Chapter 45 Mei Shijiu is like this
It's sunny after the snow, but it's getting colder.
"It's snowing for the first time and it's clear. It's so beautiful to make wine and enjoy the snow. Ninth Young Master sitting here in a daze is not living up to such beautiful scenery and such good wine."
"What the fifth prince said is true, so Shi Jiufang is immersed in it."
Qianqiulou's wine is famous far and wide, and the scenery of Qianqiulou is even more unique. How can it live up to it?
It was just...a momentary distraction.
The fifth prince who came to drink wine and enjoy the scenery around Mei Shijiu was the man who was injured by the Yunchu Snow Beast.
The fifth prince, Feng Ziyue, was an idle prince. He had no power and was not favored by the emperor. He was rarely summoned a few times a year. At his age, he had left the palace and lived alone but had not been crowned king. This was also a special case.
"It turned out to be immersed in it."
Feng Ziyue shook his head, took a sip of wine and sighed.
Mei Shijiu took a sip of the wine as well. The two of them drank their own drinks, neither clinking glasses nor helping each other refill the wine, which was quite casual.
"...I just recently learned that the Ninth Young Master is actually kind-hearted!" Feng Ziyue smiled slightly, looking bored when he was drinking and not talking.
"What do you think the Fifth Prince said?" Mei Shijiu turned sideways and asked with a smile.
"I heard that at the Yun family's old lady's birthday party, you, the Ninth Young Master, heroically saved the beauty?"
Mei Shijiu's eyes flashed, and her smile grew stronger, "The fifth prince is joking, I am a hero, how can I be beautiful?" At most, she is just a little girl.
"..." It turns out that Mei Shijiu is like this...
"If the fifth prince asked me today just to talk about this, it would be a waste of wine!"
Rumor has it that it’s better to drink wine, isn’t it?
Feng Ziyue smiled and went straight to the topic, "Well, it's really boring. I'm asking you today because I want to ask if the Mei family really wants to marry their daughter into Prince Su's palace?"
"…The fifth prince is more direct!"
Mei Shijiu was obviously a little surprised. He and the fifth prince were somewhere between friends and strangers. They admired each other, but it was not suitable for them to have a close friendship because he was Mei Shijiu and the other prince was a prince.
The Mei family... cannot be involved in the whirlpool of the battle for the throne.
Even if this fifth prince seems to have no competitiveness, the Ninth Five Supreme Being...as a prince, do you really have no idea?
"My prince doesn't want to beat around the bush with you, Mei Shijiu, and there is no need."
Feng Ziyue shrugged and spoke casually.
Mei Shijiu frowned and nodded softly: "The imperial edict has been issued, and the Mei family cannot resist it or disrespect it!"
Is it to marry the daughter according to the decree, or to betray the king of pixels? This is what the fifth prince wants to know.
"Ninth Young Master is honest, then... I'll leave this to the Ninth Young Master, you're welcome."
Feng Ziyue stood up and left a letter on the table before turning around and leaving.
Mei Shijiu bowed as a gift and Feng Ziyue left. He picked up the letter, read it and walked away with a heavy look in his eyes.
It turns out that this was what King Su had in mind!
In the past few days, the Yun Mansion has been extremely lively. The second lady learned that the old lady wanted to marry Yun Chuqi to the young master of the Ji family and refused, so she cried and made trouble at home.
The same goes for Yun Chuqi. Her temper almost brought down the whole Yun family.
The old lady and the eldest lady were in a big fight, but Yun Shangde had already spoken out about this matter, and it would be a success. Although the old lady was not very happy about this marriage, she couldn't care less about her son's future.
Who knew that the second wife was willing to go out of her way for her daughter and found an opportunity to secretly take Yun Chuqi back to her parents' home. The second master even went to pick her up several times and refused to come back no matter what.
"Mom, the second aunt is trying her best not to agree to this marriage. She even told her about the union and separation. The second aunt loves Yun Chuqi..."
Yun Chuqin's words sounded a bit sour. I originally thought I could see Yun Chuqi's jokes, but I didn't expect the second aunt to be so determined. In this way, it would be difficult to talk about the marriage.
Yue Lanzhi felt as if her heart was stabbed when she heard her daughter's sour words.
He raised his eyes and looked at Yun Chuqin in disbelief, "You...are you blaming your mother for not being able to help you reject the Li family's marriage like your second aunt did?"
After being told what she was thinking, Yun Chuqin lowered her head and pursed her lips, fidgeting with the handkerchief with both hands and said aggrievedly: "My daughter doesn't dare!"
Yue Lanzhi's eyes turned red instantly, "Okay, just blame your mother. Do you think your mother doesn't want you to marry high? Have you forgotten how your mother helped you plan three years ago? If it hadn't been for Yun Yinling and the six girls
It got mixed up... Just because of this matter, your mother suffered a lot of contempt from your grandmother. When you married the Li family, she knew that you were unwilling to do so, but that was your father's wish. What could your mother do? The Li family was not like our family at that time.
He is a well-matched and upright son-in-law. My mother has inquired about his character and appearance... If the Ji family is like this, my mother will be like your second aunt..."
As he spoke, he shook his head, feeling a little chilled.
"But now we and the Li family are no longer well-matched. Our daughter is getting married at a low age."
"So what? Can I still regret the marriage?"
"My daughter knows that this is her daughter's fate, so she just accepts her fate."
Yun Chuqin was so aggrieved that she even forgot to salute and ran away in tears.
Yue Lanzhi was so angry that she slapped her chest, "This is blaming my useless mother, she is blaming me!"
Cai Yi looked very distressed, "Madam, please stop saying that. The eldest lady doesn't understand now, but she will understand later."
"Three years ago, if it hadn't been for Yun Yinling and Liu Yatou, Qin'er might have married into the Mei family, and she wouldn't have married lowly now. I know she feels aggrieved, but what can I, a mother, do?
This marriage was decided by the master, is it easy for me to take over this family? The old lady is pressuring me, so I have to think twice before doing anything, I..."
The more Yue Lanzhi spoke, the more aggrieved she became.
"Madam, when it comes to Miss Six, I have already found out clearly that Tao'er was bought by Miss Six after the house was sold. The more I think about it, the more wrong I am. I am afraid that Tao'er has already made plans with Miss Six.
Understand."
But Caiyi wasn't too sure. After all, Miss Six couldn't take care of herself at that time, so how could she make such plans for a girl?
"Hmph, how can it be such a coincidence? I sold it here and bought it there. It was just a plan. I knew that Qin'er's good deeds would be ruined at that time and he couldn't get anyone from me, so I did it.
This golden cicada’s plan to escape from its shell is such a six-girl thing, I really didn’t see such scheming methods, but Yun Yinling’s matter must be involved here.”
Yue Lanzhi was now even more dissatisfied with Yun Chuxue and Yun Yinling.
"What Madam is saying is that Miss Six is probably not an economical person. Wouldn't she be able to get away with the Ji family's affairs? There are also Ninth Young Master and Young Master Han. I don't know when they met."
If you think about it carefully, you are really capable at such a young age.
"I asked you to inquire about their affairs in the village. Have you found out clearly? Are they living in the capital now?"
Yue Lanzhi's expression gradually changed, she couldn't just let them go.
"My servant has inquired about it. They have nothing special to do in the village. However, I have inquired about their house in the capital. It seems that they bought it! This is a lot of money!"
"I didn't expect Yun Yinling to have saved so much money in these years. Didn't the sixth girl say that she escaped into Buddhism and practiced Buddhism? Then let her live the life of the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha!" She didn't believe that a concubine was still here.
She, the stepmother, had everything in her hands.
