Chapter 291: The vest is revealed
Su Qianqian's mind was racing at this moment, thinking about how to make a excuse, and she walked forward with gritted teeth.
"Why is Miss Zhou here? My cousin went to Fushoutang with the Madam and asked me to go to her yard to get something..."
Su Qianqian took great effort to make up a lie.
"Master Su, do you want to go to the women's courtyard to get the things yourself? You guys at Wuning Marquis' Mansion are really open-minded and broad-minded."
Zhou Jinxi came back to his senses and smiled, then looked around Su Qianqian, finally settling on the purse, and his smile became even stiffer.
"Well... I have lived in the Marquis' Mansion for a long time. The old lady and my cousin have indeed been a little indulgent with me. I am sorry to make Miss Zhou laugh."
Su Qianqian had the urge to reach out and hide the purse. This was indeed her negligence. However, the color of her robe today matched the purse very well. After she went out, she found that Su Ye had put it on her. She didn't think much about it. Who knew that it would become a mistake at this time.
"It's okay. Sir, go get whatever you want. Since the Marquis's wife is not here, I will go to Fushou Hall."
Zhou Jinxi's expression returned to normal. He walked towards the courtyard gate. When he passed by Su Qianqian, he didn't even look at her.
[You're exposed!] You dropped your vest! you are done! 】The system gloated over the misfortune three times in a row with one click.
[Hurry, change your clothes quickly, maybe there is still a chance to make amends! 】
Su Qianqian didn't bother to argue with the system. She ran into the room, quickly removed her makeup and put on new makeup. At the same time, she ordered someone to see if Qin Yuzhuo had returned. If she had, she should come to Tinglanyuan.
Su Qianqian had packed up and Qin Yuzhuo also came in.
"Third sister-in-law, what's the matter?" Qin Yuzhuo was surprised. Su Qianqian seldom asked her to come to the yard. Normally, they should just go to Fushou Hall to talk. But she was called here by the maid just after she returned home. It must be an urgent matter.
Su Qianqian learned what had happened and compared the testimonies with Qin Yuzhuo before the two went to Fushou Hall.
In Fushou Hall, Madam Qin and three old ladies were accompanying Madam Tang and they were happily talking. The other girls were not called over, and Xin Jilan naturally could not show up at this time. Only Zhou Jinxi was sitting alone in a daze.
"Madam Tang, I'm sorry I'm late. I wanted to come directly to Fushou Hall when I came back, but suddenly I remembered that I had something to do with the Third Miss, so I ended up wasting a lot of time. Please don't blame me, Madam."
Su Qianqian bowed gracefully, and Madam Tang smiled and gestured: "It's okay, there's no need for so much formality. It's just that Jinxi went to your yard to look for you, but probably didn't meet you, so he came back unhappy."
Mrs. Tang glanced at her daughter and frowned slightly. She didn't know why she lost her temper. Was it just because she didn't see Su Qianqian?
Not only am I attracted to someone else's husband, but now I'm actually attracted to someone else's wife? This is such an injustice!
"I am really sorry for neglecting Miss Zhou. I will give this little thing to Miss Zhou. Please don't despise it. The maids have embroidered a lot of them. I have prepared them for several young masters and young ladies. My cousin has already worn it."
Su Qianqian took out a purse, which was the one she had just worn. At this moment, she didn't care about anything else and just cleared the suspicion first.
"Madam Hou, men wear things like this, how can I, an unmarried girl, wear them? What will happen if the news gets out?"
Zhou Jinxi spoke in a faint voice, his eyes never leaving Su Qianqian's face, as if he wanted to see through the person hiding under this mask.
"I neglected this. I just thought they were all my own sisters. No problem. I'll find a new one someday and find a good embroiderer to embroider one for Miss Zhou."
Su Qianqian was reluctant to give it at first, so she took the opportunity to back off and put away her purse, then gave Qin Yuzhuo a wink.
"Sister Jinxi hates wearing those sachets and purses the most. Sister-in-law, please don't bother. It's my fault that I came back late today. Sister-in-law came to me to ask about Brother Mian and Brother Li's martial arts training and waited for me for a while. I'm here to apologize to Sister Jinxi."
Qin Yuzhuo bowed to Zhou Jinxi and explained.
When talking about Brother Mian and Brother Li, Mrs. Tang felt relieved. The two eyes of the Wuning Marquis' Mansion were naturally the most important.
After asking Mian Ge and Li Ge a few questions, Madam Tang got straight to the point. She planned to ask the emperor to grant the marriage after Du Shi adopted Xin Jilan as her adopted daughter in two days. This time she came specifically to ask Du Shi's opinion.
Mrs. Du had already made preparations, and after these days, she had figured out everything.
From the Madam Dowager to Qin Yuqi, everyone who knew about this was trying to explain it to Li Ge. Li Ge did not object, but he was not very willing to see Xin and needed to adapt slowly.
She glanced at Madam Qin, smiled and said to Madam Tang: "This was originally Qianqian's idea, and we, as elders, are naturally willing to do it. Jilan has been living alone in our house for these years. If Jinghuai can protect her in the future, she will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
I know Jing Huai's character. Ji Lan has a soft personality. When she becomes the daughter-in-law of your Jinyang Marquis's Mansion in the future, Madam Tang will need to teach and bear with her. She will be no different from my biological daughter. Besides, there is Brother Li..."
Mrs. Du paused for a moment, then said with a smile, "We, the Wuning Marquis' Mansion, will marry off our daughter with a grand ceremony, but you, the Jinyang Marquis' Mansion, will have to be busy. We will not allow this Crown Prince's wife to be wronged."
"Okay, since you are so straightforward, Yunqi, and I, Tang Guoguo, am not someone who would hesitate, it's settled!"
Mrs. Tang was so happy that she announced her name. Qin Yuzhuo clenched his lips tightly and didn't laugh until his cheeks were sore. He didn't dare to look Mrs. Tang in the eye.
[Hahaha, Tang Guoguo, what a lovely name. She sounds even more like a baby than me. Judging from the name, Mrs. Tang is also a lucky person. She was doted on by her parents when she was at home, doted on by her husband after she got married, and doted on by her children and grandchildren when she got old. It’s just that these grandchildren came a little late…]
The system couldn't stand it, so it laughed out loud and also poked Mrs. Tang's sore spot.
The Qin family nodded secretly in their hearts. Although Mrs. Tang was not from a wealthy family and her mother's family was a family of military generals, she was the only daughter in the family. Just like Zhuang Yan, she was spoiled by her brothers, parents and like a treasure.
After marrying the Marquis of Jinyang, she continued to be favored. The only thing that did not go smoothly was the marriages of her children. They all fell in love with women from the Marquis of Wuning's mansion, and all of them were not successful.
"Hahaha, now that this matter has been settled, we won't stay any longer. Let's go back and make arrangements. We will come to watch the ceremony in two days."
Mrs. Tang seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly got up to leave, laughing.
[Hahaha, no wonder Madam Tang was so anxious. She had prepared betrothal gifts for the Crown Prince and the Second Young Master, but one of them went to the Northern Frontier, and the other said he would not discuss marriage no matter what.
A few days ago, Prince Zhou insisted on marrying the second wife, and she was so angry that she took away the betrothal gifts and sent them to her nephew from her natal family. Now that she is in a hurry to get married, she has to go and ask for them back!
Fortunately, she has the final say in her parents' home, and her brothers and nephews have to follow her temper, otherwise the betrothal gift might not be returned! 】
The system ate a melon, and Su Qianqian couldn't help laughing. She saw Mrs. Tang staggered, calmed herself down, and said goodbye.
