Chapter 256 She Wants to Know the Truth
"Yes, I took a lot. The eldest lady's behavior is really strange!" Qingyue said in surprise.
"What pastries did you get?" Qin Wanru asked, her eyes darkening.
"The ones I got are all ordinary ones, and I got some of the ones cooked in the big kitchen. The mother-in-law said that the eldest lady wanted to write and was hungry quickly, so she asked the people in the big kitchen to get some of everything!" Qingyue thought. thought for a while.
"You want everything?" Qin Wanru frowned. This matter seemed extremely complicated.
"Yes, I need everything, and I need a lot of it. There are a few things that I can't make much. The steward of the big kitchen even explained a few things to my mother-in-law." Qingyue joined the big kitchen later, saying that she was a substitute. Qin Wanru stewed the bird's nest porridge. Because the bird's nest porridge was not ready yet, he stayed in the kitchen and waited for a while.
Therefore, the whole audience listened openly.
"What does it mean that there are not many things done?" Qin Wanru paused for a moment and then caught the vague meaning of Qingyue's words.
"Actually, it's not that there aren't many, it's just that there aren't many left. There are some that Miss Qi likes to eat, and they have been sent to the kitchen. There aren't many left. Even if Miss Qi wants more, they are gone. , this is what the lady in charge of the kitchen explained to the lady next to the eldest lady!"
The pastries that Qi Rongzhi ate? Qin Wanru's heart moved!
"What happened next?"
"Since it's gone, but the eldest lady said she wanted to eat it, the chef said she would cook some for the eldest lady later!" Qingyue said, no matter how bad Qin Yuru's reputation is outside, she is still the eldest lady in the house, and now outside There are rumors that the second young lady is not the general’s biological child, so the only biological child is the eldest young lady. The servants in the house don’t dare to offend Qin Yuru too much!
"Are they all the ones Qi Rongzhi likes to eat?"
"Yes, it's just those kinds. The quantity of those kinds is not enough, so I specially made some more!" Qingyue said.
Qin Wanru nodded, picked up the bird's nest porridge that Qingyue had just brought, took a few mouthfuls, and then put down the spoon in his hand: "Do I have another bird's nest porridge in the afternoon?"
Shui Ruolan was worried that Qin Wanru would be too young if she only used bird's nest to make up for it, so she asked the kitchen to stew some bird's nest porridge for her from time to time.
"Yes!" Qingyue nodded.
"Bring me a piece of fresh pastry when the time comes. It doesn't have to be too much, just one or two pieces!" She wanted to see what Qin Yuru had in mind.
It is certain that Qin Yuru has bad intentions, but what Qin Yuru likes most is to frame blame. If she said who she most wants to frame blame for in this house, it goes without saying that she must be at the top.
"Yes, miss, I understand!" Qingyue nodded with understanding.
While the two were talking, Yujie opened the curtain and walked in angrily.
Looking at her face, Qin Wanru burst out laughing: "What's going on?"
Yujie had just gone out for her to see how the preparations for Aunt Dong's shop were, but she came back angry after seeing this.
"Miss, everyone is talking about things in our house!" Yu Jie said angrily.
"So what? Is it possible that we shouldn't talk about this?" Qin Wanru said with a smile, not caring at all.
"But...but they are talking about you, young lady!" Yujie looked dissatisfied. She had been following Qin Wanru since she came down the mountain. She was very loyal to Qin Wanru and would not listen to bad things about Qin Wanru.
"What are you afraid of? The more you say, the better!" Qin Wanru stood up, walked to the window, and opened the slightly closed window. Immediately, a gust of cold wind rushed in, making Qingyue shiver.
Qin Wanru was also very cold and shivering, but no matter how cold it was, she would not stay in a corner of the yard like she did in her previous life, almost isolated from the outside world, unable to hear the voices of people outside or feel the outside air!
Talking about her? Great, she was still worried about not having enough momentum! It seems that someone is involved here again. Things in this capital are not trivial. Even a matter between a man and a woman can turn into a game between several forces, and what he wants is that game. The results brought out...
"Miss, don't open the window in this weather, it will freeze you!" Qingyue came over and complained, reaching out to close the window for her.
"More and more people are talking about it?" The cold wind suddenly blew on her head. She was a little dizzy, but she was also very awake. She touched her bun that was messed up by the cold wind. Qin Wanru smiled slightly and turned back to ask.
"There seem to be more people than before!" Yu Jie pouted. As she walked over, she heard more and more people talking about this matter. "Miss, it is said that Mrs. Xingguo regarded Miss Qi as her adopted daughter. The matter has been settled, is there anyone still trying to create some kind of enchanting child?"
Qin Wanru shook her head when she asked this question. She really didn't know.
Even though she vaguely knew some important things in her previous life, she didn't know how many people were involved. This kind of thing was far beyond what she, a woman in purdah, would know.
"Don't worry about it. Since this word has spread like this, let's spread it!" Qin Wanru sat down in front of the dressing table. Qingyue skillfully opened her messed up bun and combed it for her again.
The girl in the mirror has a hibiscus face, which is delicate and beautiful. Her delicate lips and pure eyes have an unusual charm. For a moment, Qing Yue, who is used to seeing Qin Wanru's appearance, can't help but be amazed. stand up.
The young lady's face grew longer and longer, and became more and more stunning.
When I was in Jiangzhou before, although I knew that my young lady was beautiful and delicate, compared with the eldest lady and Miss Qi, my lady was still a child who had not grown up and was not too attractive. But this will happen. In the capital, the looks of the eldest lady and Miss Qi are no longer comparable to those of the young lady.
"Miss, this... what will happen if the general hears this?" Yu Jie followed over worriedly and asked.
"If father takes it seriously... then take it seriously!" Qin Wanru said with an unclear look in her eyes. She wanted to know her life experience. She really wanted to know that there happened to be such a rumor now, and there were many people behind it. Of course, she hoped that it would spread more and more. The more the merrier.
She wants to know the truth!
And this truth is difficult to obtain without external force, and the current incident of Qi Rongghi is a good excuse. Qi Tianyu's participation will make this matter as big as possible. Then, next, I want to discover the original secret, It shouldn’t be that difficult!
"Miss, are you...are you..." Yujie's face turned red and it was a little difficult to speak.
This is not what a maid like her should ask.
"Is it... I don't know..." Qin Wanru sighed, her voice like smoke, "Just wait and see!"
If things are like this, her father and grandmother will give her an explanation no matter what, and she is waiting for this explanation now to see if this explanation can confirm her conjecture...
"How are those people doing?" Since these things were just conjectures, and Qin Wanru had not verified whether they were true, she didn't want to talk about it for the time being, so she changed the topic and asked.
"Are those people in the yard over there who were brought back and imprisoned by the general?" Yu Jie was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately, and reported the report with a straight face.
"Yes, no one went to see them?" Qin Wanru asked again.
"No one. Aunt Yu said before that no one came." Yu Jie shook her head. Although Aunt Yu sent people to keep an eye on this matter, the matter would be reported to Qin Wanru through Yu Jie from time to time.
"Let's go take a look!" Qin Wanru turned her head and said after looking at her bun in the mirror.
"Miss, you can't go. The ones guarding the people this time are the general's guards. No one is allowed to visit!" Yu Jie hurriedly stopped her.
The courtyard was very tightly guarded, and even if Yujie wanted to get close, she couldn't.
"So tight?" Qin Wanru raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, it's very tight!" Yu Jie nodded.
"Is there any way in?"
"There is nothing I can do!" Yujie shook her head helplessly. She had gone to see him several times before, but she really couldn't do anything.
"Has mother gone to see her?" Qin Wanru thought for a while and asked.
"Mrs. Shui went to see her once. When she came back, her face turned pale with anger. She hasn't been there since!" Yu Jie had always been staring at people from Di's side before, but she didn't look at Shui's family that time. Counted.
"Since mother has seen it, of course I can go and see it too!" Qin Wanru smiled slightly and stood up, "Let's go see mother first!"
Seeing that she had made up her mind, the two maids stopped trying to persuade her. Qingyue stayed to clean the house, while Yujie accompanied Qin Wanru to Shui Ruolan's yard.
Shui Ruolan was resting in the house. When she heard Qin Wanru coming, she was invited in quickly. Once inside, Qin Wanru saluted and asked straight to the point: "Mother, how many people did father bring here?" , are you from your previous family?"
Shui Ruolan was stunned for a moment, her face looked a little unhappy, and she hesitated and asked, "How did you know?"
"I heard from the two wives in the house that they seem to be the people around the eldest sister!" Qin Wanru said. Di and the people around her were locked up. However, Qin Yuru's punishment was not as severe as Di's. Even if she herself If you don’t come out, people around you can still come in and out.
Hearing this, Shui Ruolan's face turned red and she was a little angry: "Did you say something bad about me again?"
"I didn't say that. I just said that these people are related to mother. Mother, can I go and have a look?" Qin Wanru said bluntly.
"What are you going to do?" Shui Ruolan frowned and said, "Younger's family, don't worry about those things. Mother and your father will take care of it."
"Mom, I'm not old anymore, I will help you to relieve your worries. Do you really have this kind of skill when so many people come from thousands of miles away? Mother, doesn't you think it's too easy to investigate these people?" Qin Wanru reminded, He reached out and took Shui Ruolan's hand and shook it, "Mom, there are some things you can't ask, but I can ask."
Shui Ruolan was the person involved, and she was also remarried. Her former husband's family was chasing her. There were some things that she was really inconvenient to ask about, but she didn't feel at ease if she didn't ask. She was afraid that Qin Huaiyong would ask about something, but Qin Huaiyong had recently I was so busy that I didn't have time to deal with the affairs of these people. On the other hand, I also felt that since these people had entered the Qin Mansion, they couldn't escape, so there was no rush.
"But you are still young..." Although she knew Qin Wanru was suitable, Shui Ruolan was still hesitant.
"Mother, I can really help you!" Qin Wanru looked at Shui Ruolan with a sincere face and said, her voice as soft as a feather, "And mother can also help me!"
