The butler hurried over and spoke respectfully.
Qing Yue frowned. Qin Ningyue? Coming to see her?
She suppressed the smile in her eyes and nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Qing Yue looked back and saw Qing Zhan and Ping Yang still fighting. One of them was hiding with his head in his hands, and the other was hitting him with little punches. She didn't call out to the two of them, but walked out.
Qin Ningyue stood at the stone steps in front of the Qing family's door, kicking a stone under her feet with a heavy heart.
She was locked up at home for two days, and her relationship with her father became very strained. Her father wanted her to find Feng Ling. She was restless these days, but then she heard the news that Feng Ling was going to have a grand wedding with Qin Wan. She felt indescribably uncomfortable when she heard it, because all this love should have been hers.
Now, she is in a difficult situation.
Her father wanted her to marry Feng Ling as a concubine and compete with Qin Wan for Feng Ling's true love. When Feng Ling ascended the throne, she would be the imperial concubine. In this way, the Qin family's status in the capital of the Great Zhou would surely soar to the sky.
But now she was afraid and worried. She thought that by getting married and staying away from Feng Ling and Qin Wan, she might be able to keep the secret and save her life. But it was obvious that her father would not allow her to do so. He actually put her under house arrest and did not allow her to leave the house for two days. She relented today, and her father allowed her to go out.
After thinking it over, she went straight to Qin Wan.
Originally, she was not sure whether Qin Wan was in Prince Yu's Mansion or the Qing family. It was when she met Pingyang and saw her heading towards the Qing family that she guessed that Qin Wan should also be in the Qin family.
The reason she came today was to find out from Qin Wan whether Qing Yue was dead or not, and who else knew the secret of the teahouse four years ago?
With a creak, the door of Qing's house opened.
Qin Ningyue raised her head and saw Qin Wan walking slowly towards her.
She was wearing a moon-white long dress that was tied at the waist. She walked slowly, neither hurried nor slow, with her back straight and an outstanding temperament.
As I got closer, I could see more clearly. She didn't even wear any makeup. Her face was plain, but it couldn't hide her natural beauty. Her skin was so delicate that it looked as if her skin were as delicate as a baby's. Her eyes were as cold as frost and snow, with a hint of indifference that kept people at a distance.
"Miss Qin, I heard you were looking for me?"
Qin Ningyue was stunned when she heard Qin Wan's light voice, and then she came to her senses.
She pursed her lips, feeling complicated. She had actually lost her mind while looking at Qin Wan just now.
That day in the palace, she was kidnapped by Qing Yunyao's foreign master. She was in a miserable state and had suffered a lot of injuries. But just a few days later, she seemed radiant. Not only her appearance, but also her temperament, was like a cold plum blossom in the snow, or a moon in a cold pond.
Qin Wan is no longer the timid little pitiful person she was when she first came to the Qin family.
She frowned, feeling more and more uncomfortable. It was true that nobility nourishes people. This was because of the continuous happy events and the pampering of Prince Yu Feng Ling, so her complexion and temperament became better and better.
"I heard that Prince Yu is going to give you a grand wedding. Congratulations."
Qin Ningyue concealed the complicated look in her eyes and spoke out.
Qing Yue frowned slightly and looked up at Qin Ningyue. Seeing that she looked a little haggard, with dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't slept well, she sneered in her heart, "You came to me just to talk about this?"
Qing Yue's attitude was cold and she had no good feelings towards Qin Ningyue at all.
Qin Ningyue naturally noticed Qin Wan's distant and unhappy attitude. She sighed, "You don't have to be so hostile to me. I didn't come here for any other reason. I really just wanted to congratulate you."
"Qin Ningyue, you should be very clear about our relationship. You come to congratulate me? Do you believe what you said? Tell me, what's the matter? If there's nothing, I'll go back."
The impatience in Qingyue's eyes was already obvious.
She had no good feelings towards anyone in the Qin family, and she hated Qin Ningyue even more, especially when she thought about the physical intimacy she had with A Ling. This made her feel even more uncomfortable. But because Qin Ningyue had saved A Ling's life, she gave her face and came out to meet her.
Qin Ningyue was choked and almost couldn't breathe.
In the past, she would never have tolerated such humiliation. But now, thinking of Qin Wan's status and the purpose of her visit today, Qing Yunyao had to swallow her anger.
Seeing Qin Ningyue remained silent, Qingyue lost her patience and turned to leave. Qin Ningyue panicked and quickly stood in front of her, "Wait..."
"I have something to ask of you."
Qin Ningyue said directly.
"Please me? What's the matter?"
Qing Yue asked back, somewhat unable to understand Qin Ningyue's thoughts.
Qin Ningyue pursed her lips, as if she was having trouble speaking. She took a deep breath, as if she had finally made up her mind, and then she spoke, "It's father... You are now the Princess of Yu, and a favorite of the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine. You have also recognized the Qing family as your godparents and even included them in the Qing family genealogy. Father is very angry."
"What does his anger have to do with me?"
Qing Yue sneered, and the coldness in her eyes became even more pronounced when she thought of Qin Hongzhang. Not to mention that this man was extremely selfish, he had never treated Qin Wan as his daughter. Now that she had become Qin Wan, she had nothing to do with the Qin family. As long as the Qin family didn't bother her, she would be happy to keep her distance from them. But if the Qin family tried to cause trouble for her, she wouldn't mind letting them suffer.
"Father couldn't see you, so he took out his anger on me. He even slapped me two days ago. Qin Wan, I've never been beaten by my father since I was a child. This is the first time."
Qing Yue frowned and looked up at Qin Ningyue, "So? What are you looking for me for? Do you want to vent your anger on me?"
Qing Yue sneered, her face showing no trace of sarcasm or mockery, only indifference, as if whatever happened to her had nothing to do with her. She truly didn't take her seriously. This realization made Qin Ningyue extremely hateful...
But her face didn't show any of it. She just frowned as if suppressing her anger and said, "Qin Wan, you don't have to talk to me like this. No matter what, I am your legitimate sister. It was me who suggested bringing you back to the capital. That's why you are in this situation, isn't it?"
After hearing Qin Ningyue's words, Qingyue really found it a little funny.
She had previously looked up to Qin Ningyue and thought she was aloof and arrogant, but now, looking back, she was indeed Qin Hongzhang's legitimate daughter, with the same selfish blood running through her bones.
"So I still want to thank you? Qin Ningyue, have you forgotten the purpose of bringing Qin Wan back to the capital? Do you have the nerve to say it now?"
Qing Yue spoke in an unpleasant tone, her eyes were sharp, and she glanced at Qin Ningyue, which made her heart skip a beat.
"What on earth are you looking for me for? If you don't want to tell me, don't block my way, Qin Ningyue. I don't want to talk to you."
"I want you to ask the Emperor for a marriage for me."
