Chapter 190: The Little Qilin Watches The Fun And Fans The Flames
Keke loves gossip, so he often flies out to find it.
Among them, Marquis Wu’an’s residence is a target of Keke’s special attention because it’s nearby and there’s a lot of gossip.
After eating, it would return to tell Wanwan, and Rong Zhi would occasionally hear a few stories.
“Someone, find a smart one to go next door and find the Marchioness Wu’an. Say that Marquis Wu’an went out for drinks with his colleagues five days ago, that he arranged for his cousin to live in XX alley, and that Marquis Wu’an has hidden a sum of private savings in his youngest son’s pillow.”
“Remember to find someone with a loud voice and have them shout at the doorway of Marquis Wu’an’s house!”
Rong Zhi, being petty and vindictive, didn’t let grudges fester overnight.
The butler’s expression was about to crack.
How did the Lord know so much gossip about Marquis Wu’an?
“Yes!”
The butler’s efficiency was quick. Before long, the Marchioness Wu’an, wielding a horsewhip, stormed out of the mansion, looking like a general on a battlefield, filled with killing intent, to find her man.
She could tolerate other things, but she really couldn’t stand the cousin.
As expected, with too much money, where else would he get the money to settle his cousin!
The reason the Marchioness Wu’an was so angry was that she guessed who that cousin was. She was a distant cousin whom she had met before, and she was a widow. The way that woman looked at Marquis Wu’an was not chaste.
The Marchioness Wu’an naturally guessed what that cousin was up to. She disliked it and quickly sent her away.
She didn’t expect her own foolish husband to secretly settle her in Shangjing.
What, did he think she couldn’t wield a horsewhip anymore!
The butler quickly came to report the results.
Rong Zhi was very satisfied.
Drinking tea, Chancellor Rong missed his daughter.
If Wanwan were home, listening to the commotion next door, she would surely have gone with Keke to witness the gossip firsthand.
And at this moment, a certain little Qilin who had left with another Daddy was not much calmer.
She was also gossiping at the scene.
It started because Daddy was discussing matters with some stewards. Qin Wanwan, finding it boring, took Keke and, holding the little fox, went out of the private room to wander.
Then she saw a woman standing at the doorway of another private room, looking lost and tearful.
She was accompanied by a maid, whose expression was full of indignation.
Inside the private room, several men were talking loudly.
“Ning, are you really planning to marry that woman, Su Wanrong? What about your cousin then?”
A deep male voice came through, “Su Wanrong is soft-tempered and easy to control. Most importantly, she’s devoted to me. After she enters the house, I’ll elevate Yuqing to the position of co-wife.”
“Oh? Can Su Wanrong agree to that?”
“Hahaha… What are you saying? At home, how can women be in charge? A wife must obey her husband. Does her refusal matter?”
The man’s voice sounded again, “I’ve already given her the position of main wife, so I can’t continue to wrong Yuqing. If it weren’t for the fact that my family doesn’t allow me to marry my cousin, I wouldn’t compromise and marry her.”
Qin Wanwan looked at the inside of the private room, then at the woman at the door whose expression was as if the sky had fallen.
Understood, this was the kind of abusive story Keke told her!
Qin Wanwan tugged at the woman’s hand.
“Sister, is your name Su Wanrong?”
Su Wanrong’s gaze was dazed as she looked down, tears pouring down.
She looked at Qin Wanwan and nodded.
“Then why aren’t you going in?”
Su Wanrong clenched her fist.
She had originally come to find her fiancé. She liked him and had bravely and cautiously pursued him for a long time. He had finally agreed to marry her, and she thought it was her persistence and enthusiasm that had moved him.
She hadn’t expected to unintentionally hear his true thoughts here.
Qin Wanwan had heard similar plots from Keke, but the setting was not in this era, but in a time called the modern era.
The female protagonist unintentionally overheard heart-wrenching words, then sadly left silently, followed by inner struggles and conflicts… there seemed to be other plot points like him escaping and her chasing, sadness and regret, and so on.
Hmm… I wonder if it’s this.
A little head full of big questions, why would she leave secretly?
It was so complicated, so complicated, the little Qilin’s horns were getting tangled.
Su Wanrong didn’t want to go in, partly because she was truly sad.
“What’s the use of going in? It’s just for them to laugh at me, and to look down on me even more.”
She didn’t know if she was saying this to Qin Wanwan or to herself.
Qin Wanwan’s expression was bewildered: “Ah? They are the ones who are wrong, aren’t they the ones who should lose face?”
Keke agreed wholeheartedly.
“Exactly, exactly. Think about them gossiping about you behind your back, and then the person being gossiped about suddenly appears and overhears everything. Who is more embarrassed?”
Although she didn’t know what “gossiping” meant, Su Wanrong guessed based on the context.
Keke and Qin Wanwan both encouraged her: “Go in, go in, slap their faces, use your mouth to scold them! You are a proper young lady, not some cheap person, why should they trample on you like this!”
Her mood, already angry and wronged by the conversation inside, was now filled with infinite courage after Qin Wanwan and Keke’s words. She directly pushed open the half-closed door.
The people inside were all panicked when they saw the woman appear at the door.
Someone’s wine glass fell to the ground.
Qin Wanwan poked out a fluffy little head: (,,?ω?,,) Eating melon
Let her see what that scumbag looks like.
“You… why are you here?”
Su Wanrong looked at Ning Hao’s flustered expression and immediately felt that the little girl and the bird had said it right.
Wait, the bird said?
Never mind for now.
These people were talking about her, so why should she be the one to feel embarrassed?
“So, am I your second-best choice?”
Ning Hao calmed down after a moment of panic.
“Since you’ve already heard, I’ll tell you directly. I love my cousin, but my parents won’t allow me to marry her. I’m marrying you just to complete the task they assigned.”
Su Wanrong cried and laughed: “Am I some cheap person? Why are you trampling and insulting me like this? You love your cousin, so why must you sacrifice my marriage and my happiness!”
Ning Hao frowned: “Don’t you always like me? I’ve already given you the position of main wife, what else are you dissatisfied with?”
He said impatiently, “Go back, don’t lose face here.”
Qin Wanwan was indignant. She sneaked into the room, and relying on her small size and no one paying attention, she grabbed a vase and gave it to Su Wanrong.
“Pretty sister, hit him! He’s colluding with his cousin, hit this scumbag villain!”
Keke couldn’t bear to watch: “That word is ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’.”
“And ‘colluding’ isn’t used here.”
Little Qilin Qin learned a few words from Shang Wuyang and became boastful, but she used the wrong words in a mess.
Qin Wanwan’s little eyes were innocent.
Ning Hao’s face turned black. Where did this little brat come from!
Su Wanrong actually took the vase and raised it.
Ning Hao and the people in the room couldn’t help but retreat.
“What, what are you doing?”
Su Wanrong looked at his appearance and only felt that she was blind. How could she have fallen for such a person?
“Since you love your cousin, then go live well with her. I’ll have my mother go to the Ning residence to break off the engagement!”
