Zhang Tingyu continued to receive messages from Qiu Wen and gradually learned what had happened. Admittedly, although Zhang Tingyu felt sorry for Qiu Wen's ordeal, he was still happy that she had found her biological family.
On the one hand, Qiu Wen's life in the Qiu family was really not good. Now that she has found family, she finally has someone to love and pamper her.
On the other hand, it's because this way, their marriage will proceed more smoothly.
Although he was confident he could overcome the difficulties, he ultimately hoped their relationship would blossom smoothly and bear fruit, rather than be tumultuous.
There's no such thing as a love story filled with intense, tragic passion. With more things to do and more troubles to deal with, even the most beautiful love can't withstand the exhaustion of dealing with each other over time. In the end, all that's left between the two people are beautiful memories and trivial troubles.
This is the best possible outcome.
Zhang Tingyu felt very lucky to have met someone he clicked with early on and wanted to spend his life with. Now that their statuses were more compatible, it couldn't be better.
He pulled himself out of his thoughts and began to focus on the imperial examination.
On Qiu Wen's side.
“Miss, no, once we get to the capital, we’ll have to call you Princess.” Luo Xue said with a smile.
Recently, Faka sent two nannies from the capital. One was to teach Qiu Wen etiquette, and the other was to teach the etiquette of the servants around Qiu Wen. Niohuru is a major Manchu surname, and their etiquette is different.
Therefore, we need to relearn etiquette.
The nanny who came also noticed that Qiu Wen seemed to have some basic knowledge, and was even happier. Qiu Wen was quick to understand and learn, which saved her a lot of trouble and effort.
The two nannies who came this time were mainly there to teach Qiu Wen's servants etiquette.
Faka also knew that Qiu Wen couldn't leave all her servants here when she went to the capital; she would always take her trusted confidants with her.
That's why they took this action; it was quite thoughtful and considerate.
"Let's use the local terminology here! We'll talk about the rest when we get back to the capital!"
"Yes, Miss."
"By the way, Miss, didn't someone send a letter from the capital saying that everything has been arranged? When are we going to the capital?"
Luo Xue spoke with a hint of longing. She had never been to the capital and longed to visit it, as it was the capital city and she had heard it was very prosperous.
"You really want to go?"
"This servant doesn't particularly want to go either." Luo Xue said this somewhat against her will.
"Alright, I know you want to go, but let's wait a few more days! We need to get everything ready before we go. Also, how's your etiquette learning going?"
"Don't worry, Miss, we're learning very well!"
Qiu Wen was aware of their progress and didn't say anything. They were indeed learning quite well, but she still wanted them to practice a bit more.
Furthermore, her business needs to be reorganized, otherwise she won't feel at ease.
The capital city.
Hualien has been under lockdown for quite some time.
"What did the master say?"
"Replying to... Madam, the master has... sealed off our entire courtyard, preventing anyone from leaving."
Hualien exclaimed in disbelief, "How could this be? Where is Master? I need to see Master! Master wouldn't do this to me... It's impossible..."
Hualien doesn't believe it, how could that be!
"Where is Guo Qixun? Where is his son?"
"Reporting to Aunt, Second Master is also under house arrest."
"By the way, where's Guo Xin?"
"Grandpa...Grandpa has also been placed under house arrest."
Hualien was truly incredulous. She knew best about Faka's favoritism towards Guoxin, yet even Guoxin was confined to his quarters. What was the reason for this? Hualien was puzzled.
She desperately needed to know what had happened, but the entire courtyard was now sealed off, and she had no clue what was going on.
"Qiu'er, please help me. Can you find a way to let people outside find out why Master has confined me to my quarters?"
"Don't worry too much, Auntie. Maybe it's nothing serious!" What Qiu'er didn't say was that, out of respect for the former Fujin, the master wouldn't make things too difficult for Auntie Hua.
"But what you're doing now is unprecedented!"
Aunt Hua already had something to hide, so she was even more eager to know what had happened.
“Aunt, I heard some time ago that the Fujin went to the front courtyard and stayed in the master’s study for quite a while before leaving. Aunt, do you think the Fujin said something that made you so passive?”
Aunt Hua said, "That's possible. You should quickly find a way to have someone outside inquire and see if they can find out what the Fujin said to the master."
Hualian knew that Hesheli had gone to the study in the front courtyard, but she didn't take it too seriously. Over the years, the master's trust in her and his wariness of his wife had made her complacent.
But she never expected that such a moment of relaxation would lead to this situation. It was her carelessness that caused this. The most important thing now is to find out what the Fujin (wife) said to the master that made him so angry that he confined her to her quarters, and also confined his two sons.
In the main courtyard, Hesheli has been very happy lately. A nanny is talking to Hesheli about the situation in Hualien.
"Madam, the gates around Concubine Hua have been completely sealed off by the Master's men. Also, almost all the servants in the manor have been replaced. Concubine Hua's courtyard is sealed off, and no one inside has been moved. Besides the people in Madam's courtyard, even many of the people in the Master's own courtyard have been moved!"
The old woman was naturally happy when she spoke of it. When the Fujin first married into the family, she had a hard time getting by in the mansion. She herself felt wronged during those two years, let alone the Fujin.
