After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

Su Qingling smiled faintly:

"That girl did something wrong, so I sent her to be a cleaning girl! It seems my sister is quite interested in this girl!"

As soon as these words came out, Su Qingyan laughed dryly:

"Look at what elder sister said. Yan'er was just asking casually. I just think that you are now the young lady of the Marquis' Mansion, so you should still have the proper pomp and ceremony!"

Su Qingling was feeling irritated, so he picked up the preserved peach on the plate on the table, tore off a small piece of flesh, and put it into his mouth. A sweet taste came out, and he felt much better!

Su Qingyan sat in the guest seat, watching her exiled sister eating the preserved fruits slowly.

Her every move was graceful and dignified, her face was calm and indifferent, and she showed the demeanor of a lady from a noble family!

I was so jealous that my eyes flashed with a faint light!

Although only a hint of smile was revealed, he quickly suppressed it. There was still a smile on his face, but Su Qingling caught it out of the corner of his eye.

He swallowed the preserved fruit, took a sip of tea, and then said:

"Yan'er is right. It's really hard to be the mistress of a house... I would like to have fewer people serving me, which would save me a lot of trouble. I would be free and less constrained!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Qingyan felt uncomfortable again.

The elder sister's words seemed to show off that she had married a good husband...

Humph, I don’t know how long it won’t be long before the position of the young lady will be replaced, so I’ll let you be proud for a while!

The two sisters chatted about family matters for a while, and then Su Qingyan got to the point!

"...Big sister, Yan'er thought something happened to the Xie family, and you must be worried and angry, so I rushed to see you!..."

As he spoke, he looked embarrassed. Seeing his elder sister looking at him directly as she continued, he couldn't help but curse inwardly:

What an idiot! Can't you just ask another question?

She smiled helplessly, wiped the corners of her mouth with the silk handkerchief, and then said:

"Sister, don't you know?"

Su Qingling raised his eyebrows and said with a puzzled look:

"what do you know?"

Seeing that the eldest sister did not seem to have heard the rumors, it should be that the second brother had not yet mentioned the matter of the second son of the Xie family. The corners of her lips were pressed down and she said:

"I heard that your uncle got into trouble again. He actually threw the second young master of the Wang family, a fourth-rank political advisor in the capital, down from the building..."

"Now, the rumors in Shengjing City are all over the place. They all say that the Changning Marquisate bullies people by taking advantage of its power and has a very bad reputation!..."

After a long pause, I heard my elder sister speak:

"Oh, that will give my father-in-law and mother-in-law a headache!"

Su Qingyan was about to respond when she suddenly realized that shouldn’t her elder sister be in a hurry to return home?

This elder sister must have hurt her brain. Why is it that when we met this time, the way she spoke and acted was so different from usual?

It seems that I still need some guidance, so I pretended to be hesitant and said:

"Don't be anxious, big sister. You should discuss this matter carefully with your brother-in-law and the others. You will definitely come up with a perfect plan!"

Su Qingling raised his eyes, his eyes full of confusion:

"Sister, I'm curious about how my uncle got into a dispute with the young master of the Wang family?"

Su Qingyan was stunned again by this question. Why was her elder sister's focus different from what she expected? Shouldn't she be discussing with her about setting off back to the Marquis' Mansion?

I was feeling irritated, I could hardly hold back the smile on my face, and my voice was a little sharp when I spoke!

"Yan'er doesn't know the details either, but she knows that the two of them had a fight over a prostitute in Piaoxiang Courtyard, and then the young master of the Wang family was pushed down from the second floor!"

"Ah, my uncle usually seems to be a well-mannered person, how could he be so bold... It must be that the young master of the Wang family was at fault first, otherwise he wouldn't have angered my uncle so much!"

"Alas, it's a pity that I am not in good health now and cannot help. Fortunately, I returned the housekeeping power to my mother-in-law before I left. Otherwise, I would have to trouble someone to come and pass on the message!"

These words directly shut Su Qingyan's mouth.

If she were to persuade her elder sister to go back home and take care of the housework again, it would seem that she, an unmarried sister-in-law, was overreaching!

So he suppressed his impatience and talked for a while. After lunch, Su Qingling said that he was really tired and wanted to take a nap!

Su Qingyan saw that her eldest sister's left arm was in a sling and she seemed to be in great pain as she walked with a limp. She didn't want to stay and bother her, so she could only give her a few words of advice and then got back in the carriage and went back to the city!

When she was about to leave, her other maid Qingling was a little slow and dropped a handkerchief in front of Chunlan's feet as if she was not paying attention. She then hurriedly took two steps to help her master get on the carriage!

When the people walked away, Chunlan calmly picked up the handkerchief, stuffed it into her sleeve, and returned to the main house.

Seeing that everyone was busy with their own things, he took out his handkerchief, approached Su Qingling and said:

"Madam, Qingling seemed to have dropped this thing on purpose just now. I don't know if I understood it correctly, so I took it back! Can you see if there is anything wrong with it?"

Su Qingling liked Chunlan's meticulousness the most. He took the handkerchief and saw that it seemed thicker than usual. He pinched the four edges and said,

"Take a needle and pick up the thread to see what's inside!"

Chunlan responded, took out a thin needle from the sewing box, and picked up one side of the handkerchief one by one. When it was completely opened, she saw that the side was bulged inwards twice. When it was unfolded, there were crooked brush strokes!

Chunlan's face changed drastically. She and Xia He had followed the young lady since they were young, so naturally they had learned a lot of words. She could understand the meaning of the words on it, so she hurriedly handed it to Su Qingling!

"Madam, it says here... that the Marquis and his men..."

She didn't dare to say it out loud, but she was shocked in her heart and really didn't want to believe what was said in it!

Su Qingling took the handkerchief and looked at it carefully one by one. There were less than 400 people in the two mansions of Xin'an Marquis, including masters and servants, and 58 of them had been bribed.

This number is quite astonishing. No wonder the words are written so small. At the end of the name, it says that the eldest lady must be careful of the young lady!

Chunlan couldn't help but wonder:

"Madam, is Qingling plotting something?"

Su Qingling smiled and said:

"She is just a maid, what conspiracy could she have? She probably can't bear to see the real master of the mansion being fooled, but she is afraid that we won't believe it and get herself into trouble!"

"If we were stupid, we would definitely stop her and return the handkerchief! Go and copy a list from Teng, and wait for Second Brother to give it to him. Ask him to take care of Qingling secretly so that she won't be implicated!"

Chunlan suppressed the turmoil in her heart, went to the desk to get paper and pen, and copied it carefully!

Su Qingling thought carefully about the ending of Qingling's previous life. It seemed that she fell into the lake on the night before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Because few people passed by at night, it was not discovered until early the next morning!

At that time, Su Qingyan was crying like a delicate flower hit by rain.

He only said that the girl lost her bracelet by the lake during the day. It was a souvenir left for her by her deceased mother. She insisted on going to find it immediately and no one could persuade her to stop.

I thought he had gone back to his room to rest after being found, but I didn't expect him to be gone just like that!

Thinking about it carefully, Qingling probably knew that no one in the Marquis' Mansion would believe the words of a little maid, and she also tested the eldest daughter and found out that she was stupid, so she hid the secret!

Su Qingyan discovered Qingling's abnormality and asked someone to take action against Qingling!

"Madam, someone is coming from the Changning Marquis's Mansion!"
