Qin Suling's gaze was sharp and deep, like the brightest stars in the night sky, gently sweeping across the weathered face of Nanny Wu, silently conveying a deep trust and eager expectation, as if silently telling thousands of words.
After receiving the order, Nanny Wu turned around and left quietly. Although her steps were light, each step seemed to be measuring every inch of land in the courtyard. Finally, her eyes fell gently on Qing Zhu. Although the girl was still young, she had already shown extraordinary skills and a meticulous mind beyond her age. She was undoubtedly the best candidate to carry out this mission in her mind.
"Madam, what about me?" Jinxiu's voice was filled with a subtle anxiety and desire. Her bright eyes flashed with a desire for unknown challenges, fearing that she would miss this rare opportunity because of a lack of composure. Qin Suling heard this and a gentle smile appeared on her lips. That smile encouraged Jinxiu and also contained her expectations for her future: "Come with me. If you are needed in the meeting room tomorrow, you can show your edge to the fullest without any scruples." When Jinxiu heard this, the haze in her heart was swept away, and she seemed to be surrounded by a warm force, and her spirit was lifted.
Just as the atmosphere in the room was getting better, a steady and powerful sound of footsteps came from outside the door, as steady as a mountain, instantly breaking the tranquility in the room. Qi Qiyuan returned home, his figure stretched out in the morning light, making him look even more majestic and extraordinary. Jinxiu stepped aside tactfully, leaving the couple a quiet space that belonged only to them.
Qin Suling exhaled lightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes. She secretly reminded herself that no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, what was coming would eventually come. She had never been afraid of the unspeakable misunderstandings and suspicions in the undercurrents of the inner house. In her opinion, these were just tests given to them by life, and she and Qi Qiyuan had already learned to go hand in hand in the storm and jointly resist the hardships of life.
However, when night fell and everything was quiet, Qi Qiyuan remained unusually silent about the matter. Although Qin Suling's heart was in turmoil, her appearance remained calm, as if everything was within her expectations. She knew very well that some things did not need words, and actions would speak for themselves.
The morning light reappeared, and the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds like a thread, gently sprinkled in every corner of the inner house. Qin Suling was ready to go, ready to welcome the new day. She lifted the curtain and saw Nanny Wu walked into the room with a trace of imperceptible worry between her brows. She whispered: "The general left quietly this morning." Qin Suling heard this and shook her head gently to show that it was okay: "It is reasonable that he did not mention this." Her eyes were intertwined with complex emotions, including confusion about Qi Qiyuan and persistence in her own beliefs.
"Have the Madam and the General reconciled?" Nanny Wu asked with concern, trying to find the answer from Qin Suling's expression. Qin Suling smiled calmly and shook her head gently, revealing a kind of indifference in her tone: "He has his own ideas in his heart, and there is no need for me to do anything." Her answer was concise and powerful, showing her calmness in the face of all challenges.
"Does the general have complete faith in you, or does he have doubts but does not express them?" Nanny Wu asked again, trying to find out what Qin Suling was really thinking. But Qin Suling just smiled in response and did not answer directly. She sighed and continued, "He is introverted and hard to understand. However, some things are more about actions than words." After that, she walked lightly to the dressing table, picked up a beautifully carved wooden comb with her fingertips, and her eyes revealed an indescribable tranquility and determination.
"Jinxiu, come and comb my hair into a bun that is both dignified and gentle." Qin Suling's voice was soft and clear. She sat in front of the mirror, her posture upright, like a pine tree that has experienced wind and frost but is still tough. She carefully described her face, and every movement revealed a kind of calmness and elegance, as if nothing in the world could shake her. At this moment, she was not only the owner of the inner house, but also the master of her own destiny.
Outside the window, the morning light gently brushes across the sky like a veil, gently penetrates the gaps between the mist and the window lattices, and casts mottled light and shadows, interweaving with the exquisitely crafted furnishings in the room to form a quiet and solemn picture. The antique wooden furniture exudes a faint warm luster, echoing the morning light from outside the window, and the air is filled with a faint sandalwood scent, which makes people feel peaceful.
Just when the tranquility was about to be broken, Jin Lan hurried in from the door. Her steps were hurried and heavy, and her brows were locked with unrelieved worry, as if she was carrying a heavy burden. Her eyes were sharp, and she glanced around from time to time, obviously hiding something very important in her heart.
"Madam, I have spared no effort to get to the bottom of the matter of the tailor shop." Her voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be uttered after careful consideration. Nanny Wu and Jinxiu, who were stroking the embroidery at the side, involuntarily stopped their work and turned around, their eyes full of concern and expectation.
Jin Lan took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and continued, "Of the nine sets of gorgeous dresses originally ordered, six should have been delivered on time, but they never arrived until yesterday. I'm afraid there must be an unknown secret behind this." Her tone revealed a bit of helplessness and unwillingness, as if she was also heartbroken by this sudden change.
Upon hearing this, Jinxiu frowned and a hint of indignation flashed in her eyes. She stood up suddenly and said angrily, "Mrs. Zhang did this on purpose. She only presented three new sets of clothes in an attempt to confuse people. She deserves death!" There was unquestionable firmness in her voice, and it was obvious that she was disgusted with the owner of the tailor shop.
Qin Suling sat by the window, the morning light outlining her soft silhouette. She gently raised her hand, signaling Jinxiu to stay calm. Her eyes were slightly focused, as if she could see into the deepest secrets of people's hearts. She gently asked Jinlan, "Have you heard any rumors about the six sets of clothes that arrived earlier?"
Jin Lan shook her head, unable to hide the disappointment on her face: "I was afraid of disturbing the sewing room, so I asked the old lady privately, but I learned that only one set of clothes was delivered to her this month. As for the other five sets, their whereabouts are still unknown, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth."
Qin Suling sighed softly, her voice showing both helplessness towards the impermanence of the world and a sense of indifference. "Forget it, perhaps this is fate, and it cannot be forced. Let them go with the wind." Her words were soft, but they revealed an unquestionable power that made people involuntarily convinced.
However, Jin Lan was still uneasy in her heart. She hesitated to speak, with a complicated expression. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly remembered another more urgent matter. Her face suddenly changed, and she said anxiously: "Madam, there are rumors everywhere outside the mansion, and they all say..." When she said this, her heart tightened, and she lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly into Qin Suling's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Qin Suling smiled slightly, and that smile showed both her insight into the fickleness of the world and her calmness in the face of the upcoming challenges. "They say that although I look weak, I dared to reduce his share when I first took over the household affairs, which touched the interests of some people and caused rumors to spread. Is that right or not?" Her voice was calm and powerful, as if she had already expected such a storm.
Upon hearing this, Jinxiu was so shocked that she could not express it in words. She widened her eyes and shouted in disbelief, "Madam, this rumor is absolutely ridiculous! How could it spread so quickly in the mansion?" Her heart was burning with anger and full of doubts, knowing that there must be someone behind this.
Nanny Wu frowned, looking even more worried. She knew that rumors were more ferocious than tigers. If they were not quelled in time, it might endanger Qin Suling's position in the mansion, and might even cause the general to misunderstand Qin Suling, thus planting an irreparable rift between them.
"Have the staff been arranged properly?" she asked Qin Suling anxiously, her eyes full of concern and anxiety.
Qin Suling nodded slightly, with a determined light in her eyes. "Everything has been arranged. We will go to the meeting room immediately to make the truth known to the world." Her words revealed an unquestionable determination, as if she was ready to face all challenges.
After she finished speaking, she stood up, with an upright posture and firm steps. Under her leadership, a group of people marched towards the meeting hall, vowing to uncover the conspiracy hidden in the dark and clear their name.
