Mrs. Li was so angry at Rongshou Hall that she returned to her yard angrily. Wei Qingyu thought about it and followed her in.

He personally held a cup of tea, handed it to Mrs. Li and said, "Mother, please calm down."

Mrs. Li drank a cup of herbal tea in one breath and then cursed: "That old woman is also a shameless person. If my husband and I hadn't sent someone to pick her up, I'm afraid she would have ended up in that poor and miserable place.

After living her whole life, why should she?"

"She relies on her eldest brother." Wei Qingyu's eyes flashed slightly. Wei Che's early return also made her feel a strong sense of crisis. After all, Wei Che is the Marquis of Weiyuan, and besides, in

Northwest has experience and is not as easy to fool as Wei Qingluan.

Wei Qingyu's words reminded Li, and she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, you are right. In the past, that old woman was good at avoiding harm, but today she tried her best to suppress me, and defended Wei Qingluan several times.

Xiao Jianren must have seen Wei Che rising up step by step and thinking about getting on the big ship of Dafang."

"Mom, ask dad to talk to eldest brother. My daughter still respects and trusts eldest brother when she sees him. Ask dad to tell eldest brother that we are his blood relatives." Wei Qingyu said.

Pulling on Mrs. Li's sleeve, she said, "Old lady, she is always the step-mother, but there are not many good step-wives."

"Don't worry, you don't need to tell me this. Your father knows it very well." Mrs. Li still knows her husband very well. If Wei Yanhuai wants to figure it out, the only thing Wei Che can rely on is family affection. "These days, what are you doing?"

I have taken a liking to Yuan'er, and I won't allow her to treat Wei Qingluan, that little Jianren, like she did before. Even if she pretends, she has to pretend to be harmonious to me. The most important thing in Wei Che's heart is that little Jianren, who knows that we are good to her.

, he will be good to us."

"Mom, my sister knows the importance of things. Didn't you quarrel with her today?" Wei Qingyu sat down next to Li, "Mom, I don't want to move out of Weiyuan Hou Mansion."

Mrs. Li consoled her, "If we don't move, we won't mention it, and Wei Che won't be able to chase us away."

"But the eldest brother is getting married soon. When the Liu family's wife comes in, my mother's middle child will have to be handed over. What will we do then?" Everything about the food and clothing used since moving into the house is of the highest quality.

Okay, if she goes back to the miserable life before, she will go crazy.

"I heard that the eldest girl of the Liu family is also very powerful. Because she is married to her eldest brother, she has been learning how to take care of the inner courtyard since she was twelve years old. She has taken care of the Liu family in an orderly manner. Mom, what do you think of her?

Will you check the account books, and what should you do if you find out the problem?" Wei Qingyu knew very well that in the past three years, Li had embezzled a lot of money by taking advantage of the boss, and it would not be good if this matter was found out.

"So, we can't let this marriage happen." Li said harshly.

"But this marriage was decided by my uncle and aunt before they were alive. How could it be ruined so casually?"

"Yeah, it's not easy to ruin a marriage, but it's okay to let it go through twists and turns. I heard that the Liu family is a scholarly family. There is only one direct wife in Mr. Liu's backyard, Mrs. Liu, and half of the concubines are missing. I guess the girl from the Liu family is

Growing up in such a family environment, I hate concubines the most. If Wei Che can be given a concubine before getting married, I am afraid that the Liu family will not be able to swallow this breath." The first wife is not married, so she has a concubine first.

This is extremely taboo in aristocratic families. You must know that not distinguishing between legitimate children and concubines is the root of chaos in the family.

Wei Qingyu rolled her eyes and said: "What mother said is that even if Miss Liu marries in, she will be disappointed with the eldest brother. As long as they are not of the same mind as husband and wife, we will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. It's just the choice of this concubine.

It’s time to make a good choice.”

"Isn't there a ready candidate?" Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows in the direction of Wei Qingyu's courtyard.

"Mom is talking about Cousin Qin." Wei Qingyu really deserves to be the one who crawled out of Li's belly. She can understand what she is thinking with just one look, "But will Cousin Qin be willing? She is not particularly beautiful.

, will big brother like it?"

Li's grandfather also served as an official in Shangjing, but the Li family probably didn't have a good position in the ancestral tomb, so no one else came out after that. Li's father was considered a good member of the Li family, and he passed the exam, and she

Several of her brothers could not even pass the scholar examination, and among the married women, only the Li family had a better life. Especially after she took charge of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, the Li family also received a lot of benefits. Therefore, her family

That snobbish sister-in-law sent her a pair of children and wanted her to help plan a good marriage.

This Beijing was full of noble people, and they were well-matched in marriage matters. With Li Qin's family status, what could be said about a good marriage? Li Shi curled her lips and secretly thought that Wei Che was also a marquis, and being his concubine was better than those of the little ones.

The official wives of petty officials are much more respectable.

Mrs. Li wholeheartedly despised her sister-in-law's behavior of climbing high branches, but she didn't want to think about the fact that she had tried so hard to find a good marriage for Wei Ling and Wei Qingyu. Well, maybe in her heart, she was a member of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

The "acting" mistress must have a much higher status than her brother and sister-in-law.

"Wei Zi, go call your cousin over and tell her that I want to talk to her." Mrs. Li ordered to the maid standing beside her.

Li Qin came very quickly, holding a box of rouge in his hand. He saluted Mrs. Li and then said: "Auntie, this is the rouge that my brother got from outside. Qin'er saw that the color is extremely pure and suits auntie."

If you use it, your skin tone will look ten years younger."

Li Qin was indeed good at coaxing people. Whenever he gave people some worthless little things, he would talk about them as if they were in the sky and on the earth, making people feel dizzy.

Mrs. Li happily took it and said cheerfully: "Qin'er still knows how to love people."

Wei Qingyu looked on with a smile, not jealous at all about the intimacy between Li and Li Qin. Anyway, no matter how Li Qin tried to please her, he couldn't compare to her biological daughter, and Li Qin was trying to please their whole family.

The look made her feel a sense of superiority from the bottom of her heart.

"Mom, if you like cousin Qin'er so much, why not just keep her by your side." Qingyu said again.

"Okay, Qin'er, what do you think of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion?" Mrs. Li took Li Qin's hand and asked.

Li Qin's heart skipped a beat. She knew that her aunt was very vain, so from the moment they arrived in Beijing, she had been following Li's lead and tried every means to please the sisters Wei Qingyu and Wei Qingyuan, just for the sake of

Give yourself a future.

"The Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is naturally excellent." Li Qin said. The Li family has become more and more depressed in recent years, so since Li Qin moved into the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, he felt as if he had entered a honeypot.

, she never thought that her aunt was so powerful, holding such a large palace in her own hands. Compared with the luxurious life of the Wei Qingyu sisters, her previous life was like a beggar, and this Weiyuan Marquis Mansion

She was reluctant to leave.

"We, Che'er, are only twenty-two years old this year. We have already made great achievements at a young age. We can be regarded as young heroes." Li changed the subject and brought the topic to Wei Che.

Li Qin felt that her heartbeat was getting stronger and stronger. She had already vaguely guessed what Li was going to say. Although she had never met Wei Che, his name had been spread in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion in the past two days. Those who captured Keshe

The deeds of King Er Han have been compiled into stories one after another.

It is not a girl who is not pregnant, not to mention that Li Qin is already seventeen years old. Most girls of this age are already married, but she has not found a place yet. Her mother asked her to accompany her brother to Beijing in order to take advantage of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

She has many connections, but Weiyuan Marquis Wei Che is something she can’t even imagine. Can she really do it?

Li Qin lowered his head slightly, his heart ready to move.

"Qin'er, your father and mother asked me to find a good match for you, but my aunt didn't hide it from you. It's hard to find such a good match. The Li family is said to be a scholarly family, but now there is no one.

People who can support their family status, not to mention being easy to get married with, may not be favored by even the sixth or seventh grade petty officials." Mrs. Li stared at Li Qin, she knew this niece, she was clever.

, great wisdom but no one, who only looks at the high school, but is very good at handling things. After all, such people are easy to control.

When Li Qin heard Li's words, she clenched her hands subconsciously, with a trace of embarrassment on her face.

"Did you come to Beijing just for the poor life of buying firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and having to worry about every expense? Look at the brocade skirt you are wearing, I am afraid you will never be able to afford it again in your lifetime." Li asked

road.

Li Qin's face turned slightly pale, he stood up and said to Li Fuli: "Aunt, please take pity on Qin'er."

"Get up, I'm your aunt, can I not think about you?" Mrs. Li helped Li Qin up and said, "As long as you listen to me, I will definitely find a good home for you."

*****************

In the evening, the lamps were lit in Lingxiao Pavilion, and the maids were coming in and out to prepare. Mrs. Li was personally directing, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Qingluan changed into a pink double-breasted jacket and paired it with a moonlight skirt, which looked very fresh and cute.

"Go to the second gate and ask if your brother is back?"

Qiao'er hurriedly responded and came back after a while, "The Marquis has come back. When I came back just now, I met Sister Dongxue and said that the Marquis went to the ancestral hall alone."

Qingluan's mind changed slightly. She had completely forgotten her parents overnight. The pain her brother suffered was far more profound than hers. She felt a little worried and stood up and said, "I'm going to see him. You don't have to come."

"

Qingluan hurriedly went to the ancestral hall. When he got there, he saw that the door was open, but the woman guarding the door was not there. She must have been sent away by her brother. Qingluan hesitated to go in and take a look. His brother would

When a person comes to the ancestral hall alone, he must not want others to see his weakness.

Qingluan still remembers that in front of his parents' mourning hall, his brother didn't shed a single tear. He stored up all the pain in his heart. After the funeral, he was sick for two months. At that time, she was very sick.

Afraid, afraid that her only relative would leave her, regardless of whether she could take care of him, she insisted on staying at his bedside. Probably seeing her fear, her brother made a promise to her, saying that he

It will definitely get better, and sure enough, the lingering illness gradually got better after that.

When he thought of this, Qingluan walked in quickly.

The big trees in the yard blocked the last ray of sunlight, but candles were lit in the ancestral hall.

The door of the ancestral hall was not wide open, leaving a gap for one person to pass through. Qingluan subconsciously slowed down her steps. She saw her brother kneeling in front of the memorial tablet. His shoulders were very generous, but in the cold ancestral hall

But it seemed lonely.

Qingluan was about to go in to accompany his brother, but he heard him say: "Father, mother, I will protect Luan'er well, you don't have to worry."

Qingluan's heart warmed, and he stopped walking. Hearing Wei Che's change of subject, his tone suddenly became sharp, "Father, mother, don't worry, I won't let those who kill you have an easy time."

, I will definitely find them and avenge you."

Qingluan's head banged. What did she hear? Her parents died not of an accident but of suicide? Someone specifically wanted their lives? Who could it be? Was it the second uncle? Wei Yanhuai

As soon as the name came into Qingluan's head, she shook her head. It couldn't be his. If he had this ability, he wouldn't be mediocre in his life, and would only dare to scheme against juniors like them.

Qingluan suddenly remembered the final result of the Wei family's big house in the previous life. The family was destroyed and everyone was destroyed. Who was so cruel and wanted to kill them.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. When he was blown by the wind, he couldn't help shivering. Qingluan's body swayed slightly. In order to prevent him from falling, he put his hand on the heavy door and made a slight sound.

Wei Che inside was very startled. He turned around almost at the same time and shouted sharply: "Who?"
