Chapter 267 The Eldest Lady's Elbow Does Not Turn Inward

Qin Liuxi changed into another dress, holding red dates and millet porridge and sipping it gently, while asking Qihuang what was going on at home these days.

"Since you had an attack in the old lady's courtyard last time, those young ladies and young men have not dared to come over to your place for a walk. Even if they went to the garden, they would stay away from it." Qihuang shook his head and said: "There's nothing else going on. We're all living in peace and quiet. I'm just complaining about not having a good life."

Qin Liuxi just pretended not to hear it. In days like this, it was already much better than a real farmer's family, but the servants were not as good as before, with only one or two people.

They complained that their lives were not rich. They might as well go to those places and take a look. The wives of county magistrates in poor places had to wear cloth, wash their hands and cook soup. How could they have many servants at home like now?

"On the other hand, my aunt seems to have stopped working as a cook, and has found another one, but this one is for doing chores for others."

Qin Liuxi was surprised: "Why didn't you do it?"

Qihuang said: "I heard that my aunt was doing quite well in the kitchen. She helped cook a dish by chance and won a reward from a noble person. I called her to talk. Someone from the Ding family recognized her as a member of our family and said something. The store owner didn’t know whether he was afraid of the Ding family or causing trouble, so he fired her. "

It's the Ding family again.

Qin Liuxi frowned and said, "If I don't do it, I won't do it. The family is about to open a shop, so I can just ask her to help in the shop."

"My slave thinks so too."

Qin Liuxi had just finished his breakfast when Nanny Shen, who was next to Wang, came to invite her in person. She said that the old lady was angry and something was not good, so she asked her to come over and take a look.

Qihuang immediately took the small medicine box. Qin Liuxi didn't say anything when he saw this, and walked out. Aunt Shen followed her and told her the identity of the person and what he was doing. Why is my wife so angry?

No wonder Qin Mingchun knew that the other party was coming with bad intentions, and it turned out that he was here to break off the engagement.

Yes, the person who came was from the Wen family in Shengjing. He came to arrange for the marriage between her daughter and Qin Mingmu, the eldest young master of the Qin family. He said that the Wen family girl was seriously ill and had been sent to Jing'an Hall to recuperate. He did not want to delay Qin Mingmu and wanted to break off the engagement. .

"This serious illness is just an excuse. In fact, it is because the Qin family has failed and the family is not in the right family, and to avoid suspicion, that's why I broke off the engagement." Grandma Shen sighed.

After hearing this, Qin Liuxi said: "Since you understand it, why doesn't the old lady understand it? Why are you so angry? Marriage alliances are all about the good friends of the two surnames. The first thing to connect is the interests. Since the Qin family can't It is human nature for the other party to break off the engagement if it brings good benefits to the other party's family, why should the Qin family be angry..."

Seeing the way Aunt Shen looked at her, she coughed and said, "Just cancel the engagement. How old is the eldest young master? He doesn't know how many years it will take him to come back from exile, and it's impossible for him to really want a girl to guard him. "

Nanny Shen said softly: "That's what I said. It's just that the old lady felt that the Wen family's breaking off the engagement at this moment was a sign of disdain and adding insult to injury. She felt uncomfortable in her heart, and that's why she got angry."

"I have saved a bit of face by not breaking off the engagement in public on the day the Qin family was exiled." Qin Liuxi said lightly: "The old lady is wrong. As long as you compare your feelings and think about things in a different position, you will feel better." ”

Grandma Shen touched her nose and said, "There are also those who are truly loyal and loyal, and will never leave you without caring about their reputation."

"Of course there is. But in my opinion, most of those families are a little stupid. Just because of a chastity rule, they violate their own girls all the time. Even if the betrothed person is completely dead, they still want to marry someone who is a widower. This way This family is just sacrificing their women to help their own family, which is disgusting." Qin Liuxi snorted with disdain on his face.

Aunt Shen: "..."

Should she stop talking?

The eldest lady's elbow seems unlikely to reach her home.

"Mommy, do you know when the eldest brother was born?"

Grandma Shen hurriedly said: "Of course I know, back then..."

When Qin Liuxi came to the old lady's courtyard, he heard Mrs. Xie's sharp scoldings. She kept saying, "The Wen family's daughter is just like this. If the old lady is so angry and wants to give up, she must spread the word about Wen." The reputation of the family.

"The eldest lady is here."

Qin Liuxi entered the house and saw that several daughters-in-law of the Qin family were there, but the younger one was missing. Maybe they were not involved in such a thing.

There were two unfamiliar maids standing in the main room, one was a little overwhelmed, the other had an angry look on her face, but she was suppressing her anger.

"Second brother and sister, don't talk about it yet." Seeing Qin Liuxi coming, Mrs. Wang seemed to have seen a savior, and said quickly: "Xier, come and see Grandma You."

She asked Aunt Shen to come over to invite her, just as if it was a coincidence. After all, Qin Liuxi had not come to greet her in the past few days. She asked Qin Mingchun, and the answer was that the eldest sister was not there, and seemed to be in the Taoist temple.

So Wang didn't know when she would come back.

I didn’t expect that this invitation would actually come.

Qin Liuxi saw that Mrs. Qin's face was turning blue and she was breathing heavily, so he stepped forward and put his finger on her pulse. The pulse was rapid and chaotic, her chest was rising and falling too fast, her yin was deficient and her fire was strong, and her heart was filled with anger.

I was really pissed off.

Qin Liuxi withdrew his hand and did not perform any acupuncture. He just pressed Yin force on her tiger's mouth. The old lady suddenly felt sore. The pain was sour and numb. For a moment, she couldn't take care of her breath. He just stared at Qin Liuxi.

Qin Liuxi opened the medicine box, turned over the medicine bottles, took out one bottle, poured one into the old lady's mouth and held it in her mouth.

The action cannot be described as vulgar.

Old Mrs. Qin felt her anger rising again, and she was so angry at Qin Liuxi.

But after the medicine entered her throat, her heart slowly calmed down. She couldn't help but glance at the medicine bottle, but someone had already put it back in the medicine box and closed it.

Seeing that the old lady's breath had slowed down, Qin Liuxi looked at the two servants, his eyes lingered on their faces, and then he looked away.

"Are you here to break off the engagement?"

The two maids looked at each other, and the round-faced one asked with a smile: "Who is this?"

Mrs. Wang glanced at Aunt Shen, who took a step forward and introduced: "This is the eldest lady of our Qin family. She has been raised in the old house because of her health since she was a child."

When the round-faced servant girl heard this, she knelt down and saluted, and said: "I have seen the eldest lady. I came here on behalf of my master's family to return the engagement token left by the eldest son of your house..."

She repeated what Grandma Shen said again.

Ms. Xie sneered: "Why bother making such a high-sounding excuse to directly say that our Qin family is now in decline and we are sinners and are not worthy of you, the Wen family girl."

The long-faced maid with a forbearing expression said: "Second Madam, although the two families were engaged and exchanged tokens, they did not exchange the marriage certificate. Now that the two families are not getting along, it is normal to cancel the engagement..."

The round-faced maid pulled her: "From the Lu family, stop talking."

The servant girl named Lu's face was angry, but she still kept her mouth shut.

"Look, I'm right. If you don't like it, just say so..." Xie knew that what she had expected was right.

"They were right." Qin Liuxi suddenly said.
