Chapter 360: Successful divorce
While Old Mrs. Huang asked someone to report to Mr. Huang, she held Tong Huaqiong tightly.
She finally had a reason to break off the engagement between her granddaughter and the Lian family, but it was a pity for the girl from the Luo family.
Old Madam Huang said to Tong Huaqiong, "Why is it that my Jingshan's marriage is so unsuccessful? First she was cheated by Fan Tong, and this time she was almost cheated by the Lian family. How coincidental is it that you were the first to discover something was wrong in both cases?"
Tong Huaqiong wanted to escape underground.
What Old Mrs. Huang meant was not to blame Tong Huaqiong for Huang Jingshan's unhappy marriage.
Yes, she also felt that it was such a coincidence that she was the one who interfered with Huang Jingshan’s marriage.
Tong Huaqiong said stiffly, "If bad things don't go away, good things won't come. Fortunately, it was discovered before the wedding and can be saved. Your Jingshan is blessed at first glance, and good things will definitely come to her."
Old Mrs. Huang said, "You are right. This means that the Lian family is not the right match for my granddaughter. To be honest, I never liked the Lian family. This marriage was proposed by her aunt from her maternal grandfather's family. If it wasn't for my daughter-in-law, I would not have agreed to it at all."
Seeing that Old Mrs. Huang was about to bring up the topic of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Tong Huaqiong quickly stopped talking, stood up and was about to leave.
Old Madam Huang held Tong Huaqiong and said, "You can't leave. Big Foot, you were the one who discovered something wrong with my granddaughter's two marriages. This means that you hold her marriage in your hands. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that each marriage was related to you?"
Tong Huaqiong: “…”
Old Mrs. Huang continued, "Please find a good match for my granddaughter."
Tong Huaqiong was holding Lu Zhaoyang's marriage in her hands. Lu Zhaoyang had already expressed his feelings for Huang Jingshan to her. She had originally planned to wait until Huang Jingshan and the Lian family broke off the engagement and confirm Huang Jingshan's feelings for Lu Zhaoyang before proposing a marriage between the two of them.
Now Old Mrs. Huang has pushed Huang Jingshan's marriage directly onto her, and it seems that she is doomed to fail.
Tong Huaqiong asked Mrs. Huang, "Madam, have you found the right person?"
Old Madam Huang said straightforwardly, "I've got a crush on him. He's the young man who came to your house when you were conferred the title of Xiangjun last time."
"Are you talking about the boy from the Lu family?"
Tong Huaqiong understood that Mrs. Huang had fallen in love with Lu Zhaoyang last time at Qinghe Bay.
This coincides with Tong Huaqiong's opinion.
Old Madam Huang smiled happily and said, "He and my Jingshan are a perfect match. Aren't you trying to find a wife for him? My Jingshan is just the right match."
Tong Huaqiong said: "From the perspective of the two children, it is indeed a suitable marriage, but..."
Old Madam Huang interrupted, "No, it's just that the Lu family and our Huang family are a perfect match."
One is a yellow merchant, the other is a rice merchant, not both are merchants, just right!
Tong Huaqiong knew that Old Lady Huang had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. Jingshan is so impressive that she is worthy of the royal family. I meant that this is a marriage proposal for Jingshan. We should ask Jingshan's opinion, right? If she doesn't like it, then it will harm her."
Old Mrs. Huang said, "That's easy. Let's call Jingshan over and ask her first."
He was held down tightly by Tong Huaqiong.
"No, let's cancel the engagement first and then talk about it later."
Old Mrs. Huang was extremely anxious, fearing that Lu Zhaoyang would be spotted by someone and snatched away.
Tong Huaqiong said, "Old lady, since you have taken a fancy to Zhaoyang, I might as well tell you something. Last time in our house, Zhaoyang took a fancy to Jingshan and wanted me to be a matchmaker. I told him that Jingshan was already engaged, and he was very regretful."
When Mrs. Huang learned that Lu Zhaoyang was interested in Huang Jingshan, she smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
No wonder my granddaughter’s marriage is so unsuccessful, it turns out a good marriage is waiting here.
Tong Huaqiong said to Old Madam Huang, "Old Madam, we have to keep the fact that Lu Zhaoyang is interested in Jingshan a secret. When the Lian family's marriage proposal is called off, I will openly propose on behalf of the Lu family. If we propose now and it gets out, we will be in the wrong even though we are clearly in the right."
Tong Huaqiong's words reminded Mrs. Huang.
That’s right, now that the Lian family has done something shameless, it makes sense for the Huang family to cancel the engagement.
Now that she knows Lu Zhaoyang's thoughts, she is not in a hurry.
As for her son and daughter-in-law's thoughts, she believed that they would not refuse as long as they met Lu Zhaoyang.
Old Mrs. Huang was full of gratitude to Tong Huaqiong. Needless to say, if she hadn't known Tong Huaqiong and if she hadn't gone to Qinghe Bay to celebrate Tong Huaqiong being conferred the title of Xiangjun, how could her granddaughter have met Lu Zhaoyang.
Huang Jingshan stood behind Old Lady Huang's screen for a long time, then walked out quietly.
She was originally chatting with Old Mrs. Huang, and when she heard someone talking in the room, she hid behind the screen and heard everything Tong Huaqiong and Old Mrs. Huang said.
Tong Huaqiong spoke a few more words to Old Mrs. Huang, then said goodbye and walked out.
"Aunt Tong." Huang Jingshan came towards her.
Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "Jingshan seems to have lost a lot of weight these days."
Huang Jingshan stood in the snow, with red plum blossoms reflected behind her, giving her an even cooler look like a supermodel.
Huang Jingshan smiled brightly in the light of the snow and said, "Aunt Tong, I just went to my grandmother's room and heard your whispers with her."
Tong Huaqiong instantly understood why Huang Jingshan was waiting for her in the yard. It turned out that she was waiting there on purpose.
Tong Huaqiong asked directly: "So what do you think after hearing those words?"
Huang Jingshan said: "Didn't Aunt Tong say she wanted to ask me what I think? I like Mr. Lu."
After all, she is a girl of this era. After Huang Jingshan finished speaking, she lowered her head and a blush appeared on her face.
Her cool temperament and shy expression created a contrast in Tong Huaqiong's eyes.
Tong Huaqiong smiled.
Huang Jingshan raised her head, then quickly lowered it and asked in a whisper, "Aunt Tong, do you think I'm too... too indecent..."
Which girl takes the initiative to express her love to which man?
Tong Huaqiong said: "What's the big deal? It's a good thing that you dare to actively pursue happiness. You must not be bound by those so-called rules."
Tong Huaqiong thought that this was called being indecent, as Gu Taohua had been chasing Fan Tong all over the street before.
When Huang Jingshan heard Tong Huaqiong say this, she raised her head and smiled.
Tong Huaqiong said, "Jingshan, I know what you are thinking. Once you break off the engagement with the Lian family, I will match you with Lu Zhaoyang."
Huang Jingshan said: "Thank you very much, Aunt Tong."
......
When Mr. Huang learned that the second son of the Lian family had behaved inappropriately and forced a maid to become pregnant and die, he was naturally furious.
However, he did not rashly cancel the engagement. Instead, he went to Moon Bay to inquire about the matter first.
Coincidentally, the person they met was Liu Yuechang. Liu Yuechang brought her to Luo Qiuyu's home and happened to meet Luo Qiuyu's younger brother who went to Lian's home in Pingchuan County to seek justice for his sister and was beaten half to death and carried back.
Mr. Huang was furious and called a doctor to treat Qiuyu's brother. Then he rushed to the Lian family in Pingchuan County to cancel the engagement.
Naturally, the Lian family was unwilling to cancel the engagement.
They thought that every young man was a romantic person, and it was normal for him to have a maid before getting married.
The Lian family sent the pregnant maid away and did not take a concubine because they respected the Huang family and Huang Jingshan.
Compared with other wealthy families, the Lian family has done quite well.
After hearing this twisted logic, Mr. Huang got so angry that he scolded all the members of the Lian family from top to bottom.
But the Lian family firmly disagreed to cancel the engagement.
Finally, the matter was taken to the government, and with the intervention of Magistrate Liu, the two parties were able to successfully cancel the engagement.
