Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 425

Jiang Yue brought a letter, telling Qin Sui to be careful, as Princess Huaye had "come out of confinement".

Previously, Princess Huaye was implicated in the Du family, and was tricked by the Ninth Prince and the Young Prince. Losing a set of cups was a small matter, but losing face was a big deal.

Those officials who firmly followed the Du family smelled a hint of something unusual and their thoughts became unclear.

Old Master Du was dissatisfied with this and hinted to Du Ziren's mother to discipline her daughter-in-law.

Du Ziren's mother actually knew that Hua Ye was just a fuse, but after all, she was the one who started it, so she had to give an explanation to the Du family.

But Du's mother did not want to offend Hua Ye. This girl was usually nice, but her temper was a little crooked. Once she was irritated, she would not give anyone face.

After thinking it over, he came up with a plan. He went directly to the palace to ask for the Empress Dowager's oral order to have Huaye confined to her house for two months, so that she would learn her lesson and temper herself.

In this way, Du's mother can still ask about Huaye's well-being and take good care of him while he is under house arrest. Not only will Huaye not hate Du's mother, but she will be particularly grateful to her as her mother-in-law.

Princess Huaye will not vent her anger on the Du family, but she has to find an outlet, otherwise she will go crazy. Therefore, Huaye will definitely cause trouble for Qin Sui.

Sure enough, Huaye went back to her parents' home the next day after the ban was lifted and had a big fight with her father, saying that she had to vent her anger.

The letter mentioned the marriage again, and seemed to be urging it. It seemed that Jiang Yue was anxious.

Princess Huaye learned her lesson this time and actually brought a group of noble ladies to the house.

"Hurry up and ask your manager to come out to receive the guests. He has no sense of propriety. How can he do his job? I think this incense shop is just like this, but it is praised as so good. I don't know if they paid people to do this."

The woman next to Hua Ye raised her chin and covered her lips and nose with a round fan embroidered with a lotus pond in the mist and rain, looking very arrogant.

After the old incense shop reopened, business was neither good nor bad, so Lu Xiangyin was put in charge. Qin Cui would also come from time to time and check on the warehouse.

When Lu Xiangyin heard the clerk's report, he was shocked. Knowing that the visitor had ill intentions, he hurriedly asked someone to inform Qin Sui.

After giving the instructions, he tidied his clothes and accessories before going downstairs.

The customers who were originally selecting spices were stopped aside by the servants of Huaye's group. Some wanted to leave because they were afraid of accidents, but they couldn't squeeze out and could only worry anxiously.

Others didn't care. Since they couldn't leave anyway, they just came to watch the fun.

This shop had been vacant for a long time before, causing a lot of jokes. Those who had lived in the capital for a long time had visited here and naturally knew that Princess Huaye had abused her power to bully others, beat, smashed and burned other people's shops, but she was only confined for two months. Now, she is back again, and brought so many noble ladies with her. It seems that she is not going to let it go peacefully.

Lu Xiangyin walked quickly up to the front, saluted with his fist clasped, and was polite but not humble. He spoke with a Beijing accent. In addition, he had never had to worry about food and clothing since he was a child, and he had an air of wealth and nobility. Compared with the average shopkeeper, he was several levels more elegant.

In addition, he was a young man with average looks. He was standing in front of a group of female relatives, smiling and asking everyone if they needed anything. He seemed not to know Princess Huaye.

Hua Ye walked to the reception area and sat down. He looked at Lu Xiangyin coldly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you? Where is Ma Hui? Where is Qin Sui?"

"I'm Lu Xiangyin, the chief steward here. If you have anything to ask, just tell me. For ordinary matters, I can still handle them at my discretion. If the case of the guest is really special, I will report it to the boss to handle it." "Humph, who do you think you are to talk to me? Go, call your master. I really want to meet this powerful Qin Su. Is she really so powerful that she can make me fall?"

Several other women also followed suit and shouted that they wanted to meet the boss.

As long as she doesn't smash things, hurt innocent people, or harm the weak, even if she affects the business of the store, in fact, no one can do anything to Princess Huaye.

A round-faced noblewoman tried to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "Manager Lu, you should call your boss over. We are not here to cause trouble today, but we have something important to discuss with your boss, and it is a good thing. This matter will only benefit her and will not cause any harm, so don't worry!"

Princess Huaye snorted coldly and said, "You are the only good person who talks too much, humph!"

The round-faced young woman giggled but did not refute. Hua Ye also only appeared angry on the surface but was not actually dissatisfied.

Even the nervous Lu Xiangyin couldn't understand why these people came. Was it really some business or important matter they wanted to discuss?
Just as he finished speaking, a few people walked in. The ones in front were Qin Cui and Lu Jiu. It was obvious that they didn't know what was going on in the shop, so they were stunned.

Lu Xiangyin knew at a glance that the person sent to deliver the letter had strayed from Qin Sui.

He walked over quickly, trying to fool Qin Sui and Lu Jiu into leaving first. He would tell them the whole story and then decide what to do.

The dozen or so noble ladies opposite were also stunned, just because the two men were too good-looking. It was okay for women, there were many beautiful girls in the capital, especially the ladies in the palace, who were all stunningly beautiful.

But it is rare for a man to be so handsome, and everyone's eyes could not help but be fixed on Lu Jiu.

You know, this is the man Princess Lian Yaoxiang has decided to marry, how can they look away?

Lu Jiu had previously returned to Dancheng to discuss marriage with his parents, and now they have finally reached a conclusion. To show his sincerity, Lu Jiu came to the capital in person, and Lu Jiu's parents will also come to the capital in person to propose marriage later.

Even if you have climbed up a high branch, you still have to observe proper etiquette.

Lu Jiu just arrived last night. Today he came with Qin Sui to inspect the store and pick up some things to go to the Ninth Prince's Palace.

But when I encountered this situation, I couldn't react for a while.

"Master Jiu, Madam Er, why are you here?" Lu Xiangyin was very polite, as if she was entertaining guests, but her eyes moved quickly and she mouthed, "Princess Huaye is here."

Qin Sui's eyebrows moved slightly as she looked at the gorgeously dressed woman in the middle.

She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, showing her wealth. She wore a gilded phoenix hairpin on her head with a white pearl in its mouth. The phoenix wings were inlaid with colorful gems. Her face was covered with lead powder, rouge, and red lipstick, which made her skin look whiter and her cheeks more rosy.

Hua Ye could not be said to be beautiful. If she wore coarse linen clothes, she would look like a woman in the alley, only slightly pretty!
The pampered and dignified life did not bring her much peace, but instead she felt unhappy everywhere. All these were reflected in her face, which looked a little mean and sarcastic.

Qin Sui whispered to Lu Jiu, "Go get the things and leave. I'll take care of things here. You don't have to get involved in the affairs between us women."

Lu Jiu pondered for a moment and agreed to go get the things first.

Qin Sui walked towards Princess Huaye, bowed, stood up straight, and then introduced herself with a smile: "Hello, distinguished guests. I am Qixiang's host. My husband's surname is Xiao, and I am the second child."
