Chapter 336

The spring breeze at the end of April was soft and gentle, this season was also full of flowers, so when the wind comes, the air was warm with the fragrance of flowers, lingering on the tip of his nose, warming up his heart.

“I should be back in a few months.” Gu Zezhi suddenly turned his words around and raised his hand to rub her head, “You have to be obedient in the capital.” Be obedient and wait for him to come back.

“Am I not obedient? “Qin Jiu pouted, bulging her cheeks.

Gu Zezhi silently chuckled as his obsidian dark phoenix eyes becomes alluring yet gentle. “Obedient, you’re the best!”

Qin Jiu couldn’t hold back anymore and immediately broke into a “puchi” and laugh; her laughter was as crisp as the mountain stream that floated out through the window.

The spring breeze outside was blowing gently, fanning the branches of delicate peach blossoms outside the window, and leaving a few fallen flowers on the windowsill.

On the fourth day of the fifth month when the weather was getting warmer and warmer, Gu Zezhi and Qin Zening set off to Minzhou.

With only Qin Zeyu, this naughty child alone, Qin Jiu suddenly felt that the mansion was too quiet.

Feeling bored, Qin Jiu went to watch his naughty brother practice martial arts and read books, which scared Qin Zeyu. Fearing that his sister would not let him practice martial arts, he strives hard, and his improvements were very rapid that even his master had a new level of respect for him.

However, Qin Jiu on the other hand, deeply feels that this naughty child was either stupid or does not like to study and work hard!

She simply watched this naughty child as he practices, anyways, he at least followed her advice on reading books for his learning so the rest of her time she couldn’t help but think of Gu Zezhi. Thinking about where he and Qin Zening were right now, were they still on the road or at sea, and if they were, did they get seasick or if they were unaccustomed…she never knew that she could miss someone so much.

What baffled her was, when he left, she didn’t feel particularly reluctant, as if she knew he would always come back.

Only then did Qin Jiu remember about it, but she didn’t want to go.

Qin Xin was the second prince’s concubine but no matter how noble the second prince’s status was, a concubine would always be a concubine. It was impossible to go to Qin Xin’s wedding and act as a handkerchiefs turnover* and then congratulate her. She was even more unwilling to associate with a concubine, after all, no noblewoman could afford to lose face.

(*refers to female friends with close relationships and deep friendships. Raw is 手帕交 you can try to search and learn more about this, since the explanation is long)

Hence, Qin Xin was destined to have a cold ceremony and was fated to be forgotten by those noblewomen.

Qin Jiu was the future Princess of Chenjun, if she goes to the Marquis’s mansion then Qin Xin would be able to save some face to some extent and after being carried into the Second Prince’s mansion, it could also make those servants look up at Qin Xin.

understood this, so she went back and reported every word to Old Madam Qin, “The third young miss is also worried that if something really happens, this will just anger the second miss on his wedding day.”

Old Madam Qin sighed as she said, “Ai, it’s also because I didn’t think things thoroughly.”

She originally thought that since they were sisters, and now that Qin Xin was leaving, it was only natural for Qin Jiu to come back for the ceremony and forgot for a moment that the two were not on good terms.

In the past, when the eldest house and the marquis’s house hadn’t separated, whenever these two sisters met, Qin Xin would be sullen for a while and shed tears of guilt. And since today was an important day for Qin Xin indeed, it would be not good to see her cry.

On the way, the servants performed their duties and the whole marquis mansion looked the same as usual, except for a few big red lanterns hung in Qin Xin’s courtyard, and a few “happiness” letters were posted.

But in her courtyard, it was deserted, and only two zongrenfu* were sent by the imperial clan to inspect Qin Xin’s “dowry” and all those that did not comply with the regulations were taken out of the box.

(*someone who manages the affairs of the royal clan)

According to the rules, a woman’s dowry should be delivered to her husband’s house the day before she gets married but since Qin Xin was just a concubine, of course, there was no such thing as a dowry, so all her belongings were carried into the Second Prince’s mansion with her in a sedan chair.

She had known that Madam Su had sent an invitation to Qin Jiu, and she also knew that the invitation disappears with no hope of returning.

She had also long guessed that Qin Jiu has no intention of coming, so she had a hard time coaxing Old Madam Qin to send someone to call Qin Jiu, but didn’t expect that Qin Jiu would not even give Old Madam Qin any face.

She let out a long sigh and then said, “I’ve made grandmother worry.”
