Chapter Sixty What Happened

  Qin Dai Xin's three-day absence had already become a non-secret in the Qin Manor. Although the Qin family tried their best to keep it under wraps, what wall doesn't leak wind? As soon as several servants returned to report back, Qin Dai Xin became a subject of gossip within the manor.

  Everyone was secretly discussing the fact that Miss Qin, the third daughter of the Qin family, had been kidnapped by bandits. Some people were secretly gloating over her misfortune, while others thought it was none of their business and just watched from a distance.

  Qin Dai Xin was unaware of these external matters and slept soundly.

  As soon as it dawned, news spread throughout the Qin Manor that Third Miss Qin had returned safely.

  Many people did not believe this news, including those from Changxiang Garden.

  It's just that this letter was released by Qin from the Wen Institute, and everyone had to believe it. The words of the head of a family always have some weight.

  Qin Dai Xin woke up to find that people from all walks of life had gathered at the Xiangxiao Garden, except for Fang Shi and Qin Congwen who didn't show their faces. Those who should have come and those who shouldn't have all came to take a look at her. She thought it wouldn't be different, returning so quietly was like dropping a heavy bomb in the Qin Mansion, those who wanted to see her make a fool of herself couldn't help but pop out one after another like spring bamboo shoots after rain.

  As expected, she hadn't even had time to get out of bed when she was disturbed by someone who had received the news early. It wasn't Su Shi, nor her own maid, but rather her fourth younger sister. Presumably, she had gone to pay respects to Fang Shi early in the morning and had received the news there, so when she rushed into her own room, the maids didn't stop her, not knowing that she had returned.

  "Three... three sisters, you're back, that's all that matters, we were worried sick." The fourth miss was also a unique individual, seeing Qin Dai's calm and collected demeanor, she was shocked, the tragic event she had imagined hadn't occurred, her mind struggled to accept it, but she quickly regained her composure and spoke some insincere words.

  Ruyi was originally following Fourth Miss, thinking that she had come to make trouble so early in the morning, and feeling unhappy about it. However, when she saw Qin Daihe appearing safely in the inner chamber, she became excited, but fearing being discovered by Fourth Miss, she could only hold back her emotions again. The old lady's explanation for the household was that Qin Daihe was copying scriptures at the temple to pray for blessings for Su Shi and her unborn child. If Ruyi couldn't hold back now, wouldn't it be unfilial to Miss?

  "As you wish, Fourth Miss, please go back! I have a headache! Little sister, forgive me, when I'm feeling better, I'll come to your place to apologize."

  Qin Ruoxin smiled, "What are you talking about, Third Sister? We're family sisters, do we need to be so formal? I just heard from Grandmother that you were back and was eager to see you. I didn't think you'd return so late and hadn't rested well, it's my fault for being thoughtless."

  Qin Daiyun yawned ungracefully, "Another day I'll find my sister to chat with, Like Intent, take my place and send it to Fourth Miss."

  "Yes." Ruo Yi couldn't wait to send her away. Upon hearing Qin Dai's words, she immediately stepped forward and said: "I'll escort Fourth Miss out."

  Qin Ruoxin wasn't going to waste her time either, seeing that Qin Dai didn't care about her. So she said: "Third sister, rest well, I'll come visit you another day." After speaking, she turned around and left the room.

  Ru Yi sent Qin Ruoxin away and told Xiaoyutou to go to Lan Garden to inform Su Shi. Unexpectedly, before Xiaoyutou had even left the courtyard, she saw from a distance the wet nurse and Fangqiao supporting Su Shi as they walked towards this direction.

  As expected, they rushed forward to welcome her. Several people arrived at the inner chamber and saw that Qin Dai'er was safe and sound. Everyone's expression was agitated, and they couldn't help but cry with joy.

  Su was pregnant and it wasn't good for her to be so sad, Qin Dai Xin consoled her several times before she could barely hold back her tears. The mother and daughter were apart for a few days, and their feelings seemed to have grown closer, especially Su. When Ruyi told her that Qin Dai Xin had called her "mother" in the temple, she almost couldn't believe it.

  Now looking at his own daughter, except for some fatigue, everything else is fine, there are no injuries on her body, and there is no look of grievance on her face, it seems that she is safe.

  Qin Dai'er saw Su Shi looking her up and down, left and right, and knew what she meant. She said to her: "Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine. We were only halfway there when the bandits arrived, but they didn't even touch my hair."

  Su heard her say that, and the hanging heart finally put down, the nurse read a sentence "Amitabha", Ruyi and Fangqiao two maids were crying and laughing, everyone put down their hearts.

  The atmosphere was just right, but a little girl came to report, "Madam has arrived."

  As soon as the words fell, Fang Wanting walked out of the small hall, with her maid Haitang following behind. Ruyi, Fangqiao and Nainai hurriedly paid their respects to her, and even Susu got up and bowed to her.

  When she saw Su Shi was also there, she wasn't surprised and walked directly to the bedside. Haitang hastily fetched a stool for her to sit on, while Qindai Xin wanted to get up and pay respects.

  "Alright, alright. One didn't rest well; the other is still pregnant, what's the point of these empty formalities?" Fang Wanru thought to herself that she couldn't be bothered with these two, but on the surface, she still had to put on a show as the mistress of the house, or else people would say she lacked magnanimity.

  Qin Dai Xin knew she was being polite, but still struggled to get up, and didn't know if Fang Shi had told her the truth or not. Although she thought so in her heart, her movements didn't slow down by half a beat.

  "It's all right, don't mention it. As mother and daughter, why be so formal?" There was even a hint of affection in her tone.

  It's just this three-point favoritism, if it were the former third lady, she would be so beautiful that she wouldn't even care about her birth mother. Qin Dai's heart sighed softly in her heart, Su Shi must have suffered a lot! Only this brainless master can't see that Fang Wanru is actually hitting Su Shi.

  "Mother, I've worried you." Qin Dai's heart was very weak and she didn't insist on getting up again. Su Shi looked at her and naturally felt uncomfortable, but she also didn't dare say anything more, still standing by the side.

  Fang Wanru wouldn't make things difficult for a pregnant woman on the surface, so she instructed Haitang: "Quickly help your aunt sit down and don't tire herself out."

  Haitang helped Su Shi sit down steadily on a small stool beside him.

  "It's not me saying you, with that belly of yours, don't even know how to rest properly. I know you're worried about Little San, but can't you tell the time?!" Fang Wanru spoke seriously and kindly to Su Shi, but Qin Dai heard her words and almost choked on her own saliva - who was Little San?!

  "The lady's teachings are also making me feel a bit tired." Su Shi completely looked like a little daughter-in-law.

  "Is that so! Then go back and rest!" with a completely domineering tone of a mistress.

  Su Shi obediently got up and bowed to Fang Wanru, then left with Fang Qiao and the wet nurse, not looking at Qin Dai Xin once from start to finish.

  This is my sorrow!

  "How are you? Are you feeling better?" Fang Wanru seemed to have a hidden meaning.

  Qin Daiyun glanced at her and snorted coldly in her heart, how was her body?

  "Mother, the daughter has been copying scriptures in the temple all along. Although she's a bit tired, there's nothing wrong with that." This method thought of by Fang Shi is not bad at all.

  Fang Wanru was taken aback, this statement is the old lady's official words to the government, the people in the government are not fools, they will guess one or two, she brought out this statement at this time, is it to remind herself? Fang Wanru had anger in her heart, but thinking that the matter would spread and wouldn't look good for her own face, she gritted her teeth and endured.

  "You've been frail since you were a kid, and now that you're grown up, you always have one thing after another happen to you. I'm worried your body can't take it." How touching! People who don't know the inside story would definitely think this is just a loving mother and daughter pair!

  "Missing mother."

  "A family doesn't speak two languages, I've thought it through, after the new year, I'll pick a good day to marry off your second sister, once she's married into the Jia family, I'll find you a good match."

  Qin Dai Xin suddenly lifted her head and looked at her, thinking which play is this?
