Marrying into a poor family

Li Siniang stood up and said respectfully to Qin Xiang: "Please give me your instructions, madam!"

Qin Xiang pointed to the edge of the Kang: "Sit down and say it, you and I don't need to be so polite."

"Yes!" Li Siniang sat back again.

"I want to completely remove Qin Yan from the Xie family, but there are not many ways yet. Even if I threaten the eldest son of the Xie family by selling his official position, I can only get some small conditions."

Li Siniang raised her eyebrows and subconsciously moved her fingers on her knees.

"I want you to go to Xie's house to serve Qin Yan for a while. When she leaves Xie's house, you can come back. Are you willing?"

Li Siniang lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head and asked Qin Xiang: "Madam, when do you plan to take my concubine out?"

Qin Xiang blinked, thought about it carefully, and said uncertainly: "If it's quick, it will take one or two months. If it's slow, she will come out before the end of this year."

"Slave, can I ask why my wife cares so much about my concubine alone?"

In Li Siniang's heart, Qin Yan was not so kind that anyone would take the initiative to help, especially since Qin Yan had never asked his wife for help.

Qin Xi smiled: "I am afraid that the Xie family will be unlucky, and I will be implicated because Qin Yan is my blood relative. Can this reason convince you?"

Li Siniang also smiled: "Madam, even if she doesn't give any reason, Siniang will still do what she asks."

However, after asking about the details, Li Siniang could deal with things better according to circumstances.

"You go back and explain the affairs at home, and I will take you to Xie's house tomorrow!" Qin Xiang didn't like procrastination in doing things, and she wanted to resolve Qin Yan's matter as soon as possible.

After all, she still had too many things to deal with.

Qin Xiang took Li Siniang and a group of maids and servants to Xie's house. This time, they were not stopped and went directly into Qin Yan's yard.

Qin Yan's yard has undergone some changes. There are more not-so-expensive ornaments and decorations, and the windows have also replaced heavy window paper with light and breathable screens.

The charcoal in the room was also burning, and upon entering the room, there was a warmth and aroma lingering on the tip of the nose. It was the fragrant charcoal provided by Qin Xiang.

Qin Yan put down the needle and thread in her hand, stood up and walked over to greet Qin Xiang who came in.

Qing Gu and Qing Qian helped Qin Xi take off her cloak and hood, and took her self-consciousness to the next room. The others followed, except for Li Siniang and Qin Yan's maid Xiao Cai.

Xiaocai diligently made tea and served it to Qin Xiang. She smiled sweetly at Qin Xiang and said that this was good tea specially brewed for Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang picked it up very proudly, first she stopped at the tip of her nose and smelled the tea, then she took a sip of the tea soup and looked at Xiao Cai with satisfaction: "Yes, the tea making skills are quite good. , I just lack a girl who knows how to make tea."

Qin Yan glanced at Xiaocai, whose eyes were shining, and secretly cursed her for being so embarrassing.

Xiao Cai felt Qin Yan's gaze and looked over. She quickly stopped her flattering smile, took two steps back and stood behind Qin Yan, and her expression began to darken. Because she also knew that Qin Xiang could not take her out of this yard where she could not hope for the future.

Who knows, the next moment, Qin Xiang smiled and said to Qin Yan: "I see this girl is so happy, why don't you give her to me, sister Yan, can you bear it?"

Qin Yan was startled, and looked back at Xiaocai who was surprised and surprised. She felt a little unhappy, but she didn't want to give such a person to Qin Xiang and make it difficult for Qin Xiang, so she shook her head: "I'm used to her. My sister takes the person away, what should I do here?"

Qin Xiang seemed to be very casual. When she looked around, she saw that only Li Siniang was around, and she said jokingly: "I can't ask for your girl in vain. Here, I will give Siniang to you. She is careful in her work. Don't worry. It will definitely be no worse than Xiaocai's service." Li Siniang stepped forward, bowed to Qin Yan, and said, "Since the wife has given the slave to the concubine, then Siniang will be my concubine from now on, and I hope the concubine will take her in."

Not only Qin Yan was surprised, but Xiao Cai behind her also had her eyes widened and her mouth opened wide. She couldn't believe that she was about to leave the Xie family's back home.

She looked at Qin Yan expectantly, fearing that she would refuse, so she almost took a step forward and knelt down to beg Qin Yan.

Seeing Qin Yan's delay in responding, Xiao Cai regretted that she should not have been so disrespectful to Qin Yan in the past.

Qin Yan looked at Li Siniang's face and saw that she was calm. It was obvious that she was not given away by Qin Xiang on a temporary basis, nor was she unwilling at all.

So, Qin Yan turned her gaze to Qin Xiang, staring directly into Qin Xiang's eyes with a questioning look.

Qin Xiang's eyes remained unchanged, and the smile on her lips remained unchanged.

This was a determined smile. Qin Yan was finally sure that Qin Xiang came today just to send Li Siniang to take care of her and take away the unsatisfactory Xiaocai.

Qin Yan was inexplicably moved, her nose was slightly sour, her eyes were slightly red, and she choked under pressure. She calmly told Xiao Cai: "Xiao Cai, go take care of Miss Qinggu and the others. I have something to say with my concubine."

When Xiaocai heard that Qin Yan actually wanted to send her away, she quickly stretched out her hand to pull Qin Yan's sleeve: "Old lady, I..."

"You don't listen to what I say at all, do you? You are so disobedient and unruly, how can I let you go to my concubine's house and embarrass yourself?"

Qin Yan suddenly got angry and reprimanded Xiao Cai in front of Qin Xian and Li Siniang, which made Xiao Cai unable to get off the stage for a while. But after all, Qin Yan was the master. She was usually soft-tempered and would scold Xiao Cai herself, but once Qin Yan really got angry Xiaocai was also afraid of getting angry.

So, Xiaocai left with tears in her eyes.

Li Siniang also returned to stand behind Qin Xian, showing no signs of fluctuation in Xiao Cai's performance just now.

By the time Xiaocai left, Qin Yan's emotion had disappeared, leaving only deep exhaustion. She said to Qin Xiang: "Sister Xiang, I appreciate your kindness. It's better to let Sister Siniang go back. I know, Sister Siniang He must be a rare helper for Sister Xi, so why should she be trapped in this dark place?"

Qin Xian said: "It is because she is well-rounded, very measured in doing things, very smart, and knows how to survive in the backyard of this high-end mansion, that I specially sent her to you to control. If it were anyone else, I would not be like this. It took a lot of effort to send it to the Xie family."

Qin Yan was a little confused and asked in confusion: "Sister Xi, what does this mean?"

"Nothing else, I just want to tell you that Li Siniang is the best candidate."

Qin Xi smiled faintly, she was not going to tell Qin Yan her plan. Because she didn't understand Qin Yan's personality, it would be bad if she couldn't hold back and showed up.

Li Siniang stood aside calmly. When she saw Qin Yan's relaxed expression, she walked to Qin Yan, knelt down and kowtowed, which was regarded as recognizing her master.

Qin Yan was touched again. She stood up and helped Li Siniang up in person. She then patted the back of Li Siniang's hand and said, "I'm suffering here. If you don't want to"

"Madam, don't think too much, I am willing." Li Siniang's voice was gentle but very calm, which invisibly gave Qin Yan some strength.

"Sister Xi, Xiaocai's rules are not very good. Are you sure you want her?"

"Of course it's for sure. After this person comes back with me, I will make her learn to behave."

I don't know why, Qin Xiang's words were said calmly, but it made Qin Yan feel something bad. When she looked at Qin Xiang's face carefully, she couldn't see any clues, so Qin Yan only thought that she was being careless. .
