child?
The Sixth Princess was extremely shocked. It turned out that the ball Luo'er was talking about was the child. She thought it was a valuable ball that she was carrying around.
Suppressing the shock in her heart, the Sixth Princess said softly:
"Having lived in the capital for so long, she must have been dazzled by its wealth. She might not be satisfied with the family your mother has found for her."
[I have to say, the truth about the Sixth Princess has been revealed.]
Qin Qianqian looked helpless. "You're right. My mother showed her portraits of some young masters in the capital, but she always said they weren't suitable."
They say it's not suitable, but in fact they think these gentlemen's family background and appearance do not meet their expectations.
Many people in the capital pay attention to the matching of family backgrounds. Liu Qian is just an ordinary peasant girl. It is impossible for the legitimate sons of officials to look down on her, and as a daughter of a concubine, she looks down on others.
"Not suitable? Which gentlemen did your mother choose for her?"
Qin Qianqian told all the young men that Madam Qin had chosen, and the Sixth Princess clicked her tongue twice.
"Although these people are illegitimate, their family traditions are excellent. Your mother selected them with such care, yet she still says they are unsuitable. This palace thinks she simply despises these people. She herself is not a fairy-like appearance, yet she still chose them."
"These gentlemen may not be willing."
Mu Xue picked up the tea and took a sip.
"The mothers of these people know my mother, and she said we could meet each other first."
In fact, Qin Qianqian knew that these people said this to give face to her mother. Just as the Sixth Princess said, if Liu Qianruo really looked like a fairy, there might be room for selection.
"Since she despises you, just tell your mother to leave her alone and let her be."
After all, it would be really unlucky if the other person's son really married her. When this matter was exposed, Mrs. Qin would be criticized by others.
Anyway, as long as it drags on like this, there will be nowhere for the baby in Liu Qian's belly to hide without her reminding Qin Qianqian.
[Yeah, leave her alone and wait for her to worry about the baby.]
She's still thinking about using the baby in her belly to climb up the social ladder, so she definitely won't get rid of the baby.
"I'll tell my mother when I get home."
Qin Qianqian suddenly remembered what happened between Xu Xiaoxiao and Mu Chen, looked at Mu Xue, and asked with a gossipy look on her face.
"Sister Xue, Brother Mu's cousin is gone?"
Mu Xue shook her head. "After that incident, we were supposed to send him away, but Second Aunt didn't want to."
[Mrs. Xu is truly capable. She really wants to keep her niece at home for the New Year.]
"What is your second aunt thinking?" Qin Qianqian expressed her confusion. "Brother Mu and Sister Xiaoxiao have no feelings for each other, so why would she do this?"
After chatting for a while, Qin Qianqian felt that the things happening in her family were nothing compared to Mu Chen's miserable situation. After all, her father and mother were still clear-headed.
After leaving the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, the Sixth Princess called out to Qin Qianqian, "You must tell your mother not to pick a husband for Liu Qian anymore. No one knows what will happen next. Don't let it become a thankless task."
Seeing the Sixth Princess' serious expression, Qin Qianqian smiled and said, "Don't worry. It's rare that the honorable Sixth Princess is so worried about me. I will definitely tell mother."
The Sixth Princess snorted softly, "Who's worried about you? I just think your reputation is bad enough already, and your cousin is no easy feat. If you really marry into the family your mother arranged, your reputation will be even worse."
"Okay, you're not worried about me."
Watching the Sixth Princess's carriage depart, Qin Qianqian curled her lips and muttered, "He's just as tough on the outside as the Fourth Prince."
Qin Qianqian retracted her gaze and walked forward, only to hear the maid beside her exclaim, "Little Princess, why are you still here?"
Following the maid's gaze, Yu Yiluo walked out from the carriage of the two.
"I'm going to your house."
"To my house?"
Qin Qianqian walked to Yu Yiluo with a happy face, and told the maid to go to the Sixth Princess's Mansion to tell the Sixth Princess that the little princess was with her. She happily carried Yu Yiluo into the carriage.
The carriage stopped at the Qin Mansion. Qin Qianqian got off the carriage and carried Yu Yiluo into the mansion.
The two walked to the corridor and found a person standing in front of them. This person was Liu Qian. She seemed to be waiting here specifically for Qin Qianqian.
Seeing Qin Qianqian coming over with Yu Yiluo in her arms, she was surprised at first, then she smiled and stepped forward to salute.
Qin Qianqian walked towards her yard and asked, "Cousin, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Liu Qian stood up and followed her, curiously asking, "Why did the little princess come back with her cousin?"
Such a young child shouldn't be followed by groups of palace maids and eunuchs, but why is she running around like a wild child? Isn't it said that the emperor dotes on this little princess? How can he be so confident in her?
"The little princess wanted to come to the mansion to play, so she came along naturally."
Entering Qin Qianqian's yard and pushing the door open, Qin Qianqian took a cushion and put it on the chair before putting Yu Yiluo on it.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Qin Qianqian saw Liu Qian staring at Yu Yiluo and asked with some displeasure.
Liu Qian actually wanted to get closer to Yu Yiluo, but the other person's gaze seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, making her dare not go forward.
She retracted her gaze, blushing, and said, "I've been staying at your house for so long, I feel really bad about it, so I want to find a suitable husband as soon as possible so I don't have to bother you all the time."
Qin Qianqian didn't take it seriously. She sat down on the chair and said calmly, "Didn't Mother show you the portraits a few days ago? Don't you think any of them were to your liking?"
"Those gentlemen are naturally excellent," Liu Qian pursed her lips and twirled her sleeves, "but I don't come from a humble background. Unlike you, my cousin, who was born with a silver spoon in your mouth, I know in my heart that I'm not worthy of those gentlemen."
"Those illegitimate sons and cousins don't think they're good enough for you. I really don't know what kind of person you want to choose."
Liu Qian lowered her eyes and bit her lip, thinking that Madam Qin really wasn't really doing this for her own good. With so many powerful people in the capital, she actually chose a bastard's son for her.
Could it be that in the other party's eyes, she is only worthy of those bastards?
If all she wanted was a bastard husband, why would she travel all the way to the capital? She might as well stay in the county...
"I just want someone I like," Liu Qian said, her voice choking with sobs. "My father died when I was just born, and my mother raised me with great difficulty. I don't want her to worry about me, so I want to choose carefully."
Wiping away her nonexistent tears, Liu Qian smiled sadly, "I envy my cousin so much. She's been living a life of luxury since she was little. I'm afraid she doesn't even know the difference between grains. Unlike me, I had to help my mother with farm work at a young age, and I've never even seen my grandparents."
Over the years, she has been wondering if she would have been born a rich lady like Qin Qianqian if her mother had not been kicked out by the Deng family.
Yu Yiluo ate the pastries brought by the maid and watched Liu Qian's performance quietly.
[You have no tears at all, yet you keep wiping them away. If you can't cry, then don't cry. Why are you forcing it?]
[Who should you blame for your mother being kicked out? It's her own fault.]
