Chapter 106 Is this considered a token of love?
Su Yan'er waited for two days, thinking of various ways to explain what happened that day, and even rehearsed her story with her maid, but Qin Huai never summoned her to inquire about it.
Even Qin Yi never contacted her.
It seems this matter was simply covered up.
Could it be that they've grown tired of me because of this and no longer care about me?
Or perhaps the fourth sister said something detrimental to them, and they already know something?
Could it be that they already know about my relationship with my second brother?
......
Su Yan'er was restless and anxious, her mind racing with thoughts of the worst possible outcome.
Seeing Cuizhu push open the door and enter, Su Yan'er rushed forward in a panic and asked, "How did it go? Did you find out anything?"
Cui Zhu's expression was solemn, without a trace of a smile.
"This servant has learned that yesterday morning, the Marquis received a letter from Yunzhou and then hurriedly left. The Third Young Master went with him, and the two of them haven't returned yet. The Madam has woken up, but hasn't mentioned anything about what happened at Wanyue Courtyard that night..."
Cuizhu recounted everything she had learned about the various masters of the Marquis's mansion, including Qin Wan's appearance today in a magnificent new dress.
Su Yan'er's heart trembled slightly, and a sense of relief welled up inside her. Could it be that this matter was truly over?
But after the relief came panic. The letter from Yunzhou—wasn't that a letter from my second brother?
This gave her a bad feeling, and worry showed on her face. She asked again, "A letter from Yunzhou? Is it from my second brother? Have you found out what it said?"
Cuizhu shook her head. "The letter is in the Marquis's study. This servant has no right to go in. None of the Marquis's close attendants are in the Marquis's residence. This servant has no way of inquiring!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yan'er could no longer stand up; her legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the chair behind her.
The letter from Yunzhou must be about the suppression of bandits.
My uncle and third brother have been gone for two days and haven't returned. Could something big have happened in Yunzhou?
Is it still something bad?
Fear surged through her, and she desperately wanted to know the truth; in her heart, Qin Lang was already her 'husband'.
She has the right to know about Qin Lang's affairs.
Su Yan'er stopped thinking about it and went straight out of the courtyard, heading towards Qin Huai's study.
Here.
The sun is shining brightly today, and the warm breeze feels wonderful on my face.
Qin Wan did not break her promise; in fact, she arrived a quarter of an hour earlier than the agreed time.
She thought Xiao Jingyan hadn't arrived yet, but when she got there, he was already waiting.
Daming Lake is a lake within the city and was the first choice for many young ladies from prominent families in the capital to go out for leisure.
There is a small island in the middle of the lake.
The island was surrounded by lotus flowers, but since it was springtime, there were no lotus flowers yet, only newly sprouted lotus leaves.
The island's scenery was designed by the royal landscape architect, ensuring that flowers bloom on the island in every season, so that it is never barren in any particular season.
When Qin Wan arrived, she saw that there were already tour boats heading towards the island in the middle of the lake.
Xiao Jingyan glanced at Qin Wan and saw her coming over, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Wan'er, over here!"
Qin Wan raised her hand and waved at him, then lifted her skirt and walked quickly over.
Today, Qin Wan wore a light green, wide-sleeved, flowing gauze dress. The light gauze fluttered around her in the breeze, making her look like a fairy in spring.
There were quite a few people taking boat trips on Daming Lake today, and some of them have already noticed Qin Wan.
However, Qin Wan was betrothed to the most useless fifth prince, and she even seduced the fourth prince. They all avoided such a shameless person.
It seems that anyone who gets even the slightest connection with her will be filthy.
Qin Wan didn't care about their strange looks. In her previous life at Leishan Temple, she had received much harsher looks and words.
At that time, she was overwhelmed, but the hope in her heart kept her going. She thought her family would take her back, but she died before they came to pick her up.
Qin Wan didn't care, but Nian Qi was not someone to be trifled with.
Following behind Qin Wan, she caught a glimpse of the unfriendly gazes of the crowd and immediately glared back.
"What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!"
Those people were all young ladies from noble families. They were naturally startled by Nian Qi's threats. By the time they realized they had been insulted and wanted to retort, Qin Wan and the others had already gone far away.
Wan Shuang now admires Nian Qi more and more; no, not just admires, but idolizes him.
She hesitated to say certain vulgar things, wondering if they would affect her mistress, but Nianqi was so direct, not caring about anything else, only feeling secretly pleased. She wanted to be like that in the future.
Wan Shuang secretly gave Nian Qi a thumbs up.
Nianqi, on the other hand, had an arrogant expression, and the slanted corners of her mouth seemed to say: This is nothing, I haven't shown you anything more powerful yet.
"I've kept Your Highness waiting!"
After bowing, Qin Wan sat down opposite Xiao Jingyan.
Qin Wan looked stunning today, and Xiao Jingyan was almost stunned. In his eyes, all the young ladies present today paled in comparison to his Wan'er; the others were like heaven and earth.
"Wan'er, it's still early. Let's eat something first, and then start our boat trip!"
As she spoke, Xiao Jingyan pushed the food in front of her toward Qin Wan.
Putting everything else aside, Xiao Jingyan's ability to discover delicious food is truly impressive.
Every time they met, he would prepare food that Qin Wan had never eaten before, and these were all novel snacks that tasted quite good.
Whenever Qin Wan took a bite of something and then took a second bite, Xiao Jingyan would prepare another portion the next day and send it to the Marquis of Pingding's residence.
Qin Wan was grateful for Xiao Jingyan's kindness.
He was so good to her, so patient, and she had never done anything for him.
So this time Qin Wan didn't eat it directly, but took a sachet from her waist and handed it over.
"Thank you for taking care of me during this time, Your Highness. Nianqi is doing very well, and I like her very much. I wonder if Your Highness needs anything or what I should prepare. This is a sachet that I embroidered myself. Please don't find it offensive!"
Qin Wan presented it with both hands. Xiao Jingyan's mouth opened slightly, and he stared blankly for a few seconds, looking at the small sachet lying in Qin Wan's hand. A faint fragrance wafted over as she held it out.
When Qin Wan saw that Xiao Jingyan didn't answer, she thought he didn't like it, and her joy faded a bit.
"If Your Highness is not pleased..."
"I love it! I love it!"
Xiao Jingyan didn't know what had happened to him just now; he only came to his senses when he saw Qin Wan looking lost.
This is a sachet she embroidered herself; how could he not like it?
He would like anything she gave him, even something as simple as a cloth to wipe his feet.
"Thank you, Wan'er, I like it very much!"
The sachet was transferred to Xiao Jingyan's palm. The small sachet looked even smaller in his large hands. Qin Wan frowned slightly, thinking that the sachet seemed to have been made too small.
Seeing Xiao Jingyan carefully put the sachet into his bosom, Qin Wan smiled again.
"I'm glad Your Highness doesn't mind!"
Xiao Jingyan's lips curled into a wide grin, almost reaching behind her ears, as if she had thought of something, and her cheeks began to blush.
She asked shyly, "Is this considered a token of our love?"
