After the noble lady was reborn, the whole mansion begged her for forgiveness

Qin Suling sat quietly under the window lattice, the moonlight shining brightly on her beautiful face. Her eyes seemed even deeper in the night, as if she could see through the essence of all things in the world.

She listened quietly to the occasional sound of wind outside the window and the faint barking of dogs in the distance. Her heart was surging like the tide, and she was secretly planning the future of the Qin Mansion.

The Qin Mansion, this once glorious mansion, is now like a small boat in the wind and rain, and it urgently needs a helmsman who can turn the tide in the turbulent court. Shen Yunshan is the eternal light of hope in her heart.

"I understand, please rest assured, mother." She opened her red lips slightly, her voice soft but firm as iron, and every word contained a calmness and indomitable spirit beyond her age.

The old lady looked at her eyes that sparkled with wisdom and determination, and the warmth in her heart seemed to melt all the frost in the world. "You have suffered, my child." The old lady's words were full of heartache and love. She gently stroked the back of Qin Suling's hand, and the touch was like the warm spring sun, warm and gentle.

Qin Suling smiled slightly, and that smile was like a flower blooming in spring. It was both a gratitude for the old lady's care and a calm acceptance of her own fate.

Adopted by the Qin family since she was young, she has long regarded this place as her home. The love of her two elders and the affection of her husband nourish her heart like nectar, allowing her to stick to her beliefs and move forward courageously in the midst of storms and storms.

However, whenever it was late at night, Chen Pingting's arrogant and rude figure would appear in her mind, like an insurmountable gap, making her worry about her granddaughter's future.

She was afraid that the filthy world would corrode her granddaughter's pure heart, and she was even more afraid that she would go astray and become a shame to the family. But Qin Suling knew that worrying would be useless, and only action could change the status quo.

"I understand, Grandmother." She changed the subject and brought her thoughts back to reality, talking about the tribute that would be coming at the end of the year. "As a century-old family, the Qin family should shoulder the responsibility of presenting tribute to the royal family. I mentioned this only because I hope we can be prepared and live up to the grace of the emperor." Her tone revealed a kind of confidence that made the old lady look at her with new eyes.

Inside the house, the flickering candlelight illuminated the warm and kind faces of the grandparents and grandchildren. The sandalwood rose in the air, interweaving with the night to form a tranquil and mysterious picture. After a chat, the old lady told the maids to take good care of Qin Suling and let her go back to her room to rest. Qin Suling stood up and saluted, her manners showing the demeanor of a lady from a noble family. Her figure gradually faded away in the candlelight, leaving behind a room full of warmth and hope.

Back in the room, Jinxiu had prepared clean water and was ready to help Qin Suling wash and rest. "Madam, go to bed early. You still need to visit the master's mentor tomorrow." Jinxiu's voice was full of concern. Qin Suling nodded gently and let the maids take off her gorgeous clothes and put on comfortable pajamas. In her heart, she was carefully planning every move of the next chess game.

There is still more than a month before the tribute is presented. Qin Suling knows that this is the best time for her to strike back at the Chen family. She needs to find a tribute that can both demonstrate the strength of the Qin family and touch the heartstrings of the emperor, so that the Chen family will unknowingly fall into the trap she has set. She has already made up her mind, and when the time is right, she will make the arrogant Chen family pay the price they deserve.

The day of presenting tribute finally arrived. The atmosphere in the imperial city was tense and solemn. Qin Suling, dressed in gorgeous clothes and holding a carefully selected jade pendant, walked into the hall side by side with Shen Yunshan. Their figures were particularly eye-catching among the ministers.

Above the hall, the dragon throne was hanging high, and the emperor sat majestically on it, his eyes as sharp as torches, examining the ministers kneeling below. Qin Suling and Shen Yunshan presented tribute according to etiquette, and when the jade pendant with auspicious dragons and phoenixes appeared in front of everyone, there was a burst of praise in the hall. The warm luster and exquisite craftsmanship of the jade pendant all demonstrated the Qin family's ingenuity and respect for the royal family.

However, just as this harmony was about to reach its peak, a discordant voice suddenly sounded. Chen Pingting, the lingering shadow in Qin Suling's heart, walked into the hall with a provocative smile. She was dressed gorgeously, but her eyes were flashing with jealousy and unwillingness. In her hands, she also held a tribute - a piece of jewelry that looked more luxurious and priceless.

"Your Majesty, I have also prepared a small gift, which I hope will bring honor to the royal family." Chen Pingting's voice was clear and pleasant, but it was sharp. She deliberately raised the jewelry in her hand high in an attempt to attract everyone's attention and to overshadow Qin Suling.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became subtle, and the ministers' eyes moved back and forth between Qin Suling and Chen Pingting, speculating on this sudden contest. The emperor frowned slightly, obviously displeased with this sudden "competition".

Qin Suling's heart tightened, but she quickly adjusted her mentality and remained calm and composed on the surface. She knew very well that the conflict at this moment was not just a contest between individuals, but also a head-on confrontation between the Qin family and the Chen family. She could not retreat, and she could not let Chen Pingting's conspiracy succeed.

"Your Majesty, the jade pendant presented by your humble servant is not a rare item in the world, but it carries the Qin family's loyalty and respect for the royal family. The dragon and phoenix are auspicious, symbolizing peace in the world and well-being of the people. May Your Majesty bless all the people and prosper the country." Qin Suling's voice was gentle and powerful, and every word was resounding and struck people's hearts.

When the emperor heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. He nodded slowly, and his eyes fell on the jade pendant in Qin Suling's hand again, as if he was moved by the deep meaning behind it.

When Chen Pingting saw this, her face changed slightly. She didn't expect Qin Suling to resolve her attack in such a clever way.

She was unwilling to admit defeat and was about to say something else, but was stopped by her father, the head of the Chen family, with a stern look.

This sudden conflict, in the face of Qin Suling's wisdom and calmness, ultimately ended in Chen Pingting's failure.

However, Qin Suling knew that this was just the beginning, and her battle with the Chen family was far from over.

But she also believes that as long as she maintains this determination and wisdom, the future of the Qin family will be even brighter.
