Chapter 339 Ask less why and more why
Being laughed at by so many people, Qiu Jincheng and Lin Yuanshen, no matter how thick-skinned they were, could not stay any longer and could only throw away their robes and leave the pavilion.
After the two men left, everyone burst into laughter.
"Sister-in-law, you are amazing!" Shan Xi really thinks her sister-in-law is amazing! "Sister-in-law, how did you come up with those four words?"
Song Qingci had just finished arguing with someone and felt very relieved. He wanted to tease Shan Xi and deliberately asked, "Which four words?"
"That's right, those last four words." Although Shan Xi felt that those four words were very accurate, she herself was a little unable to say them out loud.
"I know, I know! It's the four words 'the one who teases first is the one who is cheap', right?!" Lu Shuangshuang answered immediately.
"So that's it. I just thought of it." Song Qingci couldn't say that it was a popular meme on a certain audio software in modern times.
"That's very well said!" Lu Shuangshuang thought about it carefully and felt that these four words were really accurate.
The originally dull and slightly awkward atmosphere instantly became harmonious because of the confrontation with the two inferior men.
Wei Yanran didn't dare to mention the Feihua Order anymore, so she took the initiative to turn the topic to Song Qingci.
"Mrs. Shan, you are amazing. I almost didn't know what to say just now."
"I'm not that great, it's just that I don't like to trap myself." When Song Qingci spoke, he paid a little attention to Shan Xi.
"What do you mean?" Wei Yanran was puzzled.
"Life is only a few decades long, and there are too many things to do. For example, eating, sleeping, and playing. These all take up a lot of time. In the remaining time, if you worry about a few gossips from others all day long, this is self-trapped."
"I don't like to be trapped. Instead of shutting myself in and torturing myself all day, asking myself why, I would rather go out and ask others why."
Song Qingci's words were truly heretical.
If there was an old scholar present, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
However, today, all the people present were young people. The oldest one, Qiu Jincheng, had already left in anger.
None of the rest, including Song Qingci himself, were over twenty years old.
She is in her teens, like a flower bud.
In modern times, they are a group of middle school and high school students, who are in the process of forming their worldviews. Song Qingci's words had a great impact on them.
What Song Qingci didn't know was that what she said today would really play a very important role in the future.
Shan Xi had always known that her sister-in-law was very powerful, very special, and very kind to her. But after hearing her words, Shan Xi's heart was shaken and changed.
Naturally, it is impossible to hide what happened on their side from those who want to know the news.
Zhao Ma looked at the gloomy face of the Queen Mother, thought for a moment, and advised, "Don't be angry, Queen Mother. If you get angry and hurt yourself, it will be a real sin."
The Queen Mother never imagined that even after she had given them so many warnings, the Qiu family would still dare to make such a mistake.
"Where is Qiu Jincheng now?" the Queen Mother asked in a cold voice.
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, I am outside the palace." Madam Zhao sent people to keep an eye on the garden early in the morning. She knew everything that happened there.
So, when Qiu Jincheng and Lin Yuanshen rushed out of the garden, she ordered someone to take them directly to a side hall.
Lin Yuanshen was not on the chessboard, so he was left in the side hall.
At this moment, Qiu Jincheng was kneeling outside the main hall of the Empress Dowager.
"Bring him in." The Queen Mother rubbed her swollen brows.
This person is really getting worse with each generation. Such a small matter has been turned into such a mess, and she is still needed to clean up the mess.
After Qiu Jincheng was brought in, he immediately knelt down.
When he was taken to the side hall, he woke up instantly.
He thought of the main purpose of his visit to the palace for the banquet today. However, he couldn't help himself and messed up the matter. Now is the time to be afraid.
"I, your humble servant Qiu Jincheng, pay my respects to the Empress Dowager." Qiu Jincheng's voice trembled slightly, revealing his inner fear.
The Queen Mother sat at the head of the table, looking down at Qiu Jincheng who was kneeling on the ground. She did not call him up, but asked directly, "Did Lord Qiu tell you about what happened today?"
With a plop, the beads of sweat on Qiu Jincheng's forehead fell directly to the ground.
After a long while, Qiu Jincheng replied, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, my father has mentioned it to me."
"Oh, so I mentioned it before." The Queen Mother's voice was indifferent, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry. "That means you have other thoughts, Mr. Qiu. Alas, it's my fault for not asking clearly in advance. It's all my fault. Mr. Qiu, please leave the palace and go back. Let's forget about what I mentioned to your father."
After saying this, the Queen Mother waved her hand. When Nanny Zhao saw this, she asked for someone to take the person away.
Seeing this, Qiu Jincheng immediately kowtowed and said, "I was wrong! I had no other intentions! Please forgive me, Queen Mother!"
When Madam Zhao saw him like this, she tactfully stepped back and let him kowtow and beg for mercy.
"'Empress Dowager, I know I was wrong! Please give me a chance to make amends! Please give me a chance to make amends!'"
Qiu Jincheng is now completely sober.
When his father talked to him before, he told him what the Empress Dowager was thinking.
She wanted me to marry the eldest daughter of the General’s Mansion.
Qiu Jincheng was very reluctant at first. Isn't the General's Mansion the home of that bastard Shan Li?
Marry his sister and make him your brother-in-law. Isn't this pure humiliation?
However, my father stressed that this must be done. If not, the Qiu family might be disliked by the Queen Mother. After all, in all these years of seeking refuge, their family really didn't play a big role.
She is just a woman, just marry her and leave her alone. If you like her, go to her room more often, if you don't like her, go less often or not at all.
No one is forcing you to live in harmony with her.
It would be a loss if you don’t do such a good deal.
Qiu Jincheng was finally persuaded by his father.
Moreover, he married his sister. If he wants his sister to live a good life, then he must support him. Otherwise, hehe~
Everything has been thought of.
But today, when he entered the palace and saw Shan Li's incredibly beautiful wife, his brain suddenly became hot.
I don't know how things got out of control afterwards.
