Chapter 36 Elders are unkind
Qiu Heng's words were like thunder, exploding above Qiu Xuan's head one by one, making her mind go blank.
After a while, Qiu Xuan finally regained her composure, trembling her lips and asked: "Where did you get the news from Sixth Sister?"
Qiu Heng saw that Qiu Xuan's first reaction was not questioning, and was quite pleased: "I asked the imperial city envoy Xue Han, Lord Xue, to investigate..."
Imperial City Division - Qiu Xuan's face became even paler, and there was no luck anymore.
She sat there in a daze for a long time, then grabbed Qiu Heng's hand and asked: "Sixth sister, the cousin of Fourth Young Master Zhao... where is she settled?"
Qiu Heng gave an address.
Qiu Xuan firmly remembered it and smiled reluctantly at Qiu Heng: "Sixth sister, I can't greet you for the time being. I have to go to my mother's place."
"Second sister, go and do your work."
After Qiu Heng left, Qiu Xuan hurried to the second wife Lan's place.
Lan was looking through the account books.
We look good together. My daughter's marriage will be decided soon. After that, she will prepare for the wedding. There are many things to be busy with.
Following the maid's announcement, Qiu Xuan walked in.
"Why are Xuan'er here?" Lan put down the account book and looked at her daughter with a smile.
"My daughter has something to say to you alone."
Lan's family dismissed the maid.
"Mother!" Qiu Xuan pulled Lan's sleeves, tears falling down.
Lan was shocked: "What's going on?"
She knew that her daughter was the most stable and reserved, and it was rare for her to be like this.
The same was true. Lan's heart was beating fast, and the premonition was no small matter.
"The Fourth Young Master Zhao has a cousin whom he likes well, and she has a secret marriage. Mrs. Xipinghou rushed to marry her son in order to break up the two..."
Lan was frightened when she heard this, and asked in a deep voice: "Xuan'er, where did you get such secret information?"
"Sixth sister told me."
Lan was shocked: "Miss Six?"
"Well, Sixth Sister asked Mr. Xue from the Imperial City Division to investigate."
Lan was even more shocked: "Why did Miss Six ask the Imperial City Division to investigate this? How do she know Master Xue from the Imperial City Division?"
"Mom, what's important now is not these, it's my marriage to Mr. Zhao Si!" Qiu Xuan choked with sobs.
Lan raised her hand to stroke her forehead and calmed down: "Yes, the most important thing is this marriage."
They have met each other, and whether the marriage is confirmed or rejected, it is imminent.
"Now we still need to confirm whether this matter is true or not." Seeing Qiuxuan's lips moving slightly, Lan patted her hand, "It's not that I can't trust you Sixth Sister, but what can I tell you about the investigation Sixth Sister asked the Imperial City Division to investigate?" , you can tell your mother, but how can we tell your grandparents? It’s not good for your sixth sister.”
Qiu Xuan nodded.
"Where is Mr. Zhao Si's cousin settled?"
"Just..."
Lan asked all the questions he needed to ask and immediately arranged for someone to investigate. Maybe God opened his eyes, but there was news in just one day.
"It was a coincidence that the young man found the Zhuangzi accurately and saw the Fourth Young Master Zhao passing by..."
After hearing the report from the servant, Lan slapped the table and said: "It's too much to bully someone!"
Lan sent his servants to find Master Qiu Er to explain the situation.
Mr. Qiu Er looked troubled: "It really doesn't look like it, but my father is very satisfied with this marriage." Lan sneered: "This is Xuan'er's lifelong event. I don't dare to refuse, I will say it!"

In Qiansong Hall, the old lady was about to reply to the Xiping Hou Mansion when she was confused by Lan's words.
Mrs. Lan wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "My daughter-in-law is just a daughter of Xuan'er. Suddenly there is such a high-profile marriage, and the Fourth Young Master Zhao is provocative. He always feels uneasy, so he arranges for people to inquire. Unexpectedly, This investigation revealed such a scandal..."
The old lady's head was buzzing.
A good marriage suddenly turned sour?
"Fortunately, the marriage has not yet been consummated, so Xuan'er will not be pushed into the pit of fire."
The old lady frowned unconsciously: "But my uncle has already spoken and wants to make a deal with the Xiping Hou Mansion."
Lan secretly gritted his teeth, not daring to be disrespectful on his face: "Uncle doesn't know what's going on here yet, please talk to me about it——"
It was impossible for the old lady not to communicate with Uncle Yongqing about such a big matter, and she quickly called Uncle Yongqing back from outside.
After hearing this, Uncle Yongqing glanced at Mr. Qiu Er and Mr. Lan, his expressions were very calm: "It's just a young man's impulsiveness. Once you get married and have a bride, you will be more stable."
"Uncle, this is not as simple as impulse. That cousin is already pregnant!" Lan never dared to speak loudly in front of her father-in-law, but she couldn't help it now for the sake of her daughter.
Uncle Yongqing disagreed: "What influence can a shady foreign wife have? Besides, it's hard to say whether she can give birth to a child smoothly. Is it just because of this that you pushed forward the marriage to the Marquis of Xiping Mansion? Mrs. Lan, I have always thought that you are a man who can handle things clearly." , I didn’t expect to get confused about my daughter’s marriage. How many of these wealthy men only care about their wives?”
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"This is different from a concubine. The chaos before marriage caused the woman to have a dark knot, and the wife of the house concealed and cheated on the marriage... If Xuan'er married into such a family, it would be like entering a den of tigers and wolves..." Lan became more and more excited as she spoke.
Uncle Yongqing was furious when his daughter-in-law was so opposed to him: "Ms. Lan, are you going to disobey your parents-in-law?"
The old lady on the side glanced at Uncle Yongqing and curled her lips slightly.
Why are you disobeying your parents-in-law? Obviously the only one who is disobedient is this old guy. She doesn't like this marriage now.
She hopes that her granddaughters will marry into a high family, not a pit of fire.
Mrs. Lan knelt down on the ground and said, "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare. I just ask my uncle to understand my daughter-in-law's love for her daughter..."
"If you really think about your daughter, you should take a long-term view." Uncle Yongqing gave Mr. Qiu Er a hard look, "You just let your wife make trouble, are you planning to change someone?"
This is what it means to threaten to divorce your wife.
Lan's face was as pale as paper, and she risked her life: "Then divorce your daughter-in-law and let your daughter-in-law take Xuan'er home!"
Qiu Xuan, who was listening quietly outside, staggered in, knelt down beside Lan and hugged her, raised her head and cried to Uncle Yongqing: "Grandpa, my granddaughter is willing to marry, my granddaughter is willing to marry!"
Uncle Yongqing glanced at the mother and daughter who were hugging each other and cried, and said coldly to the old lady: "I will reply to the Xiping Marquis Mansion tomorrow to finalize the marriage!"
I really didn't expect that his uncle was still taking care of him, but a daughter-in-law would dare to disobey him.
In this comparison, the eldest daughter-in-law was indeed chosen well. Back then, the eldest girl went on a hunger strike so fiercely that the mother-in-law was not soft-hearted and foolish.
Mrs. Lan returned to her room, tears falling like rain: "Xuan'er, it's my mother who is incompetent. My mother is sorry for you..."
"No, my daughter is too greedy..."
Master Qiu Er could not face such a wife and daughter, so he silently went to the front yard.
The courtyard was quiet for a while, until the maid came in and reported: "Madam, Miss Six is here."
Mrs. Lan wiped her tears and managed to cheer up: "Miss Six, please sit down in the hall for a while."
After cleaning up, the mother and daughter went out to see Qiu Heng.
"Second uncle, second sister." Qiu Heng, who had been waiting for a while, greeted the two of them.
"What's the matter with Heng'er?"
Qiu Heng got straight to the point: "I heard about my grandfather's insistence on setting up this marriage for the second sister. My niece has an idea that may relieve the second sister's worries."
Happy New Year.
