Chapter 115 - 117 The Eldest Miss Returns
Qin Liuxi hurried back to the Qin family just before the city gates closed, and the news of her return quickly spread throughout the entire Qin Family, from the eldest to the youngest, each with mixed feelings.
Old Mrs. Qin: Finally decided to come back.
Mrs. Wang: She’s finally back.
A few women from Mrs. Xie’s side: I need to settle accounts with her!
And Qin Mingchun: Where’s my calligraphy practice? Ahhh, still ghostly talismans, it’s all over!
Mrs. Wan: My son is too useless, should I pretend to be sick and not get up, to avoid being dragged down by him!
In Qin Liuxi’s courtyard, Qi Huang was busy checking her out from head to toe: "You’ve returned in one piece, but you’ve lost weight; I can feel your bones."
"Nonsense, when have I ever been fat?" Qin Liuxi laughed, "That Qi fellow, he’s the eldest grandson of Prince Ning Mansion, Prince Rui. This time the one I treated was Old Princess Consort Ning. They gave generous consultation fee, and also lots of gifts. Look, they even gave me a set of hairpins; take the pretty ones and wear them."
Qi Huang looked at the delicate box on the table and opened it to see a full set of ruby hairpins, masterfully crafted, and couldn’t help but sigh: "It’s really generous coming from the imperial family, very pretty."
