Chapter 196 Miss, Is This a Brothel?
The man helped a woman down from the carriage. Then the woman stood beside the carriage and seemed to say something to the man. At first glance, one could know that the two were passionately in love. It seemed that they had a lot to say, so they stood there and talked for a while, after which the woman slightly turned her head, looking pretty delicate.
The man seemed to be leaving, but the woman gently pulled his sleeve and refused to let him go! Then they seemed to talk for a while. After that, when the woman wanted to talk again, the man got impatient and was about to leave.
But this time, he was grabbed by the woman again. The woman turned her head and whispered in the man’s ear. Although they could not see the expression on her face in the distance, her manner and demeanor let people know that the woman was coquettish at this time. After that, the woman covered her face and went to the door.
The man behind looked very happy and laughed loudly.
Before entering, the woman looked back again and smiled. Then she entered the mansion. The man watched the woman entering the door with a good mood. Later, he got in the carriage, which then started out slowly and left. When it passed the carriage of Qin Wanru, a man could be seen sitting in the carriage through the window whose curtain was lifted.
He did not look very outstanding, but looked a bit refined, as if he was a gentleman.
But according to his behavior just now, one could find that there was nothing similar to the so-called gentleman in him. He actually flirted with an unmarried woman in front of the mansion, which even engaged couples would not do. However, the two seemed to be proficient at what they did just now.
It could be seen that they had done these things more than one or two days!
In fact, the two people were not an engaged couple. Qin Wanru looked at the window, where the face of the man flashed by. She was greatly shocked and her hands holding the handkerchief were cold!
It was Wang Shengxue, who was her first fiance in the last life, a man who looked quite decent. Although his face was not outstanding, his righteousness would make people think that this was a real gentleman, which was the reason why she agreed with Madam Di’s arrangement in the last life.
He looked like a gentleman, but he never did what a gentleman should do. The woman just now was really Ning Xueqing. In the last life, Qin Wanru always thought that Ning Xueqing was also a resolute woman. Although she was scheming, what she had done was for her lover.
Now she found out that Ning Xueqing was not resolute, but so obsequious. As a young lady of an aristocratic family, she should not have flirted with a man at the door, even though her family had declined. All kinds of her behaviors would make people think that she did it intentionally, and had no shame.
Such a woman who had no sense of shame and could do everything for her own interest was Ning Xueqing.
If her guess was right, the woman she saw in the teahouse was Ning Caixian, Di Yan’s cousin. Originally, she did not know anything about it. It turned out that this was another trap that Madam Di and her daughter had set for her in the last life.
Besides, there was another pair of bad sisters in this game.
Qin Wanru bit her lips tightly, and swallowed the blood surging up from her throat with ferocity in her eyes.
Although Qin Wanru’s reputation was not good when she first came to the capital, Jiangzhou was far away from the capital. Madam Di and her daughter had the upper hand in Qin’s Mansion, so even though most people felt that she was inferior, some people still felt that she was framed by Madam Di. There was much competition among the women in aristocratic families, so some people could clearly see what had happened.
So the matter that the engagement was broken off happened later.
Wang Shengxue’s appearance made people think he was upright, so nobody thought that Madam Di had done something wrong when Qin Wanru was framed and forced to marry such a man. Qin Wanru’s family background was mighty, but her reputation was bad. So what else could she ask for? It was good for her that such a person was willing to marry her!
No one said that Madam Di had done something wrong regarding this marriage.
However, the breaking off of the engagement that happened in the capital made Qin Wanru’s reputation worse. The world had always been tolerant of men. After the breaking off of the engagement, they did not say that Wang Shengxue had misbehaved, but said that Qin Wanru was not only low, but also cursed. They also said that it was not good for anyone to know her, and people who were of good conduct would become bad if they knew her!
Since then, no one in the capital was willing to marry her. Then Madam Di framed her for the second time…
Qin Wanru twisted the handkerchief in her hands.
“Miss…” Yujie looked at Qin Wanru uneasily and asked carefully.
Qin Wanru took a deep breath, and showed an expression that looked like a smile on her face. In her eyes, there was a strong grumpiness. This grumpiness, which almost came from hell, made Yujie, who grew up in Jingxin Monastery, scared and speechless for a while.
Qin Wanru suppressed the coldness in her heart, and slowly said, “He is Duke Xing’s nephew.” The bloodshot in her eyes caused by the grumpiness slowly disappeared.
“Then… who is that woman? Isn’t this a brothel?” Yujie had few contacts with the world when she was in Jingxin Monastery. She had heard of brothels, but she had never seen one. She thought that woman was a prostitute when she saw her behavior just now, so she asked in doubt.
But she did not think so after thinking about it more. At least the words “Ning’s Mansion” on the door were different from what the pilgrims used to say. However, maybe the customs in the capital were different from those in Jiangzhou.
“It’s not a brothel, it’s Ning’s Mansion!” Qin Wanru showed a slight smile on her face and she had figured out the whole matter. “Let’s go back!”
Now that she had seen what she wanted, what would happen next could not be decided by them!
Yujie started the carriage off in a daze, then looked at Qin Wanru, wishing to speak but stopped on second thought!
Qin Wanru, knowing that Yujie was full of doubts, leaned over in the carriage and said slowly with cold eyes, “The former First Miss Ning should have a good relationship with Di Yan, and the later Miss Ning should have a special relationship with Duke Xing’s nephew!”
Unexpectedly, neither of the two sisters of Ning’s Mansion were well-behaved girls. They were not only contemptible but also vicious. For themselves, they would sacrifice everything of others.
Therefore, the reason why Ning Caixian finally married into Duke Yong’s Mansion was Qin Wanru, which also was the reason why Madam Di and Qin Yuru compromised!
Qin Wanru knew Madam Di well. Since Ning Caixian was sure to marry into Duke Yong’s Mansion, she must at least seize some interests for herself. And Qin Wanru was the only reason why Qin Yuru treated Ning Caixian kindly. And it was also a good thing for Madam Di that Ning Xueqing forced the people of Duke Xing’s Mansion to accept her and forced Wang Shengxue to marry her on such an occasion.
Otherwise, how could there be such a wonderful time!
If Qin Wanru had seen Ning Caixian in the last life, she would have figured out the whole matter. But she had never seen Ning Caixian. Of course, she also did not know her name. She only knew Di Yan’s cousin, Madam Ning, but she did not expect that Madam Ning and Ning Xueqing were sisters!
Every dog has its day and retribution will come. Unexpectedly, an unintentional act of Qin Wanru let herself find out the truth that she had not found in her last life.
If she had not led that servant girl to the mansion, things would have gone the way they had gone in the last life. In the last life, Ning Caixian, who had fought Qin Yuru with wits and courage and also occupied the upper hand, finally married into Duke Yong’s Mansion. In the end, for the sake of her own good life, she helped Madam Di and Qin Yuru deal with Qin Wanru.
For this reason, Qin Yuru also promised that if she gave birth to a son, she would be promoted to be the co-wife.
She had now figured out what she could not figure out since her rebirth.
For the sake of their own interests, the sisters of Ning’s Mansion pushed Qin Wanru into a deeper abyss. She even had sighed with emotion for Ning Xueqing. It turned out that her passion of love and determination was her camouflage. Under such a camouflage, it was so dirty!
Yujie did not know who Ning Xueqing was, nor did she know who Duke Xing’s nephew was, so her focus was on Ning Caixian. After listening to Qin Wanru, she thought about it for a second then asked in surprise, “Since First Miss Qin likes the Heir of Duke Yong, why does she deal with you? Shouldn’t she deal with First Miss?”
“She must have been directed by Madam Di!” Qin Wanru’s expression turned cold and her smile was like a sharp knife.
“Madame Di’s guidance?” Yujie blinked in doubt.
“After Nanny Zhou came back that day, nothing has happened, has it? Obviously, she had gone to Duke Yong’s mansion several times later and had already found Madam Di’s delicate cousin, who had a special relationship with Di Yan, but nothing has happened. It wasn’t the usual style of Madam Di!”
Qin Wanru spoke slowly. It seemed that she was explaining it to Yujie, and it also seemed that she was whispering.
Yujie was not stupid. After hearing Qin Wanru’s words, she suddenly widened her eyes, and her voice rose unconsciously. “Nanny Zhou must have made her think that you are the key for her to marry the Heir of Duke Yong, so she plans to frame you, right? She looks so delicate, almost like she will be blown over by the wind. I did not expect her to be so vicious and selfish!”
Qin Wanru kept silent. The key was not hard to be figured out.
Since Madam Di could use Ning Caixian in the last life, she also could in this life.
Nanny Zhou’s parents were the servants of Duke Yong’s Mansion, so she was very familiar with Duke Yong’s Mansion. Even though the people of Madam of Duke Yong would not say it, the people of Madam Dowager of Duke Yong would certainly expose Ning Caixian. Since she and Di Yan grew up together, her existence was unable to be hidden in Duke Yong’s Mansion.
In the past, Qin Yuru did seek out Ning Caixian because she did not expect that Di Yan would betray her, so she did not ask Di Yan.
So, this was a series of plans, and each of them was vicious!
Though things were different in the past life and this life, their real intentions were vicious in both lives!
Qin Wanru showed a vicious smile on her face. This life was different from the last one. It was her who had survived bloody hell and was reborn…
