Chapter 16 Promise



Time soon arrived and it was the day before the agreed date to go to the martial arts gym.

After a long period of cold and violent treatment from Chen Wei, Xie Yuchuan finally gave in step by step. In order to seek Chen Wei's forgiveness, he even gave in and agreed to let Chen Wei go to the martial arts gym to practice regardless of the face of the Marquis' Mansion.

In addition, Chen Wei was given one thousand taels of silver as compensation.

When this news reached Qin Shuyu and Aunt Zhao, their expressions changed to varying degrees.

"Such a good opportunity, then...Miss Shen really didn't ask the Marquis to divorce her and marry her as his legal wife. She just asked to go to the martial arts hall to strengthen her body?"

"But...why?"

"She's just a woman, why would she go to a martial arts gym?"

"How can a husband like a vulgar and violent woman? Is she crazy?" Aunt Zhao asked suddenly.

The maid curled her lips sarcastically, not understanding Chen Wei's behavior at all.

This was an unexpected result.

It can be said that all the servants in the mansion were shocked.

The servants who were talking about Chen Wei being too demanding and using this incident to demand the title of wife or concubine were all silent.

Qin Shuyu, who had talked to Chen Wei last time, has been feeling lost and absent-minded from time to time since returning to the hospital.

She didn't know whether she should believe what Chen Wei said. Whenever she thought of the wrong things Chen Wei had done in the past, she would prejudicely think that Chen Wei was making up stories and deceiving herself.

until,

Now.

Only then did she suddenly realize and believe that Chen Wei really didn't care about his status anymore.

It turned out that Chen Wei really disdained Xie Yuchuan's favor.

"Is that family so good... so good that she would go back regardless of reputation and cost?" Qin Shuyu said with emotion, holding the account book of the Marquis' Mansion in her hand.

Aunt Zhao, who was sitting opposite, opened her mouth.

He hesitated for a while before answering, "Madam."

"Do you really believe what Shen Wei said that day?"

"Is there really a place in this world where women can live freely, see the mountains and the sea, and even pursue business or study, where they can spend their lives with the one they love?"

Is there?

It's really unimaginable.

Qin Shuyu lowered his eyes and shook his head: "I don't know, I hope so."

"She was able to endure everyone's pointing fingers and looking at her differently, and resolutely pursued business and martial arts, even going so far as to exchange her unborn child for Xie Yuchuan. Ultimately, it was worth it, right?"

But is it really worth it?

Qin Shuyu didn't know and couldn't understand.

Because it touched upon her blind spot.

She didn't understand what kind of home could make Chen Wei give up her current rich and comfortable life where she had everything provided for her, was loved and cared for by her husband, and had children to rely on.

I have to go to the mortal world and take a chance.

"Madam, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion has given you a visiting card." Su Zhu hurried over with a card.

The eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion?

She is the rich lady that Lin’s fiancé is with.

Qin Shuyu was worried that the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion would have her reputation ruined, so she asked her maid to deliver the note to the Prime Minister's Mansion, hoping that the young lady would recognize the man's true face and not be deceived.

But I didn’t expect that the other party would come to visit me?

"Welcome her in quickly." Qin Shuyu ordered immediately, and then signaled Aunt Zhao to leave the main courtyard with his eyes.

The legitimate daughter of the prime minister is not someone a concubine is qualified to meet.

If a concubine was arranged to be present without the knowledge of the young lady of the prime minister's mansion, even if the other party did not turn hostile on the spot, he would still have a lot of opinions about Qin Shuyu in his heart.

After a while.

The young lady of the prime minister's mansion appeared in a light blue rippled brocade dress, looking radiant and with her hair full of pearls and jade.

Led by her maid Suzhu, Miss Lu walked gracefully into the main courtyard.

"Miss Lu." Qin Shuyu smiled appropriately, handling the situation in an orderly manner. "I wonder if you came to the Marquis' Mansion specifically to look for me? What's the matter?"

Faced with Qin Shuyu's politeness and goodwill.

Miss Lu did not return the courtesy in kind. She stood in the middle of the courtyard, gazing at Qin Shuyu with an unfriendly gaze, and then laughed, "Did you ask someone to give me that piece of paper?"

Qin Shuyu had already guessed that the other party came because of this matter, so he nodded in agreement.

But I never expected——

Next second.

Qin Shuyu was met with a barrage of accusations.

"Oh! It really is you."

"What on earth are you thinking?"

When Miss Lu heard the answer she wanted, her face immediately turned cold. "That young man is a talented and elegant gentleman, kind and polite. He saved me once when the carriage was startled."

"After that, he never contacted me again. Every move he made was very measured and never crossed the line."

"Such a good man was actually slandered by you as the villain described in the letter."

Speaking of this.

Miss Lu took out the piece of letter paper with words written on it from her waist.

Because she was so angry and felt so sorry for the young man, she tore it to pieces in front of Qin Shuyu.

Then, he slammed his hand on the stone table and said to Qin Shuyu rudely, "I have personally asked the young master about the whole story, and he clearly did not do such a thing."

"It's clear that Lin Yun'er is shameless and seduces a man outside her family."

"I think she went to the temple to burn for another purpose. Otherwise, why would she let a stranger see her naked body? Why would she commit suicide by hitting her head against the wall? It's simply because her inner thoughts were touched and she was ashamed!"

"Madam Hou."

"The nobles in the capital all say that you are the most virtuous womanizer. You have such a shameless cousin, and you even go behind my back to instigate me to misunderstand that kind-hearted young man. I don't think you're any better!"

Qin Shuyu had never heard such ugly insults.

Her fingertips felt cold, and she wanted to find some words to refute, to tell Miss Lu that she was not lying and that the words of that young man could not be taken seriously.

She told Miss Lu the truth with good intentions, but in the end someone rushed to her door, pointed at her nose and called her a bad person!

And her cousin Lin Yuner......

He clearly did nothing wrong, yet he lost his life.

He was also labeled as shameless by the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital!

"He hasn't done anything to destroy his fiancée's innocence? He says so, and you believe it?"

What sound?

Qin Shuyu raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice.

I immediately smelled a milky aroma and bumped into Chen Wei standing in the sunlight.

Chen Wei was wearing a plain dress, her black hair casually tied up with a hairpin, doing whatever she felt comfortable with.

Anyway, she had acted 'loosely' before.

Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion knew that she did not follow the rules, and she would not force herself to wear ten kilograms of hairpins and jewelry just to be called polite and well-behaved.

Chen Wei was holding a freshly baked cake in her hand. This was the result of her recent research and experiments at home day and night. After countless failures and wrong tastes, she finally completed the product.

"Who are you?" Miss Lu frowned and looked at Chen Wei's clothes and jewelry.
