“Yanfei, will this marriage really kill Qin? Could Hua Xi be a jinx?”
Wei Jiaoniang and Lu Qin grew up together. Their relationship could be said to be as close as sisters. This afternoon, Wei Jiaoniang’s heart was in a mess.
“It’s not that he’s jinxing his wife,” Gu Yanfei said faintly. “It’s just that Hua Xi is about to die.”
What?! Wei Jiaoniang was shocked. She almost jumped up from the bed and walked back and forth. “I’ll go back and tell my mother to persuade Second Madam Lu.”
Wei Jiaoniang had only been here for 10 minutes before she ran away like a gust of wind.
After returning to the residence, she quickly went to look for Imperial Duke Wei’s Madam and told her everything about Lu Qin. She thought that if her mother appeared, the Duke’s Mansion would have to take into account the face of the Duke’s Mansion.
Hence, Imperial Duke Wei’s Madam personally made a trip to Earl Chang’an’s Mansion early the next morning. Second Madam Lu treated her politely and promised that she would get someone to investigate the Hua family again.
After a polite and appropriate response, Second Madam Lu sent her trusted aide, Granny Yang, to send the wife of Imperial Duke Wei’s heir away. She said many nice things, but she never agreed to annul the engagement.
A moment later, Granny Yang returned alone to report. Second Madam Lu, who had endured it for so long, finally couldn’t help but complain, “Hmph, a little girl can make the wife of the duke’s heir come personally after saying two or three words.”
Granny Yang poured tea for Second Madam Lu at the side and echoed with a smile, “Of course. The future Third Young Master is Aunt’s family. He’s already a high scholar at a young age. How can he not be good?”
“How could I harm my own daughter!” Second Madam Lu slowly brushed the leaves off the teacup. “That’s my biological daughter!”
“A woman’s marriage is equivalent to a second reincarnation. 1 only have one daughter. Of course I want her to have a smooth life for the rest of her life.”
Granny Yang smiled and echoed, “Third Miss has always been on good terms with Fourth Young Master. If she knew that the Fourth Young Master had received such a good job, she would definitely be happy.”
At the thought of her son, the corners of Second Madam Lu’s lips curled up, and her eyes softened.
They were from the second branch, unlike the eldest branch, which had a bright future. All the good jobs for the earl were left to their son. Their second branch couldn’t even get any leftovers. Her son, Lu Shi, had only been living in the military department of the five cities for the past few years.
This time, the sister-in-law of her family had personally agreed to her. After the marriage was over, their Hua family would find a job for their son in the five military camps.
“There’s nothing bad about this marriage.” The more Second Madam Lu thought about this marriage, the more satisfied she was. “It’s best if Sister Qin can marry into her biological aunt’s family.”
Granny Yang smiled and flattered her again. She said what Second Madam Lu liked to hear.
In the end, she said, “Second Madam, don’t worry. Third Miss is young. She must be panicking because she’s getting married. That’s why she was deceived by Second Lady Gu and lost her mind.”
Second Madam Lu spat and sighed. “It’s my fault for being soft-hearted. I shouldn’t have agreed to let her go out with Wei Jiaoniang yesterday. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been such trouble!”
“Granny Yang, help me keep an eye on Sister Qin for the next two days. Let her at least sew a pair of socks. In two days, the Hua family will come to the small wedding.”
Initially, as a return gift, the woman should have made a set of clothes for the man. However, time was too tight, so Second Madam Lu could only settle for asking her daughter to sew a pair of socks.
Granny Yang could only agree. “Madam, don’t worry. Leave this to me.”
Just as Granny Yang was about to leave, a green-robed servant girl rushed in and reported anxiously, “Second Madam, Madam Hua and the matchmaker are here. They said they’re here to set a date..”
