Chapter 195: Qu wants to marry Luo'er back to the Qu family?
More importantly, his background and family background are really not good enough!
Even that bitch Cao Rouer brought up this matter several times to mock her, making Liu Qingzhu so angry that she wanted to tear her mouth apart!
Liu Qingzhu also felt extremely resentful towards the Liu family.
This group of useless ticks originally sent him to the General's Mansion just to suck his blood. Liu Qingzhu had long seen through this dirty and despicable family, and naturally did not want to submit to them and be used by them.
So, she was thinking of sending this family back to the mountains!
At this moment, facing this great thing arranged for her by Prince Yun, Liu Qingzhu felt very happy.
Her cheeks flushed and her eyes blurred as she looked at Prince Yun: "Your Highness..."
Luying was afraid of dirtying her eyes, so she retreated quickly.
Just as he closed the door, he heard Prince Yun say, "It's not dark yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
Liu Qingzhu: "Your Highness, if you don't come tonight, won't Zhu'er be left alone in her empty room again?"
"Your Highness, you are not alone now..."
"Zhu'er also wants to get pregnant with Your Highness's child as soon as possible, so that Your Highness can have more children and make up for what Zhu'er once owed Your Highness..."
A look of sarcasm and disgust flashed across Luying's face.
What a slutty bitch!
It was a pity that she still didn't understand that Prince Yun's refusal to touch her during the day was not because of self-discipline and restoration of propriety.
It was simply because he had already seen the ugly scars on Liu Qingzhu's waist and hips that had not yet faded!
Therefore, even when they had sex in the dark, Prince Yun turned off the lights.
It was because he actually hated it and didn't even want to look at the scars on her body that were left by him!
Luying was so sure because she had clearly seen through the gap in the window that Prince Yun had a look of disgust and disdain on his face.
But after all, he probably felt that it was still somewhat fresh, so he always had an obsession with Liu Qingzhu that was difficult to control.
They are a pair of really cheap people!
They deserve to be born a pair of bitches!
Sure enough, Prince Yun still rejected Liu Qingzhu's request for sex. After talking for a while, he left in a hurry.
Although Liu Qingzhu was very disappointed, she did not take it out on Luying.
In the blink of an eye, the lively New Year’s Eve and New Year are here.
Li Chaojing and Qu came to Jingci Hall early in the morning to pay their respects to Old Madam Pei. When they arrived, Li Qingluo was already there.
Li Chaojing glanced at the motionless Li Qingluo and, suppressing his anger, said to Madam Pei, "Mother, when Luo'er first returned home, there were many misunderstandings between our family. Her son and her mother did cause her some injustice."
"Now that everything is over, she and Liu Qingzhu have returned to their original positions. Let's get along well as a family from now on, okay?"
"My son and her mother really want to make it up to her."
"But this child still holds a deep grudge against me and her mother. It's fine if we don't see her on a regular basis, and we don't mind if she doesn't tell us about anything she does, but... we should all have a New Year's Eve dinner together as a family, and talk things over later, right?"
Qu looked at Li Qingluo with tenderness in her eyes.
"Luo'er, today is New Year's Eve. Would you like to have a good meal together with our family, including our parents, your brother, and of course, our mother-in-law?"
Li Qingluo: "I don't want to."
Li Chaojing: ...
Qu was also embarrassed for a moment, and her eyes turned red.
"Luo'er, you really still blame your mother..."
Li Chaojing gnashed his teeth and said, "Li Qingluo, don't push your luck—"
Li Qingluo: "Father and Mother are joking. It's not that I'm trying to spoil the fun, but there are so many people in the mansion now. After all, the second and third wives have returned. Even if I, who am already insignificant, am missing, it will definitely still be lively and bustling."
Until Mrs. Pei coughed lightly.
"okay!"
She glared at Li Chaojing and Qu.
"You two came to my Jingci Hall early in the morning to force Luo'er. Are you trying to cause trouble here?"
"Li Chaojing, do you want to treat Luo'er well, or do you want to act like a father? You're speaking in sarcastic and veiled terms. Do you think Luo'er is just some girl over there who will give in to your threats?"
"If you really want her to call you 'Daddy', treat her with all your heart! Otherwise, don't get in her way!"
"And you, Qu, you woke up with red eyes this morning. Who are you trying to show them to? Are you looking down on me because you didn't sleep well last night? Why are you trying to bring bad luck to my Jingci Hall during the New Year?"
After being scolded by Mrs. Pei, the two of them lowered their heads obediently.
Old Madam Pei gave the wicked couple a cold look, then looked at Li Qingluo again.
"Luo'er, you should accompany grandma to attend this family dinner tonight."
"After all, you are now the eldest daughter of our general's mansion, not some insignificant orphan. We can go together, grandparents and grandchildren. There's no need to feel that one is offensive to the other. Just eat and go!"
Since his grandmother had already spoken, Li Qingluo respectfully agreed.
She actually knew that she couldn't refuse this dinner tonight.
My grandmother came down the mountain in order to retake the general's mansion and regain control of the power of life and death in this family!
Now, my grandmother has intimidated everyone in the general's mansion again. As the most powerful person in the family, she naturally has to attend the New Year's Eve banquet.
How could Li Qingluo not accompany him at this moment?
She rejected Li Chaojing and his wife just to embarrass them.
Seeing them so angry, she felt refreshed.
The couple walked away with gloomy faces. Mrs. Pei poked Li Qingluo on the head and said helplessly, "You! Luo'er, they are willing to lower their dignity to coax you now, but you really don't want to get along with them?"
Li Qingluo: "Grandma, if Grandpa had been kind enough to comfort you, would you be willing to go home?"
Madam Pei tsk-tsks, "Does he deserve it? I've seen through him a long time ago. He's a selfish, treacherous bastard! But your father and mother... Oh! Never mind. Why should I say anything to you? Nothing can be forced."
Li Qingluo smiled and walked forward to hold Madam Pei's arm.
"Grandma, they're singing just for you. I don't believe they have any true feelings for me. Just wait and see."
Here, Li Chaojing and Qu Shi came to a fork in the road. He said in annoyance, "Look at the beautiful daughter you gave birth to! Humph!"
Then he turned directly to Liu Mian'er's yard, and seemed not to want to say another word to Qu.
Qu pinched her palms until the skin was broken and bleeding, and her face was pale and miserable.
"Now, he and I are so disgusted with each other? Ha, ha ha..."
Nanny Chang distressedly advised Qu: "Madam, please look at it more openly. You, you can't stop the master now... Alas!"
Qu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"He'll come back to me."
"Mammy, has there been another letter from my mother?"
Nanny Chang looked around with a vigilant look on her face: "Yes, I'll give it to you when we return to Chunzaitang."
Spring is in the hall.
Nanny Chang took out the letter and handed it to Qu, who quickly opened it and read it several times.
"My mother... wants Luo'er to marry Xun'er!"
Nanny Chang was surprised: "It's the eldest wife's second son, Silangxun!? Madam, this is a great marriage!"
Qu sighed.
"Yes, it is indeed a good match."
"Although Xun'er is the second son, he has always been better at school than Dalang. He is also well-proportioned, except for being a little short. Apart from that, his character is impeccable."
"She's polite and funny, friendly and considerate, and her room is spotless. I heard she doesn't even have a maid."
"And I heard that Xun'er will be taking part in the Spring Imperial Examination in the spring. If he passes, I'm afraid there will be even more people trying to propose to him. If we can arrange a marriage before he takes the exam, wouldn't Luo'er be getting a good deal?"
Nanny Chang became excited: "Big Miss, this is a good thing!"
Mrs. Qu sighed, "Xun'er is indeed an excellent young man, and since my uncle is now the Minister of Revenue, he is a perfect match for the General's Mansion."
"Given the current situation of our General's Mansion, if Xun Ge'er passes the imperial examination in the future, Luo'er will be considered to be marrying into a wealthy family."
Nanny Chang: "Madam, what are you worried about with such a good marriage? Are you worried that the old lady won't agree?"
Now, the marriage of the eldest daughter of the general's mansion cannot be interfered with by the biological parents, the lady and the master. So even if Qu has the intention, she must first follow the old lady's nod of consent.
Mrs. Qu: "I'm curious... why would their eldest wife agree to arrange this marriage for Xun'er and Luo'er?"
"Luo'er didn't grow up in Jinling, and she never accompanied me back to my mother's home. Even the eldest wife has never seen Luo'er."
"Our General's Mansion's reputation isn't great these days, and even the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion no longer mentions a marriage between our two families... Why would they agree? I originally thought Mother would talk about my brother's illegitimate son, Silang. I wasn't happy about it either. After all, Luo'er is my biological son, and I knew Mother-in-law wouldn't agree..."
"But I never thought it would be Xun'er from their eldest wife's house! I always felt that their eldest wife would have some strange plans..."
Nanny Chang: "Madam, please don't overthink it. Perhaps, although our General's Mansion has declined a bit, they value the eldest daughter more because she is now being personally raised by the old lady."
"Besides, we haven't even mentioned the marriage with the Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion yet. If the Qu family takes the initiative, and since he's the second son of the Minister of Revenue, the old lady might not necessarily refuse."
Mrs. Qu nodded: "Perhaps I am overthinking it. If this marriage can be completed, the master will definitely value the three of us mother and son again..."
"Hey, he wouldn't be so impatient with Luo'er all day long."
"Madam Chang, tell me, what evil has come to me?"
"Actually, deep down in my heart... I still can't help but think of Zhu'er sometimes. Even though she lied to us, she was really sweet to me in the past..."
Nanny Chang persuaded Qu for a long time.
Then they talked about the night banquet in the palace on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and everyone from the eldest branch of the Qu family had to go to the palace.
So she asked Qu to dress up Li Qingluo nicely that day so that the old lady, the wife and Xun'er from the main house could see Luo'er.
In this way, the eldest branch of the Qu family will have some peace of mind, and it depends on whether they can look down on her.
