Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

The items displayed in Xie Qingyu's room were all part of her dowry.

It's not that the items are bad; his father did a good job with the obvious aspects of these objects.

Aside from these pieces of furniture, there was nothing else in the room.

There were no paintings or calligraphy by famous artists, nor any screens displaying the superb skills of embroiderers; they were just some inanimate objects.

It seems Qin Shenzhi was aware of Xie Qingyu's situation at home, which is why he said that on purpose.

"It was my oversight. I was frightened today and didn't have time to thank the Second Young Master. I will definitely come to your door with a gift of thanks tomorrow." Xie Qingyu's attitude was sincere. If you ignored the slight tremor in her voice, you would not feel her fear at all.

However, Qin Shenzhi has always been very sensitive to changes in other people's emotions.

Xie Qingyu's behavior at this moment seemed to please him, making his voice sound cheerful as he spoke, but his words were not so pleasant, "You don't have time to thank me, but you have time to send account books to the Lady of the Marquis. Sister-in-law is really too heartbreaking."

Xie Qingyu's face turned even paler, and she withdrew her hand from the edge of the blanket, lowering her head and remaining silent, like a wronged quail.

Her appearance inexplicably irritated Qin Shenzhi. "Weren't you quite eloquent when you were with the Lady of the Marquis? You handed over the account books in just a few words."

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyu twitched her fingers under the covers. Qin Shenzhi's spies in the backyard had reached this level.

We already know what happened in the evening.

"Second Young Master, you should go back and rest early," Xie Qingyu finally couldn't help but say, urging him to leave.

Qin Shenzhi's gaze lingered on Xie Qingyu for a long time before finally shifting away. "Then I'll be waiting for my sister-in-law to come and thank me tomorrow."

Xie Qingyu now knew that Qin Shenzhi had entered through the window and left by climbing out the window as well.

They were speaking quite loudly inside the house, but the maid on night watch outside didn't utter a sound.

It must be one of Qin Shenzhi's men.

After watching Qin Shenzhi leave, Xie Qingyu lay down again.

In the dim light, I looked at the nail marks left on my palm from clenching my fist so tightly just now, as if I were acting.

Just now, as if by some strange twist of fate, after seeing Qin Shenzhi come out, Xie Qingyu immediately realized that he was most susceptible to playing the victim.

And her recent probing proved that.

Xie Qingyu determined the method for this strategy almost instantly.

Xie Qingyu hadn't expected Qin Shenzhi to come, but she knew he hadn't come here to discuss this matter.

Perhaps it refers to the fact that Qin Lingrong has a lover outside the marriage.

Qin Shenzhi is currently working to create chaos in the Marquis's mansion, and Xie Qingyu happens to be one of those who can achieve this.

I just don't know why he suddenly changed his mind and instead came up with such a high-sounding excuse as asking for a thank-you gift.

Xie Qingyu smiled and pretended not to know.

Qin Shenzhi must have suffered a deep trauma at the mansion, otherwise he wouldn't have grown up like this.

Xie Qingyu did not inquire about the mission progress; it should still be at 0 at the moment.

-------------------------------------

The next day.

Xie Qingyu didn't need to pay her respects to the Lady of the Marquis, and she didn't run into Qin Shenzhi and the others.

However, the courtyard did receive a rare guest.

Qin Lingrong has arrived.

Two months into their marriage, this was the first time Qin Lingrong had taken the initiative to come to Xie Qingyu's room in the backyard.

However, he didn't come with a friendly expression this time; in fact, he came with anger.

He hurried into the courtyard, and the two servants behind him almost had to run to keep up with him.

"Xie, come out here!" When Qin Lingrong's voice rang out in the courtyard, Xie Qingyu was still having breakfast in the house. She put down her chopsticks when she heard the voice.

Upon seeing this, Tingling immediately looked at Xie Qingyu in a panic.

Xie Qingyu slowly wiped her lips with a handkerchief before standing up, gesturing for Tingling to help her.

Seeing Xie Qingyu's calm demeanor, Tingling's heart seemed to settle down as well, and she quickly helped Xie Qingyu out.

"Husband, what's wrong? Have you had breakfast?" Xie Qingyu came out and looked at Qin Lingrong in the middle of the courtyard with slightly wide eyes, asking him with concern.

"Mind your own business. I'm asking you, what did you say to your mother?" Qin Lingrong said, somewhat irritably.

"I don't understand what my husband is saying. What did I say to my mother?" Xie Qingyu looked at Qin Lingrong with a puzzled expression.

Her appearance made Qin Lingrong even angrier.

If she hadn't said something, why would her mother have brought him the rouge shop's account book so early in the morning?

Qin Lingrong never expected that Xie Qingyu would even go so far as to complain about this.

"I usually chat with my mother when I'm taking care of her, but I don't know exactly what you mean by that, husband?" Xie Qingyu asked again when Qin Lingrong didn't speak.

"The ledger..." Qin Lingrong uttered three words before realizing what he was saying. Looking at the servants in the courtyard, he ultimately didn't finish his sentence.

Xie Qingyu knew that his questioning early in the morning must be about the account book, but she was also certain that he wouldn't dare to say it in public.

Taking possession without permission is one thing, but actually speaking out about it is another.

"Do you know that husband and wife are one?" Qin Lingrong couldn't say it, so he changed his question.

"I know," Xie Qingyu replied happily. "My husband and I are naturally one."

As she spoke, Xie Qingyu was about to stand next to Qin Lingrong.

Qin Lingrong was annoyed by Xie Qingyu's expression and was about to lash out when he heard Granny Lai's voice from outside the courtyard.

"Young Master, Madam wants you to go see her." Granny Lai's appearance saved the day.

Qin Lingrong turned back and gave Xie Qingyu a disgusted look before leaving with Granny Lai.

Tingling, being one of those involved, naturally knew that Qin Lingrong was referring to the account books. Somewhat worried, she asked in a low voice, "Miss, will it be alright?"

"Don't worry, Madam Hou still cares more about face than he does." Xie Qingyu watched Qin Lingrong leave before returning to her room.

Naturally, he lost his appetite and had the food removed.

It's unclear what Lady Hou said to Qin Lingrong, but in the afternoon, Lady Hou summoned Xie Qingyu over.

When Xie Qingyu arrived, she didn't see Qin Lingrong in the room, so she knew that the Lady of the Marquis wouldn't push Qin Lingrong out this time.

After exchanging greetings and taking her seat, Xie Qingyu remained silent, watching how the Lady of the Marquis would smooth things over.
