After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Yuan Huiniang saw that this matter was not going to work and would involve other people's privacy, so she took the initiative and said: "Mom, don't you still need to prepare some things for going to Beijing? It's getting late now, let's go and have a look.

It's too late. We don't have all the things ready today. "

Yan Qingqing nodded when he heard this, stood up and was about to leave.

Mrs. Ding didn't care so much anymore, stood up and said: "Mrs. Mingzhao, Mrs. Li, please listen to me.

When Xiu'er decided to get married, the old lady only agreed verbally, and I didn't know about it at all.

Originally, I was planning to admit it, but who knew that the young master of that family turned out to be a sick young man, and asked our Xiuer to marry him just for fun.

I heard that he has been in poor health since he was a child. The old lady knew it and agreed to the marriage. Wasn't it clear that she wanted to harm our Xiu'er? "

Mrs. Ding said while crying, looking very sad.

Yan Qingqing and Xu are both mothers. To be honest, anyone who encounters this will feel bad. If it were Li Yueniang and Yan Qingqing, she wouldn't be willing to do it.

Finally, Madam Xu comforted Mrs. Ding, and Mrs. Ding stopped crying.

Then Mrs. Ding said again: "Mrs. Mingzhao laughed.

No matter what, I will not agree to Xiuer marry that sick man. "

Upon seeing this, Yan Qingqing sighed and looked at Member Ding and said, "Member Ding, although this is your family matter, I can't say anything more.

But parents want their children to be safe and go well.

If the man is really frail and sickly, he is really not a good match for Miss Xiu'er. I hope Mr. Ding will consider it carefully. "

Yan Qingqing always spoke with great weight in front of Ding Yuanwai, but Ding Yuanwai actually did not agree with this marriage. But this was something the old lady had promised before.

Now that the old lady is gone, he is afraid that his insistence on regretting the marriage will ruin the old lady's reputation.

Mrs. Ding knew that Member Ding was a foolish and filial person, and even Yan Qingqing could not persuade him. She immediately looked at Member Ding and said harshly: "If you insist on harming my Xiu'er for the sake of filial piety, I will make peace with you.

At that time, I will take my two children and leave the Ding family far away. "

Mrs. Ding never said such words either when she was suppressed by Old Mrs. Ding or when the Ding family was in decline. Now that her life is better, she can actually say this, which shows that she is really sad.

Upon hearing this, Member Ding hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What are you talking about, Madam?

Xiu'er is my daughter, how could I be willing to push her into the fire pit?

Aren't we trying to find a way to solve this? "

Mrs. Ding snorted coldly and said, "I don't care what method you use, but the marriage must be called off."

Then he turned to Mrs. Xu and said, "I am very optimistic about Xiang Bao's child. If the Li family is still willing to propose marriage after this marriage is cancelled, I will definitely marry Xiu'er to Xiang Bao."

Yan Qingqing couldn't answer this. After all, Li Xiangbao was not her son. Even if he was her son, she couldn't guarantee that Li Xiangbao could wait for Ding Xiuer.

Instead, Mrs. Xu said: "Okay, Zuo Xiangbao is still young, so he is not in a hurry about this matter.

If these two children are really destined, our family will still come to propose marriage. "

Mrs. Ding was greatly moved after hearing this. She was naturally happy that her daughter could receive such attention from Mrs. Xu.

Besides, the family rules of Mrs. Mingzhao's family were there. A man could only take a concubine if he was forty and had no children. Even if a concubine entered the house, the children of his disciples would still be in the name of the mistress.

Xiu'er from her own family has always been gentle, virtuous, and has a gentle personality. The Li family is definitely a good place for her.

Moreover, Li Xiangbao was an only son, so there was no intrigue between the sisters-in-law, so Xu and Li Sanniu were easy to get along with.

What's more, with Yan Qingqing, Mrs. Mingzhao, as his backer, even if Li Xiangbao's generation doesn't have much potential, he will definitely be able to make it in the next generation.

The more Mrs. Ding thought about it, the more she felt that Li's house was a good place to go, and she became more determined to get out of the hole that Mrs. Ding had dug for her daughter.

Member Ding and Mrs. Ding personally sent Yan Qingqing and the others outside the gate.

After getting on the carriage, Mrs. Xu still sighed and said, "I don't know if Xiang Bao is lucky enough to marry Miss Ding."

Yan Qingqing glanced at Xu, and it seemed that she really liked Ding Xiu, and said with a smile: "Three brothers and sisters, there is a time in life that must be there, but there is no time in life, don't force it.

If two children are destined to be together, it will happen naturally. "

After hearing this, Ms. Xu quickly nodded and replied: "Second sister-in-law is right. I won't think about it for the time being.

Let me go shopping with my second sister-in-law.

It's rare for my second sister-in-law to come out and accompany me on this trip for free. I'll pay for whatever my second sister-in-law wants to buy today. "

Mrs. Xu now has a lot of money in her hands, so naturally she also speaks very tough words.

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "Forget it, keep your money for Xiang Bao as a betrothal gift.

It’s getting late, let’s go back to Canghe Town. "

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu sighed and said: "Anyway, this betrothal gift won't be used for a while, isn't the second sister-in-law going to buy things for going to Beijing?

I can't do much to help, so I can only offer some money to show my appreciation. "

Yuan Huiniang on the side heard the words and smiled and said: "Third Aunt, I just said those words to prevent the situation from being embarrassing.

We don’t lack anything at home, and my mother has almost prepared everything for going to Beijing. "

Mrs. Xu sighed again when she heard this. It seemed that she couldn't spend the money even if she wanted to.

Soon Yan Qingqing and the others returned to Canghe Town.

Yan Qingqing didn't go out for a few days after coming back.

In addition to preparing luggage for Beijing, we also need to plan the development of the workshop in the next few months.

After a few days, Yan Qingqing finally finished her work and planned to officially set off.

Li Yueniang packed up her clothes early in the morning and ran into Yan Qingqing's yard.

Li Yueniang was dressed in men's clothing and looked like a handsome young master from someone's family.

She learned this from Yan Qingqing.

Yan Qingqing just glanced at him, then lowered her head and went about her own business.

Seeing that Yan Qingqing was not in a hurry, Li Yueniang asked, "Mom, aren't we going to the capital today?"

Yan Qingqing said without raising her head: "Yeah, why are you in a hurry? Everyone hasn't arrived yet."

Li Yueniang was a little puzzled. Wasn't it just his second brother and second sister-in-law, plus Xiao Qi? Could it be that there were others.

Yan Qingqing didn't explain to her either.

She also raised a group of people on the mountain, and she planned to take half of them with her when she went to the capital this time.

Mu Xi had already gone to the mountain to choose someone.

Some of them act as their bodyguards, protecting them in the dark.

Most people have to dress up in disguise and enter Beijing without anyone noticing.

For some reason, Yan Qingqing had a hunch that the journey to the capital might not go smoothly.

It was almost noon when Mu Xi came back.

Mu Xi resumed her former guard attire and said to Yan Qingqing, "Madam, everything has been prepared according to your instructions."

Yan Qingqing nodded and said, "Okay, let's set off now."
