Chapter 20 The prefect's wife came to apologize
Qin Li looked happy, "It's him?"
That's right, except for the third young master, who would have helped her secretly with such kindness?
The third young master helped her so much, how should she repay him?
After a while, Guo took the medicine and walked into the bedroom. He took care of Qin Li personally as before. He took this opportunity to tell Qin Li a good news.
"Li'er, you've brought the jade pendant back, and your father also said, you've done it right. What a pity that such a good jade pendant has been worn for a long time for nothing."
After hearing this, Qin Li pursed her lips and smiled.
During these days, Guo would take care of her and feed her medicine. No matter what, Guo would listen to her suggestions. Sometimes, he would accept her suggestions.
She felt contented to see her parents being able to treat her like this.
Because this was in the Daning Dynasty, in ancient times, there were not many people who could listen to their daughter’s advice like her parents.
Qin Li took advantage of Guo’s mention of these things and after taking that bowl of medicine, he expressed his thoughts:
"Mom, the child can successfully withdraw from the marriage with that person and will no longer have anything to do with him. This also requires thanks to Uncle Shi and the third son and the disciples for their help. The child wants to thank them well."
After hearing this, Guo's eyes flashed with gratitude. His daughter was with her and she knew how to be grateful.
"Your father and I think so too, and we have to thank them well. It's just that the man was in the yamen before, and he said too badly..."
After being omitted by Guo's words, Qin Li quickly guessed: I wanted to say that when Fu Yu was in the yamen, she and the third son had discussed it, one fell into the water and the other was a hero to save the beauty.
The third young master must be feeling uncomfortable after hearing those words.
If her father went to invite the third son and two masters and apprentices to visit the house, I wonder if the third son would feel embarrassed because of that incident?
After hearing this, Qin Li remembered what Qinghe told her before, and Guo probably didn't know yet. So he told Guo that the third young master had secretly asked those women to help her rescue.
Guo's eyes showed unhidden joy, "Okay, that's great."
Just then, Qin Li heard a slight knock on the door and said, "Come in."
The door is not closed.
Mo Zhu's words came soon: "Report to the wife, lady, a distinguished guest has come to the mansion. The master asked me to come, so that I could invite my wife to the private room..."
"Are you a visitor?" Guo looked puzzled. He didn't know who was here, and what other distinguished guests were.
Logically speaking, Li'er's engagement with that person was terminated in the yamen. I am afraid that the parents of many students living in Jiayu City have already heard of this.
A few days ago, many parents of students came to send gifts.
But today...
Guo's beautiful eyebrows were slightly locked, and his face was filled with a sad look. But in just a blink of an eye, Guo returned to his calmness. He reached out and held Qin Li's hand and said:
"Whoever is here? Li'er, you have to have a good rest. When my mother goes to see the guests, she will come to accompany Li'er."
Qin Li smiled knowingly, "Mom, go and do your business, your child is obedient."
Guo saw Qin Li so well-behaved that he walked out of the bedroom with confidence to meet the guests.
As soon as Guo left the room, Qin Li quickly changed her clothes and hid outside the private room next to the hall and eavesdropped.
When I heard this, I heard a strange female voice:
"... When Lao Shi heard that the girl had caused trouble, he immediately took people around to search. So, he finally found the dead girl before dark. She was disobedient to discipline, which made us the Chu family embarrassed, and almost killed Lin Ai."
"You and I are both mothers, and I know how difficult it is to raise children. What's more, you and Master Qin are both close to you and have a daughter, and they are born like fairies and have a good education. I have heard of you and Master Qin for a long time, and I envy you and Master Qin."
"I just didn't expect that a woman I admired very much, but was harmed by the dead girl I educated!"
The woman's voice was choked:
"Today, Lao Shi will discuss with the master and I will definitely give you, Master Qin, and Ling Ai an explanation. Lao Shi has ordered someone to tie the dead girl up. Now it will be in your house and let you and Ling Ai deal with it."
After hearing those words, a trace of mockery flashed through Qin Li's eyes.
If someone who didn't know what the woman said, I would probably think that the woman was very sincere.
But this is not the case.
The woman simply relies on her family's official position as the prefect and has power in Jiayu Mansion. Even if she tied up the scumbag Chu Xinyan, their family members would not dare to do anything to Chu Xinyan.
Living in Jiayu, if you dare to provoke the magistrate, isn't you tired of living?
With her understanding of her mother, even if she knew in her heart that the prefect came here just to perfunctory them. But in front of the prefect, she could not say anything.
Qin Li didn't want to lose such a good opportunity. People sent Chu Xinyan. Without saying anything else, they knelt down to apologize to her in person. This is a must.
As for medical expenses, mental loss expenses, etc., this has to be calculated for her.
She is a victim, so she cannot suffer this loss!
Qin Li quickly heard Guo's words:
"Mrs. Chu, you said this, Lao Shi was a little embarrassed. You see, the people who have harmed the little girl are not only Miss Chu in your mansion, but also Mo Yu, a maid in our mansion. Lao Shi and his wife can let Mo Yu go, why should they punish Miss Chu?"
Compared with the maid at home, this trick is really great compared to the daughter of the prefect.
Qin Li silently gave her mother a thumbs up in her heart.
After Guo's words fell, only a soft sigh came from the other side of the private room.
After a long time, Qin Li heard the words of the prefect's wife again:
"It seems that you already know the life experience of that girl Xinyan, Mrs. Qin. Since you know it, Lao Shi doesn't have to worry too much. Xinyan is the girl from the song, but after she was born, she was personally educated by Lao Shi. Lao Shi did not look at her with a strange look because of Xinyan's background."
"Mrs. Chu, I understand." Guo said.
Only then did Qin Li realize that Chu Xinyan was not the legitimate daughter of the prefect, but just a concubine.
I just don’t know if the prefect has a legitimate daughter. If so, Chu Xinyan’s status at home will definitely be inferior to that of the legitimate daughter.
Qin Li sneered in her heart, Fu Yu, don’t you like the official daughter? Why did you find only a concubine of a girl named Chu Xinyan?
He also thought he was so capable, hum, but that's it.
The words of the prefect's wife came:
