I have suffered enough in my previous life, my cousin will never marry me

Chapter 71 Qi Xiucai

Yuhua Town is only a hundred miles away from Gusu. Mu Qingqing was worried about her mother's safety and wanted to rush back to Zhang's house to tell her grandmother what happened in Lin'an.

"Sister Wan, you must be careful then."

Originally, she wanted her to seek help from her cousin when she encountered difficulties, but looking at the situation just now, Mu Qingqing already felt that she had a grudge against her cousin, but she didn't say it out loud.

As early as on the way, Ye Wanshu heard her mention that the Zhang family had relatives in the town, which was not far from here, so there was no need to worry about her safety.

"Then you should return to Gusu as soon as possible. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to come to Yuhua Town to find me."

Ye Wanshu gave some final instructions, and after they said goodbye, they watched Mu Qingqing leave.

Sitting back in the carriage, she looked at Qin Chulin's tired face and said with a smile, "Chulin, after Big Sister has seen A Yin, we will return home. Then you won't have to suffer the hardship of wandering around anymore."

"Following Big Sister, I don't feel any hardship no matter what I do."

Qin Chulin's clear, watery eyes flickered as he looked at her: "Big sister, has Sister Ayin also been bullied in the mansion like my aunt?"

"I don't think she would," Ye Wanshu said uncertainly.

After all, Ayin was married in a formal ceremony, and the scholar from the Qi family treated her very well at the beginning.

But people's hearts always change, just like the Gu brothers, who used to treat her very sincerely, but in the end they became strangers.

Tian Fu was asked to continue driving the carriage. When they arrived at Qi's house, exhausted, Chunhong went forward and knocked on the door for a long time before a servant came out.

When the servant heard that they were looking for the mistress of the mansion, his face immediately turned cold: "My young mistress has been ill recently and will not see any outside visitors."

"Our girl is not a stranger. The Ye and Chu families are old friends. Our girl is a close friend of your mistress."

Chunhong was about to argue with him, but the servant impatiently interrupted her: "I don't care who you are, I can't see you."

After he finished speaking, he closed the door with a bang.

Chunhong was startled and looked back at Ye Wanshu with a pout: "Miss, who are these people? How can they be so rude?"

Ye Wanshu was also a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Ayin was the mistress of the house after all. When a distant relative came to visit, a servant would not be so bold as to directly decline the visitor on her behalf.

Thinking back to the contents of the letter, Ye Wanshu suddenly had a bad feeling.

I'm afraid something really happened to Ayin.

She walked forward nervously and knocked on the gate herself.

Soon the servant came out again.

Seeing Ye Wanshu, the servant became even more furious: "Are you guys done yet? My young mistress said she won't see any guests. Are you deaf and can't hear me?"

"We've come a long way. If your young mistress is truly ill, I should visit her first to put my mind at ease." Ye Wanshu said patiently, "Please go inside and report this to her."

The servant said coldly, "This is what my young mistress meant. No one will be seen."

After saying that, he was about to close the door again.

Ye Wanshu's expression darkened as she yanked the door shut. "Is this your idea, or your young mistress's?"

"Hey, I told you you're unreasonable, right?" the servant said angrily, "Are you going to leave until I use force?"

"Miss," Xing Tao hurried forward and whispered in her ear, "This isn't the Chu family after all. We're new here, so we'd better be cautious."

Ye Wanshu naturally understood this truth, but she came all the way here just to see Chu Yin, and she clearly had a premonition that Chu Yin was in trouble, so she had to see her in person to feel at ease.

Ye Wanshu stared intently at the servant and said firmly, "Go tell your young mistress that I must see her today."

The servant's eyes were fierce, and he had no intention of reporting again.

Just as the situation in front of the door was at a stalemate, a sky-blue carriage slowly pulled up.

Seeing the person standing in front of the door, the owner of the carriage quickly got out and shouted at Ye Wanshu, "Miss Ye, why are you in Yuhua Town?" Ye Wanshu looked back and saw that the person was Chu Yin's husband Qi Yunsheng. His face was full of surprise, and he obviously didn't expect her to come so suddenly.

"Mr. Qi, you've returned just in time." Ye Wanshu bowed to him. "What's going on in your mansion? I've come all this way just to visit an old friend, but I've been so rudely turned away. Is this how you, the Qi family, treat guests?"

"Is this happening?"

Qi Yunsheng glared at the servant in dissatisfaction: "Are you blind? Do you know who this person is?"

After he finished speaking, he immediately turned to a smiling face and said, "Miss Ye, Ah Yin's temperament has changed a lot recently. She really doesn't like to see outsiders. It's not me who asked others to stop her. Please forgive me."

"What are you talking about, Mr. Qi?" Ye Wanshu felt something was wrong. "I didn't blame Mr. Qi, so why are you taking the blame on yourself? Are you afraid of punishing this servant?"

"Miss Ye, you're joking." Qi Yunsheng glanced at the servant meaningfully, "Why don't you go and tell the mistress to come out and meet the guests? It's not proper for her to stay in the yard all day."

"Yes." The servant responded and left.

Seeing the servant enter, Qi Yunsheng looked back at Ye Wanshu with a friendly expression: "Miss Ye, please come in. I'm sure Ah Yin will be happy to see you when she hears you're here."

Although he was smiling, the smile did not reach his eyes at all, which made people feel uncomfortable.

However, thinking of their past affection, Ye Wanshu was sure that Chu Yin would not hide from her, so she followed Qi Yunsheng inside.

After waiting in the guest hall for a while, I saw the servant leading Chu Yin out.

It had been two lifetimes since they last met, but seeing Chu Yin again, Ye Wanshu couldn't hide her excitement. She stood up and called out, "A Yin."

I thought she would be as happy as I am, but Chu Yin just glanced at her coldly, then sat down on the chair with an expressionless face.

"What do you want from me?"

Her voice was cold and distant, not at all like the lively and amiable eldest daughter of the Chu family.

Ye Wanshu, Chunhong and Xingtao were all a little surprised by this reaction.

"Ayin, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Ye Wanshu glanced at Qi Yunsheng who was listening silently beside her, and did not dare to tell him directly that she had written the letter.

"What are you talking about? Are you really hoping for the worst for me?" Chu Yin's eyes were filled with anger as she coldly rebuked him, then said, "If you have nothing else to do, please leave early."

After leaving behind these chilling words, he prepared to get up and go back.

"Ayin, what happened to you?"

Ye Wanshu always felt that she was like a different person. Even if they hadn't seen each other for several years, she wouldn't treat her like this.

After secretly sizing up Qi Yunsheng, she stepped forward, grabbed Chu Yin, and asked directly, "What difficulties have you encountered? Tell me, and I will do my best to help you."

Chu Yin ruthlessly pushed her away: "What do you mean? Do you think that now that you've married into the Duke's Mansion, you can boss me around and be so high and mighty that you can pity me?"

"I"

Ye Wanshu originally wanted to tell her that she had broken off the engagement with the Gu brothers, but seeing her attitude, it was obviously unnecessary.

"Don't come to me again." Chu Yin said the last sentence and left.

Looking at Ye Wanshu's dull eyes, Qi Yunsheng smiled apologetically and said, "Miss Ye, I told you Ah Yin has been a bit irritable lately. You shouldn't have come to see her at this time."

Ye Wanshu was full of doubts at this moment and didn't want to bother with Qi Yunsheng anymore.

Fortunately, Chu Yin was still alive. Since she didn't want to see her, she didn't want to stay any longer. She took Chunhong, Xingtao and Qin Chulin out of the living room. Qi Yunsheng kept smiling and personally saw them off.

Hearing the footsteps behind her gradually fading away, Chu Yin suddenly turned around, hoping that the familiar figure would disappear, already crying with tears streaming down her face.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."
