Chapter 416: I Can’t Stand Her Being Arrogant
As expected, Qi Bailing did not just talk to Meng Yan. She knew that there were many women who had designs on the unmarried man of the Qi family today. After returning, she thought about it and specially got a few trusted servants to help her spread some rumors. She then found a few women to persuade them one by one.
Qi Bailing had always thought that everything she did was done quietly, but it was all done under Qi Yihan’s nose.
Seeing that today was a big day for First Master, Qi Yihan didn’t plan to do it himself. Instead, he told First Master about it and said, “First Brother, you can decide for yourself. If you don’t stop Bailing, our entire Qi family will be embarrassed.”
First Master didn’t believe that his daughter would do such a thing. He felt that Qi Yihan was just spouting nonsense. “How could Bailing scheme against her Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law? Fourth Brother, even if you don’t like Bailing, you can’t slander her like that.”
Qi Yihan looked at him coldly. “If you don’t believe me, I won’t interfere as long as you promise to be responsible for whatever Bailing does.”
“I’ll take responsibility.”
First Master looked at Qi Yihan and continued, “Fourth Brother, don’t forget that today is my son’s wedding day. It’s a joyous occasion for my family. You just have to be responsible for the safety of the Qi family and help entertain the guests. You don’t have to worry about anything else.”
Qi Yihan looked at First Master with a sharp gaze and said coldly, “If First Brother said so.”
With that, he walked out.
After Qi Yihan walked out, he sent a recording to Butler Wang and said to him, “Butler Wang, play this recording to Father.”
After the old man heard what First Master said, his expression was so dark that it was as if he was going to kill his son in the next second.
Butler Wang looked at his expression and asked carefully, “Master, do you want me to tell First Master? Fourth Master can’t possibly spout nonsense. He must have seen what Fourth Miss did and told First Master. If First Master doesn’t listen to Fourth Master, the situation might get out of hand.”
The old man snorted and said with a straight face, “Get that illegitimate son to see me.”
Butler Wang did not know why the old man wanted to see Qi Lingxuan. He quickly called to inform him.
Qi Lingxuan came straight to the old man’s house.
The old man looked at him sharply and asked, “Just now, your Fourth Uncle told me that Bailing wants to ruin your Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law’s wedding. What do you think?”
Qi Lingxuan looked into the old man’s eyes and said, “Then stop her from ruining it. If anything happens to Second Sister-in-law, the entire Qi family will be embarrassed.”
The old man continued to look at him for a few seconds.
When Qi Lingxuan just came back, he was scared to look Old Master in the eye. Now, he showed no fear at all. If he was the son of the Qi family’s legal wife, Old Master would definitely train him well. What a pity.
He would never allow the Qi family’s bloodline to be impure.
“In that case, you’ll handle this matter.”
Qi Lingxuan’s eyes flickered and he sneered in his heart. When the old man looked over, he nodded. “Yes, Grandpa.”
With that, he left.
Looking at the departing figure, the old man narrowed his eyes.
Butler Wang, who heard their conversation in the courtyard, hesitated for a moment before going out to tell Butler Zhang.
Butler Zhang immediately told Tang Li about it.
When Tang Li heard that, she did not seem to mind at all. “Isn’t it better if Father asks Qi Lingxuan to handle this? It’ll save Yihan the trouble of dealing with a junior.”
Butler Zhang thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he told her about the gossip he heard this morning.
“This time, many people brought their unmarried daughters over. Their main goal is the other young masters.”
“Sure. Didn’t Second Sister-in-law ask me to hold a matchmaking banquet for her two sons a few days ago? This is just perfect.”
Butler Zhang also felt the same. He quickly told Tang Li which ones were suitable to marry into the Qi family, which ones had special hobbies, or which ones were too ambitious to marry into the Qi family.
Tang Li thought for a moment and said to Butler Zhang, “How about this? Get someone to make a list of these unmarried women and send it to Second Sister-in-law.”
Butler Zhang nodded and went out to handle this matter.
Tang Li only appeared at breakfast.
Many guests came yesterday, so everyone ate breakfast in another large dining room.
When Tang Li walked into the dining room, everyone was still chatting casually. Many women surrounded Second Madam and Third Madam to suck up to them.
The moment Tang Li entered, everyone came and greeted her.
Instantly, Second Madam and Third Madam were neglected.
Second Madam felt a little displeased and could not help but say sourly, “These people are really snobbish. Fourth Sister-in-law is the wife of the head of the family. They were so enthusiastic when they saw her come in. They were never so enthusiastic to us just now.”
Third Madam added, “Second Sister-in-law, that’s not right. Fourth Sister-in-law is the wife of the head of the family. It’s only polite for everyone to greet her when they see her come in.”
Second Madam glanced at Third Madam, and her expression changed before she said sarcastically, “Third Sister-in-law seems to be very close to Fourth Sister-in-law now.”
Third Madam looked back at Second Madam and said to her seriously, “Second Sister-in-law, Fourth Sister-in-law has never taken the initiative to cause trouble for us. It should be said that we were the ones who caused trouble for her in the beginning. However, she has never taken it to heart. She is such an easy-going person. Why should we keep making things difficult for her?
“Don’t you think that making things difficult for her is equivalent to making things difficult for us?”
When Second Madam heard this, she wanted to refute it, but she couldn’t think of anything to say. In the end, she could only shut her mouth and say, “Anyway, I don’t like how arrogant she is.”
“Arrogant?” Third Madam smiled and said, “Fourth Sister-in-law is about twenty years younger than us. She’s so young, beautiful, and very capable. What’s wrong with her being a little arrogant? Don’t you think that all the young people in our family are arrogant?”
“Nonsense!” Second Madam wanted to refute again.
Third Madam did not want to talk to her anymore. She stood up and walked towards Tang Li.
Second Madam sat there, feeling a little angry and displeased from being isolated.
