Chapter 49: Favoring the mistress alone, the couple becomes alienated
Qin Luan raised his eyes and looked at Marquis Yangling, who was walking towards him, and suddenly raised his lips with a sarcastic expression, "Master Marquis really deceived me."
Marquis Yangling's expression condensed and he quickly explained, "Aluan, the matter is complicated. I will explain it to you in detail later. Please tell me first, who brought you here?"
Shen Qing on the side said in a timely manner, "Father, there is no need to ask, I brought Aunt Xu back."
Upon hearing the words "Aunt Xu", Marquis Yangling immediately twitched his forehead and looked towards Qin Luan, and as expected, he saw a coolness in her eyes.
Unwilling to get angry at Qin Luan, Marquis Yangling pointed his finger at Shen Qing, "Who allowed you to make your own decisions!"
Before Shen Qing could respond, Qin Luan had already scoffed, "In the eyes of the Marquis, am I only qualified to be a shady outsider?"
Marquis Yangling immediately felt a headache and grabbed Qin Luan's hand and explained softly, "What are you talking about? I'm just afraid that you won't get used to living in the Marquis' mansion, so..."
Before Yangling Hou finished speaking, Qin Luan interrupted him directly, "I don't want to go to Qingyun Lane, I want to live in the Hou Mansion."
Marquis Yangling frowned, and Shen Qing's voice reached Marquis Yangling's ears just after Qin Luan, "Aunt Xu was in her glorious years, and she gave birth to a beautiful woman, but her father left her alone when she was more than eight months pregnant. Being in Qingyun Lane is really not what a gentleman should do, let alone the responsibility that a prince should have. Taking advantage of my father's birthday, I brought Aunt Xu into the house, so that my father would not have to worry about it. "
Anxiety rose in Marquis Yangling's heart, but he heard Shen Qing continue to speak, "Father, don't worry, my daughter-in-law knows that Aunt Xu has endured for many years and has extraordinary integrity, so naturally I have not wronged her. The eight-carriage sedan chair, the reward money ceremony, all No less.”
When young ladies in Shengjing get married, there is an unwritten rule, which is to give money to the people passing by along the street to ensure a happy marriage, but Qin Luan... she is an outsider!
Shen Qing was originally a shady person, but Shen Qing made the ceremony so grand, as if he was afraid that others would not know that Marquis Yangling had raised someone outside.
Marquis Yangling felt his blood surge in his heart, but he didn't want Shen Qing's fuss to end. "By the way, father, today's reward totaled 1,500 taels, all of which came from my personal account." , Father, don’t forget to give it to me later.”
Yanglinghou was immediately startled, how much?
One thousand five hundred taels? All given to those lowly people?
Shen Qing really thought that the money from their Yanglinghou Mansion was blown away by the strong wind!
However, before Yanglinghou could get angry, Mrs. Yanglinghou, who finally came to her senses, took the lead and asked, "Mu Linyuan, you actually have an extramarital affair? You have a child, are you worthy of me!"
Marquis Yangling turned his head and saw Madam Yanglinghou's face was pale, her lips were trembling, and her scarlet eyes were full of despair and pain.
Looking away, he saw that Mu Ziqian, who was leaning on his shoulder, also had a face full of disbelief, and disappointment flashed deep in his eyes.
Seeing that Marquis Yangling was silent for a long time, Mrs. Marquis Yangling finally couldn't suppress the anger surging in her heart and cursed angrily, "Mu Linyuan, I married you when I was sixteen, and it has been twenty years since I gave birth to your children. Girl, I have endured so much suffering and looked down upon you while making soup for you, but now you are raising people outside under my nose. I really think that I, Lin Xianglan, am born with a soft temper. Are you bullying arbitrarily?
Today, between me and her, you can only choose one, either divorce me and marry another, or kick her out! "
Marquis Yangling's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he didn't know how to end it for a while. One was his wife, who had been with him for many years and had gone through many hardships, and the other was the orphan of his sweetheart whom he had been in love with for many years and finally got his wish. Both of them were Yangling. Hou can't give up even if he doesn't want to.
Shen Qing sat on a chair and sipped tea leisurely, watching with cold eyes as the quarrel between Yangling Hou and his wife became more and more intense.
Marquis Yangling was silent for a long time, and finally spoke out in consolation, "Xianglan, I know that I am sorry for you, and I will definitely compensate you twice as much in the future. I promise you that Aluan will never threaten your position as the head wife. "
Marquis Yangling thought he could appease Mrs. Marquis Yangling in this way, but he didn't expect Mrs. Yanglinghou's face to become even more ugly, "Ha! After working together for twenty years, they are not as good as a charming concubine. It's really ridiculous!"
Hearing this, Marquis Yangling frowned and defended Qin Luan, "Aluan, that's not what you think. You can't..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw Madam Yanglinghou breathing more and more rapidly, and finally fell straight to the side.
It happened so suddenly that no one had time to help Mrs. Yanglinghou who suddenly fell to the ground.
Just hearing a "boom", Madam Yanglinghou fell to the ground, unconscious, followed by Mu Ziqian's howl of pain like killing a pig, "Ah! My leg!!"
Coincidentally, the direction in which Mrs. Yanglinghou fell to the ground was exactly where Mu Ziqian's shoulders were. In addition, the distance between the two was so close that it happened to hit Mu Ziqian's two legs. On a broken leg.
Marquis Yangling was stunned for a while, then he quickly stepped forward to help Mrs. Marquis Yangling up.
Madam Yanglinghou who fainted and fell to the ground, Mu Ziqian who was innocently hit and howling loudly, Lin Xuefu who was frightened to death due to an unexpected incident... The whole main hall of the Mu family immediately became a mess.
Marquis Yangling picked up Mrs. Marquis Yangling and walked towards Qi Futang. As he walked, he scolded, "Why are you still standing there! Go find the doctor quickly!"
However, as soon as he reached the entrance of the main hall, he was blocked by Qin Luan.
Qin Luan didn't say anything, and just looked into Yanglinghou's eyes quietly. His resentment spread silently, and Yanglinghou felt even more upset and agitated, but he still patiently coaxed, "Aluan, human life is at stake, just wait here obediently." I, I’ll be back soon, okay?”
Towards Qin Luan, Marquis Yangling had always been gentle.
Qin Luan said nothing, but refused to give in.
The two sides reached a stalemate.
Suddenly, Qin Luan spoke, "If my mother knew that you were treating me like this, she would probably be unsafe, right?"
Hearing Qin Luan mention the Ling family, a flash of shame flashed through Yanglinghou's eyes. Looking at Qin Luan's stubborn little face, Yanglinghou finally compromised and put Mrs. Yanglinghou in the arms of the guard aside. When she was sent to Qi Fu Tang, she hugged Qin Luan's thin body with a distressed look on her face, and immediately picked her up and walked out.
From an angle that Yanglinghou couldn't see, Qin Luan's mouth raised a hint of coldness that penetrated his heart.
Seeing that the excitement had almost dissipated, Shen Qing stood up from his seat and looked at Aunt Qiu, "It's getting late, it's time to go back for a meal and a nap."
Aunt Qiu said with a smile, "Young Madam is right."
Seeing that Shen Qing didn't care about his life or death at all, Mu Ziqian became anxious, "Shen Qing! Can't you see that I'm injured? Go get me a doctor!"
Shen Qing was too lazy to pay attention to him, and walked directly out of the door with Aunt Qiu as if he hadn't heard anything.
Just when the two were about to leave the main hall, Jiang Sili, who was standing aside and watching another big show, couldn't hold back his anger, "Young Madam, today's initiation ceremony..."
In order to complete the etiquette, Shen Qing went to the west of the city and invited Jiang Sili to preside over it.
Shen Qing glanced at him and waved his hand, "You saw it too. It can't be done for now. Let Chanyi arrange for someone to take you back first."
Jiang Sili: "..."
In less than a month, the Yangling Marquis Mansion held two concubine entrance ceremonies, and they were both grand and grand. What’s outrageous is that they never happened even once. What kind of thing is this...
But if nothing else, Shen Qing was really generous in taking action.
Just from these two times, he made hundreds of taels of silver in vain.
Thinking of this, Jiang Sili quickly put a smile on his face and said, "Young madam, the villain will go back first. If there is a similar ceremony in the future, young madam, just give the villain instructions."
Shen Qing chuckled and agreed happily, "Okay, there will be another one soon. I will send someone to pick you up then."
