Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 433

Qin Cui and Yao Zhu'er sat in the carriage, and Sun Jifei followed them on foot outside.

Yao Zhuer is timid and doesn't dare to speak much. She got up early today and stayed up late discussing things with Xiao Chenyu last night, so she feels a little dizzy today.

So, after getting on the carriage, Qin Cui leaned against the wall and closed her eyes to rest in the swaying carriage.

Seeing that she seemed to be asleep, Qinggu smiled at Yao Zhuer. Yao Zhuer smiled back but was obviously a little timid.

"Don't worry, the lady is a good person, she won't make things difficult for you." Qinggu sat next to Yao Zhuer and whispered to comfort her.

Yao Zhuer didn't understand how good this good man was. When she thought about it carefully, it seemed that those who followed Qin Sui lived very comfortably.

Yes, it's freedom.

For example, Li Siniang had seen someone coming to the yard to ask something, and Li Siniang made the decision on her own without asking her wife.

For example, Sun Jifei, although he is just a guard, it seems that he has the final say within the scope of his duties.

Whether it is Qinggu in front of him or the other maids and servants, they are full of vitality in doing things every day.

She had not been in the Xie family for a long time, but she had seen how the eldest wife handled household chores. She was very decisive and had the final say on all matters.

Yao Zhuer raised her eyes slightly and carefully looked at Qin Sui who was resting with her eyes closed.

Qin Cui was very beautiful, but Yao Zhuer didn’t know why, she always felt that this person was difficult to approach, even a little scary, and she didn’t dare to look her in the eye.

But why do the people around Qin Sui live so comfortably?
Just as she was stunned, Qin Sui suddenly opened her eyes and happened to see Yao Zhuer looking at her.

Yao Zhuer's cheeks flushed instantly. She wanted to look away, but it seemed too hasty, and panic was written all over her eyes.

Qin Cui was a little amused and helpless. She didn't mean to scare this timid little girl.

"Are you afraid of me?" Qin Cui asked simply, getting to the point directly, which was also a way to ease the other party's embarrassment.

Yao Zhuer was stunned and blinked. She didn't know whether to nod or shake her head.

"If you listen to me and do good things, you don't have to be afraid of me." Qin Sui added.

"Oh, um, okay, I understand." After being stunned for a moment, Yao Zhuer finally realized and answered.

The brief conversation did help Yao Zhuer to ease her anxiety a little.

"Actually, I really want to know why I told Old Master Xie that I'm pregnant with Xie's child?"

It was understandable that Yao Zhuer was nervous as she was assigned this task for no apparent reason.

"Because I have other uses. You'd better not ask too many questions, it will be good for you." Qin Sui answered with a faint smile, but it was equivalent to saying nothing.

Yao Zhuer pursed her lips. When Qin Sui thought she would not speak again, she continued, "In fact, my status in the Xie family is very low. Moreover, even if he said that I had the Xie family's child, he would be beheaded. What else can the Xie family do?"

Qin Su looked at Yao Zhu'er, smiled slightly, meaningfully, and remained silent for a long time. Yao Zhu'er felt embarrassed again, and the courage she had just gathered also dissipated little by little under Qin Su's gaze.

Fortunately, the carriage stopped at this time, and Sun Jifei said outside: "Madam, we're here."

Qin Sui was wearing a veil to cover her face, followed by Yao Zhuer and Sun Jifei, while Qing Gu stayed in the carriage. The cell was extremely dark, and it was Old Zhao who led them inside.

Old Zhao was particularly grateful to Qin Su and his wife because of his daughter's dowry. His attitude at this time was much better than the previous time they met, and he was even a little flattering.

"Madam, it's a little dark here and the ground is damp. Please walk slowly and be careful of the slippery ground."

Qin Cui nodded: "Please lead the way!"

Because I had established connections beforehand, I had a smooth journey and arrived at Mr. Xie's solitary confinement cell smoothly.

There was someone guarding this place alone. When he saw them coming, he didn't ask any questions. He just greeted Old Zhao and took out the key to open the door.

Sun Jifei escorted the two women into the cell. There was a small hole on the high wall. A ray of sunlight shone in from the hole, which was the only source of light here, making the rest of the place even darker.

Old Master Xie sat alone on the floor in the corner, his back against the wall, staring blankly at the ray of light falling on the ground.

He never thought that he would end up like this. It would be better for him to die early and have a good end.

Being beheaded means that even the entire body cannot be preserved after death. This is the greatest punishment for Mr. Xie.

Hearing the voice, he did not move, until Qin Sui called out, "Mr. Xie, look who's here to see you."

He slowly turned his cloudy eyes, his gaze passed over a tall man, a slim veiled young woman, and finally stopped on another woman.

The woman was also wearing a veil, but when the old man looked over, she had taken it off, revealing a pretty face.

This is his new wife. Compared with the previous women, he is most satisfied with the one in front of him. She is obedient and well-behaved. No matter how he tortures her at night, she will not make any noise. She will also go out to see people the next day and never show a bad face to others.

But, logically, she should be in jail, so why is she here?
Judging from his clothes, although they were very simple, they were clean and tidy. He definitely did not look like someone who was being tortured in a cell.

The old man's dazed eyes gradually began to focus a little, but he remained silent.

At Qin Sui's signal, Yao Zhuer took a step forward, moved in front of Mr. Xie, squatted down, put the food box in her hand on the ground, opened the lid, and a delicious aroma wafted out, actually covering up the musty and smelly smell in the cell.

At this moment, Old Zhao brought in a low table from somewhere, followed by two men who were carrying two round stools and placed them behind Qin Sui and Yao Zhuer.

Qin Sui sat down, some distance away from Mr. Xie.

Yao Zhuer placed the dishes on the low table, took out a wine glass, poured some wine, and handed it to Mr. Xie.

"I heard that you and I are husband and wife after all, so I came to see you off!" Yao Zhuer's voice was a little choked, and she herself didn't know why?
"Why are you outside?" After drinking a glass of wine, Mr. Xie seemed to have regained some strength and finally asked.

"A sister I knew before rescued me. Now I live in her house, you don't have to worry about my safety."

The old man looked at Qin Cui who was sitting upright, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

"Is it her?" The trembling finger pointed at Qin Sui.

"Yeah." Yao Zhu'er didn't look back. She lowered her head, one hand slowly stroked her belly, and said, "I have something else to tell you."

The old man was staring at Qin Su, and Qin Su looked at him without fear. He did not look away and asked casually, "What's the matter?"
