Chapter 372: Preventing Disaster
He Linsheng is eighteen years old this year. Because his reputation is not very good and his parents and he are picky, the marriage has not been decided yet.
A few days ago, my parents took a fancy to the legitimate daughter of the Chen family. They said that although Chen's father had not been in Dingzhou for a long time, he had outstanding political achievements. The emperor admired her very much, and he might be transferred to Beijing for a more important position in the future. He took a look at Miss Chen San from a distance and felt that although she was not stunningly beautiful, she had a good figure, curved eyebrows and a unique charm, and he felt a little bit willing.
However, the Chen family has always been hesitant. He is also afraid that Chu Lingxuan will get in the way and change over time. So when I heard that it was Miss Chen San who fell into the water, I jumped into the water without hesitation to save her...
Chu Lingxuan said helplessly, "I have no choice. If I stand aside and don't save your sister, others will say that I am a cold brother-in-law, and I will even talk about our relationship as a couple. If I save her, she will definitely She will take advantage of me. This is the trap she set for me. I don't care about other people's comments, but I don't want to involve you. Besides, Master Jian happens to be here, and I always want to leave a good impression on him. So, hehe, I have no choice but to push He Er out to help me avoid the disaster."
Chen Afu was angry and funny, and said, "He Er helped you avoid the disaster, but Chen Yuhui married into the He family, and I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause for my natal family."
Chu Lingxuan said, "My father-in-law is very smart and knows how to deal with it."
Chen Afu said, "You have plotted against He Er. Wouldn't the He family hate you even more? Mrs. He saw me just now and wanted to eat me. Mr. He is your boss. You have to be careful recently, don't let him catch you." braid."
Chu Lingxuan said, "I don't care about He, the He family still hates me." He then said nonchalantly, "Master He is always grabbing my pigtails. I've long been used to it... Today I took advantage of going to the latrine with Master Jian. At that time, I carried a copy of Master He with ginseng on my back. He committed a crime, and He Er used the excuse of a martial arts contest to maim several brothers..."
These words made Chen Afu laugh again.
Chu Lingxuan said, "Send you home. I will go to your parents' house again to talk to your father-in-law."
Chen Afu said, "In that case, we will go with you." Chen Yuhui already has a "nice family" and will no longer miss Chu Lingxuan.
Chu Lingxuan nodded and asked the driver to reverse the direction and go to Chen's mansion.
After Chu Hanyan finished what her parents had said, she said to Chen Afu Nuonuo, "Mother, I have seen the bride. The bride is very good-looking, but she is still not as good-looking as my mother. I am not the only one who says so, Sister Lian Lan Sister Heshan said so."
Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu both laughed. Chen Afu smiled and praised her performance today, and then said, "If you say that your mother is good-looking, just keep it in your heart. In front of others, say that other people's mothers are good-looking. That way, people will be happy."
Miss Chu nodded after hearing this.
In the Chen Mansion, Chen Shiying also returned with his wife and daughter. He was almost going crazy. Thinking of the way his colleagues looked at him, he wanted to kill the disgraced Chen Yuhui.
He followed Chen Yuhui to her yard, slapped her twice in the mouth, and cursed, "Why did I raise such a shameless daughter like you? You actually went to a place not far from the man to pick lotus leaves and returned them." Don't tell me you didn't do it on purpose!"
Chen Yuhui stroked his slapped face and said loudly, "I did it on purpose, how about that? It's fair. Because Mr. Jiang hated my aunt, he tried every means to find a good marriage for me, but God gave her his own daughter a good marriage." Marriage was given to me. This is called the cycle of heaven and retribution." He cried again, "Dad, I am also your biological daughter and the eldest daughter who grew up by your side, but what did you do to me? The husband I’m looking for is actually a rich man, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Chen Shiying pointed at her and said angrily, "You are really stubborn. The Chu family wants to marry your eldest sister by name. How come we are trying to find a good match for you? Your mother found the Wei family for you, even though she is not an official. , but the family has money and land, and the family has a good temper, you will definitely enjoy happiness if you marry into it. You have a bad temper and a petty temper. It was your father who asked your mother to find such a family, and only such a family will treat her well. You, forgive me. Do you really think that He Er is a good match? Tell him about your third sister. That's just your mother's idea. Then the He family, then the He family..." It doesn't matter whether the He family is good or not. , she had no choice but to marry in.
Chen Shiying looked at his second daughter with tears streaming down his face and stubbornly, the daughter he had loved since childhood. He was so angry that he shook his sleeves and walked away, asking his mother-in-law to keep an eye on her.
Chen Yuhui looked at the two unfamiliar women in the room, snorted coldly, went into the bedroom and lay down on the bed.
She also tried her best this afternoon because she heard that Jiang had found a landlord's house in the countryside for her. If she marries a landlord, she might as well die.
She got her wish and came to Fu's house, got rid of the girl and mother-in-law who had been following her, and happened to see Chu Lingxuan and several young men on the other side of the lake. She felt that the opportunity had come, so she went to the bridge to pick lotus leaves, and then fell into the lake. She calculated that Chu Lingxuan would definitely come to save her whether it was because of his reputation or because he admired her.
However, after she regained consciousness, she heard that the person who saved her was not Chu Lingxuan, but He Linsheng, the second son of the He family. Although there are still some regrets, marrying He Er is better than marrying into a landlord's family. Moreover, she knew that Jiang wanted to tell Chen Yuqing to the He family, and it seemed that Chen Yuqing was quite willing. Stealing Chen Yuqing's good husband and making the mother and daughter angry to death was an unexpected gain. Thinking of this, she laughed out loud.
Jiang and Chen Yuqing were really angry. Chen Yuqing had been holding back at Fu's house, but she burst into tears when she returned to her own courtyard. Jiang was beside her, trying to persuade her with tears.
When Chen Yuhui was sent to Madam Fu's courtyard by the maid to change clothes, Jiang, Madam Fu, and Madam He were so scared that they ran to Madam Fu's courtyard.
Because the maid who came to report said that the girl who fell into the water was Miss Chen San, and the one who saved her was Mr. He Er.
At that time, Madam He held Jiang's hand and said, "Madam Chen, don't worry. We all like Miss Chen and will definitely take responsibility. This is also a match made in heaven..."
When they came to Madam Fu's courtyard, they realized that the person who fell into the water was not Miss Chen San, but the second girl of the Chen family.
Madam He's face was gloomy at the time, and her hands were shaking with anger. She just said in front of Madam Fu and many other ladies that she would take responsibility. She couldn't change her mind, right? Besides, this matter has become such a big deal that it is impossible for her to change her mind. Her husband has always wanted to marry into the Chen family, so he will definitely facilitate this matter. However, her legitimate son marrying a concubine's daughter is like eating a fly...
