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

When Xie Qingyu returned to the General's Mansion, she saw Tingling looking aggrieved.

Upon hearing Xie Qingyu return, Tingling rushed forward eagerly, "Miss!"

Tingling looked Xie Qingyu up and down with a pitiful expression, trying to make sure she was alright.

"Why are you back so soon? Didn't I tell you to stay at the estate for a couple more days?" Xie Qingyu handed a handkerchief to Tingling so she could wipe away her tears.

“When I heard the Second Young Master send someone to inquire about the marriage while I was at the manor, I thought that if the Second Young Master got married, I wondered if the Marquis’s mansion would still be able to live peacefully, so I came back with them.” Tingling was still a little scared when she thought about it. “Who knew, who knew that as soon as we entered the city, we heard them say that Miss had hanged herself. I just couldn’t believe it.”

Tingling returned in the morning, but wasn't brought here until the evening.

During this time, she returned to the Hou Mansion courtyard and even saw the mourning hall prepared for Xie Qingyu.

She was so scared that her legs went weak.

Perhaps because she was crying so sadly, someone finally took it upon themselves to tell her the truth and then sent her to the general's mansion.

"Are you silly? How could your young lady be so foolish?" Xie Qingyu gently comforted her.

Fortunately, they had already returned to their room. Otherwise, if the people from the General's Mansion had seen them in the courtyard, they would have thought something had happened. The little maid was crying pitifully while hugging her mistress.

"I'm scared. I'm wondering if Miss sent me to the manor so she could get rid of me and then kill herself." Tingling was truly terrified.

She was sold into servitude to the Minister's mansion when she was young and followed Xie Qingyu. Although Xie Qingyu was not well received in the Minister's mansion, she herself was not a mistress who mistreated people.

Tingling felt that she was doing quite well.

If Xie Qingyu really passed away, she wouldn't know what the point of her life would be, or where she could go.

"I was thinking of letting you come back a few days later, and someone would naturally tell you the news then. Who knew you would come back early?" Xie Qingyu also felt a little guilty. This girl was genuinely heartbroken.

"It's good that Miss is alright." Tingling's emotions came and went quickly.

After Hongdou took Tingling downstairs to wash up and change into the uniform of a maid from the General's Mansion, the sadness on Tingling's face had completely disappeared, and she was even curiously looking at Xie Qingyu's living situation here.

“Miss, what’s wrong with you…” Tingling hesitated, wanting to speak but then stopped.

Logically, I knew it was inappropriate for a maid to ask such a question.

But as the person who has always been by Xie Qingyu's side, she is the one who should ask the most questions.

"How did you fake your death and get into the general's mansion under this identity?"

“My previous status wasn’t good, and living in the Marquis’s mansion would easily attract criticism,” Xie Qingyu said.

Tingling nodded in agreement, "Indeed, especially what Madam said last time, it was quite unpleasant."

Tingling was most afraid of Xie Weishi. When they were in the Minister's mansion, she controlled Xie Qingyu's food, clothing, housing and transportation. She was always smiling and kind. But after they returned home, they sometimes couldn't even get a hot meal.

So when Tingling heard what Xie Wei said last time, she also felt that it wouldn't be easy for Xie Qingyu to live in the Marquis's mansion as the widow of Qin Lingrong.

"This identity is fine as it is. I can do whatever I want." Xie Qingyu said in a relaxed tone. "Don't overthink it. Anyway, no matter where I go, you have to come with me."

Upon hearing Xie Qingyu's words, Tingling forgot all her other thoughts.

As long as Xie Qingyu takes her along, any identity is acceptable.

Hongdou stood silently by, watching as Tingling was so easily charmed by Xie Qingyu that she forgot to ask anything. Hongdou felt a little helpless.

It was obvious that Tingling wanted to ask how her mistress had managed to enter the General's Mansion with such a status.

But if the young lady coaxes her, she forgets everything.

Just like the second young master.

A few days passed in this way, and Tingling easily integrated into life in the General's Mansion. Mainly with Hongdou's help, Tingling returned to her former self.

But since she was in the general's mansion, she maintained a composed demeanor.

This arrangement was shattered the moment the palace sent someone to deliver Xie Qingyu her wedding dress.

Tingling followed Hongdou like a lost soul, looking at the wedding dress that had been delivered, and asked in a somewhat sleepwalking manner, "This wedding dress... is it for our young lady?"

Hongdou glanced at her and said, "This was sent from the palace. It was delivered to the general's mansion, and the general's wife immediately sent someone to deliver it here. Who else could it be for if not Miss?"

"No, wait a minute." Tingling reached out and grabbed Hongdou's clothes, standing in front of the door. "You want our young lady to get married?"

"Yes, that's exactly what you think." Hongdou said and quickly went inside.

The wedding dress was packed in a flat box, which was quite heavy. It must have been very tiring for her to stand at the door and talk while carrying it.

Seeing Hongdou being carried into the house, Tingling quickly followed.

"It arrived so quickly?" Xie Qingyu, who was inside the room, put down the book in her hand and looked at the open box that Hongdou had placed on the table.

"It was just delivered." Hongdou stepped back so Xie Qingyu could see the whole thing.

"The embroiderers in the palace are indeed skilled." Xie Qingyu looked at the exquisite wedding dress in the box. Whether it was the technique, the pattern, or the color matching, it was all exquisite.

“There are embroiderers waiting outside. Miss, try it on first. If there’s anything that doesn’t fit, they can make some alterations,” Hongdou said.

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyu didn't waste any time and immediately had them help her put on her wedding dress.

"So beautiful." Tingling straightened her clothes, took a step back, looked at Xie Qingyu, and murmured.

"Looks good?" Xie Qingyu asked, amused, looking at her like this.

Tingling exclaimed, "Beautiful! Especially beautiful, much more beautiful than the last one!"

She hadn't thought things through when Ling spoke, and only realized it after she said it. Seeing that Xie Qingyu's expression hadn't changed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really inappropriate to bring up things from the past at this time.

Hongdou earnestly told her to forget the past and never bring it up again.

She had just forgotten about it, and now she's bringing it up again.

Fortunately, Xie Qingyu didn't say anything to her, and Tingling secretly resolved never to talk about the past again.

"It fits perfectly." Xie Qingyu looked at herself in the bronze mirror, then looked down at herself. The wedding dress was very well made, and the size was just right. There was nothing that needed to be altered.

"Then let the embroiderers and the others go back first," Hongdou said.

"Don't forget the loose silver."

"Okay." Hongdou is reliable, and she can handle the rewards given by people from the palace just as well.

Tingling then helped Xie Qingyu change her clothes and neatly put them into the box.

"The embroiderer left a thread so that Miss can embroider a couple of stitches on it," Hongdou said after returning.

"I'll go get the needle," Tingling said eagerly.

By the time this matter was resolved, it was already time for Xie Qingyu to have dinner.

She went to bed early after eating.

Tingling returned to her room and lay down on the bed, but after a while she suddenly sat up.

"Wait a minute, who is Miss marrying?"
