Madam Liu stood at one side. Upon hearing this, she raised her lips to a complicated smile. In that smile, she affirmed Qin Suling's vision, but also had a hint of contempt for the impermanence of the world: "Madam, the water in this world is unfathomable. How could your vision be deceived by appearances?"
After saying that, the two of them smiled at each other. That smile contained a tacit understanding and trust that could be understood without words, like a ray of warm sunshine in winter, warm and firm.
Talking about the official seal, Qin Suling's heart couldn't help but ripple. The strangeness and heaviness made her bite her lower lip lightly, and her expression looked a little uneasy.
Seeing this, Madam Liu took a step forward and gently held her hand. The warmth that came through her palm seemed to dispel all the haze: "Madam, please rest assured. The general's heart is as clear as a mirror. In time, he will be in harmony with you and share the weight of power."
Qin Suling nodded, trust gleaming in his eyes, knowing that this matter required patience before it could come to fruition.
In the meeting hall, the ancient wooden furniture exudes a faint scent of agarwood, and time seems to have stopped here.
Qin Suling sat on the right side with a dignified posture, and her every move showed the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.
Her eyes were gentle and deep, like a clear spring in spring. She quietly examined every detail of the home, with a faint smile on her lips, as if the hustle and bustle of the outside world had nothing to do with her.
Her silence does not mean silence. Her bright eyes can inadvertently see the details of household affairs, showing her extraordinary wisdom and sharpness.
After a moment, Qin Suling covered her red lips with her sleeve and whispered a few words to the maid beside her. There was a barely perceptible alertness in her eyes, which was the light of wisdom that enabled her to survive in the deep courtyard.
Then she stood up gracefully, with light steps, like a deer running through the woods, leaving the room filled with fragrance and contemplation.
And rumors, like ghosts in the dark night, spread silently in the mansion.
The statement that "the new mistress is weak and can be bullied" is like a cold winter wind, biting and cold, making people feel cold.
In the residence of the second wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, the atmosphere was so heavy that it was suffocating.
She sat high up, her tone cold as ice, her eyes revealing a deep insight into the world: "She is so humble, but she is just playing hard to get, using the name of virtue to plan for the long term. This trick is too old-fashioned."
After saying this, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and that smile contained disdain and contempt for Qin Suling.
Although the Second Madam was smiling and gentle, there was a cold light flashing in the depths of her eyes. She softly agreed, "Yes, this deep mansion is not a place where one can survive with just a little cleverness. I'm afraid her beautiful dream will be shattered under this prosperity."
At this moment, Qing Zhu rushed in in a panic, his face as pale as paper, obviously having suffered great injustice.
Seeing this, Qin Suling hurried forward and gently asked the reason.
Qing Zhu took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and recounted the rumors one by one.
She clenched her fists, her eyes gleaming with an unyielding light: "Madam, these rumors are already mild, the more excessive ones are really hard for me to talk about."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn, as if even the air had frozen.
After hearing this, Qin Suling frowned, and an indescribable anger and determination surged in her heart. She knew that in this game of power, she had to be stronger to protect everything she wanted.
Seeing this, Madam Liu's heart tightened. She hurried forward with a little panic in her steps, but she used her unique gentle voice to comfort her softly, "Madam is new to the household, and there are many complicated matters. It is inevitable that you will have to work hard. Your hard work these days is known to everyone in the mansion, and it is understandable."
Qin Suling gently stroked the teacup in her hand. The delicate porcelain surface seemed to soothe the waves in her heart. Her tone was calm and firm, like a clear mountain stream, and she left no room for doubt: "In a large family, there are indeed tricky servants. This is the norm in the world. But since I, Qin Suling, have taken on this important task, I swear to clean up the mess and not allow them to act recklessly and break the rules of the mansion."
Hearing this, Qing Zhu's worry deepened, his brows furrowed, and he said anxiously: "Madam, you are kind and lenient to the servants, which is really a great virtue. However, if this continues, I am afraid it will be difficult to establish your prestige, and you will inevitably be unable to control everyone in the future!"
Before he finished speaking, Qing Dai walked into the room, her face solemn, her steps light but with a bit of urgency, as if a heavy weight was weighing on her heart, as if there was something important to report. Qing Zhu quickly stepped aside to make way, his eyes flickering, secretly guessing why Qing Dai came here.
Qin Suling's eyes were as sharp and deep as torches, as if they had seen through all the fog. She said calmly, "Qingdai, I already know what you are thinking. There is no need to say more. I know my limits and will be able to handle it properly."
Upon hearing this, Qingdai looked up at her mistress, only to see that her face was calm without the slightest sign of anger. She felt a little relieved and secretly admired the mistress's calmness.
Qing Zhu could not hold back, and stepped forward, speaking earnestly: "Madam, you always say that kindness and authority are the way to manage a family. But if you only show kindness without establishing authority, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the people, and I'm afraid someone will take the opportunity to cause chaos and ruin the peace in the mansion."
Nanny Liu nodded in agreement. Although she did not like the disputes in the mansion, she was well aware of the importance of rules and dignity in maintaining order in the mansion.
Qin Suling slowly put down the teacup after hearing this. A trace of determination flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She said in a deep voice, "How could I not know what you are worried about? However, the way to manage a family is like managing water. It needs to be done step by step to achieve success. At this stage, I will mainly be lenient and kind, intending to influence people's hearts. When the time is right, I will have my own thunderous means to let them experience the true rules and majesty."
After she finished speaking, she stood up, her posture straight, like a pine tree standing proudly in the wind and snow. Her tenacity and indomitable spirit deeply moved everyone present.
Outside the window, the servants of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion are of burly build, and their steps reveal the boldness and unruliness of the mountains. Their presence seems to add a bit of life and vitality to this mansion.
The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds, dappling onto the bluestone road, illuminating their busy and orderly figures. Every brick and tile seems to be telling the vicissitudes and changes of the years.
Qin Suling looked at this scene, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She retorted softly: "Everyone says that compassion can easily lead to disasters, and convenience can easily lead to vulgarity. But I, Qin Suling, think that majesty is not something that can be flaunted outwardly, but should be like a drizzle that moistens things, and thunder can be heard in silence, to show its depth and heaviness." Her eyes were deep and bright, as if she could see through the most subtle parts of people's hearts. Her calmness and wisdom made people involuntarily feel awe.
At this moment, Jin Tuan's clear and pleasant voice came from outside the door, like the most beautiful bird song in the morning: "Madam, Zhang from the needlework room wants to see you for something urgent, and you need to make the decision yourself."
Qin Suling heard this, a trace of doubt flashed across her brows. Why did the daily trivialities in the needlework room come to this? But she quickly regained her composure, and her voice was soft but with unquestionable authority: "Let her wait in the corridor, I will be there soon."
Upon hearing this, Qingdai moved her body like a swallow skimming over water, and silently lifted a corner of the curtain. Her movements were so delicate that she was afraid of disturbing the tranquility in the room.
She knew very well that the lady's move was not only a trust in her, but also a recognition of her abilities.
Qingdai secretly swore in her heart that she would live up to the trust of her master, be loyal, protect her until death, and move towards an unknown future together.
