Nanny Chen was silent for a moment, then finally spoke: "There's no rush for this matter. I need to go and test Madam's opinion first."
"Your father's work has been getting worse and worse in recent years. I asked him to find someone to embroider a screen for you, but there's still no news. Why did he even send himself to jail?"
"Besides, why would your mother divorce him?"
Having said this, Nanny Chen's expression turned cold again.
Li Qinghe lowered her head and sobbed. Li Maocai grasped the key point and said quickly, "Grandmother, my grandson knows who embroidered that screen. My leg was broken because he was trying to snatch it."
"I almost went to jail, but Dad spent a lot of money to save me."
When Nanny Chen heard that her grandson knew who embroidered the screen, her eyes lit up: "Do you really know?"
"I know. Please ask Grandmother to introduce my sister to the Marquis' wife."
Li Maocai was also a shrewd person. Nanny Chen glanced at him and curled her lips slightly: "Are you still afraid that I will steal your credit? Okay, you two should go in first. I will ask Madam's opinion later and then call you over for questioning."
"Thank you, grandma." The eyes of the two siblings lit up instantly. As long as they saw the marquis' wife, their father would be fine.
Besides, the medicine was obtained by Bai Lian, and it was she who asked someone to instigate my father to cause trouble.
It has nothing to do with my father in the first place. As long as my father puts all the blame on Bai Lian, he will definitely be fine.
Maybe A Niang will come back by then. The more Li Qinghe thought about it, the happier she became.
After talking to the servant at the door for a few words, Nanny Chen took the two into the Marquis' Mansion. Nanny Chen brought the brother and sister to the small side courtyard where she lived.
Nanny Chen and her husband were considered loyal and reliable in the Marquis' Mansion. They were given a small courtyard, which was considered to be their own independent space.
"I'll get you something to eat. You must be hungry." No matter what, they are her grandchildren after all, and Nanny Chen still loves Jiang's daughter more.
Now that my grandson has come, I can’t treat him badly.
"Thank you, grandma. Do you need my help?" Li Qinghe asked obediently.
Nanny Chen glanced at her and smiled, "No need. Although we have our own small courtyard, we can't cook for ourselves. We all eat from the same big pot."
"Wait a moment, I'll ask your cousin to bring it to you while I go and find out what Madam thinks."
Nanny Chen left quickly, and the brother and sister felt very uncomfortable.
After waiting for a while, a girl dressed in a lotus-colored dress and dressed like a maid came in carrying a lunch box.
"It's cousin Qinghe and cousin Maocai, right?"
The girl came in, took out the food and placed it on the table. Then she smiled at the two of them and introduced herself, "I am the second daughter of your uncle. My name is Du Juan'er."
"Cousin Juan'er." Li Qinghe called out obediently, and Li Maocai stared at Juan'er.
Just as Du Juan'er was feeling somewhat disgusted, Li Maocai murmured, "I didn't expect my cousin to be such a beauty. I have never seen such a beautiful woman."
These words were of course meant to trick Dujuan'er, but Dujuan'er was happy to hear them.
"My cousin, you are so sweet. Thank you for the compliment."
"You must be hungry after traveling all the way here. Eat quickly." Dujuan'er gestured for them to eat.
Li Qinghe and his sister were really hungry, so they picked up their bowls and started eating. Their eating manners were not ugly.
After the brother and sister finished eating, Du Juan'er cleared the dishes and said, "Grandma said you should rest for a while. Your cousin can stay in the room on the left, and your cousin can stay in the room on the right."
"Don't worry, in five days, I will be the Third Master's concubine, and Madam will give Grandma this honor."
"Who is the third master?" Li Qinghe asked curiously.
Du Juan'er glanced at Li Qinghe, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled and replied, "He's the Marquis's third brother."
"Isn't that an old man?" Li Qinghe was shocked.
Du Juan'er was not angry: "It's not bad. The Third Master is only 37 years old this year and is still in his prime."
"Besides, the Third Master treats me well. Rather than marrying a servant and still being a slave, it's better to be half the master of the third courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion."
Li Qinghe was shocked when she heard this. Are the girls in the capital all so demanding?
Why don't you be a wife instead of being someone's concubine?
Even if you are a slave, you don't necessarily have to be someone's concubine. Isn't that humiliating yourself?
Du Juan'er glanced at Li Qinghe. Li Qinghe didn't need to say anything, she knew what the other person was thinking.
My cousin didn’t understand at all. She had always lived with her parents somewhere else and had no idea how difficult it was to make a living in the backyard of this marquis’ mansion.
Even if they have the protection of their grandparents, they are servants after all and cannot go beyond their masters.
Although she was the concubine of the Third Master, as long as she was obedient, there would always be a way out for her.
Du Juan'er did not hate her parents, but because she and her elder sister were good-looking, they sent them to the marquis's mansion to be raised by their grandparents.
Aren't they just hoping that they will become concubines or help them climb up the social ladder?
She didn't know how much she envied Li Qinghe, but that was life, and people had to accept their fate.
My sister is now the second master's concubine. I just hope that she can be smarter and not annoy the second lady, otherwise she will definitely suffer.
The second wife was frail and had no further health after giving birth to a daughter.
Thinking of what her sister said a few days ago, Dujuan'er became very worried.
"Okay, you guys take a rest first. I have something else to do and can't delay any longer." Dujuan'er stood up and hurried away with the lunch box.
Li Qinghe watched her leave and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother, it turns out that living in the Marquis' Mansion is not a happy thing."
