The Return of the Marquis's Daughter
Chapter 8: Taking Back the Hou Mansion
Things are really different now. In this life, I was taken back to the Marquis' Mansion a whole year earlier~~~
Qin Wenlan raised his eyes to look at Yu who was sitting in the main seat. She was a woman in her early forties, but because she took good care of herself, she looked like she was in her thirties.
She wore a pomegranate red skirt embroidered with gold thread, and her hair was covered with jewels. At first glance, she looked extremely luxurious. However, Yu was originally a woman of humble origins.
She was also a stepmother who was promoted from a concubine. Qin Jiawang's first wife was named Min, and she was the youngest daughter of the current patriarch of the Min family, an old and established family in Minnan.
Before marrying into the Qin family, Min had no idea that the Qin family already had a concubine and a son and a daughter. This person was Yu.
So as soon as Min died, Yu sent her child directly to the manor.
When Qin Wenlan thought about the fact that he was sent to the manor in his previous life because people thought he was unlucky, he felt it was extremely stupid!
When she thought about how she was taken back to the Marquis' Mansion by Yu in her previous life, and thought that this was due to Yu's kindness and that she was trying hard to fulfill the duties of a legitimate daughter, she unconsciously clenched her fists.
In this life, she must pay with blood and avenge her unjustly killed mother and her foolish self.
"You just returned home, why don't you go and rest?" Yu frowned, with unconcealable disgust in her eyes.
"That bitch is just like her mother. If she wasn't still useful, who would bother thinking about her? Why is she hanging around here instead of staying at her own place? She's such an eyesore!"
Qin Wenlan caught the disgust in Yu's eyes and lowered his eyes, pretending not to see it. It was all acting anyway. He didn't know it in his previous life, but now hehe~~~
When I think about how stupid I was in my previous life, I actually thought I was not good enough. I grew up in a country manor and did not look like a lady from a wealthy family.
She is not as talented as Qin Shu, nor as pleasing to others. She also feels that she has finally returned to the Marquis' Mansion, so she is very cautious and low-key, not competing or fighting.
And he has been working hard to learn things, memorizing useless poems and songs, and trying hard to learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, which he doesn't like, and how to deal with people, just in the hope of surviving better in the marquis' mansion.
But she didn't know that no matter how outstanding she was, no matter how good she was at dealing with people, no matter how talented she was, she would not have a place to stand~~~
"Didn't you come here to thank Madam? If Madam hadn't been so kind as to send someone to bring me back, I'd probably have stayed in the manor for the rest of my life!"
Qin Wenlan still did not salute Yu. He glanced at a chair not far away and sat down on it.
As soon as Qin Wenlan finished speaking, Yu's face darkened and she spoke angrily, "What kind of words are you talking about? It would be terrible if people heard them. You are the legitimate daughter of Marquis Qin's mansion, aren't you? How can you stay in the manor forever?
It's just that I was so busy in the past few years that I forgot to send someone to pick you up. Besides, you're in better shape now, so you can't just stay away forever!"
Qin Wenlan leaned most of her body on the chair, shook her beautiful legs, and tilted her head to look at Yu.
It's really a double-edged sword. How come I don't know what's wrong with me?
You actually found such a poor excuse. Just ignore it. Why give yourself such a high-sounding reason?
I didn’t seem to say this in my previous life. Could it be that the direction of this life is really different?
"Then I have to thank you, Madam, for your kindness in not letting me, someone with poor health, stay in the manor forever~"
Yu's face froze, then her expression became even more exciting. "What are you saying? How can you, a daughter of a marquis, be forgotten forever?"
"Isn't this still the kindness and goodness of Madam? Otherwise, Madam would have been so busy that she would have forgotten it~"
As soon as Qin Wenlan said this, Yu's eyelids jumped. She would not forget the purpose of bringing Qin Wenlan back. Gu Changan was seriously injured on the battlefield half a year ago, and it was not known whether he could be cured in the future.
Even if she was cured, she would not be any better than a normal person. Besides, Qin Shu had cried and made a fuss with her several times, saying that she did not want to marry Gu Changan. She now preferred the Fifth Prince Gu Yunzhou.
Meanwhile, Yu Shi also learned that Qin Jiawang was secretly supporting the Fifth Prince, Gu Yunzhou. Perhaps the Fifth Prince would actually ascend to the throne in the future.
Qin Shu is her daughter. If she can become the queen one day, she, as her mother, will also have face.
But the marriage between Qin Shu and Gu Changan was arranged several years ago, and it was a marriage granted by the emperor himself. It is not something that can be canceled simply by saying so.
The reason she brought Qin Wenlan back was to have her replace Qin Shu and marry the seriously injured Gu Changan. How could she not pretend? She couldn't let the little bitch see anything.
Yu suppressed her disgust for Qin Wenlan and put on a kind smile, "Miss, you really understand me, Madam. I have a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
I've been thinking of sending someone to bring you back, and I know you're not having a good time in the manor, but now that you're back, let's forget about the past!"
"I understand. I won't let Madam down." Qin Wenlan responded perfunctorily and suddenly changed the subject.
"Madam, I'd like to ask if you have any double-sided Shu brocade in your warehouse. You know I haven't had a single decent piece of clothing in the manor over the years!
It didn’t matter over there, since no one saw us anyway, and no one would laugh at us in the mansion. But now that I’m back…” Qin Wenlan said half of it, leaving the other half.
Yu's face froze again, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly. She had recently obtained a double-sided Shu brocade, which was very precious and rare.
Qin Shu liked the double-sided Shu brocade very much. She only agreed to cut out a part of it to make two sets of clothes for her. But Qin Wenlan asked for the whole piece.
I don't know where that little bitch got the nerve to even give away her own daughter. Yu was extremely disgusted with Qin Wenlan in her heart, but she could only suppress it and not show it.
Yu said to Qin Wenlan very patiently, "Miss, I promised to make clothes for Qin Shu with that double-faced Shu brocade a long time ago.
Otherwise, I'll have someone go to the warehouse and pick out something else for you. Don't worry, I'll definitely pick out the best for you."
Qin Wenlan's face instantly fell. "It seems that the same treatment Madam mentioned can actually make a big difference. This is the first time I can't even get what I want!"
As soon as Qin Wenlan said this, Yu's face turned very ugly. She looked at Qin Wenlan's expression carefully, guessed that she was just saying it casually, and then she calmed down.
She didn't want outsiders to know that she was a two-faced mistress. Even if she did, she could only hide it in the dark and never show it in the open.
