Chapter 138 One Family, Two Nobles
Han Shu thought that Qin Lang's acceptance of Su Yan'er's care was equivalent to accepting the marriage.
But in the end, it still came down to the same thing: he was unwilling.
At the beginning of the year, they went to Leishan Temple, where the master calculated that Su Yan'er and Qin Lang's birth charts were compatible, and that if the two were to become a couple, they would surely become very wealthy and powerful.
At that time, Han Shu was certain that the two of them were meant for each other.
They also felt that Qin Lang's injury was a sign that he had not agreed to the marriage.
His current disagreement is difficult for Han Shu to accept.
"Lang'er, Yan'er is so good to you and loves you, why don't you agree?" Han Shu persisted and tried to dissuade her once again.
Yes, she once said that she loved him.
But why do you disagree now?
Why did she disagree?
Qin Lang also wanted to know if it was really because of his body.
If that's the case, then he has nothing to say. It's her choice, and he respects it.
"Mother, this matter was entirely your wishful thinking. I have been saying that I disagree. If you have nothing else to say, please go back. I need to rest!"
Qin Lang was unwilling to continue communicating with Han Shu, fearing that he might not be able to resist asking Su Yan'er the real reason.
After saying this, Qin Lang's expression turned very bad, and he coughed a few times, which frightened Han Shu so much that she dared not ask any more questions.
"Alright, Mother won't say anymore, you get some rest!"
Well, anyway, Yan'er is still living in the Marquis's mansion, and Lang'er's health is not yet fully recovered, so they still have a chance.
After giving her a few instructions, Han Shu left.
The date that was already set will probably have to be postponed.
After Han Shu left, Qingyan came in from outside.
Those who practice martial arts have excellent hearing, and Qingyan overheard some of their conversation.
He was a little worried and a little curious, and couldn't help but ask a question at the end.
"Young Master, you and Miss Yan'er have already... Why don't you tell Madam?"
Qin Lang lowered his eyes, exuding a chill.
"This matter must not be mentioned again, and it must not be spread, otherwise..."
Qingyan hurriedly shut his mouth. Although he didn't say the final threat, he knew that if he did, he would only face death.
It's just a pity for the young master. His heart, which had already accepted the situation, has now been shattered to pieces by Miss Yan'er.
In the evening, the servant of Nanfeng Courtyard quietly arrived at the West Wing Courtyard.
Su Yan'er dismissed all the servants, leaving only the young servant and herself in the room.
"How was it? What did Auntie say at Nanfeng Courtyard today?" Su Yan'er's heart was in her throat. If her second brother had told her about their affairs, she would be able to come up with a solution.
"When Madam left, she dismissed all the servants. I didn't hear what they said, but Madam only stayed for a short while before leaving. When she left, her expression wasn't good, so she must have been somewhat unhappy!"
Su Yan'er spent the whole day worrying in her courtyard, as Han Shu had not summoned her at all.
It seems that my second brother didn't say anything.
Thinking of this, Su Yan'er felt a pang of guilt, but this concerned her future happiness, and guilt alone could not make her turn back.
"Alright, you may go now. If there's anything else with your second brother, remember to report it immediately!"
"Yes!"
After receiving the reward, the servant left.
After leaving the West Wing, he did not go directly back to the South Wind Courtyard, but went to the Soft and Graceful Courtyard.
A person who can be bought with money will certainly not refuse a higher price.
Qin Wan is not short of money.
......
The next morning.
Knowing everything, Qin Wan only needed to sit back and watch the chaos unfold from the sidelines, adding fuel to the fire whenever necessary.
As for whether they would both suffer losses in the end, she didn't care.
Qin Wan wore a pale yellow silk dress today, and the jade hairpin with beads from the betrothal gifts was on her head. She was also adorned with other jewelry, making her look simple yet elegant.
She accepted the Sixth Princess's invitation today to accompany her to visit Fengdu City. It's best to keep her head decorations simple, otherwise her neck will easily get sore.
"Miss, is this alright?"
Looking at Qin Wan in the mirror, Wan Shuang thought, "Although Miss is already beautiful, isn't this a bit too plain?"
"Miss, you're accompanying the princess today, so why don't you bring this along as well?"
Wan Shuang placed a hairpin on Qin Wan's head to compare it. The hairpin matched her outfit well, but Qin Wan didn't want anything too complicated, so she declined.
"That's very good. It's getting late, so let's not keep Her Highness waiting!"
After saying that, Qin Wan stood up, not giving Wan Shuang time to put the hairpin in her hair.
That's it. If Miss doesn't agree, no one can change that.
After gathering what she needed, Wan Shuang followed Qin Wan out of Wanyue Courtyard.
They waited at the door, and glancing around, they could already see the Sixth Princess's carriage not far away.
Just then, a horse stopped in front of Qin Wan.
"Good news from Yunzhou! This is to inform the Marquis that you must open the gates immediately!"
With a loud shout, the gate, which had been half-closed, was opened from the inside, and a person dismounted and ran quickly into the Marquis's residence.
The crowd watched the guard's retreating figure until he disappeared from sight.
"Qin Wan, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Lingyun's voice came from their side, drawing their attention back.
Qin Wan bowed with her maidservant behind her.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
After getting up, Qin Wan said, "Her Highness the Princess sent word that she is going out for a stroll today, so we can't keep her waiting. That's why we're here waiting for her!"
After saying that, Xiao Lingyun raised the corners of her mouth. She was straightforward and disliked being late, so Qin Wan's behavior suited her just the way she wanted.
"Have you been waiting long? Come on up!"
Qin Wan boarded Xiao Lingyun's carriage, Wan Shuang sat in the back maid's carriage, and Nian Qi protected Qin Wan, riding a horse alone.
After everyone was seated, the carriage continued its journey. Qin Wan gave the destination, and the coachman drove the carriage there.
Xiao Lingyun was truly surprised to see Qin Wan. The person she used to hate so much was actually sitting in the same carriage with her and going on a trip. Life is truly unpredictable.
"Who was that person from your Marquis's residence who dismounted just now? Why were they in such a hurry and didn't even bow to you?" Xiao Lingyun was also a curious person, and thinking of the scene just now, she couldn't help but ask.
“That’s a messenger from Yunzhou, here to deliver good news to the Marquis’s residence!” Qin Wan replied.
Xiao Lingyun opened her eyes slightly, a smile playing on her lips: "Young Master Qin is truly remarkable. Since he went to Yunzhou, every report he has sent has been one of victory. He will surely be able to quell the banditry in Yunzhou soon. When that happens, Young Master Qin will be granted a higher title, and your Marquis's family will have two titles!"
Two noble titles in one family!
Qin Wan paused, realizing that even a family with three noble titles had nothing to do with her.
But she still followed with a smile.
"If that's the case, then thank you for your kind words, Princess!" Qin Wan didn't want to talk about the Marquis's residence while they were out, so she changed the subject.
"Princess, today we'll go to the South City first. There's a fireworks display there; I heard it's a troupe from the North. After that, we'll go to the Small Pavilion to listen to some clapper talk. I've heard it once before, and it was quite good..."
Qin Wan had arranged today's itinerary perfectly, with plenty of food and fun activities.
In the previous life, Xiao Lingyun encountered danger outside the city. In this life, as long as she is not allowed to leave the city, it should be avoided!
But the next second, Xiao Lingyun said, "You've made excellent arrangements, but I heard there's a horse race outside the city today, and you can place bets. I'd like to go and take a look!"
