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

The lack of news was a good thing for Xie Qingyu.

At the very least, if this matter is exposed again after today, no one will associate it with her anymore.

They got through the night without any real danger, and it wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that news of Qin Lingrong's accident came.

When Xie Qingyu was summoned by the Lady of the Marquis, Gu Qinglian was already there.

"Yesterday you went out with Rong-ge'er, what did Rong-ge'er say to you? Why didn't you bring him back with you?" The Lady Hou was so angry that she lost her mind and asked this question.

Granny Lai, who was beside her, stepped forward to help her.

"The Marquis has already inquired, so please don't worry too much, Madam. Your health is the most important thing," Granny Lai comforted her.

"What's wrong with my husband?" Xie Qingyu asked in a panic.

Lady Hou was in no mood to explain to her, especially since the news she received wasn't good.

Lady Hou was furious. She had thought he had cut ties with those things. These days he rarely went to brothels and usually just hung out with those idle young masters, spending money as he pleased. Lady Hou had always thought that everything was peaceful.

Who would have thought, who would have thought, that they would go even further and do such a thing.

Lady Hou had no idea how her Rong-ge'er would ever be able to face anyone again if this matter got out.

“My cousin has been arrested and imprisoned, and he’s probably not doing well right now,” Gu Qinglian said quietly from the side, her eyes filled with disgust.

Lady Hou was heartbroken and did not notice her gaze.

The only one I saw was Xie Qingyu.

That strange feeling came back again.

Gu Qinglian should not know the reason for Qin Lingrong's arrest.

Xie Qingyu suppressed her doubts and pretended to be at a loss. "What happened? My husband is weak and would never do anything to bully others. How did he end up in jail? There must be some misunderstanding."

"If you can't speak properly, then shut up!" Lady Hou snapped.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyu shut her mouth like a quail and stopped talking. For a moment, the only sound in the room was the Hou Madam's panting.

"Aunt, please don't be too anxious. Send someone to wait at the Marquis's place and see if we can invite him over when he returns, and see if things can turn around." Although Gu Qinglian looked unwilling, she still comforted the Marquis's wife.

"We've already sent people to inquire," said Madam Hou, holding Gu Qinglian's hand as if to comfort her.

"I've only heard that conditions in prison are harsh, and there aren't even blankets at night. If the Marquis can't get your cousin out today, what will happen tonight?" The Marquis's wife was most worried about Qin Lingrong suffering in prison, but she wasn't too concerned about his release.

After all, the Marquis of Zhongyong is still here, and he has not committed the crime of deceiving his superiors, so he will not stay in prison forever.

Let's just look at how long this matter will take to resolve.

After all, it involves the young masters of several families, so some things are bound to be delayed.

“That’s easy,” Gu Qinglian said. “My second cousin works in the Imperial Guard. Although he’s just a small fry and can’t do much, at least he can let us send some things in so that my eldest cousin won’t suffer.”

"You've thought of everything." The Lady of the Marquis's eyes lit up immediately.

"Go and prepare quickly, get all the bedding and clothes ready for Rong-ge'er," the Lady Hou instructed her head maid.

Having received her instructions, the maid turned and walked outside.

"This..." Lady Hou hesitated between Gu Qinglian and Xie Qingyu for a moment, "Aunt, why don't you let me deliver it?"

Gu Qinglian doesn't want to miss any opportunity to get close to Qin Shenzhi, especially an open and aboveboard opportunity.

“Good boy, I know you mean well, but it’s best to let your cousin-in-law deliver it, after all, they are husband and wife.” Madam Hou had her own considerations.

"Then let me go and deliver it. I won't feel at ease unless I see with my own eyes how my husband is doing in prison," Xie Qingyu said, her face full of worry.

Hearing this, Madam Hou reluctantly looked at her more pleasingly. "Then you should hurry back and prepare some comfortable clothes, and send them to Rong-ge'er as soon as possible."

"Then I'll take my leave." Xie Qingyu quickly left the Hou Madam's courtyard.

Along the way, they encountered some maids who looked hurried, probably rushing to prepare things for Qin Lingrong.

Xie Qingyu went back to her room and changed into a clean and neat set of clothes. There were no extra strips of fabric to cut, and the clothes perfectly suited her figure. Her hair was also tied up, giving her a more capable and efficient look.

Even Hongdou, who followed her, changed into this outfit.

When Xie Qingyu returned to the Lady Hou's place, she was utterly astonished by the things in the courtyard.

It was so full that even a large horse-drawn carriage couldn't hold it all.

Regardless of how long Qin Lingrong will stay there, they certainly won't allow these things in.

There's so much of it, it's like moving cargo.

“Madam, isn’t this a bit too much?” Granny Lai said, looking at the room.

“These are all things Rong-ge’er would use at home. There’s not much more. There are still many things we didn’t bring.” The Lady Hou was so worried about her son that she had lost the ability to think normally.

“Mother,” Xie Qingyu stepped forward, “These things are indeed not much, and we can use them normally, but now that my husband is in prison, it’s not good to be too extravagant. It would be bad if someone had a handle against us. Besides, my husband will only stay in there for one night at most and will be back tomorrow. If we bring so many things, it would be as if we are hoping that he will stay in there for a few more days.”

Although Xie Qingyu's words displeased the Lady of the Marquis, she was indeed persuaded to stay silent.

"That's true, it's just for one night, just bring some bedding." Lady Hou told them to decide for themselves.

The Marquis of the front courtyard has returned. She couldn't wait to find out what was going on and also told Xie Qingyu to hurry to the prison. She had already sent someone to find Qin Shenzhi and ask him to take Xie Qingyu in.

Lady Hou is still unaware that it was Qin Shenzhi who arrested Qin Lingrong; otherwise, she wouldn't have sought his help.

Xie Qingyu carried only a thin blanket and some small, easily portable items, and rode in a carriage straight to the prison.

Qin Shenzhi had indeed received the news well in advance; Xie Qingyu saw him waiting at the door as soon as she got out of the car.

The prison was built in the west of the city, and there were few and no houses or activity around it, which matched the desolate scene outside the prison.

Xie Qingyu got out of the car, followed by Hongdou carrying some things.

Qin Shen stepped forward and took the package from Hongdou's hands. "Only one person can go in. Come with me."

The Imperial Guards at the entrance didn't even glance at Xie Qingyu. With Qin Shenzhi leading the way, there was no questioning as Xie Qingyu had imagined.

The prison was gloomy, with only faint lights on the walls on both sides, making it impossible to see the sun.

"Sister-in-law cares so much about my brother, she couldn't wait to bring him these things," Qin Shenzhi said softly as he walked beside Xie Qingyu.

Qin Shenzhi's voice was somewhat cold.

We should have let her in to see what was inside, and see if she could still make it to deliver the item!
