The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

If this Liu Qingyao is also a person like her mother, she will just not get along with him.

Qin Wenlan has a strong sense of perception. He can tell from Liu Qingyao that she is a woman with a generous personality, knowledgeable and interesting. He feels very comfortable getting along with her.

Liu Qingyao took Qin Wenlan to see the old lady first. She said quietly, "It's still early now. My grandmother hasn't gone to the front hall yet. It's a good time for us to go now.

Besides, my grandmother has long ago instructed me to take you over to talk to her when you come."

"Of course. After all, as a junior, I should pay my respects to my elders first."

Qin Wenlan nodded. She still wanted to find out the situation in the Ningguo Mansion. She also wanted to know whether the matter of Li Xiaohua was the idea of ​​the Ningguo Mansion’s wife alone or the whole Mansion.

After all, this is Prince An's maternal grandparents' home, and also the maiden family of both his mother and aunt. He will inevitably have dealings with them in the future, so now is a good time to find out more about them so that he can have a better idea of ​​the situation.

We walked all the way, passed several moon gates, walked through several winding corridors, and finally stepped into a hanging flower gate. We saw the bluestone paved ground in the courtyard and the ornamental lotus in the scattered lotus ponds.

At this time, the lotus leaves were already green, and there were a few golden fish playing with each other in the water, rolling around non-stop, which was very pleasing to the eye.

When they stepped onto the stairs, the little girl had already opened the door curtain for them. Liu Qingyao took her in, and what they saw was a complete set of rosewood furniture.

At first glance, it was the main hall used for meeting guests. Sure enough, Liu Qingyao took her around a screen and into the second room.

As I entered, I saw an old woman sitting in the middle. She was wearing a dark red double-breasted jacket with a pattern of fortune and longevity, a headband inlaid with gems on her head, Buddhist beads in her hands, and a faint smile on her face.

"Grandma, look who I brought to you?" Liu Qingyao said with a smile.

When the Lady Dowager of the Ningguo Mansion heard this, she looked at Qin Wenlan with a smile on her face, but she said, "You naughty monkey, you only know how to do mischief. Why don't you tell me now?"

Liu Qingyao pushed Qin Wenlan forward, "This is my cousin's future daughter-in-law, the eldest daughter of the Qin family!"

The lady squinted her eyes and looked at Qin Wenlan. "Well, she is a good girl."

"Wenlan greets the Madam." Qin Wenlan stepped forward and bowed, then turned around and took a brocade box from Lihua's hand.

"Today is the great birthday of Madam Tai. I wish her a life as long as the evergreen pines on the southern mountain, a smile on her face, and a life of happiness with her family!"

Having said that, he handed the birthday gift to the old nanny beside the lady, and then stepped aside and stayed quietly!

The lady's smile remained on her face, but she was amazed in her heart. This Miss Qin actually grew up in the Qin family manor. You really can't tell at all.

Just looking at his demeanor and manners, how could he look like someone who grew up in a wild place? Rumors really can't be trusted!

No wonder his grandson was willing to replace him at the last minute!

If a person like this is not willing to change his mind, he must be a fool. It seems that there is some difference between a legitimate daughter and a concubine's daughter taking the throne!

If the previous Miss Qin was as good as the one in front of him, how could my dear grandson run to His Majesty to exchange her?

Thinking of Li Xiaohua in the mansion, the lady sighed slightly in her heart. It seems that there is not much hope!

With such momentum, how could Li Xiaohua compare with him? It seems that this time the daughter-in-law will have to bear the consequences of her own actions!

I wonder how she will continue after this!

The old lady's mind was in a state of flux, but she showed no sign of it as she held Qin Wenlan's hand and sat beside her, with Liu Qingyao beside her.

"My dear child, I have granted you the imperial decree to marry you. I have been longing to see you, but I am afraid that it will scare you too much, so I have held back.

Fortunately, we finally met today. No wonder my good grandson insisted on changing people at the last minute. Now that I see you, I finally understand.

After hearing these words, Qin Wenlan seemed to be praising her, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that he was saying that she got the marriage because of her face.

However, she also sensed that the old woman in front of her did not really like her.

And she was not wrong in her previous perception. This old woman had the same thoughts as the wife of Duke Ningguo!

They all want to sell Li Xiaohua to Gu Changan!

It seems that she came to the right place this time. It is good that she can know the situation early so that she can make arrangements in the future!

However, she also said without showing it on her face: "Madam, your praise is too much. Wenlan doesn't deserve it."

Qin Wenlan pretended to be shy and lowered his head slightly to hide the strange look in his eyes.

It's just a show, it's like everyone can do it.

"Grandma, Wenlan must have some unknown abilities. Otherwise, how could my cousin and aunt like her so much and replace her at the last minute?"

Liu Qingyao took over the topic directly.

"You, you only know how to say these naughty words."

The lady said happily, then turned to look at Qin Wenlan, "Good boy, this naughty boy in our family is not as quiet and sensible as you. I hope you will take care of him more in the future."

Qin Wenlan looked up at the lady and said with a smile, "She is just a person of true nature. I also want this kind of personality, but the environment does not allow it!"

Qin Wenlan thought that a woman like Liu Qingyao, who was born and raised in a big family, was certainly not comparable to someone like her who was just trying to make a living. She was just taking advantage of him!

She didn't dare take it seriously. After all, a noble lady from a prominent family like her was not someone she could compare to.

The lady was stunned. She didn't expect that the woman in front of her would reveal her ugly side like this.

"It seems you are an honest child."

Qin Wenlan smiled sadly, "Anyway, it's all out in the open. There's nothing to hide. It's not something that can't be said."

Liu Qingyao has not yet realized the deep meaning of her grandmother's words, but Qin Wenlan has already sensed it, but she doesn't care!

Whether the people in Ningguo Mansion like her or not has little to do with her long-term stability in her position as Princess An. Besides, she will no longer care about other people's thoughts and preferences.

"Grandma, I've told you before that Wenlan is doing fine!" Liu Qingyao said with a smile.

"You were brought back at the right time." The lady looked at Wenlan and said word by word.

Qin Wenlan didn't like this look very much, coupled with the words just now, but she didn't show it at all.

Instead, he continued to pretend very well and said nonchalantly: "Maybe everything is destined!"

"Perhaps. Otherwise, even if Prince An wanted to replace someone at the last minute, it wouldn't be you. Then your marriage to Prince An wouldn't be so smooth!"

The smile on the lady's face was gentle and calm, and these words seemed to come from the bottom of her heart.

Qin Wenlan, however, could sense something different. What was this lady trying to test?

Liu Qingyao, who had been completely unaware of the situation, pursed her lips and smiled, "This is fate."

The lady looked at her granddaughter, then at Qin Wenlan, as if waiting for her answer.

The expression on Qin Wenlan's face faded. He no longer looked at the lady, but turned to look outside.

Then he spoke slowly, "Perhaps God saw that I had a miserable childhood, so he sent me a good marriage."

My previous thoughts were confirmed. It seems that the Duke's wife is not the only one who is greedy and wants to have an elephant.

But everyone in the Duke’s Mansion has the same idea!

However, when it comes to her, it becomes a bit confusing!

Is it possible that the words "I'm easy to bully" are written on her face? Hehe~~

Qin Wenlan's thoughts were in a whirlwind, but it didn't affect his conversation with others!

Perhaps it was because the expression on Qin Wenlan's face was too real. Even though the lady had seen many ups and downs, it was the first time for her to see someone like Qin Wenlan who did not play by the rules at this age.
