Chapter 18 This is the boudoir of 9 Wei before?
After lunch, Li called Qin Le'an out.
She frowned. "Back then, you absolutely refused to marry Prince Xie. Look at him now, how good he is to Qin Jiuwei!"
"Since Young Master Xie cares so much about Qin Jiuwei, we can no longer bully her like that."
Li said angrily, "Look at the path you chose! You let that illegitimate daughter climb to this position!"
Seeing Qin Jiuwei live a good life is more painful for her than killing her!
Qin Le'an pursed his lips.
She was angry just now, but she quickly came to her senses.
What can Xie Yanli do now, no matter how good he is to Qin Jiuwei?
In a month, he will be a cripple! A cripple!
Qin Jiuwei could only spend her days caring for a cripple!
Qin Le'an raised his chin, his eyes full of contempt.
"Mother, I'm going to be the Empress someday! What's a Marquis's mansion compared to that?"
"Once I become Empress, I will petition for a title for you! I will make you a first-rank noblewoman!"
Hearing her bold words, Madam Li couldn't help but get excited.
"Mother believes in you. You will definitely live a better life than that little bitch Qin Jiuwei in the future!"
After the mother and daughter finished speaking, they returned to the main room.
Xie Yanli and Qin Jiuwei were preparing to return to the Marquis's residence at this time.
Father Qin quickly stood up and said, "I'll see you to the gate of the mansion."
Just as the group reached the doorway, a dark, inky cloud suddenly appeared on the horizon.
Large raindrops began to fall without warning, starting as just a few scattered drops, but soon pouring down like a waterfall.
Rainwater poured down from the eaves, forming curtains of water, and raindrops splashed on the ground, creating sprays of water.
"Why did it rain suddenly?"
Qin's father frowned and turned to order, "Go and get an umbrella quickly."
Seeing this, Qin Le'an quickly stepped forward, "It's raining so hard, why don't you and the young master stay at the Qin residence for the night?"
Qin Jiuwei had been dominating her in every way today, and she simply couldn't swallow this insult!
Tomorrow is the day of the talent show, and she must let Qin Jiuwei see the moment she returns home in glory!
I'll finally get my revenge in front of her!
Qin Jiuwei almost burst out laughing when she heard this.
Of course she knew what Qin Le'an was thinking.
She dreamed of entering the palace, of being favored, and of becoming empress.
That's incredibly naive and foolish.
Even with her extreme caution, life in the harem was like walking on a pint.
Not to mention Qin Le'an's brain.
Tomorrow's talent show is sure to be a spectacular show...
Qin Jiuwei was certainly willing to stay and watch the show, but this was not a decision she could make alone.
She turned to look at Xie Yanli, "What does my husband think?"
Xie Yanli frowned as he looked at the torrential rain outside.
"The rain is really heavy, it's better to stay tonight."
Qin's father was surprised that Xie Yanli was willing to stay.
This is a good opportunity for him to have more time to build a good relationship with Prince Xie.
"Then I'll have someone prepare the guest room right away."
Xie Yanli said calmly, "No need to bother tidying up. You can rest in Jiuwei's old room for the night."
Qin's father's expression froze.
Qin Jiuwei's room was even worse than a guest room...
How could we let Prince Xie sleep there?
Father Qin quickly replied, "It's no trouble at all. The guest rooms are very close to the main courtyard, and they can be prepared in no time."
Li waved her hand, her voice urgent.
“Jiuwei’s room is too small; it will make things difficult for the young master.”
Xie Yanli had only mentioned it casually, but seeing their evasiveness, he couldn't help but become suspicious.
What exactly is in Jiuwei's room that makes them so resistant?
Xie Jingchun stood to the side with his arms crossed, his gaze stern.
He said, "Father, I also want to go and see Mother's room."
Qin's father panicked even more, "It's just a room, there's really nothing to see..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Yanli's icy gaze fell upon him.
"Can't I even take a look? Why is my father-in-law making such a fuss?"
Qin's father felt a chill run down his spine from the look in his eyes.
The words I was about to say were instantly swallowed back down.
Qin Jiuwei remained silent.
He simply stared coldly at Qin's father.
Qin Jiuwei's courtyard was not far from the main courtyard, and they arrived quickly.
The wooden door was pushed open, revealing the entire room.
The room wasn't small, but it felt quite empty because there was so little furniture.
A large wooden bed sat in one corner of the room, without much ornamentation. A light blue gauze curtain hung from the bed, with a few holes in it, fluttering slightly in the wind.
A desk stood by the window, its surface gleaming, and an unopened book lay on it.
There was a very old wardrobe against the wall, which no one knew who had given it to Qin Jiuwei.
The cabinet doors were tightly closed, and there were no jewels or carvings.
The only decorative item in the room was an incense burner placed in the corner, but it was covered in dust, indicating that it had never been used.
The walls were as white as snow, without any paintings or decorations, and there was even a hint of mold in the corners.
This is nothing like the room of an official's daughter; it's merely a place where people can live.
To put it bluntly, it's about the same size as the rooms of the maids in a marquis's mansion.
Even the maids' rooms would have a vase or porcelain piece.
Xie Jingchun's thin, resolute face instantly darkened.
I never imagined that my mother had been living such a life before...
Xie Yanli looked around the room and sneered, "This is Jiuwei's former boudoir?"
"If you didn't know better, you'd think Jiuwei wasn't born to your father-in-law."
Qin's father's face flushed red instantly.
I never expected that Xie Shizi would find out about how I mistreated Qin Jiuwei.
But he absolutely cannot admit it!
Qin's father immediately turned to Li and scolded her, "I've been busy with official duties all year round, and I never knew you took such good care of Jiuwei."
His voice suddenly rose, "Is this how you act as a stepmother?"
Li was stunned and stood there.
Doesn't the master know perfectly well how she treated Qin Jiuwei?
But she quickly realized what was happening and took the blame.
She bit her lip tightly, looking very apologetic, "It's my fault for not taking good care of Jiuwei."
Qin's father said coldly, "I'll punish you by making you kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole day tomorrow, so you can think carefully about the mistakes you made."
Madam Li nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I will definitely reflect on my actions."
Qin Jiuwei watched the two of them putting on an act, and sneered inwardly.
Do they just want to brush this matter aside?
There are no doors!
Qin Jiuwei pinched her palm hard with her fingertips, and her eyes instantly turned red.
Her voice choked with sobs as she said, "It's not my stepmother's fault. If anyone is to blame, it's Jiuwei herself. She was born a concubine's daughter, which is why she hasn't received her father's love all these years..."
Qin's father panicked instantly, "What nonsense are you talking about, child? How can your father not love you?"
That brat Qin Jiuwei! He had just let the matter drop.
What is she doing right now?!
Xie Yanli was a close advisor to the emperor, and his career could be decided by a few words he uttered in front of the emperor.
He cares so much about Qin Jiuwei now...
He immediately said, "I neglected you before, it was my fault. I will make it up to you from now on! Any kind of compensation is fine with me!"
Qin Jiuwei pinched her palm again, trying hard not to laugh out loud.
She wiped her eyes with a silk handkerchief and said in a wronged voice, "As long as Father still has his daughter in his heart, that's enough."
"Daughter doesn't ask for much, she just wants to bring some of the things her mother left behind before she died to the Marquis's mansion, so that she can keep them as a memento."
