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

Fang Rushuang sighed softly and stuffed the silver back into Liu Ma's hand: "We have been together as master and servant for many years. Naturally, I hope you can have a happy old age."

This was indeed Fang Rushuang's true words. Although she did not like Liu Ma's gossiping character, she had a deep affection for her after years of companionship.

She sincerely hoped that Madam Liu could live a good life.

Nanny Liu looked at Fang Rushuang, her heart filled with gratitude.

She thought of Qin Shizhao, the man who held great power in the Qin Mansion.

They had no regard for their old friendship and not only wronged her, they also wanted to drive her out of the house and even cut off her tongue!

Her heart was filled with anger and resentment.

Since Qin Shizhao insisted on accusing her of framing his master, then she would really framing him for them to see!

She had worked as a servant in the Qin Mansion for many years, and she knew a lot about Qin Shizhao's affairs, even his private matters.

As long as she opens her mouth, Qin Shizhao will be ruined!

However, in her heart, what is more important is Fang Rushang's kindness.

She decided to return to the countryside and live a peaceful life. As for Qin Shizhao's matter, she would find a suitable opportunity to let everyone know his true face.

Fang Rushuang looked at Madam Liu's determined eyes and said with a smile, "You still need to thank someone for what happened today."

Aunt Liu asked in confusion: "Who is it?"

Fang Rushuang smiled and replied, "It's the eldest lady."

She said with emotion: "If she hadn't reminded me in advance and made me prepared, I might not be able to save you from danger today."

After hearing this, Aunt Liu was even more grateful and moved.

She knew that she was able to keep her tongue not only because of the lady's protection, but also because of the eldest lady's wit and kindness.

Madam Liu once again faced the direction of the capital, bowed deeply, knelt on both knees, and pressed her forehead to the ground. Her voice was trembling, but full of gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss. I will never forget it!"

At the moment of leaving, she seemed to remember something, slowly turned her head, with a complex light flashing in her eyes.

She walked closer to Fang Rushuang and whispered, "Madam, I have something I want to discuss with you in private."

Fang Rushuang turned her gaze to her, a hint of doubt flashed across her brows, and she asked softly, "Why is it so mysterious?"

Madam Liu took a deep breath and lowered her voice, her voice sounding a bit serious: "Madam, please be careful of the Second Miss."

Fang Rushuang was shocked when she heard this. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and look at Matron Liu, feeling an inexplicable chill in her heart.

Qin Suyu, her biological daughter, why would Nanny Liu remind her like this?

After saying goodbye to Nanny Liu, Fang Rushuang returned to the Marquis' Mansion with a heart full of doubts.

Her heart was in turmoil and could not calm down.

Could it be that this usually well-behaved and lovely daughter really has some unknown secret?

At the same time, Qin Shizhao's anger had not subsided.

He originally planned to use Qin Suyu to get close to the Fourth Prince in order to enhance the relationship between the two families and pave the way for his own future.

However, the development of things was beyond his expectation.

Qin Suyu was rejected by the Fourth Prince because of her smelly feet, which was already a huge blow to him.

What made him even more angry was that this matter was spread widely by the servants in the mansion and became a laughing stock in the streets.

"Master, calm down for now." Fang Rushuang consoled him, "I have already warned the servants in the mansion. No one in the mansion will ever mention this matter again."

However, Qin Shizhao's anger was hard to calm down. He said angrily: "These servants are obedient on the surface, but I don't know how they will plot against our Qin family behind our backs! If outsiders knew that our Qin family's affairs were so shameful, where would I put my old face?"

Fang Rushuang pondered for a moment and felt that what he said made sense.

Even if the servants in the mansion were not afraid of being expelled from the Qin Mansion, they would certainly be afraid of suffering more severe punishment.

However, she was more worried about Qin Suyu's future and the reputation of the Qin family.

Recently, in order to show sympathy for his old ministers, the emperor specially held a court banquet and invited respected officials in the court to enter the palace.

Qin Shizhao was also among the invited guests.

This was a great honor for the Qin family. However, Qin Suyu's smelly feet were like a time bomb that could explode at any time.

Once this matter gets out, not only will Qin Suyu's reputation be damaged, but the Qin family will also be disgraced.

As a father, Qin Shizhao naturally could not sit idly by.

He summoned the housekeepers again and stressed solemnly: "This matter concerns the reputation and future glory of my Qin family. You must monitor it closely and make sure it is not mentioned again. If anyone is found discussing it in private, they will be severely punished!"

Upon hearing this, the managers all nodded their heads in agreement.

They knew that this was not just a family affair of the Qin family, but also concerned their future and destiny.

Therefore, they must do their utmost to ensure that this does not happen again.

After carefully arranging the affairs of the mansion, Qin Shizhao felt relieved and slowly walked into his quiet residence.

In the capital city, time passes slowly. After finishing a day's chores, those women who have been through hardships always gather at the alley entrance with their small stools, sit together with their neighbors, sip tea, and chat happily.

The alley is particularly lively today.

The women's faces were more lively than usual, and their words were interspersed with laughter, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, creating ripples.

Amidst the laughter and joy, Qin Suyu was like a frightened little bird, hiding in her boudoir and not wanting to see anyone.

In her heart, there was always an indescribable embarrassment and uneasiness - which was caused by her smelly feet.

In order to comfort her, although Nanny Liu had been punished, Qin Shizhao still decided to personally take her to the prosperous Qiluofang to pick out some new clothes for her, hoping to calm the turmoil in her heart.

As soon as the two of them stepped out of the solemn gate of the Marquis' Mansion, they met several young men wandering on the street.

The eyes of these young men revealed unruly and frivolous looks. The moment they saw Qin Suyu, their gazes wandered over her body unscrupulously, finally landing on her feet covered by her skirt.

Qin Suyu felt the strange gaze and felt flustered. She stepped back slightly and tried to hide her feet behind Qin Shizhao's tall figure.

Seeing this, the servants following behind the two men immediately stepped forward and shouted to drive those young men away: "Where did you come from? Leave immediately and don't stay here!"

When the young men saw the servants coming to drive them away, they dispersed. However, one brave young man did not leave. He stood in the distance and whistled at Qin Shizhao's carriage.

Seeing this, his companions also joined in the fun and laughed with ill intent.

Qin Suyu's heart tightened. She was worried that the embarrassing incident of her climbing over the wall and being kicked out that day had spread throughout the capital, and now these young men came to make fun of her.

She nervously grabbed Qin Shizhao's sleeve and asked in a trembling voice: "Father, do they know...I..."

Qin Shizhao felt Qin Suyu's nervousness and uneasiness. He gently patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "Suyu, don't worry. I have already asked the people in the mansion, and the matter has not been spread. These young people are just idle people in the market, so don't take it to heart."

The carriage moved forward slowly and soon arrived at the prosperous Qiluofang.
