Jade said, "What do you mean by intentional or unintentional? Didn't Young Madam Lin get hurt?"
"..."
Lu Qingfeng seemed a little annoyed that she couldn't wrap her head around things, and added, "Whether she's injured or not is not important. What's important is that you already know she's injured and can't go out."
Jade pursed her lips, and in a flash, she finally realized what was going on.
Qin Sheng didn't say anything; she had already entered the carriage. Emerald and Qiao'er, who was still looking confused, quickly followed her in.
Emerald frowned and said, "I heard that the eldest son of the Lin family has a bad reputation. He seems to have some strange illness. I wonder if the young mistress of the Lin family has been bullied by him again."
"What Mrs. Lin wants me to know is that she has been bullied by her husband again."
Qin Sheng lightly bit the word "again" and closed her eyes.
She felt very sorry for Wu Xiaotong's situation and believed that no matter what, a man should not hit a woman, especially his own wife.
Even if there is some illness, it can be treated. What good doctor can't the Lin family afford?
Qin Sheng thought it was pure nonsense to say that violence was the only way to deal with the strange illness. When he had an attack, couldn't he find a few strong servants to subdue him?
Ultimately, it's just that Wu Xiaotong wasn't favored by her family when she was still a daughter, so her husband's family doesn't take her seriously.
Qin Sheng already had a vague guess in her heart.
No matter what, Wu Xiaotong still holds the title of the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wuping's family. It is absolutely unacceptable for her to be divorced by her husband; the Marquis of Wuping's family cannot afford to lose face like that.
If she wants to leave her husband's family, the only option is a divorce.
So, from the day she sent her the invitation, Wu Xiaotong had already planned it all out. No matter what, she wouldn't show up at Daji Temple today.
Sending her personal maid to say those words was merely a way to arouse Qin Sheng's suspicion and sympathy.
Qin Sheng sighed.
She knew that Wu Xiaotong wanted her to help her.
Having figured it out, she briefly explained to the two maids, and then said, "Young Madam Lin thinks too highly of me. What have I done to deserve this?"
Besides, divorce is just a family matter between the Marquis of Wuping's family and the Lin family. What right does she, an outsider, have to get involved?
Qiao'er blurted out, "They're only after you, my lady, the powerful backer you have."
"..." Jade couldn't stop her in time, so she could only secretly pinch the girl's arm.
Qin Sheng was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "My backer?"
She was about to say that her backing was the Left Censorate, but even that wasn't enough to...
Before she could finish thinking, Qin Sheng met Qiao'er's gaze and suddenly realized that she must be talking about Yue Rongheng!
"Your Highness."
Qin Sheng chuckled and said, "His Highness is so busy with state affairs every day, how could I possibly trouble him with such trivial matters that have nothing to do with him?"
Qiao'er exclaimed, "Your Highness doesn't need to come in person, does he? You can just use His Highness's name, right?"
She felt that even if His Highness knew about this trivial matter, he certainly wouldn't blame his wife.
"That's even more unacceptable."
Qin Sheng patiently explained to them, "The relationship between the Marquis of Wuping's mansion and the Liao family is already quite complicated. His Highness is already working very hard to balance the various forces in the court. It's fine if I can't help much, but how can I hold him back from the sidelines?"
"Furthermore, if this matter gets out, does that mean Your Highness will have to intervene whenever a woman wants a divorce?"
What has it become?
"..."
Qiao'er finally understood. She pursed her lips and said in a muffled voice, "This servant thought things were too simple."
Qin Sheng continued, "Moreover, the Marquis of Wuping's mansion and the Lin family are not like our Qin family and the Yin family. The two families have intertwined interests. If Young Madam Lin wants a divorce... I'm afraid it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven."
At least her parents and family supported her divorce at the time.
As for Wu Xiaotong... if she wants a divorce, not to mention her husband's family, the Marquis of Wuping's mansion probably won't agree.
Today is an auspicious day, and there are many people coming to Daji Temple to offer incense, causing some traffic jams with carriages coming and going.
As the master and servants chatted in the carriage, the conversation turned to Yue Rongheng.
Qiao'er said, "There was a rumor before that the Regent was going to marry a princess, but I haven't heard about it recently. I wonder if it's because His Highness doesn't like that girl."
Qin Sheng didn't know why, but she blurted out, "Who knows what kind of girl he likes?"
Qiao'er spoke even faster than her: "My wife, are you like this?"
"..."
Qin Sheng was taken aback, her face flushed, and then she scolded in a low voice, "You must not say such nonsense again."
Qiao'er was also startled. She quickly raised her hand and gently slapped her mouth, admitting her mistake, "This servant wouldn't dare to do it again."
Although all of their personal maids could sense that His Highness treated his wife differently.
But as different as they may be, this is something that shouldn't be casually mentioned.
Royal weddings are extremely particular about lineage and reputation; no matter what, the regent's principal wife cannot be a divorced woman.
Qin Sheng had calmed herself down and said, "We can't control what others think or say, but you all grew up with me since you were little, so you should understand some things. Besides..."
She paused, then lowered her voice: "I... have never thought of remarrying in this life."
Besides...
Qin Sheng closed her eyes, and Yue Rongheng's face flashed through her mind. She could not help him in any way, but she certainly could not harm him.
He's such a good person, he deserves to be with the best girl in the world.
We kept stopping and starting along the way, but we finally relaxed after leaving Daji Temple.
The scenery outside is delightful, and there are many people flying kites on the grass by the roadside, while children are running and laughing in twos and threes.
Qin Sheng couldn't help but lift the curtain and look outside.
Jade's worried voice rang in her ears: "Then, my lady, what do you plan to do about Young Mistress Lin?"
"There's nothing we can do."
Qin Sheng said calmly, "She didn't ask me for help, so I'll just tell her the truth when the time comes."
She would never drag Yue Rongheng into this mess for someone she barely knows.
Even though she sympathized with Wu Xiaotong's plight.
But beyond sympathy, there is also reason.
In the evening, Qin Sheng practiced martial arts with Lü Qingfeng in the courtyard as usual. She could now distinguish sounds by the wind.
Even with her eyes closed, she can hit the bullseye with perfect accuracy.
In addition, Lü Qingfeng taught her a few close-quarters combat moves and had her practice them repeatedly until they became second nature to her.
Qin Sheng worked up a sweat during the workout, but afterwards he felt refreshed and invigorated.
Lu Qingfeng held his knife and looked at her indifferently. He was a man of few words, and he never said anything all day long unless someone asked him.
