The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

The Marquis of Zhenbei had just returned from the military camp. Although he was not in the mansion, he could get all the news he wanted to know.

He naturally understood the Marquis's wife's worries, so someone secretly recorded how the Marquis treated Qin Wan during the days he was away.

The Marquis of Zhenbei knew that Qin Wan had made a fool of herself on the first day when she paid her respects, and had stayed in her yard for the rest of the time. Even when she knew that the marquis's wife had made a big fuss about taking a concubine for Dalang, she didn't say a word.

Marquis Zhenbei was already very satisfied and felt that Qin Wan was an honest person.

For the marriage between the two families, he needs such an honest daughter-in-law.

But his wife refused to agree to such a small request. No wonder Qin Wan resisted and wanted a divorce.

"Don't look down on Qin, his uncle is more favored by the emperor than me, the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Also, the two families are in an alliance marriage. If Li Guozhu knew that you treated Qin so harshly in your house, how could he speak for me?

The court has been slow to send out troops, and I need Li Guozhu to say a few good words for me in front of the King of Qi. The Ministry of War is under the control of the King of Qi.

How can he help me if you do this now? "

The Marquis of Zhenbei really broke the matter down and tried to reason with his wife. At this point, the Marquis of Zhenbei sighed.

Mrs. Hou only then understood the difficulties of the Marquis of Zhenbei. "My Lord, I was wrong. I didn't know it was so serious. I didn't mean it."

Marquis Zhenbei looked at his wife and blamed himself for having just judged her by her appearance.

When you marry a wife, you should marry someone with brains.

The Marquis of Zhenbei did not speak, and his wife was a little anxious. "My Lord, I really didn't mean to treat Qin harshly. I just wanted to ignore her. The kitchen treated her harshly in terms of food, but it was not my order. Maybe the servants in the mansion treated Qin harshly. If you hadn't told me about the food, I wouldn't have known."

The Marquis's wife felt extremely wronged. She was scalded by Qin Wan that day, but she was not punished.

How could they tamper with the food?

The Marquis of Zhenbei sighed, "In short, Madam, I still need to keep an eye on the affairs of the mansion. Those old women who pretend to obey but actually disobey should be punished. Don't be deceived by them."

The Marquis's wife was suddenly inspired and realized that the Marquis was calling her.

Yes, without anyone giving orders, the kitchen staff didn’t dare to do anything.

Thinking of Madam Xu, the Marquis's wife narrowed her eyes. After all, she was a dowry given to her by the Song family, so it was normal for her to be on the side of Rou.

However, she didn't like Aunt Xu's self-assertion. "My Lord is right. I will give them a good beating."

The Marquis of Zhenbei was satisfied and continued, "It's good that Madam understands. The emperor is in poor health, the court is in turmoil, and several princes are ready to make a move. The Hu people on the border may have received the news and are constantly testing the border. Our mansion is also in danger in Yanbei City. If we are not careful, we may be attacked from all sides. We can't let the family get in chaos at this time."

The Marquis's wife finally realized the seriousness of the problem, "My Lord, I understand. From now on, I will take care of the mansion."

Zhenbei Marquis nodded and said, "I'll trouble you with everything. As for Qin, as long as she doesn't go too far, I'll give in to her."

Madam Hou nodded, "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I won't provoke her in the future, and I will also tell Zhirou about it."

"Okay, she's your niece, you should talk to her nicely, she has a stubborn temper, anyway you should take good care of her and don't let her provoke Qin. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

When Zhenbei Hou said this, there was already a murderous tone in his words.

The Marquis's wife assured him again and again, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, Zhirou is obedient. She is just too affectionate to Dalang, that's why she is like this."

The Marquis of Zhenbei didn't believe it. "If Dalang wasn't the eldest son, if he wasn't the candidate for the crown prince, would she be so persistent?"

Madam Hou: “….”

The Marquis' wife was speechless.

But which woman is not like this? No matter who you ask, an ordinary citizen or a prince of a marquisate, I believe everyone will choose the one with greater power.

The Marquis of Zhenbei ignored his wife's stunned expression and said, "Alright, that's all I have to say. I have something else to do."

After saying that, he strode away.

After the Marquis of Zhenbei left, his wife called Nanny Xu in and scolded her a few words.

Aunt Xu also repeatedly promised that she would never make the same mistake again.

Qin Wan returned to the yard and before long, craftsmen began to arrive at Cuiyuxuan one after another.

Qin Wan stated her requirements, and these people worked quickly. By 3 p.m., the shed was built, and the furnace with a sealed box inside was also completed.

Qin Wan also asked the head craftsman, Master Liu, for his address. Qin Wan discovered that Master Liu actually had the small tools she needed.

So Qin Wan secretly reached two deals with Master Liu.

Qin Wan bought Master Liu's work tools, a pair of long pliers and a small iron bucket.

After everyone left, Mrs. Zhao and others indeed discovered that what was built was not a small kitchen, but rather a blacksmith shop.

"Okay, don't move anything here."

Qin Wan gave the order, and the four servants dared not disobey.

Because they found that the lady who seemed easy to talk to was actually very difficult to deal with when she got angry, and she was not afraid of even the marquis's wife.

Therefore, he did not dare to contradict Qin Wan openly.

After Qin Wan returned to her room, she didn't care about the servants who had ulterior motives. She had had a quarrel today and watched the craftsmen work, so she was a little tired, so she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

In the evening, Qin Wan found that today's dishes were much better, with both fish and meat.

"Caihuan, did you pick the right dish?"

Cai Huan smiled and said, "Madam, you are right. This is what the kitchen gave us."

Although Caihuan has ulterior motives, she is still a member of Cuiyuxuan.

The food that servants like them ate was the leftovers from their masters, and only then were it their turn to eat. Qin Wan's dishes did not contain any meat, so they were unlucky too.

Qin Wan didn't expect that after a quarrel, her salary would be increased.

It seems that people should not hold it in too much. If they are wronged, they should resist.

She also knew that several servants would eat these meals, so she took out a plate as she did in the past, peeled off all the food she had eaten, and said, "Take these and eat them!"

Qin Wan had no habit of letting others eat her saliva, and would not give the food she had eaten to the maids.

She would not sit at the same table to eat with the maids. After all, there is a difference between master and servant. Besides, Caihuan and the others were not her confidants.

But also respect them when eating.

Caihuan looked at the remaining half of the meal, including fish and meat, and she felt a little moved.

Actually, the eldest young lady's wife is quite nice sometimes.

"What are you standing there for? Take it down. It's already this late. Aren't you hungry?"

Cai Huan came back to her senses, "Yes, thank you, Madam Young Master."

Caihuan carried the food box, bent down and walked out.

Qin Wan didn't notice the change in Caihuan's attitude. After testing the food with a silver hairpin to see if it was poisonous, she began to eat it with relish.

To be honest, the chef in the Marquis' Mansion is really skilled, a hundred times better than the chef in the school cafeteria.
