Chapter 30 Xie Yanli chooses to believe her
Dinner at the Marquis's residence.
Qin Jiuwei was eating quietly with her head down when she suddenly heard someone calling her.
“Jiuwei, I know you care deeply about your child and have specially chosen a tutor for Juege.”
The Lady Hou wore a smile, her face radiating kindness and gentleness.
But suddenly, her tone changed, "But how could you choose such a young actor?"
"If we're going to choose, we should choose a respected and virtuous elder."
“I know you were originally a concubine’s daughter in the Marquis’s mansion, so you don’t know much about these things.”
Lady Hou frowned, looking heartbroken.
“If you don’t understand, just ask me. A child’s first education is a big deal, and we can’t let it be delayed like this.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Jiuwei put down her jade chopsticks and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
Both Xie Wanning and Lady Hou disliked her.
However, Xie Wanning's consistent criticisms were shallow and foolish, making it easy for people to tell that she was just looking for trouble.
In contrast, Lady Hou was much smarter.
Under the guise of doing what's best for you, they secretly negate your decisions and subtly suppress and belittle you.
The skill levels of these two are worlds apart.
Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.
However, she wasn't afraid.
Qin Jiuwei said softly, "Since my mother-in-law is so knowledgeable, she must have carefully selected it beforehand."
"But if we keep dragging this out, who knows how long it will drag on, so the daughter-in-law had no choice but to make the decision on her own."
Upon hearing this, Lady Hou's face instantly stiffened.
Qin Jiuwei was subtly mocking her! That bitch!
Seeing that the two of them were arguing, Xie Wanning immediately spoke up and sided with the Lady Hou.
"Sister-in-law, even if you're in a hurry, you can't just pick one randomly like that."
Madam Xie couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.
This was the first time Xie Wanning had seen the old lady standing beside her, and her voice couldn't help but become a little excited.
"Yes, Grandmother, with Physician Lin before and the tutor this time, my sister-in-law always sends such young men to our house to do things. I'm afraid she has some ulterior motives, doesn't she?"
Xie Wanning raised her chin and rebuked, "Sister-in-law, you handled this matter far too rashly!"
Madam Xie stopped Xie Wanning with a look, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
Qin Jiuwei completely ignored Xie Wanning and looked at Old Madam Xie, speaking gently.
"Grandmother does not know that although Mr. Zhong is young, he already has academic achievements. He is already a Juren at such a young age."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xie immediately felt relieved.
She said that Jiuwei wasn't the kind of person who couldn't think straight, unlike her muddle-headed granddaughter.
Seeing that Old Madam Xie had been persuaded, Xie Wanning immediately became anxious.
"Grandmother! Don't just listen to my sister-in-law's side of the story. Think about what I just said!"
"What did you just say? Let me hear it too. Since we've already invited a mentor, there's no harm in giving it a try." A clear and pleasant voice rang out from behind the crowd.
Xie Yanli had important business to attend to today and only just returned home. Upon entering, he overheard Xie Wanning's slander and accusations against Qin Jiuwei.
He had witnessed firsthand how diligently Qin Jiuwei had cared for the three children these past few days.
Xie Wanning was also taken aback, and opened her mouth, "Big brother..."
"Have Mr. Zhong teach for a day tomorrow. If that doesn't work, we can find another teacher. It's too early for Third Sister to say these things now."
Xie Yanli interrupted, his gaze sweeping coldly over Xie Wanning and Madam Hou.
Doesn't he know what this mother and daughter are thinking?
He was tired of this kind of trick of deliberately stirring up trouble in Qinglan Courtyard to pave the way for his second brother. Couldn't he come up with something new?
Xie Wanning and Madam Hou were so frightened by that cold gaze that they shrank back, lowered their eyes and dared not speak again.
Seeing that the two had finally calmed down, Qin Jiuwei drank the sweet soup with satisfaction.
When faced with a problem, Xie Yanli chose to believe in her and stand by her side.
It seems that her efforts over this period of time have not been in vain.
Xie Wanning and Madam Hou's stupidity and lack of common sense were actually a great help to her.
This is the first time in my two lifetimes that I have felt trusted. It feels so good.
The next day.
"Mr. Zhong, this way please."
The maid led Zhong Xunxi to Qinglan Courtyard.
"The young mistress is still washing up. Please wait a moment, Mr. Zhong."
Zhong Xunxi nodded slightly and quietly looked around.
Yesterday, after Xiao He brought him to the Marquis's residence, he was placed in the front courtyard and did not see the young mistress.
Xiao He told him that he was going to teach Xie Shizi's youngest child, Young Master Xie Jue.
Today is the first day of class.
I wonder what kind of people Xie Shizi's wife and that young master Xie Jue are...
Suddenly, Zhong Xunxi's gaze stopped in front of a wooden window.
A handsome young boy was sitting upright behind his desk, his eyes fixed on the pages of a book, his gaze full of concentration.
"Which young master is this?" Zhong Xunxi couldn't help but ask.
The maid looked in the direction of his gaze and replied, "This is Young Master Jing."
Zhong Xunxi frowned and began to think for a moment.
Just then, a clear, melodious voice, like that of a nightingale, rang out.
"I apologize for keeping Mr. Zhong waiting."
Qin Jiuwei led Xie Jue out of the main house, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Lady Hou was in poor health and got up very late in the morning, so I was exempted from paying my respects to her in the morning.
Therefore, since Qin Jiuwei married into the Marquis's mansion, she has been sleeping until she naturally wakes up every day.
She hadn't expected Zhong Xunxi to arrive so early today.
Zhong Xunxi looked at the beauty who had suddenly appeared in front of him, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
He knew about Xie Shizi's marriage; the news had already spread throughout the streets and alleys.
All I heard was that she was a concubine's daughter from the Qin family, and everyone said she was not good enough for Prince Xie.
But I never expected that Mrs. Xie would be so beautiful.
Zhong Xunxi quickly regained his senses and bowed, saying, "I am Zhong Xunxi, and I greet the Crown Prince's wife."
Qin Jiuwei nodded slightly. "Hello, Mr. Zhong."
"Come. Quickly pay your respects to the master."
Xie Jue took a few small steps forward and stood up respectfully.
A clear, somewhat childish voice said, "This student greets the Master."
After speaking, he even made a concerted effort to bow.
Although his movements were still a bit clumsy, his earnest expression was quite amusing.
Zhong Xunxi nodded in satisfaction.
Despite his privileged background, Young Master Jue possesses none of the vices often associated with sons of noble families.
No wonder he is Xie Shizi's child.
As Zhong Xunxi led Xie Jue to the door, she paused, her mind replaying the scene she had just witnessed.
He turned around and said, "Young Madam, there is something I am curious about, but I am not sure if I should ask it."
