On the next day, Qin Yuan sat in front of the dresser and dressed up exquisitely, when Zhang Dehai came in and said, "Master, the sedan chair is ready for you." Qin Yuan looked at herself in the mirror carefully, then got up with a satisfied smile and said, "Let's go, let's go to Cao's Mansion to pick up the eldest lady back." ”

Zhang Dehai led the way in front, Dye Shuang and Yuru followed closely behind, and Dye Shuang whispered in the back, "Master, let's go to Cao Mansion to pick up the eldest lady in person, isn't it a little inappropriate." Qin Yuan said disapprerovingly, "I told the old lady this morning, what else is wrong, now take the eldest lady over, and this concubine will have a chance to start." ”

Everyone came to the door, Qin Yuan got into the sedan chair, and walked for a while before arriving at Cao's Mansion, Dye Shuang stepped forward and knocked on the door, only to see a servant open the door, looking at the strange crowd, "May I ask how many people are?" ”

Frost Shan smiled and said, "Inform your master that Xianggui Concubine Niangniang has come to visit." ”

The servant was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "The slave knocked on the concubine Huigui." Qin Yuan smiled softly, "Calm down, can your family be in the house?" After the servant got up, he replied in a proper manner, "Lord Cao entered the palace early in the morning, and he has not returned yet. ”

"Then your Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Xue are here, right?" , The servant nodded, "Back to Hui Gui Niangniang's words, it's all there, Hui Gui Concubine Niangniang please." ”

The servant raised his hand to invite Qin Yuan into the mansion in a proper manner, Qin Yuan then walked in with a soft smile, and the servant hurriedly took Qin Yuan to the front hall, bowed down and said, "I'm tired of Hui Gui Niangniang, wait a minute, the slave will go and ask the lady to come out." Qin Yuan then smiled and nodded, and the servant retreated.

Qin Yuan surrounds the front hall, which is completely different from her own Wu family, after all, it is a scholarly family, whether it is from the furniture decoration or the furnishing style, there is a faint clerical heritage.

At this time, I saw a middle-aged woman in a dark pink gauze skirt walking in, followed by the eldest lady, who had not seen her for two months, and the eldest lady had lost a lot of weight, and then Mrs. Cao and the eldest lady saluted in a proper manner, "The concubine asks for peace to Huigui Concubine, and Huigui Concubine Niangniang has good night." ”

Qin Yuan smiled softly, "Madame doesn't need to be polite, let's sit down quickly." ”

After the two got up and sat down, Mrs. Cao opened her mouth first, "The concubine didn't know that Hui Gui and Concubine Niangniang came to the door, so it was really a long way to go." Qin Yuan smiled disapplausively, "It's all your own family, why are you so polite." Bi Qinyuan looked at the eldest lady on the side, only to see that the eldest lady looked at Qin Yuan with a slightly nervous face at this time, it seemed that she had some scruples about last night's incident, and with the wit of the eldest lady, she naturally guessed that Qin Yuan did it.

At this time, Mrs. Cao said, "I don't know why Concubine Hui came here?" Qin Yuan smiled faintly, pretending to be embarrassed and said, "The eldest lady has been out of the house for two months, and my father was really wronged by the eldest lady in anger at that time, after all, the Cao Mansion is also an official eunuch, how can there be a reason to let the married woman go back to her mother's house, and it is naturally damaging to her face when it is rumored that she will go, and this concubine saw that her father's anger was almost gone, so she discussed it with the old lady this morning, and planned to take the eldest lady back." ”

Without waiting for Mrs. Cao to speak, the eldest lady preemptively said, "Doesn't the general know what to do at this time?" At present, if the concubine follows the mother back to the house, I am afraid that the lord will be angry. Qin Yuan comforted, "What are you afraid of with this concubine to support you?" ”

"Concubine Hui doesn't understand the lord's temper, even if the lord doesn't get angry in front of you, he will be angry with the concubine in private."

Qin Yuan knew that this was the eldest lady's excuse, and then smiled lightly, "No matter what, you are now a member of the Xue family, do you want to continue to stay in the Cao Mansion?" ”

Mrs. Cao smiled at this time, "It's better to wait for General Xue's meaning, after all, ......"

"Smack!" , Before Mrs. Cao finished speaking, Qin Yuan raised her hand angrily and slapped it on the table, her eyes were full of anger, because Qin Yuan's mood changed too quickly, which made Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Cao a little surprised for a while, Qin Yuan said angrily, "This concubine rushed to the house to pick up the eldest lady back, what do you mean by this excuse?" This concubine is thinking about the overall situation, and she is worried about the face of our two families! ”

Seeing that Qin Yuan was angry, Mrs. Cao was a little nervous for a while and said, "Don't be angry, the concubine is just ......."

"Don't just do it! This concubine doesn't have so much temperament to consume with you, if it weren't for the old lady's persuasion, do you think this concubine would come? Today, the eldest lady will have a happy word whether to go or not. ”

Qin Yuan decisively interrupted Mrs. Cao's words, sat on the wooden chair with a serious face, her high and bulging abdomen was particularly conspicuous, Mrs. Cao naturally couldn't afford to offend Qin Yuan, and then turned her head to look at the eldest lady and ordered, "You shameless thing, what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go pack up your things and go back!" ”

The eldest lady looked at Mrs. Cao family in some surprise for a while, even if she was unwilling, she still got up slowly and walked out, at this time Mrs. Cao said with a smile, "Concubine Hui, don't be angry, the little girl is not sensible, and she is annoyed that Concubine Hui has wronged her golden body." Qin Yuan glanced at her with a little displeasure and said, "It doesn't matter, after all, the eldest lady was sent back to Cao Mansion because of her concubine, and now this concubine takes the eldest lady back to the house, and the eldest lady is also very face-saving in the mansion, but this concubine hopes that the eldest lady can know how to lift up." ”

"Yes, yes, Concubine Hui is right."

After a lot of effort, the doctor walked out slowly, Qin Yuan was already impatient to wait, and hurriedly got up and walked out, Mrs. Cao took the opportunity to whisper a few words beside the eldest lady, and the eldest lady followed out of the house and returned to Xue Mansion in a sedan chair with a reluctant face.

When she arrived at Xue Mansion, Qin Yuan said indifferently to the eldest lady, "Let's go to the old lady with this concubine." When the eldest lady answered, she followed behind Qin Yuan, and when Qin Yuan entered the cabinet, she saw that the old lady was sitting on the soft couch, and hurriedly said with a smile, "The old lady will see who is back?" ”

When the old lady heard this, she saw that the eldest lady only bowed her head slightly when she returned home, and her tone was a little reproachful, "It's good to be back, you can't be reckless in the future, you have to remember it for a long time if you suffer such a big loss this time." The eldest lady blessed her body and said, "Yes, follow the old lady's teachings." At this moment, the eldest lady was suspicious, according to Qin Yuan's meaning, the old lady should be looking forward to her return, why is she so indifferent now?

At this time, Qin Yuan sat down next to the old lady, took the old lady's hand and said, "The eldest lady has finally returned to the house now, so don't blame the eldest lady." The old lady smiled with relief, "It's still Yuan'er who knows the general situation, and knows which is more important." ”

The eldest lady looked at Qin Yuan's smiling appearance at the moment, and immediately understood Qin Yuan's intentions, her face was full of seriousness, thinking about the two corpses hanging in front of the door when she opened the door this morning, the hairs on her back couldn't help but stand up, and at this moment, she actually felt that Qin Yuan even laughed with murderous aura.

At this time, Qin Yuan said with a smile, "Old lady, Yuan'er will take the eldest lady back, so as not to make irresponsible remarks." The old lady smiled and nodded, "You are pregnant now, and it is inconvenient to hold your stomach, so send her back to the bedroom, you can go back to rest." ”

Qin Yuan responded with a smile, then got up and said with a smile to the eldest lady, "The eldest lady, let's go." The eldest lady didn't speak, and followed behind Qin Yuan indifferently.

When she arrived at the eldest lady's bedroom, the eldest lady said with a serious face, "Concubine Hui doesn't need to be so hypocritical, Ming people don't say secret words, the concubine has no grievances with you, why do you need to treat the concubine like this?" Seeing the eldest lady's attitude, Qin Yuan immediately curled the corners of her mouth and smiled, and said in an extremely indifferent tone, "This concubine doesn't want to do anything, she just wants to tell the eldest lady that the Xue family does not welcome the new hostess." ”

The eldest lady frowned slightly, "The concubine doesn't ask for anything else, she just wants to spend her life in Xue Mansion, can't Concubine Hui tolerate concubines like this?" What did the concubine do wrong? ”

The corners of Qin Yuan's mouth raised indifferently, and she sneered, "There is nothing else to ask for?" Since you entered the Xue Mansion, you have tried every means to flatter and hook your father, deliberately curry favor with the old lady, and squeeze the second lady, is there nothing else to ask for? Do you want to spend your life in peace? This concubine is just helping the second lady, just point to the point, but you shouldn't instruct Qingqiu to seduce the emperor, and you shouldn't partner with your father to calculate this concubine! You don't seem to know the temper of this concubine, but this concubine has to admire you now, you can make such an indifferent father fall so fond of you, it's really amazing. ”

The eldest lady tightened her fists and roared, "Concubine Hui, the concubine knows that she can't fight you, you say, what do you have to do before you are satisfied!" Qin Yuan smiled disappreciatively, and said in an indifferent tone, "This concubine wants the Xue family to change back to the original master, and this concubine wants you to pay for it!" ”

Then Qin Yuan snorted coldly and ignored the eldest lady, and when she walked through the garden when she left the bedroom, Qin Yuan instructed Zhang Dehai, "Zhang Dehai, you go to the second lady and tell her that the Xue family only allows one hostess, and the concubine gives her five days, and she and the eldest lady can only live one!" Zhang Dehai responded instantly, and then turned to leave.

At this time, Qin Yuan saw her father walking towards her not far away, and the corners of her mouth instantly rose indifferently.
