Chapter 416 Clues

Zhu Hongxiu and Gong Qianyue leaned against each other, and said with a worried tone: "Qianyue, do you think there will be any mistakes in today's incident?"

Gong Qianyue said softly: "What do you mean?"

"Today, I knew clearly what my mother did, but I did not stop her, nor did I inform Sister Qin and my brother in advance. I am also an accomplice. Judging from the situation, it seems that the Tang family will not let it go."

"Mrs. Zhu is determined to do something, and even if you try to stop her, she won't listen to you. Besides, if Sister Qin can marry your brother, it will be considered a high-class marriage, and this marriage is quite good. If it really succeeds, she will marry into your family, and you just need to be nice to her. However, considering your eldest brother's regard and love for her, if this marriage really happens, Sister Qin's blessing is still to come."

Zhu Hongxiu felt much better after hearing what Gong Qianyue said.

What kind of family is the Tang family? What kind of family is their Zhu family? Why is Qin Huiyin unhappy? What is there for her to be unhappy about? If she were to choose by herself, could she choose a better family than the Zhu family?

"I heard that the Imperial Censor thinks highly of Lord Tang and wants to marry his daughter to him!" Zhu Hongxiu said, "Nalan You is timid and cowardly, and his looks are only above average, how can he compare to you?"

Gong Qianyue was well-known for her talent, and she often met all kinds of talented people with her father. Whether in terms of talent or brains, she was incomparable to Nalan You. However, Nalan You had the advantage of having a father who had a say in Tang Yichen, so it was possible that the Tang family would really agree to this marriage.

Gong Qianyue sighed softly: "Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words. My family can't help me, and I can't do anything about it. I can only take things as they come and let nature take its course."

How could she not know? It was precisely because she knew that when she learned that Madam Zhu was going to take action at Nalan Mansion, she remained silent and did not inform Qin Huiyin in advance.

If Qin Huiyin lost her innocence in the Nalan Mansion, her marriage with the Zhu family would be set in stone, and she could be married off sooner. At the same time, the Tang family would definitely bear a grudge against the Nalan family, and the two families would not be able to get married.

What a pity, why did it fail?

However, whether it is failure or success, what does it have to do with her?

The maid's voice came from outside the door: "Miss, the eldest master got very angry when he returned home. He packed his things and said that he would become a monk tomorrow to avoid causing trouble for others."

Zhu Hongxiu had a headache: "Why are you telling me all this? Go report to the eldest lady and the old lady. They hold those people dear to their hearts. Go and comfort them on your own."

Tang Residence. After returning home, Li Taohua rushed to Qin Huiyin's courtyard. Tang Dafu came over from the opposite side and saw Li Taohua rushing to Qin Huiyin's courtyard. He looked hurried and hurriedly chased after her.

"Wife, wife..." Tang Dafu still can't change the habit of calling his wife wife. Even though Tang Yixiao reminded him that he should call her Madam, otherwise those people in the capital will laugh at him, he still doesn't change his words.

He said that a "daughter-in-law" is the apple of one's eye, while a "wife" is the head of the family. It sounds nice, but it is cold. He hopes that Li Taohua will always be his daughter-in-law, not just a wife who manages the house.

"Wife, what's wrong?" Tang Dafu saw that Li Taohua looked unhappy and quickly pulled her back. "Who bullied you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm not feeling unwell. The children came back first. Why don't you check on them first? You just stare at me all day. Is there something wrong with my face?"

Tang Dafu grumbled aggrievedly: "Your face is prettier than flowers, who else should I stare at if not you?"

Li Taohua got angry when she saw him like that, and glared at her fiercely: "Yinyin fell into the water, I want to go see Yinyin. The girl is so old now, you don't have to follow her, it's not convenient."

"How did Yinyin fall into the water? Is she okay? Can I not go in and wait outside? I want to listen to your conversation with mother and daughter, and I will feel relieved only when I see that she is okay." Tang Dafu said worriedly.

Li Taohua was too lazy to pay attention to him.

She knocked on Qin Huiyin's door and only went in after getting permission.

Qin Huiyin was sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair. Her hair was already dry and was combed very smoothly by Zhilan. Tang Luwu was stirring the freshly boiled ginger soup beside her and tested the water temperature before giving it to her to drink.

"Mom, I'm going to make some medicine for you." Tang Luwu said, "He said you were frightened and need some medicine to heal you."

"As long as you are safe, I don't need to take any medicine, my body will get better naturally." Li Taohua held Qin Huiyin's hand. "Why is she still so cold? What did Xiao Ge'er say about her health?"

"My little brother said that he just caught a cold and that he would be fine after drinking some tonic medicine for three days."

"May God bless you and make you okay. You are such a worry to me." Li Taohua poked Qin Huiyin's forehead and said, "Tell me about the situation at that time, so I can see what happened."

Before Qin Huiyin could say anything, Zhilan and Sujin spoke one after another, explaining the whole cause and effect of the incident.

"I just stayed at the Nalan family for a while. The lady of the Nalan Mansion wanted to beat the dog to death, but your brother stopped them and said that he would investigate the matter thoroughly. Miss Nalan said that the dog has always been docile and never hurts anyone. In addition, there are many guests today, and some of them are afraid of dogs. She locked the dog in her yard and asked the servants to guard it well, but something happened."

"There aren't so many coincidences in the world. If there were, my daughter shouldn't have encountered all of them. I'm afraid someone wanted to push this incident to happen and let my daughter swallow this loss." Li Taohua said, "Yinyin, don't think too much. Let your brother handle the rest."

"I understand, mother." Qin Huiyin said.

"By the way, the Nalan Mansion said that Miss Nalan will come to apologize to you in person tomorrow. If you don't want to see her, ask the concierge to find an excuse and say that you went to the country house to recuperate."

"Mom, when will we have a villa in the countryside?" Tang Luwu was surprised.

Yes, there is, but not here, but in my hometown!

"There wasn't one originally, but if your sister doesn't want to see it, there will be one tomorrow," said Li Taohua.

Tang Luwu chuckled.

"I heard that there is a hot spring in a village about two hours' drive from Beijing. Many people have built villas there just for the hot springs. I am thinking about this matter. Why not build a villa there? In this way, I can take mother to live there for a few days in winter. Not only is the climate good, but it can also regulate mother's body. Mother has too much coldness in her body and needs hot springs to recuperate." Qin Huiyin said.

"You also said that many people bought it there. It's better not to go to such a troubled place." Li Taohua said, "We have a doctor at home. We can keep it anywhere. Well, I won't say more. You guys take a rest. I'll go back and rest too."
