Chapter 10: The Old Lady's Birthday Banquet
Dongfang Qingmo thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.
His hair was burned and had to be shaved off. If he went out now, he would definitely scare others.
Ultimately, it's all because of her.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Qingmo smiled guiltily.
Yu Jing patted the back of her hand gently and said, "Mo'er, when we get to the Cheng residence, follow me closely. I heard that Madam Cheng's grandson has also returned. You can take a closer look..."
Dongfang Qingmo immediately understood what her mother meant. After all, she had already held her coming-of-age ceremony, and it was time to discuss marriage.
However, deep down she still had some resistance to this kind of thing.
On the one hand, she felt that she was only fifteen years old, too young, and having children at such a young age would be harmful to her health.
On the one hand, the ideas and concepts of modern society have long been deeply rooted in her mind, and she hopes to be able to fall in love freely and enjoy a beautiful relationship.
Seeing her daughter's silence and an unhappy look on her face, Yu Jing asked with concern, "What's wrong, Mo'er?"
Dongfang Qingmo pouted, "Mo'er doesn't want to get married. Mo'er wants to stay with mother and father forever!"
Of course Yu Jing didn't want her to get married so early, but a girl should get married after her coming-of-age ceremony, take care of her husband and children, otherwise she would be talked about.
No one will want you if you get any older.
Yu Jing and Dongfang Qiong were not so particular, they were just afraid that Dongfang Qingmo would be criticized by others.
"Mo'er, just pick one and take a look."
Look more and have more choices.
If Mo'er really likes him, she and Dongfang Qiong will get to know each other's personality and background.
Dongfang Qingmo was silent.
She didn't know what to say.
Some things cannot be changed with just a few words.
Yu Jing continued, "Old Madam Cheng's grandson, Cheng Cheng, is the last disciple of Lianlan Sect. He's a top martial artist and I heard he's also very handsome..."
Dongfang Qingmo interrupted her and looked at her aggrievedly, "Mother, is Mo'er annoying at home?"
Yu Jing's heart skipped a beat. "No, how could that be! This will always be your home, but..."
Dongfang Qingmo looked at her, his eyes full of confusion and doubt.
Yu Jing sighed helplessly, "It's just that girls always have to get married. It's an inevitable path in life. Besides, Madam Cheng's grandson is really good. We can meet him first and get to know him. If he's not suitable, we won't force it."
Dongfang Qingmo lowered his head, thinking for a moment, then raised his head and said firmly: "Mother, I know your good intentions, but I want to find my own ideal husband. I also want to be together for life like mother. When I find this person, I will naturally consider marriage."
How about letting her have a relationship?!
She has been single since birth!
Yu Jing looked at her daughter and thought: As a mother, I should support her decision.
A woman should take care of her husband and children early on, and that's what her mother taught her.
It was Dongfang Qiong whom she was lucky enough to meet.
But there are not so many good men in the world, and she often heard that the wife and concubine of someone's family were fighting each other.
She also didn't want Mo'er to marry into such a family.
When she thought of this, she became anxious, always feeling that Mo'er was about to enter a dangerous place.
So, she nodded and said, "Okay, mother respects your decision. However, if you change your mind in the future, you can always tell me."
Dongfang Qingmo glanced at Yu Jing gratefully, then smiled and said, "Thank you, mother."
It is such a blessing to have such an open-minded mother.
Yu Jing touched Dongfang Qingmo's hair and said gently, "Silly child, what are you thanking me for? As long as you are happy, your mother will be satisfied."
As the Dongfang family is wealthy and powerful, it is not a problem for them to support Mo'er for the rest of his life.
Dongfang Qingmo hugged Yu Jing, feeling the warmth and care of her mother, her heart filled with happiness and gratitude.
At this time, the carriage stopped.
"Madam, Miss, we've arrived at the Cheng Mansion." The coachman's voice came from outside.
Dongfang Qingmo let go of Yu Jing, straightened his clothes, and then got off the carriage.
A group of people were standing at the gate of Cheng Mansion, led by a middle-aged woman in purple clothes, who must be Mrs. Cheng.
Yu Jing brought Dongfang Qingmo forward and bowed to Madam Cheng.
"This must be Qingmo, what a beautiful child." Mrs. Cheng said with a smile.
"Mrs. Cheng, you are too kind." Yu Jing said modestly.
"This is my son Cheng Cheng. You young people should have a good chat with him." Mrs. Cheng introduced a young man next to her to Dongfang Qingmo.
Dongfang Qingmo raised his head and glanced at Cheng Cheng.
He was indeed as her mother had said, very handsome and with a good temperament, but she didn't feel attracted to him.
It turns out that the Cheng family also has the idea of marriage.
No wonder mother mentioned it just now.
"Miss Dongfang, I've long heard of your name." Cheng Cheng smiled and clasped his fists towards her.
If he could obtain the resources of Dongfang Mansion, he would surely rise step by step in Lianlan Sect!
"Hello, Mr. Cheng." Dongfang Qingmo just responded lightly.
She clearly saw the surprise and greed that flashed across Cheng Cheng's eyes.
Dongfang Qingmo immediately lost his good impression of him.
Another despicable man who is only after money and sex.
Next, the group walked into the Cheng Mansion.
The furnishings of the Cheng Mansion are quite ordinary and far less luxurious than those of the Dongfang Mansion.
The banquet officially began. The atmosphere was warm and people were laughing and talking.
Old Madam Cheng stood in the center of the banquet hall and addressed everyone with a smile, welcoming and thanking everyone for coming.
Dongfang Qingmo held Yu Jing's hand tightly, walked through the crowded crowd, and came to a relatively quiet corner.
She leaned close to her mother's ear and whispered, "Mom, I really don't like that Cheng Cheng..."
Yu Jing gently patted the back of her daughter's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Mo'er. If you don't like him, no one can force you to accept him."
Hearing her mother's words, Dongfang Qingmo felt a warmth in her heart. She knew that she could rely on her mother's support and protection.
She nodded and smiled with relief, "I feel at ease with what mother said."
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
You have to know that in ancient times, marriages were all decided by parents and matchmakers, and she was really afraid that her parents would force her.
At this time, Cheng Cheng had already wished the old lady a happy birthday. He scanned the crowd in the banquet hall, eagerly looking for Dongfang Qingmo.
Finally, he found the mother and daughter in the corner, and an expression of joy immediately appeared on his face.
He straightened his clothes, tried to remain calm, then put on a confident smile and strode towards them.
Dongfang Qingmo keenly sensed someone approaching. She looked up and saw Cheng Cheng walking towards them.
She frowned and whispered to her mother, "Mom, he's coming..."
Yu Jing turned her head and saw Cheng Cheng at a glance.
His eyes were full of anticipation, and he seemed eager to communicate with them.
Yu Jing couldn't help but frown, feeling puzzled. Why did Cheng Cheng not go to entertain other guests at this time, but come here to look for them?
Didn't he know that he should wait until after the birthday ceremony to talk to them?
Cheng Cheng walked up to Yu Jing and Dongfang Qingmo with high spirits and saluted them: "Mrs. Dongfang, Miss Dongfang."
Yu Jing nodded slightly in response, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone as she asked, "Why is this, Master Cheng?"
The Cheng family intends to use today's birthday party to introduce to everyone his engagement with Miss Dongfang.
Cheng Cheng thought to himself that he was so outstanding and had made a name for himself in Lianlanmen at such a young age. His future was bright.
Cheng Cheng couldn't help but feel puzzled. According to common sense, his parents should have written to Master Dongfang, and they couldn't be unaware of the purpose of his trip.
Moreover, with his current conditions and status, many women were vying to become his concubines, but he was unwilling to accept them.
Now, he has set his eyes on Dongfang Qingmo, which is undoubtedly an honor for the Dongfang Mansion!
Thinking of this, Cheng Cheng puffed out his chest, straightened up, cleared his throat, and said confidently: "Madam Dongfang, my mother sent me here specifically to ask if it is possible to officially announce my marriage to Qing Mo today?"
Dongfang Qingmo looked at him helplessly, muttering in his heart: "This guy is simply a psychopath!"
From the very beginning when they met, she noticed Cheng Cheng's restless eyes looking around, obviously with bad intentions.
Now it seems that it is indeed the case.
Cheng Cheng's eyes kept rolling, as if he was thinking about something.
Dongfang Qingmo couldn't help but frown.
We've only just met once, and we're already getting engaged? Does that mean we'll get married right away if we meet again?
This man really disgusted her.
Lower your head! Lower your head so much!
Fortunately, her mother has promised not to force her!
Otherwise, she would be able to see the end of the rest of her life at a glance.
"what?"
Yu Jing was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. They had originally agreed that they would just take a look today, and whether they were satisfied or not needed to discuss it later.
But she had never expected things to turn out like this! She stared at Cheng Cheng with eyes wide open in disbelief, as if she could see through him.
Cheng Cheng touched his nose. Did he say something wrong?!
"Is this how you do things in the Cheng Mansion?" Yu Jing asked angrily.
Cheng Cheng's brows were slightly displeased, but he still held his temper and said, "Madam Dongfang, announcing it at the birthday banquet is our greatest sincerity!"
"..."
Yu Jing tried hard to control her emotions, "Mr. Cheng, you should go and wish the old lady a happy birthday."
Cheng Cheng felt that she was unreasonable. His pride made him unwilling to give in. She had already spoken, so how could he still refuse to give in?!
"Hmph!" Cheng Cheng flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
"Mom, please don't be so angry. It's not worth it for such a person."
"How can there be such a person! When I get home I'll tell your father to cut off all ties with the Cheng family. It's really outrageous." Yu Jing was so angry that her face turned pale. If today wasn't Madam Cheng's birthday party, she really wanted to pull Dongfang Qingmo away immediately.
Madam Cheng was always kind and would not embarrass her. Therefore, Yu Jing could only suppress her anger.
At the same time, Cheng Cheng walked towards Mrs. Cheng angrily.
"Mother, I want Dongfang Qingmo to be my concubine!" he said gritting his teeth.
Cheng Cheng felt as if he had been slapped in the face by Dongfang Qingmo in public, and was completely humiliated.
He must take revenge on Dongfang Qingmo and let her know the consequences of offending him.
Upon hearing this, Madam Cheng was horrified. She quickly looked around and found that no one was paying attention. Then she lowered her voice and said to Cheng Cheng, "Are you crazy? How could a family like the Dongfang Mansion marry their legitimate daughter to our family as a concubine? This is simply a fairy tale!"
Cheng Cheng certainly understood this, but he couldn't bear it. He glared at Mrs. Cheng fiercely and ordered, "I don't care. You must find a way to help me fulfill my wish."
Mrs. Cheng sighed helplessly, thinking that her son had really gotten into big trouble this time.
"I think announcing my marriage to Dongfang Qingmo at today's birthday party is already giving them enough face!" Cheng Cheng said arrogantly.
"What? How can you say that?!" Mrs. Cheng widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
"Blame me? Isn't that what you planned?" Cheng Cheng retorted righteously.
Madam Cheng's face flushed with anger, and she scolded him angrily, "You can't say that! Everything should be done in a proper manner. You've disrupted our plans!"
Cheng Cheng disagreed and said stubbornly, "I don't care. I want her to be my concubine!"
Madam Cheng was furious and pointed at Cheng Cheng's nose and shouted, "Go and apologize to Madam Dongfang and Miss right now!"
"Mother!?" Cheng Cheng looked at Madam Cheng in shock. "Do you know where I stand in Lianlan Gate now? If you ask me to apologize to them, I won't go!"
"You!" Mrs. Cheng was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Cheng Cheng's nose and couldn't say a word.
He is unwilling to humble himself, but he wants other people's resources and makes his old mother bow her head.
Mrs. Cheng angrily said, "I'll settle the score with you when I get back!" and turned and left.
Cheng Cheng looked at Mrs. Cheng's back with hatred, then turned around and went to complain to the old lady.
Old Madam Cheng was old, so she said a few words at the banquet and then went back to her room to rest.
Originally, she didn't want to hold a birthday party, but her son said it was for Cheng Cheng, otherwise she would not support extravagance.
Cheng Cheng banged on the door vigorously, "Grandma?"
It was Feng Ma, who was beside Old Madam Cheng, who opened the door. "Young Master?"
"Auntie Feng? Where's my grandmother?" Cheng Cheng stretched his head to look into the house.
"Cheng'er? Let him in." Old Lady Cheng's voice came from the house.
Cheng Cheng immediately pushed Feng Ma aside and rushed in. When he saw Old Madam Cheng, he knelt down beside her and said, "Grandma, your grandson has been bullied!"
Old Madam Cheng was surprised, "Who dares to bully my grandson?"
"Two bitches from Dongfang Mansion!"
"Ahem..." Old Madam Cheng was startled, "Cheng'er, don't talk nonsense."
Cheng Cheng said with a look of grievance: "Grandma, they are bullying your grandson. The two bitches of the Dongfang family are bullying your grandson. Grandma, you have to make the decision for your grandson!"
Old Madam Cheng frowned, "Cheng'er, what's going on? Explain it to me clearly."
The person who came to the Dongfang Mansion today was Madam Dongfang, and the Cheng family could not afford to offend her.
Cheng Cheng recounted the entire incident with some exaggeration.
Madam Cheng's complexion became increasingly worse...
