After all, they are getting divorced and are no longer husband and wife, so how can it affect their relationship?
What's more, they never had any feelings.
There was no such thing in the previous life, nor in this life, there is only hatred!
In her previous life, Bai Wanyi gradually eroded the Qin family's assets, causing the Qin family to be broken up. How could she dare to do that without Lu Yan's approval!
Rather than saying that Qin Wan hated Bai Wanyi, it would be better to say that she hated Lu Yan more. If she wasn't afraid of implicating her family, she would have wanted to kill them right now!
Qin Wan used all her strength to conceal her expression and ate her meal calmly.
The old lady nodded repeatedly: "I knew you were sensible. Come, come, have dinner."
The three of them were helped by the maid to wash their hands, and the food was served. The old lady's share, Qin Wan's share and Lu Yan's share together filled the table.
Qin Wan saw that the table was not lively enough with only three people eating. She smiled and said, "I'll invite someone else to eat. Go and invite Aunt Qi."
Lu Yan and Old Madam Lu were both stunned. Although there were many concubines in the mansion, none of them had the surname Qi. However, there were quite a few with the surnames Zhao and Wu.
Who is Aunt Qi?
Just as I was wondering, a beautiful woman in a pink and purple skirt came in.
"I have met the Madam, the Old Lady, and the Marquis."
Qi Jingying greeted him and shyly glanced at Lu Yan's face, her heart pounding. This is the Marquis. It was late yesterday and she didn't see him clearly. Now he is right in front of her, he is so handsome and charming.
Lu Yan didn't recognize Qi Jing at all. He looked at Qin Wan and asked, "Who is this..."
Qin Wan just lowered her head and ate without saying a word.
Qi Jing looked up at Lu Yan shyly and said, "I am the maid who came here to deliver the message yesterday."
The memory of the past resurfaced, and Lu Yan's expression suddenly darkened. He turned and glared at Qin Wan: "What do you mean by this?"
Qin Wan's face was full of gentleness and generosity: "Since the Marquis is interested in this girl, then take her as a concubine. Not to mention what happened last night..."
She didn't say anything extra, not to save Lu Yan's face, but because she thought it was dirty.
But even without saying this, Lu Yan knew what was going on. The effect of the warming wine was taking effect, and he just wanted to find someone to relieve his stress.
Lu Yan had violated the girl's innocence, so he had to give an explanation no matter what.
Even if she was a maid, the mistress would give her a place to stay after she got married. What's more, Qi Jing was forced by Lu Yan last night, and she didn't climb into the bed on her own initiative, so even the punishment was unjustifiable.
After Lu Yan figured it out, his face became even darker. He had lost his mind due to the effects of the medicine last night. Holding that girl was a temporary solution, but he had a fight with Bai Wanyi because of this matter last night, and now he was unwilling to let Qi Jing stay in front of him at all.
Lu Yan said nothing, but his clenched fists expressed his dissatisfaction.
Old Madam Lu had a bad feeling in her heart. She looked at Qi Jing more closely and saw the ambiguous red marks on her neck, which showed what happened last night.
Old Lady Lu closed her eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What happened last night? Why does Yan'er look so unhappy?"
Qin Wan whispered what happened last night. Old Madam Lu was very angry. She gave her the warming wine and the opportunity, but it turned out to be an outsider!
But now was not the time to be angry. Old Lady Lu suppressed her anger, patted Lu Yan's hand to comfort him, and said to Qin Wan, "You did well. This is indeed the way to go. It is common for men to take concubines. It is just to expand the family. A flourishing family is a sign of prosperity."
Qin Wan nodded in agreement, "Just as Grandmother said, I took a concubine for the Marquis. Bai has already given birth to a child for the Marquis, so she should be brought into the mansion soon and become a sister to Concubine Qi. Why is she so irritable?"
She then said to Lu Yan, "I have sent someone to the other courtyard to take care of what happened last night. The neighbors won't spread gossip. But everyone in our mansion knows the inside story. The Marquis, please give Concubine Qi some respect tonight, otherwise she will have no place to stay in the Marquis' mansion in the future."
It’s not enough to take a concubine, but he also wants him to treat her with dignity?
What do you take him for?
The veins on Lu Yan's forehead were throbbing, and he was about to explode. Old Lady Lu grabbed his arm and pinched it hard, and he finally nodded patiently: "Yes."
Qi Jing was immediately overjoyed and kowtowed to Qin Wan and Lu Yan: "Thank you, Madam, and thank you, Lord."
Qin Wan asked someone to help her up: "We don't have so many rules here. Come on, get up. Let's eat together."
Qin Wan asked Qi Jing to sit between her and Lu Yan. Watching Qi Jing diligently serving Lu Yan, who had a sullen face, she breathed a sigh of relief. They were finally separated, otherwise she was really afraid that she would vomit.
As the saying goes, if you don't agree, there's no need to talk too much. Qin Wan stopped talking and ate quietly.
Qi Jing served Lu Yan gently and attentively, appearing quite docile.
Lu Yan was offended by Qin Wan today, and he coaxed Bai Wanyi with gentle words. Now that he was being served and cared for so carefully, he felt a little relieved. After dinner, he took Qi Jing's hand and went to her yard.
Old Lady Lu breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the two men's backs, and her heart was mostly at ease.
Although the marriage has not been consummated yet, it seems that Qin Wan still has feelings for Lu Yan, otherwise why would she take the initiative to take a concubine to show her goodwill?
For a family like theirs, such a thing would be a scandal. They could either beat the person to death or send him away. There are plenty of ways to deal with it. There's no need to let it get in the way and become an eyesore.
Old Lady Lu's mood calmed down, and she said to the nanny beside her, "Look, women are always double-minded. One moment they said divorce, and then they took a concubine. They're angry inside, and they blame Qiao for not consummating the marriage, and they use concubines to keep her, which is really holding her back. I think it won't be long before this family has a new baby."
