Chapter 478 Questioning
After Zhilan and Sujin helped Qin Huiyin take a bath and rest, they prepared to return to their own rooms.
The two maids could have had their own rooms, but they had a good relationship and wanted to keep each other company. They also wanted to give each other advice on serving the young lady, so they asked the housekeeper to arrange a double room for them.
At this time, the two of them passed the corner gate and were about to turn inside when they saw Runiang coming from the opposite side.
"Sister Runiang." Zhilan and Sujin greeted her and were about to leave, but were stopped by Runiang.
"I came here specially to see you." Runiang said, "Madam has something to ask you."
Zhilan and Sujin looked at each other.
Madam must have come to them for the young lady's affairs. But in the past, if Madam had anything to ask the young lady, she would ask her directly, and she never asked the maids about the affairs of Huiyin Courtyard.
Tang Dafu was not in the room, only Li Taohua was in the room.
Li Taohua asked Runiang to guard the door, and then looked at Zhilan and Sujin.
"What happened to you today, Miss?" Li Taohua asked.
Zhilan and Sujin did not dare to hide anything and explained everything that happened today.
"How many days has the young master of the Anping Marquis's Mansion been harassing your young lady?" Li Taohua clutched the stone table beside her.
"Yes, ma'am."
"That man is extremely shameless. He first sent some rare flowers as a gift, but when he saw that they were of no use, our young lady ignored him and went to seek an official position in the Military Department. Now our young lady has to see him. He is in charge of the East City Military Department and has taken away the position of the original Mr. Song." Zhilan said.
"Like father, like son," Li Taohua said dryly, "You guys can leave! There's no need to mention what happened today to Yinyin."
"Madam, please don't be too angry." Su Jin saw that Li Taohua's face was not right, and said worriedly, "Should we ask the second young master to come and take a look?"
"I'm fine. I'll be fine after a while." Li Taohua waved her hand and asked the two maids to leave.
Ru Niang's voice came from the door: "Meet the Master."
"What are you doing here?" Tang Dafu said, "You don't need to serve me at night. I'll be there to accompany my wife."
After saying that, Tang Dafu opened the door and walked into the room with a smile.
When he saw Zhilan and Sujin leaving, the smile on his face disappeared. He looked at Li Taohua and trotted over.
"Wife, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell? I'll go call Brother Xiao over now."
Li Taohua grabbed Tang Dafu's wrist and said calmly, "I'm just hungry. Go to the kitchen and get me something to eat."
"Okay. I'll go now." Tang Dafu had just taken a shower and was still damp.
But when he heard that his wife was hungry, he immediately ran to the kitchen without any hesitation.
Li Taohua lay there, her eyes rolling around, filled with anger and sadness.
How dare he set his sights on Yinyin? How could he harm Yinyin, whom she had raised with so much effort?
The next day, Qin Huiyin was still lying in bed, and Runiang came over in person, saying that the eldest lady of the Meng Mansion had come with Master Meng to apologize.
Qin Huiyin got up from the bed, with messy hair, and looked at Ru Niang with resentment: "Mother, just receive me. Just say I'm out. It's not necessary to see me."
"Madam means that if you don't meet him, he might come back a second time. You might as well meet him once and let it go. Then he won't worry about it anymore."
Qin Huiyin nodded: "Okay, I'll pack up and go over."
After Runiang left, Qin Huiyin dressed up with the help of Zhilan and Sujin, and cheered up to meet the guests.
As soon as she walked into Li Taohua's courtyard, she heard the sound of two people talking and laughing. She stepped through the gate and saw Li Taohua chatting happily with a neatly dressed woman.
This woman was different from other officials' wives. She was not dressed in fancy clothes with lots of jewels and precious stones. Instead, she was dressed very smartly. If no one introduced her, one would have thought she was a servant of some high status in a wealthy family.
Meng Lin sat obediently beside him.
Meng Lin is very tall and strong. He is a little scary when he gets angry, and a little silly when he gets honest.
Oh, not a little bit, he is just silly.
Meng Lin has a bad brain and is often fooled by others, but he doesn't realize it.
"Greetings, Madam, Mr. Meng." Qin Huiyin bowed.
"Quickly, please excuse me." Madam Meng said enthusiastically, "Madam Tang, how do all the girls in your family look like? Why are they all so beautiful?"
"Madam, please stop praising her. I'm afraid she'll get cocky." Li Taohua said with a smile, "Speaking of a handsome man, your son is brave and strong. You can tell at a glance that he is the descendant of a general. His brows are filled with the heroic spirit of a military commander."
"Hey, how can he be as good as you say?" Mrs. Meng said, and looked at Qin Huiyin again. "Is there any marriage proposal?"
Qin Huiyin: "...In reply to Madam, I am still young, there is no rush."
Is she a popular girl? So many people are paying attention to her marriage.
Besides, didn’t you say you would come and apologize?
A strange look flashed in Li Taohua's eyes.
Asking about her daughter's marriage so bluntly, this Mrs. Meng is really simple-minded. No wonder she gave birth to such a stupid son.
However, even if the general's mansion was extremely expensive, there was no way her daughter could marry a fool.
You can make some friends, one more friend means one more way. Others will have to think twice before provoking you.
"Lin'er, hurry up and apologize to Miss Qin." Mrs. Meng urged Meng Lin.
Meng Lin stood up and said honestly, "I'm sorry, Miss Qin, I wronged you yesterday."
"I heard that the follower committed suicide by swallowing a needle." Qin Huiyin asked, "Master, have you ever asked him why he committed suicide?"
"He must have known that he had let his former master down and felt ashamed." Meng Lin touched his head, "He's dead, so what? I didn't kill him. He wanted to die on his own."
Qin Huiyin pursed her lips and said calmly, "I have seen your sincerity. You were also tricked by others, so you can't be blamed for this. Fortunately, nothing happened to you, otherwise something serious would have happened."
"Mrs. Tang and I hit it off right away, and I'd like to continue discussing with you the experience of teaching a daughter to run a household. Miss Qin, why don't you bring my son to sit in your garden for a while. You young people should have a lot to talk about, so just think of it as making another friend."
Li Taohua gestured to Qin Huiyin.
Qin Huiyin agreed and said, "Then Huiyin will take her leave."
Qin Huiyin took Meng Lin out of the courtyard and headed towards the flower garden.
Meng Lin followed behind Qin Huiyin and said to her, "Miss Qin, if you need me to do anything, just tell me. I wronged you and I should make amends."
"I told you it's not necessary, you don't have to take it to heart." Qin Huiyin said.
"Can I come and play with you? The food in the food court is so delicious. If I become your friend, we can eat there often and we don't have to wait for a table, right?"
Qin Huiyin: “…”
What an evil plot.
She turned around and looked at Meng Lin. The latter's eyes were very burning, and it could be seen that he was sincere about the food in the Food City.
