The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

Chapter 338

Qin Jiu kept an eye on Qin Zeyu’s lesson for a few days, and it was only after several days did the sibling returned to the Marquis mansion to pay their respect to Old Madam Qin.

Since moving out, the three siblings from the eldest house have been going back together every ten days to pay their respects to Old Madam Qin.

On weekdays, whoever has free time, they would go visit Old Madam Qin to spend time her, sometimes they accompany her for lunch, and sometimes leave after a short talk. This was also what Empress Wei wanted, after all, Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu, these brothers would soon enter their official careers, and whether they want to be general or civil servants, unfilial behavior was the biggest offense, which was enough to make their career hopeless.

Qin Zhun was just an uncle from next door and it didn’t really matter if they pay their respect to him or not, however, Old Madam Qin was their legitimate grandmother so they need to pay their respect and serve her.

Old Madam Qin was very happy to see Qin Jiu and Qin Zeyu, she immediately pulled Qin Zeyu and sighed ruefully as she said how he had grown taller and how he looked strong, she then also pulled Qin Jiu and said she looked good.

Distance creates beauty. Once these people were no longer in front of her, Old Madam Qin couldn’t help but mutter every day feeling even more longing for her three grandchildren in the eldest house.

While talking, Old Madam Qin mentioned Qin Xin inadvertently, “Xin’er, that girl, may not have had a good time at the Second Prince’s Mansion”

“How so?” Qin Jiu asked curiously.

“When she came back here two days ago her complexion was terrible.” Old Madam Qin sighed as she continued with a frown, “But no matter how much I asked her, she only said that she was doing well and that His Highness the Second Prince treated her well, ai, if she was really well, how could she lose her joy just after getting married, it’s only been a few days and she has lost a lot of weight.”

Old Madam Qin felt that Qin Xin must have suffered some kind of grievance, frowning deeply she said worriedly, “Normally, a newly married couple should be intimate, and there is no one else in the second prince’s mansion ah.”

Old Madam Qin was already at the age where she had seen countless brides, and there were not many brides who were not radiant and charming.

“But I can also see that she seems reluctant to mention the second prince, and sometimes when she mentioned him, she looked like she was about to cry.”

When Qin Xin mentioned the second prince before, she was obviously beaming and had endless words to say, so the more Old Madam Xin thought about it, the more worried she became. She muttered, “I also saw pinch marks on her right wrist, she said she had accidentally pinched herself…”

Hearing this, Qin Jiu realized that something was wrong and blinked.

In the novel, wasn’t the relationship between the hero and the heroine very good? Qin Xin has just married, so there should be no such thing as seven itchy years, besides, as Old Madam Qin said, the second prince hasn’t married his consort yet, so no one was really making trouble between them.

Seeing that Qin Jiu was silent, Old Madam suddenly remembered that Qin Jiu and Qin Xin were not in a good relationship so she stopped talking further.

Qin Zeyu, who was only twelve years old, was really not interested in topics such as newlyweds and intimacy so he just silently played with the dagger that Gu Zezhi had given him, occasionally throwing it from his left hand to his right hand.

The dagger was shining brightly making Old Madam Qin startled, afraid that Qin Zeyu might accidentally cut his hand.

Old Madam in couldn’t help but soothe, “Yu’er, I had the kitchen make the hibiscus cake you like to eat today, eat a little, don’t play with dagger…”

With his sister around, Qin Zeyu didn’t dare to be naughty at all and obediently put the dagger away, wore it back on the side of his waist, and then ate his snacks.

Seeing that the dagger returned to its sheath, Old Madam Qin calmed down, but inevitably remembered Gu Jing being stabbed by Yelu Luan, she softly muttered. “Perhaps because the second prince was wounded, he felt unhappy and took it out on Xin’er?”

When Old Madam Qin said this, Qin Jiu also remembered Gu Jing’s injury.

She felt that Gu Zezhi must have guessed whether Gu Jing was seriously injured or not, but he had to keep it a secret, it was fine and all if he didn’t want to tell Qin Zeyu because of his big mouth but he wouldn’t even tell her, it was so annoying!!

Qin Jiu stared at Qin Zeyu across from her, feeling itchy to do something, whilst Qin Zeyu, who was eating hibiscus cakes, blinked innocently. What’s wrong with his sister?!

No matter how curious Qin Jiu was, it was no use. After Gu Jing was injured, he faded out of the court and remained locked up in the Second Prince’s mansion, and never even invited anyone when he married Qin Xin, but even so, there were always rumors about him in the capital.

It was said that the second prince held his new concubine at the top of his heart and followed her in everything.

It was also said that the second prince’s concubine was beautiful and charming that he was bewildered and awakened his carnal side;

And it was also said that the second prince’s energy was so vigorous that he hangs out with his concubine courtyard day and night.

For some unknown reason, these rumors spread among the common people and spread in such an uproar, one by one, that even Qin Jiu sent Du Ruo out to buy a box of snacks so she could hear someone talk about it.

Du Ruo also knew that these rumors shouldn’t be said to smear the ears of her young miss, but because the second prince’s concubine was clearly referring to Qin Xin, Du Ruo was worried that these rumors about Qin Xin would instead damage her young miss reputation.

Upon hearing these rumors, Qin Jiu was obviously dumbfounded that her jaw dropped, “This… this… this…”

This gossip was too explosive!

Qin Jiu was so excited, and it felt like she had seen hot searches about celebrity couples on Weibo before.
