My husband married a concubine? I turned around and married the cold prince.
Chapter 71 Huang's Purpose
Seeing Zhang coming out, Huang and Zhang Qingsha quickly stood up from their chairs, looking reserved but also a bit flattering.
"I've met eldest sister."
"I met my aunt."
Only after the two of them had finished their greetings did An Qingqian slowly stand up from her chair, but she did not do any greetings, she just stood up from her chair.
Zhang saw this and wanted to get angry, but she glanced at Huang and Zhang Qingsha and then forced herself to hold it back.
"You've worked hard all the way. I thought An would arrange for you to have a good rest first, but I didn't expect her to bring you here directly."
Zhang glanced at An Qingqian with a forced smile, and with just one sentence, she pushed all the blame onto An Qingqian.
Blame her for not taking people to rest, but coming to see her directly exhausted.
Upon hearing this, Huang turned to look at An Qingqian, with a hint of dissatisfaction on her face.
Yes, they came here from far away, but An Qingqian did not let them rest first, but brought them straight here, which was indeed a bit impolite.
An Qingqian smiled faintly, "I heard from Nanny Chen before that the old lady has been missing her niece Qingsha very much recently, so as soon as my aunt and cousin Qingsha came, she rushed here without stopping, wanting the old lady to see her family as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, she 'happened' to catch up with the old lady taking a nap."
An Qingqian fought back with great force.
Zhang glared at An Qingqian. When did she say these words? She wished that Huang and Zhang Qingsha would not come.
When Huang heard this, she blamed Zhang for all the resentment she had just felt.
Yes, I am also a member of Zhang's family. She clearly knew that I and Qingsha were coming today, but she chose to take a rest at this time. It was obvious that she didn't want to see them on purpose.
Of course, Zhang also noticed that Huang's expression was not right, after all, they were her family.
Although Zhang didn't like them, she didn't want to let them know openly that she didn't like them.
"Let me see, this is Qingsha, right? She's grown so big now?" Zhang's eyes fell on Zhang Qingsha, her eyes full of scrutiny.
Zhang Qingsha is pretty, but she dresses a little tacky.
The clothes she wore and the jewelry on her head were all things that had long been out of fashion in the capital.
Moreover, she was wearing too many gold ornaments and she was too young to suppress the shining gold, making her look a little out of place.
"Aunt, Qingsha is fourteen years old this year, and she will be a 15-year-old in two months." Zhang Qingsha was a little afraid when she saw Zhang, and she stood up stiffly to answer the question.
"So you're already fourteen years old, which is a good age." Zhang smiled faintly.
Huang didn't speak immediately, but glanced at An Qingqian, as if she had something to say to Zhang, but because An Qingqian was here, it was a bit inconvenient.
An Qingqian raised her eyebrows slightly, and then said, "Old Madam, I have asked someone to clean up the Lilac Garden. My aunt and cousin Qingsha will live there first. Lilac Garden is closest to Changshou Hall, so it will be more convenient for the old lady to talk to my aunt and cousin Qingsha."
After hearing An Qingqian's arrangement, Zhang didn't say anything else, but just nodded.
Huang was also very satisfied when she heard about this arrangement. She and her daughter had just arrived here and were unfamiliar with the place. Living closer to Zhang would make them feel more at ease.
"Old Madam, Aunt, Cousin Qingsha, I still have things to deal with in the mansion, so I'll take my leave first."
Until An Qingqian left, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's the matter with you coming here?" Zhang glanced at Huang and her tone became cold.
Although she seldom interacted with her mother's family, she knew that her sister-in-law was a person who would not do anything without a profit.
He would send them money every year, but he didn't want them to have any dealings with the Marquis' Mansion.
Zhang Zichuan and Huang had always understood what he meant. They had received the silver and were very calm. Why did they suddenly come to the Marquis' Mansion this time?
"Sister, we..." Huang was about to speak but was interrupted by Zhang.
"This is the capital, not Anzhou. You should just call me old lady." Hearing this title, Zhang felt very uncomfortable.
The word "big sister" made her feel like she was back in the time when she was in the Zhang family. At that time, the Zhang family was just running a small business, and she was the daughter of a merchant and was looked down upon by many people.
Later, she used some means to successfully marry Xue Wanxian's father, but because of her mother's family's business, many people gossiped about her. Therefore, she hated her past very much and was very secretive about her past.
Whenever she saw Huang and Zhang Qingsha, and the way they dressed, she would think of her life in the Zhang family before she got married, and the contempt and disdain she had suffered because of that.
Her current identity is the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion. She is no longer the daughter of a merchant!
Huang was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that Zhang looked down on the Zhang family's business status and also looked down on them, her family members.
However, thinking that he came here to ask for something, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and changed his words.
"Madam, we came here this time because Qingsha will soon be 15 years old, and we want you to find a suitable family for her."
"A suitable family?" Zhang was twisting a string of emerald green beads in her hand and paused when she heard that.
"That's right, old lady. Qingsha is your niece. If she can have a good place in the capital, it will be better for you, right?"
Hearing what Huang said, Zhang calmed down.
What she said made sense. If Zhang Qingsha could really marry into a powerful family, it would indeed be helpful to the Marquis' Mansion.
Moreover, although their relationship with An Qingqian has been restored to some extent at present, it is hard to say whether An Qingqian will use the power of the General's Mansion to help them in the future.
If Zhang Qingsha can help, there will be no harm in this matter.
Nanny Chen obviously thought of this as well. She glanced at Zhang and saw that she seemed to be thinking about something, then she looked at Zhang Qingsha again.
Although Zhang Qingsha was not born beautiful, she was young and pretty, which made her unique in the capital city where there were so many beautiful women.
Both Mrs. Zhang and Nanny Chen looked at Zhang Qingsha.
Huang stopped talking and let them stare at her daughter as if she were a commodity being appraised.
Zhang Qingsha felt very uncomfortable being stared at by so many people, but she suppressed the discomfort when she thought of her mother's instructions before she came.
"What do you want to do?" After a long time, Zhang withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Huang.
"Madam, I think Qingsha's coming-of-age ceremony can be held in the Marquis' Mansion. In this way, the official's wife who comes here will have a higher status for the sake of the Marquis' Mansion, and Qingsha will also have more opportunities."
Huang's words secretly praised the Lin'an Marquisate.
