Chapter 312
Li Qin Wang Fei only thought that Qin Jiu was shy after not seeing any response from her and continued, “Third Miss Qin, don’t blame me for being shallow, you are Zezhi’s future wife and I am going to be your royal aunt, and what I am telling you today is not only for the sake of Duan Wang Fei but also for your own good.”
“Don’t just think that Zezhi is from a royal family, there are many people in the royal clan that has no rank or titles.”
“Think about it, you will soon be married into the Duan Wang fu, if Duan Wang Fei and the Duan Wangye divorce, then Zezhi will have even less chance to become the heir.”
“The current heir is just a concubine-born son and his wife is only from a small official family while you on the other hand are a daughter of a marquis…”
Li Qin Wang Fei paused for a moment before staring deeply at Qin Jiu.
Her point was very obvious, would Qin Jiu be willing to spend her life as an ordinary wife of the royal clan?!
In the future, Duan Wang Fei and Madam Gu would exist in the same world, same place, and there was no way there would be no comparison at all! And once this happens, would Qin Jiu be willing to bow her knees to the Duan Wang Fei in the future?!
Li Qin Wang Fei “point out” while Qin Jiu just quietly listens, but her thoughts were already out of the conversation and just occasionally responded with “oh”, and “yeah”.
Although Qin Jiu did not make a clear statement, Li Qin Wang Fei believed that the little girl in front of her understood what she meant, and looked at Qin Jiu with certainty as her eyes flickered.
Duan Wangye resides on the border and Duan Wang Fei was the consort, on the western border, this couple lives like an emperor of the land.
Knowing this, she didn’t believe that Qin Jiu would not take interest in the title Duan Wang Fei, who could give up the glory and fortune that was within her reach!
Li Qin Wang Fei talked for a full cup of tea time before she stopped, and finally added meaningfully, “Third Miss Qin, for your own sake, for the sake of your brother, you should also think carefully.”
If Gu Zezhi could inherit the title of Duan Wang, he, the husband would honor his wife and with the support of the Duan Wang House, it would not be impossible for Qin Zening to take back the marquis title.
Duan Wang Fei doesn’t listen to her words, but it should be different when it comes to her son and daughter-in-law, after all, she had to take care of their interest, right?
Seeing that Li Qin Wang Fei finished speaking, Qin Jiu took her leave and got off the royal carriage.
Du Ruo was still waiting for her at the entrance of the alley, and once Qin Jiu came back, the master and the servant walked towards Xiao’s mansion, while Li Qin Wang Fei in the carriage open the curtain again and watched Qin Jiu enter the mansion.
“Third Miss Qin.”
As soon as the gatekeeper saw Qin Jiu, and several other maidservants all greeted her warmly and curtsied in succession.
The momo in charge was Madam Xiao’s confidant, Shi momo, whom Qin Jiu knew, so she called her out.
In front of the second gate before entering the courtyard, the area was in a disarray. Several carriages were parked as servants unload heavy boxes from the carriages.
Qin Jiu couldn’t help but take another glance, seeing this, Shi momo immediately said beamingly, “This is Madam’s dowry, which has just been moved back from the Western Border.”
Shi momo ordered the servants to carefully pack Madam Xiao’s dowry before she personally led Qin Jiu in the direction of the inner courtyard.
Knowing that Duan Wang Fei doted on her future daughter-in-law, Shi momo didn’t hide it from Qin Jiu and said as they walked, “This servant personally went to Western Border to pick up the madam’s dowry. And you know what Third Miss Qin, as soon as this slave arrive, the heir’s consort specially sent someone to help this slave clean up the madam’s courtyard.”
Shi momo curled her lips in disdain, “She’s just a concubine’s daughter-in-law, but she really thinks she’s some kind of noble person, how can she have the impression that any Tom, Dick, and Harry can enter the madam’s courtyard?!”
Shi momo was Madam Xiao’s confidant, so she naturally doesn’t really have a good impression of the heir’s consort, not to mention the consort’s actions were nothing worthy of a good impression!
Shi momo was not a fool, it may seem like the heir’s consort wished for the madam and Duan Wangye to reconcile but she probably hoping that Concubine Feng would soon take over!
Along the way, Shi momo kept on talking about the things that happened on the way back to the capital, including being delayed for a few days because of the rainstorm, and encountering some mountain bandits blocking their way in Qinzhou, fortunately, the accompanying guards beat the mountain bandits away.
While talking, they soon arrived at the main courtyard and went into the inner room.
Inside, Madam Xiao was sitting on the arhat bed by the window while happily rummaging through the jewelry box.
Seeing Qin Jiu coming, Madam Xiao waved at her and said, “Xiao Jiu, come here!”
Madam Xiao pulled Qin Jiu to sit beside her and happily picked out a necklace of eight jewels and put it on Qin Jiu herself. She also picked a pair of bracelets carved with phoenixes and gold-encrusted jade and put them on Qin Jiu’s wrist.
She said with a smile, “The little girl’s family must be well dressed.”
Qin Jiu knew that Madam Xiao liked bright colors, and so every time she came to Xiao Mansion she would wear bright clothes such as crimson, rose red, duck yellow, green lotus, and any other bright color clothes.
Today, she was wearing primrose-colored clothes, which perfectly matches the eight jewels necklace and a gold encrusted-jade bracelet given by Madam Xiao.
Madam Xiao was indeed good at dressing up!
Qin Jiu looked for traces of her youth on Madam Xiao’s old and kind face and saw that Gu Zezhi and Madam Xiao looked very similar. Madam Xiao must have been very beautiful when she was young.
Qin Jiu took a rosewood hairpin inlaid with several gems from the small jewelry box, “Madam Xiao, this hairpin matches your complexion, come and try it!”
She then enthusiastically leaned over to put the hairpin on Madam Xiao’s hair, which the latter liked, and also lean closer to Qin Jiu so the former could put the hairpin on her hair.
The eldest maidservant, Qing Lu, came over with a mirror to show Madam Xiao her reflection. Smiling, she complimented. “Look Madam, Third Miss Qin has really good eyes, this hairpin really suits you!”
Madam Xiao raised her hand and stroke the hairpin in front of the mirror as she nodded her head and said, “Xiao Jiu does have a good eye!”
Qin Jiu rubbed her small chin, showing a thoughtful look, and said, “Madam Xiao, your clothes don’t match this hairpin. You have to change it.”
With that, she looked at Qing Lu and asked, “Qing Lu, do you have any clothes with bright colors?”
“Yes, yes!” Qing Lu replied repeatedly, calling several servant girls to act immediately, and rummaged out several clothes.
