The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

"Miss, people already look down on us. If we continue to dress like this..." Guihua said worriedly.

Qin Wenlan said nonchalantly, "If your young lady really were to dress up as a walking golden figurehead, it would really make everyone in the capital laugh out loud!

People are already saying I'm a vulgar person, if I dress up like a walking golden statue, imagine the scene?"

When Mudan thought about that scene, she quickly grabbed a few people who were still trying to persuade the young lady, "It's better this way. After all, our young lady is the most beautiful no matter what."

"We're all just skin and bones, so how can we age slower than others? However, when I think about the fact that I'm really going to age slower than others in this life, I feel pretty happy."

But when she thought of Qin Shu, Qin Wenlan sneered, thinking, when had Qin Shu not been compared with her in beauty?

I don't see that she lives a much better life than me. If it weren't for Yu, people like her would have become a joke.

Living a pretentious life, all day long she is either comparing beauties or comparing jewelry and clothes, and she never feels tired of it.

After sorting out his thoughts, he went to the front and said something to Yu and others, then Qin Wenlan got on the carriage and went directly to the Ningguo Mansion.

Duke Ningguo is also a long-established noble family in the capital. Their mansion is located in the noble area in the south of the capital, occupying an entire street. At a glance, you can see flying eaves and walls and deep courtyards.

At this time, the Ningguo Mansion was a busy scene. Outside the mansion, there was a constant stream of traffic and people coming and going. The carriages coming to celebrate the birthday formed a long line.

Qin Wenlan didn't arrive too early. The carriage in the Qin Hou Mansion was inconspicuous among the many nobles. A servant from the mansion had already come to lead them in.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Qin Wenlan got off and told the driver to move the carriage aside so as not to block other people's way.

There are two lifelike stone lions squatting in front of you, and several golden-red doors. The plaque above it has the dazzling gold-plated characters "Ningguo Mansion".

As soon as you enter, you will see corridors on both sides, a hall in the middle, and a large screen beyond that.

After walking around the big screen, we entered the Moon Gate, where we were greeted by a bustling scene.

There was a constant stream of guests coming to congratulate him. Qin Wenlan looked at the scene before him, and then thought of Qin Zhao's birthday. It was like heaven and earth, and this was after she had an engagement with the royal family!

Look at them here, this is a real aristocratic family!

Qin Wenlan was mixed in with the crowd and walked along without being noticeable. Lady Ningguo had been waiting at the inner gate to greet the guests early in the morning. Two young and beautiful girls were standing beside her, one dignified and graceful, the other enchanting and charming.

I just met the dignified Qin Wenlan in the palace last time. She is Liu Qingyao from the Ningguo Mansion. The other one is probably Miss Li, a cousin who is three thousand miles away.

It was the first time that Qin Wenlan had seen such a woman. She had an enchanting figure and a pair of bright eyes. She was wearing a dark blue brocade shirt and a rose red long skirt.

Liu Qingyao was also wearing an apricot red dress today, which was festive and elegant. She had a flying bun, a red jade hairpin, her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and she had the dignified and elegant feeling of a legitimate daughter.

At this moment, people were coming and going in the place, and their eyes fell on Miss Li. She had been sitting in the Duke's Mansion for some years, and the Duke's wife treated her like her own daughter. Some people were already making plans.

Qin Wenlan's sudden appearance made everyone's attention shift to her almost instantly, and everyone's consciousness was inexplicably disturbed.

The wife of Duke Ningguo had also seen Qin Wenlan in the palace. She recognized him as soon as he appeared. The girl beside her reacted much faster than her and stepped forward directly, "Miss Qin, you are here."

Qin Wenlan gave Liu Qingyao a faint smile, "It's Madam Tai's birthday, how can I, as a junior, not come and celebrate for her?"

Liu Qingyao brought Qin Wenlan to her mother with a smile on her face, "Mom, this is Qin Wenlan, the eldest daughter of the Marquis Qin's mansion." After saying that, she turned her head to look at Qin Wenlan, "Wenlan, this is my mother."

Qin Wenlan could sense the subtle gaze of Lady Ningguo on him, but he ignored it and bowed to her. "Wenlan greets Lady Ningguo."

Lady Ningguo quickly reached out her hand to help her up. "Young Miss, you are so polite. I have wanted to meet you for a long time, and today I finally got the chance." She nodded to Miss Li beside her and said, "Xiaohua, why don't you come and meet the young lady?"

Li Xiaohua walked forward with a smile on her face and bowed slightly to Qin Wenlan, "Xiaohua greets Miss Qin."

Qin Wenlan slightly moved aside and asked, "Who is this?"

Lady Ningguo said with a smile, "This is my niece Xiaohua from my mother's family. She's heard Qingyao mention the eldest lady a long time ago, and today she finally got to see her!"

Li Xiaohua gave an embarrassed smile, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Miss Qin."

Liu Qingyao smiled and said, "Mom, I'll take Wenlan in right away. You can continue with your work."

There was a constant stream of guests coming and going, and Lady Ningguo really didn't have time to continue chatting. After all, the occasion didn't allow it, so she could only respond.

Li Xiaohua hesitated for a moment, but continued to accompany her aunt to welcome the guests. In fact, she really wanted to follow Qin Wenlan, after all, her thoughts were not pure!

Over there, Liu Qingyao was already walking and chatting with Qin Wenlan!

"I didn't know you were such an elegant and generous person. I wanted to chat with you last time in the palace, but the situation didn't allow it, so I had to give up.

Now that we're on my own, we should have a good chat, otherwise I'll be bored to death." Liu Qingyao said excitedly.

This is her cousin's wife! She can't treat her badly. It seems that the rumors outside are all false. How can the person in front of her look so vulgar?

If he can make his cousin replace someone at the last minute, he must be quite capable, and he doesn't sound like a vulgar person from the way he talks!

What's more, she is a descendant of the Min family, which is a truly old and aristocratic family!

Perhaps there is something fishy going on in Marquis Qin's mansion. After all, Yu is a concubine who rose to power, so her words should be carefully considered before listening.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Qin Wenlan to stay in the Qin family manor for more than ten years. How could a person who could grow up to be what he is today just go there easily?

It seems that her cousin has a sharp eye and knows that Qin Shu is not as good as Qin Wenlan, so he changed people at the last minute? Her aunt did not object from beginning to end.

Maybe this Qin Wenlan has some unknown strengths!

After all, my aunt has fought her way through the palace, and her eyes are much sharper than my cousin's. And at this palace banquet, my aunt also looked very satisfied.

There was no trace of disdain in her heart, even though they had never met in person, they were attracted to each other. It was already impressive enough that her cousin liked her, and it was really not easy to get her aunt's approval!

Liu Qingyao walked while his thoughts drifted away~~

"Are you still short of someone to talk to?" Qin Wenlan continued meaningfully.

Looking at Liu Qingyao's appearance, it seemed as if his thoughts had flown to Java.

However, seeing how excited she was to see me, I knew that she and the Duke's wife were not the same kind of people. After all, no matter how pretentious a person is, there will always be some flaws.
