Chapter Thirty-One: Return, Temptation
Prince Cheng was in a bad mood because of the Wuse Mountain Tea. After learning that the thief from last night was actually coming for the Poison Mountain Tea, his face became even more ugly.
Qin Shu is going back to the Qin family today. After all, she is a girl from the Qin family, so there is no reason to live in someone else's house: "Auntie, the mastermind behind the scenes has not been found yet. You and Brother Hao must be careful during this period."
Princess Guan patted the back of her hand: "Don't worry, I haven't been through for so many years. It would be fine if the person behind the scenes didn't take action. Since he had already taken action and was noticed, it would not be so easy to do something. But you, your stepmother and sister were embarrassed at the flower viewing banquet, and they might take their anger on you."
Princess Guan no longer has any hope for the character of the Qin family.
Qin Shu smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously: "I know what to do, aunt, I went back first. A little gift was left in the room, and it was noted no matter how you use it. I hope I can help."
A look of gratitude flashed in Princess Guan's eyes and nodded slightly: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Qin Shu was actually worried, especially after what happened last night, the masked man's meaningful look remained in her heart before leaving, as if he was like a curse and could not get rid of it.
Princess Guan arranged for guards to escort Qin Shu back to the mansion, on the one hand, for her safety, and on the other hand, to shock the Qin family, saying that there is still someone behind Qin Shu, so don’t think she is really an orphan who has no support.
At this time, the Qin family was in full swing. Luo looked at the wife who was a servant who was a servant, but had a demeanor that was comparable to that of an ordinary wealthy family, and could not hide his surprise: "Let our girl choose it for herself?"
The person who was sent to convey the news was the confidant around the old lady Fan. He nodded with a reserved look when he heard this: "Yes, our old lady, the master and the wife are all very satisfied with the girls in the house, but there are two young men of the right age. Since marriage is a good match for two families, why not ask the girl what she meant." He did not mention the incident caused by the Gu family because of a dispute over a marriage, and even the sudden poisoning incident of the Gu family.
Luo was a little surprised and puzzled. It would be fine if Mr. Gu Qi was just a short-lived ghost. But Mr. Gu Wu was the candidate for a son-in-law who was eager to see many people. How could he be so concerned about this marriage?
What kind of virtue does Qin Shu have? How can she match such an excellent man? In the future, her status is higher than Qin Qing. How can she handle herself by calling Qin Qing?
Therefore, Luo spoke without hesitation: "If you want me to tell me, it's still the Seventh Master..." Before he finished speaking, the maids suddenly heard the maids' greetings, and then Qin Qing picked up the curtain and walked in.
"Mother!" Qin Qing's face was a little flushed, as if she was walking anxiously, and she was slightly panting: "I heard that someone from the Gu family came?"
Luo's face was a little bad: "What do you think is rash and sloppy?" Especially in front of outsiders, her daughter is already at the age of being a kiss, and a little bit of rumors will ruin her reputation!
The wife of the Gu family lowered her head slightly and pretended that she had seen nothing but heard. The eyes under her nose turned slightly. Could this be the girl from the Qin family? After hearing the news that the Gu family came here, she rushed over so quickly. It seemed that she valued this marriage very much!
Qin Qing then noticed the wife in charge sitting down and dressed up on her body. Her face turned hot and her face turned hot: "Mother, isn't she urgent to find you? It's really rude to not notice that there are guests here."
The wife in charge smiled and said, "Miss is serious. The meaning of our master in the house has been conveyed. I am not going to stay for a long time and I am about to say goodbye!" After saying that, she looked at Luo with a serious look on her face: "Madam, our Gu family is still waiting for news about this matter. I hope that the wife will hurry up and give a reply as soon as possible."
Luo nodded repeatedly. The Gu family only sent a wife in charge to convey this matter. It was obvious that they did not take the Qin family seriously. If Qin Zhengyang was there, he would definitely feel insulted and furious. However, Luo family was different. She felt that it would be normal for a family like the Gu family to have such a behavior. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss of her own value? Therefore, she did not think that what she said to a wife in charge for so long would damage her identity.
Qin Qing watched the Gu family leave and immediately grabbed Luo's sleeve with an anxious look on his face: "Mother, what did the Gu family send someone to do?"
Luo never hides anything from this daughter: "Qin Shu has really lost his luck, so he actually asked her to choose among the two young masters. He asked me to marry her to the sick son of Gu Qi. What kind of decent wife can such a short-lived ghost marry? After Qin Shu got married, the Gu family should not be grateful to the Qin family? Besides, although he is a person who cannot live long, he is the legitimate son. For this only legitimate son, the Gu family must be better to the Qin family.
"What?" Qin Qing exclaimed when she heard this. Her fingers subconsciously used force, and her long nails pierced Luo's skin, and her voice changed: "Mother, do you want to marry Qin Shu to Mr. Gu Qi?"
Luo Shi shivered suddenly and pulled out his hand: "What are you crazy about? Look, it's all broken! Don't you hate Qin Shu the most? Letting her marry a short-lived ghost like this is not just for you to vent your anger!"
That was the past, but after she saw Mr. Gu Qi with her own eyes, her fairy-like appearance and gentle temperament, her whole heart was almost left on the other party. That was the god in her heart, how could she give it to Qin Shu?
Qin Qing gritted her teeth hard and grabbed Luo's hand with both hands: "Mother, I want to represent the Qin family in marriage!"
Why can Qin Shu marry Mr. Gu Qi? Isn’t it because she is willing to marry the Gu family? Since that’s the case, as long as she stole the opportunity to marry the marriage, she will be the one who marrys the fairy prince!
"What did you say?" Luo's shock was extraordinary and grabbed his daughter's hand: "Why are you talking nonsense? What a good thing you think of marriage? I didn't want to go there before..." Speaking of this, Luo's heart suddenly flashed with a light, and he looked at his daughter suspiciously: "Did you have someone in your heart?"
Qin Qing's face suddenly seemed to be on fire. She lowered her head and played with the corner of her clothes, but she refused to speak.
Seeing her daughter like this, Luo didn't understand anything. It was clearly a big heart-warming move! She immediately gasped and frowned: "Explain it clearly to me, who is he?" Qin Qing had only a few men, who would she have a good impression of?
Thinking of Qin Qing suddenly changed her mind and was willing to marry the Gu family on his own initiative, Luo immediately understood a little. Looking at his daughter's bright red face and shy expression, he calmed down and guessed: "You shouldn't be the son of the Gu family..."
Qin Qing immediately covered her face with her hands and stomped her feet hard: "Mother! Since you have guessed, why do you still have to say it? My daughter ignores you!" After that, she turned around shyly and walked out quickly.
Luo looked at his daughter running away shyly and sighed. If a woman is old or not, she will be revenge! Forget it, Mr. Gu Wu is indeed an excellent choice. His wife will be the mistress of the Gu family in the future. Her daughter has a good vision! I will send a reply to the Gu family later and decide Mr. Gu Wu!
Luo thought Qin Qing was full of love for Mr. Gu Wu from the famous capital. She never expected that her proud daughter would fall in love with a patient who was not long ago. Because of shyness, Qin Qing did not say bluntly who she liked. She only thought that her mother had already decided to marry Mr. Gu Qi with the Gu family. As long as she agreed to marry her, the marriage would be a foregone conclusion.
"Madam, the eldest girl is back!" After seeing Qin Qing leave, Madam Song picked up a curtain and reported: "It was the guards of Prince Cheng's Mansion escorted back, and brought back a lot of things."
The expression on Luo's face was instantly distorted.
When the Gu family's wife left, she happened to pass by Qin Shu and her group. When she saw a young but graceful girl walking over with her maid and maid, she couldn't help but look back and ask the mother who guided her: "Who is that girl?"
The woman looked a little strange on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she said vaguely: "It's the big girl in the house."
The eldest girl of the Qin family? The wife in charge of the affairs was surprised. Isn’t that the one who is optimistic about his master and wife? The one who just passed by was the eldest girl, so the one who ran to find Mrs. Luo at that time was actually the second girl who was born by Mrs. Luo?
"Why does the big girl in your house look like she has been back after traveling a long distance?" The wife of the manager was careful and sensitively noticed the strangeness of the big girl in the Qin family.
In addition to a team of guards from the Prince Cheng’s Mansion who escorted Qin Shu back, Princess Guan also plundered a lot of things to bring to her, loading two carriages full of them, and didn’t look like she was returning from home.
The woman didn't say anything anymore, just lowered her head and led the way forward, looking as if she was secretive.
The wife in charge became more and more curious, and a piece of silver slut was stuffed into the hands of the old lady: "Old sister, our Gu family plans to marry the Qin family this time. To be honest, this big girl is likely to be a young lady in our Gu family in the future. I want to know more about the big girl, so I will be more familiar with each other in the future, right?"
The old lady said at that time that the girl had already caused disagreement between the master and the wife before she entered the door. Although the fifth and seventh princess had no words, the matter of fighting for a wife together could not be changed. She would not have any trouble in the future. She decided to ask someone to check the background of the Qin girl to see if she was suitable for being the wife of the Gu family.
If she finds out clearly, she will go back and tell the old lady to listen to, and maybe she can move upwards by herself. (To be continued)
