There were four carriages lined up in front of the gate to King Rui's mansion. There were two gifts that he needed to return to the gate, one for the two girls and one for the luxurious car in front. Needless to say, it was for Ling Yexuan and Qin Nuo to ride on.
Qin Nuo looked at Ling Yexuan who was standing beside him. Seeing that he was expressionless and indifferent, he could not help but curse in his heart. She said she didn't need him to go. He insisted on going, yet he put on such a reluctant face. It was unknown who he was showing it to.
Not to mention that the personal attendant was only a little girl who came over, not even a wet nurse. If the dowry was not too generous, it would inevitably make people suspicious and cause others to discuss about it.
Qin Nuo looked back, and a look of loss flashed past her eyes.
"Put down the curtain!" Ling Yexuan coldly said again.
Qin Nuo's mouth twitched, as though she did not hear Ling Yexuan's words, she turned and continued to look outside. Even though there wasn't much to see outside, it was still better than this fellow's poker face! Qin Nuo finally understood what was called being born from the heart. This heart did not only refer to that person's own heart, it also referred to the heart of a spectator.
In any case, if a person was unsightly to the eye, then no matter how beautiful or monstrous he was, he was still unpleasing to the eye! It was just like how she only wished to see the outside world, and did not wish to see a beautiful man.
In fact, letting go of the curtain was a small matter that couldn't be any smaller. Ling Yexuan originally didn't care too much about it, but Qin Nuo's indifferent look deeply provoked him. Involuntarily, he moved closer to her, stretched out his arm, and, through her body, suddenly lowered the curtain.
Qin Nuo turned her head, raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Ling Yexuan with a smile that was not a smile, as she spoke unhurriedly.
"Prince, you are really childish!"
Ling Yexuan suddenly felt all the blood in his body rushing to his head, his face instantly heating up. In his entire life, no one had ever talked to him in a tone that seemed very amiable, but was actually very disdainful. Furthermore, they even called him — childish!
"Is the wangfei complaining about this king leaving you alone these past two days?" Then, tonight, This King will grow up for you to see! "
"What the f * * k do you think you are!" Qin Nuo did not even think about it, and punched out.
Caught off guard, Ling Yexuan couldn't help but groan.
When the woman heard this, she either blushed, or pretended to be shy, or lowered her head in silence, pretending to be ignorant. Why did this woman's instinctive reaction was to hit him, to hit him so viciously and so unexpectedly? This is... Murder of her husband?
The Qin Residence wasn't too close to the Prince Rui's residence. The carriage creaked as it moved for nearly an hour before finally arriving.
The watch was also brought in from another space by Qin Nuo. The watch was a blue crystal, string of pearls with a silver chain, and the watch was an exquisite pure blue colored plate. The bracelet that went back to its original space was completely broken. She still wore a watch, so it was a bit more practical.
Although that bastard Qin Feng did dirty things, he could still be counted as a gentleman amongst villains. Although he was confused, the things that he carried around with him were all the same.
The members of the Qin Clan were already standing at the entrance waiting for them. Even though Ling Yexuan was a junior, he was still a duke.
Qin Nuo alighted from the horse carriage and gracefully followed beside Ling Yexuan. She received the greetings from Prime Minister Qin and the others without a change in expression, and then greeted his daughter. In any case, she wasn't the Qin family's biological daughter, and she had been hypnotizing herself for a long time in order to go to the Qing dynasty.
However, the few people at the entrance of the Qin Manor, caused a flash of gloom to flash across Ling Yexuan's eyes.
Qin Nuo naturally understood why there were only a few servants welcoming them outside the door, and why only the Prime Minister's wife and Qin Feng were there. Other than the Prime Minister's wife and her personal servant, the rest were all men. Qin Muxue was a lady amongst women, and there were not many male servants who had seen her in the house, even if they had, they would not dare to look at her in detail. However, the maids and wives at home all had sharp eyes. Even if there were the slightest differences, it was likely that their eyes and hearts of gossip would not be able to escape them.
After bringing Ling Yexuan and Qin Nuo inside, Ling Yexuan was accompanied by Prime Minister Qin and his son. Prime Minister Qin's brothers and his nephew were already waiting in the hall.
Qin Nuo, Bi Tao, Ming Liu and a few maids that followed behind them were invited to the backyard by the Prime Minister's wife. Although Ming Liu was curious why only one master and one servant welcomed the Empress, he tactfully did not reveal it. In any case, when the Empress married the Duke, she only brought a personal bodyguard. It was likely that the reputation of the Qin Clan was different from the others!
The Prime Minister's wife arranged for people to invite Ming Liu and the others to the side hall for tea. Inside the room, only she, Qin Nuo, her as well as their servant girl Dong Huai and Bi Tao were left.
Qin Nuo smiled at the Prime Minister's wife.
From Bi Tao, she knew that the Prime Minister's wife was surnamed Wang, and was the Qin Prime Minister who had filled the house. She was not Qin Feng and Qin Muxue's mother. However, she was still a virtuous person, at least she did not mistreat or deliberately kill her children, nor did she harm the aunts' children.
Therefore, other than Qin Feng and Qin Muxue, there were also his stepmother Mrs. Wang's two sons and one son each of their concubines. Perhaps it was because Qin Muxue was the only young miss of the house, but although she had read a lot of poetry since she was young, she was still rather cute and naive. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done such a great thing as fleeing the estate before the wedding.
Seeing Qin Nuo's smile, the Mrs. Wang wanted to pay her respects to him. Seeing that, Qin Nuo quickly supported Mrs. Wang. It was fine for her to accept the gifts in the outside world as a Empress, but there was no one else as well. She was not used to a person older than her kneeling and bowing to her!
"I thank Empress for saving my life. Otherwise, I would have to give up my life." The Mrs. Wang said, her voice choked with emotions.
Although Qin Muxue was not her biological daughter, she was the only girl in the palace. She chatted and laughed in front of her all day long to relieve her boredom, but now, she had suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Madam, there is no need to be so courteous." Qin Nuo smiled and sat down with Mrs. Wang. I only hope that Prime Minister Qin and Young Master Qin can find the Young Miss as soon as possible so that I can leave the Duke Palaces as soon as possible and not become this Princess Rui in name. "
Although Qin Nuo's words were hidden, Mrs. Wang was clever, she immediately heard the meaning behind them.
"Empress's meaning is …"
"To have become the Miss of the Qin Residence for no reason, if I were to be sent to the Royal Residence, wouldn't I be at a great disadvantage if I didn't know how to protect myself?" Qin Nuo smiled. When Miss Qin returns, she will be a true Princess Rui. "
"Since it's like this, I have to thank the Empress, and make it difficult for the Empress." The Mrs. Wang said as she stood up and submitted. I will definitely urge Feng'er to find Mu Xue as soon as possible. However, it is, after all, something that cannot be revealed. Only those close to you can search for it. I'm afraid … "
The Mrs. Wang's voice became lower and lower.
Qin Nuo frowned slightly. Originally, she had held a glimmer of hope for that fellow Qin Feng. However, when she saw the few people who were welcoming her back to the sect outside the door, she knew that the situation wasn't good. The Qin Manor had never dared to go out of their way to search for Qin Muxue. They would have to wait for several years before they could find Qin Muxue!
If Qin Muxue did not return after a month, she would enter the palace with the demon. The women in the palace were all shrewd people, and they couldn't be compared to the Prime Minister's manor.
"I've done my best!" Qin Nuo laughed. She did not want to scare a weak girl in the inner chamber. It seemed that even if she did not settle the score with Qin Feng, she would have to talk to him. "Moreover, not taking revenge is not her style." Madam, can I meet with Young Master Qin? "
As Qin Nuo said that, she couldn't help but clench her teeth.
"Alright!" Mrs. Wang agreed without even thinking. After all, she was in the inner chamber and couldn't help. She still had to rely on the people outside.
Not long after Dong Hua left, Qin Feng arrived. He first went to see Mrs. Wang, and before waiting for Qin Nuo to speak, he spoke to him.
"Mother, your son has something he needs to tell Empress. Please bring the little girl back to her room to rest." Qin Feng said softly, slightly dissatisfied with his lack of confidence.
Mrs. Wang knew that Qin Feng was the one who led the group that day, and even this Empress in front of him had been found and brought back by Qin Feng. The tone with which he heard Empress mention Qin Feng earlier, was not at all warm to her. It would be best if the misunderstanding between the two of them could be resolved right in the face. Otherwise, if Empress left the Duke Palaces in one go, the ones who would suffer would still be the Qin family.
"Empress, I shall take my leave first." Mrs. Wang stood up and smiled apologetically at Qin Nuo.
Qin Nuo also stood up.
"Madam, please!"
Seeing Mrs. Wang walking out, Qin Nuo immediately spoke to Peaches.
"You go out too!"
"Yes sir!" The line of them retreated towards the door, looking at Qin Feng worriedly. The Empress is someone who isn't afraid of even the Prince Rui or the ghosts. Today, the young master is going to suffer!
