They made things difficult for me all day long, and there was also Nanny Chen, who deliberately found a nanny to take care of me. She insisted that my manners were not good and forced me to learn the rules again, even how to eat and walk again.

I'm not stupid, how could I not know this? It's so annoying."

Seeing that An Qingqian cared about her, Zhang Qingsha told her everything without her even asking anything.

Upon hearing this, An Qingqian looked at Yingyi.

"Really? That's indeed too harsh. When you were in Anzhou, you must have learned these things since childhood. It's indeed inappropriate to ask you to change your habits and start over." An Qingqian nodded in agreement.

"Cousin, you also think this is not a good thing, right?" It was rare for someone to share the same idea as her, and Zhang Qingsha was very excited.

"Yes, you are still a little girl. It is really difficult for you to learn all these things in a short period of time." An Qingqian looked at Zhang Qingsha with a distressed face.

Hearing An Qingqian say this, Zhang Qingsha felt as if she had found a confidant and complained to An Qingqian.

An Qingqian did not show any impatience. Instead, she listened to her carefully and responded from time to time, which made Zhang Qingsha dizzy. In just one lunch time, she had already treated An Qingqian as her own relative.

"Okay, after talking so much, let's eat something." An Qingqian pointed to the dishes on the table.

Sure enough, Zhang Qingsha's attention was quickly attracted to the dishes on the table.

"Cousin, this dish is so rich." I was so busy talking and complaining that I didn't notice how exquisite the food on the table was.

"Well, it's just an ordinary lunch." An Qingqian picked up a handkerchief, covered her mouth and smiled gently. Her attitude was very casual, as if this lunch couldn't be simpler.

In fact, An Qingqian doesn’t eat much on a normal day, and his meals are simple.

However, Yingyi knew that An Qingqian was worried last night and did not get enough rest, so she specifically asked the kitchen staff to prepare a more sumptuous lunch for An Qingqian in the morning. However, she did not expect that Zhang Qingsha would run into her.

However, Zhang Qingsha was extremely envious. An ordinary lunch could be so complicated. What if it was more exquisite?

If, if I become the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, can I also eat such meals every day, or even better.

Looking at the food on the table, most of which she had never seen before, Zhang Qingsha's eyes lit up.

An Qingqian naturally noticed the endless greed in Zhang Qingsha's eyes.

"Try it quickly. This dish was served not long ago and I haven't started eating yet, but you came here. You came just in time." An Qingqian entertained Zhang Qingsha warmly.

"Thank you, cousin." Zhang Qingsha was not polite at all. She picked up the chopsticks and started tasting.

At the beginning, Zhang Qingsha still took the rules into consideration, but as time went on, she found that the dishes were so delicious that she even forgot the rules of eating.

An Qingqian and Yingyi did not remind her and just watched Zhang Qingsha eat as much as she wanted.

"By the way, cousin Qingsha, I have been very busy these days, and I don't know if your cousin has visited you?" An Qingqian smiled gently and asked with concern.

Sure enough, when she heard the name Xue Wanxian, Zhang Qingsha paused while eating and a look of resentment appeared on her face.

"No, I haven't seen cousin Xian since the welcoming banquet." Zhang Qingsha shook her head dejectedly.

Originally, she thought that she was Xue Wanxian's cousin after all. Now she was learning the rules here, and Xue Wanxian, as her cousin, should go over and care about her.

But who would have known that Xue Wanxian never went there once.

In the first two days, she got up early every day and dressed up carefully, wanting to see Xue Wanxian again. But who knew that she couldn't even hear any news from him.

It was not until last night that she sneaked out of Lilac Garden and spent one or two taels of silver to find out some information about Xue Wanxian.

Xue Wanxian seldom left Mingde Courtyard. What he did most every day was to accompany Liu Yiyi for walks and meals. At most, he would read a book by himself, with Liu Yiyi still by his side.

When Zhang Qingsha found out, she couldn't help but feel angry and secretly cursed Liu Yiyi for being a vixen.

So, after learning pipa with Master Qin this morning, I ran to Xiheyuan, wanting to find An Qingqian and maneuver between them so that Liu Yiyi would stop pestering Xue Wanxian.

Zhang Qingsha believed in her heart that the reason Xue Wanxian didn't go to see her was because Liu Yiyi held him back.

If Liu Yiyi stopped pestering him, Xue Wanxian would definitely come to find him.

"Really?" An Qingqian pretended to be shocked when she heard this, and then she looked indignant, "There is indeed something wrong with your cousin Xian. After all, you are his cousin. How could he not come to see you after being in the mansion for so long?"

Listening to An Qingqian's words, Zhang Qingsha felt inexplicably aggrieved, but she also determined that the fault in this matter was not Xue Wanxian's, but Liu Yiyi's.

"Cousin, it's not like that. I heard that cousin Xian didn't mean to not come, he was just held back by something." Zhang Qingsha explained for Xue Wanxian.

"Stumped? How could that happen? Your cousin Xian has been recuperating recently and doesn't have any official business to deal with?" An Qingqian pretended to be confused.

"Cousin, I have a question to ask you." Zhang Qingsha hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but speak.

"What's the problem? Just tell me directly. Why should we be so formal with each other?" An Qingqian smiled gently, as if she treated Zhang Qingsha as her own sister.

An Qingqian's friendly attitude made Zhang Qingsha feel that she was the only one who understood her.

"Cousin." Zhang Qingsha put down the chopsticks in her hand, with a hint of hesitation in her tone.

"What is the identity of the pregnant woman following Cousin Xian? Is she Cousin Xian's concubine?"

An Qingqian paused when she heard this, her face showing a bit of bitterness, "Cousin Qingsha, you are not an outsider either, so I will tell you the truth. That woman is Liu Yiyi, and she is the beloved of your cousin Xian."

"The love of my life?" Zhang Qingsha quickly grasped the word that she cared about most, and her face looked a little unhappy.

"Yes, Liu Yiyi has been taking care of him during the past few years he has been at the border, and the two of them have a very deep relationship. Now that she has a child, your cousin Xian naturally loves her even more."

"But, cousin, you are the wife that cousin Xian married with an official marriage." An Qingqian's words touched the pain point in Zhang Qingsha's heart, so she wanted to use An Qingqian's hand to get rid of Liu Yiyi.

After all, she had just arrived here and had no staff of her own in the mansion, so she was restricted in what she could do. If An Qingqian could take the initiative to get rid of Liu Yiyi, she would have a greater chance of winning the favor of her cousin Xian.
