Minglan even speculated that the reason why Xiao Qin became like this is very likely because Xiao Qin once loved Gu Tingye's father Gu Yankai, or perhaps because he envied Gu Yankai and her sister, Gu Tingyu's biological mother, Da Qin, for the unswerving love that lasted until death.

But since the death of Daqin, Gu Yankai's heart has become more and more obsessed with each other than loving and favoring the two wives behind him.

When the Qin family died at the beginning, Xiao Qin family probably wanted to marry Gu Yankai and become his second wife to fill the house. However, unexpectedly, such a thing happened suddenly in Ningyuan's Marquis' Mansion. For the safety of the Marquis' Mansion, Gu Yankai had to marry Bai, a salt merchant.

Love is not allowed, and because love makes hatred, Xiao Qin's psychology is distorted. However, although she hates Gu Yankai, she loves even more, so she can only blame Gu Tingye and his son for all her resentment.

The former biological mother of Gu Tingye, Bai Shi, was so excited that she died of puerperal hemorrhage after hearing what Xiao Qin said to Gu Tingyu, who was only a few years old.

The resentment in Xiao Qin's heart also moved to Gu Tingye with Bai's death.

In fact, Minglan looked down on Xiao Qin from the bottom of her heart, she was dirty and despicable, and her psychological distorted and perverted. The key is that she didn't know how to restrain herself and never ended. She was already old, but she liked to pretend to be weak and pretended to be weak. Just looking at her makes people disgusting.

And now, among the people around Xiao Qin, there are a few of them who have been bribed by Gu Tingye. As long as Xiao Qin does something unusual, Gu Tingye and Minglan can know at any time.

Moreover, many of the positions of the managers in the Marquis’ Mansion are controlled by the people from the fourth and fifth rooms. Xiao Qin is a tiger with hair plucked and an evil eagle with broken wings. The threat is no longer as great as before.

Minglan was deeply impressed by Wei Yun’s words, fighting endless joy with the sky, fighting endless joy with the earth, and fighting endless joy with people.

If even a mere little Qinshi who had broken her wings could not deal with it, then Minglan would have wasted the teachings of such old ladies and Wei Yun.

The young eagle always spreads its wings, and the young tiger always learns to prey on its own. Wei Yun cannot protect Minglan for the rest of his life. After all, Minglan has to do some things by himself.

Moreover, the so-called Bian Mansion is actually just a small door opening on the wall between Chengyuan and Hou Mansion. It is only eight feet high and four feet wide. It seems a bit crowded when the two people walk side by side.

In late April, bright peach blossoms filled the entire Chengyuan, and the scent of the scent even floated out of the courtyard wall about a foot, and the entire Chengyuan was shrouded in the fragrance of peach blossoms.

The banquet of Ningyuan Marquis's mansion filled the noble families of Bianjing City. The uncle Shen Congxing, Marquis of Weibei, and his eldest wife Zou and Shen Congxing's sister Xiao Shen also brought their husband, General Zheng.

The British Duke's wife and Zhang naturally would not be absent. Of course, Minglan's mother's Sheng family was naturally invited.

In the side hall of the Marquis' Mansion, Xiao Qin sat in the upper head, and a group of noble ladies who had been friends with Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion sat on both sides. Zhang and the British Duke's wife were also among them. Mrs. Wu from the Earl's Mansion of Yongchang.

The remaining few are also the eldest ladies of the noble families, who are much older than Zhang's family, seem to be much different from Mrs. Wu and Xiao Qin's family.

Xiao Qinshi shook the ball in her hand and still had the kind-hearted look on her face, and even spoke softly. As she was speaking, she picked up the candied fruit on the small table next to her, bit her brow and frowned.

When several wives in the field saw that Xiao Qin suddenly changed his expression, they naturally subconsciously asked why.

Xiao Qin sighed and complained to the ladies, "I don't know where my second wife got these candied fruits. The taste is a bit different from the candied fruits used in the past. I am used to eating the candied fruits from the original store used in the mansion. I think the fruits from the original store used in the mansion are better."

Silently, Minglan was brought into the topic. As he spoke, he was involved in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Xiao Qin was naturally weak, and looked pitiful and could only let him go.

When she thought that Xiao Qin's own son is now far southwest, she could only live with Gu Tingye, the stepson, the few women in the side hall immediately became sympathetic and stood directly on Xiao Qin's side, criticizing Minglan for not knowing whether she was filial to her mother-in-law and wanted to take care of everything.

They were all concerned about comforting the weak and pitiful little Qin. No one noticed that Zhang, who was drinking tea, was getting darker and darker, and it was so heavy that water was almost dripping.

"Bang"

A sudden sound suddenly penetrated, interrupting the comfort and complaints of several wives and the grievances of Xiao Qin's grievances.

Everyone's eyes in the side hall looked in the sound and gathered on Zhang. The people in the field knew Zhang's temperament a little, knowing that Zhang was a person who could not rub the sand in his eyes.

Everyone thought that Zhang had sympathy for Xiao Qin after listening to Xiao Qin's words. As for the sudden blow just now, he was dissatisfied with the second wife of Minglan, Xiao Qin's words.

Even the little Qin family thought so. It is not difficult to see the pride in Qin's eyes that was not revealed but the smug look in his eyes.

But when Zhang opened his mouth, everyone in the side hall except the British Duke's wife was shocked, and he couldn't believe his ears.

"Since Mrs. Qin thinks that Mrs. Shan did something wrong, it should have been a long time ago, instead of complaining about this and that with us here now.

I remember when I first married into the Wei family, I didn’t know anything, but I was the chief lady of the Wei family and the mistress of the mansion. Even if I don’t know some things, I have to learn to do.

At the beginning, there were also many troubles. Fortunately, two reasonable second sisters were helping each other and giving instructions from the side. Although they were bumpy all the way, there was no big trouble.

I remember that Mrs. Shan and Mrs. Gu got married for just one year, and even if they were admitted to the imperial examination, they would take ten years to enter the officialdom. Mrs. Shan had just been a wife of Mrs. Gu for a year. She could make the banquet look like this now after just getting started with the housekeeper. There were irregularities and no mistakes were made.

Gu Hou can marry such an old lady, and the grandmother can have such a daughter-in-law, so she should be happy. Why are she still picking her own bones here? She doesn't have to blame her daughter-in-law for not being here.

If others don’t know, they think that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Ningyuan Hou’s house are in conflict, and Gu Hou and Grandma Sheng are slow to treat your stepmother.”

Especially with the word stepmother, Zhang's tone was deliberately aggravated a little.

As soon as Zhang finished speaking, the British lady next to Zhang spoke, "Madam Qin, although my family's words were a little irresponsible, the reason is that. You and I are all of us at this age, and our children and grandchildren are older. With our own ideas, we should be the time to enjoy our grandchildren and live our lives.

Let the younger generation take care of the inside and outside of this family. If they do something wrong, we are the elders to give advice from the side. After all, we are not young anymore. In the future, these things will always be handed over to them. You say it is right?

Xiao Qin smiled embarrassedly and said, "The Duke's wife is right." It's just that smile, no matter how you look at it, you can force yourself.

The British Duke of England is a famous figure in the circle of official and noble ladies in Bianjing City. The female relatives in the entire circle of nobles are also the most noble, and they have always been known for their justice and are highly praised in the circle.

Now that she even said this, Xiao Qinshi naturally did not dare to argue. The wives who had already expressed deep sympathy for Xiao Qinshi and hated Minglan also changed their previous complaints to Minglan and agreed to the British Duke's wife.

But Zhang's words were not finished yet, "You have heard of the massacre that shocked Bianjing last year."

Recommended, aiiread is really good and worth installing. After all, there are many books, all books, and fast updates

Zhang's topic changed suddenly, and the wives in the hall had not yet reacted. Only Mrs. Wu from the Earl's Mansion frowned slightly and said, "But the family massacre that the Nanzhen Fushi Department investigated and dealt with was forced to death last year."

When it comes to extermination, even though the wives in the hall are used to the market, they can't help but feel a little bit disgusted. There are many wives and concubines in these aristocratic families who compete for favor, and they often mess with the concubines in their mansions on weekdays.

But killing people is extremely rare, especially the family of five is forced to death.

Xiao Qin's heart was shaking, and her face suddenly changed, "Madam Zhang, today is a happy day, so don't mention these unlucky and scary things."

Several ladies also said, "Yes, yes, what Madam Qin said is reasonable. Today is a happy day for the Marquis's Mansion. How unlucky it is to say these things."

Zhang sneered, looking at Xiao Qin's eyes full of mocking contempt, and said, "Originally, this matter shouldn't be said on this occasion today, it's a big day for the Marquis's Mansion."

But Zhang's voice suddenly changed, "But since Madam Qin said that, I have to mention this matter. Do you know who the criminal was in that case?"

Last year, although the case first happened, although it caused a sensation in Bianjing City, the official family had just ascended the throne, and the case involved the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion. This matter was related to Gu Tingye and was used by those who were interested and became a handle to suppress their Yuzhou.

Emperor Yong'an asked the Nanzhen Fushi to suppress the matter. Because people outside only knew that the case had been settled, the criminal was suppressed to Caishikou and beheaded on the spot in front of the people of Bianjing. Afterwards, the clans of the family also received corresponding compensation, and the matter was considered to have passed.
