The night wind was blowing, and lanterns were lit in front of the gates of each mansion, dimly yellow and red, vaguely illuminating the road ahead.

In the small study in the backyard of the Minister's Mansion.

Qiu Shilang sat at the table, Qin Chu and Qiu Jinning sat on both sides, and the atmosphere was a bit delicate.

After hearing about the Wanshou Banquet, Qiu Jinning expressed her thoughts: "Although there are people from the eldest prince and the male queen in the palace, most of them are from the empress. Since she has promised the Qin family to provide wine, she also knows that I and Qin Churelationship, we will definitely send someone to pay attention.”

Qiu Shilang nodded: "It makes sense, so don't worry too much."

Qin Chu: "Yes, yes, yes."

Qiu Jinning continued: "Since the empress will pay attention, they must not dare to mess around, at least they dare not do anything blatantly. Therefore, we don't need to do anything, just do our job well."

Qiu Shilang nodded: "Jin Ning is right, if you do as much as you make mistakes, just do your job well."

Qin Chu: "Yes, yes."

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and Qiu Shilang couldn't help but look sideways at Qin Chu: "Niece Qin, if you have any ideas, you can tell them."

His impression of Qin Chu was still in Jiuqu County. At the Qin family's wine tasting banquet, this girl was quick-witted and decisive, and she had some adaptability. Why did she look a little dumbfounded tonight.

I used to think that this girl had a lot of ideas, did she become stupid after coming to the capital?

Sensing Qiu Shilang's probing scrutiny, Qin Chu felt a little nervous: "Well, I have the same idea as Jin Ning, and I also think that you should not act rashly and just wait and see what happens."

Qiu Shilang felt speechless and nodded silently.

Qin Chu went to look at Qiu Jinning and blinked slightly.

Qiu Jinning caught her gaze and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything else?"

Qin Chu sighed in his heart, why is their tacit understanding not working today? Didn't she want to have a private conversation with Qiu Jinning?

She took a deep breath and looked at Qiu Shilang: "Uncle Qiu, it's getting late, do you want to rest earlier."

Qiu Shilang stroked his beard: "Speaking of which, I have something to tell you. When I was in Jiuqu County, Jin Ning asked me to pay attention to that Qin Mo. Before entering Beijing, I told a few people to be careful."Keep an eye on it, there was news from Jiuqu County in the afternoon that Qin Mo was picked up by a group of people, and he was heading towards the capital, and then disappeared, do you think this matter is important?"

Qin Mo?

Qin Chu's heart skipped a beat. He originally thought that he would never have to deal with the cheating brother in the future, but he didn't expect to be picked up by someone, and he might come to the capital?

Who could it be?

Qiu Shilang saw that both Qin Chu and Qiu Jinning's expressions became serious, and added: "When the old man asked Qin Mo later, he found that he was indeed hit too hard and his brain was useless, so there shouldn't be any trouble."

The former young master of the Qin family became a fool with a broken leg when he came to Beijing. Thinking of this, Qiu Shilang felt sorry for him for no reason. His eldest son also broke his leg in the capital. The feng shui in this capital is too evilup.

Qin Chu took a look at Qiu Jinning: "Uncle Qiu, you are getting old, do you want to rest first, I can discuss this matter with Jinning."

There are some things that Qiu Shilang should not know, such as her identity, such as the identity of her mother Bailuo...

"It's okay, I'll sleep after listening to you guys. I'm getting older and I'm less likely to doze off." Qiu Shilang was as still as a mountain.

It was so natural that Qin Chu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Looking at Qin Chu's expression, Qiu Jinning curled his lips slightly, and said softly, "It's nothing serious, Daddy should go back to rest earlier, and I'll send Qin Chu out of the house in a while."

Qiu Shilang stroked his beard, faintly feeling that he was rejected, and one or two told him to go to rest quickly, as if he was so unpopular.

Don't think that he can't see that this little girl of the Qin family wants to be alone with her daughter. She is late at night, and she is not married yet. If she wants to shove cabbage into his face, how can she do that.

He coughed lightly, glanced at his daughter, and finally stood up: "Forget it, you young people, let's talk, I won't bother you as a father."

Qin Chu and Qiu Jinning sent him out together, and then closed the door of the study.

Qiu Shilang glanced back, shook his head to himself, and left heartbroken. His daughter is not married yet, so he thinks he is redundant, hey!

In the study, Qin Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally relaxed. In front of her father-in-law, she always felt nervous for no reason.

"Will Qin Mo be picked up by someone? Will he come to the capital?"

Qiu Jinning was silent for a moment, walked to the desk and wrote down a row of names, stroked and said: "First of all, exclude Princess Anguo and the third prince. It is unlikely that the eldest prince was the one who drove Qin Mo out of Beijing. As forThe second prince is like a useless person now, he has no reason or the ability to take people away from Jiuqu County without anyone noticing, and there are only these two left."

She put down the pen and looked at the two uncrossed-out names on the white paper.

One is Empress Zhou Xie, and the other is Princess Hong Shao of Pingle County.

Qin Chu also stared at the two names, frowned and said: "Empress Zhou Xie doesn't know that Qin Mo was not born to my mother. If she wants to take Qin Mo away, there is only one possibility, and that is to know that my mother is the eldest princess, and think that Qin Mo is not born to me.Qin Mo is the eldest son of the eldest princess, and there is a threat to the throne. I think this possibility is very small, because in this way, I am as big a threat as Qin Mo. She has no reason to target Qin Mo who is far away in Jiuqu County, butLet me alone in front of you."

The fact that her mother is the eldest princess is the same as her identity. There are very few people who know about it, and they are all trustworthy people, so there should be no need to worry.

Then only red peony is left!

Qiu Jinning stroked out the Queen's name again: "Either Hong Shao already knew that your mother was the eldest princess and thought that Qin Mo's identity could be used, or Hong Shao had a relationship with Qin Mo, which we didn't know about, I thinkThe second possibility is more likely."

In this way, it may be possible to explain why Hong Shao was loyal to Qin Chu's mother, why she helped Qin Mo to lay a spell on her, and why it happened that after Qin Mo's accident, she did not hesitate to cut off her own leg and appeared in the capital to stir up trouble.rain.

This time, the two thought of going together, Hong Shao and Qin Mo must have a relationship, and the relationship is very close.

Qiu Jinning put down his pen: "In Jiuqu County, my father has been in charge of it for many years. I'll find someone to investigate this matter. You should concentrate on preparing for the longevity banquet."

"good."

Qin Chu responded and looked at Qiu Jinning with tender eyes.

Qiu Jinning raised her eyes and looked at her, her expression paused, and her tone softened: "I'll send you out of the house, and go to the Wine Pavilion after a few days of rest."

Seeing the person in front of her nodding slightly, looking to one side, Qin Chu walked over and hugged her.

"It's so late, I won't go back tonight, okay?"

She really misses Qiu Jinning, really wants to hug Qiu Jinning all the time, never parting for a moment.

Qiu Jinning gave her a helpless look: "If you are not afraid that my father and mother will find out, then stay and try."

Dad doesn't really care about these small things, and mother must tell her to tell her what to do.

Qin Chu let out a long sigh, and kissed Qiu Jinning's ear: "I don't know what life is like years until now. I really want us to get married today."

Qiu Jinning smiled and said nothing, stretched out her fingers to grab Qin Chu's collar, pulled her closer, and kissed the corner of her mouth lightly.

"Go back quickly, it's too late, Uncle Qin will be worried."

"Hey, good." Qin Chu touched the corner of his mouth and smiled happily.

It wasn't until she was sent out of the Minister's Mansion and got into the carriage that she realized that she seemed too easily satisfied.

In that situation just now, Qiu Jinning should be hugged tightly. How could one kiss be enough-

In the carriage, the little maid saw her young lady smirking in a daze, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "Miss, my saliva is coming out."

Um?Qin Chu hurriedly wiped the corners of her mouth, it was clean without any trace of wetness, she realized that she was being teased by the little maid, and said coldly, "Go back and clean the hut in the Qin residence, and you are not allowed to sleep if you can't finish cleaning."

The voice was indifferent, the tone was unfeeling, falling on the jar's ears like a bolt from the blue: "Miss - Is it okay if the servant is wrong?"

She is going to be the housekeeper, how can she still clean the toilet, it's too demeaning.

"No." Qin Chu was merciless, the hateful little maid, even she dared to make fun of her, it seemed that she was not punished for a while, and her skin was itchy.

The jar pursed its mouth, bowed its head and drew circles with its fingers, sweeping as often as it wanted, at worst, secretly sweeping in the dead of night, especially not to be known by that skinny maid, otherwise she would definitely despise her.

Jingdu Road and Housong Street, where the Song Mansion is located, are separated by Zhuque Street, and it takes about a quarter of an hour to arrive.

After Qin Chu returned to the mansion, he didn't go to sleep directly, but went to find Master Qin.

"Father, my mother would go to the nunnery outside the city to offer incense on the fifteenth day of every month, did you know about this?"

Hong Shao has stayed in the county magistrate's mansion for many years, so it is convenient for Qiu Jinning to check. As for Qin Mo, he grew up in the Qin family since he was a child, so the Qin family knows best.

Master Qin was stunned, and thought about it for a moment: "It happened. It seems that it started after Qin Mo was adopted. He would go there once every fifteenth day. Your mother didn't like it before. What's wrong?"

When Qin Chu heard it, he knew it from the bottom of his heart, so he was right.

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered, every time my mother goes, does she only bring Qin Mo and me?"

Unexpectedly, Master Qin shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "You were too young at that time, you must have misremembered, your mother only brought Qin Mo with her every time, and seldom brought you with her."

His Luo Niang must have pitied Qin Mo that child was a beggar without father and mother, so she went to offer incense to the child and pray for blessings.

My beloved wife looks indifferent to others, but in fact there are times when her heart is soft.

As soon as Qin Chu heard it, his mind suddenly brightened, as if clearing the clouds and seeing the fog, so every time Hong Shao went to see not only her mother, but also Qin Mo.

There must be a relationship between Hong Shao and Qin Mo, and at such a young age, it is very likely that they are close relatives, and Qin Mo is the key between the two.

It is the key to her mother's win over Hong Shao, and it is also the key to Hong Shao's dormancy in the county magistrate's mansion for her mother for many years, serving as a slave and handmaiden.

After Qin Chu figured it out, he found a new way to start.

Early the next morning, he ordered Guanzi to go to the Shilang's mansion immediately, and pass on the news he got from Master Qin to Qiu Jinning.

The jar supported her waist, she was so pale, she cleaned the toilet in the middle of the night before falling asleep.

Miss is too inhumane.

Outside the servant's mansion, Lu Yao watched her young lady go to the yamen, then turned to look at the jar who was walking: "You went to be a thief last night, why are you so tired?"

The eye circles are also dark, as if they haven't slept all night.

"Don't mention it, I-I'm training the new maid I bought in the mansion. It's not easy to be a housekeeper." The jar's mouth was bald, and she almost said that she was tired of cleaning the toilet. Fortunately, she responded quickly and in time.changed his mouth.

"to speak"
