Chapter 12
Qin Mo said with emotion: "Little sister, you have become stupid. After studying for a few days, you really want to be a good and law-abiding person. Have you forgotten what your mother told us before she died? I know why you beat people to raise your face, but no one is still there."Do you dare to say anything, because we have money, our Qin family has money, and money can turn ghosts around, not to mention a mere woman."
Qin Chu looked at Qin Mo with a proud face, and said solemnly: "Brother, you are wrong, you can do whatever you want if you have money, and ignoring the law will only push yourself and the Qin family into an abyss of eternal doom.Forgive me for not being able to help you with the birthday party at the mansion."
When Qin Mo heard this, he took a deep look at Qin Chu: "Little sister, you have really changed."
Qin Chu said silently, "I only know that if you don't change, big brother, you will be imprisoned sooner or later." All she can think of now is how to explain to Qiu Jinning that the glass of wine was made by the original owner's brother and sister.
And if Big Brother Cheap is obsessed with his obsession, she doesn't mind a righteous extermination of relatives.
Qin Mo was choked up, seeing that his younger sister had changed her temper and was unwilling to help him, so she said sheepishly, "It's fine if you don't help, big brother won't force you."
After all, he didn't want to pay attention to Qin Chu any more, and left in a hurry.
Qin Chu looked at his back, frowned tightly, and made a decision in his heart. Although it was the original owner's fault, whether he blamed it or not, he should not cover up the past mistakes for the brothers and sisters.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, Qiu Jinning's birthday banquet was held as scheduled, the Qiu Mansion opened its doors to welcome guests, and almost all the respectable people in Jiuqu County sent their family members to the banquet.
Qin Chu came neither early nor late, took the invitation card into the door of the Qiu Mansion, and was ushered into the main hall. After sitting down, she whispered to the pot: "Be careful and see if my elder brother is here.Come, tell me in time."
She was still worried, worrying about Big Brother Cheap.
Mrs. Qiu greeted everyone in front, she glanced at the seat in the middle from a distance, seeing someone taking a seat, her eyes flickered.
That position was arranged by her for Miss Qin's family. It was neither far nor close to the main seat, and she neither paid much attention nor seemed neglectful.
Qin Chu sat quietly on his seat, grabbed a winter jujube from the fruit plate, and ate it leisurely.
In the eyes of Mrs. Qiu, she was a thin and delicate woman, dressed in a light blue dress, looking elegant and tranquil, but somewhat beautiful, with a somewhat cute expression on her face.
Therefore, it is said that people should not be judged by appearances. Who would have expected that looking at such a well-behaved girl, she would have the audacity to raise her face.
Mrs. Qiu looked at her daughter next to her with a heavy heart: "Jinning, that Miss Qin family has arrived." Why did the daughter invite this incomprehensible Miss Qin to come here?
Qiu Jinning heard the words and went to see Qin Chu, and saw that Qin Chu didn't know what the little maid said, his face changed suddenly, and he looked in one direction with an unusually solemn expression.
It's in the direction of Gu's family!
Thinking of the conflict between Qin Chu and Miss Gu San, she sighed softly in her heart, hoping that the two of them could distinguish the occasion, and not just pinch each other when they met in the academy.
Seeing her daughter looking in the direction of Miss Qin's family and not speaking, Mrs. Qiu tugged at her daughter's sleeve: "Jinning, tell mother honestly, what do you want that idiot from Qin's family to do?"
"The rumors can't be completely believed, Miss Qin is a decent person." Qiu Jinning said calmly.
She had very little impression of Qin Chu before, she had only heard others say that he was an idiot who was running amok, and had never come into contact with him.
After the intersection of these days, she felt that Qin Chu was not as rumored, at least his temperament was acceptable.
Mrs. Qiu couldn't deny her daughter's words. Rumors cannot be completely believed, but they will not be groundless. Among other things, the matter of raising a face is always true.
She still couldn't help admonishing: "Mother knows that you have ideas, but it's better to have less contact with her, so as not to ruin the reputation of our Qiu family."
"Okay." Qiu Jinning nodded helplessly, her gaze paused suddenly, and she looked at the person walking towards her.
"Junior Qin Chu has met Mrs. Qiu, Miss Qiu, can you take a moment to speak?" Qin Chu bowed slightly to Mrs. Qiu and saluted, then looked at Qiu Jinning.
Mrs. Qiu's eyelids twitched, she couldn't help but look at her daughter.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Jinning should be straightforward: "Okay, go to my room and talk."
The two of them left the main hall hand in hand.
Mrs. Qiu, who was standing there, was stunned. The daughter just nodded, and promised her to have less contact with Qin Chu. Why did she turn around and invite him into the boudoir?
In Qiu Jinning's room, Qin Chu confessed directly after entering the door: "My elder brother is here too, and he is among the members of the Gu family. The person who tricked you is my elder brother. You have to be more careful."
She also wanted to cover it up, but if she made a mistake, she was wrong, and she was afraid that she would make the same mistake again and again without repentance.
She was really worried that Qin Mo would do something to Qiu Jinning again.
Qiu Jinning was taken aback, and quietly poured tea for Qin Chu: "How do you say that?"
Although she knew that the people who plotted against her were either rich or noble, she really didn't think of the Qin family.
She drank alcohol that night and felt that her body was not right, and immediately wanted to get off the boat and go back to her home, but her sanity was too fast to support her to walk to the bow.
Hong Shao, the maid who followed her on the boat, was nowhere to be seen. In desperation, Qiu Jinning speculated about her own situation, anticipating all the things she was about to face, and jumped off the boat when she got to a place where there was no one else.
The river water in early spring was icy cold, stimulated by the cold water, she regained some sense, saw that there was no one on the boat next to her, she climbed up and hid in a room, and there was a person lying on the bed in the room, that person she knew,It is the famous idiot of the county school, Qin Chu, the eldest lady of the Qin family.
And then there was an uncontrollable absurd plea for help, the first rain and dew...
Therefore, that night with Qin Chu was a coincidence, and the subsequent getting along made her change her mind about this rumored person repeatedly, so she never doubted the Qin family.
But Qin Chu's words at this moment were like an alarm bell, ringing in his mind, making Qiu Jinning unconsciously on guard.
Qin Chu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put it down.
"I don't know exactly what happened. I drank too much wine that night, and I forgot many things when I woke up. I only found out two days ago that it was my elder brother who plotted against you. Maybe I'm not innocent."
The original owner, Miss Qin, must have also participated, but she didn't know how, and she couldn't admit that she was not Miss Qin, so she could only say ambiguously.
Qiu Jinning's expression remained unchanged, but the vigilance in his heart did not disappear: "It was my maid Hong Shao who poured the wine that night, and she never appeared again after that, and she hasn't returned home until today, have you seen her before?"
She has two personal maids, Hong Shao and Lu Yao.
It was Hong Shao who accompanied her to the poetry meeting on the night of Shangyuan Festival, but Hong Shao disappeared later.
These days, she has been searching in private, but she has not found anyone. If the young master of the Qin family did it, maybe Hong Shao will be in the Qin residence. It is the maid who grew up with her.The safety of red peony.
Qin Chu shook her head, she didn't know what Hong Shao looked like, even if she had seen it, she wouldn't recognize it.
The words have come to this point, and the two of them are silent at the same time.
At this time, Lu Yao knocked on the door: "Miss, madam called you to the front yard, the master is here, it's time for the banquet."
The two looked at each other, got up together, and before going out, Qiu Jinning said in a low voice: "If your eldest brother stops here, I can let it go, but old spirits are hard to find, and the Qin family is in the wine business.Take responsibility, or donβt blame me.β
Hearing the threatening words in his ears, Qin Chu felt a little uncomfortable.
Qiu Jinning's ability to let go of the past is already extraordinarily tolerant, she should be happy.
But looking at Qiu Jinning with a cold face and that vigilant expression, Qin Chu felt a faint sense of loss in his heart.
Unexpectedly, when the two of them returned to the main hall and just took their seats, they heard Magistrate Qiu toast and said: "Thank you all for coming to my daughter's birthday banquet, let's drink this cup together."
After finishing speaking, County Magistrate Qiu gulped it down, and then he and Mrs. Qiu left the banquet and went to the side hall. Because it was his daughter's birthday party, the front hall was filled with young people, and the parents and seniors sat next door.hall.
The guests on both sides were divided into men and women, the men were on the left side, and the women were on the right side. The men almost didn't hesitate, and they raised their glasses quite boldly and drank in one gulp.
As for the women's seats, it was a little slower. Qin Chu looked at Qiu Jinning worriedly, and saw her holding up the wine glass without changing her face, and then realized that this is Qiu's mansion. Whether Qiu Jinning was drinking wine is naturally controllable.
She was relieved, the moment the wine entered her throat, her heart tightened.
Miss Gu San walked towards Qiu Jinning with two glasses of wine: "Sister Qiu, happy birthday, I would like to toast you."
"I'm not feeling well today, I shouldn't drink too much-"
"Miss Qiu is not feeling well, I can't drink-"
"to speak"
A day without seeing each other is like three autumns~
Thank you for your comments and reminders, whisper: I miss you, and I will hand in my homework in the future.?
