My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 582: Can't See the Purse
In her previous life, Qin Yuan had interacted with these two people when she followed Lin Ziqi back to Beijing. At that time, they were already women in their thirties. Although they also liked to talk about family matters, they did not show everything on their faces like they do now.

Qin Yuan was feeling both amused and annoyed. Just when she was about to say something, she saw a maid in a pink shirt hurried in with a tray with a teapot and teacups on it. She opened her mouth and apologized in a panic.

"Ladies, please forgive me for being late in serving tea."

"It's okay. You have so many guests today that I can't help but be unable to take care of them," someone said.

Qin Yuan didn't say anything, just raised his eyebrows slightly.

Logically, there should be someone waiting to serve near the pavilion, and the tea should be placed on the stone table and changed from time to time. Now a maid came to serve tea in a hurry, which was really strange.

Moreover, the maid's clothes were slightly different from those of the maids they had met along the way.

I already had a plan in mind.

The maid thanked the lady who spoke, then walked towards the stone table with her head lowered in embarrassment. Yang'er moved aside slightly to make it easier for her to serve tea.

As he got closer, he stepped on something and his body swayed. With a scream, the teapot tilted towards Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan: The banquet hasn’t started yet, are you in such a hurry?
Hongye cried out in surprise, and Hehua, who had been standing at the side, swung her arm sideways, striking the tray, sending the teapot and teacups flying backwards. Yang'er then turned and hid Qin Yuan behind her, protecting her tightly.

The maid was unable to dodge and was splashed with tea. The tray also hit her face, leaving a red mark.

Everyone exclaimed.

The maidservant stood there blankly, her body soaked, her clothes sticking to her, and tea foam sprayed all over her head and face. The two ladies of the Marquis of Wuding's mansion were also affected, with some splashed on their dresses.

"Why are you so clumsy, little girl?" The younger one couldn't help but scold, but considering that it was the birthday of the old lady of the Duke's Mansion, she could only raise her eyebrows and glare at the maid who caused the trouble and swallow her anger.

The maid looked at Qin Yuan, who hadn't been splashed with water, with disappointment, and sobbed softly, "I was so anxious just now that I accidentally soiled your clothes. I deserve death. Please, ladies, spare me for the sake of the old lady's birthday. I will take you ladies to change clothes right away."

After these words were spoken, the ladies who were splashed with tea had no choice but to suppress their anger.

"For the old lady's sake, I'll forgive you. Your behavior was truly reckless. Luckily, we all brought a change of clothes, but if we were to encounter such clumsy service like you again, I'm afraid no matter how many changes we bring, they wouldn't be enough."

The maid apologized again and again.

Qin Yuan stood up and said, "Then let her lead the way, and we'll go change clothes together."

"...Uh, but you weren't splashed..."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "If it weren't for my maid protecting me, I would have been the one splashed. Consider it my apology. Besides, this maid is too reckless. I'm a little worried about letting her take the sisters with her. Why don't we go together? The master is very busy today and probably won't be able to take care of many things. It would be bad if she bumped into someone who doesn't know the rules."

The two ladies of the Wuding Marquis's residence glanced at the two maids behind Qin Yuan with complicated expressions, then looked at the maid who had caused the trouble. They had some vague thoughts in their minds and said, "It's really great that you come with us. We were just talking in the middle of a conversation when this maid interrupted us. If we change our clothes and come out to talk to you again, it will be difficult."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "This is what it means to hit it off immediately. I feel the same way. If you sisters like to hear me talk about these things, please come to the manor often. I'm the only young wife in the manor, and I'm just worried about not having any company." "Then it's settled," the group said with laughter, and they got up and left the pavilion with a bunch of maids.

A maid in pink led the way. The autumn wind blew and she couldn't help but shiver. A few maids came over and asked curiously, "Zhuye, why are you here serving? What's going on?"

Zhuye hurriedly said, "The master came up and saw these ladies sitting in the pavilion without tea. He was afraid of neglecting the guests, so he asked me to serve tea. Unexpectedly, it was spilled. I was taking the ladies to change clothes. Xiao Si, can you help me take the ladies there? I need to change quickly."

The maid named Xiao Si thought for a moment and said, "We were originally serving in the pavilion. Who knew the housekeeper would suddenly come to us for something? That's why we're bothering you. Go change your clothes. Ping'er and I will take the ladies there."

Zhu Ye thanked him again and again, then turned around with tea leaves all over his head and body to apologize to the ladies. After everything was settled, he left.

Xiao Si and Ping'er took them to the guest house, which was very elegantly decorated. The ladies whose clothes were dirty went behind the screen to change, while Qin Yuan and others sat at the table outside and waited.

Qin Yuan asked, "Which master in the mansion is Zhuye following?"

Xiao Si laughed and said, "She is the one who guards the library. There were quite a few guests in the mansion today. Some of the masters might have brought their distinguished guests to the library to talk. They happened to see it and wanted to avoid neglecting the ladies, so they asked her to serve. But she turned out to be so clumsy. I hope Madam will not laugh at her."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "How could that be? This is also out of the kindness of the host family."

He thought to himself that the guests coming today were all nobles, and few of them liked reading. Even those who were pretentious would not come to discuss learning at this time. Only distinguished guests would be invited into the library.

There are no more than five people who can be regarded as distinguished guests by the Duke's Mansion and arranged to work in the library.

Qin Yuan took out two plump, shiny golden peanuts from her pouch and handed them to Hehua and Yang'er. "You two have served us very attentively today. Take these and play with them slowly."

Lotus and Yang'er knew that their actions had won Qin Yuan's heart. They took the golden peanuts and hid them in their waists, saying happily, "Thank you, Madam, for the reward."

Ping'er and Xiaosi, who were standing aside, had envy in their eyes.

Hongye blinked and said jokingly, "This golden peanut is worth a lot of silver. It would be a shame if it were left alone and didn't produce any peanuts."

Lotus asked: "How to give birth?"

Hongye wanted to say something, but Cuiming poked her with a finger and said, "This is not difficult. I'll explain it to you slowly when we get back home."

Ping'er and Xiaosi, who had been listening attentively, now looked disappointed.

Hongye smiled at Qin Yuan again and said, "Madam has a lot of peanuts in her purse, so we have to work harder."

Lotus and Yang'er couldn't help laughing.

Qin Yuan angrily said, "You really can't stand seeing my purse bulge. I'm not a stingy person. As long as you do well, there will be rewards. It doesn't matter if I empty my purse today. But the Duke's Mansion is not a very important family. How can there be so many opportunities for you to get rewards?"

Hongye said seriously, "Since Madam said so, then I believe it. The Duke's Mansion is naturally well-managed, but it is inevitable that some guests may be careless. Who knows, I might be able to survive with one or two golden flowers."
