Chapter 38: Suspicion

The weather was good the next day. Qin got up early. She sat in front of the dressing mirror and watched Lizhi comb her hair. While opening the jewelry box, she picked out a plum blossom, gem, and gold hairpin.

"I'm going to insert this branch today, the color is brighter, and I shouldn't have inserted those plain white jade hairpins every day."

"Yes." Lizhi agreed with a smile, inserted the plum blossom gold hairpin between her hair bun, and said softly: "Madam should have thought this long ago. Look at the person in the mirror, how beautiful it is."

"So what if you're beautiful? A woman can't get her husband's favor, but she's just a self-admiration."

Qin sighed. Lizhi didn't expect that his master was still very happy just now, but now he became sad. He also said sadly: "I just don't accept it, grandma, she and my grandma are childhood sweethearts, and they are in love with each other; but who can compare with you except Aunt Xin? Even Aunt Xin is just a fair match for your wife. Why do you spoil her like that? Just because she has been in Qingliang Pavilion for several years, do you play hard to get?"

"Enough, let others hear it, and they think I am jealous of my sister." Mrs. Qin said lightly: "Little do you know that things in the world have their own fate. Even if I am as beautiful as a fairy and have no fate with you, he will not look down on you, let alone I am not that beautiful."

After saying that, he smiled and said, "I have been unable to see anything for so many years? Although I am not favored by my master, now I have a capable and cool sister. It is better not to be as lonely as before."

Then he said sadly: "But I am afraid that I will be too close to her and will implicate her. The princess must be annoyed to her."

Lizhi smiled and said, "Tell me to see. If Aunt Xin cares about the attitude of the princess and grandma, she will not accept the hot potatoes given by her master. Besides, in Qingliangyuan, the princess and Aunt Xin almost broke up. What else can my wife have to worry about?"

As the master and servant talked, Qin dressed up. At this time, someone reported outside: "Aunt Gu is here."

Qin's body stiffened and he said slowly: "Let her come in."

A moment later, Aunt Gu walked in alone. As soon as she stepped over the threshold, she knelt down with a plop, knocked to the ground with one head, and cried bitterly: "I am guilty of a maid and I beg my wife to punish me."

"I have told Sister Xin that I will not punish you anymore, so as not to make you feel sad in the future."

Qin said lightly: "Get up. Sister Xin has said a lot of good things to you here. I know you have no choice but to harm me. So this time I will give you a chance, hoping that you can reform yourself. If you do such a silly thing in the future, I will not spare you."

"Yes, the great kindness of the wife, and the maid and concubine are the ones who are in the five inner world."

"I said everything, Sister Xin pleads for you. If you want to thank her, you should thank her."

Qin still had a gentle voice, and after that, he said to Lizhi: "Go and fetch water and wash Aunt Gu's face. When someone saw this, he thought I had bullied her."

Aunt Gu thanked Qin again, washed her face in the basin, and was wiping it with a towel, but when he heard another report outside: "Grandma and several aunts came here to pay their respects to her wife."

The few people in the room were stunned. Qin laughed at himself, "It's really the sun that comes out from the west. Why do I remember that I am the wife? Well, since that's the case, let's meet them all."

After saying that, Aunt Gu hurriedly came to help her, but saw Qin shook his head and said, "What do you think about this? For the sake of peace and prosperity in the future, it is better not to get close to me. If you have any difficulties in the future, go find Aunt Xin. After this, you should know at least, and understand who can entrust and who can't rely on it."

Aunt Gu didn't expect Qin to let her go so easily, and when she thought of this, she felt very grateful for her for a moment, and she shed tears again. She quickly wiped it with a veil and followed Qin out.

At that time, Liao and others were waiting in the main hall. When they saw Aunt Gu behind Qin, Aunt Feng and Aunt Qiu were stunned. Only Xin Nian knew it in her heart and glanced at Liao inadvertently. Sure enough, she looked dark, but she soon recovered.

"The weather is good today, so let's see my sister. I just said we came early. Unexpectedly, Aunt Gu arrived earlier than us. When did you care about your wife so much?"

Xin Nian noticed that the changes in Liao were not the only ones. Aunt Qiu smiled as soon as she sat down. With Liao's support, her words were almost ridiculed and implicit.

Qin Shi was a little angry. Aunt Qiu was too disgusted with her, so she looked at her and said lightly: "Speak well, are you here not to care about me? Why did you come?"

Aunt Qiu was so choked that she couldn't speak. She was secretly surprised in her heart. She didn't know what medicine she had taken wrong when her wife, who had always been weak, and her grandmother was still here, why did she dare to choke on herself?

Liao also noticed the changes in Qin's family, and his eyes flashed with hatred, but smiled and said, "We are all here to pay our respects to our sister, so we are naturally concerned about you, but I didn't expect that Aunt Gu would do better than us in this regard. Everyone should learn from her in the future."

Aunt Gu's face turned red with shame, and then pale again. When she looked at Aunt Qiu, she saw that she showed a smug look on her face. It was obvious that she said it on purpose, in order to arouse a rift between herself and Liao. She had indeed achieved her wish.

Xin Nian held the teacup and silently observed the undercurrents in the small hall, and said to herself: It’s a pity that only Aunt Qiu, why didn’t Aunt Feng speak? It’s still a bit short of time. Although Liao was mean, he was not a fool. Now he was just suspicious. If she wanted to make her truly hysterical, she had to add some firewood to get rid of Aunt Gu and get over it. For nothing, I can only do this by myself. Aunt Qiu, Aunt Feng’s weight is not enough.

After she thought silently, Aunt Feng finally joined the battle group. She spoke with Aunt Qiu and pointed her finger at Aunt Gu and sent it out. Aunt Gu reluctantly argued a few times, and the more she thought about it, the more she became discouraged. Finally, she simply closed her mouth and let them say it.

Seeing Aunt Gu showing a tendency to give up, Xin Nian raised her eyebrows and said to herself: This person's heat is almost the same.

Because he put down the teacup, he said leisurely: "What are the two sisters doing? The wife is still here, you are just talking nonsense, not afraid of quarreling to the wife's headache. Sister Gu just came earlier. What a great sin? Is this a shameful crime? You are here to criticize her insults and scold her."

"What are sister Xin saying? We are praising Aunt Gu's gentleness and considerateness. Where did you swear her? You can't label us."

Aunt Qiu immediately turned her finger. As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Qin say coldly: "Enough. You came here to pay my respects to me. Now you have seen it. I'm pretty good, so please go back. Go back in Sister Liao's house, you can make arguing as much as you want. She is more patient than me, and her body is stronger than me, so she won't be so annoyed."
