Two guards walked up to Shuang'er and said indifferently, "Miss Yin, please!"

Shuang'er had already put on her clothes. Seeing the two guards' attitude, she rolled her eyes at them with disdain and walked out with her head held high without saying a word...

After Qinghe returned to the villa, Xiaer and Yuner were still standing at the door waiting for her anxiously.

After seeing her come back, the two of them finally felt relieved!

"Madam, you are finally back!"

The two of them came over, only to find that under the light of the lantern, her face looked even uglier than before she left...

Xia Er hurriedly took the lantern and blew it out gently, then asked with concern, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Qing He said in a hoarse voice with some tiredness: "I'm fine, just a little tired, I just need to have a good sleep..."

The two of them quickly helped her into the house.

Xia'er came up and wanted to help Qinghe take off her hairpins and rings, but Qinghe gently pushed her hand away and said weakly, "Don't worry about me, go back to sleep!"

"Madam, you look very pale. Would you like to ask a doctor to take a look?"

Qing He shook her head, "I'm fine, lock the door when you go out."

The two looked at each other and said respectfully, "Yes." Then they quietly retreated and closed the door from the outside.

Qing He sat on the bedside with a gloomy look on her face. After a while of being in a daze, she slowly reached out to take off the hairpins on her head and placed them next to the pillow. Without changing into pajamas, she directly lifted the quilt and lay down...

But after closing my eyes, I couldn't fall asleep at all. My mind was filled with the scenes I saw in Qingxinzhai...

She turned over and tried to force herself to fall asleep with her mind, but it was of no use. She only felt a splitting headache!

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then Jiang Yaonian was heard asking outside the door: "Qinghe, are you asleep?"

Qing He huddled in the quilt with her eyes tightly closed, not moving, but tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes. She tried her best to control herself from getting excited, but her body was shaking slightly...

Jiang Yaonian stood outside and waited for a while. When he heard no movement inside, he turned around and left silently.

Qing He did not sleep the whole night until almost four o'clock in the morning, when she took a drowsy nap and slept until dawn the next day.

When she opened her eyes, she found that she had overslept. She quickly sat up, feeling a little uncomfortable and her eyes were a little sore and uncomfortable.

After going downstairs and opening the door, I found Xia'er and others had already been waiting outside.

Seeing that she was awake, Xia Er smiled and asked, "Did Madam sleep well last night?"

Qing He forced a smile and said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay."

After washing up, breakfast was brought over from the kitchen. Qinghe drank some porridge and then stopped eating and went back to bed.

In a daze, she heard Xia'er approaching and softly saying, "Madam, Steward Yin wants to see you. Do you have time?"

Qing He opened her eyes and asked weakly, "Go and ask what's going on."

"Yes."

Xiaer turned and went out.

After a while, he came back and said to Qinghe, "He wants to apologize to you in person, saying that he didn't discipline his daughter well and caused you trouble."

Qing He said dejectedly, "Let him go back." Then she turned over and fell asleep again.

"Yes."

Xiaer came out and told Liu He as she was told.

At noon, Qinghe got up.

I had no appetite to eat, so I left the house and wanted to sit in Zuihua Pavilion for a while.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the room, I saw Shuang'er kneeling at the bottom of the stairs.

Xia Er came up and said with a smile, "Madam, are you awake?"

Qing He glanced at Shuang Er and asked, "What is she doing here?"

"I have been kneeling for a while. I said I offended you yesterday and I came to apologize to you."

Qing He said indifferently: "Let her go back."

After saying that, he went down the stairs and walked outside without even looking at Shuang'er.

I only heard Shuang'er shouting from behind: "Madam, this is all my fault! If you want to blame someone, blame me. Don't be angry with Young Master Nian!"

It would have been fine if she didn't say it. As soon as she finished speaking, Qinghe became even angrier. She immediately remembered the scene of her wearing a bellyband and hugging Jiang Yaonian!

This intertwined feeling of disgust, aversion and despair really made Qinghe very sad and painful. She walked away without looking back.

At this moment, Shuang'er's expression suddenly changed. She got up from the ground, patted the dirt off her body, and then walked away with a look of disdain.

Her stepfather insisted that she come to apologize to the young lady. Although she was very reluctant, she came anyway. She would need her stepfather's help in the future, so for now she could only be obedient!

……

Qinghe sat in the pavilion for a while, and when she felt her headache was less painful, she got up and went back to the house.

She went to the window, took out the embroidered round fan from the drawer and put it in a box, then carefully wrapped it in a piece of printed satin. She decided to deliver it to the customer in the afternoon and go home to visit her younger brothers and sisters.

Seeing that she was about to go out, Xia Er came up to her and asked, "Madam, where are you going? Do you need me to follow you?"

Qinghe said lightly: "No need, just take good care of the house at home." After that, she left the villa and went all the way to the second gate.

When the guard Sun Li saw her coming out, he hurried forward and asked respectfully, "Where are you going, Madam?"

Qing He said, "Send me to Mr. Zhao's house on Shiqiao Road in the west of the city."

After the carriage arrived at the place, Qing He got off the carriage and said to Sun Li, "You can go back first. You don't have to wait for me."

"It may not be easy to get a taxi here, so I'd better wait for you for a while."

"No need, go back."

Sun Li had no choice but to leave.

Qinghe went forward and knocked on the door. A housekeeper came out and led her to the back house.

Qing He handed the box to Mrs. Zhao. After Mrs. Zhao opened it and took out the round fan, she couldn't help but exclaimed with surprise, "Oh, it's so exquisite!"

When she turned it over and saw that there were actually two lifelike wild geese embroidered on the back, Mrs. Zhao was stunned. She looked up at Qinghe and said, "Oh, Qinghe, you have such a skillful hand! I never expected it! No wonder Mrs. Song strongly recommended your craftsmanship, it is really extraordinary!" Then she ordered the maid, "Bring me the pair of earrings I just bought!"

After a while, the maid brought a small box to Mrs. Zhao.

When Mrs. Zhao opened it, she found a pair of exquisitely crafted gold earrings inside. The pendants were made of small carnelian in the shape of deep red wolfberries, which looked very interesting and cute.

Madam Zhao smiled and said, "Qinghe, I heard that you like earrings very much. I'll give this to you! Although it's not very expensive, it's also carefully selected by me."

Qing He said gently and modestly: "How can I be so embarrassed?"

"Oh, embroidery takes a lot of time. It must have taken you a long time to embroider this pair of geese. I feel uneasy if you don't accept the earrings."

When Mrs. Zhao ordered the round fan, she only asked for a pair of mandarin duck patterns. Unexpectedly, Qinghe also embroidered a pair of flying geese for her, which immediately made the fan even more upscale!

There are not many embroiderers who can embroider double-sided embroidery, and even fewer who can embroider so exquisitely. Mrs. Zhao is determined to establish a good relationship with this gentle and lovely embroiderer so that she can continue to help embroider some things in the future.

After chatting for a while, Qinghe refused Mrs. Zhao's request to stay for tea and took a car to Yao's house.

The maid who opened the door was very surprised when she saw her, "How come the eldest lady has time to come back today!"

Qinghe asked with a smile, "Are Furong and Chengzu home?"

The old woman smiled and said, "The young master and the third young lady went out. They said they were going to Bodhi Bridge to buy bird food."

Qinghe couldn't help but smile after hearing this. The two were still so naughty and love to play. When they were in Qingtang Town before, they went up the mountain to catch rabbits and went down to the river to catch fish every day. They were never idle for a moment. Now that they have moved here, it is not convenient to go up the mountain or down the river, so they run to the place where flowers, birds, fish and insects are sold every day.

Qinghe walked all the way to the boudoir in the back garden. After pushing the door open, she found that the decoration was exactly the same as the day she got married. Everywhere was so festive, and it seemed that no one had come in since then.

Qing He walked to the bed and sat down gently, looking at everything in the room, feeling as if she were in a dream...

In just two months, her life changed dramatically, and it felt like everything happened in her previous life.

After sitting for a while, Qing He felt a little tired, so she fell asleep on the bed...

She dreamed that her mother asked her to go on a blind date, and she dreamed that a man whose face she couldn't see clearly came towards her...

Suddenly, Qinghe screamed!

Someone was pressing on her and she couldn't breathe!
