Chapter 121 The Difficult Situation Set by the Marquises’ Mansion of Fengyang
“Huai, is the thing really related to the Marquis of Fengyang?” In the room lit up by candlelight, Old Grandma had not slept yet, frowning and sitting in the chair.
“Yes, the thing is now in the hands of the Marquis of Fengyang, and the Ministry of Personnel cannot give me any tasks temporarily.” Qin Huaiyong remained silent for a moment, his eyes looking very tired.
Being a newcomer in the capital, he was not familiar with everything yet. The most annoying part was that he had arrived in the capital as ordered, but the specific tasks for him had not been decided yet. It was said that his work arrangement was being reviewed by the Marquis of Fengyang. As for how long it would take, it was hard to tell.
“So, you will have to follow Mrs. Qin to attend the banquet of the Marquises’ Mansion of Fengyang?” Old Grandma was a wise woman, and she became clear about his son’s idea after hearing what he said.
“Mother, now this is my only choice,” Qin Huaiyong said, feeling guilty of himself.
“Will Ruolan go or not?” Thinking about it, Old Grandma asked, her eyes with somewhat coldness in the candlelight.
“She had better go in case Mrs. Qin makes new trouble, which can always be connected to the Marquises’ Mansion of Fengyang and I will have to visit the mansion myself.” Qin Huaiyong became even more guilty. As of now, he had seen through Mrs. Qin, but he also knew that some things that he could do in Jiangzhou could not be done in the capital.
Even though he sent the evidence of Mrs. Qin’s crime, some witnesses, and testimonies to Duke Yong’s Mansion, they would not admit what she had done, would even firmly held that others accused her only with an evil wish to frame her, would defend her by claiming that she was so kind and couldn’t have done a thing like that, and would say that the witnesses must have been bribed and the testimonies must be fake.
As for the shameless actions of Duke Yong’s Mansion, Qin Huaiyong was extremely angry. He even considered publicizing the witnesses and testimonies out of anger, but the Duke Yong’s Mansion also insincerely said that although Mrs. Qin had been wrongly accused, they were still reasonable. They had also approved of the position of Shui Ruolan, hoping his two wives could get along well with each other in the future.
They would not meddle in the family affairs that happened in the backyard, and Qin Huaiyong could deal with them himself!
Of course, they had been reminding Qin Huaiyong not to forget that Mrs. Qin was his lawful wife and had given birth to a daughter for him, and they also said that they were willing to build marriage ties with Qin’s mansion.
But if something bad happened to Madam Di, they would be sad and surely unwilling to build such ties.
Their words were with lures and threats. Qin Huaiyong knew what they meant. He was angry, but he could not do anything. Currently, he had no support or relations in the capital, and the evil action Mrs. Qin had done happened in Jiangzhou. Now, it was probable to be falsely countercharged by Duke Yong’s Mansion. Therefore, he had to release Mrs. Qin.
On the other hand, it was certainly also because of Qin Yuru.
Anyway, Qin Yuru was his only daughter, and he did it also because he thought about her future.
“If Ruolan goes, will Mrs. Qin miss the chance to humiliate her?” Old Grandma retorted coldly, her eyes staring at him unhappily. She felt very disappointed.
“This… if she doesn’t go, I can’t predict when Mrs. Qin will connect us to the Marquis of Fengyang again.” Qin Huaiyong heaved a sigh, feeling quite annoyed, and said, “If I had known the situation is like this today, I would not have brought her to the capital and would have sent her to her hometown, and these unexpected problems could have been avoided.”
“So, you mean you must ask her to go?” Old Grandma knitted her brows even tighter, her look falling on Qin Huaiyong like something real fell.
“This…she doesn’t have to if Mrs. Qin agrees!” Qin Huaiyong was also ashamed about what he said.
“What if Mrs. Qin insists Ruolan go? A few days ago, she said she must bring Wanru,” Old Grandma was unsatisfied and said after a cold snort.
“This… everyone should think about the bigger plan. If the most important thing is settled, we will have many opportunities to force Mrs. Qin to stay in the backyard without making any trouble in the future.” Qin Huaiyong flushed somewhat. Even though he had the slowest response, he would have noticed the fury between the words of his mother.
“Mother, don’t worry, I will never poorly treat Ruolan. When everything is settled, the backyard, as well as the entire Qin’s Mansion, will listen to her. Even though Madam Di were not locked up, she would not have any power to make trouble on the margins, and she will only be an ornament of the mansion. In the future when Yuru gets married, I will make an excuse to send her to the little hall of the Buddha to help her gain the peace of mind!”
In the backyard of the mansion, there was a little hall of the Buddha, which was built in the past. Old Grandma liked it very much and had workers repairing it recently. Qin Huaiyong also knew that.
Old Grandma looked at his son, heaved a deep sigh, and waved her hands, saying, “You may leave, and I remembered the thing. As long as Mrs. Qin doesn’t ask Ruolan to go, that is all, right?”
“Right!” Qin Huaiyong lowered his head.
“I’m tired, you can leave!” Old Grandma held the hand of Nanny Duan and stoop up, showing she didn’t want to speak anything anymore.
Qin Huaiyong felt helpless and had to leave. Standing outside the room with his hands crossed behind his back, he stared at the gloomy sky for a while and left the courtyard for Shui Ruolan’s.
The next morning, Qin Wanru had breakfast first and then went to pay her greetings to Old Grandma.
Old Grandma was not willing to see her without having breakfast and only allowed her to come over after she had breakfast.
Coming into the room, she noticed that the air here was a bit dull. Shui Ruolan was always quiet and had a smile on her face, but she had no smile this time. Seeing Qin Wanru come in, she had a small smile on her face, which was slightly downward.
Under her slightly red eye sockets, her small smile looked unreal.
“Grandma, what’s wrong?” Taking a look at the pieces of cloth scattered on the table, Qin Wanru asked calmly.

“I helped your mother pick several pieces of cloth to make clothes, but your mother only made two because the cloth was not enough.” Old Grandma heaved a sigh. Although she helped make clothes for Shui Ruolan, she had no joy on her face.
Shui Ruolan skewed her head to her side as if she didn’t want Qin Wanru to see her face.
Qin Wanru realized what had happened as she saw the scene before her and recalled the behavior of Madam Di and Qin Yuru, which indicated that they would defeat her mother and they were more powerful. Then, some coldness flashed across her eyes, and she pouted, asking, “Will mother go to the Marquises’ Mansion of Fengyang to attend the banquet?”
“After your father arrived in the capital, his work arrangement has been being reviewed by the Marquise of Fengyang. Through this banquet, we want your father to build up relations with the Marquise of Fengyang,” Old Grandma said, looking unhappy.
“What does it have to do with mother? Isn’t it enough for Madam and father to go?” Qin Wanru asked her with brows raised up.
“Mrs. Qin had said with your father in private to ask your mother to go with them!” In fact, words like this were not suitable to mention before her young granddaughter, but she couldn’t help it because she was so angry. In addition, she felt that her granddaughter was becoming more and more sensible.
It seemed that Qin Wanru had become more and more like a little adult since the marriage incident between Qin Yuru and Qi Tianyu.
“Grandma, that’s not suitable. Madam will humiliate my mother!” Qin Wanru shook her hands, looking serious. It was not only humiliation but the one that would deprive Shui Ruolan of her courage to live. With an evil heart, Madam Di would surely do it.
“Your father has agreed!” Old Grandma said helplessly.
Qin Wanru slightly knitted her brows, thinking about it for a moment, and smiled. “Grandma, mother. Don’t worry. Let me go to Madam’s place to get some information. Perhaps, Madam won’t insist mother go!”
“This… is nearly impossible!” Old Grandma shook her head.
“Grandma, you never know until you try!” Qin Wanru said with a smile.
Seeing Qin Wanru was so confident, Old Grandma relaxed her knitted brows, but she didn’t think that was possible and knitted her brows again.
“Wanru, don’t go, I’m okay,” Shui Ruolan said with a forced smile, trying to stop Qin Wanru.
Qin Wanru stood up, saying, “Grandma, mother, I will be back soon.”
As she finished speaking and before they could speak anything, she turned and went out of the room, heading for the courtyard in which Madam Di live with Yujie behind her.
On the way, they met Qin Yuru by chance. Hearing that Qin Wanru was going to see Madam Di, Qin Yuru had a faint smile and went along with them with somewhat pride.
Therefore, the two of them entered the yard of Madam Di together.
Seeing two of them coming together, someone had already reported it to Madam Di. Hearing Qin Wanru’s coming, Madam Di asked them to go inside, showing a warm smile on her face. As soon as they came in, she asked her maid to carry tea to her. After the maid put down the tea and left, she warmly spoke to her.
“What has brought Wanru here today?”
“Will Madam ask my mother and me to attend the banquet of the Marquis of Fengyang when Madam goes there?” Qin Wanru lifted her head and asked.
“This matter! In fact, I need to think about it. You father came up with this idea, but not everyone can go there as they wish. I cannot make the decision, either, and I need to ask others about it,” Madam Di stroke a pose and slowly said.
“Mother, can I choose not to go? I don’t really want to!” Qin Wanru took the cup at her hand but didn’t drink from it, her eyes on the tea leaves in the cup. She was quite calm.
Madam never thought she came not for Shui Ruolan and became a little surprised, saying, “Why don’t you want to go? Don’t you like the lively and bustling environment like other girls?”
In fact, it was not the most important whether Qin Wanru went or not, for she really wanted Shui Ruolan to go. If Shui Ruolan didn’t go, she would not go to the banquet, either, and Qin Huaiyong would have no place to ask for help.
Being a couple with Qin Huaiyong for so many years, she certainly knew what her husband wanted and also what measures could force him to compromise. Besides that, she also knew he had to keep a low profile to beg her for the sake of going to the Marquises’ Mansion of Fengyang.
If she didn’t strike a pose now, when would she do it?
She must have Shui Ruolan go with them, for she meant to make the b*tch humiliated so that she wouldn’t dare to go outside in the future, and she had better not bear the humiliation and couldn’t live any longer after coming back.
In fact, an invisible knife can be even sharper in killing without leaving blood stains. Madam Di had mastered the strategy in those years.
For Madam Di, Qin Wanru was but one included incidentally. That whether she went or not was not so important now, and she was but a stage property to show Madam Di’s generosity and decent manners. If Qin Wanru forgot who she was, Madam Di’s would not care to also teach her a lesson.
“Madam, I, I saw a madam of the capital when I visited Huaguang Temple yesterday. One month ago, she was in Jingxin Monastery of Jiangzhou. I am afraid the madam would speak of the thing that happened at that time. If so, it would be terrible!”
Qin Wanru wrinkled her thin and curved beautiful brows and slowly said.
“What madam?” Madam Di changed her expression and suddenly had a bad feeling!
