C85 (1/2)
It was very normal for the Lady Zeng to have such thoughts. Forget about Xie Jingqi, even if she had a direct son, it would still be reasonable for the Lady Zeng to give Gu Heng a woman. However, Xie Jingqi was not such a obedient and obedient wife, maybe it would just be a ruckus she had made, and Xie Jingxi even thought that it would be very possible for the Lady Zeng to give her the position of legal wife if she did not have a father like her.
Furthermore, the last time Gu Heng accidentally leaked it out, would Lady Zeng already suspect that Gu Heng had some sort of shameful thoughts about her, which was why she purposely invited Xie Jingxi to join in, maybe Gu Heng could agree to it?
Xie Jingxi turned 180 corners in his heart, but on the surface, she revealed what the Lady Zeng had said: ”Second Miss definitely does not feel well, and is depressed in his heart. Sometimes, it will cause blood clots in her body, so why not ask Imperial Physician Pei to set up a treatment.
The Lady Zeng sighed, ”Look at me now, who knows when I might lose my leg, your father doesn't say anything, but he must be worried, Heng'er is unwilling to marry your Second Miss, if I close my eyes with your father, how would I still have the face to meet the ancestors if I don't see my grandson, I am also your mother, how would I not know that your Second Miss is pitiful, but then again, Heng'er is no longer young, so wasting time like this isn't a problem, boss wife, is what I said right?”
Xie Jingxi did not say anything, and did not say anything either. She could only laugh awkwardly, ”Does mother have any intention of asking Little Uncle?”
”If he would only listen to me.” Lady Zeng had a worried look, ”I don't know which string he got wrong, I won't go into your Second Miss's room, I won't go into your room, and I won't go into the girl's room. The one in the study is also open, I want to give him a proper home and say that he shouldn't have a room, unless he's determined to be a monk, I'm so worried that my hair is turning white.”
Xie Jingxi could not accept her words, it was not because she was afraid, but because she was wrong, she had to make a cup of tea for Lady Zeng, ”Mother, please calm down first, I can't rush these things, Eldest Miss has just disappeared, my little uncle and his wife must be feeling terrible, maybe after a while, everything will be better.”
Lady Zeng took the cup and cupped it in her hand, and said after containing her emotions: ”Speaking of which, Heng'er has always had a high opinion of her, maybe he looked down on her in a normal way, so I thought about which family in the capital is the most suitable, regardless of family background, whether they are descendants or concubines, as long as the lady is proper and proper, no one will be wronged by someone like us. Although entering the door is a concubine, as long as we can have a woman, we can't treat her unfairly, don't you think so?”
So Lady Zeng had this idea, as long as it wasn't some young masters and mistresses from a large clan, it would be possible for an ordinary woman to marry into Marquis Mansion as a concubine, and it wouldn't be bad if she didn't marry some ladies from ordinary families, but since it was said, as long as Gu Heng's original wife was Xie Jingqi, someone's daughter would probably not be able to live a peaceful life, but this was all later on, the problem was who did Lady Zeng have this idea about?
”On the other hand, your aunt mentioned someone to me a while ago.”
Xie Jingxi was startled, she thought that Grandma Dagu had been meddling in her affairs for a long time, but in fact, she already had a choice in her heart. If she had said a few words to pick her up, she would have been able to make a decision on this matter right now, and after leaving the door, she would say that she had discussed things with Xie Jingxi, so how could Xie Jingqi and Lady Xu let her go?
Lady Zeng continued: ”You should know this person, he is the Fang family's young lady, Fang Wanqing.”
Xie Jingxi, ”...”
What the hell was this? It was Fang Wanqing who was wandering around everywhere, and in her previous life, Fang Wanqing was the one who wanted to marry and fill in Gu Heng's bed. Maybe it was also introduced by the Grandma Dagu, so this time, the requirements were not high.
”I've met her once, but the Fang family's girls are always noble, so why would my aunt mention her?”
”That you don't know.” The Lady Zeng laughed: That Miss Fang used to be rather famous in the past, but isn't this the decline of the Fang family? Her condition seems to be rather high now, and she has never mentioned her family, your aunt intentionally introduced her to Heng`er a few years ago. Although she is now a concubine, Heng`er's talent, no matter how high her standards are, she should at least be well-matched.
Xie Jingxi was also at a loss for words, but Lady Zeng did know one thing, Fang Wanqing did indeed like Gu Heng, and that young lady's thoughts were not simple either. If they were to marry over, the one who would suffer would be Xie Jingqi.
But looking at the situation, Xie Jingxi was afraid that there was no longer room for opposition. Grandma Dagu and Lady Zeng were singing the same tune, and if Fang Wanqing herself agreed, then she might really be able to carry into Marquis Mansion one day and become Gu Heng's concubine.
It's still too early to talk about it now. At least wait for the Eldest Miss's matter to settle in a few months.
