After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

Chapter 451: Life Won’t Be Too Bad
After saying goodbye to Bai and Du Jingxuan, the Fifth Lady whispered to Qin Xiaoning, "Second sister-in-law, do you think Auntie Du has a good impression of me?"

Qin Xiaoning glared at the Fifth Miss with a smile: "I didn't expect you to work so hard for the young Marquis of the Du family."

"Sister-in-law, please don't tease me." The fifth girl covered her face and said, "When I was talking to Madam Du just now, I was so nervous that my face turned red."

Qin Xiaoning said nothing, just covered her mouth and laughed.

The fifth girl said coquettishly: "I have a lot on my mind and I treat you as my confidant. Not only did the second sister-in-law not help me, but she also laughed at me." After saying that, the little girl turned away: "I will ignore you."

"Don't be upset." Qin Xiaoning held the fifth girl's hand and said, "Tell me how I can help you."

The fifth girl turned around immediately and said, "Just now I asked you to help me, and you seemed a little reluctant. How come you agreed to it so readily in just a short while?"

"Although I know what you are thinking, I still had some concerns before. Just now, I saw you trying to win over the old lady of the Du family, which really opened my eyes." Qin Xiaoning said: "After all, in this world, if a daughter-in-law can please her mother-in-law, her life will not be too bad."

The fifth girl was very clever: "In the beginning, the second sister-in-law was deeply loved by the eldest aunt, so you can achieve what others cannot."

Qin Xiaoning said simply: "You are right. Anyway, you can use my experience as a reference."

The aunt and sister-in-law were talking in whispers and couldn't help laughing.

"Tell me, how can I help you?" Qin Xiaoning asked, "Does Second Aunt know what you are thinking?"

When this was mentioned, the fifth girl's face immediately fell: "Mother naturally knows about it, but she doesn't want to. Not only does mother not want to, but the third sister-in-law doesn't support me either."

Qin Xiaoning said bluntly, "Sixth girl didn't want it, but you rushed to pick it up. Second Aunt and Third Sister-in-law must feel ashamed because of this."

"Second sister-in-law, you are so smart that nothing can be hidden from you." Then, the sixth girl sighed and said, "They don't agree. My wish is the moon in the water."

"So, you came to beg me."

The fifth girl blinked her bright eyes and asked, "Is there any solution?"

"There is always a way." Qin Xiaoning said, "Just let me think about it."

When the two sisters-in-law climbed to the top of the mountain and arrived at the temple, everyone had already gone in. Two maids were waiting for them at the door: "The Duke's wife and the second wife were originally waiting for the princess and the fifth lady here. They happened to meet the wife of the Shangshu Mansion, so they agreed to go in first. The lady said that the princess and the fifth lady should go to the main hall to look for them."

Although there are many people worshipping Buddha and going for an outing today, it doesn’t feel crowded because Guangyou Temple covers a large area.

After hearing the maid's message, Qin Xiaoning and the Fifth Lady headed straight for the main hall. When they were halfway there, the Fifth Lady suddenly tugged at the corner of Qin Xiaoning's clothes and pointed to the distance: "Look, sister-in-law, isn't that Zhou Jingchen, the second son of the Zhou family?"

The two of them paused, and Qin Xiaoning looked over: "Who is that woman?"

"Were you standing next to him?" The fifth girl covered her eyes with her hands: "You look like his maid, right?"

"Why isn't Sixth Sister with him? Where did she go?"

"Let's go and take a look." Qin Xiaoning said.

Zhou Erlang was in a remote place and he did not see the two people until Qin Xiaoning and the Fifth Girl came to him in a roundabout way. Then he noticed them.

"Second sister-in-law, fifth sister, you, why are you here?" When he saw the two of them, he was stunned at first, then he reacted and asked hesitantly.

Qin Xiaoning did not respond to him, her eyes only fell on the woman beside Zhou Erlang.

It wasn't that she was abrupt, but that the woman was really beautiful, the kind that people couldn't ignore even if she was in a crowd. When Qin Xiaoning looked at the woman, the fifth girl couldn't help but be attracted by her beauty: "Sixth brother-in-law, who is this woman?"

Mr. Zhou Er showed a trace of panic on his face, but he quickly calmed down and said with a half smile: "This is my maid."

Then, he joked with the Fifth Miss, "Why? Fifth Sister is interested in her?"

The fifth girl smiled awkwardly: "I won't steal someone else's beauty."

"How can you say that?" Mr. Zhou Er said with an awkward smile, "She is just a maid. If Qing'er hears what you said, she will misunderstand me."

Qin Xiaoning said, "This girl is really pretty. Not only does Fifth Sister like her, but I also like her very much. Master Zhou, please give her to me."

Zhou Er immediately panicked. "This is my mother's maid. I can't make the decision. Second sister-in-law is always kind. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Qin Xiaoning smiled faintly: "In that case, when I see your father, I will ask her for it. She is just a maid, can your father really refuse my respect?"

Since the marriage was arranged, Zhou Er often went to the Ningguo Mansion and met the young mistress Qin Xiaoning several times. He thought she was a very gentle person, but she was so fierce. For a moment, Zhou Er was at a loss.

He was hesitating about how to deal with it when the Sixth Miss came over. Seeing her family, she ran over happily. She glanced at Zhou Er, then at Qin Xiaoning and the Fifth Miss: "What a coincidence, how did you meet?"

Qin Xiaoning said: "It's just a coincidence."

"Yes, what a coincidence, what a coincidence." Zhou Er quickly echoed.

The Sixth Miss noticed something was wrong with them, so she asked suspiciously, "What's going on? Why do you guys seem unhappy?"

Seeing that the Sixth Miss was suspicious, Mr. Zhou Er hurriedly explained, "My Second Sister-in-law has chosen Lian Er and asked me for her. I said that she is my mother's maid and I cannot make the decision."

As he said this, he bowed deeply to Qin Xiaoning and said, "I really can't make the decision. Please don't be offended, Second Sister-in-law."

"Oh, I thought it was a big deal." The Sixth Miss helped Mr. Zhou Er up and said with a laugh, "My second sister-in-law is not such a petty person. She was just joking with you."

Mr. Zhou Er subconsciously wiped his brow and said with a wry smile, "It's getting late. Let's go quickly and don't let the elders wait anxiously."

As he spoke, he winked at the pretty young girl, and the girl obediently walked in front to lead the way, and the group went straight to the front hall.

Taking advantage of Zhou Er's inattention, the fifth girl whispered to the sixth girl, "Is that little maid really the maid of Madam Zhou?"

The Sixth Girl nodded: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with that."

"He's a little too handsome." The fifth girl said embarrassedly.

The Sixth Miss was amused: "Is it a sin for someone to be handsome?"

Qin Xiaoning said, "We didn't mean that. It's just that when we saw her with Zhou Er just now, we felt that something was not right."

The Sixth Miss sighed when she heard this: "You guys don't suspect Zhou Er has something going on with that maid, do you?"

The Fifth Lady remained silent. Qin Xiaoning said frankly, "I do have some doubts about them."

The Sixth Miss smiled helplessly: "Second sister-in-law, that's because you have a prejudice against Zhou Er. I have lived in the Zhou family for so many days, and I have dealt with Lian Er several times. She is the maidservant beside Madam Zhou, and she is very honest."

"Besides, no matter how frivolous Zhou Er is, he won't have any feelings for his mother." The Sixth Miss said, "You are overthinking."
