Chapter 308 Qin Shi Deals with Li Bixi

At this time, Ningxinyuan.

Cheng Suying stayed with Qin.

Qin had been feeling very empty since the old marquis went to war, so these days, Lu Lingyun simply sent Cheng Suying to live with her to keep her company.

"Grandma, are you still thinking about Grandpa?"

Cheng Suying sat next to Qin and practiced calligraphy.

Qin, who was in a trance, came back to her senses after hearing her granddaughter's words and forced a smile, "Your grandfather hasn't led troops to fight in a long time."

Qin's marriage to the old marquis was not simply because her family was in decline, but was arranged by her family for the sake of profit.

She had met the old marquis at a polo match.

That year on the fence, the high-spirited young man, who was completely different from the other young men in Beijing, immediately caught her eye.

He has all the sharpness and wildness of those young masters without the sharpness and wildness.

Later she found out that their home was the newly-incorporated Ningyang Marquisate.

The old marquis had been to the battlefield with his father at a young age, and he had the air of a frontier warrior.

After that glance, she took the initiative to plan for herself. After the Duke Qin's Mansion was completely defeated, she took the opportunity to stay in the capital and marry in the capital in the name of continuing the family.

Even if you marry down.

It caused a sensation when the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, who was so wealthy and powerful at the time, married into the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion, which had almost no foundation.

Everyone secretly said that the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qin's Mansion was very scheming and strategic. The newly-appointed Marquis' Mansion had no foundation and would eventually become a branch or minion of the Duke of Qin's Mansion.

Only Qin herself knew that she married the man she wanted to marry despite having such a big title and being scrutinized and speculated about.

She is sincere about the Ningyang Marquisate and the old marquis.

"Grandma, grandpa is so brave and powerful, he must be killing people everywhere. You shouldn't worry. What you should worry about are those Hu people." Cheng Suying said.

Hearing her say this, Qin suddenly felt relieved of her anxiety and started to laugh.

She reached out her hands and embraced Cheng Suying, holding her in her arms and loving her, "No wonder your mother always said that you have honey on your lips and are used to coaxing people."

"No, I'm not someone like that. I don't know how to fool people." Cheng Suying said.

In her opinion, the one who was coaxing others was the one from Bishuiyuan. Her words were full of honey, and she always said a lot of soft and sweet words to coax her father around.

"Hey, who is the someone our Siying is talking about?" Qin said with a smile, "Why does your tone sound like you are trying to outdo someone else?"

At this moment, Cheng Suying saw her father's figure from the window.

She immediately shut up.

Qin was still wondering why she stopped talking when she heard Cheng Yunshuo's voice coming from the door.

"mother."

When Qin looked up, she saw Cheng Yunshuo striding in.

"You're here." Qin's mood improved a lot when she saw her son coming.

She was just about to talk to Cheng Yunshuo about the relationship between mother and son when she heard Cheng Yunshuo say, "Mother, isn't Mrs. Cui from Duke Xu's mansion your confidant?"

"What's wrong?" Qin was slightly startled when she heard Cui's name. Why was she being mentioned for no reason?

Ever since the incident with Qin Shaojing, Qin and Cui have become estranged.

Qin Shaojing's series of troubles back then were indeed ugly, which made Cui look down on him. Qin went there twice, hoping to seek some help, but she felt the other party's vague dislike and with little Cui in the middle, the relationship became distant.

They only exchanged gifts and letters during festivals and rarely met each other.

Qin was confused when Cheng Yunshuo suddenly mentioned her old friend.

"You go talk to Madam Cui and ask her for a letter of recommendation for Tianfu Academy written by a prestigious scholar in your family, so that I can arrange for Bingzhi to enroll." Cheng Yunshuo said.

As soon as these words fell, Qin's face changed.

Good guy, he never even shows up on normal days, but when he comes, he asks her to do something.

Not to mention that her relationship with Cui is now tense, unlike before. Her father had just gone to war a few days ago, and she was feeling sad. Even her granddaughter knew to come and comfort her and talk to her.

It was a rare visit for Cheng Yunshuo, her biological son, and he asked her to do something right away.

It was still the matter of his illegitimate son.

Qin immediately felt disappointed and angry.

"Is that why you came to see me?"

Completely unaware of his mother's change of mood, Cheng Yunshuo nodded and said, "Yes."

At this time, even Cheng Suying couldn't help shaking her head. She said, "Father, Grandpa just went to war a few days ago, and grandma is worried about him. Don't bother grandma with your trivial matters now."

"How can this be a trivial matter? Bingzhi is also your younger brother. His admission to school is as important as yours."

Cheng Suying: “…”

I'm so angry. Why is she reminding him with such a filthy mouth?

My biased father can do whatever he wants! How stupid of him!

Sure enough, after he said this, Qin's face turned completely cold.

"Asshole, you don't even have the slightest understanding of Siying!" She started to curse Cheng Yunshuo.

"Your father is still fighting outside at such an old age for the sake of this family, and what about you? It's ok that you are too busy with official duties to take care of other things, but you are actually busy with your illegitimate son in the backyard all day long!"

This was the time when Qin was the most vulnerable and helpless. No matter how big the matter was, it was not as important as the old marquis's affairs. Cheng Yunshuo, as the only son in the family, did not worry about his father or support the family, but worked hard for a bastard, which really hurt Qin.

"Mom, how can you say that?" Cheng Yunshuo was slightly dissatisfied, "Bingzhi is also your grandson."

"My grandson?" Hearing this, Qin became even more angry. "Bing'an and Binghao are both my grandsons. They come to see me every day after school. Xuying has been with me these past few days. Which of your children, born to that vixen in your courtyard, has ever come to see me!"

After the old marquis left, neither Cheng Bingzhi nor Cheng Lanying came. Firstly, they were unwilling to come, and secondly, Li Bixiang knew her own worth.

She looked very much like Cheng Yunshuo's concubine, and was actually a mistress, which made the two elders very unhappy. Qin only loved the legitimate daughter-in-law Lu Lingyun.

He doesn't take me seriously at all.

Li Bixi was a smart person. She felt that there was no need to please them and it was a waste of time. She just didn't want to come to Ningxinyuan to bother her and just pretend that she didn't exist.

Now, this non-existence has become a crime.

"I never care about those messes in your courtyard. Now I think you have been bewildered by the vixen in your courtyard! For her, you can't even tell the directions! If I don't deal with this vixen, I think this mansion will become hers!" Qin was so angry that she wanted to deal with Li Bixi as well.

"Mom! What are you doing?" Cheng Yunshuo realized that his mother was angry. "Bixi is a well-behaved girl. Why are you punishing her?"

"She's honest? I think she's the most troublesome! Someone, bring Aunt Li over here!"

"I have never taken care of any of those vixens in your courtyard!"
