Chapter 168 Strong love
Mrs. Du, who was sitting on the main seat next to the old marquis, silently rolled her eyes at the old marquis' attitude.
Drink tea! Drink tea!
If she drinks any more, she won’t be able to drink anymore!
While drinking, Jiang Qin glanced at Mrs. Du silently, sobbed twice, and wiped her tears with her sleeves.
This Jiang Qin really didn't come here just to sit around today.
She came to seek refuge in the Marquis' Mansion today.
Jiang Qin was a distant cousin of Mrs. Du, and she had to call her aunt. But in fact, Mrs. Du was too lazy to recall which branch of her family she belonged to. Jiang Qin's family was not rich, and in the early years, Jiang Qin's father often came to the Marquis's Mansion to pay respects to Mrs. Du and try to get close to her.
But he never asked Mrs. Du for money.
Seeing that he was not here to ask for money, Mrs. Du allowed him to come over with the children and sit with them.
Later, Jiang Qin grew up and Du found the problem.
Zhou Ziyue and his cousin seem to have a good relationship. He always follows her like a cousin.
Mr. Du is a very perceptive person.
That night, he sent someone to Peijing to find a farmer's family, and within a few days, Jiang Qin was married to the family.
Jiang Qin's father had not even met his uncle, but his daughter had already been sent there to spend the night.
Mrs. Du thought that such a lowly person wanted to seduce Zhou Ziyue right under her nose.
Don't even think about it.
Jiang Qin got married just like that. She came here because of the flood in Beijing. Her husband was tricked into charging at the front of the dam in order to earn a few more coins. He was washed away by the flood and his body was never found.
Jiang Qin's father also died of illness the year before last.
Jiang Qin came to the Marquis' Mansion because she had no one to rely on.
Others may not know what this woman means, but doesn’t Mrs. Du know?
So she insisted on leaving.
"Qin'er, it's not that your aunt is cruel, but you are not a girl anymore. You are married. It makes no sense for you to live in the mansion. Lanye." Madam Du ordered the maid beside her, "Give Miss Cousin a silver ingot and send her out."
"Aunt, I don't have a home anymore." Seeing that she was about to be driven away, Jiang Qin said pitifully, "Aunt, please take me in for a few days. I will leave after I have some time to relax."
Mrs. Du didn't even bother to look at her. She waved at Lan Ye, indicating that she should be kicked out.
Seeing that Mrs. Du was useless, Jiang Qin could only turn her attention to the old marquis. She knelt on the ground and said, "Uncle, please take me in for a few days. My husband just passed away. I am exhausted both physically and mentally. I really don't know where to go. If you don't take me in, I will die."
The old marquis felt very embarrassed when he saw her like this.
In fact, the mansion is spacious, so it’s no problem to add one more person to live here, and it’s even okay to add a maid to stay in the mansion.
But Jiang Qin at least called him uncle, so it was not appropriate to give him the status of a servant.
But he still said: "This child is indeed pitiful. Her home has been washed away. She has come all the way to the capital. It won't hurt if she stays a few days less."
Mrs. Du couldn't stand the old marquis's attempt to smooth things over.
What is a shorter stay?
How many days is too few? What if I stay here forever?
It's okay for her to stay.
But the problem is that she is not a peaceful person, and her relationship with Zhou Ziyue was unclear before.
Du thought this kind of thing was cheap and dirty, and she was too lazy to get into trouble.
"How do you live here? With what status?" Mrs. Du rolled her eyes.
"Just live here as your cousin." The old marquis got angry when she asked him the question, "Will others gossip about me?"
"you--"
"Mom." Zhou Ziyue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Qin'er was my childhood playmate after all. Now that she is in trouble, we can't just stand by and watch her die. Besides, she only said she would stay for a few days. When she finds a place to go, we can let her go."
"Our mansion is rich and powerful. We can't force a woman to death, right? It won't sound good if this gets out." Zhou Ziyue said.
Jiang Qin never thought that Zhou Ziyue would help her. She had not dared to look at Zhou Ziyue since she entered the room. Now, after hearing what he said, she slightly raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Ziyue deeply.
Then he quickly lowered his head.
Mrs. Du looked at Zhou Ziyue speechlessly.
She thought that her son really had a special liking for lowly women. He had married a concubine, Tang Yue'er, and now he was leaving behind a widow. Others called her "cousin" for her sake, but in fact she was not a lady at all, but a widow.
"Yes." Seeing that Jiang Qin was crying, the old marquis felt a little irritated. "Our mansion is so big, one more person is just one more mouth to feed. Besides, she doesn't have to live here for a long time, so give her a transition period."
Mrs. Du's face was as black as charcoal: "My Lord..."
"That's enough." The old marquis stood up and said, "It's getting late today. No matter what, we can't kick her out tonight. Let's make sure she stays here first, and we can think of other things later!"
"Lan Ye, please arrange for my cousin to stay here." Zhou Wucai waved his hand and stood up to leave.
When Jiang Qin heard that she could stay, she lowered her head and cried with joy: "Thank you, uncle!"
The old marquis left. Mrs. Du was in a very bad mood. She glared at Jiang Qin, then glanced at Tang Yue'er with annoyance, picked up her clothes and left.
Only Zhou Ziyue, Tang Yueer and Jiang Qin were left in the hall.
Seeing Zhou Ziyue was about to leave, Jiang Qin hurriedly bowed and said, "Qin'er, thank you, cousin."
Zhou Ziyue glanced at her, said nothing, and pulled Tang Yueer away.

White House.
As soon as Bai Yanli and Tang Wanru came back, Bai Ge and Shang, who had been waiting for a long time, came to greet them anxiously.
Shang ordered the housekeeper to close the door and asked hurriedly, "What happened? I heard that you met a killer on the street this afternoon? Are you two injured?"
After all, it was a real fight, and the two looked a little tired. Shang was afraid that they were really injured. Especially Tang Wanru was the most important.
"Ru'er?" Seeing that neither of them spoke, Shang simply came up and held Tang Wanru's hand.
"Mom, I'm fine." Tang Wanru comforted her, "The killer didn't kill me." That Suiqi had been guarding her, so even if there was something wrong, she would not be hurt.
Wouldn’t that mean killing Yan Li?
Shang became even more anxious and hurried forward to ask, "Li'er?"
"Mom, I'm fine too." Bai Yanli smiled and gave Shang a reassuring look. He then glanced at Tang Wanru and said to Shang, "Mom, I'll go back to my room and change my clothes first." Then he turned and left.
Tang Wanru also said, "Mom, I'm going to change my clothes too." Then she followed him.
Shang: ...
Is this really okay or is it just a lie?
In the bedroom.
Tang Wanru had just closed the door and turned around when Bai Yanli rushed over and pressed her against the door, and then a blanket of kisses fell on her...
