Qian Zhiqing's fingers trembled slightly. After a while, she glanced sideways at the furious Qian Shi. Although her heart was burning with anger, she still had to pretend to be at a loss and murmured, "I, I didn't expect it to be like this."
Madam Qian's foot was hurting more and more. Not only had her plans, which she had painstakingly made for many years, been rejected by the Marquis, but someone else had immediately taken over her place. In addition, Qian Zhiqing herself was useless and did this, which made the Marquis very dissatisfied with her and with herself.
After thinking about it, Qian felt a sense of darkness and her expression turned sour towards Qian Zhiqing.
"Alright, I'm a little tired, you can go back now."

Madam Qian twitched the corners of her mouth. After all, she was a child she had doted on for more than ten years. Even if she was angry, she wouldn't really hold a grudge. Otherwise, she wouldn't have repeatedly covered for her in front of the Marquis.

Madam was upset when she went to the Earl's mansion to discuss the marriage, and she's in a bad mood right now. You've just happened to be there. Once Madam calms down, she'll definitely have someone invite you over to talk."
Qian Zhiqing stopped in her tracks and stared intently at Granny Ruan. "Aunt is going to the Earl's mansion to discuss marriage? To whom? My cousin?"
Granny Ruan smiled. In this Marquis's mansion, the only person who could get Madam Qian to go and discuss marriage was the young master. Isn't Miss Ruan asking a question she already knows the answer to?
Qian Zhiqing's expression changed drastically, her beautiful face contorted in pain. "Tell me quickly, is it true or not?"
