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

The next day, when Xie Qingyu went to pay her respects to the Lady of the Marquis, she saw Qin Shenzhi and Gu Qinglian again.

The difficult part is that Qin Lingrong is also present this time.

Lady Hou brought up Gu Qinglian's marriage again.

Xie Qingyu sat to the side as usual, acting as if she didn't exist. Especially when Qin Lingrong was around, the Marquis's wife couldn't see the others.

"Although you only came to live with me in the last two years, I've watched you grow up. I've seen you grow from a tiny little dumpling into a graceful young woman, and you've reached the age to get married. But after thinking it over, I'm really worried that you won't be happy if you get married. I won't be able to face your mother in the afterlife," Lady Hou said earnestly, holding Gu Qinglian's hand.

She clearly didn't just say this to Xie Qingyu.

"You can keep me company while you're at the manor, and you can also keep your cousin-in-law company." Madam Hou said this while looking at Xie Qingyu, as if she wanted her to confirm.

Xie Qingyu pretended not to understand her meaning and replied naively, "Yes, with Sister Qinglian in the manor, I can at least have someone to talk to."

Lady Hou was very pleased to hear Xie Qingyu's words and patted Gu Qinglian's hand, saying, "Qinglian is indeed a good person, and also filial."

"What do you think, Ah Rong?" Lady Hou finally asked Qin Lingrong.

Qin Lingrong had been around a lot and understood the meaning behind such words very well.

His gaze swept over Gu Qinglian from head to toe.

Tsk.

Xie Qingyu's graceful figure is worse than most.

Qin Lingrong's mind was now filled with thoughts of Xie Qingyu's reaction tomorrow.

This was the first time they had played like this. He was initially hesitant, but after hearing the descriptions from those people yesterday, he was now looking forward to it.

Young ladies raised in seclusion would probably react much more strongly than women from respectable families.

Moreover, as her husband, he was able to manipulate her in this way, forcing her to endure it without daring to utter a word.

"Qinglian is still young. Let her spend more time with Mother before we consider this matter." Qin Lingrong didn't have time to deal with Qinglian's affairs right now, and refused the offer without even thinking about it.

Xie Qingyu watched as Gu Qinglian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Qin Lingrong's refusal.

something wrong.

Xie Qingyu thought about what happened yesterday, and recalled when she first came to this world to pay her respects. She could sense the malice Gu Qinglian showed her at that time, and she could feel that the malice came from her dissatisfaction with her.

Moreover, when Lady Hou secretly suggested that Gu Qinglian become Qin Lingrong's concubine, Gu Qinglian did not have any objection.

It's only been half a month.

Moreover, at that time, Gu Qinglian and Qin Shenzhi had no interaction. In fact, she sided with the Lady of the Marquis and openly looked down on Qin Shenzhi.

But a few days later, Gu Qinglian went to Qin Shenzhi's place alone.

Xie Qingyu then thought back to Gu Qinglian's overtures to Qin Shenzhi that she had encountered yesterday.

Xie Qingyu's gaze lingered on Gu Qinglian for a long time, trying to find the reason for this change. Unfortunately, she rarely had contact with Gu Qinglian on weekdays, only meeting her during greetings, and they didn't even exchange more than a few words, so she had no way of noticing it.

Suppressing her emotions, Xie Qingyu shifted her gaze from Gu Qinglian to Qin Shenzhi beside her.

Qin Shenzhi had been watching her the whole time, and his eyebrows twitched slightly when she looked over.

Qin Shenzhi had clearly seen Xie Qingyu staring at Gu Qinglian, and it was obvious that he was somewhat displeased.

Xie Qingyu wasn't sure if his current unhappiness stemmed from the fact that Madam Hou had brought up the matter of Gu Qinglian becoming a concubine, or from the fact that she had been staring at Gu Qinglian.

Regardless of which one it is, Qin Shenzhi is probably not in a good mood right now, otherwise he wouldn't dare to look her in the eye in front of the Lady Hou.

Fortunately, throughout the entire day, Lady Hou's gaze never lingered on Qin Shenzhi.

As Qin Lingrong left Madam Hou's place, he looked at Xie Qingyu with a half-smile and said, "Madam, don't forget about tomorrow. I will come to pick you up myself then."

Xie Qingyu paused, a forced smile appearing on her face, and instinctively wanted to turn around and seek Qin Shenzhi's help.

She had only turned her body slightly when someone steadied her lower back; it was Qin Shenzhi behind her, offering a reminder.

Xie Qingyu could only look stiffly at Qin Lingrong, "I will not forget, thank you for your trouble, my husband."

Qin Lingrong looked at Xie Qingyu's expression with amusement before turning and leaving.

Xie Qingyu looked at his figure; he was extremely thin and frail, and when he approached just now, Xie Qingyu seemed to smell the scent of Cold Food Powder.

Goodbye, sister-in-law.

Before Xie Qingyu noticed, the hand on her lower back had already been removed.

Qin Shenzhi smiled and said goodbye to Xie Qingyu, his face expressionless.

Gu Qinglian bowed in greeting and then followed behind Qin Shenzhi.

Watching Gu Qinglian's retreating figure, Xie Qingyu turned back to look at the Hou Madam's courtyard.

Gu Qinglian is now not even trying to avoid the eyes of the Lady Hou, and is following Qin Shenzhi right outside her courtyard.

It's so abnormal.

It doesn't look like someone who has lost both parents and lives here as a dependent, having to live at the mercy of the Lady Hou.

Xie Qingyu looked away, putting the matter aside for the time being and not bothering with it.

The day passed quickly.

Just as he said, Qin Lingrong came to Xie Qingyu's courtyard early the next morning to pick her up.

Seeing that Tingling and Hongdou were about to follow behind her, Qin Lingrong coughed lightly, "One maid is enough, it's not like we're going to a big occasion."

Qin Lingrong's words were not excessive.

Xie Qingyu glanced at it and told Tingling to stay home and guard the house.

Although Tingling was still somewhat unhappy, she understood that it was because Xie Qingyu valued her.

Originally, it was agreed that she would stay at home to keep watch, but recently there haven't been any capable young maids in the house.

She was just a little worried about her young lady going out with her husband, so she took the initiative to ask to come along as well.

Since someone has to stay, let her stay.

Hongdou went out with Xie Qingyu.

Qin Lingrong and Xie Qingyu got into a carriage.

As the carriage departed, Xie Qingyu slightly lifted a corner of the curtain and was relieved to see that, just as Qin Shenzhi had said, there were indeed two people arguing at the street corner.

Turning around, Qin Lingrong was sizing up Xie Qingyu.

Although they were husband and wife in name only, Qin Lingrong married Xie Qingyu because his father said he wanted him to marry a wife and that he could do whatever he wanted outside.

Only then did he marry her and treat her as a decoration.

He had never looked at Xie Qingyu closely before.

Taking this opportunity, he finally got a good look at Xie Qingyu.

There is indeed something.

Her figure is exceptionally good.

No wonder someone saw her once on the street and started to have designs on her.

He begged and pleaded with him to bring the person over.
