Chapter 37: Relieve Worry
The fifteen-year-old girl still has a childish look on her face, but her eyes are firm and bright, making people subconsciously ignore her age.
"Heng'er." Lan's first reaction was disbelief, but her love for her daughter made her not want to give up a chance. "You said you could relieve your second sister's worries...what method?"
She stared closely at the girl who was too young and felt that she was ridiculous and pathetic.
"Why don't Ernie do the opposite?"
"What do you think of this?"
"My grandfather doesn't want to give up on this marriage, so just ask the Xiping Houfu to give up on their own initiative."
Lan was stunned when he heard this: "Start from the Xiping Hou Mansion?"
Qiu Heng nodded: "Yes, let's start with the Xipinghou Mansion. The second sister-in-law has mastered the scandal that Mrs. Xipinghou wants to hide most, so she invites her to meet and hints. I think Mrs. Xipinghou will not have to be the second sister."

Lan's eyes lit up.
Indeed, it was because she was so anxious that her brain became dull.
Qiu Xuan was a little uneasy: "If Mrs. Xipinghou knows that we know about his family's scandal, will she hold a grudge?"
Qiu Heng looked at Qiu Xuan and said calmly: "Even if she holds a grudge, so what? Compared with the life events of the second sister, which one is more important?"
"Yes, if you can't have the best of both worlds, then choose the lesser of two evils." Lan made up her mind.
For the sake of her daughter, she could even say that she would like to be divorced in front of her parents-in-law. Is she still afraid that Mrs. Xipinghou would hold a grudge?
After all, Yongqing Bo's Mansion is also a noble house, and Xiping Hou's family is higher, so he can't just shout to kill him.
Qiu Xuan blamed herself and hid her face: "It was me who caused trouble for my parents."
"Xuan'er, don't think too much. It's just bad luck that Mrs. Xipinghou picked her." Lan held her daughter in her arms to comfort her.
Qiu Heng shook his head gently: "Second sister, you put irrelevant responsibilities on yourself, which is hard and unnecessary. First, Mrs. Xipinghou is not kind, and second, my grandfather only values profits. It's all their fault."
Qiu Xuan was dumbfounded.
Are you so confident in saying it's everyone else's fault?
Lan was so worried that her lips curled up at these words.
She looked deeply at the little girl in front of her, feeling both novel and shocked.
It should be said that these words touched her even more, and they even turned from subtle ripples into huge waves.
As a daughter at home, I am taught to be demure, as a wife to be gentle, as a daughter-in-law to be submissive, and as a mother to be loving. Is there ever a time when you can confidently say that it’s everyone else’s fault?
The touch Qiu Heng's words brought to Lan made her act more decisively. She went out in a low-key manner that day and made an appointment with Mrs. Xiping Hou.
It is not known what the two talked about specifically. The next day, the nanny who went to deliver a letter to the Xiping Marquis Mansion came back with a sad face.
"Old madam, Mrs. Xipinghou said that things have not gone well since the marriage proposal between the two families. It may be that the two children have different horoscopes, so the marriage can be forgotten."
The old lady was furious.
It was the Marquis of Xiping who came to ask for marriage, and it was the Marquis of Xiping who was not happy. Is there something wrong with this family?
The only good thing to think about is that she didn't care about this marriage in the first place.
The old lady was so angry that she called Uncle Yongqing over and told him the news that the marriage had been ruined.
"If you raise a son like that and cheat on him for marriage, you really can't deal with him. Uncle, you still treat him like a treasure."
Uncle Yongqing's face was dull and he left with a dark face. The headache that had not occurred for a long time since he went to the outer courtyard came again.
"Hurry up and put on the soothing aroma."
The maid Jiangxiang silently added incense pills to the incense burner without making a sound.
The old lady told the second wife, Lan, with joy that the marriage was aborted.
Of course, in order to take care of Uncle Yongqing's face, the old lady's lips were not raised too high.
"Daughter-in-law, I know. Thank you, old lady." She knew the result early in the morning, but Lan's eyes still turned red when she opened her mouth.
The old lady glanced at her angrily: "I'm a mother now. Tell the second girl earlier to save her from thinking about it."
"Yes, my daughter-in-law will go right away." Lan left in a hurry, leaving the old lady silently lost in thought.
The big girl didn't have such good luck back then...
After Qiu Xuan received the news from Lan's mouth, her heart truly returned to her stomach, and she couldn't help but cry in her mother's arms.
Lan gently patted her daughter on the back, waited for her to cry out her fright and grievance, and then reminded her: "Go and say thank you to your sixth sister, and thank your mother for me."
"Yeah."
Qiu Xuan went to Lengxiangju, bringing with her the thank-you gifts prepared by Lan and herself.
"These are some handkerchiefs that I embroidered in my spare time. Sixth Sister can use them as she pleases. My mother asked me to bring them to Sixth Sister..."
"Second aunt and second sister are too polite, I just said it casually."
It would be a pity to use the double-sided embroidered handkerchief casually. As for the pair of gold bracelets given by Lan, they are not a small gift either.
Qiu Heng doesn't value these things, but who wouldn't be happy if he has the intention to give back.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Why did Sixth Sister say it so casually? Not to mention the point that made the Xiping Houfu give up. I know about Zhao Si's private affairs thanks to you asking Mr. Xue, the Imperial City Secretary, to investigate..."
After getting out of trouble, Qiu Xuan finally had the time to think about other things: "Are Liu Mei familiar with Mr. Xue? Isn't it easy to ask him for help?"
"The Lord of Jiayi County invited me to watch the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival. A dandy was looking for trouble for me, and Master Xue caught me and gave me a scolding. That day, I went to Dafu Temple to offer incense and came back to the city, where I was severely investigated, and I met Master Xue by chance. I met Mr. Xue. The Lord is an enthusiastic person, so please ask him to help you check it out. Don’t worry, second sister, let him take over the private work.”
"Taking private work?" Qiu Xuan was stunned.
Is that what she meant?
"Sixth sister, are you paying for Mr. Xue to do something? How much does it cost?"
Master Xue seems to be the leader of the Imperial City Division, right?
For a moment, Qiu Xuan began to think about whether the pocket money she had saved for more than ten years would be enough to pay off the debt.
If you really can't help it, ask your mother to pay for it. You can't let Liu Mei pay for it.
"It's not much." Seeing Qiu Xuan's frightened look, Qiu Heng told the truth, "It only cost one tael of silver."
Qiuxuan: "..."
She was silent for a long time, looking at the childish girl.
Perhaps, Mr. Xue was not taking a private job, but was attracted to Sixth Sister... Otherwise, she would not be able to understand that one tael of silver could hire a dignified city envoy to do something.
Judging from the appearance of Sixth Sister, it seems that she is not yet enlightened.
Qiu Xuan was entangled.
If I remind you, will it be self-defeating and make Liu Mei attracted to her?
This is not to say that Mr.
If you don't remind me, what if Liu Mei suffers a loss?
"It's only one tael of silver, second sister, don't worry about it."
Shocked by "one tael of silver" again, Qiu Xuan suddenly stopped worrying.
With just one tael of silver, Mr. Xue can be ordered to do things, so the one who suffers the loss should not be Liu Mei.
Sixth Sister is someone who can honestly say it's everyone else's fault.
Qiu Xuan barely slept last night, thinking over and over again about what happened during the day. Never before had a sentence been so shocking, and even shaken the knowledge she had formed since she was a child.
"Second sister."
"Huh?"
"It will be fine in the future."
No matter what, it shouldn't be worse than the ending that was written down on the old paper.
Let’s talk about the update. I will update it at noon, with a word count of between 2,000 and 3,000 words. I fully understand everyone’s desire to read more, but four thousand updates a day is really stressful for me now. Instead of gritting my teeth and writing under the pressure, and one day my mood breaks down and I can’t write anymore, it’s better to keep loving it and keep flowing. Write for ten or eight years (bold words). The thank you list will be placed tomorrow~
