Nangong Yue nodded, "I understand, I'm going to talk to my mother right now." As she said that, she turned around and wanted to walk towards the main room, but was stopped by Nanny Liu.
"Third Miss, the Second Master has just arrived and is talking to the Second Madam in the room." Nanny Liu said hurriedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Muwen’s voice came from the room: “It’s Sister Yue, come in quickly.”
Nangong Yue responded and entered the main room. She saw Nangong Mu and Lin sitting face to face on the Arhat bed across a small table. There was a mahogany chessboard on the small table, with black and white on the chessboard. Half of the chess pieces of the two colors were occupied, and the two were obviously playing chess.
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows, glanced at Mrs. Lin, and saw that Mrs. Lin had a peach-like face and a very good complexion, and finally felt relieved.
"Sister Yue, come here quickly," Mrs. Lin waved to Nangong Yue and said happily, "Mom has some good news to tell you."
"What's the good news?" Nangong Yue hurriedly walked over and snuggled next to Lin.
"Your father just said that he will take us to Zhuangzi to play in a few days." Mrs. Lin said with a smile, "Your brother just went to play in the garden. When he finds out, he will be very happy!"
"Really? Dad!" Nangong Yue looked at Nangong Mu in surprise.
Nangong Mu smiled and nodded.
"But what about my girlfriend? Will grandma agree?" Nangong Yue asked a little worriedly.
"Don't worry, sister Yue, my father will convince your grandmother." Nangong Mu promised with a smile.
Being able to be a family of four together is simply Nangong Yue’s dream! Nangong Yue looked at Mrs. Lin and then at Nangong Mu, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Thank you, dad!"
On this side, Nangong Yue's family of three is enjoying themselves; on the other side, Su Qingping is planning for her life-long event. She carried the yam and jujube cake she made by herself to the outside of Su's bedroom, and Liu Rong was naturally waiting on her.
"Miss Dong'er." Su Qingping had a slightly flattering smile on her face, "Can my aunt get up?"
Su Shi usually has the habit of taking a nap. Su Qingping had inquired about it before she came. At this moment, Su Shi had already gotten up. But when we got here, we naturally had to ask.
"The old lady has stood up." Dong'er replied respectfully, "Cousin, please wait a moment, my servant will go in to report." After that, he entered the house.
After a while, Dong'er came out, "Old lady, please come in."
Su Qingping nodded with a smile and entered Su's house.
"Ping'er, come here quickly." Mrs. Su smiled and waved to Su Qingping cordially.
"I've met my aunt." After Su Qingping said goodbye, she quickly brought the yam and jujube cake to Su, "Aunt, this is made by my niece. Try it and see how it tastes."
Su slowly picked up a piece and took a bite, then put it down, wiped her mouth, and praised: "Sweet but not greasy, it melts in your mouth. I didn't expect Ping'er to have such a good craftsmanship."
Su Qingping quickly flattered her: "If my aunt likes it, Ping'er can cook it for my aunt for the rest of her life."
Mr. Su smiled and said, "Ping'er is so filial and virtuous, I don't know which family will be better off in the future."
"Ping'er won't marry!" Su Qingping blushed like a cooked shrimp and said shyly, "Ping'er is willing to accompany and serve her aunt all her life, and she also asks her to fulfill her wish." After that, she said He knelt on the ground with a plop, "Aunt, please don't drive Ping'er away."
"You silly child, my aunt never said anything about driving you away, so why are you kneeling on your knees? Get up quickly." Mrs. Su quickly shouted at the six figures behind Su Qingping, "Why don't you? Please help your girl up quickly!"
"No, Ping'er can't get up." Su Qingping looked at Su with pity, "Please ask aunt to promise Ping'er to let Ping'er stay with her forever, then Ping'er will get up."
"Ping'er, what are you..." Mrs. Su frowned and her face darkened, "Has anyone made you angry, or has someone said that they want to drive you away?"
"No, no one said this." Su Qingping denied repeatedly, "It's just that Ping'er wanted to serve her aunt all her life and didn't want to leave her, so..."
Mrs. Su's face softened slightly, and she suddenly thought of Su Qingping's stepmother, her sister-in-law, and thought to herself: This child doesn't want to leave here so much, could it be that he was mistreated by his stepmother at home? Also, if there is a stepmother, then there is a stepfather.
Mrs. Su thought she had figured it out, so she patted Su Qingping comfortingly and said, "I understand your filial piety. Don't worry, I will find a good marriage for you. Speaking of which, I think The Juren introduced by Mrs. Zhao last time is pretty good. I’ll ask Mrs. Zhao to arrange a meeting right away. You don’t have to worry, good boy, get up quickly.”
"Yes, girl, please get up quickly." Liurong could only help Su Qingping up, "The old lady will make the decision for the girl."
At this time, Su Qingping only felt that the mute could not tell the pain of eating Huanglian. She has repeatedly stated that she wants to stay with the Su family. If the Su family is serious, she can definitely think of letting herself marry Nangong Cheng. From now on, she can legitimately stay in Nangong Mansion. But Su didn't even think about it in that direction, and instead accelerated her marriage.
But she couldn't say anything to stop Su's arrangement, so in the end she could only pretend to be shy and chatted with Su for a while with a forced smile... It wasn't until she saw Su's face looking tired that she winked. He said goodbye and left.
Su Qingping walked out of Rong'an Hall with a gloomy expression, feeling as if a fire was burning in her heart, and she felt so uncomfortable...
**◆**
In the Mozhu Courtyard, Nangong Yue practiced calligraphy for a while, and just when she put down her pen, Yimei came into the room and reported: "Third Miss, the magpie is here."
"Let her in."
After a while, Que'er came in. She bowed to Nangong Yue first, and then started talking.
"Third girl, Banxia just sent the news, saying that the eldest lady will take Miss Pingbiao to see the marriage in two days. The person to see is none other than Wang Juren."
Nangong Yue nodded, "You think of a way to reveal this news to the Fourth Master."
"Yes, Miss Three." Que'er responded, then retreated at Nangong Yue's signal.
"Boom!"
Thunder suddenly rumbled outside, and Nangong Yue looked out through the window, smiling with an unknown meaning.
The sky was still blue and cloudless in the morning, but the sky suddenly changed in the afternoon. The gray sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was terrifyingly gloomy, as if God had sensed something...
In the Rongan Hall, Mrs. Su was sitting on the Arhat bed, her face as sinking as water, and her eyes like sharp knives shooting down at the kneeling man.
"Fourth, what did you just say? Say it again!"
"Mother, son... My son wants to marry Qingping's cousin, please ask mother to make it happen." Nangong Cheng mustered up the courage to say it again. Ever since he learned the news that Su Qingping was planning to get married last night, he couldn't sleep all night. After thinking about it all night, he finally decided to beg Su.
Ms. Su stared at Nangong Cheng with a cold tone: "Ping'er agrees with you?"
"No, no..." Nangong Cheng shook his head repeatedly and said sincerely, "It's just that my son admires Miss Qingping and wants to marry her, but Miss Qingping doesn't know anything!"
Su's expression softened, it seemed that the fourth child was just wishful thinking and Ping'er didn't know anything.
"Fourth child, listen carefully. Marriage is a major matter, parents' orders, matchmaker's words. I have already planned your marriage." The Su family rejected Nangong Cheng's request.
"Mother, mother, I admire cousin Qingping from the bottom of my heart. If you are worried that your son will treat cousin Qingping badly, your son can swear to God." Nangong Cheng asked Su again without giving up.
Su's face was gloomy and she said coldly: "Fourth, it seems that I have indulged you too much in the past few years and made you forget the rules!"
"Mom, calm down." Nangong Cheng explained hurriedly, "The son did not mean to disobey the mother, the son just wanted to marry..."
"Shut up!" Mrs. Su was furious, "Get rid of your thoughts as soon as possible." Then she shouted, "Someone, send the fourth master to kneel in the ancestral hall for a day."
"Fourth Master, please." The two ladies walked to Nangong Cheng's side, one on the left and the other on the right.
Nangong Cheng remained motionless and looked at Su with a stubborn expression.
Mrs. Su said sharply: "Fourth child, why are you still not convinced? Do you want me to use family rules and family laws to deal with it?"
"Son, I don't dare." Nangong Cheng suddenly looked ashen. If the family rules and regulations were used, he would have to kneel for at least three days and three nights, and he would only be allowed to drink water and not eat. Speaking of which, Su's so-called punishment just now was considered light. It was probably because she didn't want to make the matter bigger and ruin Su Qingping's reputation.
Nangong Cheng left Rongan Hall dejectedly.
At this time, outside Rongan Hall, there were several people standing in twos and threes who came to pay their respects. Su Qingping was among them. I saw that she was wearing a jade-colored butterfly-embroidered flowered cross-collar short gauze shirt and a light green pleated skirt. A small face as big as a palm is as white as jade, and a pair of beautiful eyes are looking at her with affection, but she still wants to speak.
Nangong Cheng couldn't help but be fascinated.
When one of the women saw Nangong Chengmu standing still, she became a little anxious and shouted in a low voice: "Fourth Master..."
Nangong Cheng came to his senses immediately and looked away.
"Fourth Master, are you okay?" At this time, Nangong Cheng's servant Zhang Fu ran up to him.
Nangong Cheng looked back at Su's room in Rongantang, then shook his head and replied: "I'm fine." After that, he strode out of Su's yard.
Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes. Others may not have noticed, thinking that Nangong Cheng was answering Changfu just now, but she noticed that Nangong Cheng's eyes were turned to Su Qingping at that time.
At this time, Grandma Wang from the Su family's house came out and said to everyone: "The old lady said that she is not feeling well. Please go back, madams and girls. There is no need to say hello today." Then, she faced Su Qingping again. Said, "Miss Pingbiao, the old lady invites you."
Nangong Lin whispered dissatisfiedly: "If grandma was feeling unwell, why didn't she call us? Instead, she asked Aunt Ping to come in and serve her."
Ms. Zhao looked at Su Qingping with sharp eyes and a heavy gaze.
Su Qingping couldn't help but feel proud of Su's preference. She puffed up her chest and walked into Su's room despite the dazzling eyes of everyone.
As soon as she entered the room, Su Qingping felt keenly that Mrs. Su lost her usual friendly smile when she saw her.
