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

Xie Qingyu was unaware of the speculations made by Aunt Zhao and Aunt Xin.

Xie Qingyu was satisfied with getting what she wanted to know from Aunt Xin.

Just thinking about that scene made Xie Qingyu feel it was too cruel.

Even Tingling, who was following Xie Qingyu, didn't say a word the whole way after hearing it.

If a concubine could be beaten to death by the mistress for giving birth, what chance would a lowly maid like them have?

At this moment, Tingling suddenly realized that her young mistress had a good temperament; otherwise, she might have had to live such a life of constant anxiety.

Several maids in the Lady of the Marquis's courtyard have been executed in the past few days. If someone like her were in the Lady of the Marquis's courtyard, she would have been gone long ago.

"The second young master is quite pitiful too," Tingling finally managed to say after a long pause.

"Just keep everything you heard here to yourself, pretend you never heard it," Xie Qingyu instructed.

If it weren't for the fact that it was inconvenient to bring Hongdou along when asking this kind of question, she really wouldn't have wanted to bring Tingling along.

Those with a simple mind are easily tricked into revealing information.

"I understand, Miss. I've forgotten everything. Just pretend I didn't hear it." Tingling, now somewhat sensible after being trained, immediately assured him.

Xie Qingyu stopped talking and pondered Aunt Zhao's reaction.

Judging from the situation, Qin Shenzhi's relationship with these two concubines should be quite good, otherwise they wouldn't have called him "Brother Shen," which is usually a term of endearment used by elders in the family to address their children and grandchildren.

Moreover, according to Aunt Xin, Aunt Zhao almost never left her room, and judging from her appearance, she hardly ever moved around. She was pale and weak.

But today, assuming she was Qin Shenzhi's wife, she came over alone.

Having such feelings makes one feel a little more at ease.

At the very least, Qin Shenzhi wouldn't resort to extreme measures like wiping out the entire family when dealing with the Marquis and his wife, leaving some way out for the others in the inner courtyard.

Xie Qingyu had a relatively easy day.

Lady Hou did not return until the afternoon.

I heard that when Lady Hou returned today, she was in a very good mood and, unusually, did not lose her temper.

Because it was getting late, Xie Qingyu didn't go over there, but instead sent a maid to greet the Lady of the Marquis.

The next morning, Xie Qingyu washed up, had breakfast, and then went out.

Because of Qin Lingrong's accident, Xie Qingyu can no longer just stay in her own courtyard as before. During the day, she will go to the Lady of the Marquis's place to sit, as a way of checking in and proving that she is still worried about Qin Lingrong.

Gu Qinglian has been staying by the Lady of the Marquis's side during this time.

There was no other way; she was living under someone else's roof and had to learn to read people's expressions.

Although she was unwilling, she still had to rely on the Lady of the Marquis for her livelihood.

When Xie Qingyu arrived, Gu Qinglian was already with the Lady of the Marquis, and it seemed she was having breakfast with her.

"Mother," Xie Qingyu bowed, then asked anxiously, "I wonder what my maternal grandfather said? When will my husband be able to come home?"

"What kind of behavior is this, rushing around in such a hurry?" Lady Hou reprimanded calmly.

Xie Qingyu paused, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face. "Yes."

It seems that Lady Hou's trip was very effective. She was the one who was most anxious before, but now she even has time to find fault with Xie Qingyu. She is probably more confident than before.

"Alright, I know you're worried about Rong-ge'er, but he's already married, unlike when he was a young girl. Especially now that you've married Rong-ge'er, you represent the Marquis's mansion when you go out." The Marquis's wife was good at giving a slap and then a sweet treat.

"As long as your maternal grandfather intervenes, Rong-ge'er will be back in less than two days. Just wait and see, he still loves Rong-ge'er." Lady Hou's face showed joy.

"That's wonderful! I never imagined my grandfather was so amazing," Xie Qingyu exclaimed.

"There's a lot you don't know. Your maternal grandfather took action..." The Lady Hou didn't finish her sentence, but she couldn't hide the smugness on her face.

In the early years, when Rong-ge'er caused trouble, she usually didn't dare to tell her father, for fear that he would be too strict.

I'm also afraid he won't like Rong-ge'er.

The old man had mentored countless students throughout his life, each one exceptionally intelligent. Having seen so many of them, he always felt that Qin Lingrong was lacking.

Lady Hou could not accept her father's evaluation of her child.

So she didn't talk to him much, and even helped Qin Lingrong cover it up.

This time, she was truly out of options, so she thought of asking for help.

Lady Hou felt a little smug. The Marquis couldn't even save his own son and had to rely on her father. This was enough to make her stand tall in front of the Marquis for a long time.

Just like when the young Marquis wanted to rely on her father's power, he had no choice but to please her.

No matter how much he liked a concubine, he could deal with her immediately if she caused trouble a few times.

Aside from... Lady Hou's eyes flashed with displeasure. Aside from that cunning woman, who had given birth to a boy, but in the end, she was dealt with.

As long as her father is alive, she has someone to rely on.

"Then we must quickly arrange for the maids to clean it up, and also prepare a brazier so that my husband can get rid of the bad luck when he comes back." Xie Qingyu's face was full of joy.

"It's inconvenient for you to go to the front yard either. Rong-ge'er has already arranged for someone to clean it, so you don't need to worry about it. Just let Qinglian go and take a look when she has time." Madam Hou glanced at Xie Qingyu with disdain, seemingly somewhat displeased.

Xie Qingyu understood that this was because Madam Hou felt that Qin Lingrong was about to return, and her heart was at ease. She belatedly realized that Qin Lingrong's arrest was related to taking her to burn incense, and she took her anger out on him.

Xie Qingyu wasn't the type to rush into work; cleaning was just something she mentioned casually.

The Lady Hou forbade her to go, which made her quite happy.

Gu Qinglian, however, was probably not so happy, but when she saw the Lady of the Marquis looking at her, she still smiled and agreed.

Xie Qingyu saw both of their expressions but remained silent.

The agreed-upon two days.

During this time, Qin Shenzhi did not return, and Xie Qingyu could ask him if Qin Lingrong was really able to come out.

However, she wasn't too panicked. Even if Qin Lingrong could come back, she would naturally have a way to deal with it.

However, she felt that the chances of Qin Lingrong returning were not very high.

Qin Shenzhi deliberately said those words to lure out Prime Minister Wang, so why would he release the person so easily?

Just as Xie Qingyu had thought.

The household had prepared for two days, waiting for Qin Lingrong to return.

However, two days passed in the blink of an eye, and there was still no news. In fact, neither the Marquis nor Qin Shenzhi had returned in these two days, and the Marquis's wife could not even ask anyone for information.

But it wasn't appropriate to immediately ask her father.

Two more days passed, but Qin Lingrong still hadn't returned.

Just when Lady Hou could no longer sit still, Qin Shenzhi returned.
