Chapter 123 Conspiracy, Disaster
Swallowing his saliva with sobs, Ling Yuyao raised his hand and made a "two" gesture.
"Mother, you must save us this time. He, he only gave us seven days."
"Qi Rui is the son of the Minister of Industry. Even if the Minister of Industry doesn't like him, how can the Minister save face if this matter gets out? If he makes things difficult for us, we will be in trouble."
"As for the concubine, I heard that he had specially consulted a master to find her from another place, and she has been raised outside for some time, waiting for an auspicious day to bring her back home to give birth to a son. Let's not talk about whether this is true or not. Now that this has happened, it's all our fault."
"Mother, my husband is really wronged."
"At first we thought that my husband had made a big mistake, but after much trouble, we finally figured out what was going on. This is clearly a trap set up by someone."
"The worst thing is that my father-in-law also knew about this. Although Young Master Qi is useless, the young master of the Ministry of Personnel who is on good terms with him is the treasure of the Li family. He also discovered this and was even more indignant than Young Master Qi."
"The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the assessment, promotion and demotion of a large number of officials. It is almost the end of the year again. This matter can be big or small, and it will affect more than just the Ministry of Rites."
"Now, he has proposed this private settlement. Mother, you have to help us. This is also helping the Pingyong Marquis Mansion."
"Qi Rui is such a scoundrel. He used to be so friendly with you, but now that this has happened, he doesn't even talk to you anymore. Woohoo... Poor husband, he even beat him up. He said if you don't agree, he will make you a eunuch."
"My father-in-law also told us to settle it quickly, otherwise he would kick us out of the house."
"It's no wonder my father-in-law is angry. The Ministry of Personnel just sent me good news, saying that my father-in-law has done a good job in several tasks this year and may be promoted to deputy minister. But something like this happened at this time."
"Mother, you must help us with this matter. This is not only related to the Sang family. If we are not careful, even the future of my eldest brother and Shao Cong will be affected..."
Holding the handkerchief, Ling Yuyao cried with tears and snot:
"It's not my Sang Shu's fault. As the old saying goes, you don't have to worry about thieves stealing, but you have to worry about thieves thinking about it. It's obvious that this family has been thinking about it for a long time."
"It just so happened that my Sang Shu was unlucky and gave someone an opportunity."
"Mother, he came here with a clear goal of targeting our Pingyong Marquis Mansion."
"I'm going to say something unpleasant, please don't be upset. It's obvious that Sang Shu has saved our mansion from disaster. If it weren't for what happened to him today, the disaster might have happened to my eldest brother or even Shao Cong someday."
“Who can defend against this?”
"Mother, you can't just stand by and watch me die."
"The Sang family is already dissatisfied with me. If this matter is not resolved properly, they might just find an excuse to divorce me."
"Mother~"
This was the scene Jiang saw when she came back from sending someone home.
Originally, she was dissatisfied with the Sang family because of Sang Xi's matter. Seeing the two of them coming back like this on their wedding day was really unpleasant. Jiang could no longer suppress the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.
Without asking, she stepped forward and helped Ling Yuyao who was lying on the ground:
"Little sister, what are you doing? Isn't this an unlucky day for such a happy occasion? What would people think if they saw this?"
"There's no need to rush anything. The ground is so cold."
"Get up quickly!"
After shaking her hand, Ling Yuyao pulled the hem of her skirt again:
"Sister-in-law, my life is at stake. This matter cannot wait. Please help me."
Crying and sobbing, Ling Yuyao recounted the story again with exaggeration.
Before Jiang could say anything, the old lady at the side spitted fiercely:
"What a shameless vixen!"
Knowing that the old lady was referring to Mu Lianzhi, Jiang did not join in this time. On the one hand, Ling Yuyao's words were one-sided, and on the other hand, she directly pointed out that this matter was the legacy of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
This is poking at her lungs.
Thinking of Sang Xi being the concubine's daughter of the Sang family, and being good friends with Ling Yuyao, Sang Xi was able to hook up with Ling Wenzhan and enter the family as Ling Yuchi's mistress because of the interference of this sister-in-law. After the Mid-Autumn Festival incident, the whole family tried to smooth things over, and Jiang felt resentful.
She had no objection if they wanted to use Mu Lianzhi to solve the problem, but she couldn't tolerate them causing trouble during her daughter's marriage.
"Beauty brings disaster and misfortune to the family."
With another heavy sigh, the old lady raised her chin as a gesture, then reached out to pull Ling Yuyao, who started sobbing.
At first glance, it seemed that Jiang still had something she didn't understand, and the old lady was about to give in again.
Yes, she only has one daughter, so wouldn’t she be as hurt as if she were her own eye?
But she only has one daughter, Fei'er!
She felt extremely uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She just said coldly:
"Mother, this may be difficult to handle~"
"It's not that my daughter-in-law doesn't care about my sister-in-law. She just showed her face in front of the empress dowager and the imperial concubine. And we don't know what the attitude of Lord Beitang is now. If this backfires, the Marquis's Mansion, the Doctor's Mansion, and even the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion will all be in trouble."
"Besides, marriage is a big deal. It only happens once in a lifetime. We can't bring bad luck to ourselves, right?"
"If we offend the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion again--"
Jiang looked worried.
Hearing this, Ling Yuyao also became anxious, turned around and glared at her fiercely:
"Sister-in-law, don't you think about why we have suffered such an unexpected disaster? Aren't brother and Qi Rui very familiar with each other? How about you let brother settle it for us?"
"It's not like your eldest brother made a mistake, what good would it do for him to go?"
"Sister-in-law, you don't want to care about it? Don't you know who recruited Qi Rui and why he is interested in that vixen?"
"I'm afraid he's the only one who knows how he got involved, but as the son of the Minister of Industry, I really don't believe he would do anything outrageous for a woman."
Even Beitang Yi would be cautious about these things, and she really looked down on him.
It’s hard to say what the situation is here.
"you?"
Hearing this, Ling Yuyao's face turned red with anger. Just as she was about to say something, the old lady glanced at her:
"Okay, stop talking, why are you fighting among yourselves?"
"What's the big deal?"
"Let's hold Fei'er's wedding first. It's just right to hold the wedding banquet for a few more days, and then operate it secretly, right? Is there a corner or knockout drug missing in the mansion?"
"We don't need an audience this time. If she doesn't tell us, who knows if it will be successful or not? As for whether it will be successful or not, or if there will be any accidents, that has nothing to do with us. The Marquis' Mansion is busy preparing for the wedding."
"Make a big deal small, avoid unnecessary trouble, understand?"
The old lady insisted on adjusting it, so the two of them shut up. As long as it didn't affect them, they naturally had no objection.
The three of them didn't speak loudly and were always paying attention to the movement at the door, but they didn't notice that there was a small window open behind the screen on the inside. A light breeze blew past, and the gauze curtain swayed for a moment.
