After the noble lady was reborn, the whole mansion begged her for forgiveness

As the carriage bumped along, the rain gradually subsided and the air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and grass.

Qin Suling's eyes never left Qi Qiyuan. Her heart was filled with worries, but more of determination and resolve.

She knew that this incident was not just an attack on Qi Qiyuan personally, but also a threat to their entire family.

After returning to the Qi Mansion, Qin Suling immediately ordered his servants to invite the best doctor to treat Qi Qiyuan.

After a careful examination, the doctor confirmed that Qi Qiyuan's injuries were not life-threatening, but also pointed out that he would need a long period of rest and recuperation to fully recover.

After hearing this, Qin Suling became even more determined to investigate the matter thoroughly and give her husband justice.

……

As Qin Suling stepped into the mansion, the last ray of sunset in the sky quietly disappeared behind the clouds.

The night slowly fell like a veil, covering this majestic mansion with a veil of mystery.

She walked lightly, like a deer moving through the woods, and entered the inner room silently, longing to find a bit of peace and tranquility of her own in this magnificent place, so that her tired soul could rest for a moment.

However, this long-awaited tranquility does not seem to have fully arrived.

A subtle and cautious call, like the fragrance of an orchid blooming inadvertently in the night, drifted into her ears slowly, carrying with it a hint of subtle panic and anticipation.

"lady……"

The voice was gentle with a barely perceptible tremor, and it came quietly from behind her. It was Tian He, the woman who once followed Aunt Zhao closely but was now standing alone in the corner of this strange mansion.

Qin Suling raised her eyelids slightly. In the bronze mirror, her figure and the figure in the distance that was trembling unconsciously due to nervousness complemented each other, like a complex and subtle painting.

She did not rush to respond, but just stared quietly, with an indescribable depth flashing in her eyes, as if she could see into the deepest secrets of the human heart.

Tianhe's heart was like a small boat in a storm. Shock, fear, and helplessness intertwined into an impenetrable net that bound her tightly.

The luxury of the Qin family, every brick and tile exudes a suffocating atmosphere of dignity, making her, an outsider, feel even more insignificant and helpless.

She was originally a spy planted by Aunt Zhao next to Qin Suling, intending to monitor her in the name of loyalty. However, she did not expect that the human heart in this deep courtyard was more unpredictable than the night. Not only did she fail to complete her mission, but she gradually lost herself in the game of power and lost her former status and trust.

"Madam, let me help you bathe, I..."

Tian He mustered up her courage, with a hint of pleading and uneasiness in her voice, but before she could finish her words, she was gently interrupted by Qin Suling's voice, which was as cold as the morning dew in autumn: "No need."

These four words were short and powerful, like a chilly winter breeze that instantly made Tian He's heart sink into an ice cellar.

Jinxiu and Jinlan smiled at each other. That smile showed both insight into Tianhe's situation and awe of Qin Suling's inviolable majesty.

They exchanged glances in tacit understanding and continued with their work, taking apart the complicated hair accessories for Qin Suling. Every movement seemed so meticulous, as if even the dust in the air did not want to disturb the tranquility.

Tian He looked at Qin Suling's tall and straight pine-like figure, feeling mixed emotions.

She had never expected that this lady who looked gentle on the outside was actually as tough as iron on the inside, and her methods were so sophisticated that they were intimidating.

Every word and every look of Qin Suling seemed to carry an unquestionable power, making people feel a deep chill inadvertently.

"Tian He, what benefits did Aunt Zhao give you that made you so willing to work for her?"

Qin Suling turned around slowly, looking straight into Tian He's eyes, which didn't dare to meet hers.

Her voice was calm, but like an undercurrent in a deep pool, it caused ripples in Tianhe's heart.

Tian He's legs softened and she knelt on the ground involuntarily, repeatedly explaining: "I am a stupid servant and don't understand what Madam means. I am loyal to Madam and will serve you wholeheartedly."

However, Qin Suling was not moved by this. She knew very well that in this deep mansion, loyalty and betrayal were often just a matter of thought.

She sighed softly, as if she was sighing for the helplessness and sadness of this world: "Tianhe, remember, no matter where you are, you must learn to protect yourself. What Aunt Zhao can give you, I can also give you, but the premise is that you must be loyal to your heart."

After saying that, Qin Suling left Tianhe alone standing there in a daze.

The night wind blew by, taking away the tears on her face, and also seemed to take away the confusion and struggle in her heart.

In this world full of intrigues and calculations, she may have finally understood a truth - only by constantly striving for self-improvement can she find a ray of light and hope that belongs to her in this deep courtyard.

Qin Suling's lips were curled up in a faint yet deep smile, that smile was like the misty lake in the early winter morning light, quiet and cold, but without any warmth behind it, just like the most imperceptible cold wind in the middle of the night, quietly invading people's hearts.

"Tian He," she said softly, her tone calm and peaceful, but it was like the voice of the netherworld, traveling through the cracks of time and space, reaching the softest and most fragile corner of Tian He's heart, slowly dragging her heart into the dark abyss of despair, "You need to understand that within this mansion, if I want to make you disappear, I have more than enough means, and I won't leave any trace."

Upon hearing this, Tian He's face turned pale as paper in an instant. She fell to her knees involuntarily and kowtowed repeatedly. Fear surged like a tide, almost drowning her.

"Madam, please have mercy! Madam, please have mercy!" Her voice was trembling and crying. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, full of helplessness and despair.

Jinxiu and Jinlan stood aside and witnessed this scene. They both had looks of shock and disbelief in their eyes.

They had never seen Qin Suling in such a serious state, and they had never expected that this usually gentle and dignified lady could drop the atmosphere to freezing point in an instant and push Tianhe to the brink of despair.

However, Qin Suling's heart was calm, without any ripples.

She knew very well that Tianhe was just a chess piece controlled by an invisible hand in this complicated chess game. Her fate had already been determined and she had no control over it.

So, she slowly spoke, her voice was soft but it carried irresistible authority: "You can still maintain contact with the Second Madam, but the words in the letter must be decided by me. Remember, your loyalty should only belong to this mansion and to me."

When Tian He heard this, her eyes were full of disbelief. She looked up at Qin Suling. Her clear eyes seemed to contain wisdom and compassion that could see through everything.

She had never expected that the lady had such a broad mind, and she had never thought that she had already seen through everything and had everything under control.

She gritted her teeth, feeling mixed emotions, and finally agreed, and kowtowed again to express her gratitude: "I will follow Madam's instructions and will never slack off in the slightest."

Qin Suling nodded slightly, not paying any attention to Tianhe's departure.

She turned and walked to the dressing table. The bronze mirror reflected her cold and resolute face, like a plum blossom that stood proudly in the snow, unafraid of wind and frost. Her heart was as calm as water, and she was indifferent and calm about the coming storm, as if everything was expected.

Tianhe stood up trembling and hurriedly fled the room, her heart full of fear and anxiety.

She knew that the road ahead would be even more difficult and bumpy, but she also realized a truth: in this mansion, only obedience and wisdom could give her a chance of survival.

Qin Suling gently closed her eyes, a glimmer in her eyes, and she was secretly planning in her heart.

She knew very well how heavy the burden on her shoulders would be after losing the support of the Qin family's past prosperity.

Even if you have not experienced it yourself, you can still sense the heaviness and difficulty in his expression.

However, in this turbulent world, it is difficult to protect oneself, let alone seek justice for others?

She turned slowly and stared at the cold and resolute face in the bronze mirror. The mirror reflected the figures of two maids who were waiting with bated breath because of her previous actions.

Qin Suling had a subtle smile on her lips, which contained a subtle tenderness and determination: "Do you two have the heart to seek justice for your parents?"

The two maids looked at each other and instantly became resolute. They knew Qin Suling's intentions and were grateful for the opportunity she gave them.

So, they knelt on their knees and swore a sonorous oath: "As long as Madam can clear the grievances of our parents, we sisters are willing to protect them with our lives and swear allegiance to you until death!" Their words showed their deep gratitude to the Qin family as well as a strong desire for revenge and firm determination.
