Cuiming also said, "The Marquis still cares about Miss, but that Lady Zhao is always harassing him. I've been watching closely, and things have quieted down at Fengxuan Pavilion again these past two days."
Qin Yuan laughed even harder and said, "Hongye, you're smart all your life but you've made a foolish mistake this time. You went to trick Gu Shiliu into saying something, but you ended up helping Gu Shiliu pass on a message."
Hongye: "..."
Qin Yuan added, "The Marquis is only keeping the Seventh Miss in this way because he cares about her. If you count the days, the Seventh Miss will probably be locked up again for embroidery just a few days after being released."
The Marquis's family is a noble family, and raising a daughter in a military family is quite different from raising a daughter in a civilian family.

Hongye realized she had spoken out of turn again, and her face turned bright red.
Qin Yuan stopped talking and changed the subject: "When we have some free time tomorrow, let's go to the shop and find a capable manager so that he can take the money and stock up on more pepper."
"Pepper?" Cui Ming exclaimed in surprise, "That's a valuable item, almost as expensive as gold."
