Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 465

Qin Sui closed her eyes and continued to play, the familiar past events coming to her mind vividly.

Grandma Qiao stood quietly for a while, then turned and left.

Walking to the front yard, she thought for a moment and came to the gate, saying coldly to the gatekeeper: "Go and tell the young master that this lady is not right today."

The gatekeeper asked curiously, "Grandma Qiao, what's wrong? Isn't she still playing the piano in the back?"

"I can't explain it, it's just a feeling." Grandma Qiao frowned and pondered for a moment, and could only say this.

The gatekeeper nodded, then hesitated and said, "Then I'll leave. Can Grandma Qiao do it alone?"

Grandma Qiao raised her chin slightly, with a look of sarcasm on her face: "How much help can you get if you stay? Humph, just go and come back quickly!"

The gatekeeper turned around, pursed his lips, opened the door and left.

When the door opened, Grandma Qiao did not leave. She looked outside the door, and her cloudy eyes revealed greed and desire.

However, as the door closed from the outside, the light in Grandma Qiao's eyes disappeared again, and she returned to her old and frail appearance, with a kind smile on her face again.

The gatekeeper was a person Du Ziren trusted. He ran to the west corner gate of the Du family, knocked on the doorknob and waited.

In the past, I only had to wait a short while for someone to open the door, but today I had to wait for a long time. Just when the gatekeeper was about to knock on the door knocker again, the door opened.

The person who showed his head was a woman in her forties. She recognized the man outside and asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you were sent by the young master to do some work? Are you back to report after you've finished your work?"

The gatekeeper waved his hand and said, "There is still time to waste. Is the young master at home? I want to report something to you."

The woman shook her head and said, "I heard from the maid in the young master's room that he went out early in the morning."

"Well, then I'll go back first and come to see the young master in the evening." The gatekeeper was a little worried about the situation over there. He couldn't see the young master anyway, so he might as well go back first.

"What are you doing here? How about I tell the Madam for you?" The woman wanted to show her face in front of the Madam, so she acted a little attentive.

Everyone knew that the young mistress, Princess Huaye, was a person with a bad temper and didn't care about things. She and Du Ziren had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. So the servants didn't think of telling Huaye, but wanted to tell Du Ziren's mother.

"I'd better tell the young master about this directly. Besides, there's no rush." ​​After all, Du Ziren had a woman outside, and she was someone else's wife, and she was willing to follow him. As a servant, he had no idea whether the lady would know about this, so he must not let it slip and ruin Du Ziren's good fortune.

This is also Du Ziren's fault. Although he appears to be gentle and elegant, a handsome nobleman with a noble wife and concubines at home, not to mention his wife's unruly and willful nature, his concubines are all beautiful and gentle.

But Du Ziren has some quirks. He always likes to keep someone outside.

It is not correct to say that he is supporting someone. Du Ziren prides himself on being a romantic man, and he also likes to hook up with innocent girls from decent families, making women fall head over heels for him and follow him regardless of etiquette and innocence.

Once the novelty wore off, he ruthlessly forgot about it. Anyway, these women couldn't go to the Du family to make trouble. If they did, they would lose face to live.

The gatekeeper turned and left, and the woman hurriedly closed the door tightly again.

The gatekeeper turned around in confusion, thought for a moment, and knocked on the door again.

The woman looked at the door again and asked in confusion, "What else?" "Did something happen at home?"

"What's the problem?" The woman was unhappy and glared at him. "Don't be such a pessimist. Who doesn't know what the situation is in our Du family? They are just a bunch of scoundrels looking for trouble. How long can they last? Our old master and the master are just waiting to see how many people jump out and then we will deal with them together."

The gatekeeper knew about the old man and the master, but the Du family didn't care. After all, the young master was not implicated in anything, so they didn't take it seriously. After all, the Du family was a behemoth, who could easily touch it?

However, he came back to ask because he felt something was strange, so he asked casually. But now the woman's reaction was a bit too much, which made the gatekeeper feel uneasy.

After saying goodbye and going back, the gatekeeper told Grandma Qiao that the young master was not at home and that he would go there again in the evening, but he did not tell her about the situation at the Du family.

After all, in his mind, Grandma Qiao was a strange person, and not even a member of the Du family, so it was better not to talk about the Du family's affairs.

Grandma Qiao didn't care much and waved her hand: "Forget it, you don't have to go tonight."

In the evening, Qin Cui read for a while as usual and went to bed early.

Grandma Qiao stood quietly outside the window for a while, heard Qin Sui's even breathing, and left only after making sure that she was asleep.

Although Qin Cui is a fragile woman, it just so happens that the old lady feels that she cannot tolerate any relaxation. This is actually quite good, as it makes her calm and boring life more interesting.

Although Grandma Qiao had left, Qin Sui still kept her eyes closed and breathed deeply.

It was not until the midnight watchman's call came from outside that Qin Sui turned over, faced outside, and reached out to lift a corner of the mosquito net. The candle had gone out. Moonlight was pouring in through the crack in the window that was never closed tightly, making the rest of the place seem even darker.

The nights here are noisy and lively, filled with the smell of money, wine, sex and decadence.

A flute sound came from afar, mixed with the sound of stringed instruments, but it didn't seem abrupt.

But after listening for a while, Qin Sui smiled in the darkness.

She had been sleeping in her clothes, and now she stood up, put on her shoes in the dark, and relying on her knowledge of the room, she groped her way to the back window, opened it and climbed out.

There was moonlight outside. Although it was not bright, it was not completely dark.

There was a long rope hanging from the wall in the backyard, with a knot tied at the bottom. Qin Su guessed the purpose of the rope as soon as she saw it, which meant that she should put it on and sit on it. Otherwise, with Qin Su's physical strength, she would definitely not be able to climb up.

As soon as she was done, she pulled the rope hard, and people outside started pulling the rope hard. Qin Sui didn't want to get hurt by scratching herself, and she was even more afraid of making a sound and alerting the scary old lady Qiao, so she faced the wall and stared at it with her feet.

Finally, Qin Cui climbed to the top of the courtyard wall. There was a ladder outside, but it was still half a person's height away from the top of the courtyard wall. Perhaps it was not convenient to move a higher staircase over.

Xiao Chenyu stood at the top of the ladder, stretched out his hands in a welcoming gesture towards Qin Cui, his eyes sparkling in the moonlight, it was hard to tell whether it was moonlight or tears in them.

Qin Sui gritted her teeth and suppressed all her complicated thoughts. She didn't know who Grandma Qiao was, so she decided to leave first.

She turned around and grabbed the wall, moving her feet down little by little. When Xiao Chenyu grabbed her feet, Qin Sui suddenly burst into tears.

Sliding down the ladder, Qin Sui fell into a warm and trembling embrace. Xiao Chenyu just hugged her tightly and said in her ear: "Go down first and leave here first."

"Yeah!" Qin Cui only replied with one word, but her heart and eyes were filled with joy and peace of mind.
