This is a normal human relationship, so Mu Qing politely thanked her.
Qin Shi presented all kinds of gifts to Mu Qing, they were nothing more than clothing materials, decorations, etc. They were not ordinary goods, but they might not be in Mu Qing's eyes.
There are also Lu Xiaoshu and Lu Jing'an, Lu Jing'an is a gold collar with Ruyi head inlaid with jewels, and Lu Xiaoshu is a pair of high-quality white jade bracelets.
The siblings took the gift and thanked each other with a smile.
Lu Jing'an then left, Lu Xiaoshu expected that the Qin family would not give gifts in vain, there must be something wrong, so he sat down and waited.
Sure enough, Qin Shi said a few words on the scene, changed the subject, coughed, and started talking about her rich cousin, Master Tian. The little girl collided...
"It's a trivial matter, but my cousin hasn't come to the house for so many years. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen when I came here. I always feel sorry for it, and it seems that our Lu family has no rules. Do you think it's sister-in-law? So, I just wanted to find that little girl and give him a present to apologize, and also let people know that our Lu Mansion is a place where rules are respected and people are ranked high and low! But who knows, after looking around, I searched everywhere but couldn't find out who that girl is, except—hehe, except sister-in-law, Jing Mingtang!"
Lu Xiaoshu unconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Shi, and sneered in his heart: Sure enough, money can make ghosts turn the clock, this Mr. Tian is really rich and powerful, so he moved quickly! For his own selfishness, Second Aunt would do such a shameless thing! Hehe, I know, it really looks like a high-sounding thing, and those who know the details, don't know how to despise it. It's a good excuse, Mr. Tian doesn't know why he looks down on the Lu family! It was bought by a few stinky money!
Mu Qing froze for a moment, then hesitated for a moment and said: "Then what the second sibling means—"
Qin's eyes lit up, and she didn't notice the slight unhappiness hidden under Mu Qing's quiet and soft expression, she hurriedly smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just want to ask sister-in-law to gather all the maids in Jingmingtang, I'll look for them Is there that girl!"
"Second brother and sister, what do you mean by this!" Not only did Mu Qing's expression suddenly change, but the maids and women who were serving at the side, such as Huamao, Qiqiao, and Qiu'er, also secretly showed some expressions of disbelief.
It was just a little girl who accidentally bumped into it. She didn't seek money or kill her, nor did she suffer any injuries or losses. It's a smaller thing than being accidentally scratched by a cat or a dog. It's worth it. Are you making such a fuss
If you want to express your apologies, the host will politely smile and apologize, what else is there to say, do you have to go to great lengths to find this little girl? What's more, it's fine for her to fawn on herself, but she actually found Jing Mingtang!
If this matter gets out, what will the Hou Fu's face be? A dignified Marquis Mansion, does it depend on the face of a businessman
"Hehe!" Mu Qing smiled softly, and asked, "Then how do you plan to find the second sibling?"
Only when Mu Qing agreed, Qin said with a smile: "At that time, my cousin's servants were also there, and they met that girl face to face. As long as my sister-in-law gathers everyone together, I will bring him in and take a look. !" As he spoke, he smiled consciously and considerately: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, it won't take too much time, just take a look!"
Mu Qing then asked: "What did that little girl do? Did she steal Master Tian's important things, or did she hurt Master Tian?"
"That's not true!" Qin said: "It's just a little rude and bumped into each other. If that's the case, then it's okay!"
Mu Qing's complexion became a little ugly, and she said lightly: "Since there is no such thing, it's not a big deal, right? What do the little girls know? It must have been unintentional, maybe, the second brother and sister don't think it's a bit of a fuss? If Mr. Tian wants to be serious, our family will prepare a gift to say sorry to him, with such a big battle, don’t the second siblings think it’s a bit too much?”
The smile on Qin's face froze, and she managed to maintain that smile: "Sister-in-law means—"
"You also know that the girls here seldom go out, and no one went to the garden today, so it's unnecessary to check!" Mu Qing glanced at Qin Shi lightly, and continued before she could speak: "Not only I don't need it here, I don't need it in the whole mansion, let's stop here! I think Mr. Tian is also a sensible person, he wouldn't be so arrogant for a little girl, right?"
Qin was a little uncomfortable, "Although that's the case, our family was rude in the end, and spreading the word would hurt the reputation of the Hou family! I did this for the good of the family!"
"Second aunt is really careful and considerate in doing things!" Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help laughing and said, "What reputation will this hinder the Hou Mansion? Let me think about it, oh, could it be the reputation of not knowing how to curry favor with merchants? This kind of reputation, don't Forget it!"
"Xiao Shu!" Qin's face suddenly became tense, and a little gloom flashed across his face: "What are you talking about!"
"Am I wrong, Second Aunt?" Lu Xiaoshu said innocently, "For a little girl, the 'collision' that I can't even explain the details is so big that the whole family is turned on their backs. The city soldiers and Ma Si searched for criminals all over the city. Isn’t this flattery? It’s just that the second aunt seems to have made a mistake. Is it necessary for our Hou Mansion to do this! This is a shame!”
"Sister-in-law!" After hearing this, Qin couldn't help but simply ignored Lu Xiaoshu's words, stood up and sneered at Mu Qing, "Sister-in-law is Mrs. Hou, she has a distinguished status, so naturally she doesn't take our little relatives seriously! Hmph , I'm just saying that, if my sister-in-law is not willing to give a hearty word directly, I will definitely not dare to say anything, why bother to be so sarcastic!"
"Why are the second younger siblings so arrogant?" Mu Qing said with a smile, "If the child's mouth is not blocked, what is the second younger sibling really doing? But although Xiao Shu's words are not very nice, it is exactly the same reason! People like us, There's really no point in doing that!"
"Mother, I don't think Second Aunt did it on purpose. After all, the Hou Mansion has just been reinstated for a short time, and Second Aunt is not used to the rules of the Hou Family—"
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help but interrupted with a smile again, just halfway through her words, the Qin family immediately became vigilant, and interrupted somewhat impatiently: "Since sister-in-law said so, then that girl must not belong to Jing Mingtang, but I take the liberty of interrupting, so farewell!"
"Wait!" Mu Qing suddenly said.
Qin's heart twitched, feeling like her heart was jumping with fear, she forced a smile and asked, "Is there anything else you can do, sister-in-law?"
Mu Qing turned her head and gave instructions to Nanny Hua, and Nanny Hua took the order.
Only then did Mu Qing say to the Qin family: "Speaking of it, you don't get rewarded for nothing. Mr. Tian is a relative of the second younger sibling. The second younger sibling only needs to greet each other well, but it has nothing to do with our eldest family! If you dare, please ask the second younger sibling to take it back! The second younger sibling sit down for a while, and I have already asked Mother Hua to go to An'er to get the inlaid necklace!"
Lu Xiaoshu heard it, and consciously pouted at Du Juan, Du Juan took up the brocade box containing the white jade bracelet and put it on the table.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing!" Although Qin was annoyed, she still smiled and said, "This is another thing, isn't sister-in-law intentionally hitting me in the face like this! How can I return the gift I gave you?" The reason for taking it back? We are a family. My relatives are the relatives of the Lu family, and naturally they are also the relatives of the eldest brother and sister-in-law. My cousin said that I will come to visit my eldest brother later! Don’t say anything about whether you dare to be a sister-in-law. , I’m ashamed to death!”
Qin sneered in her heart, thinking whether she should love her or not, it would be fine if she didn't! It's just that she can't take charge of this matter, so she can only say so.
Seeing that she said so, Mu Qing insisted on going back, so she asked Mother Hua to prepare a decent gift in return! Then he reluctantly nodded and smiled and said: "Since that's the case, thank you very much, the second brother and sister will thank Master Tian for me!"
"Definitely! Definitely! Sister-in-law, you are too polite!" Qin smirked.
"The matter of finding someone, let's just let it go!" Mu Qing blinked her eyes lightly, staring at Qin Shi and said, "What do you think?"
"I was confused before!" Qin said with a quick smile: "Xiao Shu's words were rough and reasonable, this matter is a bit inappropriate, I'll just say a few nice words to my cousin later and just keep it company! "
Mu Qing just smiled.
Qin said goodbye and left.
"Second Aunt," Lu Xiaoshu suddenly became playful, couldn't help calling Qin Shi again, and said curiously and innocently: "Master Tian has such a big force to find this little girl, there will be no one among them. What other hidden secrets!"
The hearts of Qin Shi and Mu Qing jumped at the same time.
Mu Qing looked at Qin Shi suspiciously, Qin Shi forcefully smiled and said: "Look at what you said, how can there be any hidden secrets in such an ordinary thing, you think too much!"
That's what she said, but Qin couldn't help but secretly wondered. In fact, she felt a little disapproving at first, but this rich cousin repeatedly hinted that she didn't want to offend this God of Wealth, so she did it! At this time, Lu Xiaoshu's words awakened the dreamer, and she couldn't help thinking secretly: Could it be that there is really something hidden!
Ouch this is not good! Qin's heart suddenly became a little flustered, and she couldn't tell what kind of feeling she was feeling. She only knows that there must be no hidden secrets, if any scandal happens, it will be her housekeeper's disadvantage, and it will be really—
"Oh, it's fine if you don't have one, I just say whatever I think of!" Lu Xiaoshu said with a smile.
Qin Shi didn't want to stay any longer, so she reluctantly said "hehe" twice, and left in a hurry.
Back at Jingfang Hall, Mr. Tian was waiting, and immediately looked at her earnestly: a very obvious questioning intention.
This made Qin even more restless.
After thinking for a while, Qin shunned the maids and women who were serving her, and simply cut to the chase and asked her doubts directly.
Although this cousin has nothing to do with her, she has heard from her natal family that she is a very shrewd master. This is what Qin is good at, she is very self-aware, knowing that it must be very difficult for her to set him up, but on the contrary It's better to ask directly.
