Chapter 269

Chapter 269

Du Ruo has been serving Qin Jiu for some time now and knows the nature of her mistress, so she advised, "Miss, you can choose one set and try it out." As Qin Jiu said, the needlework and its craftsmanship were good, so as long as one set was good, the others wouldn't be far behind.

Even Cui momo, who was on the side, chime in.

Faced with three pairs of eager eyes, Qin Jiu, who was "alone and powerless", could only nod. She'll just try one set.

Seeing that she agreed, Old Madam Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ordered someone to pass the message to the sewing room, then looked at Qin Jiu flatteringly as she said: "Jiu'er, are you used to the food in the house, do you want grandma to open a small kitchen just for you?"

While talking, Old Madam Qin felt even more guilty thinking that since Qin Jiu grew up in Jinzhou when she was young, she might not be used to the food in the capital. Ai, she was really so careless and ignored this girl before.

She really believed that Madam Su was very considerate of everything after all over the years, the Marquis mansion has been managed well. Who would have thought that Madam Su was only acting for her reputation.

"Thank you, grandmother." Qin Jiu readily agreed.

Although she ate everything and there was nothing she was not used to, it would be much more convenient to have a small kitchen in her own courtyard so she could eat whatever she wanted anytime.

Seeing that Qin Jiu was straightforward and not polite to her at all, Old Madam Qin was so happy that she was finally able to relax at once, she then hurriedly instructed Cui momo, " Cui momo, hurry up and make arrangements for a momo who is good at cooking and send it to Jiu'er."

Cui momo smiled and said, "Yes madam, this servant will go now."

Cui momo has served Old Madam Qin for so many years so she naturally knows her temperament. Old Madam Qin was kind-hearted and loves the third miss, but she was indecisive by nature and easily sways.

Ai, fortunately, she was by her side and could watch her. In case, Old Madam Qin was coaxed by Madam Su and Qin Xin again, she could quietly inform third miss Qin.

At the same time as Cui momo withdrew, she took another look at Qin Jiu and the smile on her lips deepened even more.

Old Madam Qin who was sitting on the kang bed sipping her tea when she suddenly remembered something. Raising her hand, she made a gesture and the maidservants in the room retreated politely.

"Jiu'er," Old Madam Qin asked cautiously, "do you also know about Duan Wangye and Duan Wang Fei's divorce?"

"I know." Qin Jiu nodded.

Madam Qin inwardly sighed and comforted softly, "Jiu'er, don't worry the Marquis will support you."

Qin Jiu blinked as she didn't quite understand what Old Madam Qin was trying to say.

However, in the eyes of Old Madam Qin, she felt that this third granddaughter of hers was really pitiful, it was not easy for the emperor to point out a good family, and then something like this happened, this happy occasion was instead overlaid by this simple issue that was deliberately being complicated.

The more Old Madam Qin thought about it, the more she felt sorry for her granddaughter. Holding the Buddhist bead in her hand, Old Madam Qin said, "I heard that Duan Wang Fei has already written the divorce letter, but Duan Wangye refused to accept it so the letter was handed over to the clan's residence."

This was the first time Qin Jiu heard about this, so the hand that was about to pick up the teacup stopped midair as she asked: "Has written a divorce letter and sent it?"

Old Madam Qin nodded in response, with a complicated expression, "I just learned about it today, too."

It was said that this morning, Duan Wang Fei sent people to deliver the divorce paper to Duan Wangye's Mansion but Duan Wangye tore it directly. However, Duan Wang Fei was even more ruthless, she simply ignored Duan Wangye and wrote another divorce agreement and sent it directly to the clan's residence, and asked the trusted people to tell her in public that if the clan ignored it, she would not be reconciled and would have yijue.

The Clan residence has no choice but to take Duan Wang Fei's divorce paper, and now this has become a headache.

Duan Wang Fei didn't hide her actions at all, so all the officials in the capital know about it. At first, many people thought that Duan Wang Fei was only threatening Duan Wangye to make him bow but now that Duan Wang Fei has acted so decisively, it was clear that she doesn't want to give Duan Wangye any face, and now believe that she really wants to divorce her husband.

If Duan Wang Fei really wants to divorce, this was an embarrassment to the clan.

Fearing that Qin Jiu would be worried, Old Madam Qin didn't say much, but just sighed and said, "Ai, if she doesn't think about herself, she should think about the third master."

Third Master?! Qin Jiu was stunned for a moment before realizing that the third master Old Madam Qin was referring to Gu Zezhi.

With a subtle feeling Qin Jiu looked at Old Madam Qin and said with a straight face, "Grandmother, Duan Wang Fei did the right thing."

Qin Jiu didn't say much after she said this, and she just wanted to show Old Madam Qin that she was on Madam Xiao's side.

Old Madam Qin: "..."

Old Madam Qin thoughtfully looked at Qin Jiu.

Although her granddaughter was still young, she sees far more clearly than herself. She has these piercing eyes that even Taoist Priest Yun Guang, who has been swindling and cheating in the capital for so many years has shown her true colors in front of her. So, since her granddaughter said so, she should have her reasons.

Thinking carefully about it, Gu Zezhi has now a job here in the capital, and would most likely stay in the capital in the future, while Duan Wangye always has to go back to the western border.

In the matter of the divorce, it was better for her granddaughter to choose her mother-in-law. After all, later, when her granddaughter marries into their family it would be better to live with her mother-in-law who thinks of her well so that she could live her life easier.

On this thought, Old Madam Qin felt that her granddaughter was more reasonable, so she followed her words and said, "Jiu'er, you know what's in your heart, just go to see the Duan Wang Fei more these days, and accompany her to relieve her boredom."

After she settled with this thought, Old Madam Qin then talk a lot more.
