Chapter 347 Qu Yin Knows the Truth
After Xiao Siyue returned home, she told Lin Qin about the matter.
Lin Qin shared the same thought.
"Mother, I've heard that some nannies can tell if a woman is still a virgin. Do you think we should just find a skilled nanny to examine Concubine Xu?" But that might not be accurate. What if Concubine Xu had already lost her virginity? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?
Lin Qin gave Xiao Siyue a hard knock on the head: "Where did you hear that, you shameless girl? Don't say it again."
Lin Qin was taken aback by Xiao Siyue's shocking words. Her own daughter had been obedient and sensible since she was a child, and she hadn't disciplined her much. She didn't know where she had learned such outrageous words.
It seems I need to hire a proper governess to teach him a lesson. He's already fourteen, and he'll be getting married soon. How can he still be talking such nonsense?
"Ouch, Mom, it hurts so much! Please be gentle!" Xiao Siyue cried out, rubbing her forehead.
"Serves you right! Who told you to talk nonsense? If you dare to say anything like that again, I'll teach you a lesson." Lin Qin threatened Xiao Siyue.
"Mom, I won't say it anymore. I'm only doing this for my older brother. I definitely won't tell anyone else." Xiao Siyue immediately begged for forgiveness, acting coquettishly.
"Don't worry about this. I'll talk to your grandma and aunt about it." Xiao Siyue was right; those experienced nannies could indeed tell the difference.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Mother with Big Brother's matter." Xiao Siyue smiled and clasped her hands in a fist salute to Lin Qin.
"Mischievous girl, Siqi is my own nephew, how can I not care?"
"Hehe, I knew Mom was the best."
"Alright, let's talk about your situation," Lin Qin said seriously.
"Me? What's wrong with me?" Xiao Siyue pointed at herself, looking puzzled.
"Your mother plans to have your father find a nanny in the palace to properly teach you manners. You're not young anymore."
"Ah! No way, Mother, I'm very well-behaved. You forgot, I learned the manners very well before, and you approved of them." Xiao Siyue immediately put on a proud face. She didn't want to be restrained by the nanny to learn manners anymore; she had absolutely no freedom.
"That's because I misjudged you. You still need to learn these rules properly. The ones I found before were all too ordinary. This time, I'll find one from the palace for you." With Xiao Qinian's current status, finding a nanny from the palace is naturally not a problem. Many young ladies from prominent families in the capital do the same.
"Mom~~~" Xiao Siyue tried to play the fool, but Lin Qin ignored her mercilessly.
Xiao Siyue sighed, thinking to herself: Big brother, I paid a heavy price for you this time. When your sister-in-law makes up with me, she'll have to thank me properly.
Lin Qin acted swiftly, not only finding a nanny for Xiao Siyue, but also receiving news from Aunt Xu.
Aunt Xu is still a virgin, which means that her relationship with Xiao Siqi is completely innocent.
Xiao Siqi's first reaction was happiness that he hadn't betrayed Qu Yin. His second reaction was that he had been incredibly stupid to be outmaneuvered, causing Qu Yin to suffer a serious illness for nothing.
Xiao Siyue also kept her promise and asked Qu Yin to intercede on Xiao Siqi's behalf.
"Sister-in-law, did you find out?"
"What?" Qu Yin is much better now and can get out of bed, but she has become much thinner.
Doesn't my sister-in-law know? She thought my aunt or grandmother had already told her.
“Sister-in-law, these past two days, Grandma and the others have investigated Aunt Xu and found that she is still a virgin, so my brother did not betray you.”
"What? A virgin?" Qu Yin was also very surprised, but she quickly regained her composure.
"What does that have to do with me?" She is a virgin now, but she has already been taken into the household, and sooner or later she will no longer be one.
Huh? Why this reaction? Doesn't your sister-in-law know why your brother took a concubine?
"Sister-in-law, don't you know why my brother wants to take Xu as a concubine?" Xiao Siyue asked tentatively.
"Why else? It's just that I'm fickle and easily bored," Qu Yin said self-deprecatingly.
Well, I really have no idea what's going on. It's been so long, and nobody's told me anything? It's infuriating! Don't they know misunderstandings can kill people?
Helpless, Xiao Siyue recounted what had happened to Qu Yin.
Qu Yin's expression softened slightly after hearing this, no longer looking as utterly hopeless as before, but her anger remained undiminished.
"Sister-in-law, my brother has always loved you. It's just that he's too foolish and too honest. He was tricked by the Xu siblings. Please don't be sad anymore."
"Hmph, someone so old can still be tricked, they're incredibly stupid." Qu Yin cursed angrily. She had been heartbroken for a while, only to find out in the end that it was all a misunderstanding.
“Yes, sister-in-law is right. Brother is really too naive. If it weren’t for your guidance, he would have been tricked to death. You must keep a close eye on him and teach him a lesson about the wickedness of human nature.” Xiao Siyue quickly chimed in.
Qu Yin, who had just been furious, burst out laughing when she heard Xiao Siyue say that.
"You silly girl, talking about your older brother like that. If he finds out, he'll teach you a lesson."
Xiao Siyue tilted her head back: "He wouldn't dare. Aren't I telling the truth? Besides, if my brother were to discipline me, my sister-in-law would definitely protect me, wouldn't she?"
"Yes, I will definitely protect Yue'er." Qu Yin smiled and tapped Xiao Siyue's forehead.
Xiao Siyue could clearly feel that Qu Yin's spirits had improved a lot, and she was secretly pleased.
"Sister-in-law, will you forgive my brother?" Xiao Siyue asked cautiously after seeing that Qu Yin was in better spirits.
Qu Yin snorted coldly: "Hmph, I won't forgive that idiot so easily. If he doesn't learn a lesson, what will he do if he gets tricked again next time?"
Xiao Siyue was relieved to hear this; it seemed that her brother and sister-in-law were going to forgive her, and it looked like they wouldn't be separated.
"Yes, sister-in-law, you can't forgive brother easily. Let him suffer for a while, otherwise he won't remember."
"Aren't you on your older brother's side?"
"Of course, I'm on my sister-in-law's side. This time it was all because my brother was too stupid that he made my sister-in-law sad. He deserves to be punished more. I think Grandpa's beating before was too lenient. I should tell Grandpa to give him another beating."
"Then forget it." Qu Yin was still a little reluctant. Although she hadn't seen Xiao Siqi's injuries, she had heard from her mother-in-law that he was still bedridden.
Seeing this, Xiao Siyue quickly grabbed Qu Yin's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, you're feeling sorry for me. I really envy my brother. He's so lucky to have such a wonderful wife like you."
