The ancestor of the LAN family naturally would not turn the tables. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he still sat on the guest seat.
Qing Shaocheng asked the juniors to greet the ancestor of the LAN family one by one. Yun chujiu realized that the big house was not attended by anyone.
However, it was also true that the family scandal could not be exposed. Qing Shaocheng naturally would not make things uncomfortable for himself.
The ancestor of the LAN family also tactfully did not ask, as if he did not know that the Qing family had a large house.
However, he did not expect that Qing yuande would bring the Zheng Shi and Qing si in before the banquet had officially started.
Qing Shaocheng’s expression immediately turned gloomy. However, he could not chase the three out in front of outsiders, so he could only pretend to be concerned and said,
“Yuan de, are you feeling better? If you can’t Hold On, you should go back and rest.”
pandasnovel.com Qing yuande said lightly, “Thank you for your concern, second uncle. I’m already better. With an important guest coming, it’s not good for our eldest house to avoid meeting him.”
Qing Shaocheng was annoyed, but he could not say anything.
Qing yuande walked to the front of the Lan family’s ancestor and bowed. He only greeted him politely and did not say anything else.
Qing Shaocheng was slightly relieved. Although he was sure that the LAN family would not get involved in the affairs of the LAN family, he had other plans, so it was better to not cause any trouble.
After the three of them took their seats, the banquet officially began.
After a while, Qing yuande raised his wine glass to toast the ancestor of the LAN family. His pale face became a little ruddy.
His hand trembled slightly as he said,
“Senior LAN, I heard that the younger generation of the Lan family has many talents, and most of them are not married yet. I intend to marry the LAN family. What do you think, Senior?”
Clang!
The wine glass in Qing Yuankui’s hand accidentally fell to the ground. Although it did not shatter, the sound it made made made Qing Shaocheng frown.
Qing Shaocheng was furious and quickly scolded, “Yuan De, aren’t you being a little too abrupt? How can a child’s marriage be child’s play? !”
Qing yuande said with a slight coldness, “My parents have passed away, and my grandfather has been in seclusion all year round. What’s wrong with me, as a father, arranging a marriage for My Daughter?”
Yun chujiu sighed in her heart. Qing yuande and Zheng Shi were really good to Qing si. Whether it was the deliberate cover-up when she was young or the desperation at this moment, they were all for her safety.
She thought of her parents who were locked up in the Zen sect and felt a little bitter. She did not complain, but she felt that her life was too bitter. She did not enjoy the love of her parents in both her past and present lives.
Therefore, she turned her bitterness into motivation and began to eat and drink.
The ancestor of the LAN family said with a smile, “The daughters of the Qing family are precious. Of course, the LAN family would love to have them. However, we can not rush this matter. We will talk about it in detail when we have time.”
Qing Shaocheng’s eyes flashed when he heard that. He couldn’t figure out the true thoughts of the ancestor of the Lan family for a moment. He said with a smile, “Senior Lan is right. Marriage is the best way to marry two families. Naturally, we have to be cautious.”
His words were obviously a pun, implying that the ancestor of the LAN family would be the second son of the Qing family in the future. There was no benefit in marrying the eldest son.
Qing yuande sat back in his seat with some disappointment. If the ancestor of the Lan family could agree to the marriage, at least Qing si would be able to avoid the disaster. However, judging from his appearance, it was probably just a perfunctory response.
However, for the sake of his daughter, he could not give up no matter what. From the looks of it, this was the safest way.
Qing Si’s face remained expressionless. She looked at Hei Xinjiu, who was fighting with the chicken drumstick, and silently thought to herself, “Bear with it. Little Jiu will think of a way soon. Everything will be fine.”.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside. A guard hurriedly ran in, ignoring the presence of guests, and said, “Second elder, something has happened!”
