Chapter 461 The heroic scholar and his neighbor, the pretty widow (bushi)
The heroic scholar and his neighbor, the handsome widow (bushi)
Si Shuyi held a grudge after being scolded that day.
She is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. How could she have ever suffered such injustice?
"Have you found out? Who is that person?"
"I have checked it out, young lady. The man's name is Song Ning, and it seems that he is really engaged to the young master."
"what?"
Si Shuyi stood up suddenly, unable to believe it.
"Dad, have you gone crazy? That guy looks like a country boy. Why would he marry my brother? My brother is the son of a marquis. How can he marry a guy like that? No, absolutely not."
Si Shuyi was so angry that she smashed a whole set of cups in the room.
"Miss, calm down."
Wanyun, the maid beside her, came over and patted her back. Si Shuyi pushed her hand away, leaving a red mark on her fair wrist.
"Get lost! How can I calm down? It's all your fault for being useless, otherwise why would I embarrass myself in front of outsiders!"
Wanyun's gentle face suddenly became extremely ugly, but she quickly adjusted herself the next second and soothed her with clever words.
"It's my fault, but young lady, this is not the time to say these things. Think about it, if the Marquis is protecting that one so much, then won't he really marry the eldest young master? The most urgent thing is to mess up this marriage. Otherwise, if he becomes your eldest sister-in-law in the future, how will you live your life in the future?"
Si Shuyi shuddered.
"you're right."
We must not let this marriage happen!
"But this is Dad's decision, what can I do?"
Si Shuyi quickly lost her temper. How could a young lady like her stop her father?
There was a flash of calculation in Wanyun's eyes, and her tone was gentle but calculating and ruthless.
"Miss, don't forget that the eldest young master's birthday is in a few days. The eldest young master's marriage may be decided on that day and announced to everyone. If you don't do something, you will really have to let that country bastard bully you in the future."
"What? He dares!" Si Shuyi slammed the table angrily, her hands and eyes turned red.
"Why wouldn't he dare? Miss, don't forget, wasn't Mingqin in our mansion driven out by the Marquis just because of his words?" Wanyun seduced slowly.
"He has not even married the eldest young master yet, and he dares to act so arrogantly relying on the Marquis. If he really marries the eldest young master, who else in this mansion will he take seriously in the future? Miss, you have to think carefully. This marriage must not be accepted."
Si Shuyi really fell into her trap. "Then, then what can I do? Only my father has the final say on my eldest brother's marriage. It's useless for me to say anything."
Wanyun lowered her eyes, "But Miss, can you find a way to stop this marriage? If the Marquis knew how despicable that person was, would he still agree to let the young master marry him?"
Si Shuyi hesitated, "What do you mean?"
She somewhat understood what Wanyun meant, but what should she do?
"Dad has been blinded by him now, otherwise he wouldn't have sided with him last time." Si Shuyi said with some grievance.
Wanyun smiled slightly and leaned over to whisper a few words.
Si Shuyi's expression changed from surprise to contemplation and finally to indecision.
"Can this be done? It's my eldest brother's birthday party. If Dad knew that I disrupted the party, wouldn't he be mad at me?"
Useless trash.
Wanyun felt contempt in her heart, but she had to be patient and continue to coax Si Shuyi.
"Miss, you are wrong to think so. Even if the Marquis finds out, you are doing it for the good of the eldest young master. The Marquis will at most say a few words to you, but won't his real anger be directed at that person? Maybe when the Marquis calms down and comes to his senses, he will give you credit for it. The same goes for the eldest young master. Won't he also remember your kindness?"
"Yes, I did this for my father and elder brother."
Si Shuyi was persuaded. She was not doing this for herself, but because her father was deceived!
"Then tell me, how are we going to give him the drug? You have to arrange the drug for me when the time comes. There is no such low-class stuff in the mansion."
Wanyun's expression froze and she clenched her fists.
Who are you calling a despicable person?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Si Shuyi pushed her. Wanyun was not paying attention and hit her lower back on the table.
"Oh, why are you so careless? I didn't mean it," Si Shuyi immediately shirked responsibility and muttered, "I was asking you a question, and you didn't respond on purpose. It's your own fault."
Wanyun lowered her eyelids to hide the resentment in her eyes and squeezed out a sweet sound from her throat.
"It was my own carelessness, young lady. However, the plan of drugging needs further consideration. I have no problem preparing the drugs, but young lady needs to find two reliable servants, preferably strong and trained. Otherwise, how can we control that one and make him look ugly in front of the guests?"
"Okay, I understand."
Si Shuyi felt very relieved just thinking about that scene.
Humph, just wait!
The Zhennan Marquis Mansion was quiet for two days, and Song Ning was also quiet for two days.
He has been feeling a little absent-minded for the past two days.
That guy's words and that kiss always made him very concerned. Every time he wanted to lie down and rest, that scene would appear in his mind.
There is another thing that Song Ning also cares about.
He found that the peeping gaze from before was not only still there, but was now particularly blatant.
"Young Master, this is some food my master asked me to bring you."
You see, it’s not just blatant, it’s simply outrageous!
Song Ning complained in his heart, but couldn't help but smile on his face.
"Humph, who asked him to give it to you? Take it back."
Fuqin just pretended not to hear.
In the past two days, she had been staring at the future master openly under the order of her master. She had long discovered that the master obviously also had feelings for her, but he was just throwing a tantrum because of her master's anger.
She blessed herself.
"I can't be the master of this. This is the food that the master prepared personally. She said that it must be delivered to you, young master."
Did that person do it himself?
Song Ning was a little shaken, and his eyes swept over the bowl of noodles that Fuqin put down.
The noodles were still steaming, with big chunks of meat and golden eggs spread on top, and some chopped green onions dotted around, making it look very pretty.
It looks like it's delicious.
Song Ning silently touched his stomach and suddenly felt hungry.
"Since he is so sincere, I will give him some face."
He came over silently, picked up the chopsticks and took a small bite.
good to eat!
The noodles were chewy and the soup was delicious and fragrant. Once Song Ning started eating, he couldn't stop and started eating in big mouthfuls.
Fuqin breathed a sigh of relief, at least she had persuaded the young master to eat it.
But she also felt a little sorry for the young master in her heart. She had been keeping a close eye on him these past few days and discovered that the Zhennan Marquisate had even neglected the young master's food and drinks. It was as if the entire huge mansion had no idea that there was anyone here. It was simply outrageous!
