Chapter 79 What was she thinking?
Qin Dai'er arrived at Fang Wanru's place and was led into the small side hall of the warm pavilion by the maids. She had thought that she would just show her face, thank her, and then return to her own garden, but unexpectedly, she ran into her here?
Miss Qin wore a water-green satin dress, sitting there, especially showing her lovely appearance. She held a handkerchief in her hand, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes, crying about something. Fang Wanru sat above, expressionless.
Qin Ruoxin saw her coming, and for a moment she didn't react, her expression stiffened for a moment, then it seemed like she remembered something, hurriedly tidied up her clothes, waiting for Qin Dai Xin to pay respects to Fang Wanru before the two sisters paid their respects to each other again.
"What's wrong with the fourth sister, why is she so heartbroken?" If others don't want to leave, shouldn't you also know when to stop? It's clear that they want you to ask a question, how can she pretend not to see it?!
Qin Ruoxin and others just happened to hear this question, and hurriedly said: "I was just talking about my sister with my mother, and my sister came. The other day I was so ill that I didn't even know what nonsense I had said myself, Sister is magnanimous, please don't mind the younger sister." After finishing speaking, she picked up her handkerchief and pressed it against the corner of her eye again, with a guilty look on her face.
Qin Dai Xin saw her sincere face and couldn't help but glance in Fang Wanyu's direction, only to find that the person on the seat didn't even raise an eyebrow, focusing solely on drinking the tea in his hand, as if he hadn't seen anything.
So-called "wait and see"?
"What did you just say?" Qin Dai's face showed a surprised look, and she asked: "What happened?"
Qin Ruoxin saw that she didn't seem to be pretending, but really didn't know what was going on, and her heart couldn't help but beat faster. She tentatively asked: "I heard Yingshuang say that because of my nonsense when I was ill, Second Sister misunderstood you..."
Qin Dai Xin smiled and said, "Second sister is also concerned about you, afraid that there might be some misunderstanding between us sisters, so she asked me a few questions. We've already talked it through and know that there's nothing going on, how could I still be hung up on it?" Qin Dai Xin's words were extremely clever, not only did they cover up Qin Qian Xin's impulsive behavior of acting without thinking, but also won over Fang Wan Ru and framed Qin Ruo Xin.
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, Fang Wanru, who had been watching the commotion, spoke up: "You're being too sensitive, your third sister has a great personality and wouldn't hold grudges over small things. But you should be more careful with your subordinates, Yingxue was also trained in the manor, how could she handle things so ineffectively? She turned your second sister's good intentions into this mess."
These words sound like they're caring for her, comforting her, but in fact, they're no different from slapping her in the face! How could Qin Ruoxin not hear the implicit meaning behind Fang Wanyu's words? Although she was very angry, for the sake of future days, she had to endure it. So many years have passed, can't she just hold on for this one moment?
I don't know when Qin Dai's temperament became the best?
"Mother is right, it's just that the daughter has a smaller heart." Qin Ruoxin made an effort to ignore the hatred in her heart and put on a little girl's attitude, half flattering and half coquettish, towards Fang Wanyu.
Although the atmosphere was eased, Qin Dai's heart did not neglect her hand that was tightly grasping the hem of her clothes, with white fingers, how much strength did she use?
"Mother, daughter this time went to Xiaqianzhuang, did such a few things, do not know whether it is proper or not." Qin Dai heart also did not avoid Qin Ruoxin, immediately simply said the matter of Xiaqianzhuang, of course, about the wine master's thing is not mentioned.
She spoke lightly, but Qin Ruoxin's heart was like drinking a jar of vinegar, sour and bubbling inside. She had also heard about the small front village land deed, although the yield of that village wasn't high, it was still a village after all. It was said to have a not-so-small forest area, those trees should be able to sell for quite some money too?
Why should Qin Dai Xin get all these benefits and not herself? Isn't it because of her relationship with the second young master of the Li family? Fang Wanru has always been partial to some and neglectful of others, making distinctions between legitimate and illegitimate children that even a blind person can see. Why has she suddenly become so affectionate towards Qin Dai Xin for no reason, even giving her Xiaofeng Village? Isn't it because she wants to get close to her and establish a relationship with the Li family to gain some benefits?
East Li West Zhou, South Chu North Qi.
She's just a foolish girl, but she's also heard of the reputation of the Li family in Jiangdong. The four major families of Da Yong are well-known to everyone. If it wasn't for accidentally finding out that she had some connection with the second son of the Li family, how could her family possibly value a concubine-born daughter so much? Now she's simply getting everything she wants. But thinking about it is strange, when did she get hooked up with the Li family? It seems that I underestimated her before, not only does the Jia family want to marry her, but now even the Li family has the intention of forming an alliance through marriage. What does Qin Dai Xin have besides a useless and smelly body that's worth these people going crazy wanting to marry her?
Qin Ruoxin also unintentionally learned from Qin Congwen and Qin Zichen's conversation that the second son of the Li family in Jiangdong seemed to appreciate Qin Dai very much. At that time, his tone was full of excitement that couldn't be hidden, and he even said that if the two families were married, he promised that his elder brother didn't have to marry a daughter of the Qi family as a concubine. He also said that after the new year, this Li second son would come to visit.
After learning of this matter, although jealous, she also felt it was an opportunity. Seeing that marrying into the Jia family as a wife had no results, becoming a concubine was the last resort. If she could marry into the Li family in Jiangdong, then her chance to turn over and take revenge would come. This matter for her only had advantages and no disadvantages, this deal was really cost-effective.
That night, she pretended to be ill and made a fuss for several days before finally getting what she wanted. Although Fang Wanru had not expressed her opinion at the moment, judging from her tone, she did not advocate for her to marry into the Jia household as a concubine either.
As long as that Li Er Gongzi comes to the door, she will have the opportunity to get close to him, and at that time, let him see her own style, marrying a wife should marry such an intelligent one...
Qin Ruoxin was completely absorbed in her own thoughts and didn't hear the conversation between Fang Wanyu and Qin Dai Xin.
"I saw that the two of them were really pitiful, so I lent a hand to help. Who knew that the mother and daughter would not leave like this, but instead insisted on selling themselves into the mansion to serve me? Mother, what do you think should be done about this matter? If it's not suitable, I'll immediately send someone to get rid of them." Qin Dai was worried that the affair with the mother and daughter would eventually be exposed by people in the mansion. Rather than being exposed by others, it was better for her to confess first.
Fang Wanru felt slightly dissatisfied in her heart, but thinking of the noble guest who would be coming after the new year, she put aside the idea of scolding them. "Buying two people isn't a difficult task, I'm just afraid they won't understand the rules and mess up your affairs." Fang Wanru thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, they're just two servants. If you've done a good deed, consider it as accumulating blessings for your grandmother. Arrange things properly, if one of them is clever and capable, keep her by your side. Your courtyard still lacks a competent housekeeper, if not, send them to the estate, there's always a place where people can be used."
Qin Dai's heart didn't think she would be so easy to talk to, and unexpectedly had to thank her sincerely: "Thank you, Mother, daughter listened to your words, and finally felt relieved in her heart. If this were to displease you, that would be a grave offense." The flattering words made even herself feel uncomfortable all over, but somehow someone else heard them and was extremely delighted, as if drinking iced honey water on a sweltering summer day.
This person is naturally the flattered Fang Wanru.
Fang Wanru was naturally delighted, feeling that these three girls had indeed made great progress. Not only did they learn to observe and listen, but also knew how to cover for Qian's mistakes. When doing things, they were more considerate and willing to listen to opinions, unlike before when they would act impulsively and cause her heartache. This was good, very good.
Fang Wanwan's mood was comfortable and she didn't care about anything else. She turned her head to see Qin Ruoxin standing aside, seemingly lost in thought, as if she hadn't heard their conversation at all. Her good mood was discounted at that moment, and she suppressed her temper to ask: "Fourth Young Miss, what are you thinking?"
PS: I don't understand why the collection is going down? I've only been categorized once, and although I've been working hard to write every day for nearly a month, basically in a state of nudity, each collection is my blood and sweat. Now that the collection isn't increasing but decreasing, I feel like I'm a bit anemic, and if it gets any worse, it's hemorrhagic shock! Strongly demanding collection and likes, and of course, if there are evaluation votes, that would be even better, which is equivalent to giving me a blood transfusion. I'm type A blood, who can help?
