The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

Yu was the wife of Marquis Qin's mansion, yet she not only secretly mortgaged the mansion, but also the deeds of the shops and farms in the mansion.

If this were to be made public, the entire Qin Hou Mansion would be disgraced.

Anyway, the master doesn't care whether the reputation of Qin Hou Mansion is ruined or not. Besides, these things were done by the current mistress of Qin Hou Mansion.

If anyone cares, it should be Qin Jiawang, Qin Huai and Qin Zhaoshi. It has nothing to do with their master.

Qin Wenlan looked at the people in front of him with a surprised look, and also wanted to laugh.

But yes!

A lady from a marquis's mansion was so bold as to mortgage so many shops, farms and even the deeds of the Marquis Qin's mansion.

It's not for any serious business, but to find someone to assassinate the legitimate daughter. Just think about what will happen to the Qin family and the Qin Zhao family if the matter spreads?

Although they also disliked Qin Wenlan very much, it was probably impossible for them to spend such a huge amount of money to kill her.

Not to mention the Qin family, even the Qin Zhao family would not be able to do that. They value real money much more than their lives.

Only Yu obeyed the order. She believed that as long as it was what Qin Shu wanted, she would do it no matter how difficult it was.

Qin Wenlan gathered his thoughts and said to the others, "Alright, everyone, go down! Remember to be cautious and careful, and don't reveal your identity."

Qin Wenlan gave instructions to the cute Lihua Haitang and the others.

Lihua Haitang and the others finally came to their senses and quickly responded.

……

Qin Shu, not long after leaving the corridor, saw Gu Yunzhou coming towards him.

"Your Highness, are you here to pick me up?" Qin Shu greeted him with a smile on his face.

Gu Yunzhou was not in a very good mood because he had been ridiculed by Qin Wenlan before. He just responded lightly, "Yeah."

Qin Shu quickly sensed something was wrong with Gu Yunzhou. He was stunned for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Is your Highness worried about something? He doesn't seem very happy!"

Gu Yunzhou glanced at Qin Shu's abdomen and replied indifferently, "No."

Qin Shu heard this and immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am very happy that you can come and pick me up!

I know that the prince came to pick me up because of the baby in my belly.

However, I am still very happy. In a few months, our child will be born!"

Unexpectedly, it was because of these last words that Gu Yunzhou's eyes suddenly turned cold. He thought of what Qin Wenlan had said at the gate of Marquis Qin's mansion just now. In seven months, he would become a father...

Women have to be pregnant for ten months before they can give birth. He and Qin Shu have only been married for a few days!

But she kept emphasizing seven months later. Wasn't this just mocking him and Qin Shu for having conceived before they even got married?

When he thought of this, how could Gu Yunzhou be happy at all? He still hadn't figured out what happened back then. If it was Qin Shu who set him up, hehe...

"Alright, I'll go talk to Lord Qin first, and then we'll go back to the palace together!"

After he finished speaking, Gu Yunzhou had already walked past Qin Shu and strode inside.

Watching his leaving back, Qin Shu tightened the handkerchief in his hand, no longer smiling, even though he had just denied that he was not unhappy.

But he is obviously very unhappy. I am not blind, so can't I see it?

"Go and find out who the prince just met?" Qin Shu whispered to Lu'er, then turned around and followed Gu Yunzhou.

After meeting Qin Jiawang, Gu Yunzhou took Qin Shu away directly.

As soon as she returned to Prince Yun's Mansion, Qin Shuben thought that Gu Yunzhou would stay overnight in her yard today!

Who would have thought that Gu Yunzhou went somewhere else directly after returning, ignoring Qin Shu's repeated attempts to keep him.

Since they got married, the only time they had physical contact was on that night. After that, Gu Yunzhou never touched her again, let alone stayed in this yard once.

Qin Shu sat in the room, huffing, staring blankly outside without eating or drinking.

Lu Er looked at the person in front of her, hesitated for a while, and went up to comfort her: "Concubine, please don't be angry. Perhaps the prince sympathizes with you because you are pregnant and is afraid that it will affect your rest, so he didn't stay.

You are a pregnant woman now. If you get angry like this, it will affect the little master in your belly."

Qin Shu pinched his fingernails, pursed his lips, and tried hard to suppress the rage in his heart.

Yes, she is pregnant now, and the fetus in her belly cannot be affected in the slightest. She may only have this one chance to be a mother in her life.

No matter what, she had to ensure that the child was born safely. This was her amulet, her support, so nothing could happen to it.

"How's the matter I asked you to inquire about in Marquis Qin's mansion going?" After calming down, Qin Shu asked about what happened in Marquis Qin's mansion.

Lu Er hesitated for a moment before answering, "Concubine, after what I have said, you must not get angry again. It will be bad for the fetus."

After hearing this, Qin Shu said with a gloomy face: "I know the priorities, you decide."

Lu Er stopped agonizing and said directly, "Our prince met the eldest lady who had just returned home at the gate of Qin Hou Mansion. The eldest lady congratulated the prince, and then the prince stood there for a while before entering the mansion in a bad mood."

"Is that all?" Qin Shu asked.

Lu Er said, "It seems so. I asked the guard at the door and he said he was standing a little far away, so that's all he heard."

Qin Shu didn't ask any further questions. Was it just a congratulation?

Then why is he in a bad mood? Thinking of this, Qin Shu couldn't help but pinch his fingernails. Could it be that the bitch said something to Prince Yun? Otherwise, how could he be in a bad mood?

"Concubine, you..."

"It's okay." Qin Shu responded indifferently.

……

The next day, there was suddenly a new topic that people in the capital talked about with great relish. People in restaurants, teahouses, and on the streets were talking about it endlessly.

"You know, Mrs. Yu, the wife of the Marquis of Qin's mansion, took the house deeds, land and shops of the Marquis of Qin's mansion and mortgaged them to Jiangji, Liji and Zhangji money houses.

A total of 1.6 million taels of silver were mortgaged!"

"Ah, she actually mortgaged so much? Then what on earth did she intend to do with all this silver?

Could it be that something big happened in Marquis Qin's mansion that we are unaware of?"

"Who knows what she wants to do with all this silver she pawned? It's no small sum!"

"That's right! However, I heard that this lady is the second wife of Marquis Qin, and she was promoted from a concubine. Perhaps something big happened in her family!"

"That's a possibility. After all, from what I heard before, the wife of this concubine who rose to power came from a poor family.

Her ancestors were either farmers or slaves, and I never thought that the Marquis Qin's mansion would actually support her as the principal wife, haha~"

"What's so strange about this? The old lady of the Marquis Qin's mansion originally rose to power in this way. She also sat on the position of mistress of the house as a concubine."

"Oh, that's not surprising. It turns out this is a family tradition!"
