Chapter 57 It's time to set Wan'er up on a blind date.
Upon hearing this, Su Yan'er cried even harder!
After glaring at Qin Wan, Qin Lang said nothing more to her.
Qin Wan watched Qin Lang and Su Yan'er's departing figures, filled with anger, but no longer heartbroken as before.
This time, she completely severed their relationship.
Qin Wan pulled off the jade hairpin, and now it was back in her hands. Given Qin Lang's temper, she probably wouldn't be able to sell it anytime soon.
This incident further solidified Qin Wan's determination to leave.
Just be careful when selling jewelry in the future.
After treating the injury on her neck, Wan Shuang returned to her room.
Kneeling before Qin Wan, she said guiltily, "Miss, I'm so sorry. It was all my carelessness that caused you to suffer the Second Young Master's resentment!"
This is not Wan Shuang's fault, so how can she blame Wan Shuang for the crime?
She hurriedly helped Wan Shuang up from the ground. "This is not your fault. You were so careful, but you were still discovered. This means there are traitors in our Wanyue Courtyard!"
Upon hearing this, Wan Shuang was startled and subconsciously glanced outside.
"Miss, is this really true?"
Qin Wan was certain; otherwise, how could Wan Shuang, who was so careful, have been discovered?
"Then what should we do?" Wan Shuang lowered her voice, afraid of alerting the enemy. Even Chun Tao was wary of this question.
"I will find an opportunity to examine all the maids in the next few days. You should also pay close attention. If anyone gives anything away, tell me immediately!"
"Yes, I understand!"
As Lunar New Year's Eve approached, the Marquis's residence became increasingly busy.
The furnishings inside the mansion were wiped clean several times, and even the leaves of the evergreen trees were not spared.
Lanterns were replaced with new ones, silks were replaced with new ones, clothes were replaced with new ones—everything that could be replaced was replaced with new ones, as if everyone was waiting for the New Year to arrive.
Shumei Courtyard.
The Treasure Pavilion sent over a lot of new jewelry, all with novel designs, each one irresistible.
"Yan'er, do you think this one looks better, or this one?"
Han Shu held two different earrings in her hands and compared them on her own ears, wanting Su Yan'er to give her a better look.
In the past, Qin Wan was the one who kept an eye on these kinds of things, but at some point it became Su Yan'er. However, no one noticed the difference, and they even got used to it.
Su Yan'er looked at them carefully, pondered for a moment, and still couldn't choose. "This pair is elegant, this pair is gorgeous. Both pairs are nice, but neither can match your noble temperament when worn by Auntie!"
Han Shu was so coaxed by Su Yan'er that her lips never left her mouth. "Since Yan'er thinks they're all good, then we'll take them all. You take a look too, and take whatever you like as well!"
“Auntie, you already bought some new jewelry for Yan’er a few days ago. Many of them I haven’t worn before, so I won’t choose these!” Su Yan’er politely declined, because she hadn’t come here today for the jewelry.
She had been keeping a close eye on what was happening at Wanyue Courtyard these past few days.
Qin Wan replaced almost all the maids in the courtyard, including the young maid she had just bribed. Now that Wanyue Courtyard no longer had her spies, she was even more unaware of Qin Wan's actions.
After all this entanglement, she felt that the relationship between her second brother and fourth sister was unlikely to return to normal, but she still dared not gamble.
In order to successfully marry her second brother and to prevent her fourth sister from gossiping about him, she decided to take the initiative this time.
After all, she'll be seventeen after the New Year, and she can't wait any longer.
Seeing how much Han Shu loved the jewelry that had been given to her, Su Yan'er took a deep breath and stepped forward to take Han Shu's arm.
“Auntie, the day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. After that, it will be a new year. I remember when I first came to the Marquis’s mansion, it was also almost New Year’s Day…”
Su Yan'er talked a lot about the past and expressed her gratitude, which moved Han Shu deeply, and her heart was no longer on the jewelry.
"Yan'er, don't say that. This is all something the Marquis's family owes you. We always feel indebted to you. No matter what grievances you suffer in the future, your aunt will definitely stand up for you!"
"Thank you, Auntie. It is my honor to be able to enter the Marquis's mansion!" Su Yan'er's eyes reddened, and her words were very sincere.
Seeing that the time was right, Su Yan'er wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, helped Han Shu to a soft couch, and continued.
"Aunt, I heard on the street yesterday that the Fourth Prince and Miss Shen will get engaged next February and get married in the middle of the year. If my fourth sister finds out about this, she will definitely be very sad, right?"
Su Yan'er seemed to empathize, and a sad expression appeared on her face as well.
Han Shu sighed and said helplessly, "Wan'er is also stubborn. She has rarely come to Shumei Courtyard these days, and I haven't been to see her either, but I know how she used to feel about the Fourth Prince."
Yes, she'll definitely be sad for a while after she finds out, but her sadness can't change the situation!
"Fourth Sister is deeply in love, but she has loved the wrong person. This is probably Fourth Sister's love tribulation!" The more serious Su Yan'er made the matter sound, the more she could achieve her goal.
Upon hearing this, Han Shu frowned, seemingly agreeing with Su Yan'er's point.
But what should we do?
Seeing the worry on Han Shu's face, Su Yan'er said again, "Auntie, I once heard a master say that a love tribulation needs the word 'love' to resolve it!"
"What do you mean?" Han Shu straightened up and listened carefully to Su Yan'er's explanation.
"Fourth Sister is heartbroken because of the Fourth Prince. If you want Fourth Sister to get rid of the Fourth Prince, then let another man enter Fourth Sister's heart. In this way, the love tribulation will naturally be resolved!"
Han Shu suddenly realized why she hadn't thought of this solution.
After the New Year, Wan'er will be seventeen, which is not young among the unmarried women in Fengdu City. It is time to find her a husband.
But which one should I choose?
Su Yan'er was like a mind reader to Han Shu; before Han Shu could even voice her thoughts, Su Yan'er would speak again.
"Actually, Aunt doesn't need to worry too much. My eldest and second eldest brothers work in the military and have made many acquaintances. They also know about the young men in the capital."
"The eldest and second eldest brothers can gather to select one, then Auntie can take a look again, and finally the fourth eldest sister can review them before making a final decision."
Su Yan'er has already made arrangements for Qin Wan, and she is now looking forward to Qin Wan getting married soon.
Han Shu assumed that Su Yan'er was genuinely thinking of Qin Wan's best interests and thought this method was excellent.
Wan'er has a strange personality, is a bit stubborn, and acts arrogantly. Her future husband must be able to tolerate these shortcomings, so he needs to be carefully chosen.
"Very good, it's settled then. We'll tell them when they return tonight, but don't tell Wan'er yet. We'll tell her after the final selection is made!"
Su Yan'er smiled, her tone even smug, "Yes, Yan'er understands!"
