Chapter 8 I should have followed Miss Yan'er
Qin Ye raised the jade flute in his hand. "Did she say she wanted this jade flute herself?"
Sunset nodded: "Yes, Miss actually likes it!"
Qin Ye snorted coldly. He was still the same as before; he was just putting on a brave face earlier.
After Qin Ye handed the jade flute to Wanxia, he felt a little relieved.
When Wanxia returned to her room, she saw Qin Wan moving around inside and took the initiative to help her up.
Qin Wan turned her head and saw the dazzling white jade flute in her hand. Instantly, a bad premonition arose.
"What is this?" Qin Wan asked.
Wanxia presented the item with both hands, "Miss, I overheard your conversation with the young master outside the door just now."
"I know that you desire this white jade flute, so I dared to follow the young master and obtain it from him. I have come to return it to you!"
Qin Wan was dumbfounded. If she had said no in the past, it would have been because she was being stubborn.
But when she said "no" after this rebirth, she really meant she didn't want it anymore!
She didn't want to have anything to do with the Marquis's family anymore, and it would be best to cut all ties as soon as possible.
But the evening glow, in its own cleverness, accepted the jade flute for itself.
Unaware of the truth, Wanxia was secretly delighted.
Miss definitely wants it. I've gone to such lengths to get it for her, and she'll surely be happy. If she's happy, she'll reward me...
"Who told you to make this decision on your own!" Qin Wan's sudden rebuke startled Wanxia.
Because of the reprimand, Qin Wan swayed a little, but fortunately Wan Shuang arrived in time to support her, otherwise she would have fallen into the chair.
"Miss~"
The sunset looked aggrieved, its wide eyes slightly red.
“I have served by your side for many years, so I know what you are thinking.”
Miss Yudi has mentioned this many times, and has also spoken to me about it many times. I know what you want, Miss. I was just being stubborn earlier. I did this for your own good!
What a convenient excuse for her!
For her own good, he turned to another master the moment she fell on hard times and even slandered her behind her back. This is what she calls "for her own good"!
"I already said I didn't want this jade flute, but you took it on your own initiative, which shows you don't take my words seriously."
I'm giving you two choices: either send it back, or don't serve me anymore!
what?
Not serving the young lady?
Wanxia was stunned. What had gotten into Miss today? All she had asked for was a jade flute. Why was she being driven away?
The evening glow swallowed hard; she absolutely could not leave Wanyue Courtyard.
Here, I am the young lady's personal maid. If I were to leave Wanyue Courtyard, I would become an ordinary maid, not only having to do hard and tiring work, but also receiving less pay and less chance of receiving rewards.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wanxia immediately made her choice, kneeling down and saying, "Miss, please calm down, this servant will take it back right away!"
After wiping away her tears, Wanxia ran outside.
Seeing all this, Wan Shuang helped Qin Wan to the side, feeling somewhat puzzled herself.
Miss usually likes to talk to Wanxia and ask her for advice. In the past, when Wanxia made a mistake, she would just say a few words. Why is Miss so angry today?
"Please calm down, Miss. Don't upset yourself!"
......
As Wanxia wiped away her tears, she walked towards Maple Leaf Courtyard, clutching the jade flute tightly in her hand. Her aggrieved appearance was heartbreaking to see.
However, before they could even reach the gate of Maple Leaf Courtyard, someone called out to them, stopping them in their tracks.
"Miss Wanxia?" Su Yan'er stepped forward, looking at Wanxia with red eyes, her face full of heartache, "What's wrong with you?"
Su Yan'er's voice was soft and sweet, so much so that even women wouldn't dare to scold her, let alone men. After hearing this, Wanxia wiped away her tears again, and looking at Su Yan'er who cared about her, she felt even more aggrieved.
Having served Miss for so many years, when has Miss ever been so gentle with me?
Miss loves to cause trouble, and when she gets into trouble, she always asks me for ideas to fix it. If Miss were half as gentle as Miss Yan'er, I wouldn't have to worry all day about my ideas being exposed.
Wanxia now greatly envies Cuizhu, the maidservant beside Su Yan'er. If she could serve by Miss Yan'er's side, she would definitely have far fewer worries.
"Miss Yan'er!" Wanxia bowed in greeting.
Su Yan'er stepped forward, looking at the jade flute in her hand and her hands, which were red from the cold, and asked with concern, "Where are you going so fast?"
As she spoke, Su Yan'er handed the hot water bottle in her hand to Wanxia so that she could warm herself up.
The sunset was flattered and overwhelmed. Unable to refuse, she accepted it, feeling even more envious of the green bamboo.
"The young master just delivered a jade flute to Miss, but Miss doesn't want it..."
The evening glow told Su Yan'er the whole story, half of it was narration, and half of it was complaining about Qin Wan's arrogance.
After listening, Su Yan'er gave the sunset a big smile and comforted her.
"I just saw that my eldest brother has already left the manor. You won't find him at Maple Leaf Courtyard. Fourth Sister is angry, and it's all because of me. She should take her anger out on me instead of punishing you maids!"
This is true class, this is a good master!
Wanxia regretted not volunteering to serve Su Yan'er when she first entered the manor.
Su Yan'er took the jade flute from Wanxia's hand and said, "Since this jade flute has already been given to Fourth Sister, I will go there again!"
"Thank you, Miss Yan'er. If you were even a little bit as kind as Miss Yan'er, I wouldn't have had to run around in this snowy weather!"
Hearing the comparison, Su Yan'er was overjoyed.
The better she did, the more others praised her, and the more comparisons she received, the longer she could stay in the Marquis's mansion, and the greater her chances of marrying Qin Lang.
The jade flute was handed to Su Yan'er, and Wanxia followed Su Yan'er into Wanyue Courtyard.
The servants had just cleared the road when, in a short while, another layer of snow covered it, making the road crunchy underfoot.
Upon arriving at the room, the maidservant saw Su Yan'er arrive and reported to the inside.
"Miss, Miss Yan'er has arrived!"
Qin Wan, who was inside the room, was startled when she heard the sound.
Su Yan'er?
What is she doing here?
Qin Wan didn't know what Su Yan'er's purpose was in coming here, but her intuition told her that it couldn't be anything good.
Qin Wan was tidying up her small storeroom, which was her source of confidence when she left the Marquis's mansion in the future. Upon hearing the sound, she hurriedly put away the small box.
After a long while, a response finally came from inside the house.
"Come in!"
Su Yan'er walked in, and the strong smell of wound medicine in the room made her feel like vomiting, so she could only cover her nose and persevere.
Qin Wan noticed the white jade flute in her hand at a glance, and then saw Wanxia standing behind her, who also had a hot water bottle in her hand. She could roughly guess the truth of the matter.
She thought that she had fallen on hard times and that's why Wanxia had sought refuge with another, but it turns out she had been planning this all along.
I was so stupid to not realize it all along, and I kept telling her my innermost thoughts, even though she might have been talking badly about me behind my back.
"Fourth Sister!" Su Yan'er bowed.
Qin Wan smiled slightly, "It's snowing heavily outside. Why isn't Sister Yan'er staying in her own courtyard? What are you doing here?"
