Chu Yunli hadn't gone out for so long, and she thought the world was too restrictive for women. She didn't expect to find out until she went out that the rules of the Yuan family were extremely strict, and girls from rich families could be seen everywhere on the street.
The two of them went on a trip and got along well with each other. Qi Feng bought several sets of jewelry for her. It is worth mentioning that he didn't ask the price for anything, and he had the courage to spend a lot of money for his fiancée.
"What exactly does your family do?"
On the way back, Chu Yunli couldn't help but ask.
Qi Feng coughed and said, "My family is farming."
Chu Yunli: "..."
The same answer, given by Qi's father, is particularly convincing, but when he says it this way, it doesn't look like it.
"My house just has more land."
Chu Yunli stopped asking and looked at the door of Yuan's house, "Will you always live here?"
Qi Feng tentatively said, "Let's get married first, and then move back to Liangzhou Mansion. If you are willing, we can come back and live here for a few months every year, okay?"
It doesn't matter where he lives, the main thing is that Chu Yunli likes to settle things and then live his life in peace. Besides, Liu Yuehe doesn't agree to let those people live for a long time.
Not long after returning to the yard, Rong Piao arrived. Seeing the jewelry on the table, she became happier and happier. "It's good. You will live well in the future, and I feel relieved. He seems to have said that he won't take concubines?"
"However, you can't believe all this man's words. If the day comes, don't make trouble and behave better, you will be more pitiful."
Chu Yunli was speechless. Rong Piao might think that what he said would be helpful to her daughter in the future, but it was Chu Yunli who was sitting here and she didn't need her guidance. "I'm a little tired after shopping for a long time."
Rong Piaozhi said, "Then I'll go back. If you need anything, come see me again."
After she left, Huang Lian hurried over and said, "Girl, my godmother is the servant of the palace. When I went to the eldest master's yard today, I saw Xiaolian..."
Chu Yunli was not surprised.
I just didn't expect that marriage would never happen in this life, but Xiaolian got her wish.
After changing clothes, Chu Yunli went to Ronghe Garden to say hello, mainly to report to his elders that he would come back safely after going out.
After coming here for a long time, Chu Yunli rarely went to Rongheyuan outside of greetings in the morning. I had heard that the old lady had the habit of taking a nap for fear of noise. Not to mention outsiders, even the Gu family and her daughter would not stay.
here.
Originally, she planned that if the old lady was taking a nap, she would just tell the woman in charge and file the report.
When the mother-in-law outside Ronghe Garden saw her, she only saluted and did not stop her.
Chu Yunli was a little surprised. Since she didn't stop her, it proved that the old lady didn't take a nap today.
As soon as I walked outside the main room, I heard Gu's sharp voice coming from inside, "Is it so easy to decide a girl's marriage here? It's already decided, how can there be any reason to back out?"
"Ming people don't tell secrets. I asked Liu Yuehe to marry into the Qi family to make her suffer and make Rong Piao feel uncomfortable. Now it's better, I have helped her. What I hate most in my life is their mother and daughter... This
Since the marriage started because of me, it is up to me to back off." Madam Hu's voice was calm.
Mrs. Gu was very angry, "If you cancel yours, what does it have to do with Huiru? This marriage is already scheduled and then canceled, which will damage the reputation of the girl's family. Don't you know?"
Compared with her anger, Mrs. Hu's tone was much calmer, "Her marriage was bought by Liu Yuehe! This is the condition the old lady exchanged with me. Now she can't do it, and I don't want my son to be so rich for no reason."
concubine!"
Based on these, Chu Yunli guessed the whole story.
It was Mrs. Hu who asked her to marry into the Qi family. The old lady took this opportunity to ask Zhang Huijing to be Yuan Yibin's concubine, and Mrs. Hu agreed.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hu would not hesitate to hook up with her son in order to cause trouble for Rong Piao. Of course, for Yuan Yibin, having another concubine named Zhang Huizhen would not have much impact on him.
Chu Yunli shook his head. These women were locked up in the house all day long, and there was nothing else on their minds except to cause trouble for others.
She intensified her footsteps at the right time, and the people inside stopped talking when they heard the movement, "Grandma, I'm back."
The old lady hummed and asked, "How do you two get along? Did Qi Feng give you a gift?"
She was not looking for a gift, but whether or not to give something. Whatever she gave was related to the Qi family's attitude towards the fiancée.
Chu Yunli said calmly, "I bought three sets of jewelry."
Mrs. Hu sneered, "My eyelids are so shallow, I'm afraid people will laugh out loud."
Facing Mr. Hu, especially when he heard that she wanted to stop the marriage, Chu Yunli was not polite and asked, "My fiancé gave me something, how can I be considered short-sighted?"
"Fiancé?" Mrs. Hu glanced at her disdainfully, "She won't be anymore soon."
The old lady picked up the tea cup and drank tea, without any intention of stopping their noise.
Chu Yunli finished reporting and was about to leave, saying, "I know you don't want to see me, but it's better not to talk nonsense about what didn't happen."
Mrs. Hu didn't believe it, "Do you really think you are the only one who can control the Qi family? Just wait and cry with your mother!"
Her tone was firm and quite capable of bluffing people.
Whether the Qi family retreats or not has nothing to do with whether they win or lose in their quarrel. Chu Yunli will not quarrel with a woman like Hu. She has been asking for nothing for more than ten years, and her brain is no longer normal.
Trying to give your son a concubine while also making his enemies feel uncomfortable is not something that ordinary people can do.
Before leaving, Chu Yunli said generously, "I would like to thank my aunt for allowing me to become associated with the Qi family."
"You!" Madam Hu was furious, "Even if Qi Feng falls in love with you at first sight, I don't believe he can tolerate you secretly interacting with other men."
The old lady who had been silent before asked sharply, "With whom?"
Mrs. Hu sneered, "Yibin came back every three days, not only to see the elders, but also to see her! Both mother and daughter are the same vixen, and they are the best at seducing men."
Mrs. Gu lowered her head.
The old lady was very angry and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. They are brother and sister, and now they are married. It will not be good for anyone if you mention this again."
"Old lady, no matter how unhappy you are, these things did happen." Mrs. Hu said with a smile on her face, "This is also Rong Piao's plan. If my son admires her so much that he won't marry her,
It's impossible to recognize your ancestor and return to your clan. Unfortunately, my son is not that stupid and didn't fall into the trap, hahahaha..."
She laughed, a little crazy.
"We are not secretly communicating." Chu Yunli looked puzzled, "Auntie, I heard that some people are too obsessed and will imagine things that have not happened in their minds. This... is epilepsy.
, you'd better find a doctor to take a look."
Gu couldn't help but curl up the corner of her mouth.
The old lady had never suspected that there was something going on between her grandson and Liu Yuehe. Now when she heard Chu Yunli's words, she looked at Mrs. Hu suspiciously and was shocked when she saw the look of madness in her eyebrows.
Could it be... really crazy?
Mrs. Hu laughed angrily, "Do you want to say that I'm crazy?"
Chu Yunli was surprised, "I'm not a doctor, and what I say doesn't count. It's just a suggestion. If Auntie wants to hear it, she can listen to it, and if she doesn't, she won't push her away. I have something else to do, so I'll take the first step."
She ran out the door in a few steps and was soon out of the yard.
In the next two days, for some reason, someone in the house was talking about Mrs. Hu going crazy, saying that what she said was all made up by her own imagination and could not be believed.
Chu Yunli didn't do anything unnecessary, so it was probably Gu who did it.
In the afternoon, when she got up from her nap, there was a little girl outside asking to see her, claiming to be sent by Rong Piao.
Unexpectedly, after the little girl came in, she said directly, "The young master said that he wants you to go to Taolin to see me. If you don't go, you will definitely regret it."
regret?
Chu Yunli got up, took only licorice, and went directly to Taolin.
It is spring now, and the Yuan family's peach grove is blooming earlier than outside. You can smell the fragrance even before you get close, and the pink petals are spreading. In terms of pure scenery, it is really good.
It's a pity that there is an annoying person in the beautiful scenery.
Entering the forest, Chu Yunli saw Yuan Yibin dressed in white under the peach blossom tree. He did not look back, and said in a soft voice, "Yue He, remember the time we met, it was the Peach Blossom Banquet. It was exactly two years ago."
Chu Yunli felt a little irritated. If this man was sincere to Liu Yuehe, she could still barely listen to his emotions, but even if the man who covered Liu Yuehe to death with his own hands had feelings for her, his feelings were very limited.
"What do you want from me?"
Yuan Yibin still didn't look back, "Please withdraw from the Qi family's marriage!"
"Why?" Chu Yunli leaned against the peach tree.
Yuan Yibin's voice turned cold, "Are you disobedient? I'll give you two choices. One is to be smart and retreat on your own, or the other is that I send Xiaolian directly to the Qi family and let them retreat."
It is impossible to cancel an engagement.
Even if Xiaolian is sent to the Qi family, Qi Feng will not break off the engagement.
Chu Yunli asked curiously, "Where is Xiaolian? Did you bring it?"
"Of course." Yuan Yibin clapped his hands, "I have to make you give up."
Xiao Lian, dressed in pink clothes with her hair in a woman's bun, walked slowly from the depths of the peach forest and said with a slight smile, "Girl."
Chu Yunli touched her chin, "You want to be a concubine?"
Xiaolian lowered her head, "Girl, you don't need me anyway. I will..."
Chu Yunli interrupted her, "So, he asked you to go to Qi's house, are you willing?"
Xiaolian remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.
"We grew up together. In fact, I have thought about my arrangements for you." Chu Yunli looked at Yuan Yibin, "Since you want to be my enemy, I won't be polite. I still have your contract of betrayal."
In your hands, I will find Yapo when I turn around, you can take care of yourself."
Xiaolian's complexion changed drastically.
Yuan Yibin frowned, "I'll buy her!"
Chu Yunli sneered, "If you want to buy it, do I have to sell it to you? Who do you think you are?"
