Qiu Wen said, "I'm perfectly fine, why are you asking that?"
Luo Xue then asked, "Don't you think it's a pity, Miss?"
"What's a pity?"
"I think the eldest son of the Han family is a good match. Don't you think it's a pity to just hand him over to the second young lady?"
Qiu Wen shook her head and said, "It's not a pity. I didn't tell you that my second sister had been in contact with the eldest son of the Han family before I broke off the engagement, but I just didn't expose it. The eldest son of the Han family isn't stupid, so he can naturally see who in the Qiu family is valued."
Even if he was forced to marry a merchant's daughter, he would still try to secure what was most advantageous for himself. It wasn't like his second sister was stealing his marriage. Even if he didn't want to break off the engagement, the marriage would still ultimately belong to his second sister. He only brought up the matter because he could gain some benefits.
Furthermore, since this young master of the Han family was able to meet with Qiu Yun in private, his character is worth observing, and Qiu Yun will suffer in the future.
This can be considered as paying for the original owner's life.
Luo Xue was somewhat shocked. She was just a maid who had never been literate before and had only recently begun to learn a few words. She didn't understand much about the inner workings of the household, let alone these things.
After her initial shock, Luo Xue said, "I see."
Qiu Wen joked, "Don't overthink it. The eldest son of the Han family may not be a good man. Maybe one day you'll meet someone better."
So Luo Xue put the matter aside.
Qiu Wen found the banquet rather boring and wanted to leave, but before she could, a clumsy maid got her clothes wet. Qiu Wen thought, why not take this opportunity to go back?
She then left this place with the falling snow.
To change clothes, she naturally had to go to her own courtyard. Qiu Wen was willing to follow the secluded route and didn't encounter anyone along the way. When she arrived at the courtyard, before she even went in, Qiu Wen suddenly realized something was wrong. Although there was no one guarding the courtyard, she hadn't planned to stay there permanently, so she had only brought Luo Xue with her.
When she left, she noticed that she had closed the door tightly, something she was somewhat obsessive about, but now the door was ajar.
Qiu Wen whispered, "Luoxue, let's leave first."
Luo Xue was puzzled and was about to speak when Qiu Wen gestured for her to be quiet.
Luo Xue didn't say anything, and Qiu Wen led Luo Xue away from her courtyard.
To be honest, Qiu Wen wasn't familiar with the Qiu family mansion to begin with. Plus, she had only been here a short time before she ran away. Then, it seems she accidentally took the wrong turn and ended up in a place she had never been before.
