalized, Ming Qi can't delay it any longer." She sighed, her eyes widening. Somewhat sad.

"There were too many things to do a few days ago, and I didn't have much time to spare. I was delayed. It made my second sister-in-law laugh." Her calm demeanor still had a hint of timidity, and her eyes were soft and humble, which made people see He is a weak and deceitful person.

Qiu Mingyue couldn't help sighing, the third lady is the most acting person in the Qiu Mansion.Thinking about it, the shrewd second wife and the cunning old matriarch were all confused by her hypocrisy.

The second lady glanced at her lightly, and said: "I heard that the third younger sibling has fallen in love with the daughter of Mr. Zhou's family in Yushitai?"

The third lady nodded and said: "I met Miss Zhou before. She looks good, speaks well, behaves well, and is as gentle as a willow. She also has a poetic spirit in her stomach. She is a good woman."

"The third sibling has a unique vision, which is good."

The third lady was startled, wondering how she offended the second lady.

"Second sister-in-law?"

The second lady turned her head, her face was cold and her eyes were ironic.

"However, I heard that Miss Zhou was not a concubine. She was just a concubine raised by Mrs. Zhou."

The third lady's face turned pale, "Although she is a concubine, fortunately, she behaves well. Besides, Mrs. Zhou is strict in teaching daughters. I think Miss Zhou is not weaker than a daughter-in-law."

"That's true." The second lady said ambiguously, she raised her head, as if she only found Qiu Mingyue at this time, and let out a huff.

"Mingyue is here too."

Qiu Mingyue blessed her body slightly, "Second Aunt is well."

The second lady gave her a meaningful look, and said something suddenly.

"Mingrui's child is very smart. Mingxuan often praises him in my ears. This is all thanks to your sister."

Qiu Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't understand what the second lady meant, she just said: "Brother is talented, he always teaches and supervises. Mingrui is still young, so I really don't dare to be proud."

The second lady smiled without a smile, "I don't know if Aunt Shen has taught you a word. A woman's lack of talent is virtue."

Qiu Mingyue's eyes flickered slightly, and a trace of coldness flashed across her eyes, but she said with a smile on her face: "How can a woman know virtue without talent?"

The second lady's face was slightly cold, "As a woman, you must first learn the three obediences and four virtues, and women who are precepts and women should understand the three principles and five constant principles. Those things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are secondary. You can learn how much you can, and if you can't learn it, just work hard If you learn to be dignified and magnanimous, you will be able to find a good husband in the future."

Qiu Mingyue's eyes flickered slightly, and a blush appeared on her face.

"Why did Second Aunt say these things? I..." She lowered her head, feeling ashamed.

"Second brother and sister, after all, Mingyue is a daughter's family who has not left the court. It would be inappropriate for you to say these things in front of her." The eldest lady's flat voice interspersed again. Miraculously, she actually helped Qiu Mingyue this time.

Qiu Mingyue knew that the eldest lady had always been indifferent to the second lady, and now she was just suppressing the second lady by herself.

The second lady glanced back, "Sister-in-law's words are wrong."

The eldest lady raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"Daughters of other families usually discuss marriage when they are eleven or twelve years old, but Mingyue is already 13 years old this year."

The corner of the eldest lady's mouth was slightly cold, "Have you forgotten the second sibling? Mingzhen is almost 15 years old, and Mingzhu is also 14 years old. There must be a first come, first served."

The second lady smiled again and said: "Sister-in-law is right, I will find a suitable husband's family for Mingzhen to marry her off tomorrow. To save Mingyu from getting married in the future, her husband's family will say that she doesn't respect her elders and children, and surpass herself cousin."

The eldest lady's complexion changed, and her voice raised a bit.

"Just a concubine, how can she be compared with Mingyu?"

These words just fell into the ears of Aunt Yue who had just stepped out of the door. She paused in her footsteps, lowered her head, and a trace of coldness flashed across her face.Then quickly suppressed the expression on his face, and walked over with a calm face.

"Ming Zhen can't be compared with Miss San."

The eldest lady snorted coldly, "It's also thanks to your self-knowledge."

Qiu Mingyue secretly sighed in her heart, the lady is still not calm enough.Even if it's just Aunt Yue Yue, she is not sure of victory, let alone the scheming second wife?

It's not the first time Qiu Mingyue has seen Aunt Yue, but Aunt Yue is a beauty this time.

It should be said that the purple clouds, purple moons and purple jades that the old matriarch bestowed on the eldest master, the second master and the third master respectively back then were all beauties.Among them, Aunt Yu is the most.

Aunt Yue is dressed in emerald green gauze with thin smoky gold silk, a long skirt with peony thin hookah that drags the floor, and a hibiscus-colored wide-sleeved wide-body top.The face is fair and clean, and the facial features are beautiful and charming.Every move reveals the style of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and his eyebrows and eyes fluctuate like water, like the white mist rising from the river, dazzling the heartstrings.

Aunt Yue's face showed no anger, she still said with a smile: "Miss San is respectful and graceful, and she is graceful and graceful, which is incomparable to others."

The eldest lady's brows were filled with pride, she snorted, and then cast a sideways glance at Qiu Mingyue, with a hint of coldness in her eyes, and then walked away.

Qiu Mingyue lowered her head, "Send mother off respectfully."

The second lady turned her head to look at her obedient expression, her eyes flickered slightly.She took a step forward, leaned close to Qiu Mingyue's ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You are indeed extraordinary."

Qiu Mingyue also whispered: "Second aunt is very wise, Mingyue is ashamed of herself."

The second lady stood up straight, her eyebrows and eyes returned to cold and arrogant.

"Be safe, don't ask for things that don't belong to you, otherwise it won't do you good."

Qiu Mingyue half-closed her eyes, what did the second lady mean by that?
The second lady didn't say any more, turned around and left.

Qiu Mingzhu turned her head to look at her, that look implied worry, and then left with the second lady.

Qiu Mingyue stood where she was, her eyes darkened slightly.

Second lady, what's the secret?
Why did Xue Yuhua keep himself away from Qiu Mingxuan?
