Chapter 220: Asking to Marry Qin Yuru Outside the Gate
"What's going on?" Mrs. Di was startled, no longer caring about Aunt Zhou, and rushed out of the house.
"Madam, someone wants to marry the eldest lady!" The little maid rushed over and knelt down in front of Di, her face turned pale with anxiety.
"Who is it?" Di Shi grabbed the little girl and asked her anxiously, holding her collar.
"My servant doesn't know. She said that there was a big fuss and even the general was alerted. She just took the person to the study. At this time, the entire house was full of people. They all said that our eldest lady had an affair with someone. That The man came to ask for the eldest lady’s hand, and said that he and the eldest lady had given each other gifts... When we were at the door before, he even... took out the hairpin from our house!"
The little maid took a hard breath, holding her collar with both hands, and said with difficulty, her face was slightly pale because she was out of breath.
"Yuru's hairpin?" Di's hand loosened, her feet swayed, and she managed to steady herself.
"Yes, it is said that the hairpin was given by the eldest lady in private. He said that he and the eldest lady have long been friends. Today he came to the door just to ask for the eldest lady's hand in marriage. Madam, please think of a solution quickly. This... how can this happen? Do it!" The little maid could finally take a few deep breaths and speak more clearly.
Di's face turned blue and she felt like the world was spinning in front of her eyes and she couldn't see anything clearly!
Aunt Zhou's cry came to my ears, and I shook my head and finally woke up, "Madam, madam..."
"Let's go to the general's study!" After gathering herself, Di said through gritted teeth, and immediately strode to the outer courtyard. Who wanted to harm Yuru? Of course she didn't believe that Qin Yuru would have anything to do with other men. Personal affair.
Qin Yuru had agreed to marry Di Yan and was extremely satisfied with it. How could she do such a thing again.
The incident of Mrs. Yong-Comber bringing the cracked plate into the house just now was still in her mind. At this time, she subconsciously thought about whether it was Mrs. Yong-combe's scheme again, or whether it was Mrs. Yong-combe and that woman. She had heard from Aunt Zhou before that the relationship between the cousin and niece that Mrs. Yong Kangbo was interested in and Di Yan was definitely not the relationship between ordinary cousins who observe courtesy.
This kind of thing, with the previous evidence, is likely to lead to subsequent conjectures.
If it were in the past, Mrs. Di would never have suspected Mrs. Yong-Comb. However, after what happened before, she felt that it was very likely that Mrs. Yong-Combo had secretly intervened in this matter.
Her eyes couldn't help showing hatred, and she wouldn't let Shi go until she found the evidence.
After Qin Huaiyong left in a hurry, Qin Yuru and others could not stay any longer, so they had no choice but to leave Qin Wanru's Zhifangxuan.
After everyone else left, Qin Wanru asked Yujie and Qingyue to clean the house.
Qingyue had asked for the plate from the big kitchen before. There was no second such plate there. Although the plate that served the pastries before was said to be from the kitchen, no one knew where Mei Yan found it and put it there. Yes, the lady in charge even said that she had never seen such a plate before.
However, similar plates can still be found. Although they are not very similar, they have similar patterns, and it will be more difficult to identify them after they are broken.
As for the brocade, it was no longer the two pieces sent by the eldest princess of Ruian. There were so many materials at that time, Qin Wanru didn't believe that Qin Yuru recognized them all at a glance.
Walking to the window and looking at the pastries that had been put away again, Qin Wanru picked up a silver needle and pierced a piece of debris on the needle. She put it to her nose and sniffed carefully, then handed it to the side. Yujie.
Yu Jie took it and sniffed it carefully, "Miss, this pastry is indeed very fragrant. It is different from ordinary pastries. It is particularly fragrant. This is something with a fragrance added. This kind of thing smells special." The fragrance is fragrant, and cats and dogs also like it. When the slave was in Jingxin Temple, the master once told the slave that a large family happened to come to offer incense, and a cat knocked over the sacrifice. !”
Regarding medicine, Yu Jie's knowledge was even better than Qin Wanru's, so she gave a pertinent reply at this time.
This reply was as expected by Qin Wanru. She smiled slightly and sat down in front of the chair, "Is that cat a gift from Mrs. Yong Kangbo?"
"It should be so. I asked someone to inquire before. I heard that Mrs. Yong-combo keeps a few cats around her. This one doesn't look big. It should be given to Mrs. to be raised!"
"Who is raising this cat now?" Qin Wanru said calmly.
"It's a woman who lives next to Madam. It is said that she had a cat at home before, and Madam now lets her keep it. Madam herself doesn't like cats, and she doesn't let cats come near her on weekdays." Yujie said carefully.
"Is there a kind of medicinal powder that can be kept in a cat's body, but will not be released until a certain time!" Qin Wanru lowered her eyes and said slowly.
"This... seems to be possible!" Yu Jie thought for a while and said.
"Write down what you need in a while. Next time you go out, mix it with some regular medicinal materials and buy them into the house. Especially the key medicinal materials, we will buy them ourselves when we leave the house!" Almost instantly, Qin Wanru himself Got an idea.
"Yes, I will write it right away!" Yujie responded and retreated.
Aunt Yu hurriedly ran in: "Second Miss, what's wrong, there is a man making trouble at the door. He said that he and the eldest lady had a mutual friendship before, and he hoped that the eldest lady in our house would marry him!"
"You just came?" Qin Wanru raised an eyebrow. It was a coincidence that he came early.
Only then did the seeds of doubt be planted in Di's heart, and now there was fertile soil for it to grow.
"Yes, there is a commotion going on right now. I happened to go out for something. I happened to see that the door of our house was full of people, and they were all pointing at our house." Aunt Yu frowned and said, she actually She was not worried about Qin Yuru's affairs, but she was afraid that Qin Yuru's affairs would affect Qin Wanru.
Qin Wanru stood up, walked to the dressing table and sat down, "Qingyue come over and help me freshen up. My father will definitely let me over in a while."
Qingyue came over obediently, put down the bun of Dong Wanru's hair and combed it again.
"Why? Isn't this the eldest lady's business? Why does it have to do with the second lady?" Aunt Yu became anxious, followed her and looked at Qin Wanru in the mirror.
"Although this matter has nothing to do with me, since this hairpin has the word 'Qin' written on it, Mrs. Di must let me step into the troubled waters!" Qin Wanru said slowly.
"Mrs. Di wants to blame the matter on you again?" Aunt Yu was shocked, her face changed in anxiety, and she walked around the room twice before stopping, "Miss, what should I do now? You can’t just sit back and wait for death!”
Di's murderous act without a bottom line in Jiangzhou still frightens Aunt Yu. When she heard that it was Di's trouble again, she immediately panicked.
"Don't worry, mama, I'll be fine. What happened to what Wang Feng asked about before?" Qin Wanru said calmly, looking at the girl in the mirror combing her bun again, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she smiled. .
Perhaps her calm attitude affected Aunt Yu. Aunt Yu's panic calmed down, and she took a deep breath before saying: "The people from Madam Shui's husband's family have been found, and they actually arrived in Beijing, but they didn't Whatever action you take, you should think about taking action at the most appropriate opportunity."
"Who let them enter Beijing?"
"It's Madam's roommate. When we were in Jiangzhou before, we had people go there to inform us. After we entered Beijing, they got up at about the same time." Aunt Yu reported that she had just gone out in a hurry, but it was actually for This matter, her son told her that the matter had some clues.
Qin Wanru didn't have the slightest doubt that it was Di's people who lured people from Shui Ruolan's ex-husband's family. This was why she asked Wang Feng to quickly find those two people and check the people who came from Jiangzhou in the past few days. There won't be many people. If you keep an eye on the people around Di, this matter will be found out.
"Who is coming?"
"I heard that they were the younger brother and sister-in-law of Mrs. Shui's ex-husband. When Mrs. Shui's husband died, they treated Mrs. Shui very badly. They and her mother-in-law treated Mrs. Shui harshly. After the old lady found out, she took Mrs. Shui back to live with her. Yes." Aunt Yu is an old man in the house, so she naturally knows about Shui Ruolan.
Speaking of Shui Ruolan, it is true that she has a hard life. This marriage was arranged early. It is said that it was arranged when Shui Ruolan's biological mother was around. But then Shui Ruolan's biological mother was not around. In fact, the marriage was not that good. Bian didn't want to admit it either, but later because of Qin Huaiyong's identity, Bian proposed to marry Shui Ruolan again.
But she didn't expect that Shui Ruolan's ex-husband died just half a year after they got married. After that, her life there was extremely difficult. The family even let the news out that she was a concubine, and there were always a lot of unknowns. If so, then the old lady took Shui Ruolan back to the Qin Mansion in a rage!
"Didn't that family say that they would let their mother get married freely, but now they actually have the nerve to come to her door!" Qin Wanru said coldly.
"I guess he wants to extort some money. This kind of person is very shameless. He said before that he could do whatever he wants with Mrs. Shui. As long as Mrs. Shui goes back, he can divide their property. Now that he has appeared, Zuo is just looking at Shui. I can still get some benefits from my wife, but except for the dead young master, there is no good character in this family!"
Aunt Jade said angrily.
She went to pick up Shui Ruolan with several people from the mansion. When she saw that Shui Ruolan was so thin that she was reduced to a handful of withered bones, she was so angry that she almost quarreled with the people in the mansion.
It was a beautiful girl's family, but she had been tortured for less than half a year after she got married. It made every family feel distressed. Aunt Yu felt that she had never seen such a mean and ungrateful family. .
"Let Wang Feng keep an eye over there. If there is anything unusual, come and report it to me quickly. But there should be nothing wrong for the time being. Madam doesn't have time recently!" Qin Wanru lowered her eyes and fluttered her long eyelashes like butterfly wings twice. Then he said slowly.
There have been a lot of things going on recently, and Di Shi can't be busy for a while. Originally, her mother and herself were her biggest enemies. After today's incident, Di Shi now hates more than just her mother and herself. Di Shi's character is not like that. People who can suffer!
"Second Miss, the general invites you to go to the study!" The maid's voice suddenly came from the door!
Qin Wanru's heart moved, he was coming!
