No script time travel, the general helped me rise to the top
Chapter 52: Unable to Keep Mourning
"Why did General Tang beat the young marquis?" Xiao Tao loved gossip, so naturally no one loved asking more than her.
However, Yangyang also looked at Biluo. She also wanted to know the reason.
Biluo then slowly said, "I went out to inquire yesterday and heard people outside saying that General Tang not only beat up the young marquis, but also tied up the young master of the Gao family and threw him at the gate of Jinglinsi."
"How come you didn't tell me about such an important matter yesterday or this morning? You are such a taciturn person!"
Xiaotao took off her handkerchief and wiped a small mud spot on Yangyang's skirt.
"The lady asked me to go find General Tang, and the other ladies didn't let me ask!" Biluo's words made sense, which made Xiaotao stand up straight, and then she bent over with giggles.
"Good of you, Biluo! You can be a loyal bandit leader, but you keep your mouth shut!"
"But you know, you have been talking for a long time tonight and have delayed the young lady's important matter!"
After saying that, he looked at Yangyang again, with a smug look on his face, as if you and I both knew the truth.
"What's the big deal?" Yangyang started walking into the mansion. Thinking that nothing had been accomplished today, he didn't have the mood to tell jokes.
"Why did General Tang beat the young marquis? Why did he arrest Gao Yuan? Miss, do you know the reason?" Xiao Tao tilted her head and stared at Yangyang.
Yangyang thought for a while, then became lazy and didn't want to think anymore.
She just hoped that her father could get off work early today so that she could have a good chat with him.
At dinner time, the Left Prime Minister came home early and walked into the Chenxi Hall. The servants had already prepared the meal.
Just after sitting down, "Where's Qingqing?", Zuo Xiang's words showed a hint of uneasiness.
"Qingqing went to see the young marquis."
Old Madam Xue tasted a bite of the fresh lotus root that the nanny had put in the bowl, and chewed it carefully as if nothing had happened.
Zuo Xiang was surprised and asked, "Did mother agree?"
"Of course I agree. It would be nice to go and see the young marquis at this time and get closer to him, wouldn't it?" Old Lady Xue tasted another piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin with a sweet taste, her thoughts were about to come out.
"Mother, tomorrow I will take Qingqing's mother's body back. We need to start preparing for the funeral tonight. Now is not the time to think about your children!"
Zuo Xiang was cold-hearted and had originally intended to let Qingqing atone for her sins and cut off all thoughts. This was not a punishment for her.
But Zuo Xiang understood that with Xue Qingqing's personality, she would get into big trouble sooner or later.
Now that I have been able to save her, I have already put in a lot of effort, but why doesn't Madam Xue understand?
"Zheng'er! You are being targeted by those villains right now. Isn't this just right? Let Qingqing marry the young marquis. With the protection of the Marquis of Changguo, who among those people in the court would dare to say anything bad about you?"
Old Madam Xue was fully convinced that every step she took was for Xue Zuo's benefit.
But after all, she had been among women for too long and didn't know the priorities and intrigues in the court.
I think things are simple and ignorant.
Moreover, he petitioned to protect Xue Qingqing because he did not want to associate with the Changguo Marquis family.
The Left Prime Minister has already expressed his dissatisfaction in front of Your Majesty.
Thinking of this, he put down his chopsticks and advised carefully, "Mother, do you know that the Marquis of Changguo has deep roots in Yuzhou and has been feared by monarchs since ancient times? Why doesn't mother know this?"
After hearing this, Old Madam Xue put down her chopsticks, but suddenly gave Yangyang a look of disgust, pointed at Yangyang and looked at Lord Zuo Xiang, "Save those great principles for others to tell. I just want to ask you one thing, when will you send this troublemaker away for me!"
Yangyang knew that as long as her father was free, Old Madam Xue would definitely make trouble for what happened that day.
So, Madam Xue did not wait for the left prime minister to answer and started to talk in detail again.
"This girl Yangyang has grown stronger now, has more ideas than others, and even wants to take over the Xue family's finances."
"Zheng'er, Qingqing is also your child. Don't you want to think about what will happen to you a hundred years later?"
"Yangyang's temper is likely to make everyone feel uncomfortable. I'm just looking for a stable backer for Qingqing. If you don't love her, I do. What's wrong with that?"
After this speech, the left prime minister was speechless.
It’s not that he thought what the old lady said made sense, but he felt that no matter what he did, he would be sorry to Yangyang.
It's a knife anyway, so I'll make it clear now.
"Mother, Qingqing has done something like that, so she must observe mourning. There is no room for argument."
The old lady was about to explain when the left prime minister said,
"Yangyang will also follow General Tang to Mobei, and this will also be what you wish for!"
In this way, once Yangyang left, all of Old Madam Xue's worries were gone, and the mourning period would be three years, which would never change.
Xue Qingqing, who had been eavesdropping outside the door for a while, suddenly rushed out, "No!"
She chewed her tears, her fingernails digging into her flesh. She knelt on the ground with determination, looked at her father, Xue Zuoxiang, and finally her eyes fell on Old Madam Xue's face, "Grandma, no, I can't mourn anymore."
"What is this?" Old Madam Xue signaled Madam Xu to help the Second Miss up.
No matter how Aunt Xu pulled her, Xue Qingqing just remained motionless and refused to get up. Suddenly, her eyes dropped and she took a deep breath and said,
"I am already the young marquis's person!"
Zuo Xiang, "What?"
Old lady, "Silly child!"
Just now, even though Old Madam Xue had scolded her, she still couldn't put down her chopsticks. But because of Xue Qingqing's words, Yangyang was completely frightened and dropped her chopsticks.
Is this Xue Qingqing crazy?
Yes, yes, yes! She is not crazy. If that is the case,
That would also explain why even after Xue Qingqing was beaten all over by the young marquis's men, he still wanted to protect her.
Seeing the silence in the hall for a moment, Xue Qingqing said softly, "Qingqing went to see the young marquis today, and he told me that he would find a way to take me in!"
She became more and more excited as she spoke, completely ignoring the gloom on the left prime minister's face.
She knelt down again and moved to Old Madam Xue's side, hugged Old Madam Xue's thigh and said coquettishly, "Grandma, when the time comes, you must prepare a large dowry for Qingqing. I want the best. I can't let the young marquis look down on me!"
Xue Qingqing, you stupid woman, you have already sent yourself to someone else's bed, and you are still afraid that others will look down on you! What a brain circuit.
Yangyang really thinks this woman is hopeless!
"Silly child, if that's the case..."
As Mrs. Xue was speaking, the Left Prime Minister jumped up from the stool and knocked it to the ground.
"If your father doesn't agree, you can't even think about entering the Changguo Marquis's house."
"Why?" Xue Qingqing cried and raged, looking back at Xue Zuoxiang's face fiercely, gritting her teeth and said hatefully, "Why don't you let me get married? I want to marry the young marquis, and only the young marquis. If you don't let me, I will go to that villa every night and bear children for him!"
"Snapped!"
Zuo Xiang looked at his red hands, and the palm print on Xue Qingqing's face was clearly visible.
But at that moment, the loneliness of Zuo Xiang could not be explained by words. He did not dare to look at Xue Qingqing again, "I can't say it, it's not allowed, manager!"
The steward came forward and said, "Sir!"
Zuo Xiang turned his back to Xue Qingqing and said, "Lock her up. No one can let her out without my permission."
"No," Mrs. Xue felt distressed when she saw Qingqing had just received such a heavy slap, "I said you can't close it!"
"Mother, if you still consider me your son, then don't argue with me about this matter." After saying this, the Left Prime Minister threw his sleeves, drawing a long arc in the air, and left Chenxi Hall.
Yangyang stood up. Xue Qingqing covered half of her face and stabbed Yangyang, "You won't be happy for a few days. Just wait!"
