She couldn't do anything to Rong Qingqing, but she could still beat this wretched girl to vent her anger.

Xie Jingyi thought viciously, intending to vent her anger on Xiao Tao.

Just then, a hand reached out from the side and stopped her. "Third Miss, the Marquis has been choosing a husband for you recently. If I were you, it would be best not to cause any trouble at this time, lest the Marquis be affected and accidentally choose someone unsuitable for you. In that case, you would be the one who suffers."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jingyi felt as if someone had suddenly grabbed her by the neck. Her face turned bright red, and she was so angry that she felt like she was about to explode.

Finally, she glared at Changlin fiercely, then withdrew her hand without saying another word and left angrily.

"Pfft!"

Rong Qingqing laughed out loud and gave Changlin a thumbs up, "Changlin, you hit the snake where it hurts, awesome!"

Xiao Tao also laughed and said, "Chief of the Changlin Guard, is what you said true? Is the Marquis really already choosing a future husband for the Third Miss? Or is this just something you made up?"

Changlin said solemnly, "It's true, I didn't make it up."

"Regardless, I still want to thank you for helping us out of this predicament today," Rong Qingqing said sincerely.

Changlin shook his head. "Even without subordinates, the old lady has a way to resolve this."

"That's not necessarily true. I'm injured right now. If Xie Jingyi really makes a move, my servant and I might be at a disadvantage," Rong Qingqing said with a smile.

"It's alright. Things should be more peaceful in the manor after the Third Miss gets married," Changlin said.

“Yes.” Rong Qingqing nodded in agreement. Xie Jingyi was indeed quite annoying. She had originally planned to find a way to marry her off after returning to the capital, but unexpectedly, Xie Jingrun had already made arrangements, so she didn’t need to bother.

Back at Qinfang Garden, Rong Qingqing washed her face and lay down on the bed.

Lying on her own bed, Rong Qingqing suddenly felt a sense of peace and security.

It's only been a few days since I left, but it feels like I've been gone for ages.

"Miss, where should we settle the Second Master's two concubines?" Xiao Tao asked as she entered.

Rong Qingqing thought for a moment and instructed, "Make room in two of the courtyards near Jingming Garden for the two of them to live in."

"Yes, I will arrange it right away."

As soon as Xiao Tao left, Xing Chun came in and reported to her on the major and minor events that had occurred in the mansion while she was away.

Rong Qingqing slept for quite a while on her way back, so she was in good spirits and listened patiently to the whole thing.

Since the last reorganization, the servants in the mansion are still quite well-behaved and have not caused any trouble because of her absence.

The things Xingchun reported were all rather trivial matters in the manor. Although she didn't need to handle them personally, she still needed to understand them.

"Thank you for your hard work while I was away," Rong Qingqing said with a smile after listening to Xingchun's report.

"Madam, you flatter me. I didn't really do anything," Xingchun quickly shook her head, not daring to take credit.

Rong Qingqing gave her a satisfied look.

Xingchun is a calm and steady person, and she was right about her.

"By the way, Madam, while you were away, people from Jinxiu Clothing Shop came by a few times, asking you to make a trip to the shop when you return." Remembering something, Xingchun quickly added.

"I understand." Rong Qingqing nodded. She had originally planned to go to the shop after returning, but now that she was injured and had difficulty moving around, she decided to go in a couple of days.

After Xingchun left, she lay down again, intending to rest for a while.

But then, Xiao Tao suddenly walked in, her face unusually pale.
