The Cannon Fodder and Villain's Happy Ending

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.

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.

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.

“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.”

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.
