Chapter 73: Good Things Are Coming

  Chapter Seventy-Three Good Things Happen First Release Net

  The next morning, Qin Dai Xin got up early to wash and dress, and let Ru Gang choose a set of inconspicuous clothes. She styled her hair in a simple way, didn't wear any jewelry or accessories, only inserted a relatively pretty pearl flower, and simply ate breakfast. Then she brought the land deeds, rental agreements and other contracts from Xiao Qian Zhuang to Fang Wanru's courtyard.

  Fang Wanru got up early to deal with the New Year's affairs, and Qin Daihe went there when she was arranging for the servants to handle the big and small things in the courtyard. Qin Daihe listened outside for a while and felt that she handled household chores in an orderly manner. She thought that it was not easy for her to take care of all the big and small things inside and outside the family.

  She is a martial artist, naturally more sensitive than others. Others don't know the inside story and think that at her young age she can tolerate people's tediousness, but looking at her gaze it seems different now.

  After Qin Dai Xin woke up, she had been thinking about living a low-key life and didn't want to get involved in the affairs of this mansion. However, she didn't know that just by thinking about being low-key, others would mistakenly think she was foolish. One after another, they plotted against her, testing her wits. If she were still the old Qin Dai Xin, she would have died eight times over without knowing how to die. Although she had dodged many open and hidden attacks, in the end, she was still at a disadvantage. To make others not dare to provoke you easily, you need to show your hand, let them see your strength. Only then will they be cautious and not dare to mess with you lightly.

  The people in the Qin mansion who discovered her difference earliest should be Ruyi, Su Shi and Nianiang. However, they are after all close to her and can only feel happy seeing her become better and better, without any intention of harming her. As for Lin Shi, although she seems kind on the surface, no one knows what changes may occur in the future due to interests or other things, so it's best to maintain a wait-and-see attitude. Fang Shi and Qin Zongwen probably also discovered her difference after the last incident. As for Fang Wanru, during yesterday's conversation, she appropriately displayed the wisdom and intelligence that a young lady living in the mansion amidst power struggles should have; she also tactfully expressed her intention of not wanting to get involved in the Jia family's affairs, so she should have discovered her difference too. These days, she has been quietly changing without revealing herself, hoping that one day she can reveal her true nature. Although her temperament has changed a lot now, it's not too abrupt.

  She sat alone, lost in thought, yet revealed a calm and composed side of her personality. When the old woman reminded her, she got up, adjusted her clothes, and went into the hall to see Fang Wanru.

  "How did you come without even letting people say a word, these women's affairs are always the same." Fang Wanru wore extremely festive attire, a tooth-colored jacket with a crimson embroidered jade and plum blossom patterned vest. Her head was surrounded by pearls and jewels, shining so brightly that Qin Dai's eyes hurt.

  When others are polite to you, it doesn't necessarily mean they're being sincere. Qin Dai naturally understood this principle.

  Qin Dai'er gave Fang Wanru a proper and polite greeting, then sat down demurely in the chair beside her, saying: "With so many things to attend to at home, I'm already ashamed that I can't help out more - how could I possibly add to Mother's troubles?" It would be better if she didn't get involved in household management and financial matters, lest people think she had ulterior motives.

  Fang Wanru shot a surprised glance at Qin Daihe, how come she hadn't noticed before that she was so well-versed in etiquette? Lately, San Niangzi's demeanor had become more and more like that of a noble lady, could it be that she still had her heart set on the marriage with the Jia family?

  Qin Dai's heart naturally did not neglect that one glance, thinking to herself that it seemed she had also discovered her own change in temperament. At this point, she calmly and quietly said: "Mother, I want to borrow a pair of cards from you and have a horse carriage sent to Xiao Qian Zhuang."

  Fang Wanru gave Haitang a look, and the latter understood, went to the side of the case, took out the key, opened the small lacquered gold cabinet on the side, took out a two-inch long wooden plaque from inside and handed it to her.

  Qin Dai Xin had never seen anything like this before, and couldn't help but take a look. There was nothing special about it, just a traditional character for "car" written on the surface, with no other markings.

  "Thank you, Mother. I have one more thing, and I'll be bold enough to ask for your help in making a decision."

  "What's going on?" Fang Wanru heard her say that, and a few curious thoughts arose. This girl used to act arbitrarily, only discussing punishment when things went wrong. Nowadays, she is becoming more and more well-behaved, and will also inform others in advance about matters. It's really not easy!

  Qin Dai Xin pretended not to see her doubts and said, "Mother, I must confess that in the past, I have done many wrong things. Not only did I not know how to change my ways, but I also became more and more arrogant, causing you a lot of worry and anger. It's truly unfilial of me. Since the accident at Pu Fa Temple, I have been reflecting on my mistakes in the countryside, reading the books of sages day and night, and only then did I realize how absurd my past behavior was. If it weren't for your kindness and consideration for my youth, I wouldn't have been able to return home so quickly. After returning home, Grandmother and you took care of me with all your heart, and I am truly ashamed. In the end, I still feel that my vision is narrow, and I couldn't see through the right and wrong of things. So, I gave up on my previous thoughts and stopped thinking about things that don't belong to me." As Qin Dai Xin spoke, she kept observing Fang Wanru's expression. When she mentioned the accident at Pu Fa Temple, Fang Wanru's eyes flickered involuntarily, and this flicker did not escape her notice.

  "What's the point of saying these things?" Fang Wanru thought to herself, delighted that this young girl had finally come to her senses and no longer harbored foolish notions about marrying into the Jia family. She also understood that she was the one who truly protected her. "You're still young, focus on learning needlework and household management. These are essential skills for getting along with others and managing a household, which you'll need to learn eventually."

  It was for this reason that the daughter came to seek guidance from her mother.

  "What's going on?" This girl has become so transparent, speaking with reason and evidence, in accordance with emotions and logic. Could it be true that she read the sage's book at Xiaojian Village and gained these insights?

  "Mother also knew that among the slaves in this small front village, there was one who was a bit special. Her daughter had just learned how to manage things and didn't want to be fooled by others, but she couldn't bear to lose face in front of her grandmother, so she was really stuck." Qin Dai pretended to look helpless, showing weakness in front of Fang Wanru.

  She saw that her eyes were bright, her words sincere, and thought to herself that she must have suffered a lot to become a better person. From the time of the incident until now, half a year had passed, which was neither long nor short. The originally arrogant and self-righteous San Yazi had actually become more subdued and knew when to advance or retreat. It's no wonder she wanted the land deed from Xiao Qianzhuang; for her, it must be a place of rebirth. Thinking this way made her feel slightly more at ease. If she had been like this earlier, why would she have had such thoughts and almost committed a sin?

  "What you said is indeed the Chang'an family." As for the affairs of the manor, she had always been meticulous and inquired about every detail. Which ditch was which, where was the ridge, no one knew better than her. The "special" person Qin Dai mentioned must be them.

  "That's right."

  Fang Wanru slightly measured it and felt that this busy should help, thinking for a moment: "This is easy to handle, I'll just ask a reliable nanny to go with you, saying that your grandmother misses her, and bring her whole family over for the New Year. After the New Year, we can find another villa to settle them down."

  Chang'an is a thorn in Qin Dai's heart, and isn't it also a thorn in Fang Wanyu's flesh?

  They, under the title of being favored by the Old Mistress, acted tyrannically and lawlessly in Xiaofront Village. Every year, the harvest they sent over and their actual income did not match, and the accounts were all muddled. If it weren't for the Old Mistress turning a blind eye, how could they have acted so recklessly?

  This slave will always be a slave, with short-sightedness and no self-restraint. Do they think no one knows the true situation of Xiaojian Village? Just because no one asks doesn't mean they don't know anything, perhaps Lady Tai still misses him, but now that Lady Fang is getting older, she can't remember many things clearly, how could she let a small slave like her have her way?

  One should fulfill one's duties as a human being.

  What Fang Wanting thought, Qin Dai Xin naturally couldn't know, but Fang Wanting's words made Qin Dai Xin's heart surprised, is there such a good thing? Isn't the sun coming out from the west?
