The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.
Chapter 8: Morning Light Calls
Song Zhirou didn't expect to hear the news that her cousin and Qin Wan were kissing on the path.
Although they are already husband and wife, how can they have such intimate actions?
Didn’t my cousin promise her?
Mother Song saw that Song Zhirou was furious and glared at the little maid, "Chunshan, did you see it with your own eyes?"
Chunshan did not hesitate and told the truth. Her cousin looked weak, but if she hid something from her and was discovered, she would be punished more severely.
"Mother Song, the eldest son and his wife were on the road. After they stopped, they got very close to each other, face to face for a long time. Although the light was dim, they should...should..."
Chunshan was, after all, an unmarried maid, and she blushed when talking about matters between husband and wife.
Seeing the little maid hesitating, Song Zhirou waved her hand and said, "Okay, no need to say more."
Mother Song glared at Chunshan and said, "Alright, you go down first!"
"Yes, Mother Song!"
Chunshan slowly backed out.
Only Song Zhirou and Song's mother were left in the room. Song's mother was a member of the Song family, and she was even more considerate of Song Zhirou. "Miss, in my opinion, maybe Chunshan was wrong."
Song Zhirou rubbed her temples, "What do you mean?"
Mother Song advised, "Miss, I have watched the eldest young master grow up. He is a cold person. It is difficult for outsiders to get into his heart. He and Qin have just got married, so he will definitely not be easily moved."
After hearing what Mother Song said, Song Zhirou regained her senses and said, "Yes, my cousin is also very difficult to appease."
Song Zhirou still remembered the first time she met Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen didn't take her seriously. It took her many years before her cousin cared about her. So how could Qin win her cousin's heart as soon as she arrived?
"Mother Song, did Chunshan say that my cousin didn't stay in the wedding room?"
Mother Song smiled and said, "Yes, Miss, the eldest master asked Qin to go back to the new house by herself."
Song Zhirou was satisfied and smiled, "Qin Wan, humph! Don't try to compete with me, Mother Song. Go to your aunt's yard tomorrow and tell her that I am willing to be your cousin's concubine."
Mother Song had known for a long time that the Marquis would not agree to her young lady becoming the eldest son's wife, and she had also advised her young lady against it.
But the young lady felt that she had a deep relationship with the eldest son and had always wanted to be the legal wife.
Now that she has finally agreed, Mother Song is still very happy. After all, the young lady is already 16 years old, not young anymore. If she delays any further, she will be too old.
"Okay, okay, I'll go there tomorrow."
The next day, Qin Wan was sleeping soundly when she heard someone knocking on the door.
She buried her head under the quilt, but could still hear the noise. She muttered, "Who is so unethical? Could it be that the dormitory manager is checking the rooms?"
It was so noisy that Qin Wan had no choice but to crawl out from under the quilt.
When I saw the quaint room, I realized that I had traveled through time and was no longer in school.
Qin Wan looked around and put on the red clothes she had worn yesterday. She had just arrived and had no maid to serve her, so she didn't know where her clothes were.
"It seems that I have to look at the original owner's dowry today and find some clothes to wear."
Qin Wan opened the door, looked at the sky outside, and frowned, "There are still stars here!"
There was a continuous banging sound on the door, "Bang, bang, bang!"
"Coming!" Qin Wan replied in time.
After pushing open the door, I saw a familiar old woman. I had seen this person in the main courtyard yesterday, but I didn't know what she did.
"What's your business?"
Qin Wan peeked through the crack in the door and looked at the old woman outside.
Mrs. Cai bowed her head and said, "Greetings to the eldest young lady. I will pass on the order of the marquis' wife, asking the eldest young lady to go and pay her respects."
Qin Wan pointed at the few stars that had not disappeared and asked, "Are you sure you want to pay your respects at this time?"
Mrs. Cai remained motionless, "Please come in, Madam Young Master. We cannot keep you waiting for too long."
Qin Wan knew that the old woman had bad intentions, but she had to bow her head under someone's roof. It was just a greeting, so she could accept it.
"Then wait a moment, I'll change my clothes and come over."
Mrs. Cai saw Qin Wan with disheveled hair and nodded, "Madam, hurry up."
Qin Wan had no intention of inviting anyone in, and she simply slammed the door shut.
Qin Wan returned to the yard and went to the next room. Placed here were all the things she brought with her. In fact, when a wealthy family marries off their daughter and has a lot of dowry, they would have a separate yard just to store the dowry.
But the original owner was not the biological daughter of the Li family after all, and her aunt Liu was not kind to her, so she had very little dowry.
Qin Wan opened the box and found a lot of half-new clothes that were obviously worn for some time.
After further searching, she found a few taels of silver hidden by the original owner. Qin Wan counted them and found that there were only about three taels.
"Alas, the original owner was also poor!"
After Qin Wan changed her clothes, she braided her hair into a thick braid. The main reason was that a high ponytail would easily fall apart, and her hair would become disheveled again, which was not as strong as a braid.
When Qin Wan left this time, she took all her belongings with her.
Of course, the most money she had was the red envelope she received when she paid her respects yesterday. Yesterday, the Marquis gave her 100 taels of silver notes, and the Marquis's wife received 105 taels. The red envelope Zhao Zhen received was 100 taels from the Marquis and 200 taels from the Marquis's wife.
Now it's all in Qin Wan's hands, so her small treasury has 508 taels.
Qin Wan knew that this was all the money she had and she had to keep it well.
"Madam, are you okay?"
Mrs. Cai waited for a long time and started calling for help again.
"coming!"
After Qin Wan closed the door, she walked out of the yard.
When Mrs. Cai saw Qin Wan's outfit, she was very dissatisfied. She felt that even the maids in the marquis's mansion knew more about rules than the eldest young master's wife.
But she had no relationship with the eldest young master's wife, and she didn't want to waste her breath, "Let's go!"
Qin Wan nodded, "Okay!"
Qin Wan has a good sense of direction. She got lost last night because it was her first time here. It was full of twists and turns and it was dark, so it was hard to remember the way.
Although it was still early today, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and Qin Wan still memorized the general situation of the mansion.
Last night, Qin Wan felt that her yard was remote, and now she realized that she had indeed been sent to a remote little yard.
Along the way, she saw many magnificent courtyards, which obviously had a high status in the mansion.
She used to be a quiet person in school. There were few girls in the entire School of Mechanical Engineering, and she preferred to be alone.
But when she arrived at the mansion, she still couldn't remain mute, so along the way, whenever she came across some place she didn't know, she shamelessly asked Mrs. Cai.
With the intention of showing off, Mrs. Cai also introduced the topography of the mansion.
Qin Wan had a good memory and she memorized everything quietly, paying particular attention to the location of the big kitchen.
