Chapter 10 Pack your bags and leave.
Qin Lang frowned. He didn't believe what the woman from Wanyue Courtyard said, so he subconsciously looked at the maid Cuizhu beside him. He didn't say a word, but the pressure from his master made Cuizhu dare not lie.
"Miss Yan'er came to deliver a white jade flute to the Fourth Miss, that's why..."
Cuizhu didn't say anything else, nor did she deny Wanshuang's words, which means that what Wan'er said was true.
This shows that I had only looked at the surface and wronged her.
For some reason, Qin Lang's anger grew even stronger after she learned the truth. Even if she was wronged, couldn't she have explained it clearly?
Why put on such a show, why leave after only saying that one sentence? Who are you trying to impress?
Several days have passed since the drowning incident, and everyone has forgiven her, but she insists on not getting over it.
Perhaps I misunderstood her today, but last time, the drowning incident was definitely not a misunderstanding!
Seeing Qin Lang's increasingly pale complexion, Su Yan'er was terrified. She timidly presented the white jade flute in her hand and explained.
"Second brother, please calm down. Today's events are all Yan'er's fault. It was Yan'er who took it upon herself to deliver the jade flute on behalf of eldest brother."
I never expected that Fourth Sister wouldn't accept it. I thought she was angry with me, which led Second Brother to misunderstand. Please don't be angry, Second Brother. It's all Yan'er's fault!
As Su Yan'er spoke, tears streamed down her face. Even though Qin Lang was furious, he couldn't vent his anger on a crying woman.
Seeing the white jade flute in Su Yan'er's hand, Qin Lang snatched it away and called out to the inner room.
"Since she doesn't appreciate it, there's no need to force it. This jade flute is a fine item, but she doesn't know how to play it, so giving it to her would be a waste!"
Qin Lang knew his words could reach the inner room, so he deliberately said them to her.
Is it really necessary to get so angry over just being punished?
Why can't this matter be let go?
Qin Wan hid in the inner room, truly not wanting to have any further interaction with them. From beginning to end, no matter what she said, they all saw it as an excuse, so she simply stopped talking.
If they had listened to him, the events at the Empress's birthday banquet wouldn't have happened to him, he wouldn't have died tragically at Leishan Temple in his previous life, and he wouldn't be punished in this life.
Qin Wan felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her body ached as if it were being torn apart.
There was no sound outside, and Qin Wan knew they had left. Wan Shuang walked in, and looking at her young mistress, a surge of dissatisfaction welled up inside her.
"Just now, Miss clearly did not force Su Yan'er, but as soon as the Second Young Master arrived, he assumed that Miss forced her to kneel. Miss, why don't you explain yourself?"
Su Yan'er must have done it on purpose. She must have known that the second young master was coming back, so she deliberately knelt in front of the young lady to make the second young master misunderstand that she thought that she was a young lady of the Marquis's mansion and was only staying there temporarily.
Wan Shuang felt indignant on behalf of Qin Wan, but she was just a maid with limited abilities.
Qin Wan shook her head, "Forget it, this isn't the first or second time there's been a misunderstanding. They won't believe me anyway, so why waste my breath?"
Qin Wan now only wants to leave this cannibalistic Marquis's mansion. Right now, the most important thing is to save enough money so that she can take good care of her grandmother while she is still in the mansion. As for the rest, let them misunderstand, since explaining would be futile.
As Qin Wan turned around to continue taking stock of her belongings, she saw Wanxia moving over.
I almost forgot that there was still this maid who had the idea of changing hands and hadn't been dealt with yet.
Before Qin Wan could speak, Wanxia knelt down directly in front of her.
"Please calm down, Miss. I didn't know things would turn out this way. I returned the jade flute as you instructed, but the young master had already left the manor. I had no choice but to give the jade flute to Miss Yan'er, and that's why..."
Qin Wan didn't want to hear her explanation because her heart was no longer with her. Since she wanted to change masters, she would grant her wish.
Qin Wan interrupted her, saying, "Wanxia, you've been serving me since you entered the manor, which is seven years now. We've been master and servant for a time, and I don't want to say anything too harsh."
"Now that the snow has lessened a bit, pack your things and leave Wanyue Courtyard. Whether you go to find another master or have Uncle Wang arrange another job for you, just don't stay and serve in Wanyue Courtyard anymore!"
These words struck her like a thunderbolt, hitting her right on the head and leaving her completely stunned.
She thought the young lady was joking when she said she was going to kick her out, but she didn't expect her to be serious.
She didn't want to leave Wanyue Courtyard. Now she was the young lady's personal maid, and she didn't have to do any of the hard or tiring work. If she really left, she would have to do all those kinds of work.
"Miss, I was wrong, it's all my fault. Please don't send me away. If I leave Wanyue Courtyard, where can I go? No courtyard will want a maid who's been kicked out by her mistress, Miss..."
As Wanxia cried out, Qin Wan might have felt sorry for her in the past and would have retracted her order, but this time she wouldn't. At Leishan Temple, she cried for so long and no one cared about her, so why should she care about others?
Qin Wan's mind was made up. "Wan Shuang, take her away!"
Wanshuang didn't understand why her mistress was acting this way, but Wanxia had just watched and did nothing to defend her mistress when she was wronged. Wanshuang was angry about this, but surely it wasn't enough to drive her away!
However, she was a maidservant and obeyed orders. Without saying much, she pulled Wanxia out.
Evening Glow's heart had long since left the Wanyue Courtyard. She wanted to serve in the West Wing, to be Su Yan'er's personal maid. Not for any other reason than Su Yan'er's gentleness, she only wanted to serve a gentle mistress.
So after Wanxia cried and screamed for a while, Qin Wan still hadn't given in, so she resolutely left.
She had wanted to leave all along and had been looking for the right opportunity; now this was the perfect chance.
Wanshuang thought Wanxia would beg her mistress to stay, but she was stunned when she saw Wanxia pack her things and leave Wanyue Courtyard without looking back.
He returned to Qin Wan's side and told her what he had witnessed.
"Miss, Wanxia is really gone. I thought she would..."
"What did you think? Did you think she would kneel in the snow for three days and three nights, begging me to retract my decision? Did you think she would prove her loyalty by dying, showing that her heart was with Wanyue Courtyard?"
Qin Wan sneered and continued organizing the things in her hands; this was all her savings.
"Her heart no longer belongs to Wanyue Courtyard, and she no longer wants to serve me!"
Wan Shuang was somewhat incredulous. "Miss, Wan Xia always gives you advice and answers your questions. Why don't you want to serve at Wanyue Courtyard anymore?"
Human hearts are unpredictable!
Even family members who have lived together for over a decade can suddenly stop loving each other, let alone a maid. If she doesn't want to be with you, why keep her around? It's harmful to both her and yourself.
The same goes for this Marquis's mansion. Since they no longer love me, why should I stay? Perhaps they would be happy for me to leave.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Give me the box in the cabinet!"
"Yes!"
......
As evening fell, the snow continued to fall, and it showed no signs of stopping.
When Qin Ye returned to Maple Leaf Courtyard, he pushed open the door to the room and saw Qin Lang already sitting inside. There was a white jade flute on the table next to him. He recognized it as the jade flute that he had given to Qin Wan during the day, but he didn't know why it was in his hands now.
How did you get this jade flute?
