After the noble lady was reborn, the whole mansion begged her for forgiveness
Chapter 110: Aunt Liu
Stepping into the magnificent meeting hall with carved beams and painted rafters, Qin Suling sat upright in a round chair skillfully carved by a famous master. The auspicious patterns of dragon and phoenix on the back of the chair seemed to come alive, swaying gently with the majesty that naturally emanated from her body.
The sunlight filtered through the cracks in the window lattice and shone onto her delicate face, adding a touch of inviolable holiness to her.
Qing Zhu followed closely behind, her steps light and steady. Her expression showed loyalty to her master, yet she remained calm and composed.
She took a step forward and said softly to Aunt Zhang in a voice that was so soft and delicate that seemed to be able to soothe all the impetuousness in the world: "Mammy, please come forward a few steps and report the affairs of the mansion in detail."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Zhang obeyed the order and walked forward, taking each step steadily and powerfully. Under her lowered head were a pair of eyes that had seen through many vicissitudes of life but were still bright.
When she reported, her words were clear and well-organized, and every word sounded like pearls falling on a plate, crisp and pleasant to the ear: "Reporting to Madam, the new clothes for the two young masters and Miss Zhu have been taken back from the best clothing store in the city. There are three sets in total, all carefully selected according to Madam's instructions. Madam Du specially ordered this servant to come and ask Madam if she needs some fine-tuning in the sewing room to make it more suitable for her."
Upon hearing this, Qingzhu and Qingdai smiled at each other, and quickly and tacitly took the clothes from the nanny's hands. Their movements were gentle and cautious, as if what they were holding in their hands were not clothes, but the most precious treasure in the world.
They carefully presented the clothes to Qin Suling. Each piece exuded a faint fragrance, which was refreshing.
On the side, Nanny Liu's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. She checked every piece of clothing meticulously, from the stitches to the fabric, leaving nothing out.
That focused look seemed as if he was guarding the family's last line of defense.
After confirming that everything was correct, Qin Suling nodded her head lightly. Although the movement was light, it contained an unquestionable force.
Her concise and powerful words were like a mountain spring, clear and profound: "Everything will continue as usual, no need to say more."
When Nanny Zhang heard this, a joyful smile broke out on her face, which showed the relief and satisfaction after completing the task.
She quickly agreed and left with brisk steps, her back revealing an indescribable pride and loyalty.
Qin Suling looked at Nanny Zhang's departing back, her brows slightly furrowed, secretly thinking about everything going on in the mansion.
The forbearance and waiting of the past few days seemed to have received some subtle response at this moment.
She nodded slightly, signaling Madam Liu to continue with the work at hand, but at the same time endless thoughts were surging in her mind.
She knew very well that within this deep mansion, the evil of people's hearts was often more terrifying than any conspiracy or trick.
But she also understood that she must not lose her composure because of this and must always stay sober and calm.
Then, a sneer appeared on her lips, which contained both mockery of the world's fickleness and confidence in her control over her own destiny.
"I just said one thing, all problems ultimately come down to the human heart."
She spoke slowly, her voice was soft, but every word was weighty. After she finished speaking, she slowly stood up, her eyes sparkling, as if they could penetrate through layers of fog and look directly into the darkest corners of people's hearts.
At this moment, Qin Suling is no longer the gentle and lovely lady, but has transformed into the head of the mansion of Marquis Yongyi, who is able to plan and win battles thousands of miles away.
Her every movement and every look reveals a majesty and wisdom that cannot be underestimated.
Outside the meeting hall, the sun was shining brightly in the courtyard of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, and the bluestone road was filled with mottled light and shadows.
Servants were moving around, busy with their own affairs.
Their figures appear both rugged and free and easy.
It seems that every brick and tile of this mansion carries the traces of time and the glory of the family.
Qin Suling moved to the window lattice and sat down. A faint fragrance of tea rose from the cup, complementing her indifferent mood.
She gently picked up the teacup and took a sip, then opened her red lips and spoke in a soft voice, revealing a firmness that could not be ignored.
"Who said I don't show my majesty? It's just that, as the master of this mansion, the display of majesty must be as gentle and silent as the spring breeze and rain. And I must grasp the right measure."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Tuan's high and clear voice came from outside the door. The voice was as loud as the morning bell and evening drum, instantly breaking the silence in the room: "Madam, Aunt Zhang from the sewing room wants to see you urgently. She claims that there is an important matter that needs your personal decision."
Qin Suling slightly opened her red lips and slowly placed the exquisite teacup in her hand on the table. As the fragrance of tea wafted in the air, her eyes were as deep as the night sky, as if she was weaving an invisible net, capturing every subtle change in the air.
"...Why are you calling me in such a hurry at this moment?" She whispered, her tone filled with confusion and a hint of subtle expectation and curiosity.
Qing Zhu followed closely behind, with light steps, as if afraid to disturb the tranquility in the room.
The two men walked into the meeting place, and every step they took seemed so solemn and cautious.
Qin Suling thought to herself, "If there is an urgent matter, why would they only send a maid as an envoy? There must be a deep meaning behind this."
Her eyes moved, a shrewd look flashed across them, and then she whispered to Jin Tuan: "Please wait under the eaves, Ma'am. I'll be there in a moment."
After saying that, she wanted to get up, but saw Qingdai had quietly lifted the curtain. That meticulous consideration was like a breeze in spring, gently brushing Qin Suling's heart and bringing a hint of imperceptible warmth.
Entering the hall, Qin Suling sat upright in the intricately carved armchair, his posture upright like a green pine, his eyes as calm as water, yet he seemed to be able to see through all the troubles in the world.
Qing Zhu took a step forward, her voice gentle but firm, like a flower blooming in spring, gentle yet with unquestionable strength: "Mammy, please come forward and tell me in detail."
Nanny Zhang followed the instructions and stepped forward, bowing. Her voice was respectful and cautious. "Madam, Nanny Lu sent me here to inquire about the clothing for next month and whether the needlework room needs to make any adjustments."
After saying this, Qingzhu and Qingdai took the clothes gently, as if they were the most precious treasure in the world, and presented them to Qin Suling carefully.
Aunt Liu had a serious face and sharp eyes as she carefully examined every detail of the clothes, including the fine stitching, leaving nothing out, for fear of any mistakes.
After confirming that everything was correct, Qin Suling nodded gently. That brief movement contained endless power and determination: "Everything will proceed as usual."
Although her voice was soft, every word she said was precious and impeccable.
Upon hearing this, Nanny Zhang's face lit up with joy. She quickly agreed and briskly left the conference room.
However, this joy did not last long. Madam Liu's face gradually darkened. She lowered her voice and whispered in Qin Suling's ear, like a secret message in the dark night: "Madam, this person has always been good at scheming and taking advantage of others. You must be on guard."
Qin Suling's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she was secretly calculating in her heart that the planning and waiting over the past few days seemed to be about to take a turn for the better at this moment.
Madam Liu continued, "Afterwards, I ordered Qingdai to investigate privately, and discovered that your clothes were secretly cut by this person in an attempt to pass them off as good ones."
"Reduce..." Qin Suling murmured to himself. Although his voice was light, it revealed his deep thoughts.
She knew very well that what was hidden behind this was not just a simple matter of adjusting clothing, but was just the tip of the iceberg of the undercurrents in the mansion and the naked display of the dark side of human nature in the face of power and interests.
Upon seeing this, Matron Liu's worry was evident on her face. She asked in a low voice, "Madam, do you think the clothes you just tested are safe?" Qin Suling sneered, and that smile showed a deep understanding of the complexity and changeability of human nature, as well as confidence and composure in the exquisiteness of her own layout.
"I only need to say a few words to make light of it. If the clothes are really different, what can I do?"
She said calmly, revealing a detached demeanor, "The root of the problem lies in the human heart. The human heart is hard to predict, but I have my own way to deal with it."
After saying this, she gently raised her hand and made a subtle gesture, signaling Madam Liu and Qing Zhu to leave.
The meeting room fell silent again, with only the occasional sound of birds singing outside the window, clear and melodious, as if whispering the unknown secrets and stories of this deep courtyard.
Qing Zhu hesitated to speak, and finally only whispered a reminder, but revealed an unquestionable solemnity and determination: "Madam, this matter..."
As soon as these four words came out, Matron Liu's heart couldn't help but tighten, just like a cold winter wind blowing across the lake, stirring up layers of delicate ripples.
She secretly glanced at Qin Suling, only to see that the lady's face was as calm as water, with a wise light flashing in her eyes, as if everything was under her control.
At that moment, she knew very well that the lady had already made up her mind, and the opportunity to show her majesty was quietly approaching.
