Red Mansion: After being expelled from the family, I was granted the title of Marquis of Mobei

Chapter 100 Divine Assist

After the two sisters finished their discussion, they immediately ordered the maid to bring Qin Keqing and her brother in.

Not long after, Qin Keqing and her brother walked into the back hall of the marquis' mansion with trepidation.

There was no way. Although Qin Keqing had some opinions, the Qin family was just an insignificant official family, which was a world of difference from the Guanjun Marquis's family.

Even Qin Ye was trembling with fear when he first came to the Marquis' Mansion, fearing that he might be disrespectful, let alone Qin Keqing and her brother.

After the two of them walked into the back hall, Zhang Guifen and Sheng Minglan were sitting there waiting.

Upon seeing this, Qin Keqing and her brother hurried forward, bowed respectfully, and said.

"My humble self, Qin Keqing, and my younger brother, Qin Zhong, have come to meet the two marquis ladies."

After Zhang Guifen took a look at Qin Keqing, she couldn't help but look a little surprised.

She had never imagined that a small family like the Qin family could actually raise a woman as beautiful and elegant as Qin Keqing.

It has to be said that the appearance association has existed since ancient times, and being beautiful can indeed make a living.

At the first sight of Qin Keqing, Zhang Guifen and Sheng Minglan had a very good impression of her.

Then Zhang Guifen smiled and said.

"Alright, no need to be so polite, please take a seat."

"Come on, serve tea."

After seeing that Zhang Guifen and Sheng Minglan were very gentle, Qin Keqing and Qin Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the two did not relax because of this and still maintained a respectful attitude.

After the maid brought tea and snacks, Zhang Guifen looked at the siblings and spoke calmly.

"Since the construction of our Marquis's ancestral hall was completed, Lord Qin has never come to the Marquis's mansion again."

"The Marquis had mentioned before that Sir Qin did a great job, and that whenever there was any construction work in the mansion, he would ask Sir Qin to do it."

Qin Keqing sighed and said after hearing this.

"Madam, I'm afraid, I'm afraid my father can no longer serve the Marquis' Mansion."

Zhang Guifen asked with concern.

"Why, what happened to your father?"

Qin Keqing didn't say anything more and immediately told Zhang Guifen everything about Qin Ye being framed, and then she knelt on the ground and said.

"Madam, I know it's wrong for me to come here so presumptuously, but we are really desperate and have no choice but to come to the Marquis' Mansion for help."

"This is most likely the work of the Ningguo Mansion. Otherwise, my father has always been cautious and kind to others. He holds a low position, so who would dare to cross him?"

"I beg Madam to lend a hand. I have no means of repaying you. I am willing to serve as a slave in the Marquis's mansion in the future to repay your great kindness."

As soon as Zhang Guifen heard that the matter was related to Ningguo Mansion, she looked at Sheng Minglan and they quickly reached an agreement.

The two sisters knew very well that their husbands had a feud with the Ning and Rong families, so they dealt a heavy blow to the Ning and Rong families, but they did not let their husbands vent their anger.

Another thing is that the Marquis' Mansion has a personal feud with the Ning and Rong Mansions. If there is an opportunity, they must completely defeat the Ning and Rong Mansions and eradicate them completely, so as to avoid any worries.

And the matter of Qin Keqing was like an opportunity that came right to her doorstep.

If it is true, then it would be a perfect opportunity for the Marquis' Mansion to severely damage the Ningguo Mansion.

Sheng Minglan then looked at Qin Keqing and said.

"Miss Qin, my sister and I already understand the whole situation."

"But you also know that it is not convenient for us women to deal with such official affairs."

"How about this, you two siblings don't have to go home for the time being, and live in the other courtyard in the east city of the Marquis' Mansion first."

"If what you said is true, I don't think the Ningguo Mansion will let it go."

"You can live in the Marquis's Mansion's annex, which will ensure your safety."

"As for your father's matter, I will make a decision after reporting to the Marquis, how about that?"

Hearing this, Qin Keqing understood that although the Marquis' Mansion had not promised anything, they had undoubtedly made some arrangements for her and her brother to stay there.

Qin Keqing hurriedly pulled Qin Zhong and bowed before saying.

"Thank you, Madam, for your careful arrangements. We siblings are deeply grateful and will certainly obey your orders."

Zhang Guifen nodded slightly and said.

"Okay, Meixiang, take Miss Qin and the others to inform Madam Ru, and ask her to settle down. Then invite Madam Ru to come over and tell her that we have something to discuss."

"I obey your command, Miss Qin, Master Qin, please follow me."

After Meixiang took Qin Keqing and Qin Zhong away, Zhang Guifen and Sheng Minglan began to discuss.

Sheng Minglan smiled and said.

"Sister, my husband just returned to the capital, but I didn't expect this to happen. Judging from my husband's temper, he will definitely intervene in the Qin family's affairs this time and severely step on the face of the Ningguo Mansion."

Zhang Guifen nodded slightly and said.

"I think so too. Others may seek revenge even after ten years, but our husband's revenge is from morning till night."

"If it weren't for my husband's complicated duties, it would be extremely difficult for the Ning and Rong families to live in peace."

"My husband has to find a way to clean up the Ning and Rong mansions even though he is not right. What's more, he is in the right now."

"It's just that this matter is too small. The Ningguo Mansion is also so shallow. After all, it is still a dignified Duke's Mansion. Even if it has fallen on hard times, they actually framed a sixth-rank official. If they tell others about it, they are not afraid of being laughed at."

Sheng Minglan said with some emotion.

"Yes, the Ningguo Mansion is not made of clay. It's difficult to completely destroy them with just this one thing."

"My husband has rectified military discipline and killed the legitimate sons of the Ning and Rong families. Jia Rong is the only son of the Ningguo family. The hatred is so deep. If we don't destroy them, if there is any disturbance in the Marquis' Mansion in the future, I think they will pounce on you like hungry wolves and want to take your life."

"How can we find a way to make this bigger?"

Just as the two were discussing, Wang Xifeng asked Jinlian to come into the hall and bow to them.

"Hello, two sisters."

Zhang Guifen smiled and said after hearing this.

"Okay, we're sisters, why are we being so polite? Come and sit down. We're waiting for you. Let's come and discuss this."

Then Zhang Guifen and Sheng Minglan thought about what had just happened and their considerations.

Then Sheng Minglan looked at Wang Xifeng and said.

"Xifeng, tell me, how can we capitalize on this situation and severely damage the Ningguo Mansion so that we don't have to worry about this anymore?"

Wang Xifeng pondered for a while and said with some hesitation.

"Sister, I do have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."

Zhang Guifen said immediately.

"Okay, since you're hesitating like that, we're all family, so just say whatever you want to say."

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng nodded and said.

"Then I'll say it."

"Actually, this matter isn't a big deal. Framing a sixth-rank official, even if it becomes a big deal, the normal handling would be nothing more than a reprimand to the Ningguo Mansion and a salary fine. While it might make the Ningguo Mansion lose face, it wouldn't damage its vitality."

"If my husband wants to rely on his power to deliberately force us, then the founding fathers are not pushovers. The Rongguo Mansion and the Beijing Prince's Mansion are very close, and they will definitely persuade the Beijing Prince's Mansion to interfere."

"After all, no matter what, my husband doesn't have much in common with the Qin family. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that my husband is just trying to take advantage of this situation. I'm sure there will be a lot of resistance when the time comes."

"But if my husband's relationship with the Qin family can deepen, making others feel that the Ningguo Mansion's behavior has severely challenged my husband's bottom line and the majesty of the Marquis' Mansion, my husband must take strong measures to deal with the Ningguo Mansion." Sheng Minglan said thoughtfully.

"You are not planning to take advantage of Miss Qin, are you?"

Wang Xifeng did not hide it either.

"Yes, sister, that's what I thought."

Zhang Guifen said with a little surprise.

"Xifeng, you mean to have the Marquis take Miss Qin as a concubine, so that the two families can become in-laws."

"In this case, Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion is so audacious that he actually dared to set his sights on the Marquis' concubine. Naturally, the Marquis will take strong action against Ningguo Mansion."

"The other founding fathers saw Jia Zhen was a hopeless case, offended the Marquis for a woman, and then saw that the Marquis was irreconcilable with the Ningguo Mansion. Perhaps they would treat the Ningguo Mansion as a discarded child. Is that correct?"

Wang Xifeng nodded and said.

"Yes, sister, that's what I thought."

Zhang Guifen said with some hesitation.

"Whether this method is feasible or not is not the point for now, but by doing this, doesn't it seem like taking advantage of someone's misfortune?"

"Isn't this the same as forcing Miss Qin to commit herself to the Marquis's mansion in order to save her father?"

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng smiled and said.

"Sister, you're worrying too much."

"If the Marquis' Mansion hadn't intervened, Miss Qin would have had no choice but to agree to the Ningguo Mansion's request and serve a scoundrel like Jia Zhen if she wanted to rescue her father."

"My husband is a rare talent, far superior to Jia Zhen."

"To be honest, if it weren't for this excuse to attack the Ningguo Mansion, Miss Qin's desire to become my husband's concubine would be truly beyond her reach. Do you two sisters agree?"

Sheng Minglan said after a moment of thought.

"That's the truth, but it can't hide this fact."

"Well, I think we should wait for my husband to come back and discuss it with him."

"Also, Xifeng, you should go talk to Miss Qin."

"If she is willing to come to the Marquis' Mansion, then this plan will naturally work."

"If she doesn't want to, that's fine. Anyway, with this excuse, my husband will definitely clean up the Ningguo Mansion. It's just a matter of how much force he uses."

"Adding someone to the palace is a big deal. If we're forced into it, we'll inevitably be put in a bad position. It'll cause unrest in the palace in the future, which wouldn't be good."

Zhang Guifen echoed after hearing this.

"Yes, Minglan is right. Xifeng, I think we should do this."

Wang Xifeng nodded slightly and said.

"Since you two sisters have made up your minds, I will go talk to Miss Qin first. Once I have a result, I will come back and report back to you two sisters."

After Zhang Guifen and Sheng Minglan nodded, Wang Xifeng left the hall.

After a while, Jia Jue left the palace and returned to his house.

After returning to the mansion, Zhang Guifen and Sheng Minglan came out to greet him.

After the couple reunited, they felt like they were newlyweds.

After the two of them escorted Jia Jue back to the rear house, they began to have a heart-to-heart talk in the side hall.

Jia Jue looked at the two ladies and said with a smile.

"Fen'er, Minglan, I've been gone for over a month. I hope everything is okay in the mansion."

Zhang Guifen smiled and said.

"Don't worry, my husband. Minglan and Xifeng are taking good care of the house. I will just focus on taking care of the baby. Don't ask me anything. Look how much weight I have gained."

Jia Jue held Zhang Guifen's hand and spoke gently.

"Now that we're eating for two, we should definitely eat more. Thank you. It's no problem."

"By the way, I brought back quite a few local specialties this time, Minglan. Pick out two and send one each to the Ying Mansion and the Sheng Family."

Sheng Minglan nodded slightly and said.

"Okay, I'll do it later."

"By the way, husband, there is something my sister and I wanted to discuss with you."

Jia Jue smiled and said.

"What's going on?"

Sheng Minglan then told Jia Jue about Qin Keqing's visit for help and the idea that Wang Xifeng had come up with.

After listening to it, Jia Jue also looked calm and composed, without any surprise at all.

As early as the day before arriving in Beijing, Jia Jue had received news from Zhang Han and learned that Ningguo Mansion had framed Qin Ye and put him in prison.

All the actions of Ningguo Mansion were under the control of Zhang Han's secret guards.

Originally, the reason why Jia Jue sat back and watched things develop was because he was trying to catch rabbits while robbing straw.

On the one hand, he naturally wanted to make a big fuss about the Ningguo Mansion's frame-up. On the other hand, Jia Jue naturally had ideas about Qin Keqing, one of the Twelve Golden Hairpins.

After all, as a man, who doesn't have the desire to collect cards? It is common to buy dozens of packs of instant noodles just to collect cards.

Now that they have arrived at the Red Mansion, Jia Jue naturally wants to experience the feeling of collecting all twelve golden hairpins.

Regarding Wang Xifeng's great assist, Jia Jue could only say that it was a well done job.

It has to be said that compared to Sheng Minglan and Zhang Guifen, Wang Xifeng's bottom line is lower.

Wang Xifeng is like a caring secretary, always considering the leader's needs. As for the means, they are not important.

If Wang Xifeng had not put forward this point of view, then Jia Jue's own proposal would inevitably be somewhat inferior.

But since Wang Xifeng brought it up, Jia Jue could go along with it.

After thinking it over, Jia Jue looked at Sheng Minglan and Zhang Guifen and said.

"Minglan, Fen'er, you and Feng'er are very thoughtful."

"But the most urgent task is not these. We still need to investigate the matter thoroughly first and find out whether the Ningguo Mansion is behind Qin Ye's incident."

"I will arrange for someone to investigate. As for Miss Qin, let's just let nature take its course."

Seeing that Jia Jue had made his decision, Sheng Minglan and Zhang Guifen naturally nodded and said.

"Okay, we'll listen to our husband."

After talking about the Qin family, Jia Jue also chatted with his wife.

The couple and their three friends had a very good relationship. After being separated for over a month, they were very excited to talk about anything, and before they knew it, it was evening.

After dinner, Jia Jue, at Sheng Minglan's urging, accompanied Zhang Guifen back to the bedroom.

Sheng Minglan also knew that although Zhang Guifen was pregnant and could not have sex, she definitely wanted to talk to Jia Jue alone, so she didn't need to rush.

Zhang Guifen was very happy about Sheng Minglan's understanding, and the friendship between the sisters naturally reached a new level.

After returning to the bedroom, Jia Jue and Zhang Guifen were affectionate for a while, and then Zhang Guifen snuggled quietly in Jia Jue's arms, her eyes full of tenderness.
