Chapter 19 From now on, she will be stepped on by me

The fat steward was timid, but still insisted: “Madam, you don’t know, the Sixth Madam has been the housekeeper for many years, and the old lady said that the Sixth Madam is a good housekeeper. You said that the Sixth Madam is not a good housekeeper, and we servants can’t say much. Right and wrong are in the hearts of the people. Today’s incident also has its reasons, please be magnanimous, Madam.”

Cui Ming was so angry that she laughed.

“What you said is interesting. You are incompetent and you know you can’t blame the Sixth Madam. That means you don’t take Madam Hou seriously and act on your own. You are pretending to obey but actually disobeying her.”

The fat steward stammered, “We are all servants. How dare we ignore the Marquis’ wife? Do you think your life is too long?”

He turned around and wanted to push the driver out and punish him so that Qin Yuan would feel better.

The driver whispered, “The maidservant beside her said that she went to the old lady’s courtyard to ask for Rong Mama, but it has been so long and there is no news. It can be seen that the old lady has never taken her seriously. Doesn’t the Marquis also…”

Maybe the marquis’s wife didn’t even send the maid to scare them.

The fat steward knew that he was the uncle of the first-class maidservant beside the Sixth Madam, and it was not easy to offend him. After hesitating for a moment, he said sincerely: “Madam, if you delay any longer, you will be really late to return home. How about letting us arrange a carriage for you to return home first? I will definitely not make any mistakes this time.”

Qin Yuan didn’t respond.

Cui Ming said, “Hong Ye has gone to invite Rong Mama to come, so please be patient.”

The fat steward smiled and said, “I don’t know how long it will take to go back and forth. The carriages in the Marquis’ Mansion are all used by special people. If it is delayed any longer, and other masters use the carriages to go out, I am afraid that I will not be able to arrange a carriage for the Marquis’ wife to return home. At that time, the Marquis’ wife will have to wait for the Seventh Miss to come back, or wait for the Marquis to come together.”

With threats and innuendos, Cui Ming could not help but get angry and said, “Who gave you the support to say such things? Even if this matter is brought to the attention of the emperor, there will still be a right and wrong.”

Qin Yuan sat upright, covering her face with a round fan, and looked at them with interest, as if she was watching a play.

The fat steward said angrily, “We have racked our brains to find a solution for the Marquis’ wife, but you, a little girl, took advantage of your power and said such a thing. Let me be frank. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again. If the Marquis’ wife comes home late, don’t blame us for not doing our job well or for not keeping the Marquis’s housekeeping strict.”

The fat steward turned around and wanted to leave, but Hongye had already turned around with Rong Mama and others.

After Rong Mama and Qin Yuan exchanged greetings, they asked, “Manager Wang, what’s wrong with you?”

Manager Wang complained.

Rong Mama interrupted after listening to a few words: “Why did the Marquis’s wife arrange a car for her return home, but let Miss Seven use it? Why didn’t Miss Seven use her own carriage?”

The driver murmured, “Miss Seven said she wanted to go out for fun, and she was afraid the car wasn’t spacious enough, so she used Madam’s car.”

Cui Ming interrupted, “Didn’t you just say that Miss Seven felt that if the Marquis didn’t accompany his wife back home, the wife wouldn’t need a car anyway?”

The driver immediately shook his head: “I never said that.”

Aunt Rong asked again, “Is it possible that no other cars can be sent?”

Cui Ming said, “Just now the driver said that he didn’t know what to do. The rules in the mansion are very strict. The masters’ cars are all for special use. The Marquis’ wife can’t afford to use the Sixth Madam and the Old Madam’s cars. Steward Wang said that he would try his best to arrange a car for the lady. If the Marquis’ wife doesn’t get a car early, and the other masters are out, the Marquis’ wife will have to wait for the Seventh Miss to come back, or wait for the Marquis to come back together before she can use a car.”

After hearing this, Rong Mama was so angry that her eyes were emitting sparks. She angrily asked, “Is this how you treat Madam Hou?”

Manager Wang and others were ashamed and dared not vent their anger.

Qin Yuan then stood up and stepped forward, smiling and saying, “Don’t be angry, Madam. It’s my fault for not taking care of the household. I’ve been given the title of Marquis’s wife for nothing, so it’s no wonder they’re perfunctory. It’s too late to go back home now, so please help me make some arrangements. I don’t dare to trouble the steward and the coachman any more. Cui Ming has been following me just now, so she can stay. If you have any questions, just ask her.”

Rong Mama hurriedly said, “The old lady was furious when she heard this. These conscienceless bastards who only eat and do not work, if they make the in-laws unhappy, peeling their skins would be the least of their trouble. Madam, go first. The Marquis has been delayed and will come later. These dogs, I will take care of them. Don’t spoil Madam’s mood.”

Qin Yuan responded with a smile. Someone had already arrived in the old lady’s car and invited her to get in. There were also several small carts with oilcloth covers, loaded with return gifts, and they hurried to the Qin Mansion.

Steward Wang knew he had hit a wall, and sweat poured down his face. His lips trembled as he said, “Please help me, Madam Rong.”

Cui Ming felt so happy when she saw him like that.

Rong Mama glared at him and said, “If you had known this would happen, you wouldn’t have done it in the first place. Who instigated you to treat the Marquis’ wife like this?
“It’s not that I didn’t save you. When the old lady learned about this, she was furious and wanted to peel off your skin. If the Marquis hadn’t been stuck, he would have come a long time ago.

“Think about how to explain to the Marquis later. Perhaps you can suffer less physical pain.” Steward Wang collapsed to the ground in despair and confusion.

Inside the carriage.

Qin Yuan asked: “Why did you take so long?”

Hongye said, “Miss, if it weren’t for the Marquis, I would have come here with Madam Rong a long time ago.”

“how?”

Hongye looked happy, “When I went there, the Marquis was being placed on a bench, and the old lady was spanking him with a stick.”

Qin Yuan inexplicably wanted to laugh, but he suppressed his laughter and asked, “Why did you hit him?”

“The old lady called him a fool and a bastard. I don’t know how he offended the old lady.”

Qin Yuan understood a little bit.

Hongye sighed again: “I never thought that the Marquis’s Mansion is not much better than the Qin Mansion. All crows are black.”

Qin Yuan said: “I think it is much better than the Qin Mansion. I am afraid it will be even better in the future.”

Hongye changed the subject, “The young lady returned home alone today, and delayed the time. I wonder how proud the second young lady must be.”

Qin Wan was indeed proud.

She was just waiting to be proud of this day.

Ever since Qin Yuan arranged the marriage in the Marquis’ Mansion, she has been superior to her in every way, but today, Qin Yuan is going to be humiliated.

In order to see Qin Yuan’s miserable life earlier, she went back to her parents’ home with Lin Ziqi early.

The women in the room sat around and gossiped, asking her how her life was like in the Lin family after her marriage, whether Lin Ziqi was good to her, and whether Lin’s mother was easy to get along with.

Qin Wan answered all the questions with a smile on her face and in a good mood.

She had worked hard for a lifetime in her previous life but still couldn’t get a loving couple. Now it’s finally her turn in this life, and she must show off.

During these days at the Lin family, although Lin’s mother was a little annoying, Lin Ziqi got along well with her and discussed everything with her.

The only bad thing was that the Lin family was too poor, and their food, clothing and other expenses depended on her dowry.

But this is only temporary. Once Lin Ziqi passes the imperial examination and is sent to work as an official in a remote area, his life will be better.

Now the Lin family is spending her money, and in the future Lin Ziqi will not only give her a prime minister’s wife, but will also be caring and considerate to her and put her first in everything.

Just like what happened to Qin Yuan in the previous life.
