Old Woman Fei and Qin Xian's family were finally locked up in the woodshed.

When Madam Xing heard the news, she was naturally furious, but she could not bring herself to beg Sister Feng, nor did she dare to tell the old lady. She could only bite the bullet and plead with Madam Wang.

Madam Wang invited Madam Xing to sit on the kang.

"Sister-in-law, I've only just heard about Little Feng's matter and she was indeed a little rash.”

She personally served tea to Madam Xing.

Lady Xing was full of dissatisfaction and was about to badmouth Sister Feng in front of Lady Wang when she was stopped by this cup of tea.

She forced a smile." Grandma Lian was born in a rich family, after all. It's normal for her to look down on ordinary people." I'll teach those blind things a lesson tomorrow. Why should I embarrass myself in front of Grandma?”

Mrs. Wang pretended not to hear her words and maintained her good expression."What rich family? Sister-in-law must be joking. Little Feng lost her father when she was young and was brought up as a man. She was straightforward when she spoke and did things, not knowing how to beat around the bush. If it was intentional, with my knowledge, I'm afraid it might not be so.”

"I don't care whether it's intentional or not," said Madam Xing mockingly. He was high and mighty, and he was just in a precarious situation. Why should he be so hot-faced and stick to his cold buttocks? Although my face isn't worth much, I still want it.”

A wave of resentment burst out from his mouth.

Lady Wang comforted her: " Sister-in-law, you don't have to think like that. Little Feng was in the wrong. I apologize on her behalf. Sister-in-law, please forgive me." Now that Little Feng is valued by Old Lady, even I….. We don't usually manage the household, so it's better to avoid trouble.”

Lady Xing looked at Lady Wang in surprise.

From her words, she seemed to be dissatisfied? She couldn't tell for a while and could only hide it in her heart.

"I'm a tiger that has fallen from Ping Yang, a piece of meat on the chopping board. Even if I wanted to slap her face, no one would respond. It's just that poor old woman Fei is old and has been with me for many years. She was humiliated and beaten half to death in public. Even if she kills and sets fire, she should be able to pay for it.”

Madam Wang laughed coldly in her heart." Don't worry, Sister-in-law. I've already gotten someone to release Old Madam Fei and Qin Xian's family. This was a lesson for them.”

"Thank you then," said Madam Xing casually. They were all idiots. Even their words could be heard by others. What else could they rely on?”

Madam Wang could tell what was going on, but she didn't point it out. She only said,"Little Feng has also passed. After all, you are her mother-in-law. You shouldn't let her have her way.”

Madam Xing sneered." How can I find trouble with her? If she doesn't find trouble with me, I'll be grateful!”As he spoke, he stood up.

Madam Wang expressionlessly sent her out of the East Courtyard. She turned around and instructed Zhou Rui's family," Go and find Little Feng. If such a thing happens again in the future, deal with it the same way as today!" This old woman likes to make trouble out of nothing. What if she doesn't punish her severely?”

Zhou Rui's family immediately forgot everything that had just happened and went to pass on the message to Sister Feng.

It was impossible to describe all the trivial matters in the Rong Mansion. Jia Lian used his studies as an excuse to temporarily hide from the storm. There were still some things that he could not see through and could not rush.

However, one person was very anxious.

However, ever since he signed that agreement, he had been waiting for a reply every day.

Three days had passed in a flash, but he was looking forward to it.

"Rui Zhu, do you think he forgot?”

Rui Zhu covered her mouth and laughed,"Miss, who is he?"”

"It's still that Jia Lian," said Ke Qing, rolling her eyes.”

" Oh…" The two girls deliberately dragged out their voices.

Ke Qing grabbed a pillow and threw it over." Shameless little hoof, I'm worried. If he forgets, where are we going to earn money?"”

"So you're thinking about his silver, not his people?" Bao Zhu said in a sudden realization.”

However, Qing was used to their teasing and was too lazy to be angry." If you want to climb up the social ladder, I'll sell you to him at a discount, okay?”

Rui Zhu smiled and said,"If you sell us, where can you find girls like us who don't despise the poor and love the rich?"”

As they were talking, Ke Qing's younger brother, Qin Zhong, ran in, panting." Sister, it's bad. There are many people carrying burdens outside." His father wanted to ask, but those people left after putting down their burdens. Look, there's only a letter left, specifically for you.”

"What letter?" However, Qing took the letter in confusion and opened it. It was only a list of gifts. In addition to the lake brush, Hui ink, Xuan paper, Duan inkstone, there were four ingots of gold and silver, four gifts, and fifty strings of money.

"Sir, didn't the people who came say who asked them to send it?" Rui Zhu asked.”

Qin Zhong shook his head." They didn't say anything. Sister, when I came, Master was angry about this! They would probably come over immediately. I'm leaving!"

Qin Zhong left in a hurry.

However, Ke Qing was extremely anxious. She stomped her feet." This is so senseless. Who wants to harm me? How am I going to explain this to my father? Father must think that I've done something shameful!”

Rui Zhu looked at the handwriting and whispered,""Miss, look at the handwriting, it looks a bit like Master Jia Lian's, right?”

But when you looked carefully again, it was indeed the same thin gold body.

Her flustered heart gradually calmed down.

"Daughter!" Qin Ye called out from outside the door.

Ke Qing and Rui Zhu Zhu quickly tidied up the room before opening the door to let him in.

Qin Ye sat down beside the zither in the cubicle and said heavily,""Do you have something to tell Father?"

Ke Qing hurriedly asked Rui Zhu to pour tea while explaining to Qin Ye.

He didn't care if these things were sent by Jia Lian or not. At this moment, he couldn't think of anyone else.

"So it's just a betrothal gift! I thought you were going to do something immoral.”

Qin Ye's expression relaxed slightly.

However, Qing's face was full of shame as she said coquettishly,"Father, what are you talking about? What kind of father would talk about his daughter like that?”

"This betrothal gift is not the same as the other betrothal gift." Qin Ye stroked his beard and smiled. Since you didn't make any secret deals, Father can rest assured. But do you know anything about Jia Lian? Which family was he from? How is his appearance and character?"

"Father, I've never left the Second House," Ke Qing said angrily. How do you know all this?"

Er Rui Zhu quickly replied,"Master, I heard from the nanny that she's the only one who's seen Master Jia."”

"Of the Jia family in the Divine Capital, the most wealthy and famous are the Rong and Ning Manors," Qin Ye muttered. Two months ago, the Second Young Master of the Rong Mansion got married to the niece of Wang Ziteng, the military governor of the capital camp. I only saw it from afar.”

But Qing didn't know about this and listened carefully. Could this Jia Lian be him?

Her heart was pounding. But he was married!

It shouldn't be him, right?

Qin Ye continued," A few days ago, I was chatting with my colleagues. I learned that the master who inherited the title in the Ningguo Manor only has one son. He's about the same age as you. If it was him, I wouldn't care about the fact that he almost ruined my Qin family's reputation.”

However, Qing secretly speculated that her Young Master Jia seemed to be older than her according to Nanny's words. She was afraid that he was not the Young Master of Ningguo Manor.

At this moment, Bao Zhu whispered," Master, there are at least 800 Jia's in the Divine Capital. Could it be that only these two families can have them?"”

Qin Ye said to Ke Qing," It's not that I'm trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful. I just want you to marry well and enjoy glory and wealth. Don't be like your father and mother, worrying about the family's finances for the rest of your life."”

He paused for a moment and then said,"If he really is the young master of the Ningguo Manor, then it's your daughter's fortune."”
