Chapter 497: Just Because of This?

Wang Jinhe raised an eyebrow, looking at Yuan Xu’s somewhat helpless expression. “Is it really just because of this that you’re finding something for her to do?” She couldn’t shake the feeling that it wouldn’t be long before their family would be celebrating.

Furrowing his brow, Yuan Xu looked somewhat puzzled. Wasn’t it because of this? Was there another reason?

Seeing Yuan Xu’s puzzled expression, Wang Jinhe chuckled softly. She had previously said that Yuan Xu lacked emotional intelligence, and now it seemed that he was indeed a bit clueless.

“It’s nothing. I just need her to come over to help with the winemaking,” Wang Jinhe said.

There were too many single people around her, and she needed to give someone an opportunity.

“Understood.”

After resolving Pan Minjun’s situation, Yuan Xu finally felt at ease. However, he couldn’t shake the feeling that Wang Jinhe’s gaze towards him was a bit strange.

“Qiu Yi, do you think Yuan Xu is foolish?” Wang Jinhe propped her chin up and looked at the two sisters standing beside her.

Qiu Yi nodded vigorously. “Miss, you’re right. Yuan Xu is too foolish.”

“Compared to Yuan Bao, who is the more foolish one?” Wang Jinhe asked Qiu Yi.

Qiu Yi spoke without hesitation, “Yuan Xu is foolish, while Yuan Bao is very clever.”

Wang Jinhe couldn’t help but chuckle at Qiu Yi’s response. Wasn’t this a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder?

They had all been eagerly anticipating a celebration in the family, but while they hadn’t yet made any progress, Yuan Xu’s situation had also become a concern.

Helplessly, Qiu Chan looked at her sister and then at Wang Jinhe. “Madam, Yuan Xu and that girl only met today.”

“Do you believe that once Pan Minjun starts working here, their relationship will quickly develop?” Wang Jinhe raised an eyebrow and looked at Qiu Chan.

Qiu Chan nodded. “This servant believes so.”

“How are your preparations coming along?” Since this year, Su Yu had been preparing opportunities for the two sisters.

Qiu Chan nodded. “We have already started preparing the items that Master has given us. It will take a little more time, but we should be ready by the end of the year.”

“At that time, I will go, and my sister will accompany the young lady.” This was something they had discussed long ago.

“I have many people around me, so if needed, Qiu Yi can go with you as well.”

“Madam, rest assured. I can handle it. Besides, one of us must stay by your side,” Qiu Chan said. This was what their master had told them on the first day they arrived.

Wang Jinhe shook her head helplessly, feeling that they were too persistent.

“You’re right, Qiu Yi. Although there are many people around the young lady, they are mostly men, and it may not be convenient for them to accompany her. I must stay by her side,” Qiu Yi said earnestly.

Their master often went out, and when he was away, he couldn’t accompany the young lady. If the young lady frequently brought men in and out, even though some people might not say anything openly, they would definitely gossip behind her back. They couldn’t allow such a situation to occur.

Seeing the determination of the two sisters, Wang Jinhe didn’t say anything more. “Since you’ve made up your minds, then so be it. But Qiu Chan, after you go, you must remember that patience is a virtue. Since you have the opportunity for revenge, it’s only a matter of time. Don’t be overeager. It’s a big taboo.”

Qiu Chan nodded earnestly. “Madam, rest assured, I understand.”

In the past two years, her mindset had changed. She not only wanted revenge, but she also had many other things to do—earning money for the young lady, taking care of the children, and watching her sister get married and have children.

She was happy to see her sister and Yuan Bao together. Yuan Bao was very capable, and if anything happened in the future, he would surely be able to protect her sister.

“Qiu Chan, don’t just think about Qiu Yi’s happiness. You deserve happiness too.”

“We have so many capable single people in our family. You can choose who you like.”

Qiu Chan’s mouth twitched. What was the madam saying? She was openly talking about single people.

“Madam…”

“You can consider Yuan Lin, Wan Gu, Wan Feng, Qi Feng, and Chen Jinnian. They are all capable and single. You are attractive and capable as well. After you finish your own matters, you can choose someone to spend time with,” Wang Jinhe said. She didn’t want their hearts to be filled only with hatred, leaving nothing after the revenge was done.

Qiu Chan looked at Wang Jinhe with a wry smile and said, “Madam, have you considered the opinions of the others when you say this?”

“Do they even dare to have an opinion?” Wang Jinhe looked at Qiu Chan in surprise. A group of single people without spouses, given a chance to leave their single status, and they still wanted to have a say?

Qiu Chan’s eyes were filled with helplessness. Their young lady was truly kind. She genuinely cared for them.

“Miss, rest assured. I will consider it after I finish my tasks,” Qiu Chan said softly.

“I’m relieved to hear that. After all, there are still many beautiful things in this world. It’s not all that bad,” Wang Jinhe said softly.

“You still have your sister and all of us,” Wang Jinhe said.

Qiu Chan looked at Wang Jinhe in a daze. Her young lady was right. She had many people around her, and it wasn’t just about seeking revenge.

At that moment, Qiu Chan felt completely at ease, no longer focused solely on living life after seeking revenge.

She still had many things and was not alone. Seeing her sister letting go of some things, Qiu Yi felt completely at ease.

“Let me know if you need anything later, and I will have someone help you.” Although she had known for the past year or two that Qiu Chan and her sister were very capable, Qiu Yi still felt a bit worried about Qiu Chan going alone.

Thinking about this, Wang Jinhe seemed pensive. After a while, she spoke, “How about having Zixun go with you later? What do you think?”

Qiu Chan was taken aback. It would be best if Lin Zixun went with her, but didn’t their young lady also need Lin Zixun?

“But what about you, Miss?”

“I’m not in a hurry. Finish your matters first, and after we return to the capital, it will be Lin Zixun’s battlefield,” Wang Jinhe said, propping up her chin.

Even if they returned at the end of the year, they might not confront Lu Lingfeng immediately, nor would it be time for Lin Zixun to compete with Lu Lingfeng.

He would have plenty of time to accompany Qiu Chan and help her finish her matters before they went to the capital.

“Okay,” Qiu Chan agreed, seeing that Wang Jinhe was not in a hurry.

“Yuan Lin, go and call Zixun. I need to speak with him,” Wang Jinhe said.

“Understood.”

Lin Zixun soon arrived. “Madam, Yuan Lin said you wanted to see me. Is there something you need me to do?”

“Soon, Qiu Chan will leave here to take care of some matters. You will go with her to help her complete what she needs to do. It’s best to spend some time with her and understand what she needs to do,” Wang Jinhe said.

After listening, Lin Zixun nodded earnestly. “That’s not a problem. But what about Lu Lingfeng, Madam?”

Didn’t Yuan Bao say that he should deal with Lu Lingfeng?
