Chapter 168 Make it clear
Pearl beside him couldn't help but widen her eyes. How could this be so ambiguous? Rong Jin frowned even more, paused, and said, "Thank you so much, cousin, for taking care of my mother for so long.
In the past, it was quite convenient when the girls' school was still behind the Marquis' Mansion. But now it has moved to Chenggong Lane, and my uncle's house is just one street away from the girls' school. It would be inappropriate to ask my cousin to go to the Marquis' Mansion to take care of my mother.
From now on, let the nanny and the maids take more care of my mother, and my cousin can go home and live in peace."
Madam Han's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but glance at Han Qingge.
Han Qingge looked at Rong Jin in astonishment, then looked at Madam Han, and said, "It's okay, cousin. Aunt hasn't slept well these days. I'll keep her company. It won't be too late for me to go back after she has slept well."
"No need. My mother has always had a light sleep and can only recover slowly. You can't help her much if you stay here. You will tire yourself out for nothing. There will be maids and servants who will serve tea and water at night.
The girls' school has moved there for almost a month, so my cousin should go back home. It's getting colder now, so you can sleep a little longer in the morning." Rong Jin said calmly.
"Cousin, I am used to getting up early. Besides, I am not tired of accompanying my aunt. I can also chat with my aunt at other times." Han Qingge said softly, "I like to accompany my aunt."
"Cousin, if your aunt hears you saying this, she will be unhappy. As the eldest daughter of your uncle and aunt, you have lived in the Marquis' Mansion since you were a child and have never been filial to your uncle and aunt. If you say such things again, won't it make my mother disliked by my aunt?" Rong Jin still spoke slowly. Han Qingge felt a little flustered when she heard it.
"No, my mother also agrees. She asked me to take good care of my aunt a few days ago." Han Qingge bit her lip, her eyes a little red.
"Aunt agreed because she is kind, but we in the Marquis' Mansion cannot do this. My mother has sons and daughters, and there are maids and old women serving her. She also has people to talk to and to entertain herself, so please don't bother, cousin!" Rong Jin's tone was a little impatient.
Turning her head, she looked at Zhenzhu and said, "Zhenzhu, when the girls' school is over, you should come back early and spend more time with me. Don't sneak out to play anymore. You have already been engaged, and your days with me are numbered. When you get married, it will be difficult for you to go back to your parents' home. So spend more time with me during this period, do you understand?"
"Okay, big brother, don't worry. Starting tomorrow, I will come back to accompany mother after school every day. Cousin, don't worry too. Although I am younger than you, I am my mother's biological daughter. I know my mother best. I know what she likes and dislikes. You can go home and live with peace of mind." Zhenzhu smiled and patted her chest and swore.
"Hmph, girl, even though you are my own daughter, you are not as close to me as Qingge. With your carefree and playful personality, you will be bored if I can't accompany you for three days. So forget it," said Madam Han with a smile.
"Mom, you..." Pearl pouted angrily.
"Have I wronged you? Do you remember the last time..."
"Mom, people change. When Zhenzhu was little, she was ignorant and playful. But now that she is older, she has become much more sensible. I think her temperament has become much calmer after she got engaged." Rong Jin interrupted Madam Han.
"Calm and steady. Last time, she reached out her hand from the car window towards someone..."
"Mother, I know that my cousin has a steady personality and can please you." Before Mrs. Han could finish her words, she was interrupted again by Rong Jin.
"But, mother, you only think about yourself, don't you think about your cousin? Pearl is younger than your cousin, and she has already been engaged. Your cousin hasn't been engaged yet, and you are not anxious, but your uncle and aunt are very anxious.
Do you want to keep clinging to your cousin and not let her go home to look for a husband?" Rong Jin was a little angry, and his voice unconsciously rose a lot.
"No, we can meet at the Marquis' Mansion if you want. Jin'er..."
"Mother..." Rong Jin was so angry that he interrupted Madam Han again.
There was an awkward silence in the room.
"Mom, I don't want to talk about marriage in the past two years, so you don't have to bother Zhenzhu to invite other girls to the Marquis' Mansion again and again. I won't be interested." After suppressing his anger, Rong Jin spoke again.
"How can this be? Jin'er, although men can get married later, you are not young anymore, it's time to get married. If you don't like young ladies from wealthy families, then I don't like them either.
I think Qingge is a good girl. Your uncle and aunt have mentioned you to me several times. They like you very much. How about we get married? What do you think?"
Madam Han still spoke out what was in her heart. Although she could see that Rong Jin didn't like Qingge, just because they didn't like each other when they were young didn't mean they would always dislike each other. After they got married, they would be together day and night, and maybe they would develop feelings for each other.
Rong Jin's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said, "Mom, since I was a child, I have only regarded my cousin as my own sister. I treat her and Zhenzhu the same. I have never had any romantic feelings for my cousin." Rong Jin's voice was a little cold.
"Jin'er, you are still young and don't understand feelings. Feelings are developed between two people..." Madam Han tried to comfort Rong Jin.
"Mom, my cousin has lived in the Marquis' Mansion for more than ten years. If I really liked her, I would have fallen in love with her a long time ago. So, don't say anything more. Send my cousin back as soon as possible and let my uncle and aunt find a good family for her, so as not to delay her lifelong event. You will regret it then." Rong Jin's voice became even colder.
"Your uncle and aunt are the ones who introduced Qingge to you. They both like you." Madam Han said a little anxiously.
"So what if they like me? Do I have to like their daughter too? I said, I don't like my cousin. Didn't you hear me clearly, mother? Let me say it again, I don't like my cousin, not at all." Rong Jue emphasized his tone.
After a pause, he continued, "I don't like it at all. Even if my cousin lives in the Marquis' Mansion for another ten years, I won't like it. I absolutely won't like it." His tone was decisive at the end.
"Jin'er, how can you talk like that?" Madam Han was a little angry.
"Then what should I say? Am I wrong? I don't like my cousin, but I don't want to delay her marriage, so I'm going to make this matter clear while you and my cousin are here, so that you won't blame me for not making it clear later."
"Jin'er, you..." Madam Han was a little angry.
