The autumn wind cannot blow into the house, and it cannot bring coolness.

Qiu Jinning's eyes were blurred by the kiss, her body was like a cloud in the sky, and she couldn't lift her strength lightly.

Seeing that the person in front of her wanted to go further, she slowly raised her hand, and put her slender index finger on Qin Chu's mouth.

"Miss Qin can't be dishonest, you promise me that you won't do anything reckless."

Her tone was soft and waxy, and her eyes were rolling, which was really not a bit intimidating.

Qin Chu laughed softly, and kissed the fingers on his lips: "Miss Qiu is too cruel, can I just look at the plums once in a while to quench my thirst?"

Qiu Jinning took a look at her: "Looking at the plum blossoms to quench thirst is of no use, stop talking nonsense."

The two hugged and calmed down for a while, then went to eat, the business was important.

After dinner, he sent Guan Zi to inquire about it, only to find out that the owner upstairs also lives in Housong Street, very close to the Qin Mansion, just two houses away.

I sent the greeting card in, but was rejected.

The gatekeeper smiled and said: "Miss, I'm sorry, our boss is too busy, if you have business matters, just go upstairs and find the shopkeeper."

The upstairs owner's family name is Song, a woman over thirty years old, known as Mrs. Song.

It is not an exaggeration for Mrs. Song to say that she is the richest man in Baiyue. The Song family can manage the upstairs and upstairs for generations with one trick: know the taste, that is, support the court.

Nearly half of the silver he earns every year is paid in taxes, and he cooperates with all the measures of the government, does more good deeds, does not make friends with the powerful, and does not have any grudges with all the nobles.

Seeing this, Qin Chu took out the half of the jade pendant: "Please present this to Mrs. Song."

Seeing that they didn't give up, the gatekeeper turned around to give the jade pendant, and thought that the owner probably still didn't see anyone.

Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Song saw the jade pendant, she was surprised and said, "Quickly pass it on." It finally came.

After Qin Chu and Qiu Jinning entered, Mrs. Song ordered someone to bring a wooden box: "The two of you are here to receive the bonus. The ledger and bank notes are inside, please check and accept."

Qin Chu and Qiu Jinning looked at each other, both puzzled.

Mrs. Song saw that they seemed to be ignorant, so she told the whole story.

It has been the nineteenth generation that it has been passed down to her from upstairs to upstairs. Before her death, her mother left a secret letter and half a jade pendant, saying that if someone brings the other half, she will act according to what is said in the letter.

Mrs. Song read the letter and waited for several years before seeing the other half of the jade pendant.

"My mother once explained that the person who holds the other half of the jade pendant is the small boss upstairs, who can receive a 10% bonus every year. It has just been twenty years. Let's count it."

Qin Chu sighed from the bottom of his heart, it seems that the half of the jade pendant left by his mother was only for money, which is equivalent to owning 10% of the shares of Upstairs, just wait for the money to be distributed.

Disappointment flashed across her eyes, and she looked at Qiu Jinning.

Qiu Jinning shook her head lightly, and the two of them left without counting the wooden boxes.

After watching them leave the house, Mrs. Song summoned her confidants: "Find out who they are, the most important thing is everything."

In addition to explaining the dividend, there were other arrangements in that letter.

That is: if the person holding the jade pendant is a criminal, he will be sent to the government immediately, and the agreement will be voided.

If the person who comes is a pure and good person, and has a good relationship with the princess of Anguo, the upstairs should respect him as a noble person, help him with all his strength, and protect him comprehensively.

Mrs. Song knew that her mother had a close friendship with Concubine Bai Xian, the mother concubine of Princess Anguo, and this agreement was also instigated by Concubine Bai Xian.

As for the identities of the two women just now...

Mrs. Song looked at the sky outside with a serious expression on her face, she had to confirm whether she would help her or not.

In the Qin Manor, Qin Chu looked at the two little maids counting the banknotes and reconciling the ledger, exclaiming from time to time, but he was not very happy.

The bonus of upstairs is 10% every year, accumulatively for twenty years, the amount is so large that even dozens of Qin's family can't match it, but what she needs now is not a huge amount of money, but a certificate that can prove her identity.

Over there, Princess Anguo, who received the news, also temporarily put down her mind to recognize Bai Hongshao.

The next day, Qiu Jinning took the invitation to Bai Hongshao's appointment and came to Qingshi Temple.

Qin Chu was worried that she would be at a disadvantage, so he deliberately asked the pot to follow, and he himself stayed at the foot of the mountain.

As soon as she saw Qiu Jinning, Hong Shao smiled and said, "Miss Qiu, don't come here without any problems."

Qiu Jinning said indifferently: "Hong Shao, you and I are master and servant. If you have anything to say, just say it."

The smile on Hong Shao's lips froze, and she said coldly: "Miss Qiu, the relationship between you and me as a master and servant is over, from now on, don't call me by my first name directly, my surname is Bai, you can call me Miss Bai."

As she spoke, her eyes looked around from time to time, and her eyes were dark.

Qiu Jinning was silent for a moment, and then said, "Miss Bai, if you have anything to say, you can just say it."

Hong Shao stared at her fixedly, and suddenly leaned in front of her, Qiu Jinning subconsciously blocked her, and just as she touched someone, Hong Shao fell to the ground.

She was not annoyed when she fell to the ground. Instead, she crossed one leg and said in an aggrieved tone: "Jinning, you didn't treat me like this in the past. Maybe you forget the old one when you have a new one. Now you still want to hurt me."

Qiu Jinning frowned slightly, staring at her protruding left leg without saying a word.

Hong Shao looked around again, raised her voice and said: "Jinning, you and I don't know each other, why do you want to kill me just to make the couple laugh, are you really so ruthless?"

Qiu Jinning noticed her gaze, his eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at the jar beside him.

Guan Zi understood, it was agreed upon when she came here, if Miss Qiu looked at her, it meant that it was time for her to act.

After receiving the order, Guanzi kicked Bai Hongshao's protruding left leg, and cursed: "Stop talking nonsense, newcomers and oldcomers, if you continue to talk about it, I will make you a dead person today."

What, still don't distinguish between Miss Qiu, bah, the one who doesn't distinguish between each other is obviously her miss.

Hong Shao first laughed twice, and then laughed loudly: "Qiu Jinning, you really want to kill me, but it's a pity that I made a mistake with my affection, you are so cruel."

After the words fell, a few men in black suddenly appeared around.

Qiu Jinning knew something was wrong, so she hurriedly ordered the pot: "Let's go quickly."

But it was too late, the men in black had already charged over, and before they got close to Qiu Jinning, they were stopped by another wave of men in black.

The two sides fought together immediately, and Qiu Jinning went straight down the mountain with the jar, regardless of the fight behind him.

At the foot of the mountain, Qin Chu saw them running down, and asked concerned, "What's wrong, isn't it?"

Qiu Jinning held her hand: "We'll talk about it when we go back home, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time."

Back in the Qin Mansion, Guan Zi quickly relayed what Hong Shao said, it has to be said, that woman came to rob Miss Qiu from her.

Qin Chu couldn't help being startled, and looked at Qiu Jinning: "You and her?"

Qiu Jinning frowned: "I only have the friendship of master and servant with her, it seems that her words were deliberately told to those men in black."

"So she wants to kill you!"

"I don't know either. The first batch of people in black should be Hong Shao's people, and the one who protects me may be the Queen's people. We need to investigate someone immediately." Qiu Jinning thought of Hong Shao's performance in Qingshi Temple, and his heart became more and more serious.disturbed.

Qin Chu was taken aback: "Who should I check?"

"Hong Shao." After saying Hong Shao's name, Qiu Jinning looked at the jar, "When you kicked her leg, did you feel something was wrong?"

Guanzi thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "She doesn't seem to know how to hide or feel pain, her legs are stiff, and the servant didn't kick her so hard on purpose, who told her that she and Miss Qiu are inseparable."

The little girl's voice dropped after she finished speaking, but Qiu Jinning suddenly realized, "There is something wrong with her left leg, it might be a prosthetic limb."

When she first saw Hong Shao, she didn't notice something was wrong until she pushed it lightly, and Hong Shao fell to the ground with her left leg straight on the ground, which is not the case for normal people's legs.

Problem with left leg?

Qin Chu couldn't help but glanced at his left leg, and told the pot: "Go out and watch, don't let anyone in."

After the jar went outside, Qiu Jinning seemed to realize something when he saw Qin Chu, and said in a deep voice, "Hongshao's leg didn't have any problems, but this time she appeared in the capital, wearing a red dress, and she has a problem with one leg."

Qin Chu took a tight breath: "Phoenix Picture! No, if she wants to be a Phoenix girl, why does she still ask Princess Anguo to help her recognize her ancestors?"

"If she wants to occupy both sides."

"That's - it's too ruthless, just cut off one's own leg." Qin Chu didn't understand, for an uncertain royal status, for a false prophecy, it's too perverted to cut off one's own leg.

Qiu Jinning looked at her silently, the arsenic of A//the honey of frost and the second, what Qin Chu didn't want, maybe some people desperately wanted it.

"Then why did she kill you? Want to get rid of you, the true phoenix girl, so that she can replace you?"

Qiu Jinning shook her head lightly: "Something is wrong, you can send a letter to Princess Anguo first, and you can first recognize her royal identity."

Hong Shao's picture is so big, I'm afraid Princess An Guo will not admit it, and she will expose it herself. Instead of passively watching, it is better to take the initiative to test and see what she wants to do.

Qin Chu was puzzled: "What if I admit it, and there is no way to prove that she is a fake in the future?"

Qiu Jinning said indifferently: "Do you think she can defeat the three princes or the queen? Instead of fighting her head-on, it's better to help her see who the real resistance is."

This is called sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. Qiu Jinning didn't think that without the help of Princess Anguo, Hong Shao could fight against the queen and the three princes by herself.

At this time, it is better to be still than to move.

Let's try how many cards Hong Shao and the people behind her have after 20 years of dormancy.

After receiving the news, Princess Anguo began to make efforts to help Hong Shao recognize her ancestor and return to her clan. With her testimony, the empress did not have any embarrassment, so she agreed to the matter. Hong Shao transformed into the daughter of the deceased eldest princess and becameNow Baiyue's second princess is titled Pingle.

On the day of the first snowfall, the Qin Mansion received an invitation from Hong Shao, inviting them to a banquet at the Pingle County Lord's Mansion.

Qin Chu stood in the courtyard with a complicated mood, and asked Qiu Jinning, "Shall we go?"

Qiu Jinning patted Luoxue on her shoulder lightly: "Guess, what is she going to do next?"

Qin Chu thought for a moment: "Now that I have recognized my ancestors and returned to my ancestors, the next step is Huangnv!"

But the empress and the three princes all know that Qiu Jinning is a phoenix girl, so what can Hong Shao do to shake their opinion.

As if knowing what she was thinking, Qiu Jinning poked Qin Chu's collar, and said with a slight smile, "If she is wearing a red dress and has a broken leg, what happens to be the birthday of late spring and March?"

In this way, no matter how sure the empress is of Qiu Jinning's identity, she will not be sure who the true phoenix girl is.

Qin Chu stretched out his hands and covered Qiu Jinning's ears that were blown by the cold wind: "Miss Qiu can still laugh, so I'm not afraid that she will really freeze up and take away your phoenix girl status."

Qiu Jinning held the hand covering her ear, and slightly curled her lips: "If she can really take it away, I wish for it."

"to speak"

Let's guess, who is Hong Shao?
