Gu Qinghan said lightly: "Me? Do you think I should be the puppet in your hands?"

"Why did Sanniang say such things?" Qi Ning sighed lightly: "You seem to have a deep misunderstanding of me."

Gu Qinghan said: "Didn't you just say that a puppet is a tool. It is taken out to tease when needed, and thrown aside when not needed?" The snow-white neck twisted over, and a hint of mocking on her beautiful face: "Isn't that true in your eyes?"

Qi Ning frowned. Although Gu Qinghan's voice was calm, Qi Ning clearly heard a hint of sadness from her tone. After a slight contemplation, she finally said: "If I really regarded you as a puppet, I would not have stepped into this yard today."

"I won't step into this yard?" Gu Qinghan smiled and said, "I also want to know, what did you step into this yard today? What do you mean by what you said?"

"Does Sanniang still hide it?" Qi Ning whispered: "You and I are both sick and sympathetic, and face the same difficulties. Could it be that Sanniang doesn't understand?"

"I really don't understand." Gu Qinghan said: "I don't know what you mean by sympathy, and I don't know what the problem you are talking about?"

Qi Ning smiled faintly and said, "Sanniang, since she doesn't want to say it, let me help you." After pausing, she asked softly: "Sanniang, as far as I know, Uncle San had already died in the battlefield seven or eight years ago. At that time, you were only in your early twenties and were in your old age. Even if you were in your old love and stayed in the Qi family for three or two years, even if you were full of kindness and righteousness, you could leave the Qi family and marry someone else."

Gu Qinghan didn't know why Qi Ning suddenly mentioned this matter, but she remained silent.

"But Sanniang not only did not leave, but also stayed for seven or eight years." Qi Ning sighed: "This is definitely not an easy thing for any woman."

Gu Qinghan said angrily: "According to your words, it is reasonable to have to leave the Hou Mansion and marry someone else. Is it unhappy to stay in the Hou Mansion?"

"Of course I wouldn't think so." Qi Ning immediately said: "The years you stayed in the Marquis' Mansion were exactly the most difficult time in the Marquis' Mansion. Qi's father was on the front line and led a 100,000 army. It was naturally powerful, but the Marquis' Mansion of Jinyi was a different scene. My mother was no longer in the mansion at that time, and Aunt Qiong was unable to bear the great marquis' mansion at all. To manage such a huge Marquis' mansion, it not only required extraordinary talents, but also had to be a member of the Qi family. After thinking about it, only Sanniang could take on this important task at that time."

Gu Qinghan snorted coldly and said nothing.

"But Sanniang knows better than anyone else. After the third uncle died in battle, although the Qi family handed over the complete collection of the Marquis' Mansion to you, it will not last long." Qi Ning sighed: "You and the third uncle have no descendants, which means that if you stay in the Marquis' Mansion for a long time, the longer the situation will be, and whether you inherit the marquis' position or Qi Yu, once you get married, you can only hand over the power in your hand, and in the end there is nothing."

Gu Qinghan bit her red lips and said, "Do you think I am greedy for this right?"

"It's not that Sanniang is greedy for this power, but that Sanniang cannot help herself." Qi Ning sighed: "Sanniang chose to stay there, of course because she was concerned about her old love, but did Sanniang have other reasons that forced you to stay in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Gu Qinghan's delicate body trembled, her flower face changed color, and her voice trembled slightly: "What did you say?"

Qi Ning was not sure at first, but at this moment, she knew that what she guessed would never be wrong. She approached and whispered: "Sanniang, is the too-madam forcing you to stay in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Gu Qinghan bit her teeth, and a strange look flashed in her eyes: "Why did the Madam force me? As long as I go to plead with Madam now, she will definitely agree to let me leave."

"It's really that way?" Qi Ning smiled, "Sanniang, I'm just worried that you don't have the courage to speak to Mrs. Xiang Tai."

Gu Qinghan felt her whole body soft, and one arm was placed on the dressing table, her eyelashes flashed, and her red lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.

"You know more than anyone else in your heart what method is the best way to force you to stay." Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said, "To this day, Sanniang still has no way to go, and she has no way to move forward and retreat. I wonder if what I said is right?"

"Me!" Gu Qinghan's pretty face looked a little pale. At this moment, she heard a sound from the yard. Qi Ning immediately whispered: "Get to bed!"

Gu Qinghan was stunned, but immediately realized something, and he moved quickly. He got up and hurried to the bed. When Qi Ning saw Gu Qinghan lying down, he went out and saw that General Manager Han was already standing in front of the door with a lunch box, and said with a worried look on his face: "Mr. Marquis, how are the third lady? Do you want to invite the doctor over?"

"Sanniang is indeed lacking in qi and blood." Qi Ning said: "Maybe it is caused by fatigue, and it will be better if you have more rest. I am urging her to find a doctor to take a look, so it is better to prescribe a few doses of medicine to recover soon, but!" Shaking her head and taking the lunch box, "Master Han, you go and do it first, and I will persuade her that even if you don't invite the doctor, you will have to eat a few bites of porridge."

General Manager Han hurriedly said, "Marty, why don't the old slave wait outside? If the third wife wants to invite the doctor, the old slave will go and invite him immediately."

"Sanniang is sick, and the matters in the mansion can only be handed over to you in the past two days." Qi Ning smiled and said, "You are busy with your affairs, so you don't have to delay here."

Manager Han thought for a while and said, "I'm going to take my leave first." He bowed and retreated.

When Qi Ning walked to the window, she saw General Manager Han leave. Then she walked over and put down the lunch box. When she walked to the window, Gu Qinghan had turned her head and asked softly, "Has he left?"

"Why is Sanniang worried about him?" Qi Ning sat down on the edge of the bed and asked softly: "He is just an old slave, and Sanniang seems to care about him very much."

"When did I worry about him?" Gu Qinghan said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Sanniang didn't understand what I mean." Qi Ning lowered her voice: "Sanniang heard me just now and immediately went to bed. It was obviously on guard. This is the Marquis' Mansion. If Sanniang didn't have any problems in her heart, why would she be so careful?"

"Me!" Gu Qinghan frowned, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Qi Ning shook her head, looked at Gu Qinghan's charming face, and felt a little tenderness in her heart, and said softly: "Does Sanniang worry that her behavior will always be monitored?"

Gu Qinghan closed her eyes and didn't speak.

"That's what I just said about the same illness and compassion." Qi Ning said slowly: "Although the Marquis' Mansion is not big, there are many ears and ears. The Grandma asked Sanniang to pay attention to my words and deeds. Behind you, there may not be no one monitoring your behavior. In the Grandma's eyes, you and I are probably just dolls that he can control."

Gu Qinghan turned her head, but her expression seemed very cold, and said sadly: "Do you already know?"

"If you want others to know, don't do it yourself." Qi Ning whispered: "I know some, and I don't know some."

Gu Qinghan sighed lightly and said, "Since you know, there is nothing to say." He looked at Qi Ning coldly and said, "Yes, I have been paying attention to your whereabouts. I have reported to the Madam truthfully for your words and deeds. Now you know how vicious my heart is, right?"

"Evil?" Qi Ning smiled and said, "If Sanniang was really vicious, she wouldn't have spoken for me in front of her."

Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "How did you know about it? Who told you?"

"Sanniang doesn't have to ask me why I know. I just want to ask Sanniang, may you still let that old woman control you?" Qi Ning clenched her fists: "She wants to be a chess player who controls the chess pieces, but now she can't help it."

Gu Qinghan's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but reach out to hold Qi Ning's wrist and said anxiously: "Ning'er, you can't do anything random. She just thinks that everything is wrong with you and has not had any bad thoughts to you. Don't do anything randomly." Her scruples were beyond words.

At this time, Qi Ning felt Gu Qinghan’s concern for him, and felt warm in her heart, and chuckled: “Don’t worry, Sanniang, I’m not the fool I used to be, I know the right measure.”

Gu Qinghan's expression was slightly relaxed. She lowered her head and saw that her hand was still holding Qi Ning's wrist, so she hurriedly let go.

"Sanniang, you said she has no bad intentions to me, so why do you still have to send you to monitor me?" Qi Ning asked in a low voice: "She can ignore your feelings and coerce you. Do you think she is still a good person?"

Gu Qinghan hesitated for a moment before saying, "She was just worried that you would do something unfavorable to Qi's family. If you were dedicated to protecting Qi's family, she would not do anything to you."

"Be wholeheartedly protecting Qijia?" Qi Ning chuckled and said, "Under her surveillance, as a tool in her hand to protect Qijia? Sanniang, let me tell you the truth, all my efforts will only be for myself and those who care about me, and I don't want to become a tool for those who have ulterior motives." He looked serious and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, is she sending you to monitor me because of my mother?"

Gu Qinghan's delicate body trembled again, her beautiful eyes were filled with a hint of fear, and she said anxiously: "Don't mention your mother, Ning'er, remember what I said, no matter where, don't mention your mother, once the lady knows, she!"

"What will happen to her?" Qi Ning grabbed Gu Qinghan's vigorous arm: "Sanniang, tell me where is Liu's mother now? What happened back then?" His eyes became sharper: "Why did Madam have such great resentment towards my mother?"

Gu Qinghan held the face in both hands and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know, I really don't know, Ning'er, I beg you, don't force me, I really don't know anything."

Her beautiful body trembled, and Qi Ning clearly felt the fear in her heart. She hugged Gu Qinghan suddenly. Gu Qinghan's whole body froze, but Qi Ning had already said softly in her ear: "Don't be afraid, with me, don't be afraid of anything, I won't force you, Sanniang, I promised to protect you well. A manly man will not count."—
