Chapter 256 Sisters Marry Together
Chapter 256 Sisters Marry Together
The next morning, Shangguan Qingyue went straight into her study to paint. She only studied with Zheng Qiao for a few months before leaving the village, and she only learned 30% of his skills.
But it's enough for some sketches.
It was not until near noon that she threw away her charcoal pencil, stretched her body, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the Moon Palace Fairy, which was in full bloom.
The petals were her favorite pink-purple color, and the fragrance was elegant and pleasant. Unexpectedly, she cultivated a new variety of roses on her first try.
It’s a pity that there was only one plant, and it was given to Xuanyuan Yan.
After a little thought, she stood up, found a pair of scissors, cut a small section diagonally from the flower stem, simply soaked it in light salt water for a while, and then put it in a small ceramic pot filled with soil.
She sat at her desk, her hands on her cheeks, staring at the newly grafted flower stem, and began to daydream. She originally planned to give this rose the flower language: pure love, because she thought this flower language complemented the romantic purple.
But since this flower was sent by Xuanyuan Yan, it is not easy to publicize its meaning...
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door. Shangguan Qingyue knew who was coming just by hearing the sound.
"Enter."
Xiangxue, also known as Zhang Da Niu, pushed the door open and walked in. Her movements were almost the same as those of the maids in the mansion, which showed that she had put a lot of effort into practicing in private.
As for Li Dafeng, he changed his name to Shuying and now devoted himself to learning martial arts from the guards in the mansion. He would become Shangguan Qingyue's personal guard after he had learned enough.
"Miss, it's time for lunch. Madam asked you to go to the main courtyard, saying that there are guests coming today."
"Are there guests? Okay, I'll pack up and come over.
By the way, put the flower pot on the table in a well-ventilated and dark place. When the soil is dry, water it with clean water, but don’t use any fertilizer or water.”
Xiangxue took a closer look and asked in a daze,
"Miss, can you live with just a flower stalk?"
"Probably. As long as the pole isn't rotten and black, it should be able to survive."
Now that the weather is getting cooler, it is a good time to plant roses. If it succeeds, it may have other uses in the future. However, this one flower stalk is obviously not enough, and she has to find a way to ask the third prince for a few more.
The guard was afraid of being seen when he delivered the ointment, which showed that the Third Prince didn't want people to misunderstand that he had anything to do with him. So what Shangguan Yunxin said about treating her differently was totally untenable.
Shangguan Qingyue shook her head, interrupting the chaotic thoughts in her mind. She simply washed her hands and face, changed into a more delicate set of clothes, and walked towards the main room.
As soon as she stepped into the main courtyard, she heard the crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground. She immediately quickened her pace, lifted her skirt and walked into the hall, where she saw the mess on the ground and her family members with angry faces.
Today is a day off, and the family is all together. I wonder what happened that made everyone look like they wanted to eat someone?
I turned around and saw a middle-aged couple, with a man beside them, who looked very familiar. Oh—that mama's boy.
The teacup just exploded at Yang Chengping's feet, and he was almost scared to death. Seeing Shangguan Qingyue turned her head to look at him, he could only force a stiff smile.
"Qing, sister Qingyue is here, here she comes."
Baili Nanqing was afraid that her daughter might step on the broken porcelain pieces, so she quickly said:
"Yuer, don't move yet. Liu Mei, quickly call someone to clean up the mess!"
After everything was ready, Baili Nanqing still walked over worriedly, took her daughter's hand, and brought her to sit down beside her.
Madam Yang saw how Baili Nanqing took great care of her daughter, and she knew that the rumors outside were not credible at all. If she was not her biological daughter, how could such a carefree person become so cautious.
He had been very reserved in his words just now, but now he had no more reservations and went straight to the point:
"Now my in-laws have finally got what they wanted and found their biological daughter, which is a great thing!
Our two families have always been good friends, and we are heartbroken to see Xin'er become like this.
But... getting married is the most important thing in life after all. Our Ping'er has been raised in the palm of his grandmother's hand since he was a child. If he marries Xin'er, the old lady will be heartbroken!"
Shangguan Chong's anger was aroused again when he heard this. If his little daughter had not been there and he was worried about scaring her, he would have been rubbing his hands and ready to hit someone!
"You have already said this just now. We are not deaf, so Madam Yang, there is no need to bring it up again. Since you feel wronged, our family is not unreasonable. Let's cancel the marriage today!"
Yang Zhiming, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. He coughed lightly and said:
"Brother Shangguan, you misunderstood my wife's intentions. We have been colleagues for nearly ten years. How could I do such a cold and mean thing?
I was just thinking, thinking... uh, ma'am, you should tell me."
He really couldn't open his mouth, but his tigress insisted on doing so, and he had no choice but to follow her.
Madam Yang quietly twisted her husband's thigh, feeling very disappointed. She changed into a weak look in another second, looked at Baili Nanqing and said:
"Sister Qing, please listen to me carefully.
Although Xin'er's appearance is ruined, our two families have an engagement after all, so... let her be a concubine."
As soon as these words came out, Baili Nanqing reached for the teacup beside her. Fearing that the other party would not care and greet her in the face, Madam Yang hurriedly continued to explain:
"Don't worry, sister, I still have something to say!
Although she is a concubine, Ping'er has always been gentle and kind, and she will not let Xin'er down. Even if he has the guts, as a mother, I will never agree!
Next, don’t worry about the position of the first wife, it won’t be given to another family. We thought that Yue’er is about to reach the age of marriage, why not follow the previous concubine marriage system and marry the two sisters into our Yang family together…”
"Bullshit! I'll beat you to death, you shameless bastards!"
Baili Nanqing was so angry that she picked up the chair and threw it at them. Shangguan Song and Shangguan Lan even grabbed the swords of the guards beside them, wishing they could chop these shameless people into pigs!
Shangguan Yunxin was afraid that her family would be involved in a murder lawsuit because of her, so she immediately shouted to stop them.
"Father, brother, mother, don't worry! We don't need to get involved with such a shameless family. Let's call off the marriage now, and never have any contact with our two families again! Whoever wants this ridiculous position of legal wife can have it, I, Shangguan Yun, treat it like a worn-out shoe!"
Shangguan Song drew out half of his sword and placed it across Yang Zhiming's neck, his voice piercing like a chill wind:
"Lord Yang, you'd better order someone to fetch the engagement gift right now. If you don't see it within half an hour, I, Shangguan Song, will make you lose your head on the spot even if I have to go to jail!
You better believe it!"
Yang Zhiming was shaking like a sieve, his mouth trembling and he glanced at Madam Yang beside him. He didn't dare to move at all, for fear that he would be killed if he was not careful.
"Husband, Madam! Please send someone to get it!"
Madam Yang was also frightened, but she was used to being domineering for many years, so she was unwilling to compromise. Is the Shangguan family crazy? They want to kill people at any time? ! !
"You are an official appointed by the imperial court, and you come from the Ministry of Justice, yet you actually ignore the laws of our Great An Kingdom. This is simply outrageous! I, I want to go to the government office, no, I want to file a complaint with the emperor! I want His Majesty to exterminate your entire family!"
Shangguan Lan was too lazy to talk nonsense with this crazy woman, so he simply drew his sword and pretended to stab her in the heart. When the tip of the sword was less than an inch away from her, she screamed and collapsed to the ground, holding her head, shouting:
"Ah! Don't kill me, don't... I'll take it out right now, the jade pendant is on me!"
