The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

"My Lord, this is all my fault. I hope you won't get so angry that you ruin your health."

After he finished speaking, tears began to flow like pearls from a broken string.

Although this well-maintained old face had some wrinkles due to constant worries in recent times, Qin Jiawang's heart still trembled slightly.

Over the years, what Qin Jiawang hated most was Yu's tears and her humble appearance, especially her weakness when she showed a little tenderness and kindness.

As long as she cried and lowered her head, Qin Jiawang would soften his heart immediately, no matter how angry he was, and it always worked.

This is also the source of Yu's confidence. Over the years, she has figured out all of Qin Jiawang's thoughts and bottom lines.

Look, Qin Jiawang's face is no longer as dark as when he came in before.

He said, "Now tell me what you have done wrong. Are you really as bad as people are saying?"

"You took the deeds to the mansion's real estate, the shops, and the land inside, and used them as collateral at several banks?"

After saying this, Qin Jiawang, who had originally looked better, became gloomy again.

When Yu saw this, she no longer bothered to pretend to wipe the tears from her face. She knelt in front of Qin Jiawang again and hugged his calf tightly.

Xiaoyi gently confessed to him, "My Lord, I did take the land deeds, shops, and real estate deeds in the Marquis' Mansion and mortgaged them at several banks, but I really have my reasons!

My Lord, you can't just come back and scold me based on the rumors outside. I did that all for our book!

If it weren't for our book, I wouldn't have been so bold. My Lord, you know best what kind of person I have been over the years."

Yu almost cried and wailed to the Qin family as she explained the whole story, saying that Qin Wenlan had forced Qin Shu to swallow a highly poisonous pill and then came back to ask her for 800,000 taels of silver.

Qin Shu had no way to come up with so much silver for the time being, so he came directly to her for help.

How could their precious daughter endure even a little bit of hardship? That's why she took out her belongings and mortgaged them at the bank.

There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, she was just a girl born in a poor family. She didn't have so much silver, shops, or even a manor with a hot spring!

If they didn't use the things in Marquis Qin's mansion as collateral, would their precious daughter have no choice but to watch helplessly as she waited to die?

After listening to Yu's words, Qin Jia frowned tightly. Of course, he couldn't completely believe everything Yu said.

Then she asked directly: "You said Wenlan gave Shu'er a poisonous pill? Why would Wenlan do this? No matter what, Shu'er is still her sister, right?

There's no reason for her to do this. There's no deep hatred! There's no reason for her to do something meaningless!"

Yu raised her sleeves to wipe away her non-existent tears: "My Lord, this is because she has always been jealous of our Shu'er!

She was jealous that Shu'er had been loved by us for so many years, and that Shu'er had a good mother like me to protect him from all the hardships.

She was jealous that the Marquis loved Shu'er as much as before. All the good things in Marquis Qin's Mansion were enjoyed by our Shu'er, but she had never enjoyed anything.

She must also be jealous that the prince Shu'er married has a much higher status and position than that disabled prince!

Anyway, a person's jealousy is groundless, not to mention that she has left us at the Qin Family Manor until now, how could she not be jealous of our books!"

After a slight pause, Yu continued, "The eldest lady is not only jealous of Shu'er, but she probably hates me the most.

She also hated the Marquis for forgetting her existence over the years, causing her to suffer so much in the Qin family manor.

Even the eldest lady hates everyone in our entire Qin Hou Mansion. Thinking about the life she has lived over the years, how can she not hate them to the core?"

As Yu spoke, she stole a glance at Qin Jiawang, and then continued, "My Lord, think carefully about what she has done and what her attitude has been like since she was brought back from the Qin family manor.

She has never had any manners in front of us, not to mention how much respect she has for us. She doesn't even know the slightest bit of etiquette.

I used to think that she just came back and wasn't used to it yet.

In addition, I thought that she grew up in the Qin family manor since she was a child, and no one taught her all the rules and etiquette, so she was so rude.

But what did she do in front of the concubines and the empress dowager in the palace?

She has very proper manners and etiquette, and can even be considered to have the demeanor of a noble lady!

Was there ever any fault in him? Did he look like he had just returned from a manor?

This shows that she is not ignorant of the rules and etiquette, but she is doing this intentionally because she hates everyone in the Qinhou Mansion."

The more Yu spoke, the gloomier Qin Jiawang's face became. He thought carefully about what Yu said and realized that it was true!

Qin Wenlan seemed to have really returned with full of hatred. When he was just brought back to the Qin Hou Mansion, he immediately used some means to take back the Fanrong Courtyard where Min lived.

Then, he took back all of Min's dowry through Prince An. All these signs indicate that Qin Wenlan actually came back to avenge Min.

But how could she, a little girl, who had just left, know about what happened to the Min family back then?

After Qin Jiaran had such thoughts, he raised his hand and swept away all the tea sets on the table, and it became a mess in an instant.

The rage on his face could no longer be suppressed, and his eyes were red like a demon from hell.

Yu was so frightened that she didn't dare to add any more fuel to the fire!

"This Marquis truly has a good daughter. After bringing her home, didn't I provide her with good food, drink, and even a comfortable place to live? How could I have treated her unfairly? I never thought she would actually dare to hate the entire Marquisate?

If I had known she was such an ungrateful person, I would have preferred never to have given birth to her. I should have let her fend for herself in the Qin Family Manor."

When Yu saw that Qin Jiawang finally believed her words, she felt even more proud.

She raised her sleeve and continued to wipe the non-existent cat urine: "My Lord, this is all my fault. I wish I hadn't sent her to the Qin Family Manor!

She wouldn't have harbored such hatred, let alone hated the Marquis and the entire Marquis Qin's Mansion."
