Chapter 261

Chapter 261

In just half a day, all sorts of discussions were raging in the capital, and it even reached the Marquis manor. Qin Jiu inevitably heard from Du Ruo's mouth about the gossip that was spreading outside.

As soon as yesterday's incident happened, Qin Jiu knew that there would be commotion in Duan Wangye's mansion but she didn't expect Duan Wang Fei would actually want to divorce Duan Wangye.

Feeling furious with the injustice, Du Ruo said at the side: "Young Miss, seeing how Duan Wangye helped the heir's consort last night, wangfei's heart must have chilled."

"Duan Wangye will definitely regret it, wangfei is so nice!"

Du Ruo has been in Fengluan Palace for many years and has seen at least hundreds of nobles from different clans, so she has some kind of insight into this kind of situation.

Qin Jiu repeatedly nodded and was in deep thought, "Wangfei is a nice person, and Duan Wangye doesn't really know how lucky he is! "

With just the little time Qin Jiu spend with Duan Wang Fei, she could already clearly tell that with Duan Wang Fei's temperament, she was not the kind of person who would come up with the idea of retreating to advance just like what others speculated, she truly wanted to divorce Duan Wangye.

And with the golden thighs beside her, Duang Wang Fei would definitely get her wish.

After thinking about it, Qin Jiu asked, "Du Ruo, do you know where wangfei moved to?"

Du Ruo had already inquired about it and immediately replied, "Jinyu Alley is the house where wangfei's dowry was."

Qin Jiu: "Send a word to Jinyu Alley. Wangfei must be busy moving now, so I'll go help."

Du Ruo hurriedly went to prepare and asked someone to pass the word.

So, on the morning of the 17th day of the first lunar month, Qin Jiu went to help Duan Wang Fei in her new house at Jinyu Alley. But the truth was, coming here to help wangfei was just an excuse. After all, wangfei already has Wang momo to supervise the servants and tidied up the place, so there was no need for Qin Jiu to help.

Qin Jiu instead accompanied Duan Wang Fei drinking tea and playing chess as they chat, in addition to making sure Duan Wang Fei take her medicine properly, she also coaxes her to eat an extra bowl of noodles.

Seeing Duan Wang Fei laughing, her complexion looked much better than that night of Lantern Festival. Qin Jiu also heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that it would be best for wangfei to forget about the scumbag Duang Wangye.

Qin Jiu didn't leave until the sky darkened, and as soon as the carriage went out, she bumps into Duan Wangye in the alley and saw him through the carriage window.

Duan Wangye was walking with his arms folded, with neither a carriage nor a servant by his side, he looked like he had been wandering in the alley for a long time.

When he saw Qin Jiu in the carriage, Duan Wangye froze and stopped in his tracks.

No matter what the current situation was, Duan Wangye was still and also Gu Zezhi's biological father so Qin Jiu could only order the coachman to stop, then got out of the carriage and curtsied to Duan Wangye.

"Wangye."

Duan Wang looked at Qin Jiu with a complicated expression, he was also embarrassed, awkward, and surprised. He cleared his throat as if nothing had happened and asked, "Is wangfei okay?"

Qin Jiu pursed her lips and sighed lightly as she hesitated to answer but said at the end: "Wangfei is not feeling well and didn't eat a bite of lunch today."

Du Ruo who was standing behind Qin Jiu also heard this and silently stared at the tip of her shoe, thinking that her young miss could really talk. Yes, Duan Wang Fei did not eat a mouthful of rice, but she ate two bowls of noodles.

Qin Jiu: "She also doesn't talk much, and was always dazed."

An image then flashed in Du Ruo's mind, Duan Wang Fei was in a very good mood as she kept on playing five-game chess with her young miss, defeating the young miss. So naturally, they didn't talk much since they were too focused on the game.

Qin Jiu: "She finally fell asleep just now. She wasn't really sleeping well previously."

Du Ruo commented to herself again: just now young miss had been coaxing Duan Wang Fei to rest.

Duan Wangye's eyebrows were getting tighter and tighter as he listens, and the wrinkles in the middle of his eyebrows could almost kill mosquitoes.

He sighed deeply: "Ai!"

Duan Wang Fei is seriously ill but still refuses to rest in the manor, she must be really angry.

What to do? Duan Wang Fei is really going to divorce me...

Duan Wangye rubbed his temples distractedly, up to now, he still couldn't figure out how things had come to this point. He couldn't help muttering, "Is it my fault?"

Qin Jiu nodded solemnly: "Of course."

She also didn't wait for Duan Wangye's reaction before she curtsied and said, "Wangye, I will leave first."

Qin Jiu gets on the carriage with Du Ruo's help, as the master and the servant exchange a look tactfully and think of one thing: scum man!

This time, Qin Jiu's carriage drove smoothly all the way out of Jinyu Alley.

She did not return to the marquis mansion immediately but went to a bookstore on Dachang Street that specializes in books. She was planning to buy two new books and bring them to Duan Wang Fei in a couple of days so that she would not be bored.

As soon as she stepped through the door, she was interrupted by a somewhat familiar female voice: "Third Miss Qin."

Qin Jiu followed the voice and saw Yun Jiao coming from a row of bookshelves with several books in her arms, smiling kindly at Qin Jiu.

This was the first time that Qin Jiu saw Yun Jiao after last year's winter hunt. Compared to the previous two times when the other party was lively and delicate, today she vaguely feels she was depressed behind her smile.

Qin Jiu nodded graciously, "Third Miss Yun."

"Third Miss Qin, are you also here to pick out a book?" Yun Jiao smiled as she pointed to the row of bookshelves behind, "The new ones are over there."

Seeing that they were acquaintances, the owner and staff of the store tactfully stepped aside.

The two walked to a row of bookshelves against the east wall, Yun Jiao pointed to one of the rows and said, "These are the new books, I do not like the sad ones so I didn't buy those..."

Her long, slender fingers tapped on a few new books, and out of the corner of her eye, she happened to sweep over a copy of "Records of Princess Husband," a thought swept in her mind, and out of curiosity, she asked in a lowered voice, "Miss Qin, does Duan Wang Fei really want to divorce?"

Qin Jiu nodded.

Seeing Qin Jiu look calm, Yun Jiao raised her eyebrows in surprise, she knew she shouldn't make shallow conversation, but still couldn't help but ask again, "Aren't you ...... worried?"

Qin Jiu: "What should I be worried about?"

Yun Jiao frowned and thought that since Qin Jiu had grown up outside and her parents had died, maybe she didn't understand the situation. She said positively, "If wangfei divorce Duan Wangye, and in case, Duan Wangye makes his side consort Feng her legitimate wife, then his eldest son will become his legitimate son."

What's more, Side Concubine Feng was just a concubine. If she became the legitimate wife, she would be Qin Jiu's rightful mother-in-law. After Qin Jiu married to Duan's palace, wouldn't she be living under Side Concubine Feng?!

Yun Jiao looked at Qin Jiu anxiously as she frowned more tightly, looking like she was pulling out her heart and lungs.

Qin Jiu naturally understood Yun Jiao meaning and smiled, "So what?"

Her eyebrows and eyes curved like a crescent moon, and she said solemnly: "Since wangfei is not happy in Duan Wangfu, why should she force herself to continue? Important is, Duan Wang Fei is happy!"

Yun Jiao Niang: "...."
