The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

The lady thought that this good marriage was directly attributed to the merit of heaven. What else could she say? What else could she do?

Qin Wenlan seemed not to notice the strange expressions on the faces of the lady and Liu Qingyao. He sat there with a smile on his face, as still as a mountain, his shoulders straight and his demeanor light.

Liu Qingyao glanced at her grandmother, then immediately stood up and said, "Grandma, I have to take Wenlan out. I'm afraid you'll be busy here too!"

The lady smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Qin Wenlan, "Let Yao'er take you around the mansion. We'll all be a family from now on, so we should visit each other more often and don't be too restrained."

Qin Wenlan nodded with a faint smile, then left with Liu Qingyao.

As soon as they left, all the smiles on the lady's face disappeared. This eldest daughter of the Qin family is no ordinary girl!

It seems that her good daughter-in-law's wish will be in vain. Can a child who grew up in a manor really be so powerful?

You have to know that there are many noble ladies in the capital who are no more than this. It seems that all the previous information was biased!

Prince An took a fancy to Qin Wenlan. The lady-in-waiting did not agree at first. Even though he was disabled now, she did not want her grandson to marry such a vulgar person in the eyes of others.

But when I saw her today, the lady's expression was much more serious. She had some small thoughts before.

She thought that since her grandson had married a girl from such a manor, wouldn't her cousin have a better chance? So she was happy to see it happen!

But it seems that she miscalculated today. This person didn't come out of the manor at all, haha.

Liu Qingyao took Qin Wenlan to her own garden and said as they walked, "Wenlan, my grandmother just said something, you don't need to take it to heart."

Qin Wenlan looked at Liu Qingyao with a bit of surprise, thinking that she didn't understand!

Facing Qin Wenlan's surprised expression, Liu Qingyao whispered softly: "That's their old Lord Feng. She's not really a fool, okay!"

Qin Wenlan understood, and she smiled casually, "I don't take these words to heart."

It's not something to take to heart, but it's a bit unpleasant. Of course, Liu Qingyao heard the hidden meaning!

The garden is full of rockery in strange shapes and crisscrossing each other. In the distance, vines are entwined, and clusters of blooming flowers are scattered among them, adding a bit of beauty.

Liu Qingyao pulled Qin Wenlan through a crescent-shaped gate, crossed an arched bridge, and walked along a long water corridor. Before they got close, they heard bursts of talking and laughing.

Qin Wenlan turned his head to look at Liu Qingyao, his meaning was very clear, should he go directly over or take a detour?

Liu Qingyao said to her, "Those places are used to entertain the ladies from various families. I will take you there to meet them. In fact, they have all appeared in the palace before, and you should remember them all."

Qin Wenlan followed Liu Qingyao in that direction without any objection. After entering from this side, he found that there was indeed a different world inside.

Dozens of small tables and chairs are placed randomly in the flower garden. The small paths paved with bluestone are interconnected. Both sides of the paths are lined with colorful flowers, competing with each other in beauty, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Because of the cover of these flowers, I could only hear the sounds but could not see the people making the sounds. It is a very special place!

The first table they met was filled with familiar people, all of whom they had met in the palace before.

Of course, Qin Wenlan only knew them unilaterally and had never talked to them. After all, she was very familiar with these people in her previous life!

One is the eldest daughter of the Censor’s family, Yu Qinglan.

One is the granddaughter of the Taifu, Lu Minglan.

There is also the left prime minister’s second daughter, Zhang Yihua.

Looking at the few people who were talking about something, they all had smiles on their faces.

Zhang Yihua saw the two of them as soon as he looked up, and hurriedly waved to them to sit down.

Then he said, "We were wondering why we didn't see you, the little host, but it turns out you're here to entertain the distinguished guests in person. It really is something else!"

Liu Qingyao smiled and covered Zhang Yihua's mouth, "You are such a heartless little thing, you are always talking nonsense. I personally received you every time you came.

This is Wenlan's first visit, so of course I have to treat her with all my heart. She's not familiar with the house, and she's not one of you. Besides, we'll be family in the future, so of course I have to treat her with more care! "

Yu Qinglan pulled Qin Wenlan to sit next to them, "Don't worry about them, it's the same every time you see us, you should have known us in the palace!

There's no need to introduce me again. If you have time in the future, you can hang out with us more often. We're all the same kind of women, so there's no need to be so particular.

"Well, you can come find me if you have free time in the future!"

"That's for sure. Just don't let that happen and you'll be so busy you won't be around anymore."

Yu Qinglan nodded. They, the younger generation, didn’t have so many cunning thoughts. If they could get along, they would get along. If they couldn’t, they wouldn’t get along.

Lu Minglan also wanted to come over and talk to them, but seeing that they were already talking enthusiastically, she didn't come over and just listened quietly.

Liu Qingyao was about to say something when a maid suddenly came over and called her, saying something was wrong. She could only apologize and leave. Before leaving, she asked a few people to take good care of Wenlan.

Lu Minglan looked at the girl who came over to call people and saw that there seemed to be nothing unusual, but the anxiety deep in her eyes could not be hidden. Could something have happened?

Yu Qinglan pulled Qin Wenlan aside and told her about what happened at today's birthday party.

Over there, Zhang Yihua had already asked the maids to bring over new tea sets and snacks, and the few of them sat down and continued chatting.

Most of the conversations were about which shop in the capital had new products, which jewelry store had new styles, etc. These were girls' private conversations.

They sat together and looked very happy, but their minds were wandering.

After all, they are not from the same camp, and the princes supported by each family are also different.

Besides, Qin Wenlan was the future Princess An! Even if there were any words, they were just polite remarks. Of course, on the surface, they were still very harmonious.

Yu Qinglan smiled at Qin Wenlan and said, "You should know that His Royal Highness Prince An will also come to celebrate Madam Dowager's birthday today, right?!"

Even if Qin Wenlan knew, he would not say it out loud. He just shook his head and said, "I'm not really sure, but I can still guess."

After all, no one really told her these things!

When the other people heard this, they burst into laughter. Lu Minglan looked at Qin Wenlan and said softly, "I think His Royal Highness Prince An will be very happy to see you here today.

After all, this is different from the last banquet in the palace!

Last time he couldn't talk to you directly, but this time he will definitely come and talk to you!"

Qin Wenlan: ...

"Minglan is right. If I were in your place, I would be very happy too. After all, this is a rare opportunity to see you!" Zhang Yihua winked at Qin Wenlan.

Who outside doesn't know that Qin Wenlan was replaced by His Royal Highness Prince An who went to the emperor in person? This honor is not something that everyone can get, let alone the cold-faced Prince An.

Even after all these years of being engaged to Qin Shu, I haven't seen him do anything special to Qin Shu!

Several princes in the royal family are very outstanding, but only Prince An keeps himself clean. It is precisely because of this that he is liked by many noble ladies in the capital.

Even though he is disabled now, there are still many families who want their daughters to become Princess An!
