Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 196 Persuasion

But when I saw my mother's embarrassed and angry expression at this moment, I felt sorry for her.

So, he stood up calmly, pulled up Han Qingge who was still kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile, "Cousin Qingge, hurry up, I have a gift for you. You haven't been here these few days, so I saved it for you."

On the other hand, he smiled and said to Lin's two sisters-in-law, "Aunt, aunt, we haven't seen each other for several years. How about you come to my Ruyi Courtyard and have a chat?"

What else could the two sisters-in-law of the Lin family say? They could only take advantage of the situation and bid farewell to Old Madam Pei with a forced smile, then followed Ruyi and Madam Han to Changfeng Garden.

As soon as they left Songhe Hall, they heard the sound of a teacup falling to the ground, which showed that Mrs. Pei was also very angry. They only heard Zhenzhu comforting Mrs. Pei.

The carefully prepared plans of the two Han brothers all fell through. After having a tasteless lunch at the Marquis' Mansion, they returned home dejected.

At this time, Madam Han was sitting in her room, wiping her tears. Ruyi looked at Madam Han sitting in front of the window, sighed softly, sent the maids and servants in the room to the outer room, sat next to Madam Han, held her hand, and said softly.

"Okay, mother, don't cry, I know you are sad. Are you very unhappy now? You feel that your grandmother rejected the marriage directly in front of your aunt and uncle, which is not giving you face and making you embarrassed, right? Are you also regretting now that you didn't listen to your grandfather and insisted on your choice to marry your father, right?

I understand your pain, and I also know that it is not your fault that you are weak, and it is not your fault that you cannot bear the responsibility of the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion. After all, this is not something you can do just because you want to. Who doesn't want to be in better health, to be able to bear the responsibilities of a mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, to be the master of the house, and to be glorious when going out? I understand all of this."

Madam Han's tears flowed even more violently. Ruyi took out a handkerchief from her sleeve pocket, leaned over, and personally wiped Madam Han's tears, and continued, "But, mother, have you ever thought that what you did today was really inappropriate. You are directly slapping your grandmother in the face in front of your family. Do you think that with just this piece of clothing and a pair of shoes, you can make your grandmother recognize this granddaughter-in-law? Do you think it's possible?"

Sighing softly, Ruyi continued, "Grandmother has been on the battlefield and killed people. She is usually straightforward and honest. She hates these kinds of tricks the most. Do you want Grandmother to accept this marriage without knowing it? Do you think Grandmother is stupid? Just because she doesn't like tricks doesn't mean she doesn't understand. She can't do it."

"I don't want her to blindly accept this marriage, I..."

"So you want your grandmother to clearly recognize this marriage. Do you think your grandmother would not dare to reject this marriage, reject you and your aunt in front of you? Do you think she is weak and easy to control?" Ruyi interrupted Madam Han and asked helplessly.

"I don't think she is weak. How could she be weak? She has been strong all her life. I am the weak one." Madam Han wiped her tears and sobbed.

"Since you knew that, why would you still do this? Mother, these days are New Year's Day. My uncle and aunt are here to pay their respects to my grandmother. But look, what have they done in the Marquis' Mansion today? They are plotting against my grandmother. It's the New Year and everything new. You are sitting happily in your own home, but the guests who came to your house have colluded with your eldest daughter-in-law to plot against your grandson's marriage. If you were in her shoes, wouldn't you be angry?" Ruyi looked at Madam Han, feeling very disappointed in her.

"It's not that serious. I thought, she usually doesn't see guests, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to mention it during this meeting. What if she's happy and agrees to it? Qingge is not bad except for her black spots." Madam Han wiped her eyes and stopped crying.

"Mother, this is a big event in my brother Jin's life. Do you think that if grandma is happy, she will agree, and if she is unhappy, she will refuse?" Ruyi was powerless to complain to Madam Han. "Even if grandma was really tricked by you today and accepted the clothes and socks, do you think Mobei's grandfather and father would agree?"

"Why doesn't your father agree? What's wrong with the girls in our Han family?" Madam Han sat up straight and said angrily.

"Mom, is this the time for you to be angry? Do you think Cousin Qingge is worthy of Brother Jin? Not to mention the difference in family background, just looking at appearance, Cousin Qingge is not good-looking." Ruyi said truthfully.

"Qingge is good except for her black spots. She has a good figure and good facial features." Madam Han retorted. "The key is her personality. She is gentle, considerate and caring."

"You also said that her face is dark. Is she a little dark? She is very dark. There is a saying that goes, a white complexion can cover up a hundred uglinesses, but a dark complexion can ruin everything. Cousin Qingge is so dark. If she were in Shangjing City, she would definitely be ranked as the darkest person.

Also, you said she has a good personality, gentle and considerate, how can you tell? Just based on what she did in front of you, serving tea and water? What's the difference between that and what a maid does? Even erotic paintings are prettier than hers. If you think that's gentle and considerate, then you might as well arrange a few more maids to serve Brother Jin." Ruyi looked at him with disdain.

"You..." Madam Han was speechless after being retorted by Ruyi.

"Not to mention whether father agrees or not, he may agree to this marriage for your sake as long as brother Jin doesn't object. But think about grandfather, will he agree? If he knew what happened today, and cousin Qingge really became brother Jin's wife, do you believe it? Grandfather will rush straight to uncle's house from Mobei. If he doesn't beat up uncle, I will take your surname Han." Ruyi hit a straight ball.

Mrs. Han shrank back a little when she thought of her hot-tempered father-in-law. At that time, he opposed her and her husband's marriage, and he really beat Pei Jingyang so hard that he was covered in bruises and lay in bed for more than half a month. It was because Pei Jingyang secretly asked the official matchmaker to bypass him and go to the Han Mansion to propose marriage. At that time, she almost expelled Pei Jingyang from the Pei Mansion, abolished his position as the crown prince, and made him a son-in-law in the Han Mansion.

Mrs. Han's tears began to fall again. Why is it so difficult for the girls of the Han Mansion to get married? She almost had to cut her hair to marry Pei Jingyang, but Qingge had a harder time than her. Looking at her current situation, even if she cut her hair, she might not be able to impress Mrs. Pei and Jin'er.
