Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 297: The Concubine’s Daughter Defies Heaven and Changes Fate (37)
The old lady sat on the high hall, her eyes fell on Shi Qing, and said in a deep voice.
"Even though the Madam did something wrong today, you are also at fault in this matter. If Ling'er hadn't asked me to go to Zhuyuan, I would have been punished today."
Shi Qing was surprised. It turned out that Xie Beiling had secretly invited the old lady over. She thought that the old lady had come specially to help her.
Shi Qing bowed, only to hear the old lady say, "I'm sure you can see the affection that the Second Master has for you. Girl, I know you're a concubine's daughter in the Prime Minister's mansion. Even though I can't give you the courtesy of a legitimate wife, I will still hold a grand wedding for you and Ling'er, with all the necessary formalities. As long as you stay by the Second Master's side, what do you think?"
The old lady's words were so persuasive that it was unclear whether they were a temptation or a test.
Shi Qing did not answer immediately, but just raised his eyes and looked at the old lady calmly.
"Madam, this is no small matter. Please allow me a few days to think about it. I will give you a reply."
The old lady didn't embarrass Shi Qing. She smiled and said, "Well, you've been frightened today too. Jiarong, send some of the bird's nests cooked in the kitchen to Miss Jiang. Also, get some of my finest jewelry from my storeroom for her."
There was a flash of surprise in Jiarong's eyes. The old lady actually valued this girl. It seemed that this girl was very likely to be the future second wife.
She didn't suspect anything and after receiving the order, she hurried to the warehouse to get the jewelry.
Shi Qing went straight back to the orange garden. Nanny and Qingyou breathed a sigh of relief to see her return safely, and said in surprise.
"Thank goodness you're okay. I thought the eldest lady wouldn't forgive you. I was scared to death."
Qingyou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought about what happened in Zhuyuan. He couldn't help but feel a little frightened. Only Shi Qing had the courage to provoke the eldest lady.
Hearing that there was a commotion at the eldest lady's place, Qingyou felt a little frightened.
However, Qingyou didn't know the details. After all, it was too embarrassing, and Zhuyuan would not spread it.
"Before you came back just now, the Second Master said that you should go see him when you come back. You'd better go quickly."
Qingyou was worried. Erye had been relatively stable recently, but his dark face looked a little scary today.
"I'll go and take a look. I'll tell you some gossip when I come back!" Shi Qing blinked. This was a unique gossip.
Qingyou looked forward to hearing this and nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll wait."
Shi Qing walked briskly to the attic and smelled a faint fragrance from a distance, as well as a light scent of ink.
Shunxin was holding a fruit plate in her hand. Seeing Shiqing coming, she smiled and said, "Miss, you are finally here. The Second Master has been waiting for a long time. Please come up quickly."
He smiled and made faces, looking a little strange. Shi Qing scratched his head and pushed the door open without asking any questions.
In the attic, when Shi Qing pushed the door open, she saw the red wedding dress hanging on a shelf in the middle of the master bedroom. Her eyes flashed with surprise.
The embroidery on the phoenix coronet and bridal robe was sewn with gold thread. The peony embroidery was lifelike, and the pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on the red veil was also extremely beautiful.
Before she could retract her smile, a man's mellow voice came from beside her, which sounded somewhat pleasant.
"You're here."
Shi Qing nodded and her eyes met Xie Beiling's, but his peach blossom eyes were naturally affectionate, so she looked at him for two seconds and then looked away feeling guilty.
Shi Qing asked curiously, "Is Second Master getting married? I wonder who your future wife will be. A girl who can match Second Master must be the most beautiful girl in the world, right?"
Although she was a little surprised that she had to change her target before she succeeded in hugging Xie Beiling, it didn't matter. As long as Xie Beiling didn't interfere in her revenge, it was enough.
After hearing what Shi Qing said, Xie Beiling couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. He didn't comment on Shi Qing's thoughts. After all, what she said was not wrong.
"Yes, she is the best girl in the world. If nothing goes wrong, they will get married next month. As for who she is..."
Xie Beiling did not answer directly, but pushed the wheelchair indifferently to the bronze mirror, picked up the bronze mirror and handed it to Shi Qing.
Shi Qing suddenly looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and was stunned and caught off guard. She pretended to be stupid and took two steps back, full of doubts.
"Second Master, you must be joking. The noble lady you're marrying isn't me, is she?"
Tuanzi's voice sounded at the right time, and even the ancient style BGM played in Shi Qing's sea of consciousness.
[Host, you're going to fall in love! ]
Shi Qing, "..."
Can this unreliable dumpling be resold for two dollars?
This Tongzi who only knew how to make trouble gave her a headache.
Xie Beiling said in a deep voice, "You and I will eventually get married, but I don't have a woman in mind. If you marry me, you can do whatever you want. I will never restrict you. How about it?"
Shi Qing raised his eyebrows. It sounded a bit tempting, but he felt that it was full of routine.
There was another story line in the original plot. The original owner's uncle had made military achievements in the north and was about to return to the capital. She originally wanted to wait until then to leave the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. However, Xie Beiling's proposal of cooperation made Shi Qing have other ideas.
"Second Master, I am now a maid in the Duke's Mansion. Our status is very different. Please don't joke around."
Xie Beiling laughed angrily. He rolled his eyes at Shi Qing and said speechlessly.
"Are you kidding? Don't you know that when my legs were more seriously injured, you directly fought with me? How could it be seen that you were worried about the difference in status?"
Shi Qing felt ashamed. After all, she was not a punching bag. It was her nature to seek revenge. However, it was useless to refuse now.
Xie Beiling looked at her with sharp eyes. Bai Ruoli had nowhere to hide and felt very guilty.
After thinking about it for a long time, she finally considered the matter again and again and said in a deep voice.
"Since Second Master has said so, it would be against the rules for me to refuse. So, why not make three rules?
I don't need a grand wedding for you and me to get married now. Just getting engaged and being married is enough. After the matter is settled, we can go our separate ways, okay?"
Shi Qing was thoughtful, but Xie Beiling's eyes looked a little unhappy, and it was obvious that he was not happy. So she thought of something and took the opportunity to speak.
"Not only that, there is one more thing you must promise me, otherwise I can't agree."
Xie Beiling gnashed his teeth, "Could it be that you want to keep a concubine? Jiang Qingqing, you can't push your luck!"
Shi Qing coughed lightly and quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. It's just that a few days ago I found you the best doctor in the capital. His surname is He, and he's an excellent doctor. Why don't you let him treat your leg injury?"
Xie Beiling's expression was gloomy, and he laughed at himself, "I've tried everything. I've given up hope. Whether I get better or not is not important anymore."
Shi Qing pondered for a moment, and inexplicably felt a little sorry for him in her heart, but she could not compromise on this matter, this was her bottom line.
"If you don't agree to me, then forget it."
Shunxin was waiting outside the door and was getting a little anxious. Miss Jiang was really stubborn. If it weren't for the fact that my leg was injured, how could I let her get away with it?
But he couldn't understand what I was thinking. Miss Jiang was very skilled in martial arts. What if she bullied me in the future and I couldn't beat her?
Xie Beiling held onto Shi Qing's hand tightly and said in a serious tone, "I agree to everything you say, as long as you agree to this marriage."
Seeing his stubborn look, Shi Qing really thought for a moment that he liked her, but she had been using Xie Beiling, except for occasionally showing a little heartache.
"It's a word."
On the night of his engagement with Shi Qing, Xie Beiling entrusted all his wealth to Shi Qing. Shi Qing originally thought that although he was the second master of the Duke's Mansion, he must have only a little gold and silver in his hands.
Unexpectedly, when Xie Beiling took out all the property under his name, Shi Qing was surprised to find that her future husband actually had hundreds of thousands of gold and silver. Many shops in the capital were under Xie Beiling's name. No wonder he had no worries about food and drink.
Shi Qing blinked in surprise and swallowed his saliva, "Are these all for me?"
Xie Beiling nodded and smiled calmly, "If not for you, who else can I give it to?"
Shi Qing accepted all the things and felt very satisfied. In short, he felt very happy.
Looking at her money-loving look, Xie Beiling couldn't help but smile, and felt inexplicably happy.
He hid his thoughts and never told anyone about the efforts he had made to marry her.
"I'll have someone come to your house tomorrow to show you your legs, and you're not allowed to tease me."
Xie Beiling pinched Shi Qing's cheek and said solemnly, "Tomorrow, I will ask the prefect of Jingzhao to come to my house to officiate the wedding. After we go to the government office to register, I will also ask the doctor to come to my house. How do you think?"
Shi Qing touched his chin. Was he afraid that he would run away?
But it had no effect on her. Shi Qing thought that he would be the one who benefited from the marriage anyway.
"Then follow the Second Master's arrangement."
Xie Beiling took out a beautiful water-colored bracelet from somewhere. The crimson bracelet was very beautiful. He handed the bracelet to Shi Qing and said lightly.
"The Duke's caravan returned a couple of days ago, and I picked out a crimson bracelet from it. Do you think it looks good on you?"
Shi Qing stretched out her hand. Xie Beiling looked at her snow-white wrist and gently put on the crimson bracelet. The crimson color of the bracelet made Shi Qing's wrist look even whiter, making it impossible to look away.
She curled her lips and said, "It's really beautiful."
Xie Beiling looked at her without looking away. Seeing that Shi Qing didn't react, he said softly, "Qingqing, I gave you the token of love. Do you have anything prepared for me?"
Shi Qing was confused, remembering that she had sharpened a jade ring when she was bored last time, which happened to be something she wore with her. After a slight hesitation, she took out the jade ring and put it on Xie Beiling's thumb.
"Tomorrow, let Qingyou clean up the villa. How about we live out here after we get married?"
Shi Qing shook his head. "If I move out, many things will be inconvenient. I'd like to stay in the Duke's Mansion for the time being. How about leaving after things are settled?"
Xie Beiling did not force him. He knew Shi Qing had his own ideas and he would not force anyone.
"Okay, everything is as you say."
The matter was settled, and Shi Qing was quite happy about it. He originally thought that only the old lady knew about it, but in less than three days, the entire Duke's Mansion knew about it.
Qingyou learned about this and asked mysteriously when Shi Qing came back to pack his bags.
"Qingqing, you and the Second Master are together?"
Qingyou was so shocked that she couldn't express it in words. After all, Shi Qing had never revealed anything about Xie Beiling, so she was naturally shocked by such a sudden event.
"Could it be that the old lady forced you to do this? Qingqing, you have to think carefully. Once you enter the marquis's family, it's like entering a deep sea. What's more, there is Jiang Xianyu watching closely."
Shi Qing didn't want to give anyone a chance to criticize him, so even if it was just a contract, he had to abide by the rules.
"She's just a concubine, so I don't think anyone will argue with her. Don't worry. No one can control me if I don't want to."
Qingyou let out a long sigh and said to Shi Qing with some excitement in her heart.
"It's wonderful that you can find your own happiness now. Although the Second Master has a leg injury, he is still a very good person. My dear, I hope you will have a peaceful and smooth life from now on."
Qingyou's face was full of sincere blessings. Shi Qing smiled and thanked her, saying that he would definitely give her a big red envelope on the day of their wedding. Qingyou put the ten taels of silver that she had saved for a long time in her purse and handed it to Shi Qing solemnly.
"Qingqing, I don't have much money. This is half of my fortune. Consider it my gift. You can't refuse it, or I'll be angry."
The girl said seriously that the silver coins were heavy, just like Shi Qing's heart.
Qingyou is kind-hearted after all. Even in this situation, she still cares about me and is a rare close friend.
Shi Qing accepted the silver and looked at Qingyou sincerely, she said softly.
"With Qingyou's auspicious words, you and I will be happy."
Qingyou felt inexplicably sad. She hugged Shi Qing gently and said with emotion.
"That's great! From now on, you'll have the Second Master's support. The Young Madam and the Crown Prince will never bully Qingqing again. You can finally live a good life."
Seeing her best friend’s marriage go smoothly, Qingyou was so excited that she wanted to cry.
Shi Qing didn't know how to comfort the little girl, so he had to agree to go shopping with Qingyou tomorrow to buy rouge and powder together.
Qingyou was indeed happy after hearing this and said with a smile, "Okay."
But Shi Qing knew that no matter how comfortable it was in the Orange Garden, Jiang Xianyu must have had a sleepless night.
She had been doing evil in secret, hoping to use Lady Wang, the wife of the Duke, to suppress herself. Now that she knew that Xie Beiling was going to marry her as his concubine, she must be so angry that she would die.
*
Jiang Xianyu did not wait for the news that Shi Qing was punished, but only waited for the news that Xie Beiling and Shi Qing were married.
When Nanny Zhou told Jiang Xianyu the news, she was so angry that she overturned the pregnancy-preserving medicine and threw it on the ground.
The scalding medicine splashed on Nanny Zhou's hand. She gasped in pain, but did not show it on her face.
"Even if Xie Beiling is a cripple, he can't possibly marry a maid as a dowry, right? Could it be that Madam Zhou's news is wrong?"
Nanny Zhou quickly explained, "I heard this from the young lady who served the old lady. How dare I lie? Please, young lady, please understand."
Jiang Xianyu felt a little frustrated and said unwillingly, "How could she be allowed to turn over? Why hasn't mother sent a message yet? It would be better if Xia Shi died. Jiang Qingqing doesn't deserve anything!"
Not far away, Hongxiang's charming voice was heard.
"Young Madam, please don't be angry. I have good news for you. I'm sure you will be happy."
