They will only be loyal to the Qin family and will never be loyal to themselves.
Because their personal bonds were in Qin's hands.
If you want to gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion, you must have your own talents.
It is not feasible to buy new people directly from the market. At present, I do not have such right.
In the plot, the eldest son became a sickly child after he was five years old, and was sick all the time afterwards. It must be that someone was giving him medicine all the time.
So, who is the person who drugged me
Qin would never do it herself, but would hand the matter over to someone else to handle in secret.
The most likely scenario is that someone in the eldest master's room was bribed by her and put some drugs in his room from time to time.
"The person who used to serve the eldest master personally, is he back now?" Bai Chen asked casually as he walked.
"To reply to the eldest young lady, there were two people who served the eldest young master personally in the past, one was called Hua Lian and the other was called Hua He.
After the eldest son left, they left the mansion.
I heard that Madam found good families for them and they are already married.” Qinlan explained the details again.
Bai Chen understood, maybe they were the servants bribed by Qin!
Generally speaking, a personal maid of a nobleman may become his future concubine.
They are the ones who should be most loyal to their master, but these two maids have become Qin's running dogs.
No wonder the eldest son was poisoned again and again, and it was successful every time!
It turns out that the personal maid was the spy.
This means that the life and death of the eldest son are completely in Qin's hands.
So, among the remaining maids who used to serve the eldest master, are there any who have been bribed
"After their husband left, where were Huazhi and Huamei sent?" Bai Chen slowed down his pace and walked slowly.
"I don't know about them." Qinshu shook her head.
"It seems that Huazhi was transferred to the Second Young Master's place for a few days, but I heard that everyone in the Second Young Master's courtyard bullied her, and it seems that she was even beaten." Qinlan added.
"Oh, I see. Then what about painting plum blossoms?"
"She was sent to Aunt Jiang's place for a few days.
Aunt Jiang is a kind person, and she is especially good to the servants."
"Oh! Aunt Jiang is the one who once had a daughter?"
"That's right. It's a pity for the second young lady, such a beautiful girl, but she fell into the lake and died ten days later." Qin Lan looked very regretful when she said this.
The second young lady of the Qi family, Ji Jiuyue heard about it from the eldest son when she became a ghost.
However, the eldest son only said that his second sister died early and nothing else.
Could it be that the second young lady's death was not simple, and it was another secret case in the back house
How could he fall into the lake for no reason
Qinshu remained silent and looked unhappy.
Although there should be no conflicts between the eldest young lady and the lady at present, she instinctively felt that there were some things that should not be said all at once to the eldest young lady.
Qinshu glanced at Qinlan, who had a strong desire to show off, and planned to teach her a lesson in private.
Before they knew it, they had already arrived at the gate of the main courtyard. Bai Chen waved to Qin Lan and Qin Shu, "You just wait here."
"Yes, Madam." The two maids stood at the gate of the courtyard very obediently.
The main hall of the main courtyard was particularly lively today, and all members of the Qi family were present.
After Bai Chen entered the room, he politely greeted Lord Qi and Qin, then sat down at the bottom, lowering his head slightly, as if he didn't even glance at the people in the room.
But in fact, she went through everyone's appearance.
What was rare was that the two concubines with the least presence in the Qi family were also present. They sat next to each other in a corner at the bottom and seemed to have a very good relationship.
When Bai Chen arrived, they looked at her several times before lowering their heads.
These two concubines must have been beauties when they were young. Although they have many wrinkles on their faces now, they are still beautiful.
Among them, Jiang looked a little old, with half white hair and a haggard face, but her facial features were still beautiful.
She was the only woman who had a taste of the soup after Qin got married.
She was lucky and won the prize at once, and later gave birth to a daughter.
Unfortunately, her daughter died at the age of ten.
The two young masters of the Qi family sat on the side. They were both handsome and had the same facial features as Qin, and were more handsome than their father.
However, when they saw Bai Chen coming in, they had no expression at all and just glanced at him indifferently.
There was no intention of saying hello.
Qi Zhuyu sat next to her mother, with no expression on her face and her eyes straight ahead. She didn't even glance at her sister-in-law who came in.
Qin and Lord Qi sat in the main seats. When they saw Bai Chen, they nodded slightly.
These are all the family members of the Marquis’ Mansion, which is much simpler than the family structure of many dignitaries.
See everyone is here.
Qin then coughed twice and looked at Bai Chen with a very gentle, loving, and concerned look, "Daughter-in-law, are you used to living here these past two days?"
"Very good." Bai Chen looked at Qin gratefully and said with a smile: "My husband has been accompanying his daughter-in-law all the time!
Thank you for your concern, mother-in-law."
Qin couldn't help but roll her eyes. Is it really okay to always talk about your man
And he's been with her all the time
It gives one goosebumps.
The gods in heaven are amazing!
The second and third sons, who didn't understand what was going on, glanced at Bai Chen as if she was a lunatic, feeling that this country woman was talking nonsense.
Or maybe everyone in the whole room, except Lord Qi and Qin, thought Bai Chen was talking nonsense.
"Brother has already gone, don't say such things in the future." The second young master sneered, "It's a good thing you entered our Qi family.
If you had gone into another place, you would have been dead in your situation.
Don't start a dyeing factory just because you give me some color!"
She's just a country girl, why keep her around? My eldest brother is dead, why not just take her with him to be buried with him? Why let her hang around in the mansion
It's just such an eyesore.
Anyway, the second young master could never understand their parents' thoughts, and he actually spoke nicely to such a woman.
In fact, he was aware of Qin's harm to his elder brother, but he didn't think his mother was wrong at all.
Because, once his eldest brother died, he would be the one to inherit the title.
Therefore, he has always been hostile to his eldest brother.
Verbal sarcasm is secondary. Sometimes we will play tricks on him and make his illness worse.
For example, he would have the servants 'accidentally' pour some cold water on the eldest brother in the middle of winter, or put some laxatives in his medicine.
My eldest brother takes medicine every day, so if we want to punish him, there is a great chance.
So now, when he heard his elder sister-in-law, who was born in the countryside, actually said that his elder brother was still with her, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Hua'er!" Qin interrupted her son in time.
She really wanted to say, your elder brother is watching you in heaven now, don’t be disrespectful to your elder sister-in-law, otherwise you might be punished by the gods.
But she didn't say such words in the end. Instead, she coughed twice and said, "You guys haven't met your sister-in-law yet."
The three legitimate sons and daughters of the Qi family were stunned and looked back and forth at their parents in confusion.
Lord Qi then said calmly: "Although your eldest brother is gone, his spirit in heaven will surely bless the Qi family with peace and prosperity, and the health of the whole family.
