Chapter 892: Chapter 890: The Transmigrated Woman Bound to the Good Pregnancy System 34
"Jiang Xun should be arriving in Capital City soon, right?" Cui Ying asked.
Ah Chen replied, "He should be."
A while ago, Jiang Xun sent a message back saying he had settled the matters in Medicine King Valley with those who had been harmed by Ye Shuangzhou and would return after handling the follow-up issues.
Unexpectedly, her adoptive mother was more worried than she was, uneasy without seeing him return.
"Don’t worry, Mother. I won’t have any thoughts about that Ji Tanhua," Ah Chen reassured her, indicating that this was the reason for Cui Ying’s anxiety.
Now, Cui Ying has completely changed and sees things more comprehensively.
Of course, she’s worried. She’s afraid that Ji Qing’s recent behavior might actually win over her daughter. Fortunately, it’s her daughter. If it were another young girl, she might already be infatuated with Ji Qing, losing her Divine Soul.
In Ah Chen’s view, Ji Qing hasn’t done much. They’ve hardly met, and even when they do meet, it’s just polite greetings and nods.
But in this era, Cui Ying’s worries weren’t unfounded. What Ji Qing did was indeed appealing to women at that time. For instance, with more people in Capital City lately, finding a place in restaurants and other venues was difficult, and Ji Qing happened to be there and gave up his spot.
This wasn’t because Ji Qing was deliberately waiting there; it was truly a coincidence.
He simply gave up a place without expressing anything else, so Ah Chen didn’t say anything, nor did she accept the gesture.
Instances like this weren’t frequent, and later on, whenever she went somewhere, she’d arrange things in advance so that Ji Qing wouldn’t have the opportunity.
What the mother and daughter didn’t know was that Ji’s mother had already arrived in Capital City. Learning of Ji Qing’s intentions, her heart was not as pleased as the attendant predicted.
But seeing her son’s expression, she could only take a deep breath.
"Since you really fancy her, I’ll prepare and help you propose," Ji’s mother said. When preparing, she also needed to find out what kind of person this Qin Chen was.
In her view, Qin Chen couldn’t be too bad; otherwise, her son wouldn’t have been interested.
Ji Qing was delighted and eagerly told his mother everything he knew. With the connections he had made, finding some surface-level information wasn’t difficult.
After hearing that Qin Chen was skilled in medical arts and valued by the Crown Prince, Ji’s mother’s expression softened a lot. She also heard that the Crown Prince was already in control, just short of ascending the throne. Marrying Qin Chen would be advantageous for her son.
Before long, Ji’s mother also learned about the Qin Family and the matter of Cui Ying and Qin Shanlin divorcing, now with Qin Chen living with Cui Ying.
"Cui Ying couldn’t bear a son, so isn’t it normal for Qin Shanlin to take a concubine? Yet they ended up divorcing, not considering her and her daughter’s reputation," Ji’s mother was displeased. Her son was a Third-place Scholar with a promising future; even if Qin Chen’s medical skills were recognized by the Crown Prince, her family background wasn’t presentable.
Moreover, who knows if Qin Chen will be like Cui Ying, not allowing her son to take concubines, even if a son can’t be born in the future; she wouldn’t permit it, and Ji Family only has one heir, which would ruin her son.
This matter had to be addressed; it must be agreed upon in advance, or else Qin Chen could forget about entering her Ji Family’s door.
Of course, these thoughts Ji’s mother didn’t share with Ji Qing.
In her view, these were mundane issues, and her son, as a man, needed to focus on important matters and not worry about such trivialities.
Ji Qing didn’t think much of what his mother had said earlier; he even somewhat agreed, believing that Cui Ying’s divorce from Qin Shanlin was hasty and seemed to disregard everything.
"So, should this be proposed to Madam Cui or the Qin Family?" Ji Qing asked.
Ji’s mother replied, "Of course, it should be to the Qin Family. Even if Cui Ying and Qin Shanlin are divorced, Qin Chen still has the surname Qin; she’s the daughter of the Qin Family. What sense does it make to propose to Cui Ying?"
The internal friction within the Qin Family, the bad relations, were unknown to outsiders, and the Ji family mother and son had no idea the situation was quite dire.
When Ji’s mother arrived at the Qin Family, they were pleasantly surprised, especially Qin Shan, who thought her efforts had finally attracted Ji Qing, assuming the proposal was for her. Her face was shyly flushed, sitting aside. Not until Ji’s mother mentioned the main topic did she realize it was Qin Chen they came for, and her face turned pale on the spot.
Qin Chen, Qin Chen, how is it Qin Chen again?
Thinking of Qin Chen’s formidable nature made her heart only fill with fear.
Now, Qin Chen wasn’t someone she could provoke. Even with jealousy and resentment piling in her heart, she could only curse silently.
No, she couldn’t sit idly by.
Seeing the Qin Family’s situation worsening day by day, if she didn’t find a way out soon, the family would definitely use her to exchange for maximum benefits, without caring about her well-being.
The Qin Family, initially very enthusiastic, fell silent upon hearing Ji’s mother mention Qin Chen.
Liu Hehua’s face turned sour, but she didn’t dare to handle the matter. She was already scared of Ah Chen, knowing that even if she took on this issue, it wouldn’t trouble Ah Chen. Her family probably wouldn’t survive in Capital City. Worse, it would affect her grandson’s career, and that wasn’t something to joke about.
Qin Shanlin, however, entertained the thought since it was a proposal from a Third-place Scholar.
His daughter’s luck was pretty good. Although it was a pity the Crown Prince wasn’t interested in her, having a Third-place Scholar was not bad, just paving the way for his younger son’s future, having a Third-place Scholar brother-in-law would make the path smoother.
Even if his daughter was currently displeased with him, the younger son was still her brother, much younger than her, and time could slowly reconcile their relationship.
He was, after all, the biological father and had the right to agree to this.
"I think it’s fine."
"For Ji Tanhua to even fancy Xiao Chen, it’s her good fortune," Qin Shanlin said, playing the role of a father thoroughly.
"What’s fine?" Liu Hehua suddenly interrupted, "This matter needs to be discussed with the Cui Family and that girl; you can’t agree."
Liu Hehua knew very well what this eldest son was thinking.
But he hadn’t considered that the dead girl had beyond logical methods, and if angered, the Qin Family couldn’t remain in Capital City. Did he really think that relying on being a father could suppress the girl?
If she could suppress her, would she, as a grandmother, be afraid?
Foolish, how did she give birth to such a foolish son?
"This matter needs the approval of the Cui Family; they’ve already separated their daughter and my eldest son, so we can’t decide," Liu Hehua said. "If Madam Ji has such intentions, she might have to make a trip there."
She wasn’t going. Going would only bring bad luck, and she didn’t want to face that humiliation.
Ji’s mother’s brows furrowed, very displeased. But as Liu Hehua claimed to have no authority, she had no choice but to leave.
Once she left, Qin Shanlin began to argue with Liu Hehua discontentedly.
Liu Hehua, frustrated, suddenly shouted, "Let’s just split the family."
She felt that having such a ridiculous son around would eventually drag the whole family down.
Splitting was for the best.
