Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 172 Working together, the marriage fell through (2)
"Grandmother ordered me to go up the mountain to pray for blessings. How can I disobey Grandmother's wish?" She glanced at Qiu Mingyu, who was obviously absent-minded, and the mocking color in her eyes became even more serious.

"I really envy Third Sister, who can always be filial in front of mother and aunt."

The eldest lady finally understood Qiu Minglan's words this time, she frowned.

"Minglan, are you blaming me?"

Qiu Minglan glanced away lightly, "What are you talking about? My daughter doesn't understand."

The eldest lady opened her mouth, saw Qiu Mingshan, and finally sighed sadly.

"I'm here to pick you up today."

Qiu Minglan was taken aback, "So fast?"

The lady said: "Didn't you already pray for blessings yesterday? The rain has stopped and the mountain road is easy to walk. Come back with me."

Qiu Minglan's eyes flickered, she covered her lips and coughed a few times.The eldest lady immediately held her hand worriedly, "I brought the government doctor, and I'm waiting outside now." After she finished speaking, she was about to order Tortoise to let Dr. Li come in.

Qiu Minglan pulled out her hand calmly, "Mother, my daughter is a young girl who has never been out of the court in the Buddhist temple Qingmiao, and it is not reasonable to see a foreigner here."

The eldest lady was taken aback, and Mrs. Xue Guohou was also taken aback.

"Mingyu, it's different. Even in the mansion, if the ladies are sick, they still have to ask for a doctor, right? That's a matter of course, it's perfectly normal. Besides, with your mother and me here, no one else will say anything .”

Qiu Minglan said: "In the wild in the mountain village, people's words are terrifying."

Da Furen frowned, "If you don't want to, it's fine, just go and fulfill your wish after breakfast, and then come down the mountain with me."

Qiu Minglan lowered her head and smiled silently, "It's just that my daughter's illness is probably not suitable for traveling."

The eldest lady frowned again, "I told you that you were unwilling to let the doctor come in to give you a diagnosis and treatment, and you refused to let you go back. You—hey! Minglan, don't be self-willed, come home with me and recuperate."

Qiuminglan remained indifferent.Qiu Mingyu was waiting impatiently.

"Mother..." She tugged on the sleeve of the eldest lady, pouted her lips as if she wanted to say something, and didn't have time to pay attention to Qiu Minglan.

The eldest madam naturally understood what he meant, but if she asked Xue Yuhua at this time, Ming Lan would feel unhappy again.She was a little confused for a moment, so she looked at Mrs. Xue Guohou.

Received her gaze, Mrs. Xue Guohou did not beat around the bush.

"Minglan, do you know where your cousin is?"

Qiu Minglan looked up pretending to be surprised, "Isn't my cousin in Qiufu?"

Qiu Mingyu blurted out: "Yesterday you obviously met your cousin in the gazebo, but you still don't admit it." Her face was full of indignation, and her tone of speech was not polite at all, and she didn't care whether Qiu Minglan was still sick or not. middle.

"Mingyu." The eldest lady scolded in displeasure.

Madam Xue Guohou frowned, how did Mingyu know that Minglan had seen Yuhua?

But Qiu Minglan was calm and composed.

"Third sister, you have not gone out in the mansion all this time, how did you know that your cousin has gone up the mountain? And who said that I have seen my cousin?"

"I—" Qiu Mingyu realized later that she had slipped her tongue, and her eyes dodged a little.Although the eldest lady also sensed something was wrong, it was not good to question Qiu Mingyu face to face at this time.

But Qiu Minglan didn't let her go, and said aggressively: "I went up the mountain the day before yesterday. Apart from recuperating in the house, I had to go to the main hall yesterday morning to pray for blessings. By the way, I met Mrs. Zhou, the wife of Dr. Yushi in the main hall. Cousin He When I went up the mountain, I never knew, how did you know?"

"I——" Qiu Mingyu, who was not considered smart at all, was rendered speechless by her series of pressing questions. She faltered and couldn't speak. Seeing the suspicious look in Mrs. Xue Guohou's eyes, she became even more flustered, and suddenly glanced aside. Qiu Mingshan who was sitting, her eyes lit up, she grabbed Qiu Mingshan directly and asked, "Tell me, did you meet your cousin in the gazebo yesterday?"

You idiot, admitting that you have met Xue Yuhua is the same as admitting that you have a prejudice against foreigners, which will damage your reputation.In this era, women's innocence is more important than anything else, so naturally Qiu Mingshan would not admit it.

Qiu Mingshan was tightly grasped by her shoulders, her face turned pale, and she argued in a panic: "No, no. Third sister, don't say that. How can we meet a man in the pavilion in private under the clear sky? You... If the word gets out, all the daughters of the Qiu Mansion will lose their reputation." She bit her lip, her face full of grievances.

The eldest lady was startled, and hurriedly pulled Qiu Mingyu over.

"Mingyu, stop. Your ninth sister has been in poor health since she was a child, why are you working so hard?"

Qiu Minglan sneered in her heart, at this moment she really cared about Qiu Mingshan, didn't she fight to the death with Aunt Yun in the early years?Just use Qiu Mingshan as a target.She looked up and saw Qiu Mingshan lowered her head, her face was a little pale, and her body was still trembling.

Qiu Mingyu was still not reconciled, "Mother, she must have met her cousin. Mrs. Zhou, by the way, let's go find Mrs. Zhou. Mother, you must trust me."

Qiu Minglan sneered, "I don't know how the third sister came here so swearing. Do you know how important the reputation of a daughter's family is. If you slander me here today, it's just for selfish reasons. But... do you know , you have lost the reputation of all the sisters in the Qiu Mansion by acting so capriciously." At the end of her speech, there was a bit of indignation and grievance.

"Third Sister, no matter how much you hate me, you don't need to be buried with the reputation of all the sisters in the Qiu Mansion." As she spoke, the circles of her eyes turned red, and a blush appeared on her pale face, and her chest was filled with anger. Up and down.Especially when the righteous indignation-filled truth was uttered just now, people felt even more pity for her being polite, righteous, tolerant and fraternal.On the contrary, it shows that Qiu Mingyu is narrow-minded, selfish and unruly.

Mrs. Xue Guohou frowned, and took a deep look at Qiu Minglan, maybe...

After being scolded by Qiu Minglan, Qiu Mingyu was so angry that her eye circles turned red, she stomped her feet, tugged at the lady's sleeve, and said in disbelief, "Mother, look at her. She is still uneasy staying in the Buddhist temple, so she just She wanted to pretend to be pitiful to win her cousin's sympathy, but she still didn't admit it, she..."

"Mingyu." The eldest lady suddenly scolded, interrupting Qiu Mingyu's complaint.

Qiu Mingyu was taken aback, "Mother?"

The eldest lady looked at her sadly and resentfully, "Stop talking about it."

Qiu Mingyu refused to accept it, and wanted to say something else because of the lady's love, but she saw Baozhu walking in by the lady's side.

"Madam, Miss Fourth, Miss Fifth and Miss Ten are here."

The eldest lady frowned slightly, "Let them in."

"Yes."

After Baozhu went out, the eldest lady glared at Qiu Mingyu again, and she closed her mouth reluctantly.

After a while, Qiu Mingyue and the others walked in.Seeing the atmosphere in the room, one knew that something unpleasant had just happened.Qiu Mingyue's eyes flashed, and she bowed her knees.
