Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 95 The past is shocking, and he sacrifices himself to save him (5)
"At that time, she felt that the old ancestor didn't help her and made her lose face, so she didn't interact with the Qiu Mansion. But more than 20 years later, the old ancestor decided to let your father marry her grandniece, which is your mother Lin Yufang. She I feel aggrieved. As the mother of the old man, the old ancestor has the most right to interfere in his marriage, but he did not help his niece from her natal family to become her daughter-in-law. Unexpectedly, in the end, she helped her grandniece. This niece There is still a generation gap between her son and grandniece, and she felt that her ancestors were partial. Since then, she has hated Qiu Mansion and Yufang even more."

Qiu Mingyue nodded, thinking that Mrs. Wu is really a pervert, even more unreasonable than the eldest wife Lin Yufang.But thinking about it, she must be a ruthless old lady, otherwise, how could she still be the mistress of the Wu Mansion for so many years after she was estranged from her natal family?There must be a certain means.

"Since you and grandma have already decided on the marriage of your children, how could you..." As a junior, she shouldn't have asked the old matriarch this question face to face, but since the old matriarch started this issue today, she planned to tell her .That being the case, why did she bother to twitch?

The old lady lowered her eyes and let out a low sigh.

"When my ancestor proposed to let your father marry her niece, I strongly opposed it. Because when my ancestor was on his fiftieth birthday, I once saw Lin Yufang who came to pay his respects. Although she looks gentle and virtuous, but I But I inadvertently saw her punching, kicking and uttering bad words to the maidservant. From now on, I know that she is a person who is no less vicious than my ancestors. How can such a woman marry Qinger as his wife?"

"But the old ancestor insisted on going her own way, and she always disliked me, who was not the best candidate for her daughter-in-law, so she naturally turned a blind eye to my objections. Later, I told your grandfather about the marriage with your grandmother. The Qiu family has been going on for generations. For a famous family, the most important thing is to pay attention to etiquette and commitment. Naturally, your grandfather would not destroy the family style. So he and I took your father to the Lin Mansion to apologize. Hey..."

The old matriarch sighed heavily again, "The disaster is actually the beginning and that visit to the door."

Qiu Mingyue's heart tightened and she listened quietly.

"Grand Master Lin is not a pedantic person. He thought about his relationship with Qiulin's family and was an official in the same court as the old man. He didn't blame him too much, but it was a pity. It's a pity that his daughter might not be able to bear this blow. Please I comforted her a lot. At that time, I thought, no matter how unpleasant Lin Yufang is, she is an unmarried daughter of a boudoir. She was abandoned when she was unmarried. It is true that our Qiu family is sorry for her, so I agreed."

The old lady's eyes darkened, her gaze was far away, and she traveled back in time to 19 years ago.

The Lin Mansion 19 years ago was never so beautiful.However, the Qiulin family were originally relatives by marriage, and their friendship was extraordinary. According to the degree of Master Qiu's favor in front of the new emperor, the value of the Lin family also doubled.Therefore, Master Qiu and Mrs. Qiu personally brought his son to the mansion to apologize, which can be said to have given the Lin family enough face.

After some pleasantries, it was getting late.

The moonlight was desolate that night, the cold wind blew, and the sweet-scented osmanthus was fragrant.

The low sobbing sound was like resentment or admiration, like weeping like complaining, pearl-like tears slipped from the eye sockets of the delicate and weak woman, soaking the bright red phoenix and sunny brocade quilt, and burning Qiu Jia's eyes.

"Miss Lin, I know the Qiu family is sorry for you." Sitting at the head of the bed, Qiu Jia looked at the weeping woman half lying on the bed with guilt in her eyes.

"Fortunately, you and Qing'er haven't exchanged horoscopes yet. The Qiu Mansion pushed back this marriage, and it doesn't affect you too much. The Lin Mansion is a well-known family, a century-old family. Your father will definitely find a good marriage for you in the future."

"The elders on both sides have already made a secret agreement, and my mother has already made an agreement with my aunt. Aunt thinks that the only thing that is missing is the Geng Tie?" Lin Yufang stopped crying and raised her head to look at her.

Qiu Jia was taken aback, Lin Yufang lowered her head, a wry smile formed on the corner of her mouth.

"Auntie, tell me the truth, brother Qing...does he not like me?"

Qiu Jia said: "You come from a noble family, and you have both talent and appearance. Qing'er can't have you as a wife, because he is unlucky."

Lin Yufang smiled sadly, "No blessing? It should be me who is not blessed."

Even though Qiu Jia didn't like Lin Yufang, she couldn't bear to see her so self-pitying.

"Yufang, it's not that I insist on breaking the contract. It's that...Qing'er really already has a marriage contract. The Lin family is a big family, and the master and I must not wrong you."

"Marriage?" Lin Yufang looked at the flickering lights of the gilt flower candlestick on the desk, and her eyes also flickered with the candlelight.After a while, she suddenly smiled.

"It's Yufang who is headstrong, please don't take offense, Auntie." She wiped away her tears and smiled sweetly.

Qiu Jia was taken aback, but Lin Yufang was already holding her hand, her face was quite different.

"Auntie, it's Yufang who made things difficult for you, I'm sorry."

Qiu Jia had always felt guilty, but now seeing Lin Yufang's obedient and delicate demeanor, she felt pity in her heart.

"Yufang, you are right. Hey, good luck tricks people."

Lin Yufang lowered her head, her voice was low with bitterness and sadness.

"I know that Uncle has always been the most committed person. Since this matter is a foregone conclusion, I can only blame Brother Qing and I for not having a relationship." Her complexion was dark, and she forced herself to laugh.

Qiu Jiashi touched her head and sighed softly.

"Yufang is handsome and virtuous, and is precious and courteous. There will be better men to cherish her in the future."

Lin Yufang pursed her lips and said with a wry smile, "I hope so."

Qiu Jia lowered her head and sighed silently for a while.After an unknown amount of time, Qiu Jia felt a little tired and fell asleep just like that.

"Then what happened afterwards?" Qiu Mingyue asked, intuitively, she felt that something irreversible must have happened while the old matriarch was asleep.

Sure enough, the old lady said: "I was awakened by the noise outside the door."

"Come here, there are assassins, there are assassins..." The sharp and piercing voice resounded in the ears, and Qiu Jiashi suddenly opened his eyes.

"Auntie." Lin Yufang just came in from the outside, gathered up the satin and pinched skirt on her body, her hair was loose on her chest, her makeup had been removed, it could be seen that she was ready to go to bed.She rushed in with a terrified expression on her face, and hurriedly walked up to Qiu Jia's body with a startled look on her face.

"There are assassins in the mansion, we can't go out."

"Assassins? How could there be assassins in the mansion?" Qiu Jia asked in surprise, her face paled.

Lin Yufang's face became even more frightened, and the hand holding Qiu Jia's was trembling.

"It seems...it's the remnants of the traitor."

"Treason?" Qiu Jia was even more shocked.

Lin Yufang nodded with a pale face, "Yes, traitors. They... They want to kill my father... No, I have to save my father." She was about to run out, but Qiu Jia pulled her back.

"There are generals outside. You are a weak woman, and running out will be useless. If there is a dispute, you will become a drag." Qiu Jia quickly calmed down and analyzed the situation.
