After being kicked out of the prince's mansion, he suffered from morning sickness, and the rege

Sizhu's anger suddenly emerged, but Qi Lingying took the box with a smile and opened it gently.

When she saw another mandarin duck jade pendant lying inside, she just sighed leisurely.

Sure enough, Qian Xue already had one before Jing Yu gave her the jade pendant.

She compared the jade pendant in the box with the one on her body and found that they were not exactly the same.

She tapped her fingers on the edge of the table and soon figured out that this so-called love jade pendant was actually three mandarin ducks walking side by side.

Sizhu dug out the pastries and tea leaves from Qi Lingying in the big box, and her chest heaved violently with anger.

"Even the things you made with your own hands, Mr. Jinglang gave them to this maid. He really doesn't cherish your thoughts at all." She was angry and felt a sense of grievance.

Qi Lingying put Qian Xue's jade pendant back into the box and handed it to Sizhu.

"Give Miss Qian a good life and return her home." But Sizhu was unwilling to accept it.

"You silly girl, I have already told you that Master Jing is a good man, but not a good man."

Sizhu had a slumped face and reluctantly toyed with the overturned box.

Qi Lingying laughed for some reason, "Why are you so sad? You can't even remember a word my little mother taught you?"

Sizhu sullenly packed her things and ignored Qi Lingying.

"It is difficult for a woman to survive. If you focus all your attention on men, you will only destroy yourself." Qi Lingying stated her mother-in-law's teachings.

Sizhu's eyes turned red, "Miss, you have suffered enough in this life, but after getting married, you can't even ask for your husband's sincerity?"

"Sincerity is priceless, and at the same time, sincerity is the most useless. It is the most illusory thing, and it is also something that can be taken away at any time."

Qi Lingying adjusted her hair accessories in front of the bronze mirror, and at the same time put on the smile she had practiced countless times, making herself the dignified and elegant lady again.

"Instead of asking for sincerity, it is better to ask for some good land and the right to truly make the decision. What is in your hands is yours."

Qi Lingying stood up and looked at Sizhu, "Come out with me after you have packed up."

Qian Xue didn't go far. When she saw the door opened, she quickly came over.

"I'm really sorry for bothering Miss Qian just now, but now I have to trouble you to take us back."

When Qianxue heard that this person was leaving, she was so happy that she quickly led Qi Lingying to Zhao's courtyard.

Qian Xue walked a little faster, but Qi Lingying followed slowly, looking around with a relaxed expression.

Whether it was because she was distracted or because of bad luck, she accidentally stepped on a piece of broken ice and almost fell down.

Sizhu exclaimed and quickly supported Qi Lingying, who almost fell down. Qianxue also turned around and rushed over after hearing this.

"But where did you fall?"

Qi Lingying stood up with Sizhu's help. She was about to shake her head and say it was okay, but she couldn't help but frown.

Qian Xue quickly realized something was wrong and squatted down almost without thinking.

"But you sprained your foot?" Qianxue said and wanted to touch Qi Lingying's ankle.

Qi Lingying was startled and stepped back suddenly, which only made the injured foot more painful.

Seeing her painful expression, Qian Xue knew that she was indeed injured. She softened her voice and explained quickly: "The eldest lady twisted her foot once when she climbed high. She was looked after by a slave at that time, so she has some experience. Miss Sixth is so precious, it is better to be cautious."

Qi Lingying fixed her gaze on Qian Xue, but could only see her lowering her head respectfully and waiting.

"Then I'll bother Miss Qian." After she said that, she no longer resisted Qian Xue's touch.

Qian Xue moved Qi Lingying's ankle in an orderly manner based on her experience at the time, and asked carefully. She breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that no bones were injured.

"It's just a slight strain, not a muscle or bone injury. Miss Six, would you like to rest for a while first?"

Qianxue then put down Qi Lingying's calf and looked up at her, with no trace of worry or concern in her eyes.

Qi Lingying was a little embarrassed by this sincere look, and she turned her head away uncomfortably.

"You can still walk. It's such a cold day, so I won't bother you to accompany me here to blow the cold wind."

Qian Xue nodded, slowly stood up and straightened her clothes.

Her eyes were stunned, and she found a dusty footprint on her clothes, which made her look a little funny after being specially dressed.

She pursed her lips, thinking that she had not noticed it when she moved Qi Lingying's ankle just now.

She patted them hard again, but there was freshly melted snow along the way, so what was stuck to the soles of her shoes was not dust, but mud, which couldn't be patted away with her hands.

She felt a little uncomfortable, but she still followed Qi Lingying's instructions and continued to lead her to Zhao's courtyard.

When they returned to Zhao's courtyard, Jing Yu had already arrived and was talking to the two ladies.

However, neither of them looked very happy, but Jing Yu looked relaxed.

His eyes swept across the people who entered the hall, and finally fell on Qi Lingying, and asked with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Qi Lingying's eyes were slightly curved, she smiled calmly and shook her head.

Jing Yu then smiled and pointed to the position next to Mrs. Qi, "As long as there is nothing to do. When you sit down, we can talk about business."

Sizhu helped Qi Lingying walk to Mrs. Qi's side, while Qianxue stood behind Jing Yu very naturally.

It was only at this moment that Qian Xue finally felt at peace.

Unknowingly, being next to Jing Yu became the place where she felt most at ease.

After everyone went to where they should go, Jing Yu spoke first.

"Marriage matters should be the order of the parents, and the matchmaker should not be discussed by the younger generation. However, the current situation is special. The younger generation's mother died early, and the father does not attach much importance to it. This is why the younger generation himself came forward to invite his aunt to discuss the marriage. .”

Mrs. Qi couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Zhao. Although she was not Jing Yu's biological mother, as the mistress of Jing Mansion, she could still speak to the marriage. However, Jing Yu's words seemed to not allow Zhao and Jing Xiang to interfere.

She originally planned to see Mrs. Zhao angry, but she found that Mrs. Zhao, who had just had a heated argument with her, was like a clay sculpture at the moment, not even moving her lips. Could it be that Mr. Jing told her not to interfere?

She couldn't help but look back at Jing Yu, and saw that he was leaning back in the chair very relaxedly, and the official uniform on his body made him even more majestic. It seemed that he should be in charge of everything today.

All this seemed weird and ridiculous. Mrs. Qi wanted to say something, but when she thought that the person she was marrying was not her daughter, she didn't want to ask any more questions.

"We are aware of the good nephew's performance these days and the good reputation spread throughout the imperial capital. His father and I can rest assured that I will leave the Sixth Girl to you."

A trace of imperceptible sarcasm flashed in Jing Yu's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. He couldn't help but glance at Qi Liu, wondering what her expression was.
