The woman bowed and replied, "My name is Nian Qi!"
Qin Wan stood up and nodded slightly to Nian Qi, "I will be grateful for your care from now on, Miss Nian Qi!"
"From now on, I am Miss Qin's man. Please speak freely if you have any orders!"
Xiao Jingyan was happy because Qin Wan had accepted his arrangement. In fact, even without today's meeting between Xiao Jingyu and Qin Wan, he had already made the arrangements.
He didn't want to see Qin Wan in danger; at the very least, Nian Qi could protect her temporarily while he came to her rescue.
Qin Wan glanced at Nian Qi again. This was someone Xiao Jingyan had arranged to be by her side. If it were before, she would have been happy, but since her rebirth, she had come to understand a lot.
Everyone except herself will change their hearts, including those who once loved her deeply.
Therefore, she understood that Xiao Jingyan's kindness towards her was based solely on the arranged marriage. Without this relationship, the two of them would be like strangers.
Qin Wan accepted Xiao Jingyan only to use him to escape the Marquis's mansion. When the time is right, she will leave him.
So she didn't want him to be so good to her.
However, the harm she is currently suffering is due to the lack of protection around her, and Nianqi's appearance came at just the right time.
Qin Wan was conflicted for a moment, but she had already agreed.
"Your Highness, these are the storybooks I've found. Please pass them on to Master Qiao!" Qin Wan stopped thinking about anything else. Since she was already there, she might as well make the best of it and focus on the present.
After saying that, Qin Wan placed the storybook in front of the two of them on the table.
Master Qiao said that one book would be sent each time, but Qin Wan would always find three books and have Xiao Jingyan send them over, as a way of thanking him for the medicinal herbs.
Otherwise, Grandmother's health wouldn't have improved so quickly.
Xiao Jingyan moved the storybook in front of him and then refilled the teacup in front of Qin Wan.
"Wan'er, the weather is getting warmer now, when are you free? Let's go boating together!"
Qin Wan paused and remained silent. She didn't have much to do each day, but now she wanted to make more money so that she could live a better life after she left.
However, she had no connections, which was what troubled her.
She initially wanted to refuse outright, but after thinking about it, she realized that although no one was spreading rumors about her and Xiao Jingyu, people still believed that she harbored feelings for him.
She was utterly disgusted with Xiao Jingyu because of what had happened recently, and she didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, not even the slightest bit.
She wanted everyone to know that her heart now belonged to Xiao Jingyan.
He replied, "The day after tomorrow!"
Xiao Jingyan was overjoyed; his emotions were always written on his face, even his smile was so bright and infectious.
"Alright, then it'll be the day after tomorrow. I'll pick you up at the Marquis's residence the day after tomorrow!"
"it is good!"
......
Qin Wan returned to the manor, and Nian Qi, now Qin Wan's person, naturally came back with her.
She didn't know Nianqi well, so on the way back she asked a lot of questions and learned a little about Nianqi's situation, including her background and skills.
However, she was not one of his own people after all, and Qin Wan still had some reservations about her.
"Fourth Sister!"
Qin Wan, with Nian Qi and Wan Shuang, was walking towards Wanyue Courtyard when they bumped into Su Yan'er.
"Fourth Sister, I went to your courtyard to look for you just now, but the maid told me you had gone out. I thought I wouldn't see you today, but it's such a coincidence!" Su Yan'er smiled and stepped forward, lifting her skirt and running a few steps, her movements light and graceful.
Qin Wan didn't show much expression; she simply stood there watching Su Yan'er approach.
"Fourth sister, where did you go? Who is this?" Su Yan'er looked at Nian Qi behind Qin Wan.
Qin Wan remained silent, but Nian Qi spoke up.
"I am the young lady's newly recruited maid, here to protect her!"
Su Yan'er looked her up and down, as if she understood, "Fourth Sister was indeed in danger when she was kidnapped that night. She should find someone to protect her!"
Nianqi glanced at Qin Wan and saw impatience in her eyes. She instantly understood that her mistress probably didn't like this woman, so she spoke again.
"Miss, you must be tired after a long day. If you have something to say, then say it. If not, then move aside!"
Su Yan'er stood there, stunned, wondering if she was hallucinating. How dare a maid speak to her like that? Although she wasn't the real young lady of the Marquis's mansion, she was still considered an adopted daughter and practically a mistress.
Moreover, she was about to marry her second brother, becoming the future young mistress of the Marquis's mansion. Even Qin Wan would have to treat her with utmost respect. How could a mere maid dare to...?
However, Su Yan'er was always gentle and considerate. She was taken aback by Nian Qi's disrespect at first, and then said aggrievedly.
"Fourth Sister, Yan'er has come to see you because she has something to say, but this maid is too unruly. Maids bought from outside are ultimately not trained, and I'm afraid she will influence you!"
Su Yan'er frowned slightly, her eyes reddening. Nian Qi had only said one sentence, but it almost brought her to tears.
Now Nianqi understands why her mistress is annoyed with her.
Nianqi curled her lip and said disdainfully, "I am a maid who has not been trained, but you are from the Marquis's mansion and should have good manners. So why are you stopping the young lady from resting? I really don't know if you are doing this to make a fuss or on purpose!"
Su Yan'er was completely stunned. She thought that Nian Qi would say one sentence, but she said another, which left her speechless.
Qin Wan hadn't expected Nian Qi to be so eloquent, and to be so fearless of authority, giving off a "you can kill me if you disagree" vibe.
Wan Shuang, standing behind her, was also surprised. She hadn't expected the person the Fifth Prince had given her to be so powerful. She was no longer afraid that her young lady would be bullied.
At this point, Su Yan'er couldn't hold back her tears.
She said timidly, "Fourth sister, I didn't mean to stop you, I really have something to say!"
Qin Wan found Su Yan'er's crying annoying and asked, "What is it?"
Su Yan'er dared not look at Nian Qi again, probably because she was afraid of being scolded. However, she remembered it in her heart. Since she was a maid in the Marquis's mansion, someone would naturally teach her a lesson.
"I went to find my fourth sister to tell her that my eldest and second brothers had written to us. They said they had wiped out a group of bandits and were only one step away from attacking. Once they broke into the bandits' base, they would have completely eliminated the banditry and could come back then."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan didn't give any further reaction, because she no longer cared whether they succeeded or not, and she was no longer so concerned about their affairs.
Is there anything else?
Su Yan'er stood there stunned for a long time before shaking her head and saying, "No...nothing!"
She had intended to show off that her older brothers had sent her letters but not Qin Wan, hoping to make Qin Wan jealous. However, Qin Wan's reaction did not seem to meet her expectations.
Qin Wan seemed genuinely indifferent.
Watching Qin Wan's departing figure, Su Yan'er felt a surge of indescribable emotion, as if what she cherished was something others simply couldn't appreciate.
Su Yan'er stood there for a long time, unable to come back to her senses.
In addition, the humiliation Nianqi had just inflicted on her filled her with hatred.
That night.
Han Shu then approached Qin Wan because of Nian Qi's argument with Su Yan'er.
"Wan'er, I heard from Yan'er that you brought back a maid today. She was very rude. We are a Marquis's mansion. Not only should the masters pay attention to etiquette, but the maids should too."
“The maids you used before were all trained by me. You brought her back today without any training. How can she be left without being trained? Hand her over to me for a few days. Once I have trained her, I will arrange for her to be placed in your courtyard!”
