Ginkgo is the most silent of the four dowry maids, and the one who understands Qu the best.
Although Qu didn't say it explicitly, she already knew the reason.
She also saw the letter from home.
She couldn't help but feel sorry for her master.
The master had been treated as the most precious treasure by his family since he was young, but he was betrayed and heartbroken by the person he loved the most.
If the master and mistress knew about this, I wonder how sad they would be.
"Girl...what are your plans from now on?"
Qu spat out two words coldly: "Divorce!"
Ginkgo's eyes widened in surprise.
"Divorce? But how could Captain Wen agree to that? Since he is such a person, I think he married you for other purposes. How could he let such a big piece of meat fly away?"
"I'll make him divorce."
Ginkgo calmed down and said, "Miss, I am not smart enough to give you any advice. But as long as you ask me to do something, I will definitely do it!"
Before he knew it, Ginkgo started calling Qu "girl" again.
Qu felt a little dazed when she heard this name.
She took Ginkgo's hand with relief.
"I know that you are all loyal, so I told you to go to Wen Hongshen's room. Calculating the time, he should be here by now."
"Come here? Does he really have the guts to come here?"
Before he finished speaking, Yin Xing's voice came from outside the door.
"Madam, my cousin is here. He said he is here to visit you and the fourth young lady."
Ginkgo looked at Qu in surprise.
"He's so nice to come here."
"He feels guilty, so naturally he has to come and investigate the situation before he can sleep peacefully."
Qu said, raising her voice: "Let him in!"
Soon, Wen Hongshen came in.
"Greetings to my cousin's mother."
The resounding voice successfully attracted Wen Qianqian's attention.
She nestled in Qu's arms and turned her head to look.
The man at the door was wearing a navy blue brocade and had sharp eyebrows and eyes. If you look closely, he looks about 50% like Han.
Especially the gloomy eyebrows and eyes, which are almost exactly the same as Han's.
This is Wen Hongshen.
[Mother, he is the eldest son of the scumbag father and Han! ]
Qu's heart choked.
Although she had known this was the case, she still felt a tightness in her chest when she heard the truth again.
Qu tried hard to put on her usual smile.
"Shen'er is here, please give him a seat."
Ginkgo quickly moved the chair.
Wen Hongshen's expression remained unchanged and he sat down confidently.
"Aunt, I was not able to visit you and your sister as soon as I learned that you were back. It was my fault."
"You are busy with your studies, so I saved it. It's okay. Have you had dinner?"
“It has already been used.”
As Wen Hongshen spoke, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally looked at Wen Qianqian in Qu's arms.
Her snow-white skin and delicate facial features are so beautiful that they are lovable.
But when faced with such a beautiful baby, his heart was filled with disgust.
According to what was written in the letter, his sister should have been lying in Qu's arms, enjoying a life of luxury.
But the substitution plan failed, and the girl returned to Qu.
It was obvious that his sister was the destined benefactor, but this little girl had taken away everything that should have belonged to his sister.
Wen Hongshen hid his hatred very well and said with a smile: "This is Qianqian, right? She's so cute!"
Wen Qianqian rolled her eyes, said "Pooh", and spat at Wen Hongshen who was trying to hug her.
Wen Hongshen was spitted all over his face, and a look of dissatisfaction instantly appeared on his face.
"you--"
"She's just a child. Shen'er won't bother with a child, right?"
Qu hugged Wen Qianqian tightly, with an attitude that said, "If you dare to say anything about her, I will make you pay for it."
Wen Hongshen tried hard to suppress the unhappiness in his heart and forced a smile.
"No, why would I bother with the child? It's just that this habit of spitting, my cousin mother-in-law had better discipline him, so that he won't accidentally bump into the nobles in the future."
Mrs. Qu chuckled, "You don't have to worry about it. Qianqian is a noble person herself. Even if the descendants of my Qu family offend someone, that person will be lucky. And Qianqian is just young. When she grows up, she will know her limits."
Wen Hongshen twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly.
He didn't want to stay here any longer.
But thinking of the purpose of this trip, he forced himself to continue sitting down.
"Aunt, I heard... you asked the maid to help me tidy up the study today?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"I should thank you for your consideration of my hard work in studying and for helping me clean up the study. But... after dinner, I found that a small wolf-hair brush was missing from the study. The brush was not expensive, but it was given to me by the Grand Secretary of Wen Ge Hall, and it has a special meaning."
Qu frowned: "You mean, my maid stole your pen?"
Wen Hongshen immediately stood up and bowed.
"Hong Shen didn't mean that. After all, I have no evidence... It's just that only your maid entered my study today."
Ginkgo knelt down quickly.
"Madam, I just tidied up the study for my cousin, and I didn't bring any pens!"
Before Qu spoke, Wen Hongshen spoke first: "We'll know if you took it or not once we search. Madam, I suggest you send someone to search her room immediately. If she can steal my pen today, she can steal your things tomorrow. As the saying goes, you can't guard against thieves in your own home. I think you definitely don't want to have people around you who have dirty hands and feet."
Qu felt cold in her heart.
Wen Hongshen wanted to use the same trick again and asked her to send Ginkgo away as well.
The two maids she gave to Wen Hongshen were driven out of the house in this way.
In the past, she was blind and trusted Wen Hongshen too much, so she didn't ask about the details and let the old lady handle the matter.
Now that I think about it, the two girls were willing to admit that it was indeed they who seduced Wen Hongshen. They must have been tortured into confessing.
She suddenly hated her former self.
If it weren't for Qianqian, she might have been killed by the Wen family while still counting money for them.
But it’s different now. This time, she will never let Wen Hongshen get his wish.
"Hongshen."
Qu took a sip of tea slowly before continuing, "Yingxing is a girl who grew up with me. Not to mention the wolf-hair brush given by the Grand Secretary, she has also received several items personally gifted by the Empress. Do you think she would be interested in a brush?"
Wen Hongshen was stunned.
What happened to Qu today? Did she notice something?
Otherwise, according to the past, she would definitely agree to search Ginkgo's room.
No, that's not right. It's impossible for Qu to notice anything. Otherwise, given her character of loving Wen Zehai more than herself, she would have been crying like a tearful person by now.
He calmed himself down and pretended to be sad, "Aunt, don't you trust me?"
Qu said with a half smile: "It's not that I don't trust you, I just trust Gingko more. Isn't it the pen awarded by the Grand Secretary? Maybe you lost it by accident. Don't worry, I will ask the Grand Secretary to give you a basket of pens some other day."
The Grand Secretary was once a student of her father, and a basket of pens was nothing rare.
Wen Hongshen's expression became visibly ugly.
