Reborn girl from poor family

Chapter 218 Marriage can be decided by someone (2)

Qiu Nianyun's face turned pale for a moment, "Mom, what do you mean?"

Mrs. Qiu's hand placed under the table firmly held the square silk handkerchief, but she asked with a hard heart: "Just say it, are you willing?"

Qiu Nianyun's delicate face was stained with tears. After a long time, she finally trembled her lips and said, "My parents support me. I have nothing in return. My daughter...is willing."

Mrs. Qiu let out a long sigh, and the tears that she had held back for a long time could no longer be held back, and they came rolling in, "Silly boy, you are so affectionate, what should you do?!"

She stood up and hugged Qiu Nianyun into her arms, "How can my parents be willing to sacrifice you?"

Qiu Nianyun was in a daze and couldn't understand the meaning of the words, and was pulled by Mrs. Qiu to sit down in despair.

Mrs. Qiu looked sad, sighed again, and said, "Don't worry, your father is fine."

Qiu Nianyun looked at Mrs. Qiu with tears in her eyes, "But..."

But Mrs. Qiu looked really depressed.

Mrs. Qiu said: "The division of power between the Chief Military Officer of Water Transport and the Governor of Water Transport is originally the arrangement of the imperial court and is not something your father can control. The guarding eunuchs are also independent. Therefore, although Cao Kaihe's matter is big, it does not matter to your father.

, if the emperor blames him, the worst he can do is to demote him or transfer him to another position, so that he will not fall to the bottom like Linqing Uncle Mansion."

Qiu Nianyun breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

She wiped away her tears, came to her senses, and immediately said angrily: "Then why are you scaring me? I just gave you a cup of stew, and I didn't show up."

Mrs. Qiu said, "Isn't this what I am doing?"

Qiu Nianyun's face just showed grievance when Mrs. Qiu continued: "Your father came back specially just now and asked me to tell you these words, just because he was afraid that you would be confused at this juncture."

Qiu Nianyun said reluctantly: "You can tell me...my daughter listens."

Mrs. Qiu still felt sorry for her daughter. She also saw that her little face had lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and her eyes were faintly green. It was obvious that she had not had a good rest, so she didn't care anymore and said: "Your father said,

The wealth of our Qiu family will not be exchanged for our daughter's life. Your father and your brother will bear all the blessings and misfortunes, so just pamper your daughter."

Qiu Nianyun was so sad and then overjoyed that she couldn't help but burst into tears again. Unexpectedly, the second half of Mrs. Qiu's words immediately suppressed her tears——

"But no matter how coddled you are, you can't do whatever you want, you have to use your brain!"

"mother!"

"Don't interrupt, just listen to me!" Mrs. Qiu said with a stern face, "There are two other things that you should also know and listen carefully - first, today's edict has been issued and someone from Sima Supervisor will deliver it in person.

According to the imperial edict, Shen Huai was promoted to the third level and appointed as the Minister of the Right Temple of Dali Temple. He was given the sword Shang Fang and appointed as the Prime Minister of the Fifth Rank Temple of Dali Temple. He participated in the joint trial of the three divisions. Do you know what this means? "

Qiu Nianyun was not really ignorant. The rules of officialdom were also a required course for her. She was full of joy at the moment: "The emperor will not pursue Master Shen for shooting Uncle Linqing. Is Master Shen safe?"

"More than just safety? Your Majesty is using Lord Shen as a ruler to measure the justice and right and wrong here."

"Master Shen is really amazing..."

Qiu Nianyun's eyes sparkled, but Mrs. Qiu poured cold water on her, "It's so powerful, so now your father doesn't dare to make him unhappy, and I can no longer support your nonsense."

This sentence made Qiu Nianyun's eyes flash with stars. What did mother mean? Did she really want to block her path to falling in love with Shen Huai?

How could Mrs. Qiu not know what her daughter was thinking? But this child was too affectionate and pampered. If she didn't explain the pros and cons clearly, she would definitely not know the importance.

So Mrs. Qiu simply said: "There is also a third matter. Mr. Shen's father, Mr. Shen -"

At this point, she paused. According to Shen Huai's age, Shen's father was only in his thirties. It was a bit awkward to call him "Sir", but it seemed wrong not to call him that. Oh, my child Being successful as a young man is not all about Coca-Cola.

Mrs. Qiu retracted her distraction sourly, and continued: "Mr. Shen and his wife are here for a visit. They are already on the way. A few months ago, I went to Beijing to send a letter to the Shen Mansion. This time, Mrs. Shen made a special trip to deliver it. News about the itinerary came over.”

Qiu Nianyun was already a little dizzy. What did my mother mean by this?

At one moment he warned her, and at the next he told her that he had arranged to marry Shen Huai on her behalf.

She held her breath and looked at her mother, waiting for the answer.

Mrs. Qiu did not continue to whet her appetite, "What your father meant is that the relationship between the Shen family and his son seems to be a bit strange. Shen Huai probably is not someone who can listen to his father's instructions, so he specially told us to be more careful."

Qiu Nianyun asked: "What's the trick?"

"I've told you so much before, don't you understand?" Mrs. Qiu said helplessly: "Now Shen Huai can't afford to offend him, and he lives in our house. In addition, Shen Huai treats Su Ya very differently. I think it's because I am deeply in love with her. Young people are full of energy and unruly. Your father wants you to calm down and wait and see what happens next!"

Qiu Nianyun said anxiously: "But Mrs. Shen specially sent the itinerary news. It was obviously intentional, but you didn't discuss the kiss?"

"Whether we discuss it or not, we have to find the right person to discuss it with."

Mrs. Qiu almost made every pore sigh. Could Shen Huai, such a good son-in-law, just want to let him go?

Aren’t situations stronger than people?

"You are so happy that you never hide it. You have come close to me several times. Do you understand his response?"

"I..." Qiu Nianyun said, she is really a dear mother, she can't help but lift any pot.

Mrs. Qiu made the final decision, "Anyway, just be calm and don't go any further."

The Qiu family had made arrangements here, and Mrs. Qiu had even started to tidy up the house in preparation for the reception. Unexpectedly, Xu Yuan came over in the evening and expressed that Shen Huai would move out of the Cadu Mansion tomorrow and go home to recuperate.

Mrs. Qiu was a little embarrassed. She didn't know if it was because of her daughter's cup of stew that she was avoiding suspicion. She asked with a forced smile: "But the servant didn't serve you well and neglected Master Shen?"

Xu Yuan cupped his hands and said: "Mrs. Qiu, don't think too much. The governor's house is very considerate to my family. It's just that my family said that the governor is busy with official duties. It's really inappropriate for us to occupy the outer courtyard and interfere with the work. And with his body It can’t be cured in a day or two, so it’s better to go home.”

The reason was impeccable, but Mrs. Qiu could only say: "Governor Cao has not returned home yet. I will talk to him when he comes back."

Xu Yuan smiled, bowed, and exited politely.

Qiu Nianyun came out of the inner room with red eyes, "Mom, is he the one who annoyed me with the stew?"

Mrs. Qiu sighed, "How do you know? But everything they say makes sense."

Qiu Naicheng returned home at night. After hearing about this, he went straight to the outer courtyard, but Shen Huai was already asleep.

Xu Yuan still received him respectfully, and repeated what he had said to Mrs. Qiu before, and finally emphasized: "My young master owes much to Cao Du's kindness. If Cao Du had not rushed to the rescue on White Horse Lake, it would have been even more dangerous. Mr. He said: Everything is in the heart."

After listening to the words, Qiu Naicheng put down many distracting thoughts in his heart. He called Zhang Shenmu and Liu Sandian, asked about Shen Huai's injury with concern, and repeatedly told him to do his best, "If you need anything, go to Caodu at any time." Come and get it from the house."

The status has been restored and I slowly try to resume updating twice a day.

Thank you to my friends who still voted and recommended me without giving up during this period of slack. I am grateful.
