Chapter 253: Shield, There Is Another Person in Qin Mansion
"It has already been spread that I want to adopt her as my daughter, how can we stop?" Mrs. Xingguo's body was shaken, and there was uncontrollable anger on her beautiful face.
In order to create more pressure on the Qin government, she went to visit many high-ranking ladies for various reasons the next day. Although she did not explicitly say that she wanted to accept Qin Wanru as her adopted daughter, she did express it implicitly. She wanted to adopt an adopted daughter. She had visited her before and was very satisfied with her. She also expressed that she valued this adopted daughter very much.
After acknowledging her marriage, she will be taken to the Xingguo Duke's Mansion to raise her.
She didn't say it clearly, which of course showed his restraint. Before the matter was officially concluded, of course he couldn't just say it casually.
"Are you still planning to recognize her now? Does that mean that the rumor is true?" Duke Xingguo said coldly, his expression getting colder and colder. He raised his heavy eyelids, looked at Duke Xingguo's wife, and stood up: "That's it!"
After saying that, he lifted his feet and left.
"We can't do this anymore. What will others think of me? I will become a joke in the entire circle of ladies from the aristocratic family!" Mrs. Xingguo also stood up and said unconvinced.
What he said was conclusive, and he had to name Qin Wanru directly. If he backed down, it would only make the ladies laugh, and he would also be laughed at. Mrs. Xingguo could not afford to lose face.
"Otherwise, what else do you want?" Xingguo Gong said displeasedly, with a faint light flashing in his eyes, meaning unknown.
"The Qin Mansion only has one girl. Doesn't Qin Huaiyong have another girl?" Mrs. Xingguo was silent for a moment.
Even if she can't accept Qin Wanru, she still has to accept one. She doesn't want to become a joke in the circle of ladies from aristocratic families. She can talk about such things nonsense. Who will believe her in the future? Moreover, this kind of rhetoric is also a joke among the ladies of the aristocratic family. The things that the young lady has avoided since she was a child are inconsistent with the image of Mrs. Xingguo as a lady in the past.
This will affect the image of Mrs. Xingguo.
"You don't want to accept Qin Huaiyong's notorious eldest daughter as your adopted daughter, do you? Our Duke Xingguo's mansion will not want someone with such a bad reputation!" Duke Xingguo refused directly.
"Then what should I do? I can't be so embarrassed!" Mrs. Xingguo was stunned for a moment and said unconvinced.
"Is it possible that you want to attract... attention?" Duke Xingguo looked at Mrs. Xingguo with sharp eyes, and Mrs. Xingguo had to lower her head.
"Let's forget about it, don't mention it again!"
"Besides the Qin sisters, there is another one living in the Qin Mansion. She is the daughter of the prefect of Jiangzhou. I recognize her!" Seeing Duke Xingguo turning to leave, Mrs. Xingguo became anxious and said loudly.
Duke Xingguo paused and said without turning his head, "It's up to you!"
After saying that, he lifted the curtain, opened the door and came out of the house. His face had returned to its usual calmness, but the servants in the yard were all holding their breath and did not dare to take a breath.
Aunt Sheng looked at her nose and mouth, looking at the black shoes standing in front of her, not daring to move.
"You are my confidant by Madam's side. From now on, I still have to advise Madam on things she should do. She must not be as impetuous as that day!" Duke Xingguo said gently.
"Yes, Duke Guo, I understand!" Aunt Sheng understood what Duke Xing Guo was talking about, and she shivered more and more, her whole back bent.
"That's good. Madam doesn't understand some things very well, but you are different. You have watched me grow up in the past, and I have always respected you. So you should be more persuasive to Madam, so as not to make her do anything unreasonable. Real things!" Duke Xingguo became more gentle.
Everyone in the yard knew that the identity of this grandma was not simple. Although she was the wife of Duke Xingguo, she was not brought by her from her natal family, but the nanny of Duke Xingguo. This identity was very important to the people in the yard. It has a deterrent effect, and it also has some deterrent effect on Mrs. Xingguo.
"Yes, my lord, I understand!" Aunt Sheng didn't mean to rely on her old age at all, and she became more and more respectful.
Duke Xingguo glanced at Aunt Sheng, smiled and walked out in a friendly manner.
The round smile fits his image of a fat man very well.
After he left the yard, Grandma Sheng gently knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Mrs. Xingguo's somewhat cold voice came from inside the house. It was obvious that she had not recovered yet. Compared with Xingguo, who changed his appearance after leaving the house, Mrs. Xingguo's mood adjustment was much slower.
Aunt Sheng walked in and found that although Mrs. Xingguo's face was still very ugly, it was no longer as cloudy as before, and she looked pretty good.
"Go prepare the four gifts and accept the one from Qi Mansion as your adopted daughter." Mrs. Xingguo Gong looked at the teacup on the table and said slowly. She was not in a hurry. It was obvious that she really made this decision, not Impulse.
"Madam, do you really want to accept that Miss Qi as your adopted daughter?" Aunt Sheng was stunned for a moment, then she hurriedly raised her head and asked.
"Otherwise, how will this matter end? Now we can only take one step at a time. If there are more people in the house, it won't be too much, and if there are one less people, it won't matter. So what if we just accept an adopted daughter? It's just a dowry thing. It’s not a big deal!” Mrs. Xingguo said coldly.
A trace of anger flashed in her eyes. She didn't know who was behind this incident. If she knew who it was, she would be cut into pieces. She made a wonderful move, but because of these Rumor has it that he had to restrain his tactics and even brought in an unknown Qi Rongzhi.
Ever since she saw Qi Rongzhi, she had been deeply displeased. She was just a vain woman who wanted to get closer to her. Mrs. Xingguo didn't see this kind of woman often, so she really couldn't arouse her interest.
But right now, that’s all it can do!
"It's best for Madam to think so. The old slave originally wanted to persuade Madam to find someone else. Since this Miss Qi lives in the Qin Mansion, it makes sense for Madam to go to the Qin Mansion. Although this Miss Qi It's not good, but at least there's no stain on your reputation, so it's okay to be raised in the mansion!" Grandma Sheng thought for a while and told the truth.
After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Mrs. Xingguo would not understand, so he lowered his voice and said implicitly: "Just now, Mr. Xingguo asked the old slave to persuade the lady more, saying that there is something about the lady... maybe she is wrong!"
It's okay not to say this. As soon as she mentioned it, Mrs. Xingguo's eyebrows sharpened and she sneered again and again: "What did he mean? Wrong? Didn't he just talk about the set of plates? Originally, this was also a good thing. Who knew Di's family? He and Mrs. Yong-combo are both useless, and they can’t even do such a small thing!”
Mrs. Xingguo was also very angry when she talked about this matter. Everyone knew that this kind of matter could be solved privately. She didn't really want to punish Qin Wanru, she just wanted to get a handle on the Qin family. , she can even blackmail the old lady and Qin Huaiyong about some things and make her shut up forever!
This kind of thing has no impact on Qin Huaiyong's career. Even if Qin Huaiyong has doubts, it won't matter. Besides, he can also throw out another good friend to Qin Huaiyong. If Qin Huaiyong really swallows everything, she even You can also promise to give Qin Huaiyong's only daughter some benefits so that she will no longer be at a disadvantage when she marries Yong Kangbo Mansion.
But now, because of the failure of Mrs. Di and Mrs. Yong-combo, this matter has not happened.
Not only did it fail, but it also reached the ears of Duke Xingguo. For this reason, Duke Xingguo reminded her again and again, and even made a big fuss in her room. Every time she thought of this matter, Mrs. Xingguo Gong became so angry that her mouth was filled with smoke.
It's all these two stupid people, Mrs. Di and Mrs. Yong-comber, who have caused trouble!
"Take the box of beads and give the other four gifts to Qi Rongzhi, and find time to arrange for her to enter the Xingguo Duke's mansion and find a yard for her to live in. This box of beads will be sent to Qin Wanru." Mrs. Xingguo Duke said deeply. He took a deep breath and suppressed the annoyance in his heart.
"Madam, that's your favorite pearl. It's for the eldest lady!" Aunt Sheng exclaimed.
"Give it to her first, she is... more important now!" Mrs. Xingguo sneered and said softly, now, she really takes this matter to heart!
Originally it was just a casual chess game, but as a bonus, she still didn't believe she would miss, "Go to Qin Yuru's place again and get a pair of earrings as a gift!"
When the news that Duke Xingguo's wife wanted to adopt Qi Rongzhi as her adopted daughter reached the Qin Mansion, the whole manor was shocked. No one expected that the outcome would be like this.
Mrs. Xingguo's intention was very obvious that day, and she bluntly rejected Qi Rongzhi. Why did she suddenly change her mind now? Although the old lady did not want Qin Wanru to become Mr. Xingguo's adopted daughter, she was still very surprised by what was happening at the moment. Qin Wanru was specially called to Xinningyuan.
After being enlightened, Qin Wanru was afraid that if she couldn't think about it for a while, she would be just a child after all. Although she didn't want to, she might not be able to forgive her face.
Qin Wanru didn't feel disappointed at all. She comforted the old lady with a smile, coaxing the old lady to smile, and then brought Yu Jie back.
The fact that this matter went so smoothly really made Qin Wanru feel a little strange, but it also gave Qin Wanru more and more evidence that there was someone behind Qi Tianyu, and he was also a person with real power in the capital. There are not many people like her who can't find anything to check.
Qin Wanru had a vague plan in his mind, and he planned all these suspicious people together.
He stood still and looked at the plum blossoms that had just bloomed on the branch. The smile on his lips was cold. In the last life, what he saw was what others wanted him to see.
The tip of the iceberg, what is slowly revealed in this life is the truth!
A fact that is more severe than the death of being cut in half in his previous life.
Tearing away all the false veils, she wanted to see the truth clearly in this life. It would never be the same as in the previous life, where the injustice of death was not only unexplained, but also inexplicable.
"Second Miss Qin!" On the road behind the plum tree, a group of three maids turned around. The first maid knew at first glance that she was a big maid. She had an extraordinary bearing. When she saw Qin Wanru, she stepped forward with a smile and saluted generously. .
This look actually looks a bit familiar!
