At that time, he thought that Ning Wei cared about others, and he wanted to give her her freedom.
Of course, he couldn't say this to his father.
Seeing that he didn't reply, Mr. Hou continued: "It's not that we don't recognize this engagement, it's Mrs. Qian who came to cancel it in person. We should respect Teacher Qian's wishes.
Furthermore, Brother Le, you should understand your mother-in-law’s thoughts.
When your mother found out about this engagement, she was so worried that she couldn't sleep well all night long.
It's not worth it for your mother to worry about you.
In your mother's opinion, you should have a better marriage. You know this."
The Marquis' voice softened a lot, trying to persuade Shi Jingyang.
Shi Jingyang leaned forward and said: "The son understands, and the father can rest assured that the son will explain to the mother. From the son's point of view, as a man, keeping your word is more important than anything else."
The Marquis looked at his stubborn son and was speechless for a moment.
After a while, the Marquis said: "I will go to the palace first to meet the Holy Spirit. We will discuss your marriage later. You can think about it carefully."
Shi Jingyang bowed and responded, "Yes, my son understands."
Shi Jingyang came out of Lanyuan, got in the car and went to Sanpinxuan.
In the flower hall of Qi Mansion, Zhao Yongxin saw Qi Haining, took Fang's hand and whispered coquettishly: "Auntie, sister-in-law is here. Can you let sister-in-law take Xin'er and sister to look for palm beads and play with them?"
Mrs. Fang had this intention and said softly: "Okay, I'll tell Qi Haining and let her take you there."
"Mom, Lan'er, Xin'er, when did you arrive? Have you had breakfast? If not, my wife will ask someone to serve you a meal." Qi Haining greeted Fang with a smile.
Fang held Zhao Yongxin's hand in hers and said to Qi Haining: "Don't bother, we had breakfast at home and went out.
Xin'er and Lan'er said they haven't seen the palm bead for a long time and they want to go look for it and talk. You can take them there."
Qi Haining sighed secretly and was just thinking about how to fend off Fang's request.
Fang then spoke, without giving Qi Haining a chance to speak.
"I just met Mrs. Qi in the hall. Mrs. Qi said that Zhangzhu is in Biyun Pavilion at the moment. If you are busy, ask Xinyue to take Lan'er and Xin'er there."
Seeing that he couldn't stop her, Qi Haining could only smile and said: "My wife will be fine right now. My wife, please take Lan'er and Xin'er over."
Seeing Qi Haining agree, Mrs. Fang's face softened a lot, and she warned in a gentle voice: "Zhangzhu must be very sad that the old lady has left. Lan'er Xin'er, please stay with Zhangzhu and talk to her."
Zhao Yongxin happily agreed, "Yes, my daughter has taken note of it. Mother, my daughter has gone."
Mrs. Qi patted Zhao Yongxin's hand and said, "Go and take good care of Lan'er."
"Yes, my daughter understands. Sister-in-law, let's go."
Zhao Yongxin took out his hand from Fang's hand, took Qi Haining's hand, and pulled Qi Haining out.
When Jiang Xingyu received the servant's report, he immediately jumped to his feet, looked around, turned around, walked to the soft couch and sat down.
Jiang Xingyu was just about to ask his servants to tell the two young ladies of the Zhao family that I stayed awake last night and didn't take a good rest. As soon as I took a rest, I saw my cousin Qi Haining and the Zhao sisters coming to the door.
Jiang Xingyu could only say: "I understand, you can go down."
If a servant leans down, he should step back.
Ning Wei turned to the door and did not see Qi Haining and others outside the door.
She looked at Jiang Xingyu with confusion on her face. Before she could ask a question, Zhao Yongxin's voice sounded at the door.
"Zhangzhu, long time no see, are you okay?"
Zhao Yongxin's exaggerated voice made Ning Wei feel uncomfortable, and she suddenly understood why Jiang Xingyu sat on the soft couch.
After a while, Jiang Xingyu also collected his emotions, with a decent smile on his face, and nodded slightly to Zhao Yongxin, "Sister Xin is here, sit here. Come, serve tea."
Zhao Yongxin turned around and saw Ning Wei, and asked in surprise: "My cousin is also here in Zhangzhu? When did my cousin arrive?"
Ning Wei was speechless. She was standing in the room like a living person, and Zhao Yongxin didn't even see her.
Ning Wei smiled and said calmly: "I just arrived a while ago."
Over there, Qi Haining walked to Jiang Xingyu and said softly: "Zhangzhu, I'm sorry."
Jiang Xingyu shook his head slightly, "Nothing, they like Biyun Pavilion, my cousin just brought them here."
Zhao Yongxin pulled Zhao Yonglan to sit opposite Ning Wei, looked around, and praised: "Zhangzhu's courtyard is so elegantly decorated and pleasing to the eye."
Jiang Xingyu smiled, then looked around and said, "Sister Xin has great vision. My cousin arranged this yard for me.
Cousin, time flies so fast. When you decorated this yard for me, you were still in your boudoir. In the blink of an eye, three years have passed."
Qi Haining followed and looked around, "Yes, time flies so fast."
Zhao Yongxin was just thinking about how to change the topic when a maid came in and said: "Miss Cousin, eldest lady, the old lady of the Chengguo Palace, the Crown Prince's wife has come over.
The madam asked the servant to come over and invite the young lady. The young lady will go over to greet the old lady and the prince’s wife.”
Zhao Yongxin's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that the old lady of Chengguo Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Shizi, had come over.
Looking at Qi Haining, he asked: "Sister-in-law, can I go with you to pay my respects to the Duke's wife and the Crown Prince's wife?"
Zhao Yongxin's words stunned everyone in the room.
Zhao Yonglan said timidly: "Sister Xin, isn't this good? Let's sit in the flower hall and wait for my sister-in-law and the others."
Zhao Yongxin turned around and glared at Zhao Yonglan.
Zhao Yonglan immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.
Qi Haining looked at Zhao Yongxin and felt a terrible headache.
If she doesn't take her there, and Zhao Yongxin complains to her mother-in-law later, her mother-in-law will definitely scold her and say that she doesn't treat them as family.
If she took her there, she would be worried that Zhao Yongxin would not speak appropriately in such an occasion.
Ning Wei was also having a headache at the moment, and Ning Wei was extremely reluctant to deal with people from the Chengguo Palace.
She wanted to stay in Biyun Pavilion to read and wait for Jiang Xingyu.
Zhao Yongxin and Zhao Yonglan went to see the people from Chengguo Palace, but if she didn't go, others would know about it and say she didn't know etiquette.
Seeing that Qi Haining did not respond, Zhao Yongxin said with a disappointed face: "Sister-in-law, do you dislike me and my sister? Are you unwilling to take me and my sister to meet the Duke's wife and the Crown Prince's wife?
Everyone says that the old lady of Duke Chengguo's residence is kind and gentle, and the prince's wife is graceful and graceful. It would be a great blessing for Xin'er if she could pay a visit to these two noble men."
Jiang Xingyu said, "Sister Xin, don't look pitiful. My cousin didn't say she wouldn't take you with her."
After listening to Jiang Xingyu's words, Zhao Yongxin raised his head and looked at Qi Haining, "Sister-in-law, is it true? You took me and my sister there, right?"
What else could Qi Haining say?
He could only nod his head and said: "Okay, let's go together.
However, the Duke’s wife and the crown prince’s wife are both distinguished nobles. In front of these nobles, you are not allowed to say anything other than greetings. Do you understand?”
