Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

After returning from Meiyuan that day, Qin Fangsui caught wind and cold and fell ill. As soon as she recovered from her illness, she came to Duke Dingguo's mansion anxiously.

"Sui'er, why are you so haggard?" The old lady was shocked when she saw her, and hurriedly pulled her to her side, "Come here and sit down."

Qin Fangsui looked frail, "Don't worry, old lady, I've just been sick for a few days, and I haven't come to see you for fear of spreading my illness to you."

"Why did you suddenly become ill when you were fine?" The old lady couldn't help but frown.

"Maybe there's some wind blowing outside..."

"It's freezing outside, why are you so careless? Have you asked the doctor to take a look?"

Qin Fangsui nodded, "The doctor came and prescribed some medicine, and I'm much better now."

"That's good," the old lady patted the back of her hand, "You have to take good care of yourself. If the servants in the house are not helpful, I will have someone choose some good ones for you."

"Thank you, madam, for your concern. It's just me and Yu'er at home, so we don't need so many people."

The maid Xianglan on the side said with red eyes: "There is nothing that can't be used. The girl is afraid that there are too many people and there will be more places to spend money. The second old man said that business will not be good this year, and the harvest in the village will not be good. By the end of the year I gave the girl two hundred taels of silver. She has to take care of the house inside and out. How many days can this little money last..."

"Xianglan, shut up!" Qin Fangsui coughed in excitement.

"You have just recovered from your illness, don't be impatient-" The old lady reached over and patted her back gently.

Qin Fangsui stopped coughing and raised her head with a hint of moisture in the corners of her eyes, which made the old lady even more distressed.

"Your life is so difficult, why didn't you tell me?

If you want to resist alone, you don't regard me as a relative. "

"No, Sui'er didn't," Qin Fangsui explained quickly, "Sui'er doesn't want to upset you with these trivial matters, and don't listen to Xianglan's nonsense. Mother left us money, which is enough for Yu'er and I to live."

Xianglan murmured in a low voice: "The money Madam left behind will eventually be used up..."

"You still say!" Qin Fangsui looked over angrily, "If you dare to talk too much, just go and stand outside!"

The old lady comforted her: "Okay, don't get angry with her. She is doing it for your own good. If she hadn't said it today, I wouldn't have known about these things. Your second grandfather is obviously bullying you two siblings. I'm going to go Argue with him and support you——"

"Don't go," Qin Fangsui quickly dissuaded him. "As the saying goes, it's hard for upright officials to deal with household affairs. If you go to confront them, I'm afraid you'll only get angry in the end. My second grandfather has been in charge for so many years, and he will definitely do what he does openly. It has to be watertight, even if you argue with them, they will still be confident."

The old lady had lived a smooth life. She had never seen anyone like her second grandfather and his family acting like that. They went there rashly and the matter was not resolved. If she got angry again, how would she explain it to the people in the Dingguo Palace?

"Is it possible to let them continue to bully me?" The old lady frowned deeper.

"No, those family properties belong to us after all. When Yu'er inherits the title, they will naturally want to return the things."

The old lady didn't think deeply. After listening to Qin Fangsui's comforting words, she nodded, and then told Qi's mother, "Go and get the cash from me."

Mother Qi responded and immediately went to the inner room and took out a small box.

The old lady put the box

When it came to Qin Fangsui's hand, "You take the money and use it first."

Qin Fangsui quickly refused, "Absolutely no, how can I ask for your money——"

"What's wrong with this? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, just think of it as the lucky money I give to you two siblings."

"But……"

"Stop it, if you don't accept it, I won't have peace of mind this year. You are a filial child, be obedient and accept it." The old lady pushed her hand back.

Qin Fangsui's nose felt sour, "Old madam, you are so kind to me, but I did something wrong..."

"What's wrong?" the old lady wondered.

"A few days ago in Meiyuan, I met Miss Dong, who was Yunling in my house, and I talked to her a few words. While talking, I accidentally told her what she had promised you, and I was Brother Yan, who arrived later, heard..."

Qin Fangsui's face was filled with guilt, "Old madam, have I caused you any trouble?"

"What do I mean? It's just a trivial matter. You don't have to take it to heart." The old lady said with a smile.

"Do you know?" Qin Fangsui was surprised on her face, but in fact she had already guessed in her heart that Brother Yan would definitely come to see the old lady after learning the truth.

The old lady nodded, "Qi Yan told me."

Seeing the old lady's expression as usual when mentioning this matter, Qin Fangsui wanted to know what they said and asked tentatively: "Brother Yan didn't lose his temper with you, did he? He cares so much about Miss Dong. I'm really afraid that he will have a problem with you. .”

"The trouble has already happened," the old lady sighed. "When I let the girl out of the house without telling him, I expected this day. Things are unpredictable, and I didn't expect him to be so stubborn, and the girl returned to the capital. In the same place, that girl

His father is also Qi Yan’s best friend, so it seems impossible to ask them not to interact. "

The old lady's words made Qin Fangsui feel chilled, "You mean you no longer care whether they meet or not?"

"I can't control it anymore," the old lady couldn't bear to face her, "But don't worry, Sui'er, I still care about you in my heart."

Qin Fangsui forced a smile, "Actually, I have understood Brother Yan's feelings for Miss Dong during these days. Now that she is back, Brother Yan will definitely not let her go again, so I won't ask for trouble."

Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately took her hand and said, "Sui'er, why are you backing out? Minghui and I both like you, so you can't back out on your own."

If they can't get Brother Yan to marry her, what's the use of their love? Now the old lady doesn't even care about Dong Jiafu's previous promise, and Brother Yan's attitude towards her is getting colder and colder. If she continues to pester, I'm afraid it will wear away the little guilt Brother Yan has towards her.

If you can't have both, for the current plan, you can only seize one end first.

Qin Fangsui whispered softly: "Sui'er appreciates the old lady's love, but you can't force feelings. Brother Yan and I will just let nature take its course."

"Good boy, I've really wronged you." The old lady was helpless about this matter.

After sitting with the old lady for a while, Qin Fangsui took Xianglan out of Shouanyuan.

Xianglan held the box and whispered: "Girl, I just said those words in a moment of impatience. You won't blame me, will you?"

"It doesn't matter, you reminded me." Qin Fangsui said while walking.

Xianglan didn't understand, "What does the girl mean by this?"

Qin Fangsui did not answer but ordered:

"You go wait for me in the car outside first."

"Ah? Where are you going, girl?"

"I'm going to find Brother Yan." Qin Fangsui said, turning around and walking in the direction of Chenglin Pavilion.
