Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story
Chapter 94 He Chanling
During the time when Zhao Baozhu was married to the Cui family, Zhao Yuanqing was not idle either. She did one thing, which was to help her good friend He Chanling from her previous life solve her marriage problem.
He Chanling's family is rather complicated. His father He Feng is stationed in the northwest, but his mother Huang is left in Beijing by her mother-in-law Ouyang. He Chanling and her brother He Jin follow their father in the northwest, and the family of four are separated for many years.
He Feng couldn't live without a woman to serve him, so Ouyang asked his concubine Dong to go to the northwest with him. Dong grew up with He Feng, they were childhood sweethearts, and they also had a pair of children.
Ouyang's intention was obvious. She deliberately kept Huang, the main wife, in the capital for many years to match Dong and He Jin, just because Dong was the daughter of Ouyang's sister.
Huang had no words to express her suffering. She also wanted to go to the northwest to reunite with her children, but Ouyang used the label of filial piety to pressure her, and He Jin also disliked her, so she had to stay in Beijing.
The children were all in the northwest, living with Dong. Not only could Huang not find any excuse to make trouble for her, she also had to obediently send the income from the mansion to her on time, for fear that she would torture her children.
Although Huang stayed in the capital, she still had a brother-in-law in the mansion, and her sister-in-law Lin was in charge of the household affairs. She had no say at all and was completely marginalized and had no power at all. She was only slightly better than a nanny.
Over time, Huang gave up the idea of fighting for power and pleasing men, and only hoped that her children's marriages would go smoothly and that they would not suffer as much as she did in the future.
Huang rarely went out on weekdays, and left most of the social matters to Ouyang and Lin. She herself was not very familiar with the young men in the capital, so the task of finding a husband for He Chanling fell into the hands of Ouyang and Lin.
On this day, Ouyang called Huang and He Chanling and told them that she had chosen a husband for He Chanling, Qin Da, the second son of Qin Qihai, the Shaoqing of Taifu. The Qin family was also very satisfied with He Chanling, and they would choose an auspicious day in a few days to exchange the engagement letter.
Huang was shocked. "Mother, Chanling and I have never heard of this Mr. Qin, nor have we ever met him. How can we be engaged?"
Ouyang said impatiently, "You stay at home all day, how can you hear about Master Qin?"
Huang said, "It was you who said, mother, that I don't need to go out. Just my sister-in-law is enough."
Ouyang slammed her cane down hard, and with a thud, "It's done!"
Huang closed her mouth.
"I didn't let you go out because you're dumb and can't speak. If you had a fraction of Lin's eloquence, I'd take you out every day!"
Lin covered her mouth and smiled, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Young Master Qin is the second son of the Minister of the Imperial Household. He is fair and handsome, good at studying and has a good temper. I made inquiries about him, and he is exactly what Chan Ling wants."
It sounded good, but Huang was absolutely unwilling to agree to it without meeting the person. She didn't want her daughter to follow in her footsteps.
"Sister-in-law, I know you have good intentions, but I've never met this person before, and I'm really worried."
Lin glanced at Ouyang, who had a complicated look in her eyes. She said, "I know you care about Chanling. Never mind. I'll go talk to the Qin family and find a chance for you two to meet."
Huang said happily, "Thank you, mother."
After returning to the house, Huang told He Chanling the news. He Chanling pouted and said, "Mom, forget it. I don't want to marry a scholar anymore."
Huang was surprised and asked, "Why? Didn't you say you don't like men who practice martial arts, but only like scholars?"
"That was in the past. During my time back in Beijing, I've come into contact with some scholars. I feel that they talk a lot about morality, but in reality, they do dirty things. They are not as direct as those warriors. So I don't want to get married."
"This Young Master Qin is different from those ordinary scholars. Let's meet him first before making a decision."
"Ok."
Ouyang and Lin quickly arranged a meeting at the Lotus Garden in Yonglefang. Huang and others sat in the front, He Chanling was behind the screen, and Qin Da came to meet them.
Huang was very satisfied after seeing him. He was indeed a handsome young man with good looks, literary talent, and good manners. He was very respectful to Huang.
He Chanling was also very satisfied. Young girls all like handsome boys. Qin Da was good-looking, and He Chanling blushed when she saw him.
The screen was carved from camphor wood and had a long hollow. The young man's smiling eyes searched along the gap and looked into the girl's wide-open almond eyes. The girl blushed slightly and turned her head away, but quickly looked back. The two pairs of eyes met for a while, and the girl couldn't bear it anymore and turned away shyly again.
Qin Da raised the corners of his mouth and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Both parties were very satisfied with the meeting. After returning home, Ouyang urged to exchange the engagement letter. Huang finally agreed, wrote He Chanling's horoscope, and gave it to Lin in exchange for Qin Da's engagement letter.
He Chanling and Qin Da are both not young anymore, so the wedding date is set for three months later.
Zhao Yuanqing also heard about this. She frowned and thought, in her previous life, He Chanling married not Qin Da, but the second son of the General of the Central Army. The man died just after the marriage, and He Chanling remained a widow for his whole life. How did things change in this life?
He Chanling and Zhao Yuanqing are of similar age and grew up together. Later, He Chanling went to the northwest and they had less contact, but He Chanling is a very good person and Zhao Yuanqing doesn't want her to get into trouble.
Zhao Yuanqing vaguely remembered that in her previous life, after He Chanling got married, her second uncle was promoted. Her mother Huang later went to the northwest, but unfortunately she died not long after arriving there, leaving He Chanling alone.
The biggest side effect of rebirth for Zhao Yuanqing is that he thinks more ahead about everything and thinks the worst of people.
I heard that this marriage was arranged by Lin. He was the second son of a fourth-rank civil official. With such good conditions, why didn't Lin let her own daughter marry him? Her daughter was the same age as He Chanling, and she didn't have an engagement either!
There must be something strange. No, I have to check it out.
Zhao Yuanqing called his retainer Feng Yan over and said, "Go and ask about Qin Qihai's second son, Qin Da. The more details the better. And by the way, ask about the Qin family's affairs as well."
"Yes, princess."
Feng Yan used to be a scout, so it was no problem for him to get information. He first took a walk around the street. The reputation of the Qin family was normal. The only unusual thing was that the three daughters-in-law of the Qin family did not like to go out.
Qin Qihai had four sons, two legitimate sons and two illegitimate sons. Except for the second legitimate son Qin Da, the other three sons were married. However, it was said that the Qin family had strict family rules and the daughters-in-law did not often go out.
In particular, the wife of the eldest son Qin Meng has been bedridden for many years and has rarely gone out since their marriage.
Feng Yan found it strange when he heard this. It would be fine if one daughter-in-law didn't come out, but how could three daughters-in-law not come out? Civil officials valued their wives' social skills the most. Without the wives' help, how could the Qin family maintain their official positions?
Feng Yan had some martial arts skills, so climbing over walls and eavesdropping were no problem for him. The Qin family was made up of scholars, and they only had a few sturdy guards who could not stop him at all.
So, after dark, Feng Yan climbed into Qin's house and eavesdropped all night.
Three days later, Feng Yanlai replied to Zhao Yuanqing, "Princess, there is a problem with the Qin family."
"what is the problem?"
