Qin Yurong's pupils suddenly constricted, "You!"
The Anguo Marquis's Mansion has been refusing to give in, and even planned to buy a small courtyard to keep her there as He Huaixuan's concubine, and not allow her to enter the house.
Qin Yurong felt very uncomfortable.
She originally wanted to be the wife of the prince and a proper lady of the Marquis's mansion in the future. But seeing that Old Madam He was unhappy today, she probably could only be a concubine. Unexpectedly... she was not even allowed to enter the Marquis of Anguo's mansion!
Madam Jiang deliberately defended Qin Yurong and frowned slightly, "Qingyao, stop making trouble. We can talk about Rong'er's matter another day."
Make trouble?
She just changed her fiancée, and they wanted to eat her alive. Qin Yurong climbed into the prince's bed, making her a laughing stock and the entire Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion a laughing stock, but why didn't they say a word of criticism?
This legitimate daughter of hers was probably picked up?
Jiang Qingyao turned a deaf ear to the old lady's words and said, "I just feel unfair for my sisters. My cousin did such a shameful thing. People in the capital will mistakenly think that the young lady of our Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion is of poor moral character. My marriage is already decided, so it doesn't matter. I'm afraid it will affect my sisters' marriages."
Hatred welled up in Qin Yurong's eyes. She and Brother Huaixuan truly loved each other. If Jiang Qingyao hadn't interfered and pestered Brother Huaixuan, she would have been Huaixuan's wife long ago. How could this scandal have happened today?
When she heard that it would affect her daughter's marriage, Xu was indignant and wanted to slap Qin Yurong.
She gritted her teeth and said, "What a wicked creature! Our Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion has taken you in for so many years, and this is how you repay us?"
"What does the Anguo Marquisate say? They probably look down on your background, don't they?"
Xu looked at Old Madam Jiang and said, "Mother, we have raised her for so many years and have done our best. Why don't we send Rong'er to a nunnery to practice cultivation for the rest of her life?"
Hearing this, Qin Yurong's face turned pale and she immediately panicked. She didn't want to go to the nunnery to live a hard life!
She quickly tugged at Madam Jiang's sleeve and begged, "Grandma, please don't kick me out. I beg you, Rong'er doesn't want to leave you, I don't want to leave the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion!"
Jiang Yunxue had disliked her for a long time. It was really an honor for her to be compared with the young ladies in the mansion as a cousin.
"You've done such a shameful thing, and you still have the nerve to beg for mercy from Grandmother?"
Earlier, Madam Jiang just said she had a headache to smooth things over, but this time she was being yelled at and she did feel a little uncomfortable.
Madam Jiang waved her hand, rejecting Xu's proposal, and said in a deep voice, "I'll go talk to the people from the Anguo Marquis' Mansion later. Everyone, please leave."
Jiang Qingyao narrowed her eyes slowly. The old lady's protection of Qin Yurong was too obvious. She didn't think much about it in her previous life, but she would investigate it in this life.
Don't miss any clues.
Why is the old lady so partial to Qin Yurong? Their relationship is probably not as simple as it seems.
Everyone returned to their own yard.
Jiang Yunxue: "Mother, that bitch Jiang Qingyao actually dared to slap me in the face. How am I supposed to face people tomorrow? I curse her to a horrible death!"
Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter's face, her eyes red with heartache, and she applied medicine to her carefully.
"Okay, okay, my dear Xue'er, let Jiang Qingyao be proud for a while, and soon she won't be able to laugh anymore."
"Jiang Qingyao's temporary replacement must be of concern to the Crown Prince. From now on, the Crown Prince will be in charge of the Marquisate. I'm afraid Jiang Qingyao's life will be difficult."
"Besides, if she marries the Marquis and he doesn't come back, she'll be a widow her whole life, childless, and her fate will only be worse when she's old."
Hearing that Jiang Qingyao's future was worrying, Jiang Yunxue finally had a smile on her face.
Suddenly she thought of what Qin Yurong had done, "Mother, it's all Qin Yurong's fault. Will my future marriage be affected?"
Xu also felt that Qin Yurong was unlucky, so she coaxed her, "Don't worry, Xue'er. That bad luck star married into the Anguo Marquis's Mansion and became his wife. With this connection to the Marquis' Mansion, you can choose a better husband."
Jiang Yunxue was filled with hope after hearing this. The corners of her mouth curled up as she murmured softly, "At least it's better than Jiang Qingyao marrying a dead man with nothing but a title."
Marquis Anguo will never come back, and Jiang Qingyao can only live as a widow.
Back at Huajianju, Jiang Qingyao took out a mahogany box from under the bed. The box was covered with a thin layer of dust.
Zhitao was puzzled: "Why did the young lady take out the box left by the lady? What is the young lady going to do?"
The box contains the relics of Jiang Qingyao's mother, Xue, and Jiang Qingyao would take it out and look at it from time to time.
This box was accidentally lost in the previous life. Jiang Qingyao hadn't seen it for a long time and felt a sense of joy at getting it back.
Jiang Qingyao didn't answer but asked, "What did you learn from today's events?"
Zhi Tao was confused, "Ah? Miss... this, I am stupid and can't think of it."
Jiang Qingyao laughed and said, "If the enemy extends his face towards you, hit him hard, then hit the left cheek and then the right cheek."
Zhitao exclaimed, the young lady is really different!
But it’s a brilliant idea indeed.
Zhitao replied readily, "I understand."
After a while, Jiang Qingyao handed the envelope to Zhitao and instructed: "Give this to Ma Liu and ask him to hand it over to Sixth Cousin personally."
Ma Liu is the groom of the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, but secretly he is the man of the sixth cousin.
Zhitao: “Yes!”
Watching Zhitao's departing figure, Jiang Qingyao let out a faint smile. "The people in Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion are living too well, so well that they've all forgotten who gave them the confidence to live this way."
Some debts need to be collected.
…
It's already daybreak.
In front of the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, Jiang Qingyao walked down the steps and a carriage stopped in front of her.
"Miss Jiang." A call came.
Jiang Qingyao's eyes met the visitor's. The calmness on her face froze instantly. A trace of hatred flashed across her eyes, but she suppressed it silently.
He Huaixuan looked at her. She was dressed simply today, in a moon-white long dress with a light green gauze draped over her arms. Her face was not made up, but her beauty was outstanding, just like the graceful lotus.
He Huaixuan couldn't help but feel shaken.
The girl is at the age of a flower, smart and beautiful.
She is his wife.
He Huaixuan suddenly felt dry mouth and wanted to...
No, the purpose of his coming today was to test Jiang Qingyao and see if she had memories of her past life like him.
