Cui watched with a mixture of shock and envy.
She always knew that Hongye was quick-witted, but she wasn't this outspoken when she was in the Qin family.
Now we have such confidence.
Her daughter is truly remarkable; she not only wins over the entire Marquis's mansion, but she also manages to train the servants so well.
Her own children will likely have to rely on Qin Yuan in the future.
Then look at Qin Wan, who married this poor scumbag, and look at how she's become.
Lin's mother was also uncomfortable, saying, "After all, I am Madam's elder..."
Before she could finish speaking, Hongye interrupted, "If you can't speak properly, then shut up. It's not that I'm being rude, but who do you think you are, trying to act as the Madam's elder? Our Madam came here today because she heard that her younger sister suffered a terrible injustice in the Lin family. So don't try to act like an elder without any manners."
Seeing Qin Yuan's imposing and noble aura, her embroidered and elaborate clothes, her head adorned with jewels, and her large retinue of maids, servants, and guards, Lin Ziqi felt intimidated and dared not argue. With a livid face, he tugged at his mother's sleeve.
Lin's mother had no choice but to reluctantly perform the ceremony.
Halfway there, Qin Yuan said, "Hongye is too serious. They're all elderly people. Sigh, it's one thing if they don't know manners."
Lin's mother was even angrier.
Seeing Qin Yuan openly suppressing Lin's mother's arrogance and venting her anger for Cui and Qin Wan, Lin Ziqi dared not let his mother rely on her age any longer. He hurriedly said, "Madam, my cousin has had a miscarriage and is resting in the room. Therefore, she cannot come out to greet you. Please forgive her."
Qin Yuan waved her hand.
Hongye immediately said, "In that case, Madam will not pursue her rudeness."
Lin Ziqi respectfully led the way, and Lin's mother, no longer arrogant, followed behind with her pouting lips and swallowing her anger.
Cui felt much more at ease and thought that inviting Qin Yuan was a good idea.
The group then entered the courtyard.
The Lin family's courtyard was not large, and it was packed with them as soon as they entered.
Qin Yuan asked, "Where's my sister?"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Yan Hong rushed over and knelt down, sobbing, "This servant Yan Hong begs Madam to do justice for our young lady, for the sake of our many years of sisterhood."
Lin Ziqi retorted angrily, "You wretched maid, can't you speak properly? The Lady of the Marquis just arrived and hasn't even had a sip of tea yet, and you're already spouting nonsense. I haven't even held you accountable for causing Miss Biao's miscarriage, and you're already running around here making false accusations."
Qin Yuan said, "There's no need for tea. I'm only here for my sister. Brother-in-law, there's no need to worry. As the saying goes, 'If you only listen to one side, you'll be misled; if you listen to both sides, you'll be enlightened.' We'll find out what happened by discussing it together."
Yan Hong then explained the matter in detail.
Cui was so angry that she trembled all over.
She only knew that Lin Ziqi and Miss Biao were having an affair, but she didn't expect there was more to the story.
"What does this bitch take my daughter for, and what does she take our Qin family for?"
With Qin Yuan present, she became even bolder. With a wave of her hand, she said to the old women she had brought from home, "Drag that heartless wretch out here. She still has the nerve to lie in bed pretending to be dead. Don't think that I'll let her off the hook just because of this."
The old women, who had been unable to contain themselves any longer, pounced into Yu Niangzi's room like tigers devouring lambs and dragged her off the bed.
Madam Yu was lying on the bed in her everyday clothes. As the old women dragged her, her clothes were rolled up, revealing a lot of her snow-white skin. Her hair was disheveled, covering most of her pale face. She looked extremely disheveled.
Upon seeing this, Qin Yuan couldn't help but curl up her lips.
In her past life, Yu Xiaolian found her way to Jiangxi and spoke of her pitiful situation. Qin Yuan took pity on her because she was helpless and treated her with all her heart. However, she soon fell into Yu Xiaolian's trap.
It can only be said that some people are simply impossible to get close to.
Years later, it was discovered that Yu Xiaolian and Lin Ziqi were childhood sweethearts and had long been engaged.
Later, in order to curry favor with the Qin family, Lin Ziqi secretly broke off the marriage.
Lin's mother felt guilty towards her maternal relatives and felt particularly ashamed towards Yu Xiaolian. Both aunt and niece felt that Qin Yuan had taken the position of Lin Ziqi's legal wife and caused a lot of trouble in the backyard.
The affection between Qin Yuan and Lin Ziqi was completely eroded, and these two deserve much credit for that.
Lin Ziqi looked distressed, his hands clenched into fists and hidden in his sleeves.
Madam Yu was thrown heavily in front of Madam Cui, who scolded, "Why did you deliberately poison me? Did you want to harm the child in my daughter's womb?"
Madam Yu cried, “How could I have given you any medicine? I am a respectable woman, and I became pregnant because of my feelings for my cousin. It was certainly my fault, but my cousin’s wife should not have been so jealous. First, she had the maid bump into me and caused me to lose my child, and then she tried to frame me. How can a person be so cruel?”
A bucket of dirty water was poured on Qin Wan's head.
Madam Cui gasped, her eyes flashing with cold light as she looked at Madam Yu.
Qin Yuan then realized that Cui Shi had murderous intent.
Cui was not exactly kind in the Qin household, but she wasn't cruel either. However, she was willing to get her hands dirty for Qin Wan's sake.
Qin Yuan sighed inwardly.
No matter how muddled Qin Wan's actions were, in both her past and present lives, Cui Shi cared deeply for her.
It's so good to have a mother to protect you.
Yan Hong panicked and hurriedly defended herself: "You're talking nonsense! When I saw that Miss was not feeling well, I rushed out to find a doctor to see her, but you insisted on stopping me. I pushed you away, and you fell down on your own. Nobody in this courtyard knows that you and the young master have an affair, so how would they know you're pregnant? You always tell our Miss that you want to marry the young master's classmate so that you can be his right-hand man in the future, but who knew that you were secretly pregnant?"
Hongye exclaimed, "My God, are they going to make Lin's classmate a cuckold? If word gets out, who would dare to be Lin's classmate? Madam, you must keep a close eye on your son. If this woman enters the Qin family and takes a liking to him, who knows how she'll cause trouble."
Qin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Cui's face turned even uglier.
Yan Hong suddenly realized, "My goodness, just a couple of days ago, the young lady was hinting that she wanted to go back to her parents' home with Miss. Miss was unhappy and retorted a couple of times. She got angry and instigated the old lady to go to Miss's room and turn the things the young master sent upside down. So that's what she was planning."
Lin Ziqi's face turned ashen.
Madam Yu hurriedly said, "You two are making baseless accusations! The little maid didn't even cook medicine for my cousin-in-law, so how could I have put any medicine in her medicine? You're just trying to frame me. I only have eyes for my cousin. We grew up together, we're childhood sweethearts. Before, we..."
Lin Ziqi hurriedly interrupted, saying to Madam Cui, "Mother-in-law, this was originally a family matter for your son-in-law. Now that it has come to your attention, it is truly your fault. However, what's done is done, and she has lost her child, which can be considered a punishment. I beg you, Mother-in-law, to be lenient and forgive her."
