Splendid spring returns

Chapter 38 Suspicion
The next day the weather was fine, Qin Shi got up early, sat in front of the vanity mirror, watched Li Zhi comb her hair, opened the jewelry box, picked out a plum blossom gemstone hairpin from inside for a while.

"Put this one in today, the color is brighter, I shouldn't put those plain white jade hairpins every day."

"Yes." Li Zhi agreed with a smile, inserted the plum blossom hairpin between her hair, and said softly: "Madam should have thought so earlier, look at the person in the mirror, how beautiful it is."

"So what if she's pretty? A woman who doesn't win the favor of her husband is just admiring herself."

Mrs. Qin sighed, she didn't expect her master to be in high spirits just now, but now she became sad again, and Yin also said sadly: "The slave and maid just don't accept it, so grandma is fine. Among the aunts, apart from Aunt Xin, which one can compare to you in appearance? Even Aunt Xin, she is only equal to Madam, why does the Lord spoil her like that? Just because she has been guarding Qingliang Pavilion for several years, is she playing hard to capture? ?”

"That's enough. Let others hear me and think I'm jealous of my sister." Mrs. Qin said indifferently: "I don't know that things in the world have their own fate. Besides, I'm not that beautiful."

After finishing speaking, she smiled and said, "For so many years, why can't I look away? Although I don't have the favor of the master, but now I have a capable and valiant younger sister. It's good that I'm not as lonely as before."

Then he said sadly: "It's just that I'm afraid that if I get too close to her, it will hurt her. The princess must be annoyed by her."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "Let me see, if Aunt Xin cared about the attitude of the princess and grandma, she wouldn't accept the hot potato from the master. Besides, the princess and Aunt Xin almost broke their faces in Qingliangyuan before. Ma'am, what else is there to worry about?"

The master and the servant were talking, and Qin Shi got dressed. At this time, someone reported outside: "Aunt Gu is here."

Qin's body froze, and then said slowly: "Let her in."

After a while, Aunt Gu walked in alone, and just stepped over the threshold, she knelt down with a plop, knocked her head to the ground, and cried bitterly: "My maidservant is guilty, I implore Madam to punish her."

"I've already told Sister Xin that I won't punish you, so that you won't have a hard time in the future."

Qin said lightly: "Get up. Sister Xin is here with me, and she has said a lot of good things for you. I also know that you have no choice but to kill me. There are other people. So this time I will give you a chance, I hope you If you can mend your ways, if you do such foolish things again in the future, I won't forgive you."

"Yes. Madam's great kindness and virtue, the maidservant and concubine are deeply grateful."

"I've already said that it was Sister Xin who pleaded for you. If you want to thank her, you should thank her well."

Qin's voice was still gentle as always, and after speaking, she said to Lizhi: "Go fetch water and wash Aunt Gu's face, if someone sees her like this, she might think I'm bullying her."

Aunt Gu thanked Mrs. Qin again, washed her face in the basin, and was wiping it with a towel, when she heard another report from outside: "Grandma and several aunts have come to greet Madam."

The few people in the room were startled, Qin laughed at herself and said: "It's really the sun coming out from the west, why do you think I'm Madam today? Well, if that's the case, let's meet everyone."

After talking about getting up, Aunt Gu rushed up to help her, but she saw Mrs. Qin shaking her head and said: "What do you think grandma thinks? For the sake of your future safety, it's better not to get close to me. If you have any difficulties in the future, just go find me. Aunt Xin, after this incident, you should also know what is good and what is wrong, and understand who can be entrusted to and who cannot be relied on."

Aunt Gu didn't expect Qin Shi to let her go so easily, and she thought of her so much, she felt very grateful for a moment, shed tears again, quickly wiped it with a handkerchief, and followed Qin Shi out of the house.

At that time, Mrs. Liao and others were waiting in the main hall, seeing Aunt Gu behind Mrs. Qin, Aunt Feng and Aunt Qiu couldn't help but be taken aback.Only Xin Nian knew it in his heart, and glanced at Liao Shi inadvertently, and sure enough, she saw her complexion darken, but recovered quickly.

"The weather is fine today, so I came to see my sister. I just thought we came early, but Aunt Gu arrived earlier than us. When did you care about Madam so much?"

Sensing that Liao's change was not limited to Xin Nian, Aunt Qiu smiled and opened her mouth as soon as she sat down, with Liao's support, her words were almost sarcasm.

Qin was a little annoyed. Aunt Qiu didn't think much of herself, so she glanced at her and said calmly, "Speak well, don't you come here to care about me? Why are you here?"

Aunt Qiu was so choked that she couldn't speak, she was secretly surprised, she didn't know what medicine the always weak wife had taken wrongly, and grandma was still here, how could she dare to choke herself?
Mrs. Liao also noticed the change of Mrs. Qin, the hatred in her eyes flashed away, but she said with a smile on her face: "We are all here to pay my respects to my sister, naturally we care about you, but I didn't expect Aunt Gu to be better than us in this respect. Well done, everyone will learn from her in the future."

Aunt Gu's face was flushed with embarrassment, and her complexion turned pale again. She glanced at Aunt Qiu, and sure enough, she saw a smug expression on her face. Obviously, she said that on purpose, in order to stir up rifts between herself and the Liao family. Sure enough, she got her wish.

Holding the teacup, Xin Nian silently observed the undercurrents in the small hall, thinking: Unfortunately, only Aunt Qiu, why didn't Aunt Feng speak?So it's still a little hot.Although Mrs. Liao is mean, she is not an idiot. Now she is just suspicious. If she wants to get rid of Aunt Gu and get rid of Aunt Gu quickly, she has to add more firewood. The portions were not enough.

While she was thinking silently, Aunt Feng finally joined the battle group, and Aunt Qiu talked to each other, pointing the finger at Aunt Gu and outputting it. Aunt Gu tried to argue a few words. Open your mouth and let them talk.

Seeing Aunt Gu's tendency to break pots, Xin Nian raised her brows, and thought to herself: This one is almost ready.

Yin put down the teacup, and said leisurely: "What are you two sisters doing? Madam is still here, and you are not afraid of making Madam a headache if you talk like this. Sister Gu just came a little earlier. What kind of sin is this? I want you to insinuate Sang Huai here and reject her."

"Sister Xin, what are you talking about? We are admiring Aunt Gu's gentleness and consideration. Why did you bully her? You can't give us a hat."

Aunt Qiu immediately turned her head around, and as soon as she finished speaking, Qin said coldly: "That's enough. You came here to greet me, and now you can see that I'm fine, so please go back. Go back to Sister Liao's place." In the room, you can quarrel as much as you want. She is more patient than me, and her body is stronger than mine, so she won't get a headache from being annoying."
