Chapter 411 The Cannon Fodder of the General’s Mansion (33)
Are you crazy to say this?
Tie Yi felt that there might be some misunderstanding here, and thought that Jiang Lai was still sleeping, so he might as well take advantage of this time to resolve these matters.
Jiang Yu lives in the courtyard next to it. It is a single-person courtyard, so it is not very spacious. There is also a large family of the Hou family sitting in it, which makes it a bit crowded.
Tie Yi sat down and waited for the Marquis in front of him to speak first.
"The purpose of inviting the general here this time is to ask the general what he means. Can he put aside his past grudges and give the Hou Mansion a chance to rebuild old friendships?"
Tie Yi did not drink the tea poured by the Marquis himself, but did not answer the question.
"Previous feud? Where did the feud between me and Mr. Hou come from?"
When the Marquis heard this, he thought Tie Yi said this deliberately just to continue holding Qiao.
"At that time, the General's Mansion wanted to marry their younger daughter, but at that time, the younger daughter Jiang Yu suddenly suffered from an old illness and was bedridden. I had no choice but to privately decide to let my second daughter Jiang Lai marry her, so that we, the General's Mansion, and even the in-laws would not have to do anything."
Tie Yi nodded, so it turned out that he should be glad that Jiang Yu suddenly suffered from an old illness at that time.
Of course he knew the reason behind it, but it was just a request for marriage from the General's Mansion. The people in the Marquis' Mansion were reluctant to marry their legitimate daughter Jiang Yu, so they directly sent Jiang Lai, who was not popular, over.
As for why Jiang Lai was so unpopular in the Hou Mansion, Tie Yi couldn't figure it out, but he only needed to understand one thing now, that is, Jiang Lai didn't like his mother's family and was unwilling to interfere in her family's affairs.
Therefore, Tie Yi turned a deaf ear to the overt and covert requests of the Marquis. Even though the Minister of Dali Temple and him were close friends, Tie Yi never thought of interceding with the Marquis.
Anyway, Jiang Lai is already his, so why should she care about things that she doesn't care about.
But why is the Hou Mansion mentioning this matter again now?
Could it be that he wants to marry Jiang Yu too?
Tie Yi's face was sullen, showing no trace of joy. Such a cold face made the Marquis confused and confused as to what he meant.
He is willing to marry Jiang Yu, shouldn't he be grateful?
At least it shouldn't be the indifferent expression he has now.
"Haha... I wonder what the general means, or is he dissatisfied with what our Marquis Mansion has done?"
Tie Yi sat upright with a cold expression.
"Jiang Lai is now my wife. Being able to marry her is already my blessing, Tie Yi. Thanks to the Marquis who agreed to betroth Jiang Lai to me, I should be the one who feels guilty.
Things were busy at that time, and Jiang Lai, who was wronged, entered the door in a sedan chair. I will definitely find a way to make up for this matter, and it will not disgrace her status as the daughter of the Hou family.
As for what the Marquis said, how can I be dissatisfied? It's not too late to be grateful. If the Marquis has any dissatisfaction with Jiang Lai, you can directly complain to me now. After all, Jiang Lai and I are husband and wife. ”
What Tie Yi said made the Marquis choke back. He held the teacup and stared at Tie Yi, trying to figure out what Tie Yi meant.
"The general means that he is very satisfied with our second daughter Jiang Lai?"
Tie Yi looked at him and said seriously.
"I am satisfied with Jiang Lai. This has nothing to do with whether she is your daughter, and I am afraid that the Marquis may have misunderstood. I have no thoughts about your daughter Jiang Yu, neither before nor now. I have said what needs to be said. It’s over.”
Tie Yi stood up and said something else without waiting for the Marquis to say anything.
"Selling a girl for glory I thought it was just something in a playbook, but today it was an eye-opener. Mr. Marquis, please pay more attention to yourself. After all, it was Mr. Hou himself who caused the Hou family to be reduced to this stage." .
Farewell. ”
Walking out of the courtyard, Tie Yi clearly heard the sound of tea bowls being thrown inside. With his keen hearing, he could also hear the angrily cursed words of the Marquis.
Tie Yi continued to stride forward. There were people like this in charge of the Hou Mansion, so it was reasonable for him to decline.
——
After Tie Yi left, the yard became empty. Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Zhao, who had been staying in the house, ran out when they heard the noise outside and were shocked when they saw the broken teacups on the ground.
"Master Hou, what's wrong? Is it possible that Tie Yi made an extravagant request?"
Mrs. Zhao chatted next to her.
"We are already willing to betroth my daughter to him, what else does he dare to ask for? He doesn't even look in the mirror to see who his parents are!"
He is just a lowly commoner, and the Marquis's marriage to such a person is a complete act of self-degradation.
"Shut up! This family has been ruined by the mouths of you women!"
Mrs. Hou was startled, but she still asked patiently.
"What's going on? If there's anything else that hasn't been agreed upon, you can tell me."
"We've agreed? What else is there to talk about? They don't like your daughter Jiang Yu at all! What they like is Jiang Lai, the son of a concubine! What do you think we should do?! What else can you two do?!"< br>
The Marquis was furious.
He is now a drowning man and in urgent need of a life-saving straw. As a result, Tie Yi, the only one who can help him now, is resolute. Everyone in the court is waiting to see his house confiscated and expelled, but he can't do anything! We can only wait to die!
The two women in front of me can't help in any way, and they are also useless after giving birth to two daughters!
Mrs. Hou's eyes turned red when she heard this.
"What do you mean? He doesn't like Yu'er and likes Jiang Lai? How is that possible! Yu'er is so good, I can't find anyone else in the world! Is there any misunderstanding here? I'll go talk to him again."< br>
"You think you haven't been embarrassed enough, don't you?! My Marquis's face has been trampled under his feet by Tie Yi, and now you still want to lick your face and continue to be looked down upon by him?! Born by a concubine, you are so capable, Gou Tie Yi didn't even want his legitimate son.
Concubine Zhao, look at the good daughter you taught me! He didn't recognize his relatives and only learned a piece of foxy kung fu!
And your good daughter, she thinks she is so noble that even a reckless man like Tie Yi can't look down on her! Useless things are useless things! ”
"You are not allowed to say that about my daughter!!"
With a scream, Mrs. Zhao pushed Mr. Hou hard, and her reaction was even more intense than Mrs. Hou's.
The Marquis staggered and stared at her, with his mouth open for a long time, unable to say a word. Finally, his vision went dark and he fell down.
The Hou Mansion was in complete chaos.
Inside the house, Jiang Yu heard everything that happened outside.
She grabbed the quilt, trembling all over, tears kept falling, and she murmured to herself.
"Impossible, impossible..."
She is a talented woman praised by the heavens. She is of noble birth, talented and beautiful. How could she not be able to compare with a little Jiang Lai?
Jiang Lai must have been talking nonsense in Tie Yi's ears, that's for sure.
She is used to slandering others, Tie Yi must have been deceived by her!
Jiang Yu had a very painful night, not only the pain on her body, but also the uneasiness and unwillingness in her heart. (End of chapter)
