Chapter 324 A Gift that Favors One over the Other

"Madam, this is a gift from the Grand Madam to Miss Qi!" After Grandma Yu stepped forward to present the gift to Madam Xingguo, she took out a brocade box from a maid behind her, opened it, and handed it over.

Several ladies nearby looked over. They saw a pair of crystal clear jade bracelets. They were very beautiful. It was obvious that they must be high-quality products. However, such high-quality products were nothing to the wife of the Duke of Xingguo. They did not even look at them. Especially precious.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to the brocade box in the hand of another maid.

"Not much, thank you, Mrs. Xingguo!" Mrs. Xingguo smiled and asked the maid to take the brocade box and pass it to Chunyi, who was following Qi Rongzhi. Chunyi took it carefully and stepped aside.

"Thank you, Madam Tai, for the gift!" Qi Rongzhi gave a gift and said happily. She never thought that she had such a great blessing. Not only did she win the green eyes of Mrs. Xingguo, she even sent gifts to her in front of so many guests. Face, this is a very honorable thing.

"There is another gift that Mrs. Tai intended to give to the eldest lady of Qin Mansion. Madam Tai said that she feels that she has a special destiny with this eldest lady of Qin Mansion!" After receiving a gift from her master, Grandma Yu continued to talk to her. Duke Xingguo said.

This is very surprising. The eldest lady of the Qin family? Everyone's eyes turned away involuntarily and landed behind Mrs. Qin. The previous farce made many people aware of Qin Yuru and Qin Wanru.

"Mrs. Mrs. wants to give Miss Qin a reward?" Mrs. Xingguo Gong asked with interest, "When did Mrs. Tai see Miss Qin?"

"Just now, Mrs. Qin met Miss Qin. Mrs. Qin felt that she was particularly friendly with Miss Qin, so she left her to say a few words. After that, she felt that they were particularly close to each other, so she asked the old slave to give Miss Qi a gift. When I arrive, I will also give Miss Qin a gift so that she can come to Duke Xingguo’s Mansion to talk to Mrs. Tai in the future!”

Aunt Yu smiled and explained the cause and effect of the matter. For a moment, there were many ladies from the aristocratic family who secretly regretted it. Why were they not so lucky to meet the wife of Duke Xingguo? If they met, they would definitely make the lady of Xingguo Palace think that they were kind and compatible.

Several ladies looked at Qin Yuru with jealous eyes, wondering why she was so lucky that the Tai Furen fell in love with her and asked her to visit the Xingguo Duke's mansion frequently in the future.

"Since it is Mrs. Tai's wish, then you should send Miss Qin behind Mrs. Qin!" Mrs. Xingguo Gong smiled and nodded, and pointed slightly with her hand.

Aunt Yu turned around with a smile and walked towards Mrs. Qin with another maid. Qi Rongzhi's smile was a little stiff. Today was a good day for her, but now she has become someone else's foil.

Staring blankly, he watched Aunt Yu turn to Qin Yuru with everyone's attention, the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn. Qin Yuruo was really jealous that she became the adopted daughter of Mrs. Xingguo, but he didn't expect her to move so quickly. Attracted the attention of Mrs. Xingguo!

Aunt Yu went over and bowed to Mrs. Qin. Mrs. Qin hurriedly stood up and turned aside. Although she was only a servant, how could the servants around Mrs. Xingguo's mansion be looked down upon by ordinary people!

"Mrs. Qin, this is a gift from our wife to Miss Qin!" Nanny Yu smiled and reached out to open the brocade box in the hand of another maid behind her. There was also a pair of jade bracelets inside.

Looking at this pair of jade bracelets, everyone's expressions became strange. Even though the pair of jade bracelets worn by Qi Rongzhi before were also of high quality, compared with this pair of blood jade bracelets, they were immediately downgraded by several grades. They were clearly incomparable. of.

Some people turned their attention from Qin Yuru to Qi Rongzhi, and some thoughtful ladies thought that their good son could actually get married to the Qin family. I wonder if Miss Qin is engaged.

Qin Yuru picked up the corner of her skirt and bowed, her posture extremely dignified and steady: "Thank you, Madam!"

"You're so polite, Miss Qin. Madam, please come and talk to her more often when you have nothing to do. She said she really likes talking to you!" Aunt Yu handed the brocade box in her hand to Mei Xue, her attitude became more and more polite and affectionate.

"Yes!" Qin Yuru became more and more submissive.

Aunt Yu glanced at Qin Yuru with satisfaction, then returned to Mrs. Xingguo. After saying a few words to Mrs. Xingguo, she left with the two maids.

During this period, he didn't even look at the other people around Qin Yuru.

Qin Wanru helped the old lady sit down again, and her eyes slid over the face of the nun who was said to be the wife of the Duke of Xingguo. There was a cold look in her eyes. She didn't expect it to be her. What a surprise!

She was young, and what happened just now had nothing to do with her. Mrs. Qin was standing in front of her, and the nanny was focused on Qin Yuru, but she didn't notice herself. Her watery eyes slid past Aunt Yu. The back view of the deceased, with a thoughtful look in his eyes...

"Second sister, second sister!" Qin Yuru's voice suddenly came to her ears, and Qin Wanru slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at Qin Yuru.

"Second sister, what are you looking at? Could it be that you are looking at the nanny next to Mrs. Tai?" Qin Yuru said with a proud smile.

"The eldest sister is very close to the wife of Duke Xingguo?" Qin Wanru said calmly.

"Of course we've hit it off. I didn't expect that the Madam of Xingguo Duke's Mansion would be such a kind lady. She was so gentle when she spoke to me just now." Qin Yuru showed off.

"I am indeed destined to be my eldest sister!" Qin Wanru said to Hu Yan.

"Second sister, if you were with me just now, you would definitely be rewarded by the Madam." Qin Yuru said with a smile.

A trace of disgust flashed in Qin Wanru's eyes. Although the two of them clearly disliked each other, Qin Yuru still wanted to show her sisterly affection in front of others. In fact, she only wanted to kill herself and was vicious in her heart.

"Sister, stop talking, others are paying attention to us!" Qin Wanru lowered her voice.

With one word, Qin Yuru's face turned red and she was extremely embarrassed. The ladies who originally didn't feel any difference when they heard her speak like this looked at her with a somewhat confused gaze.

Misses from aristocratic families are very particular about being knowledgeable and courteous. It is extremely undesirable to be so happy and cheerful, even showing off with a bit of pride.

The next banquet officially began. Everyone went to another flower hall and the banquet began.

The people who came to the meeting today were basically all female relatives, but there were also some men who accompanied the female relatives in the mansion. Duke Xingguo greeted them outside, but the men and women were different and did not have a banquet together.

Qin Wanru accompanied Mrs. Qin and Shui Ruolan at a banquet nearby. Qin Yuru was called by Mrs. Xingguo and sat at the table in front with Qi Rongzhi.

Without Qin Yuru by her side, Mrs. Qin lowered her voice and asked Qin Wanru, "What happened to your eldest sister just now? Why did the Madam of Xingguo Duke's Mansion suddenly feel that she was in love with her?"

The old lady knew very well what kind of person her eldest granddaughter was. She didn't think Mrs. Xingguo would fall in love with Qin Yuru at first sight, and she liked her so much that even Qi Rongzhi was suppressed.

The most important person in today's banquet is Qi Rongzhi, but because of Mrs. Tai's trouble, it seems that even Qi Rongzhi has stepped in for Qin Yuru.

"Grandma, there were a lot of scars on the eldest sister's hands before. It is said that Mrs. Di beat her. I heard that Mrs. Di specially beat the eldest sister, so there are many scars on the eldest sister's body. And she beat the eldest sister again last night. Not only are there bruises on her hands, but also... There are a lot of blood stains and it looks scary!”

Qin Wanru whispered.

"This... what happened last night?" Mrs. Qin said dumbfounded. Although she had heard a few words just now, it was not true. She never had the chance to ask. After hearing the whole story clearly, she almost didn't believe herself. "Di's ears beat Yuru so hard?"

Even though Di is vicious, she has always been submissive to Qin Yuru. When did she actually hit Qin Yuru, and hit her so hard?

"Isn't this true?" Shui Ruolan also shook her head, she also felt it was not credible.

"Grandma, others are saying that the eldest sister is not Mrs. Di's biological daughter. They say that she was picked up. If she was the biological mother, how could she beat her daughter so hard? But after the eldest sister showed her scars, she didn't say a word to Mrs. Di. Despite her bad words, she has always defended Mrs. Di. Many people think that the eldest sister has a noble character."

Qin Wanru said again, his watery eyes turning calmly, his expression was solemn.

There were some things she couldn't say before, but she could say them now. Now that she had such an opportunity, she wanted to find out more information.

Even if the mother doesn't know, the grandmother will definitely know something. Qin Yuru's incident has slowly torn apart some long-standing veils, and then it will slowly penetrate...

"Picked it up? Who said that?" After hearing this clearly, Mrs. Qin became furious.

"Grandma, please lower your voice. Everyone is guessing this, not just one person!" Qin Wanru gently pulled Mrs. Qin's hand to comfort her.

"No matter who picked it up, it is impossible for Yuru to pick it up. Mrs. Di would like to give the entire Qin Mansion to Yu Ru as a dowry. Even if something happens to the entire Qin Mansion, she will not let anything happen to Qin Yuru!" Mrs. Qin said coldly. He snorted.

"Grandma, my father said before that the Yong-Kangbo Mansion wanted to shorten the eldest sister's age by two years, saying it was for the eldest sister's reputation. Now some people say that the eldest sister was picked up. Is there any connection between this?" Qin Wanru The willow eyebrows frowned slightly, with a tangled look on his face.

These were two things that didn't sound related. If Qin Wanru hadn't put the two things together, the old lady wouldn't have thought of anything even if she knew about it. At this time, she couldn't help but follow Qin Wanru's train of thought and think more about it. Then suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred, his face changed drastically, and he almost fell down as he swayed.

Qin Wanru hurriedly reached out to support the old lady and shouted in a low voice: "Grandma!"

He put his hand on the old lady's pulse and probed it. When he found out that it was just the palpitations caused by fright, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Grandma, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, let's have a meal!" The old lady suppressed the shock in her heart and lowered her voice. No one except Qin Wanru noticed that her hands were shaking slightly...
