Nanny Zhou went to ask Zhou Pan'er again, and got the same answer.

?

This made Madam Zhou very angry.

?

"Miss, this matter concerns the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion. You can't fulfill the wishes of those who are waiting to see the Marquis' Mansion laugh at you!"

?

But Zhou Paner was waiting for this moment on purpose. She wanted to make it difficult for Xie Xiangyu to gain a foothold in the capital!

?

Even if her father and grandmother knew about it, Zhou Paner thought that she would be fine after being punished, but for Xie Xiangyu, it would be a devastating blow.

?

Didn't she want to climb the ladder and become a superior person? Then Zhou Pan'er would not let her become a superior person!

?

So no matter how Nanny Zhou tried to persuade her, Zhou Pan'er just refused to listen, which made Nanny Zhou so angry that her heart ached!

?

Madam Zhou felt that Zhou Pan'er was not aware of the overall situation. Xie Xiangyu's marriage was a foregone conclusion. She didn't make a fuss before, but she is making a fuss now. If the Marquis finds out, she will definitely be punished!

?

Before Nanny Zhou finished speaking, Zhou Paner heard the voice of the nanny, "Since the eldest lady doesn't want to show up, then we won't force her!"

?

Zhou Pan'er was stunned when she heard this. She thought that the nanny would blame her after she found out.

?

But she didn't expect that the governess would stand on her side?

?

But before Zhou Pan'er could show any joy on her face, the words that followed from the governess were like a shower of cold water poured over her head.

?

"It seems that my teaching is not successful. From today on, you will be confined. When you have figured it out, I will teach you again!"

?

Hearing this, the governess raised her hand, and several maids immediately guarded the door, and Nanny Zhou was also asked to leave!

?

Looking at the closed door, Zhou Paner stamped her feet in anger, "I am the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, who dares to put me in solitary confinement?"

?

But the governess was not afraid of her. She closed the door directly and even asked two of her trusted confidants to guard the door.

?

Upon seeing this, Nanny Zhou was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word and left in a hurry.

?

When the old lady learned that Zhou Pan'er was put in solitary confinement, she did not hide it from anyone and told it directly.

?

The wife of Pingjin Marquis was very unhappy about this. "Why didn't you put her in solitary confinement earlier or later? Why did you have to put her in solitary confinement when we asked the young lady to show up?"

?

"The wife of Marquis Pingjin seems to be particularly concerned about my daughter? How about asking Madam to move over and accompany my daughter?"

?

Marquis Pingxi came over at some point and just happened to hear what the wife of Marquis Pingjin said. He retorted rudely.

?

If it were someone else, Lady Pingjin Marquis might have dared to refute, but the man in front of her was the Marquis Pingxi, who had killed countless enemies and had made great military achievements. Even if she was full of dissatisfaction, she could only endure it in front of this Marquis Pingxi, to whom even His Majesty had to give way.

?

Pingxi Hou clasped his fists towards the ladies and said, "Thank you all for coming to watch the ceremony! My daughter was naughty and was put in solitary confinement a few days ago. The old lady didn't know about this, so she didn't allow my daughter to come out to meet guests. I hope you can forgive me."

?

With this explanation, which of the ladies present would dare to ask to see Zhou Paner?

?

Everyone laughed and agreed, "Marquis Pingxi is too polite."

?

"Actually, we are here to see the bride today. As for the young lady, we can see her anytime. There is no need to rush!"

?

In response, Pingxi Hou successfully resolved this crisis.

?

Before he left, he nodded slightly to Xie Liuzheng in the backyard corridor, and then went to the front yard to entertain the guest.

?

You have to know that today even several of His Majesty's princes came to the Marquis of Pingxi's Mansion in person, which can be said to have given him great face!

?

If Marquis Pingxi had not received the news from Chunyue, he would never have rashly come to the backyard at this moment. You know, the guests received in the backyard are all female relatives, and his rash appearance would disturb the female guests!

?

But Marquis Pingxi didn't care about much. He secretly hated Zhou Pan'er for being spoiled by him and for daring to throw a temper in such a situation. So he simply asked the nanny to come forward and put Zhou Pan'er in solitary confinement!

?

Xie Liuzheng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and was about to look for her mother, but she saw a figure from behind.

?

"How did he get into the backyard?"

?

"Did the Marquis invite him? Impossible. He hasn't taken the imperial examination yet, nor is he the current number one scholar. The Marquis doesn't even know his name, so how could he invite him to the ceremony? And he, a male guest, appeared in the backyard. This is very unusual!"

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng was worried about what Qin Shou would do to Xie Xiangyu. She had to be wary of this guy because Qin Shou's shamelessness had no limit.

?

But she would feel uneasy if she didn't send someone to keep an eye on it.

?

So she asked Chunyue to pass a message to Fang Cheng, asking Fang Cheng to arrange a servant to keep a close eye on Qin Shou!

?

When Fang Cheng heard that Qin Shou had sneaked into the Marquis' Mansion, his expression tensed up, and he immediately found a servant to secretly follow Qin Shou.

?

Qin Shou sneaked into the mansion from the backyard. The guards at the mansion were much more lax today, and there were fresh fruits and vegetables being delivered from the backyard from time to time, so he took the opportunity to follow the delivery truck in.

?

At first, he just wanted to find Xie Liuzheng to find out why she suddenly became tired of him, but when Qin Shou entered the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion, he heard the servants discussing the fact that the eldest lady was put in solitary confinement.

?

Qin Shou's eyes lit up involuntarily. Although he thought Zhou Paner's behavior was despicable, the daughter of a rich mansion was secretly sticking to him.

?

But he knew this was his chance to show his loyalty.

?

If he could make the young lady completely dependent on him, he wouldn't have to worry about Zhou Pan'er no longer providing him with banknotes.

?

So Qin Shou secretly changed into a servant's clothes and headed towards the backyard.

?

But he never thought that he would be discovered by Xie Liuzheng.

?

Qin Shou tiptoed for a long time before he found Zhou Paner's yard. He saw two old women guarding the door from afar.

?

If he wants to go in, he must not be discovered, otherwise his life will be in danger and Zhou Pan'er's reputation will be damaged. Then Pingxi Hou will definitely not let him go.

?

But Qin Shou did not give up. He then went around to the back door and found a dog hole that was one person wide. So he decisively crawled in through the dog hole.

?

Although he got stuck for a while, Qin Shou still managed to sneak into the yard smoothly. Then he found the rear window and knocked on it gently a few times.

?

Zhou Pan'er was angry at the moment, but no matter how she shouted, the people outside the door remained unmoved.

?

Her original intention was to ruin the marriage and prevent Xie Xiangyu from getting married, but she didn't expect the governess to interfere.

?

"Let me out! I'm the eldest daughter of the Marquisate!"

?

Zhou Pan'er shouted again, and seeing that she didn't respond, Qin Shou couldn't help but forcefully opened the window frame.

?

Then he suddenly turned over and successfully entered Zhou Paner's boudoir.

?

Zhou Pan'er was startled by the sudden noise behind her. She turned around quickly and asked, "Who..."

?

When she saw that it was Qin Shou, Zhou Paner could not help but freeze in place, "Qin Shou, why are you here?"
