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

"This place will soon no longer be the Marquis's residence, but my own. You will live here and have an identity that will leave others speechless," Qin Shenzhi said slowly.

"Be my wife." As Qin Shenzhi's voice fell, he reached out and grasped Xie Qingyu's shoulders, not giving her a chance to escape.

Once he had thought it through, he wouldn't allow Xie Qingyu to run away.

Qin Shenzhi knew Xie Qingyu's personality all too well.

Perhaps because he lost his mother at a young age, he was afraid of being told that he was ill-mannered.

She always presents a dignified image in public, and even when she's putting on a brave face, she never loses her composure in public.

Qin Shenzhi was so nervous today because of Xie Weishi's presence because he knew her personality. If Xie Weishi talked to her about women's upbringing, she might actually agree to go to a nunnery.

So now he needs to force Xie Qingyu to make a decision quickly, without giving her time to think.

"What do you think, sister-in-law? This way, I can live here openly and without anyone interfering with what you do," Qin Shenzhi coaxed patiently.

"And this is not only for your own good, but also for my own good. Sister-in-law, just consider it as helping me."

The hesitation on Xie Qingyu's face faded, replaced by a hint of doubt, "How can I help you?"

Qin Shenzhi's lips curved into a smile, then immediately returned to normal.

His voice was calm. "With Prime Minister Wang gone and the Marquis's mansion destroyed, I'll be even more in the spotlight at court. I'm the Emperor's man, and everyone wants to win me over. But if I were to marry someone else, the Emperor wouldn't feel at ease..."

"No." Xie Qingyu suddenly refused, probably having just realized that this wasn't a matter of whether or not to help.

Seeing that she had realized what was happening, Qin Shenzhi didn't panic. Instead, he continued, "If you marry me, sister-in-law, there won't be any other people in the family, and you won't have to worry about your spouse being unfaithful..."

“I am your sister-in-law,” Xie Qingyu suddenly said.

Qin Shenzhi was secretly delighted.

That was all she was worried about.

It's not that she didn't want to marry him.

Qin Shenzhi's gaze was intense, as if he saw something he had always longed for in Xie Qingyu's face.

"So what?" Qin Shenzhi's voice was filled with unprecedented contempt.

It was a contempt for his status. If he cared about such things, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to send the people of the Marquis's mansion to the execution ground.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was already a patricide.

Ethics could never constrain him.

"That doesn't make sense!" Xie Qingyu suddenly said. "Go back first, let me think about it."

“If my sister-in-law can’t marry me just because of my status, I have another way,” Qin Shen said, taking a step back.

Xie Qingyu was completely confused at this moment, and when she heard him say this, she couldn't help but look at him with a questioning gaze.

Just by looking into her eyes, Qin Shenzhi felt his chances of winning had increased by half.

I knew that if I had been straightforward, she would have had reservations.

Qin Shenzhi's original plan was to first present her with conditions she could never agree to, thus making her object, and then offer another alternative.

“If it’s a matter of identity, then it’s not a problem. I have a friend who just returned from the frontier. His daughter died on the way to the capital. As for your current identity, it’s inevitable that people will gossip in the Marquis’s mansion. A nunnery is not a place for you to stay. If your sister-in-law were to die of shame and indignation because of the Marquis’s mansion… then people would not be able to say anything bad about you. Instead, they would only be able to praise your integrity.”

As Qin Shenzhi finished speaking, Xie Qingyu's eyes flickered, clearly showing that she was tempted.

"And..." Qin Shenzhi threw out one last temptation, "You won't have to live with the identity of the eldest daughter of the Xie family anymore. You can be a woman who has returned from the frontier, and no one will say anything if you want to do whatever you want."

After Qin Shenzhi finished speaking, he looked at Xie Qingyu's expression and bet that Xie Qingyu would be moved.

The story of his friend losing his daughter was not fabricated. When Qin Shenzhi first heard about it, a vague feeling of unease flashed through his mind. Now, it seems to be the perfect time to bring it up.

"Would they be willing to do that?" Xie Qingyu had already been led astray by Qin Shenzhi's train of thought.

"They returned to the capital to report on their duties, and will soon return to the frontier. This time they came back also to find a husband for their daughter. Firstly, she is of marriageable age, and secondly, the emperor needs them to leave one of them in the capital as leverage."

What Qin Shenzhi said was all true.

"So you don't need to have any worries." Qin Shenzhi stroked Xie Qingyu's head. "Leave everything to me."

Xie Qingyu finally looked up at Qin Shenzhi, her teeth biting her lower lip, her gaze still somewhat hesitant. Seeing her full lips being bitten until they lost their color, Qin Shenzhi's Adam's apple bobbed, forcing himself to look away from her.

"Just say yes." Qin Shenzhi was very close at this moment, but there was no sense of oppression.

"..."

"it is good."

In that instant, the snow melted away, tender green grass peeked out at the vast sky and earth, and the swallows, who had never seen the sun, finally flew back to build their nests and raise their families.

After Xie Qingyu finished speaking, she didn't hear Qin Shenzhi's reply for a long time. She waved her hand in front of his eyes to bring him back to his attention.

Qin Shenzhi couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, and Xie Qingyu had never seen such obvious joy in him before.

"I'll go out for a bit. What would you like to eat today? I'll have someone bring it over. We're short-handed right now, so I'll make the purchases after the executions are over. Please bear with it for a while," Qin Shenzhi said quickly.

"It's nothing, it's good that there are fewer people." Xie Qingyu shook her head.

"Hmm." Qin Shenzhi didn't dwell on the matter; he had more important things to do now.

Watching Qin Shenzhi leave, Xie Qingyu stood there for a while before letting Tingling and Hongdou in and giving them some tasks.

Ling listened with delight to Xie Qingyu's arrangements and happily went out with Hongdou.

"That's wonderful," Ling exclaimed.

Hongdou looked at her with some surprise, then smiled. Sure enough, she had grown up. "It's pretty good."

Xie Qingyu was a good mistress to those who served as maids.

The second young master was also very happy.

"Right? The second young master is such a good person. He actually confronted the madam directly and is very willing to let Miss stay in the Marquis's mansion. We won't have to worry about it anymore. That's wonderful." Tingling's face showed genuine joy.

red beans:......

I'm really looking forward to hearing the truth from the spirits.

Hongdou had never seen such an innocent maid before.

Her reaction must be very interesting.

Tingling knew that Xie Qingyu and Qin Shenzhi's relationship might take some time, and she was even the last to know about Xie Qingyu's 'death'.

Fearing that telling her would expose her, Xie Qingyu found an excuse to send Tingling to the estate to see if Aunt Zhao and the others needed anything.

By the time she returned, the whole capital was already buzzing with the news that Xie Qingyu had died.
