EBE Chapter 152 Qu Yin'er
Chapter 152 Qu Yin'er
The Guo family is the previous county magistrate. Now that he is about to be promoted, the two families have already agreed on the marriage. In the past, He Lianjun wanted to marry into the Guo family, but the youngest daughter of the Guo family liked him. Now the status of the two families is even more different.
A teacup fell in front of He Honglian, the porcelain pieces shattered everywhere, and the scalding tea soaked her skirt.
It was already embarrassing enough. He Honglian stood up and raised her chin slightly. Since her father was so determined, it would be difficult for her to stay. She was originally a married woman. She stayed in the He family because her father had no one to take care of her for many years. Now it was time for her to leave.
After hearing what He Honglian said, Mr. He was furious. "You still don't know your mistakes. Do you think you can do whatever you want after going to the capital? What you have done over the years has really disappointed me. Since you are so determined, then go ahead. From now on, the He family will have nothing to do with you."
Although there was reluctance in He Honglian's eyes, she was more stubborn. She straightened her spine and said coldly: "I, He Honglian, can make a name for myself without relying on the He family." After that, she turned and left, her steps firm but with a hint of loneliness.
Shen Shihui looked at He Honglian's back as she walked away, feeling mixed emotions. She turned to look at Old Man He and He Hongxiao, and said softly, "Grandfather, mother, aunt..." He Hongxiao sighed and interrupted Shen Shihui, "Forget it, she has made her choice, so let her go. I hope she can truly understand her mistakes in the future."
Old Master He nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Shen Shihui: "Hui'er, now this Penglai Pavilion is handed over to you to manage, you must work diligently and don't repeat your aunt's mistakes." Shen Shihui replied solemnly: "Grandfather, rest assured, Hui'er will do his best and live up to your expectations."
Unexpectedly, when He Honglian returned to her private residence, her maid came to report that someone wanted to see her.
For some reason, He Honglian felt a tightness in her heart, and she always felt that nothing good would happen today.
Qu Yiner came in crying and knelt down. If Zhao Qiqi was here, she would definitely remember that this was the person who asked He Lianjun to buy soap for her that day.
She looked so weak that she couldn't take care of herself, and cried like a kitten: "Madam, please let me go."
He Honglian felt a throbbing pain in her temples and thought it was Zhao Licheng's dirty trick.
Who would have thought that the next sentence would be: "Madam, Lian Jun and I are truly in love, and I am already pregnant with his child."
He Honglian stood there, her face livid, anger and fear intertwined in her heart. Qu Yiner's arrival was like a heavy bomb, instantly shattering her plan.
She looked at Qu Yiner's slightly bulging belly, and the anger in her heart burned fiercely. She was so hot and agitated that she could not deal with the matter calmly.
However, reason told her that she should not act impulsively at this moment.
She thought quickly in her mind. She could either cruelly abort the child to completely eliminate the trouble; or let Qu Yiner give birth to the child and then find a place to hide the child. Perhaps there would be a glimmer of hope.
Finally, a trace of reluctance prevailed, and she decided to let Qu Yiner give birth to the child.
Just when she was about to speak, He Lianjun rushed in with an anxious look on his face.
He looked at his mother angrily and reproached her: "Mother, why can't you tolerate us? She is pregnant with my child, but you want to drive her away or make a cruel decision."
He Honglian felt heartbroken when she heard her son's accusations. She looked at her son who had no conscience and no ability, and her heart was filled with sadness.
"You know how badly you've hurt us all!" He Honglian said in a trembling voice, "I've put so much thought into this family and for you, but you're so disappointing."
He Lianjun sneered and accused her: "You have been busy with the restaurant since I was born, and you didn't care about me at all. You only know how to pursue your power and wealth. When have you ever really cared about me? Even my father, a poor boy, came to the He family so that you could stay and marry into the He family."
He Honglian was hurt by her son's words and burst into tears. She had never thought that this was the image of her in her son's mind.
"You! You really don't have a brain at all. Do you know that we have been driven out of the He family, and now only the Guo family can save us? Are you really willing to live with her like this without power or influence? Or, if you lose your status as the young master of the He family, will she be willing to live with you?"
Qu Yin'er's eyes were a little evasive, but she didn't believe that He Honglian would really break off relations with the He family: "Madam, Lian Jun and I are truly in love. Even if we have to eat coarse food, I will not leave her."
He Lianjun was deeply moved and his confidence increased greatly.
He Honglian couldn't stand it anymore and called him an idiot, but after all, he was her son, so she let him go.
"If you want to keep her, you can, but you have to keep her outside."
"How can this be possible! I want Yin'er to be my legitimate wife."
"He Lianjun, don't be so shameless. Even if I split from the He family, if you really marry the prostitute, wouldn't that be trampling on my face? Leave her outside. As long as she doesn't make trouble at home, I won't care about anything. Just follow me to the Guo family and set a date for the wedding with Madam Guo while Magistrate Guo is in Beijing for his post."
He Lianjun wanted to say something else, but Qu Yiner stopped him: "He Lang, I am willing to do anything for you. As long as you have me and the child in your heart, I am willing to do anything. Just listen to your wife."
How could she not figure out whether it was better to stay in Qixian Town or go to the capital with the Guo family? As long as He Lianjun's heart was with her and she had a child, she would naturally be more glorious than the principal wife.
Since Qu Yiner said so, there was no reason for He Lianjun to disobey.
"It's up to the mother."
This conversation really damaged the relationship between mother and son and left a rift.
"He Lianjun, let me remind you, this is not a joke. If you don't coax Miss Guo well when we get to the Guo residence later, our family will be left starving."
He Lianjun casually replied, "Just go. Miss Guo has been coaxed into a trance by me and she will marry me. Besides, the marriage has already been decided. How can I let her family say no to the marriage?"
Qu Yin'er was left in the house, and the mother and son took a carriage to the gate of Guo's mansion.
She straightened her clothes, her face full of determination, thinking that they would be able to set the wedding date today.
However, before they could step into the Guo family's gate, they were stopped by several servants of the Guo family.
One of the leading servants looked at He Honglian and her son expressionlessly, and said in a cold tone: "Madam He, Master He, our mistress has ordered that you cannot enter the mansion today."
He Honglian was stunned, the smile on her face froze instantly, and she asked hurriedly: "Why is this? We are here to discuss the marriage, why don't you let us in?"
The uneasiness in her heart grew stronger and stronger, as if everything was about to get out of control.
The servant raised his mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and said, "Humph, Madam He, you still have the nerve to discuss the marriage? I'm sure you know about Qu Yin'er's matter, right? Our Madam sent her to your house, and you still have the nerve to come? Master He has a mistress outside and she got pregnant, and he did such a dirty thing. Our Guo family is a clean family, and we can't afford to bear this."
He Honglian's face turned pale and her body trembled slightly. She suppressed her shock and anger and said stubbornly, "There must be a misunderstanding. My son is definitely not that kind of person."
"Misunderstanding? Madam He, you are still quibbling. Our master had already investigated the matter clearly before he left. Qu Yin'er is Mr. He's mistress. You, the mother and son of the He family, should have some shame and stop bothering our Guo family. The two families should end it here and don't come again."
"You! You are just a servant, how dare you talk to me like this? Don't forget, your master took my money and handled a false case when he was promoted!"
What I talked about with Honglian was the case of Zhao Qiqi.
"Madam, our master also said that he didn't care about that matter at all. He just pretended to do it for you. When the new official takes office, the case will be re-examined and nothing will happen. Your young master did such a thing, and our master didn't take the opportunity to make it public. It's already a great favor to you. Please don't push it further."
She was so angry that she was about to go crazy. All these things were overwhelming her and she could hardly breathe. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
