The ceremonial officer wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Old Master Qin forced this official to ask you to go and see Old Madam Qin. He said she was feeling unwell on her way back to the capital!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but frown, she couldn't avoid what was coming!

This wasn't about asking her to see a doctor, it was clearly about giving her a warning.

But she couldn't refuse.

Because the Qin family has a high status, especially before he went to Suchuan, he was the Taifu of Emperor Sheng'an.

Nowadays, he has quite a few disciples in the court.

And he holds a very high official position!

She asked Zi'er to pack the medicine box, and then saw Lin Su rushing over after hearing the news.

She frowned and said, "If Madam Qin embarrasses you, you must be careful in your response. Don't let rumors spread that you are disrespectful to her. Then someone in the court will target you and Ah Yan!"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "Don't worry, mother, I will make the decision!"

Lin Su sighed helplessly: "It's hard for you!"

Lin Yiwan was mentally prepared, so even when she arrived at the inn and the old nanny beside Old Madam Qin said that she had just gone to bed and asked her to wait for a moment, she remained calm and composed.

She asked Zi'er to take the brocade stool from the carriage and sit at the door waiting leisurely.

At this time, on the bed in the inner room, Old Lady Qin was drinking a bowl of almond soup from the hand of a beautiful woman in brocade clothes.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "Jin'er, did you put too much frosting this time?"

Qin Jinjin's expression suddenly changed, and she quickly said, "Grandma, are you feeling too sweet? This is Jin'er's fault. I wonder if it's because I changed the stove and pot, but I got a little confused!"

A woman nearby chuckled and joked, "In my opinion, Jinjin isn't confused, but confused in her mind. Returning to the capital, she's closer to the person she longs for day and night!"

Qin Jinjin immediately lowered her eyes shyly. She bit her lips tightly and did not dare to argue.

Madam Qin was still very protective of her granddaughter. She frowned and scolded, "Qin Xuanshu, can't you control your mouth? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will beat you with a stick!"

Qin Xuanshu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Mother, just side with her. Just ask her, am I wrong? Is she distracted?"

Qin Jinjin argued anxiously: "Aunt, I didn't!"

Qin Xuanshu didn't believe it, she reached out and snatched a scroll from her sleeve.

She handed it to Old Lady Qin and said, "Mother, look carefully. The edges of this painting are almost frayed from her touching. She must have touched it a lot!"

Old Madam Qin stretched out her hand, revealing a slender figure with a graceful demeanor.

If Lin Yiwan entered the house at this moment, she would definitely find this figure very familiar.

It’s a pity that she didn’t see it!

The moment Old Lady Qin saw the portrait, her expression became complicated.

She frowned and said, "Jin'er, you haven't given up yet? He probably doesn't even remember who you are. Why are you still so obsessed with him?"

Qin Jinjin said anxiously, "Grandma, you and Auntie have misunderstood. I don't have any feelings for him. I put it in my sleeve because I was planning to find an opportunity to burn it!"

After a pause, she continued, "Grandmother, haven't you kept Madam Hou waiting for too long? She's here to see you. If you make things too difficult for her, people will definitely say you're not magnanimous!"

Qin Xuanshu couldn't help but tut, "Hey, why are you so supportive of her? She stole the person you've been dreaming of, and you're still worried about her getting hurt. You're really a traitor!"

Qin Jinjin argued aggrievedly: "Aunt, I didn't. I was also concerned about my grandmother's reputation. I was afraid that outsiders would accuse her of showing off her power to the Marquis' Mansion!"

Madam Qin patted her hands and said, "Alright, don't be nervous. Doesn't Grandmother know your little tricks? I'm afraid she'll hold a grudge against you and say bad things about you in front of Zhan Yan!"

Qin Jinjin let out a moan and snuggled into Old Madam Qin's arms.

Madam Qin sighed helplessly, "My foolish child, how could you have endured such a bitter love for so many years? How painful must it be?"

Qin Jinjin shook her head: "It's not hard. As long as I see his portrait, my granddaughter feels that living in this world is worth it!"

A flash of heartache flashed in Old Lady Qin's eyes. She said in a serious tone, "Grandmother will make the decision for you this time. We no longer need to look at the portrait to comfort our longing for you. We can only look at the real person!"

Qin Jinjin stared blankly: "Grandma, what are you going to do?"

Qin Xuanshu reached out and pulled her up: "You silly girl, why do you think your grandmother asked Lin Yiwan to come for a consultation? It was to deliberately pressure her and test her attitude!"

Qin Jinjin was flustered and uneasy. She whispered, "Grandma, I'm a little scared!"

Madam Qin frowned, "What are you afraid of? How can a noble lady like our Qin family compare to that brazen woman? Although she is the daughter of Prince Li, she hasn't received a good upbringing since she was a child. How can she be qualified to be the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion?"

After hearing these words, Qin Jinjin suddenly felt more confident.

She nodded: "Thank you, grandma, for taking the trouble to take care of your granddaughter!"

Old Madam Qin felt that the time was almost up, so she ordered someone to invite Lin Yiwan in.

However, when the nanny saw Lin Yiwan sitting leisurely on the brocade stool, her expression suddenly turned unhappy.

She couldn't help but scold: "Madam Hou, you are too rude. Why are you sitting here while waiting for our old lady to summon you?"

Lin Yiwan was so angry that she almost laughed. This nanny from the Qin family was really ungrateful.

She respected the Qin family, but she would not tolerate them riding on her neck and shitting.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "Did the old lady misunderstand? I was invited here to see Old Madam Qin, so how did I end up waiting for her to summon me?"

The old lady's face flushed immediately, and she scolded stubbornly: "No matter what, your attitude is not sincere at all!"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "Okay, in that case, then please ask your Qin family to find someone else!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave quickly.

The old nanny was anxious and angry. She was used to being domineering and relied on the support of her master, so she twisted her strong body and went forward to pull Lin Yiwan.

She was still muttering in dissatisfaction: "Who allowed you to leave?"

Before her hand touched Lin Yiwan, a strong force suddenly kicked her in the lower back.

The severe pain hit her and she flew out immediately.

"Bang!" The old lady fell heavily to the ground.

She stared at me in disbelief and asked, "You bitch, how dare you kick me?"

Zi'er held the sword and scolded: "Who do you think you are? How dare you touch our Marquis's mistress?"

The old nanny immediately burst into tears and wailed, "Someone, come here! The mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so arrogant that she is bullying an old woman like me!"

Her voice was so loud that Qin Xuanshu and Qin Jinjin were immediately called out.

Qin Xuanshu's face looked extremely ugly, and when she looked at Lin Yiwan, her cold eyes were sharp.

She asked in a deep voice, "Madam Hou, what do you mean by this? You brought your maid to my Qin family's door?"
