When she said this, she just wanted to relieve her anger, but she didn't know that Qi Lingyao would be so angry. She was extremely scared now, for fear that Qi Lingyao would ask her about the crime of the culprit.

Mrs. Qi looked at her daughter who was crying with red eyes, and looked helpless. She nodded Qi Lingyao's forehead, "You, you, what are you so confused about? You are the noble daughter of my Qi family, why? I have trouble dealing with a maid every day."

Qi Lingyao hugged Mrs. Qi's arm and said with sobs: "It's Mr. Jinglang who bullied me. He insulted me twice for this maid. If I don't get rid of this maid, what good can I do if I marry to the Jing Mansion?" Live your life.”

Mrs. Qi let out a long sigh and said, "Last time I came back, I was not optimistic about this marriage. Jing Dalang is a sixth-grade military attache, and he has a quarrel with Jing. How can he be successful in the future? I just don't know what your father values ​​in him. I actually want to get married."

"Mom~ Just think of a solution. What happened to Aunt Xia before, my daughter..."

Before Qi Lingyao finished speaking, she was stopped by Mrs. Qi's look.

"I'll think of a solution, but you're not allowed to go out and talk nonsense."

Qi Lingyao nodded obediently, and Mrs. Qi relaxed. After coaxing Qi Lingyao for a few more words, she left Qi Lingyao's yard.

Jing Yu didn't come on the second day. He handed over the greeting card on the third day and came to visit with his maid and servant.

Master Qi attached great importance to this meeting, and personally went to order the kitchen to make some preparations, and then greeted Jing Yu's arrival at the door.

When Jing Yu saw Master Qi standing in front of the mansion waiting for him, the smile on his face became more genuine.

"Junior Jing Yu, meet Uncle Qi."

Master Qi was very happy and went to the mansion to invite people. When they arrived at the living room, the two sat down and exchanged greetings. Jing Yu then motioned to Tianxuan to present the gifts he had brought.

"Uncle Qi has always been elegant, and his good calligraphy is praised by everyone in the imperial capital. The younger generation yearns for him, so I am prepared to give you a small gift. I hope Uncle Qi will not dislike it."

Master Qi opened the brocade box and saw a piece of fine Hui ink lying inside, which just made up for the missing piece in his collection.

This gift was delivered directly to his heart. Mr. Qi sent someone to take the box and looked at Jing Yu with a smile.

"My good nephew is interested, so I will accept it now."

Taking advantage of this gift, the two of them talked angrily and harmoniously about many things until Mrs. Qi sent someone to invite Jing Yu to dinner.

Jing Yu would not refuse. Today's visit was not just a visit to relatives and friends, but a blind date. Therefore, he had to meet the elders of the Qi family once.

Mrs. Qi watched Jing Yu coming from a distance with a smile on her face. She really was a handsome and talented young man. But when she saw Qian Xue clearly behind Jing Yu, the smile froze on her face.

Mr. Qi smiled and introduced Jing Yu to Mrs. Qi, and Jing Yu also greeted Mrs. Qi politely and thoughtfully.

"Now that everyone is here, let's serve the food." Mrs. Qi tried hard to maintain a smile and quickly diverted her attention, for fear that she would not be able to control her anger.

Jing Yu seemed not to notice at all and was still chatting and laughing with Mr. Qi.

When the dishes were served, everyone started to use their chopsticks, and Qianxue started to help Jing Yu prepare the dishes, just as she had done when serving Zhao. There may not be so many rules in Jing Yu's yard, but outside, she must not embarrass Jing Yu.

She lowered her head and paid attention to Jing Yu's movements. Bu Cai's movements were so neat and smooth that it was impossible to find anything wrong.

However, this stung Mrs. Qi's eyes. She put down her chopsticks and said, "Sir, it's not me who said that my nephew is not only outstanding in appearance, but also one of the most talented in the imperial capital. Those dandy boys from other families are messing around. , my good nephew has already achieved fame, and with such an outstanding son, I wonder which daughter of a family can be so lucky as you?"

"I don't know what my aunt said so well. It's all just a false name. How dare I delay someone else's girl?" Jing Yu also put down his chopsticks and looked at Mrs. Qi with a smile.

Seeing that the topic was on track, Mr. Qi just watched from the side without interrupting.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qi changed the topic and suddenly asked: "But at my nephew's age, even if he is not married, there must still be a caring person in the courtyard who knows both coldness and warmth."

As she spoke, she looked at Qianxue who was busy serving dishes.

Jing Yu naturally knew what she meant. He smiled and did not answer. Instead, he looked at Mr. Qi who was silent.

Mr. Qi didn't know what happened in the Jing Mansion before. Seeing Jing Yu looking at him, he just felt that his wife had exceeded the rules. Not to mention that Jing Yu was not their son-in-law yet, even if he was married to the Qi family, there was no reason for his mother-in-law to interfere in her son-in-law's affairs.

Besides, it's perfectly normal for a child of Jing Yu's age to have a common concubine, so what's there to ask?

Lord Qi warned in a low voice: "Madam."

Mrs. Qi glanced sideways at Mr. Qi, and did not stop asking. She continued to ask with a smile: "I see that the maid next to my nephew has a pretty face. What is her name? How old is she?"

Jing Yu was still smiling, but his eyes became colder, "I'm just a maid, how can I be cared about by my wife."

Mrs. Qi did not fight back and wanted to say something else, but Jing Yu was one step ahead of her and said, "Since we are talking about this maid, I have something I would like to ask you."

Mrs. Qi sensed that the person who came was unkind and did not want to answer. However, Mr. Qi had noticed the subtle aura between the two of them. He also put down his chopsticks, looked at Jing Yu and said, "My dear nephew, you might as well just tell me if you have something to say."

Jing Yu glanced at Qian Xue, who immediately understood and took out a handkerchief and a box.

Qian Xue opened the box, and there was a jade bracelet with excellent water quality lying on the soft satin, while there were a few pieces of cheap jade on the unfolded handkerchief next to it.

"A few days ago, my maid offended Miss Qi at the fourth prince's house. After I heard about it, I felt extremely guilty, so I thought about bringing her to make amends with Miss Qi in person."

Jing Yu's eyes glanced at Mrs. Qi, whose face was getting darker, and Master Qi, who looked confused, and then his tone was slightly higher: "It's just that the juniors who are involved in the lawsuit really don't understand it. I hope the two elders can give me some advice."

Mrs. Qi felt that something was wrong when she saw those pieces of broken jade. Although Jing Yu said it politely, her whole attitude clearly showed that she was not here to apologize.

Mrs. Qi clasped her hands tightly under the table and said with a half-smile, "What do you mean by my dear nephew? Didn't my Yao'er say anything when he came back?"

Mrs. Qi naturally knew everything the parrot said that day, but Jing Yu didn't look like he was letting it go. If what happened that day was revealed, her daughter would have to have a reputation of being jealous. She wanted to It is not easy to choose a good husband, so she must first remove her daughter.
