Bai Wanyi was certain that it was Qin Wan who bribed his people.
So although she felt pained when the emperor wanted to let those people go, she was not really reluctant to let them go. Even without the craftsmen, she still had the apprentices, and she could train them again. It also prevented her from leaking any new products to Qin Wan.
Xie Qing looked at her slightly crazy eyes, and he didn't understand why he was blind in his previous life. Or was it that this woman had concealed her mistake well in her previous life?
He took a few steps back in disgust, staying away from her. "Before you say that, you should look in the mirror and see what kind of person you are. You're not even as good as a hair of hers, and you're accusing her of plagiarism? Get lost!"
Bai Wanyi stared at Xie Qing blankly, not expecting him to say that, so...
Actually quite handsome.
Bai Wanyi didn't want to admit it, but he seemed to have a masochistic tendency. He wanted to say something else, but saw Xie Qing striding away.
She stamped her feet in disbelief: "What kind of person is this! I'm just better than Qin Wan! A thousand times better than her! You're blind!"
After cursing, Bai Wanyi felt a little regretful: "Should I not have mentioned Qin Wan? This way he can talk to me a few more words, even a few words is good. He is so handsome, worthy of being my destined male lead."
Bai Wanyi held her cheeks and fretted for a while before being driven away by the eunuch: "Madam, please leave the palace quickly."
"I know, I know."
Bai Wanyi said impatiently, then walked out quickly, lamenting his fate as he walked. The destined person is like a flower on a high mountain, difficult to climb, and Qin Wan, that green tea and white lotus, is blocking the way!
It doesn't matter! This is the test God gives you. The harder it is to get, the harder it is to be together, the sweeter it will be when you are together!
Bai Wanyi thought of the sweet moments they would have together in the future and laughed. Then, looking up, she saw Wu Ziya tying Lu Yan's cloak. Her expression instantly fell, "Why are you here, little sister?"
Wu Ziya smiled softly and gently, "I agreed with my husband that he would pick me up from my parents' house, but he didn't come. I knew he must have been stuck, so I asked someone to find out. Isn't he here to pick up my sister and husband? Is my sister cold? I prepared a hand warmer for her."
Wu Ziya took the hand warmer from the maid and handed it to Bai Wanyi.
Bai Wanyi had just been humiliated in front of Xie Qing, and now he saw the affectionate couple here. He was filled with anger and pushed the hand warmer away: "I don't want it! Use it yourself!"
"ah!"
Wu Ziya screamed, and the hand warmer flew out, the charcoal splashed and landed on her cloak, and flames instantly rose: "Husband!"
Wu Ziya pounced on Lu Yan in horror.
Lu Yan was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed the straps of her cloak and tugged. The burning cloak was thrown out by him. He held the shivering Wu Ziya in one hand and glared at Bai Wanyi coldly.
"I never knew you were so vicious! Ya'er gave you a hand warmer out of goodwill, worried you'd get cold, and you actually hurt me!"
Lu Yan was furious and raised his hand to hit Bai Wanyi, but Wu Ziya pulled him back. She said softly, "Don't blame me, sister. I didn't hold it firmly. Let's go home."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Lu Yan, Wu Ziya whispered again, "This is at the palace gate. If His Majesty knew about it, it would be bad for my husband."
Only then did Lu Yan suppress his anger, picked up Wu Ziya, got on the carriage, and drove away.
Bai Wan angrily yelled, "Green tea and white lotus! Such a sinister and vicious woman!"
Bai Wanyi had cursed enough and climbed into the carriage, holding her skirt and going home. When she got back to Qitongju, she asked persistently, "Where is the Marquis?"
The maid bowed her head and replied, "I went to Madam Yu's place in the main courtyard when I got back."
"Okay, very good!"
Bai Wanyi gritted his teeth, turned around and went out again. Before he even stepped out of the door, he was stopped by the nanny. She yelled angrily: "What are you doing!"
The nanny said politely, "Madam, you haven't finished copying the book you were supposed to copy today. Please continue."
"I am the wife of the Marquis! You have to listen to me!" Bai Wan was furious.
The nanny lowered her brows and eyes. "I, your servant, am here by order of the old lady to teach Madam the proper etiquette. Madam, as far as filial piety is concerned, you must obey me. For the future of the Marquis's mansion and the young master's future, you had better obey me as well. For your future, I advise you to control your temper."
Bai Wanyi's anger gradually subsided after hearing the nanny's words. Well, when she entered the palace and became the Crown Princess in the future, she would have to know these rules, so she might as well learn them. With this thought, she went back to her room to copy books.
***
It was late at night. Qin Wan was tired after a day of washing up. A few maids had just left when she heard a strange noise in the room. She turned around and saw Xie Qing carefully closing the window.
Qin Wan was speechless for a moment, then she grabbed the comb and threw it at him: "As a dignified prince, breaking into a woman's bedroom at night is so rude."
Xie Qing took the comb and casually placed it on the table: "I have something important to discuss with you. If I were to find you through normal channels, such as sending a letter requesting a meeting, or asking you out, would you meet me?"
Qin Wan was immediately choked up. She rolled her eyes at him. Wasn't this asking a question she already knew the answer to? She was already avoiding him, fearing she would be tied to the chariot of the succession war. How could she possibly meet him?
Zhenzhen brought the hand warmer over. Before she even entered the bedroom, she heard someone talking. She hurried inside and asked, "Miss, is there anything you need from me?"
Qin Wan raised her hand and said, "Have someone guard outside and don't let anyone get close."
Zhenzhen paused, looked at the bedroom right in front of her, and did not push the door open. She gestured to Taoyao and others to guard various places.
Qin Wan looked at Xie Qing and asked, "I wonder why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to visit my boudoir at night?"
Xie Qing took out a telescope and placed it on the table: "Look at this. Can you do it?"
Qin Wan lowered her eyes and looked. Isn't this a telescope? It's obviously not made by her, because she just made one here.
She thought about it, opened the drawer, took out the telescope she made, and put it on the table. After comparing them, she could see some differences.
The telescope that Xie Qing brought seemed to be more delicately made. It was only the size of a palm in the hand. However, Qin Wan's telescope was almost a foot long. When put together, it looked a lot bigger.
Xie Qing looked at Qin Wan in surprise, looking her up and down several times: "You actually did it?"
Qin Wan picked up Xie Qing's telescope and played with it: "Your Highness, don't doubt it, why would I do this?"
Xie Qing stared at Qin Wan for a long time. Liuli, the milk tea shop, the dim sum shop, it seemed that every one of them was one step behind Bai Wanyi.
It seemed that Qin Wan had placed spies around Bai Wanyi, so that she had learned everything from her, but...
Liuli was made by Qin Wan first. The skill of making dim sum cannot be learned overnight.
Xie Qing had some guesses in his mind, but he said, "You've been running the Lu family for eight years. If you don't have any manpower, wouldn't that be useless? That Bai family is also stupid. From top to bottom, inside and outside, they only employ people from the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. They don't know how to train their own people at all."
