The Duke’s wife is beautiful but has a dark heart

In a small courtyard in the east of the city, Qin Lianyue had just sent away the second young master Jiang.

He came to deliver something again.

This has happened many times since she came to the capital.

After all, it’s the Duke’s Mansion! Du Liu and Qin Lianyue sighed as they looked at the gifts that filled most of the room.

"Daughter, your good day has arrived!"

Qin Lianyue smiled and returned to her room. The girl Aqi came over and said, "Girl, I still haven't seen anyone today."

"We haven't seen him yet? Isn't he even going home?"

"My servant is at the side door, and my brother is at the front door. We will guard him for a whole day." Aqi thought to himself, almost freezing to death! "The men of the Qi family can all be seen by those who work in court. But the fifth son is not seen."

"Trash!" Qin Lianyue said angrily.

"...Maybe he went out to do something."

"Where's my aunt?"

"Mrs. Qi's car came out twice."

"Forget it, don't go now. Mother sees you are not here today, and she still asks!" We can't let mother know about this.

The Qin family has a small house in the capital, which is used by the clan members. It would be a bit unsightly to marry from there to the Duke's Mansion.

Therefore, at present, the mother and daughter of the Qin family live in the empty house of their great-grandfather's student.

The owner of the house was very nice to them and made the stay very comfortable.

The second young master Wang is attentive. I made a special trip to see her, stopped by to see her, sometimes even twice a day.

This made Qin Lianyue very proud.

If Wen Yu hadn't been seen on the boat, she would have entered such a day.

But, she saw...

……

The servants are also reporting to Yuan.

"The eldest girl is a tenant in the small courtyard where she lives. She has only moved there for a year. She is not familiar with the neighbors and has never interacted with them. Someone saw the man in the family going in and out of the nearby Lord Mo's Mansion every day. Two of them My son was studying. I didn’t inquire about anything else, and I didn’t dare to ask too many questions. Later, the eldest girl came out and went to the family’s very high-end teahouse. I couldn’t follow her..."

"Go down! Keep following!" I want to see what this damn girl is doing?

When Wen Yu went back, Mrs. Wen called her over.

"grandmother!"

"You girl, what do you do all day?"

"After the New Year, it's time to open a big business! My granddaughter needs to look around!" Wen Yu said half-truthfully.

"What a big deal! Mrs. Qi sent someone to deliver a message. In a few days, the Fifth Young Master will deliver New Year's goods!"

"This is the etiquette!" Wen Yu had just met the person and was not too surprised.

Old Mrs. Wen saw Wen Yu's calm look and really couldn't understand this girl. If I had to change it to a few others, I would have been nervous as soon as I heard the news!

"My granddaughter is going out tomorrow! Whatever grandma wants to eat, my granddaughter will buy it for you!"

"I don't want anything! Don't go out every day!" The old lady was a little anxious. "In the past two days, guests have been arriving at home one after another. I'm afraid many people have also heard about your marriage. They wanted to see you, but you were not there. People don't know that you are a busy man, and they think that our family is deliberately trying to get Joe! "Old Mrs. Wen complained.

"Yes!" Wen Yu agreed with a smile, but didn't take it seriously at all!

……

The next day, after freshening up and dressing up, we set off again.

Aunt Cui was waiting at the door of the shop.

As soon as Wen Yu got out of the car, Aunt Cui came up to greet her, with a smile on her face: "Miss Wen!"

"Mother Cui. Please wait."

"Miss Wen is so polite. Madam has just arrived and is waiting inside!"

"Is Yuanyuan here?"

"Miss Yuanyuan didn't come. The little rabbit is sick..."

"Ah?! What's wrong?"

"She fed her too much, and the rabbit didn't know how full it was, and it was overstretched. Move it out for two days, and it'll be fine when it's hungry."

"Yuanyuan is anxious, right?"

"Isn't it?! The little turtle stopped eating and was so anxious." The two people said and went up to the second floor.

There was a living room with the door open, and Mrs. Qi was sitting there drinking tea.

"Madam!" Wen Yu stepped forward and saluted.

When Mrs. Qi saw Wen Yu, she was dressed in light purple and had a bright smile, which was really pleasing to the eye. "Good boy, come here and let me take a look!" Mrs. Qi stretched out her hand.

Wen Yu came over, her face turned pink.

"Are you still used to it after arriving in the capital?"

"I'm very used to it."

"Sit down quickly, I'm worried that you are afraid of the cold!"

"It's warm in the house. It's almost Chinese New Year, and it's not that cold anymore."

"Isn't that right? When I hit Chun'er, I'll be warm in no time."

"Is Madam okay?"

"I'm fine. It's just that Xiao Wu is not at home these days, so I don't know what he is busy with. Otherwise, I would have dragged him here!"

Wen Yu said in his heart: I saw it. "As a man, business matters are the most important!"

These words made Mrs. Qi even more satisfied: Look, how sensible this girl is?

It's not like Xu's: I always wonder what Qi Xiao is doing every day. Why does it take so long? Who did you go with? He won't take me out either... He'll pester me endlessly!

"Your grandmother and father, are everything okay?"

"Grandma has a strong body. She was more energetic than our sisters all the way to the capital. I heard that my father's business went smoothly."

"That's good."

"I thought Yuanyuan would come too today! Zhuzhu keeps asking her."

"I took Yuanyuan out for such a long time, and her mother was really worried. Mother and daughter are stuck together every day!"

"Madam, have you told her parents about Yuanyuan?"

There was a trace of sadness on Ms. Cui's face: "I told Yuanyuan's father. Her father said not to tell her mother yet! Yuanyuan's mother has the title of county lord. She has a cheerful temperament and is also arrogant.

If she found out, she wouldn't blame me, but if she made such a big mistake... how could she feel okay? Especially since the culprit has yet to be caught. "

Wen Yu thought for a while and then said: "At that time, I was worried that it would be harmful to Yuanyuan if it spread out, so I coaxed her and said that she fell chasing a rabbit. But Yuanyuan didn't know the seriousness of it. She refused to admit it and still Argue with me.

Later, she really liked the little rabbit and gave in. Would you like to discuss this with your brother: What if the county lord passes Yuanyuan in the future, or if others find out, what will they think? "

"That's it...I really haven't thought about it. Because later...Yuanyuan didn't mention that matter again. But, you are right: what if Yuanyuan thinks of it one day, or someone else leads her to say it? . The younger siblings will misunderstand us and deceive her, which will be troublesome."

"You can discuss this with your brother again. What Wen Yu said may not be right."

"Good child, you are very considerate." Mrs. Qi patted her hand, "This year, the Wen and Qi families have not met each other. I have arranged for Xiao Wu to go to the Wen family to deliver New Year's goods. Xiao Wu's grandfather, As well as my uncle and aunt, they have heard Yuanyuan talk about you a lot. They all really want to see you. During the Chinese New Year, I hope the Wen family will visit the Cui family!"

Wen Yu was a little embarrassed: "The Fifth Young Master Qi is so outstanding, the Cui family members must be very fond of him. Do they dislike Wen Yu?"

"How could it be!? It's too late for them to like you! Xiaowu used to go to school outside, and most of the time when he returned to the capital, he lived in the Cui family. He practiced martial arts with several cousins, and the relationship was deep!"

"Then you must be Wen Yu's backbone!"

Mrs. Qi was happy to hear her gentle words: "Although you are a girl from a civil servant family, you have a cheerful temper! The Cui family will definitely like it!" She felt more and more that the failure of her marriage with the Qin family was God's favor for her.

How could that pretentious Qin Lianyue compare with the girl in front of her?

The snobbish Du Liu'er didn't dare to come to the Qi family when he arrived in the capital, but he even sent gifts and notes to the Cui family!

My sister-in-law refused directly!

What a thick skin!

"The letter says you have a house in the capital?"

"Yes, it's in Fangjing Hutong. Madam, will you go and take a look later? Currently, Yan Zhu, Lan Zhou, the master I invited, and several embroiderers live there. Yan Zhu is cooking at home. She is very good at cooking. It’s delicious. Madam, why don’t you go and try it?”

"Okay. Let's go after watching it!"

"I already have some ideas about this shop, and I would like to ask Madam to hear them."

"Okay! Come on, let me tell you."

"Hey!"

Mrs. Qi stood up, held Wen Yu's hand, pointed and started talking. "These two shops are my dowry."

"Madam's family, what a big deal! When Wen Yu came to inquire, everyone knew about this place!" Wen Yu looked at the high roof, the hanging lights, the bright room...

Mrs. Qi’s smile showed wrinkles, “My family bought it early. We bought the land and built it ourselves, using good materials. At that time, this area was not so prosperous, so the price was not bad. When you go out and look left and right, there are two sets each, which belong to my brothers."

"They have all been rented out, and my family has no time to do it. The boss of my two houses did very well and made a lot of money. He also bought a shop."

Mrs. Qi led Wen Yu to take a closer look upstairs, downstairs, and in the backyard.

Wen Yu was very attentive, secretly incorporating Master Qing's design and found that most of the places were to his liking. Only a few need to be adjusted...

"Last time, Mrs. Qi's men took Master Qing to read it. Master Qing had a lot of ideas and sorted them out. But after all, Wen Yu had never done such a big thing. Moreover, he was particularly convinced of Madam's vision. After a while, Wen Yu , I would like you to take a closer look and make your final decision!"

"My taste is indeed good..." Mrs. Qi said proudly.

The two of them chuckled...
