Chapter 61 Don't Be So Cruel to Me

When Qin Yuan came out of the upper room, it was already dark and lights were on everywhere in the mansion.

She had not yet admired the night view of the Marquis' Mansion, so she took Hongye and Cuiming for a slow walk to help digest the food.

Hongye asked, "Didn't Madam want to check the accounts of the needlework room? Why did you go to the upper room to accompany the old lady?"

And stayed with me for so long.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "It can be seen that when a person speaks quickly, his brain will work more slowly. Ask Cui Ming to tell me why I am like this."

Cui Ming also laughed, "I can't predict everything, but since Madam said so, there must be a reason. I guess it has something to do with Hongye."

"Is it related to me?"

Hongye was stunned.

Qin Yuan laughed and said, "Fool, idiot, if it wasn't for you, I could go to the upper room tomorrow morning, why bother going there so quickly?"

Hongye looked confused.

Cui Ming said: "Bai Que was someone the old lady used before, and she assigned him to Feng Xuan Pavilion. This shows how much the old lady valued Feng Xuan Pavilion and trusted Bai Que."

Hongye also came to his senses.

"Miss, you are worried that Bai Que will ask the old lady for help, but what does this have to do with me?"

Cui Ming also looked at Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan smiled and nodded at her: "The servants in the Marquis' Mansion are intertwined, and they are all family-born children. Bai Que is valued, and dares to stand at the gate of Wutong Garden to make trouble, causing the Sixth Madam to ask me in public. It can be seen that Bai Que's father and mother must have some respectability in front of the old lady."

Hongye suddenly realized.

"No wonder the old lady looked so worried when I first entered the upper room. Miss, are you doing this because you're worried that the white bird will bite me back?"

Qin Yuan shook her head and said, "Those were the words of the Marquis. What's the point of her biting you? Although I am respectable, I cannot ignore the Marquis. They can only ask the old lady and the Marquis for help."

"The people sent by Fengxuan Pavilion to invite the Marquis were all very confident and had no respect for Wutong Garden. I saw with cold eyes that everyone in Fengxuan Pavilion had already regarded Madam Zhao as the future master of the Marquis' Mansion, and she was superior to Wutong Garden. I really don't know what benefits Madam Zhao promised them. But after such a commotion today, not only did they lose the benefits, but they can't even stay in the mansion. How can they let it go?"

"They can't do anything to me, so they will naturally blame you. Therefore, Bai Que must not stay in the Marquis' Mansion."

Hongye is her personal maid, who was highly valued by her in her previous life, and she cannot afford to make any mistakes in this life.

She won't feel at ease until all of Zhao Niang's minions are completely eradicated.

Hongye said, "Young lady is still cautious. I will be more careful in the future."

Qin Yuan said: "That's great, but you don't have to be timid and change your temperament. As long as I can protect you, you don't have to worry."

If someone is plotting against you on purpose, it's no use being careful.

It’s better to use your brain and do things more carefully.

Hongye sighed: "There are too few people around the young lady who can be used. When can we quickly promote those little maids?"

Qin Yuan said, "Don't worry."

Hongye asked again: "I think Xiaohong is very smart and has a good memory. Why doesn't the master take her here and keep her in Wutong Garden to serve?"

The Marquis has agreed, and Xiaohong also wants to come, so why not?
Qin Yuan said, "It's because she's too smart. I need to wait and see. If she's not strong-minded and easily changes her character, it's better to have someone who's not so smart but has a strong character. As everyone knows, the smarter the person, the more harmful they are. Compared to intelligence, I value loyalty more."

These two maids are very loyal.

She dared to turn her back to them, knowing that they would not abandon her or stab her in the critical moment.

Hongye smiled and said, "I just thought that the young lady was praising me."

Cui Ming couldn't help laughing.

Qin Yuan said: "You two grew up with me. Although you are master and servant, you have a sisterly relationship. How can others compare to you?"

This one sentence made the two maids burst into tears.

Qin Yuan quickly changed the subject and said, "If Xiaohong is a good person, she can become my arm in the future. You are Dahong and she is Xiaohong, so let her follow you."

Hongye wiped away her tears and spat, "Miss, you have read so many books, you can be considered a scholar, why did you choose such a vulgar name? Now that Xiaohong is here, are you still going to call me Dahong?"

Qin Yuan: "It's not impossible. The most vulgar is the most elegant. There's nothing wrong with being a famous person." At the beginning, when she was in the backyard of the Qin family, she was very discreet. The name Hongye Cuiming was chosen after she had considered for a long time.

Cui Ming smiled and said, "I'm not picky. The one who follows me will be called Xiao Lu."

The three of them were talking and laughing. Before they approached Wutong Garden, they saw several figures standing at the gate of the garden and heard faint sobbing sounds.

Hongye was impatient and said, "What's going on? Why are you always driving Wutongyuan to make trouble?"

Cui Ming pulled her.

Hongye turned around and saw Qin Yuan stopped walking with a strange look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Hongye couldn't help but lower her voice.

"Let's stand in the dark first."

Qin Yuan whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, the ones in front should be Madam Zhao and the two children."

She didn't want to meet them mother and son at all.

Let Gu Jinghui handle the problems that he caused.

If Lord Gu can't handle it, isn't there still Old Madam Gu?

Hongye secretly felt sorry and sighed, "Okay."

Qin Yuan was about to turn around and look somewhere else when she heard Gu Jinghui calling her loudly: "Yuan'er, why did you come back just now? I'm drunk."

Qin Yuan: “…”

Lord Gu is really sharp-eyed.

The sobbing stopped suddenly, and everyone standing at the gate turned to look over.

Qin Yuan had no choice but to go and meet them with Hongye and Cuiming.

"Did my husband drink?"

Qin Yuan's voice was soft. It was clearly a simple inquiry, but to the ears it sounded like she was acting coquettishly.

Gu Jinghui's voice softened as he complained, "That's right, why did you stay at mother's for so long?"

The tone was extremely intimate.

Qin Yuan walked closer with a smile and said, "Mother asked me to talk for a while."

At first glance, I saw that Madam Zhao was wearing a plain dress with a small white flower on her hair. Her face was flushed with tears and she seemed to be unable to stand steadily. She was accompanied by two children of similar height.

These are the twins, boy and girl.

The two look very similar, both wearing plain silk shirts, the boy is heroic and the girl is gentler.

He doesn't look like a five-year-old child. He looks more like six or seven years old.

Mrs. Zhao was of medium height, and it seemed that their father was tall and strong-looking.

However, it doesn't look like Gu Jinghui's child at all.

The two children were not good at hiding their emotions and were staring at her unkindly.

Obviously in their eyes, she was the bad person who took away their "father" and made their mother sad.

Before Qin Yuan could talk to Madam Zhao, Gu Jinghui had already reached out and pulled her to his side, saying, "My father-in-law invited me to drink and also gave me a book. I missed you so much after not seeing you for so long."

Madam Zhao swayed as if she was about to fall to the ground.

Qin Yuan: “…”

Is Lord Gu trying to use her to make Madam Zhao give up?
She smiled and said to Lady Zhao: "It seems that the Marquis is indeed drunk and is talking nonsense."

Zhao Niangzi's tears suddenly welled up, and she choked up and said, "Madam, I, I want to ask the Marquis to do me a favor. I just ask Madam to put aside the past grudges and say something nice to the Marquis, asking the Marquis to not be so heartless to me even for the sake of our two children."
