Chapter 766 I really have this idea
Qin Xin saw that Gu Qianhan's face was so gloomy that it looked like it was going to rain, and her heart was actually beating fast.
It’s not that she isn’t afraid of the cold-blooded Gu Qianhan, but she wants to say a few words for her master.
She loves to know all kinds of gossip, but today, for the first time, she doesn't want to know anything.
Because she had listened to discussions and ridicule all day in the mansion today. Almost everyone was saying bad things about the master, and some even spitted secretly towards their yard. She was almost angry to death.
What those people said below was much more unpleasant than what she said to Gu Qianhan now, and it spread at an astonishing speed!
All this couldn't have happened without Meng Yunlan's instructions!
But Meng Yunlan came to Qionghua Courtyard to act like a good person, pretending to plead with Jixiang and Mo Feng. Gu Qianhan was still there pulling with her and didn't push her away. Isn't this joining forces with outsiders to stab Shen Wantang in the back?
Qin Xin didn’t dare to imagine what people inside and outside the mansion would say about Shen Wantang tomorrow!
There are some things that the master herself doesn't want to say, and she is used to solving problems by herself and not letting Gu Qianhan worry about them.
But as a maid, she should speak up for her master, otherwise Gu Qianhan would think that her master would live a good life if she married him!
Fortunately, although Gu Qianhan looked ugly, he was not angry and walked out with a cold face.
Shuxiang let out a long sigh, then patted Qinxin: "Girl, you're sharp-tongued to others, but why are you being so aggressive to the young master? Aren't you afraid that he'll punish you by making you kneel outside for a whole day and night in anger?"
"Will not."
Qin Xin shook her head. The thorns on her body had disappeared. She was in a rare low mood, listless. "After all, I am also our young lady's maidservant. Even if the young master is angry, he will not punish me, just like our young lady will not go beyond the young master to punish his subordinates. They all care about each other, so even if they are offended by their subordinates, they will endure it."
"The young master has tolerated your offense, why do you look unhappy?"
"Sir, you're not tolerating me. You're giving the young lady face! I'm not unhappy. I just feel that our master has a hard time. The reason I offended you is because your people offended our master first. Ultimately, it was our master who suffered the loss first. It would have been fine if he had suffered the loss, but today he took the blame for her. Everyone in the mansion thinks it was our master who punished the guard to kneel, and they say such bad things about her. It's really infuriating."
Hearing this, Shuxiang couldn't help but sigh. "Those people in the mansion are spreading rumors. Someone must be secretly instructing them. But I don't think it has anything to do with the young master. The young master went to great lengths to marry our master, so he must really like her. Don't be so sarcastic to him all the time, lest he think you did this at the master's behest. What if it causes a rift between the two of you?"
Qin Xin nodded. "I just couldn't help myself, so I spoke too quickly. I'll be more careful next time. If he was kind to our master and always protected her, would I be so mean to him? It's because he's been tangled up with his sister-in-law!"
Shuxiang was about to say something else when a little maid suddenly came in and reported, "Sister Qinxin, Sanshui's steward is here. He's at the second gate and wants to see you!"
Qin Xin knew that Sanshui must have come to deliver a message again, so she immediately put away all her emotions, tidied her appearance, and went out.
When she reached the second gate and saw Sanshui waiting there, she smiled as usual: "Well done, brother Sanshui! I heard you rescued two children from the Tai family? The master praised you and even gave you a reward of fifty taels of silver and two little goldfish. You've made a fortune!"
Sanshui did receive a generous reward today. These gold and silver rewards were a huge sum of money that he could not get even after working in the Shen family for ten years.
He was very happy and therefore very motivated, and no matter how hard and difficult the task was, he didn't feel tired at all.
"Oh, Qin Xin, please stop flattering me. My reward is far less than what you give me! I still need to learn more from you and work harder!"
"Look, Brother Sanshui is so ambitious and hardworking. No wonder the master relies on you more and more!"
"Haha, yes, yes, working for a good master like the Young Madam, how can I not be more motivated? I have to be worthy of the master's trust, right?"
Sanshui exchanged a few pleasantries with Qin Xin with a smile, and soon got down to business. He lowered his voice and said, "My master asked me to inquire about the whereabouts of the young lady of the Zhongjing Marquis's Mansion, and I have already found out."
Qin Xin was puzzled: "The young lady of the Marquis Zhongjing's mansion? Why would the master inquire about her whereabouts?"
Sanshui whispered, "I don't know about that, but it will definitely be useful to the master, so go back and tell the master that the young lady goes to the Guanyin Hall of Baoyan Temple to burn incense almost every first and fifteenth day of the month."
"Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. I've also confirmed with the people at the Zhongjing Marquis's residence that the young lady will definitely go to burn incense tomorrow."
"After burning incense, she would go to the meditation room specially prepared for her in Baoyan Temple to rest. After having a vegetarian meal, she would return home. The meditation room is in the northwest corner of Baoyan Temple and is relatively secluded."
The young lady of the Zhongjing Marquis's Mansion was a low-key person, and she would not tell anyone about her visits to Baoyan Temple. Sanshui spent a lot of effort to find out about this, and even spent several taels of silver.
Because if you want someone to betray your master's whereabouts, you will have to take a huge risk. Who will tell you the truth if you don't pay them real money?
This is because Shen Wantang has given him a lot of rewards now, so he is willing to spend it like this. In the past, he would never be willing to do so.
When he was following Shen Guannian in the past, if he couldn't get any information, he would give up and find a reason to get the job done, and he would never pay for it himself.
Qin Xin heard Sanshui speak so seriously and in such detail, knowing that he must have put a lot of thought into it. She immediately said seriously, "Okay, I'll take note."
-
Front yard, study.
Gu Qianhan sat in front of the large desk with a cold expression, listening to the report from his subordinate Wu Mu.
"Sir, the eldest young lady's maid and nanny have confessed. Before Manager Pang went to report to her, the eldest young lady had already heard from the doorman that the second young lady's carriage had broken down and needed a new one to pick her up, so she deliberately avoided meeting Manager Pang."
"You mentioned earlier that the eldest young lady deliberately let the second young lady get wet in the rain to make her sick and unable to conceive. This has also been confirmed. The eldest young lady refused to send a carriage, and she indeed had this intention."
"Because according to the nanny who came with the eldest young lady, she has been unable to conceive, and it's related to the cold air that entered her body after being caught in a cold rain in the past."
"She herself can't get pregnant, and she doesn't want the Second Young Master's wife to get pregnant."
