Chapter 63
After a lot of tugging and persuasion, the two sides calmed down for the time being.

The old lady and Wei Cishu are still waiting for news, they don't care what method Xu uses, as long as they promise to settle the matter of Wei Qing and Zhou's family today.

But I never expected that it was not Wei Qing's suffering that finally reached the ears of the old lady and Wei Cishu, but Wei Qiongju's suffering.

Wei Qiongju was almost tarnished by that Zhou Hao.

The old lady didn't catch her breath and passed out on the spot.The nurse in the yard pinched and pinched, and it took a while before she woke up faintly.

Wei Qiongju cried for a long time; Zhou Hao covered the scratches on his face, becoming angry from embarrassment.

Afterwards, when the old lady and Wei Cishu came over to make decisions for Wei Qiongju with livid faces, Zhou Hao pointed at her and said, "It's clear that she took the initiative to find me! It was she who asked me to come to the backyard for a tryst. She obviously took the initiative to hook up with you, but she still went with her." Like a chaste and strong woman, who are you showing it to? Don't you have to marry me sooner or later, you have to be my woman sooner or later, isn't it the same?"

The old lady was also very annoyed, she slammed her cane heavily, and cursed: "You bastard! I have a scholarly family in the Wei family, how can I allow you and other dirty and shameless people to be presumptuous!" She asked Mrs. Xu to take Wei Qiongju away from this place immediately. The place is well settled.

The people of the Zhou family knew that the Wei family didn't want to admit to this marriage, so it was a good thing that this happened.

And the master of the Zhou family is not good at scolding, and he can't be led by the nose by the Wei family, so Mrs. Zhou can only come forward to argue.

Mrs. Zhou adjusted her appearance, stepped forward and said: "Old Madam's words are wrong, Miss Wei and my son have already engaged in an engagement, if your Wei family did not postpone the wedding, she would have been my Zhou family's daughter-in-law. Miss Wei is going to marry my son sooner or later, why is there such an indecent and shameless talk? As the saying goes, if Miss Wei has no intentions, how can you people from the Wei family allow my son to casually enter the female family's backyard?"

What she said made the old lady angry.

Wei Cishu was always kind in front of people, but at this time, he couldn't help his face twitching, saying: "I heard that Mr. Zhou is notorious, and he did this kind of thing but put the responsibility on others? I don't think this marriage will be settled!"

Mrs. Zhou said: "Master Wei doesn't want this marriage, doesn't he want the reputation of being the young lady of the Weiwei family? If word of this gets out, who would dare to come to propose marriage?"

It's no wonder that the Zhou family is so confident, everyone in the city knows that the Wei family and the Zhou family are prospective in-laws, and now that something like this happened, the Wei family definitely doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.

If Wei Cishu used his official power to forcefully suppress the Zhou family, then he would eventually get a bad reputation for crossing rivers and tearing down bridges to repent of marriages.

What's more, the Zhou family has a century-old foundation in this place, and the family has a big business. How can it be so easy to settle?
As the so-called official and business family, the Zhou family has been the richest man in the province for a hundred years, not only because of the relationship with the Wei family, but also with other officials to some extent.

But now he not only wants to keep his own reputation, but also Wei Qiongju's reputation. He also hopes to find a better and more profitable marriage for Wei Qiongju after breaking off the engagement with Zhou's family.

Fortunately, although Wei Qiongju's reputation has been damaged, his innocence is still there.

So in the end, I can only talk to the Zhou family and find another way.

This is the time to say, if you still want the Zhou family to withdraw the engagement, it is absolutely impossible.Instead, Mrs. Zhou strikes while the iron is hot. Anyway, the matter is already like this. It is better to advance the wedding date so that Wei Qiongju and Zhou Hao can become husband and wife early, and no one will say anything.

Of course Mrs. Xu refused, and as soon as Wei Qiongju was settled, she yelled at Mrs. Zhou, revealing that the Wei family did not want to marry Wei Qiongju.

Mrs. Zhou said: "I asked a fortune teller to calculate for my son earlier, saying that the best day for him to get married is after this autumn, so it will be beneficial to both families. It seems that it is really God's blessing, or else Let's advance the wedding date to the end of this autumn, and we will count it as the nearest good day, Lord Wei, don't worry, the Zhou family's dowry will not be less."

The faces of the old lady and Wei Cishu were vicious as if they had eaten flies.

When the Zhou family left, Mrs. Xu was still standing at the door with her hands on her hips, cursing: "I want to marry my daughter-in-law of the Wei family, and I don't even look at your son. The toad wants to eat swan meat!"

Mrs. Zhou was very angry, she turned her head and said with a smile: "What should be kissed and should be touched, my son has already eaten it? If Mrs. Xu is so unforgiving, then we have to announce today's matter and let the people in the whole city eat it." Let's all come and judge, and see if your daughter's swan meat will stink! And Mr. Wei claims to be a clean and honest official, if he can't even keep his promise, who will dare to believe it in the future?"

This sentence stepped on the sore spot of Wei Cishu. He couldn't allow his official career to be stained even the slightest bit. Xu wanted to scold him again. Seal the woman's mouth!"

In the end, the Zhou and Wei families made a very ugly mess, and the old lady's birthday also came to a hasty end.

But the marriage still had to continue, and soon the Zhou family settled down, and sent it to the Wei family together with a generous dowry.

The wedding date is still scheduled for this fall.

Originally Wei Dictionary wanted to delay it for another year or two, but now it is self-defeating instead.

Xu was furious and shouted: "Master, aren't you an adult participating in politics? Are you afraid that he will fail as a businessman!"

Wei Cishu slapped her angrily, and growled: "What do you know about a woman's opinion! If he makes a big fuss, he will go to the chief minister and let the chief minister see Qiong Ju's face." Looks, do you still want to pay Qiong Ju?!"

Mrs. Xu covered her face, and then she woke up a little.

The chief envoy is lustful, and with Wei Qiongju's appearance, he will definitely be attracted to him.

But now it's different from the past, the chief envoy is only one rank higher than him, which doesn't help him much in his official career, and he can't afford to lose his daughter to please the chief envoy.

This is also one of the reasons why Wei Dictionary wants to keep a low profile.

Wei Qiongju was extremely frightened, his face was white for several days and he couldn't sleep peacefully, finally he calmed down a bit, when he heard that his wedding date had been brought forward to autumn, thinking of Zhou Hao's various behaviors, he cried in front of the old lady and Mrs Xu It was so painful that he didn't want to live, and said: "If you want me to marry him, I might as well die..."

The old lady was very distressed, and put her arms around Wei Qiongju for a while to comfort her, "No, my dear granddaughter, don't be afraid, grandma and your parents will find a way, and I will never let you marry that pig and dog!"

Wei Qiongju raised his head with tears in his eyes, "But if I don't marry, they will say that my father has not kept his word, and someone has to marry..."

Xu said from the side: "Of course you don't marry, let Wei Qing marry, otherwise what will our Wei family do to bring her back as an abandoned girl from the countryside? Isn't it just marrying her in your place? Don't worry Qiongju, The old lady and the master will definitely let her agree!"

Wei Qiongju looked at the old lady pitifully, "Grandma, is it true?"
