Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 447: The Emperor’s Destruction of the Zhenguo Mansion (7)

The girl's eyes instantly turned red. "You really only came here to ask for my hand in marriage out of pity for me."

They both touched the back of their heads, and it seemed that when they were women, they didn’t cry so easily?

But Shuangshuang knew that in this situation, the woman just needed to be coaxed.

He quickly came to her and wiped away her tears with the back of his hand.

"Why would you think so? Just think about it, who in this world can force me to marry a wife with my national martial arts skills?"

"Then you, then you..."

"Don't worry, sister. I took the initiative to ask my grandmother to come to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion to propose marriage."

The girl's eyes lit up, and they became clear and bright, without the previous haze.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. I came here this time and brought you a gift."

Then he opened the box, revealing a jade pendant of extremely fine quality and crystal clearness.

"I carved this myself. It may not be as beautiful as the ones I bought, but it definitely represents my feelings."

"Who wants a gift from you?"

This is the kind of person who is stubborn but still insists on being stubborn. His eyes are clearly fixed on the jade pendant.

Shuangshuang teased her deliberately when she saw this. "Don't want it? Then I'll give it to Haoqi. He's my brother-in-law anyway, so it's not a loss to give it to him."

The two girls stomped their feet and said, "You, you, give it to me! I, I, I didn't say I don't want it."

After teasing her for a while, they realized it was almost time, so they handed the jade pendant over.

Finally, he bowed solemnly again and said, "Don't worry, sister. The promise I made to Haoqi just now is valid for life. I will never take a concubine or a maid in this life.

Now you should be able to put your mind at ease and get engaged to me."

After Shuangshuang left, Liang Haoqi told his grandmother and mother about the promise Shuangshuang had made, which made them even happier and they kept giving instructions to their caring maids.

"Go, bring me the dowry list I gave to the girl, and I'll go through it carefully.

Such a good son-in-law, naturally we can't treat him unfairly."

Bu De also nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, go pick out a few more good things from my warehouse and put them in the second girl's dowry. It can also make up for some of the grievances he suffered."

After they got engaged, they rarely saw each other.

Shuangshuang would ask Liang Haoqi to send some small gifts from time to time, and Miss Liang would also send clothes, shoes, socks, fan covers and other items that she had embroidered herself.

Liang Haoqi's face was getting more and more uglier. His sister used to make these things only for him, but since he got engaged, she would make an extra portion. It made him unhappy just thinking about it.

Half a year passed in a flash, and suddenly, an express train of 800 miles rushed into the capital.

"Report... The Northern Desert Army raided the Northern Frontier camp!

We have suffered heavy losses. The general and his personal guards have disappeared, their whereabouts unknown!"

For a time, people were in panic, and the hearts of the people in the court who had been won over by the prince began to disperse.

The old lady stood in the yard and stared at the north, where her son and her grandson were!

Now that she was in a state of uncertainty about her life or death, she suddenly looked at least twenty years older.

For a moment, she was overwhelmed with mixed emotions, which reminded her of the moment when the old man died in battle.

It was such a gloomy day, and suddenly someone said that the old man had died in battle!

The eldest son was given the task at a critical moment and was taken to the battlefield without even attending his grandfather's funeral.

Over the years, many good sons of the Qi family have passed away.

Now, is it his son's turn?

The old lady held the dragon-headed cane tightly with trembling hands, her eyes sparkling.

No, she can't fall down yet!

The sky of this family cannot fall!

I blinked my eyes and blinked back the tears!

There's nothing to be afraid of about this kind of thing. She has experienced it countless times in her life!

He calmed himself down and gave instructions to Cuizhu in a deep voice.

"Go and invite all the ladies here yourself!"

Cuizhu looked at the old lady worriedly, gritted her teeth and squatted down to salute.

"Yes, old lady, I will go right away!"

She looked at Cuiliu again, and Cuiliu nodded slightly to her. Cuizhu then concealed the worry in her eyes and left quickly.

We first arrived at the second wife's yard, and the wife seemed to be doing fine.

I am instructing the people around me to prepare supplies to be sent to the border, including medicine and food.

Her husband and children are at the border, but she is currently the head of the household.

After something like this happened, she didn't even have the chance to feel sad.

Cuizhu bowed silently and then said softly, "Second Madam, the old lady invites you!"

The second wife did not ask what the old lady wanted her to do, but only gave instructions to the personal nanny beside her.

"Go and ask your husband and son to follow up on this matter personally.

If the medicinal herbs are not available at home, I will use my dowry to buy them from the pharmacy outside.

Don’t be stingy with money at a time like this.”

Then he followed Cuizhu out of the room.

Arriving at the gate of the courtyard, Cuizhu bowed again.

"Second Madam, I still need to go to the Third and Fourth Madams. Please go ahead."

The second wife came to the old lady's yard first and saw that the old lady's originally gray hair had turned completely white overnight.

Her eyes were filled with heartache. “Old Madam, you… please take care of yourself!”

The old lady who was originally resting with her eyes closed slowly opened her eyes.

He patted the seat next to him and said, "Second brother, come sit here."

The second wife quickly walked over, sat next to the old lady and quietly reported her plans.

"Madam, my daughter-in-law has sent someone out to buy herbs and food!

We cannot hold His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back any longer on this matter.

I also asked Zhuangzi to report the news, and then I would have Uncle Zhong and the others deliver food, herbs, and medicines to the border."

The old lady was very satisfied with the second wife's actions.

He patted her hands in satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's do it right away.

As for the silver, you can take it from the public treasury."

It was obvious that the old lady understood the second wife's temperament and would rather use her dowry than touch the public savings at will.

Because this is the future of the entire Qi family.

Whenever the imperial court was in financial difficulty, food and military supplies for the front lines came from here.

"it is good!"

The second wife agreed readily.

She herself didn't know how this matter would turn out in the end.

What’s the point of keeping money if the person is gone?

The third and fourth wives also rushed over, sweating.

The first thing he did when he came in was to put a stack of banknotes on the coffee table next to the second wife.

"Sister-in-law, we don't have your insight into other matters, so we can only do our best.

Use it to buy more food and herbs, and send them to Bianjiang as soon as possible. If you can...save as many as you can."

The fourth wife is the youngest and her temperament is not as calm as the second and third wives. She can't even maintain the most basic composure.

The third wife quickly took her hand and comforted her.

"Don't be sad, Fourth Brother's wife. They are blessed by fate and will surely find good fortune out of misfortune."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah"

The fourth wife couldn't help but choke up with sobs before she could speak.

The old lady sighed and stopped the third wife from persuading her.

"Let her cry. It's a good thing that she can cry at this time!"

Don’t be like them. They have experienced a lot, so when something happens, their conditioned reflex is not to feel sad, but to think about how to solve it.
