Court Marriage - Chapter 37

“grandmother…”

Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang simply saluted the three elders, and the two were summoned to the front by the old lady who sat up, hugging each other and sitting beside them.

“Now that Ze’er and his wife are back, you have the guts to say it again in front of the children!”

Mrs. Qiao put her arms around the shoulders of Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang, and glared at Mrs. Qiao and drank, while Mrs. Qiao froze while wiping her tears, then she covered her face with a handkerchief and cried again. On the other hand, Qiao Yingxuan, who was kneeling on the ground, bit her lip and looked up at her brother and sister-in-law. She tried to hold back what she wanted to say, her eyes were red and swollen and looked pitiful.

“Grandmother, what’s wrong? You mustn’t **** yourself off.”

Qiao Yingze sat up straight and held the old lady’s hand. The husband and her husband helped her to lean on the mat together. Then Qiao Yingze took the fan from the maid’s hand to fan the old lady, and Gong Zhuoliang also took the place of the maid to massage the old man’s chest. Angry, and the two maids stepped back to the side and stood up, trying to dilute their existence as a background.

“Ugh…”

The old lady let out a long sigh with a tired look, and slowly explained the whole story to the two of them. It turned out that the maid Jingshu that Qiao Yingxuan had received in March actually vomited the contraceptive pill and secretly conceived a child, because Qiao Yingxuan later She has never been close to her, and her plump body has not been discovered by others. It was not revealed until she was five months pregnant.

Originally, according to Mrs. Qiao’s intention, such a despicable girl who does not follow the rules and delusions that her mother is precious by her child should be kicked out or killed directly as an example, and the child in her stomach should not be kept, otherwise Qiao Yingxuan will not be married. Before giving birth to an offspring like this, it not only lost the face of Qiao’s family, but also greatly insulted his fiancée. How could people be willing to marry their daughter to suffer grievances, not to mention that they are not only officials but Qiao Madam’s maiden relatives, Madam Qiao doesn’t want to have any face on the relatives’ side if something like this happens.

But when Mrs. Qiao angrily wanted to kick the child in Jingshu’s stomach, Qiao Yingxuan, who had just recovered from the shock and dazed, tried her best to stop her, knelt down in front of Mrs. Qiao and begged her to keep the child. With his blood and flesh, he has to take on the responsibility of being a father and cannot abandon it.

Mrs. Qiao’s crying and scolding could not change Qiao Yingxuan’s determination. Instead, she was softened by the tears of her son’s grievance and sadness, and promised him to keep the child, but for Qiao Yingxuan’s future and the face of their mother and son, Mrs. Qiao waited for Master Qiao. After returning, the ‘family of three’ found the old lady who didn’t want to get involved in the matter, and put forward a request to adopt the child under the name of the eldest house. The old lady immediately angered and rebuked her, saying that she was so calculated. His eldest son and daughter-in-law are really vicious.

When Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang came back, they were at a critical moment when they were making trouble.

“The mother-in-law said this about her daughter-in-law, but she killed her daughter-in-law. How can her daughter-in-law behave in this family!”

When the old lady said it was vicious in public, Mrs. Qiao fell to her knees with a plop and took a few steps on her knees. At this time, she was really angry and scared. Although she was not afraid that the Qiao family would move her because of her family’s power, after all, it was the Qiao family who died. It’s a ghost from the Qiao family, how can he afford that kind of notoriety.

“You will be afraid that people will tell you what you do! You can’t see Ze’er’s health getting better, or is the harmony and love of their husband and wife obstructing your eyes? , you don’t want them to have a happy birthday, don’t you, you want to let girl Yan behave, let his children behave, what do you feel at ease? What are you going to toss my Qiao family into! “

The old lady sat up and pointed at Madam Qiao and scolded her, her eyes were ruthless as if she was going to tear her apart. She thought that she had become more and more active in the past six months, and she basically ignored her old woman, preferring the younger son. It doesn’t count to marry Gao Gao’s brother to seek family business, and now he has made up the idea of ​​​​the Ze’er couple’s heir.

“!”

child…

After understanding what happened, Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze looked at each other with a heart-to-heart look, knowing that the other party had the same mind as theirs, they couldn’t help but smiled faintly at each other, and then changed their tacit understanding into a sad look to appease the old lady.

Qiao Yingze’s sadness was naturally faked. He had only hostility and no feelings for Mrs. Qiao. After being designed by her, he would only want to find a chance to return it. Of course, he couldn’t be sad or anything. Mrs. Qiao’s move, but It is exactly the idiom of the dove occupying the magpie’s nest.

You must know that according to the rules of this era, it is generally only those who have no children who will adopt the children of the kin family, or inherit the family business, or inherit the family, especially those who are adopted and raised by the mistress’s side. There is no heir, if this child is a boy, then he will become the eldest son. In the eyes of others, isn’t it because the two of them have to raise their son and finally have to pay for the family property?

However, Gong Zhuoliang knows his own family affairs. In this life, he can’t expect any of the two of them to have children. Gong Zhuoliang doesn’t care if he has children of his own, but he has to consider Qiao Yingze, a traditional scholar, but let the concubine stay Don’t even think about the next heir, how could Gong Zhuoliang let others touch his little Xianggong’s finger!

Therefore, they still have to adopt the children of the step-kin, but that is something they can only plot after they leave the Qiao family. Now that they are still in the Qiao family, they will inevitably have to resist the pressure of the elders and the world to live in the children. Now that there is a ready opportunity for them to temporarily get rid of this pressure, why not do it?

It’s just… Gong Zhuoliang looked at Qiao Yingze with some distress, knowing that his little husband’s sadness was revealed by his true feelings. He was so calculated by his own mother, even if Qiao Yingze was not close to her, it was inevitable that he would be hurt.

“Mother-in-law, Ze’er and Xuan’er are both the daughter-in-law’s biological children. Even if the daughter-in-law is usually partial, she will never have such bad intentions. The daughter-in-law wants to preserve Xuan’er’s reputation and marriage, and the Qiao family’s face and face. The future is right, but it’s also a kindness to Ze’er and his daughter-in-law!”

Madam Qiao’s face turned pale after being scolded by the old lady, but a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. At first, she really only thought about how to protect her youngest son, and it was a random way to propose adoption, but now she was reprimanded by the old lady, but It was enlightened, I just felt that this idea was really good, if the eldest son of the company’s chief room was Xuan’er’s blood, then Xuan’er and his wife would be more confident in the future!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qiao gritted her teeth and made an appearance of grievance and grief. She continued to wipe her tears with a handkerchief while crying. .

“Although Ze’er’s body is better, but after all, she has a weak foundation. If you give it to a concubine, it will only cause disaster, and Ze’er’s wife’s stomach has never moved, and it is always inappropriate to have no son-in-law by her side. Now let’s adopt it first. If you have a son-in-law in the future, the arrangement will be like, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law is wronged, daughter-in-law only wants to take care of the overall situation and the best of both worlds, how can there be so much effort.”

“Okay, okay, coming up with such a stupid idea is your responsibility to take care of the overall situation? If you only have such a brain, how dare I let you take care of this whole business! Simply hand over the key to the public school. Daughter-in-law Ze, while my old wife still has a few years to live, I can always teach a good mistress who can keep the house, so as not to be mad at you!”

The anger that Madam Qiao contradicted turned into a smirk, the old lady restrained her originally angered appearance, sat upright with a majestic look on her body, and made up her mind to continue this matter to suppress Madam Qiao’s majesty, so that everyone in the house knew who it was. It’s Joe’s God!

“Mother-in-law! Mother-in-law calms down. It’s the daughter-in-law who didn’t think carefully. The daughter-in-law knows that she is wrong. Mother-in-law, don’t get angry with yourself…”

Madam Qiao had just finished her eloquence, and before the majesty of her body was shaken, she was almost choked by the old lady, but she was smart, seeing that she couldn’t touch the old woman hard, so she took advantage of the situation. The appearance of being aggrieved and seeking completeness is regarded as admitting the loss. She expected that the old lady would not dare to give up. After all, the power is now in her hands. If the old lady does not have the strength to move her, she will not tear her face and hurt herself majesty.

“It’s all the grandson’s fault to let the grandmother calm down. Please don’t blame the mother for the grandmother’s anger, the mother’s sadness, and the lack of peace in the family. It’s the grandson’s unfilial piety. Protect your child, so I implore the grandmother to keep this child, and the grandson will take all the consequences willingly and never regret it!”

Seeing his beloved grandmother and mother quarreling so much, Qiao Yingxuan couldn’t help shedding tears again. He choked and pleaded. He knew that keeping this child would make him lose a lot, but he really couldn’t watch that child return. The unborn little life disappeared like this. It was his first child. Even if it was not conceived in his expectation, it was his close relative. How could he be cowardly and selfish for the so-called future and face. Abandoned his own child!

“Naughty, a child conceived by a lowly maid is worth your unruly nonsense, as is your mother-in-law, who cares about him indiscriminately, killing the child directly and kicking him out, it will end, and you will provoke him. Mother is so annoyed, mother, daughter-in-law and childish child are ignorant, and you have full control, only this marriage is irrevocable.”

Master Qiao listened impatiently for a long time, seeing that Qiao Yingxuan actually wanted to give up the future marriage for the sake of his son-in-law, so he spoke a few words with a cold face.

He also pointed out that the second daughter-in-law’s family was in Beijing to help him, and for this reason, he gave them a lot of things, how could he let the second son mess up his future!

“Please grandmother!”

His heart was cold because of the words of the person he should call his father, Qiao Yingxuan looked at the people in the room who should be his closest relatives, and suddenly kowtowed fiercely.

“Ying Xuan!”

Startled by Qiao Yingxuan’s actions, Qiao Yingze ran to him without thinking and knelt to stop him. Looking at his brother who was crying and his forehead was red and swollen, Qiao Yingze felt full of pity for him for the first time. . His younger brother, although reckless and impetuous, is a good boy who dares to admit his mistakes and take responsibility. He is proud of his straightness.

“elder brother!”

Qiao Yingxuan stared blankly at the brother who was hugging him, and found that his face was no longer cold and alienated, but full of concern and concern. He doesn’t let go.

“Xuan’er…”

Mrs. Qiao was also stunned by Qiao Yingxuan. She lost her mind to fight. She only thought about whether her son was seriously injured or not, but she wanted to go and hug him, but she saw that Qiao Yingxuan had already thrown herself into Qiao Yingze’s arms. Crying bitterly, Mrs. Qiao couldn’t help looking at this scene in a daze, forgetting how to think for a while.

“Xuan’er, you…that’s all, if you want to keep the child, you can leave it first. What should you do? Wife-in-law, you can do it, but the matter of adopting to the long room is not allowed to be mentioned again!”

It’s not that the old lady doesn’t feel bad for Qiao Yingxuan. In fact, she should have said that she had greater expectations for the eldest grandson than the frail eldest grandson, so she seemed a little stricter, but after Qiao Yingze got married, the old lady was very fond of the eldest grandson. There is hope again, so I am a little less towards Qiao Yingxuan, and even hope that he can be mediocre, not to go past his brother, so I didn’t pay much attention to it after the incident before, I just heard that Qiao Yingxuan was in trouble, so I sent someone to tell Qiao Yingze and the others When they came back, they wanted to be able to talk between their brothers, but Mrs. Qiao turned her mind on Qiao Yingze, and she was so angry that now it was time to stand up for herself, and she was beaten for what was supposed to be beaten. The old lady thought about herself. Don’t worry about it anymore, let his mother handle it, so after giving his daughter-in-law a cold look, exhausted, they all dispersed, leaving only Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang to talk with him.

As soon as the old lady opened her mouth, even if the child was left, what status could it be, but it was still unknown. Master Qiao went to the concubine’s room without paying much attention to it. After wiping the medicine and talking, Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang, the two people who were innocently implicated, exchanged ideas with their eyes while coaxing the old lady, waiting to make a decision after returning.

Qiao Yingxuan washed her face with the medicine at Mrs. Qiao’s place, and begged her to assure her that she would keep the child, so she returned to her yard pitifully, and then hesitated for a long time at the door. house.

“Master…”

Jingshu, who was waiting anxiously while rubbing her stomach, saw Qiao Yingxuan who came first, and knew that her adventure was a success. The second young master really saved her and the child. Jingshu looked at her beloved with tears and joy in her eyes. A person full of hope for the future life.

Her requirements are really not high, as long as she can continue to be by the second young master’s side, she is willing to send this child to her mother to raise her. She will take good care of the young master and the future mistress, and there will never be other delusions!

Jing Shu wholeheartedly thought that Qiao Yingxuan was a soft-hearted person, and that he would keep him if he gave birth to a child, but he did not know that although Qiao Yingxuan was good, he was not a soft persimmon who was casually manipulated and controlled by her. The child tried his best, but he was the first maid who could not tolerate him in such a situation.

“Let me… touch him.”

Qiao Yingxuan looked at Jingshu with complicated eyes. Although she hated and hated her scheming in her heart, she had to keep her first because of the child, and only after the child was born… give her a sum of money to keep her far away. send it away.

“certainly!”

Jing Shu sat happily on the couch, unbuttoned her shirt to reveal her already pregnant belly, and looked at Qiao Yingxuan who was close to her with anticipation.

“…”

Avoiding Jingshu’s sight, Qiao Yingxuan knelt down on one knee, carefully put her ear on her stomach, and gently stroked her hand. Suddenly, she felt that the little thing kicked her, and Qiao Yingxuan’s face couldn’t bear it. Zhu smiled, followed by eyes full of anticipation and determination.

Child, Daddy will definitely protect you!

Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze avoided the topic of the child, and finally coaxed the old lady into a good mood, accompany her to eat some meals and then coaxed her to rest, and then hurried back to their yard.

Gong Zhuoliang, who was used to not wearing makeup, felt uncomfortable as soon as he relaxed, his hair was tight, his face was stuffy, and his body was tied and he was tired and uncomfortable, so he didn’t have the time to talk about the problem. , I felt that I was fully resurrected.

“Master!”

He stretched and stretched his muscles and bones. Gong Zhuoliang saw Qiao Yingze sitting absent-mindedly on the edge of the bed wiping his hair, so he rushed over and gave him a deep kiss, drawing his attention back to himself, and then changed to a more comfortable one. He leaned on Qiao Yingze’s side and began to discuss tonight’s events.
