Tan and others sat at the table early in the morning, waiting for Wei Cunqing to come and have dinner together.
When Wei Cunqing came over, Tan stood up and said, "Xiao Qi, you're here? Didn't it delay your work?"
Wei Cunqing shook his head, "It's okay! Please sit down, Master's wife."
Several people sat down, and Tan invited Wei Cunqing to have dinner.
"Xiao Qi, these are your favorite foods, eat more."
Tan took care of Wei Cunqing as carefully as before.
Wei Cunqing was deeply touched, "Thank you, Master's Wife!"
The master's wife is the same as before, remembering all his preferences and being so good to him. Now that the master is gone, he naturally has to take on the responsibility of taking care of the master's wife, his senior sister, and his junior sister.
During the meal, Gu Jinli asked, "Uncle! Do you prefer to dine with us? Or do you prefer to dine with the people from the East Courtyard?"
Wei Cunqing: ...
People from the East Courtyard? Liu Qin and the others?
He seldom dined with Liu Qin and Jiang Qiuning, but more often he and Liu Qin dined alone.
Being with his master's wife and the others, he felt the warmth of family, and being with Liu Qin... he was naturally happy too.
Wei Cunqing looked at Gu Jinli with a smile on his face. "Li'er, why do you ask this? Uncle likes to accompany you, and he also likes to dine with Qin'er."
He is impartial and treats everyone equally.
Gu Jinli curled her lips: "But I don't like my uncle accompanying them! Uncle! You don't know, when you were not at home, the people in the East Courtyard bullied me! They bullied my mother and my aunt! Uncle..."
"Li'er! Stop talking nonsense! Aqing, don't listen to Li'er's nonsense. It's normal for children to have quarrels." Ma Yuzhi interrupted Gu Jinli.
Gu Jinli pouted in grievance and looked at Wei Cunqing angrily.
Wei Cunqing: ...
Gu Jinli said Liu Qin bullied them?
This is impossible!
Liu Qin would never bully them on her own initiative.
"Li'er, tell your uncle how they bullied you?" Wei Cunqing asked.
Gu Jinli glanced at Ma Yuzhi, and seeing that she didn't say anything, she dared to continue, "That Jiang Qiuning said I was a child without a father! She said her father was General Weiyuan, and his status was higher than mine! And that Liu Qin... She was right there, condoning Jiang Qiuning bullying me!
Uncle! Li'er is not a girl without a father, right? Li'er is loved by her uncle, and she is also a girl of noble status, right? "
Upon hearing this, Wei Cunqing frowned and said nothing.
How could Jiang Qiuning say such ridiculous things? Was Liu Qin right there, indulging her?
Is this possible?
But why would Gu Jinli wrongly accuse them? Gu Jinli also had no reason to wrongly accuse Jiang Qiuning and Liu Qin, right?
He couldn't conclude that Liu Qin and the others were wrong based on one side of the story. Perhaps there was some misunderstanding?
"Li'er! Stop messing around! Miss Jiang didn't mean it, and Miss Liu was even more unintentional. Don't make things difficult for your uncle." Ma Yuzhi stopped Gu Jinli in time and spoke up for Liu Qin.
Wei Cunqing was in no mood to continue eating. He just wanted to figure out what was going on! Was it Gu Jinli who wronged Jiang Qiuning and Liu Qin, or were they really doing it?
If Gu Jinli didn't lie, then Liu Qin...
"Li'er, don't worry, your uncle will take care of it for you! Master's wife, you guys eat first, I still have things to deal with, so I'll leave first." After Wei Cunqing finished speaking, he stood up and left.
After Wei Cunqing left the table, the Tan family members looked at each other silently, and no one spoke.
…
At this moment, Liu Qin did not continue to wait for Wei Cunqing, she ate alone.
Seeing Wei Cunqing rushing over, she just raised her eyelids and continued eating.
It wasn't until Wei Cunqing sat down that she spoke, "Didn't Seventh Brother go to the South Courtyard? Didn't he eat enough?"
Wei Cunqing: ...
When did Liu Qin start to like to act like a spoiled brat?
She knew clearly that there was no conflict of interest between her and her master's wife and the others.
His love for her and his care for his master's wife can coexist.
"Qin'er! Do you... do you really not like Master's wife and the others?" Wei Cunqing asked suddenly.
Liu Qin: ...
What does Wei Cunqing mean?
He had just returned from the South Courtyard and was already questioning her? Had he misunderstood her based on some gossip?
She didn't expect that she and Wei Cunqing would encounter these troubles.
Fortunately, she did not agree to marry Wei Cunqing, otherwise she would not be able to escape.
Rather than letting her get entangled with the Tan family for the rest of her life, it would be more satisfying to just slit her throat with a knife.
"Seventh Brother, what do you mean? But what did your master's wife and the others say? I don't even know them, so how can I like or dislike them?
Why would I dislike them? Tell me! What did they say? "Liu Qin put down her chopsticks and asked.
If Wei Cunqing doesn't explain clearly today, she will never let Wei Cunqing go!
Just after listening to Ma Yuzhi and the others' few words, he concluded that she was wrong?
She had always stayed in her East Courtyard obediently and had never gone to the South Courtyard to cause trouble. Instead, Ma Yuzhi and the others came to the East Courtyard to intimidate her!
Wei Cunqing was a little helpless. When did Liu Qin's temper become so bad?
He didn't say anything, why was she so angry?
"They didn't say anything, but...did Qiu Ning bully Li'er?" Wei Cunqing continued to test.
Liu Qin was speechless. She hadn't said anything yet?
Who is bullying whom?
Was it Jiang Qiuning who took the initiative to bully Gu Jinli?
It was obviously Gu Jinli who started the trouble first, and then Jiang Qiuning fought back, okay?
Don’t think that they can bully Jiang Qiuning just because her parents are not here!
With her around, no one can bully her future nephew-in-law!
"Gu Jinli complained to you? What did she say?" Liu Qin asked.
Wei Cunqing was a little hesitant, but in order to find out the whole story, he still spoke.
"Qiu Ning said Li'er is a fatherless child?"
Liu Qin's eyes were cold. "Do you think Qiu Ning would say this? Is she such a willful and outspoken child?"
Wei Cunqing thought about it and shook his head.
He didn't spend much time with Jiang Qiuning, but from what he knew, Jiang Qiuning was indeed a well-behaved and sensible child who knew how to read people's expressions.
Therefore, he didn't believe that Jiang Qiuning would say such a thing.
But... not necessarily!
If Jiang Qiuning wanted to protect Liu Qin, she might actually do something excessive.
He wanted to know what had happened. Gu Jinli was only nine years old and it was impossible for him to wish for Jiang Qiuning.
"Since Seventh Brother doesn't believe it either, why are you still asking? Although you think Qiu Ning isn't the type of person who would say such outspoken words, you prefer to believe Gu Jinli.
You also think Gu Jinli has no reason to lie, right? Ultimately, you're biased towards Gu Jinli, and you've already decided it's Qiu Ning's fault." Liu Qin analyzed the situation carefully for him.
