Chapter 042: Planning
Chu Xinyu suddenly stopped after hearing Zi Ling's words, and a smile appeared on her fair and innocent face: "Zi Ling, are you caring about me? But don't worry, although she is the mistress of the Hou Mansion, she can't control my marriage."
Last night, Lan Yi reminded her that she was the father's original wife's daughter, and Yuan was just her stepmother. How could she let Yuan's marriage be assigned casually? Besides, she also had an aunt who loved her and would definitely not let Yuan do whatever she wanted, so she refused Yuan without fear.
Zi Ling was stunned for a moment, her ears were slightly hot. In fact, her concern was selfish. Seeing the fifth girl's eyes flashing, as if she knew everything she was thinking, Zi Ling felt even more ashamed.
Lai Yilan has only been a few days since Xiaozhu. The girl is not bad to her. She shouldn't have such thoughts. Moreover, after observation over the past few days, the fifth girl is different from the usual maids' discussions. People will change, maybe the situation is not that bad now.
Chu Xinyu walked towards Anshantang. She could understand Zi Ling's concerns. Although she was the legitimate daughter, her father did not care about her biological mother, and her grandmother's concern for her was also a trade-off for profit. She was embarrassed in this family. If she was not careful, she would be doomed. The maid who followed her would have to be worried.
The two of them came to the drooping flower gate of Anshantang. Before they could step in, they saw Yuqin hurried out from inside and almost collided with Chu Xinyu. Fortunately, she did it quickly.
Chu Xinyu said: "Sister Yuqin, what's going on in such a hurry?"
"Just just now, Lang Yuexuan's mother Zhang came to report that the second girl was bitten by a reptile last night, and there were red spots and pustules on her skin, and even traces of ulceration. The old lady asked me to invite Dr. Miao to come and have a look. I won't talk about it for now."
Yuqin was anxious to ask the doctor, so she didn't say much and walked away without saying anything.
Chu Xinyu was puzzled, why would there be crawlers appearing before summer came? Moreover, there was a wind blowing in the middle of the night last night. In this kind of weather, there should be no insects appearing?
Zi Ling said worriedly: "The second girl is about to get married. I wonder if this happens at this time, will it affect you?"
The second girl has always been modest and polite in dealing with people. Compared with the third girl’s cold and taciturn and the sixth girl’s easy-going and kindness, these maids are more willing to get close to the second girl.
Chu Xinyu was also worried, but she said nothing and stepped into the Hanghuamen.
...
After Chu Xinyu left in Qingliyuan, Yuan's face looked very ugly. Qin's mother brought her hot tea again, "Madam, don't be angry, she is just a clown jumping, you are the mistress of the house. As long as you want, there are many ways to control her."
"She never said such words to me before, and she dared to threaten me! She thought that if she knew the girl named Yang, she could ride on my head? It was so naive!" Yuan felt angry when she thought of Chu Xin and Yuli's words.
Mama Qin said: "Miss Five has only been back a few days ago. She actually knows what happened in the court more than two years ago. Who in the mansion dares to gossip in front of her? Except for the girl named Yang, so Madam must stop them from getting in and out."
"So what if she knows?" Yuan slapped the table hard and sneered: "I originally thought she would become smarter this time when she came back, but who knew she was as stupid as before. I thought that using that thing could threaten me not to marry An Xingbo. Then we have to see if she has such ability!"
"It's right!" Qin's mother nodded in agreement: "When the Marquis did not come back, hurry up and settle the marriage that was thorny in the side. As for the old lady, her thoughts have always been difficult to guess. It is recommended not to tell the truth about Master Qi's second son."
Speaking of this Yuan family, he became popular. "I thought so too. I originally thought she would convince the little girl to accept the marriage arranged by her parents, but she actually asked the little girl to consider it. I told her very clearly that day, is the future of the marquis not more important than the marriage of a granddaughter?"
"Since the fifth girl came back, her style of conduct was very different from the past, especially when she first came back, she gave the old lady a very solemn gift to the old lady, perhaps because of this, the old lady was a little indulging in her."
Yuan frowned. She knew about this on the night Chu Xinyu came back, but she didn't care at that time. Now she thought about it, and was quite confused. When did the little girl be so polite? She had never taught her before. She had just sent her to Puling Temple for more than two years, and she had changed so much?
Mama Qin continued: "I heard from Miss Eight that the old lady gave the fifth girl a set of jewelry. This is something I have never seen before. If this continues, the old lady will be happy by her and her impression of her will be changed. She will lose her love for Miss Six and Miss Eight, which may not be beneficial to their future."
Yuan's eyes gradually narrowed. Although the old lady gave some rewards to her grandchildren in the past, she had never been so generous. The jewelry set cost at least a thousand taels of silver. Even Chu Jiapeng, the old lady's favorite, gave her a pullover worth 800 taels and a purple cloak made of fox fur when she was in the hairpin.
The old lady has always made money and is only more generous to her favorite grandchildren. In this way, she is a little different to that little girl.
Yuan looked at Qin's mother with a serious expression and said, "I heard you say this, it seems that my idea of her is simple. If she is prepared for me, this marriage will be difficult to accomplish."
"She is guarding against you, then you have to try it out."
“How to try?”
Mama Qin thought for a while and said, "I have a way to kill two birds with one stone. It can not only test her thoughts about you, but also make you have to agree to this marriage."
After speaking, Qin's mother came to Yuan's ear and whispered a few words. After hearing this, Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. After thinking carefully, she agreed to Qin's mother's plan. She said, "Send someone to notify the Duke of Ying immediately. If she agrees, arrange it today."
