The handle

It is not an easy task to find out what clues Yao has that fell into the hands of Grandma Pei.

Qin Hanzhen definitely couldn't ask Qin Jinhua to inquire. First of all, Qin Jinhua was not a smart and capable girl to begin with, and Yao was very doting on her daughter. Most of the important things were hidden from her. If there was any evidence, it would be impossible to let her daughter know about it.

; Secondly, Qin Jinhua and Qin

Jinchun has always been friendly. If she knew that her mother was using her cousin's marriage as a bargaining chip to achieve her own personal goals, she would definitely feel uncomfortable. She is not a person who can hold her breath well. If anything were revealed in front of her mother,

A half-sentence, isn't it just a warning?

So Qin Hanzhen directly ignored Qin Jinhua as the source of information.

She didn't plan to find Qin Jian. Until a few days ago, Qin Jian had been studying hard for the examination and almost stopped going out to socialize. Generally, no one would bother him with family matters, and it was even less likely that Yao would bother him.

Telling his son about his troubles disturbed his preparation for the exam. Therefore, Qin Hanzhen did not plan to talk to Qin Jian for the time being. When she found out what Yao had done and was unable to solve the problem, she would go to her cousin to discuss it.

It's not too late either.

Qin Hanzhen found Yulan, the Yao family's confidant.

Yu Lan has been serving Yao family for ten years. She is now in her twenties and is not yet married. Although Yao family has always relied on her, he has not stopped her from getting married. She was born well and holds great power.

, in fact, many people have been coming to propose to her, including the chief steward of the Marquis of Chengen's Mansion.

There were middle-ranking stewards who begged her to be their stepmother after losing their wives, and there were also young talented servants who begged her directly to be their first wife, but she was rejected by all of them, so they just stayed by Yao's side and became her.

Her confidant seems to want to wait until she reaches the age of becoming a nanny, and then let the Chengenhou Mansion be responsible for her old age care.

Naturally, Mrs. Yao was so happy that her confidants didn't leave, and others didn't say much. Qin Jinhua once lamented to her sisters in private that it was not a good thing that Yu Lan refused to get married. Qin Jinchun would not interfere in matters that had nothing to do with her.

As for Qin Hanzhen? Is it possible that she still wants to prevent an ancient maid from focusing on her career and giving up getting married and having children? Yulan is already an adult and is smart. She has the right to choose her own life.

Not to mention how loyal Yu Lan was to the Yao family, when Qin Hanzhen and Qin Jinchun approached her, she refused to reveal a single word about what Yao family had been in the hands of others, and instead spoke righteously.

He persuaded the two girls in the next room: "I don't know what the three girls and four girls are talking about."

Well, it’s just that our second grandma is the elder of the two girls. I’m afraid it’s not good for the two girls to pry into our second grandma’s private affairs like this. Although the second grandma inevitably acts selfishly, she has always been kind to the two girls. If you knew

It will be very sad for the two girls to treat her like this."

Needless to say, Yulan will definitely file a complaint against Yao later.

Qin Jinchun frowned and looked at her without saying a word. Qin Hanzhen was very calm: "It doesn't matter if you just tell her, but I think you are different from other girls. You should know very well that even if your second grandmother is angry with me,

You can't do anything to me. You don't have to scare the fourth girl. She has been used by your second grandma for this. Why don't you allow her to ask a few questions about the truth? It doesn't matter if you don't want to tell us the truth. Anyway, I just want

Ask grandma to give it directly

Grandma Pei handed over a letter saying that this marriage can't be done. If Grandma Pei gets angry, she will naturally tell the truth about your second grandma. I think your second grandma has such a grip in her hands, so why not

Ask for it slowly

Arranging a good show, rejecting the marriage and telling the lie at the same time, presumably this handle is not very important. In this case, then I have nothing to be afraid of. Even if I provoke Duke Pei's mansion, there should be no hindrance to the Qin family.

"

Yulan's expression changed slightly, but she still tried hard to maintain the smile on her face: "The third girl was joking. The West Mansion is more prominent than the East Mansion. If the third girl really wants to say that, our Second Mistress will naturally be unable to do anything to you, but

The reputation of the fourth girl will be affected to some extent. The third girl has a good relationship with the fourth girl, so how can we watch the fourth girl get implicated? We, the second girl, have always been kind to the third and fourth girls. Could it be that the third girl doesn’t care about sisterhood at all?

?”

Qin Hanzhen looked at her and said, "Since you said that, it shows that your second grandmother really has something in the hands of Grandma Pei, right?"

Yulan quickly shut her mouth, forced a smile, and then said: "The third girl is so eloquent that she actually tricked a slave."

"You don't need to prevaricate me here." Qin Hanzhen said calmly, "Do you think helping your second grandma hide it from everyone means you are loyal to her? She can solve this problem and successfully silence Grandma Pei.

, there is no need to plan the marriage of the fourth sister. Could it be that she could afford to offend the Marquis of Yunyang Mansion? If the marriage of the Cai family failed, it was not only the fourth sister who suffered a loss, she also left a bad reputation in front of Madam Yunyang Marquis. This

Why bother? The second sister is a good person and has done nothing wrong. She is getting married soon, but she has to be blamed by her mother. Even if your second grandma is dissatisfied with the Tang family and really wants to ruin this marriage, the second sister

My sister's marriage will only be more difficult in the future. Not to mention the eldest brother, he is innocent. He has worked hard to gain fame. If his biological mother's virtue is not good, how good will his reputation be? It will be difficult for you to become an official in the future!

Doesn’t the second mistress value these two children the most? Could it be that in order to keep a so-called secret, she doesn’t even care about the future of these two children? "

Yulan stopped smiling: "Third girl, our eldest young master and second girl are not kind to you! How can you harm them?!"

"I didn't harm them." Qin Hanzhen rolled his eyes at her, "If you didn't say anything, I didn't know that the matter would be related to the second uncle's so-called handle. Even if there was any news, it would be completely false.

Unintentional. It’s all your second grandma’s fault. Why did she leave the situation in the hands of outsiders and refuse to tell her family and didn’t do any work to deal with the aftermath? Even the confidants around her don’t know what to do.

It was really for the good of the master, and we only helped him hide it. As a result, we offended the Pei family without knowing it. Even if someone really harmed the eldest brother and second sister, it should be the Pei family."

Yulan was choked. She was shocked that Qin Han was so shameless. But she really didn't dare to take the risk, so she could only soften her tone: "Third Miss... what are you planning to do when you ask about our second grandma?"

Woolen cloth?"

Qin Hanzhen said: "It depends on how serious your second mistress's handle is. If it's just a small matter, then find a way to investigate the Pei family's handle. If each of us has the other's handle, we can restrict each other. If we don't move, they will also

If we don't dare to move, we can live in peace with each other. But if it's a big deal, then I can only spend more effort to stabilize the Pei family first. They want to marry the fourth sister, it must be for profit, as long as they can satisfy

In their interests, it probably doesn't matter whether the marriage partner is the fourth sister. As long as the result satisfies them, they will not reveal the truth about your second grandma, and then we will slowly find ways to deal with his family. I heard that Duke Pei can no longer hold on.

How long will it take? Once he dies, the Pei family will no longer be worth mentioning. When the time comes to find out what’s behind their family, how can they be manipulated?”

Qin Jinchun smiled bitterly at the side: "I also feel that I am not a fairy from heaven, and the Pei family will not give up the benefits they have obtained just to ask to marry me. However, it would be great if we could not go to this step. I am not happy.

How can you bear to see innocent people jumping into this pit of fire when you marry into that kind of family?"

Qin Hanzhen said: "No one can bear to let innocent people jump into the trap, but there are still less innocent people in the world. Fourth sister, don't worry, let's find out what's going on first."

Qin Jinchun's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of someone.

Yulan didn't know who Qin Jinchun was thinking of. After hearing Qin Hanzhen's words, she hesitated for a while, then gritted her teeth and asked, "If I tell the third girl about the matter, will the third girl mention it in front of our second grandma?"

Qin Hanzhen raised his eyebrows: "If you are willing to be my informant, of course I will not betray you. But you have to be smart and don't expose your secrets in front of your second mistress."

Yulan looked at Qin Jinchun again, and Qin Jinchun said: "This is for my marriage. If you are willing to tell me the truth, you saved me. Why should I have trouble with you?"

Yulan felt more at ease now, looked around and saw no one around, and took a deep breath: "Second Grandma's matter... is actually an old thing, and it wasn't really a deal-breaker. But Grandma Pei was confused and became impatient and said no.

To be clear, our second grandmother has no choice but to..."

Yao's problem is actually very simple. In the past, when the Wang family was still in power, she was in charge of the central government, and money was tight for a time. In order to increase her income, she secretly asked her companion to leave usury money for a period of time. She did not do it alone.

There are several other female family members who are partners in this business, including cousins ​​from the Yao family and relatives and friends from other families. Grandma Pei is related to the Yao family because her family is related to the husband of a married girl from the Yao family.

The crooked in-laws were always very knowledgeable and got along well with her, so she got a share. At that time, Grandma Pei had not yet taken over the power of the middle-income family, her income was limited, and money was still a bit tight.

Later, the Wang family declined, and two of the female members of the partnership went out with their husbands. Mrs. Yao was afraid that others would find out and affect her reputation, so she closed the stall. Grandma Pei was actually a little reluctant to let go, but she

At that time, he had just taken over the power of the central government of Duke Pei's palace and had to start worrying about the marriage of his two children. He could no longer be distracted, so he followed the Yao family and stopped getting involved in the loan business.

Grandma Pei wholeheartedly wanted to marry her daughter to Qin Jian, but her daughter was thinking about Crown Prince Cai. When Prince Cai got married, she gave up and started thinking about other sons of the Cai family instead. Her daughter was disobedient, and Grandma Pei was thinking

She was angry and anxious, and her son's marriage was even more unsatisfactory. She was in a bad temper, and when she saw that Mr. Yao was trying to prevaricate her again, but refused to agree to let Qin Jian marry Pei Yin, she impulsively disclosed the loan sharking incident that year.

He took it out to threaten Yao.

Originally, this matter had already happened several years ago. As long as the servants of the two families who knew about it were not severely punished, there would be no evidence of any crime. However, Grandma Pei claimed that the account books from that year were still with her, and the superiors clearly

The amount and object of Yao's loan are written in plain text, and even the signature of the person handling it is included. Take it out to ensure that it is accurate. What's worse is that the current reigning Dali Temple Qingtang, Qin Jinhua's future father-in-law, has a name on his resume.

An important achievement was the crackdown on loan sharking in the capital, which was so effective that he received a commendation from the emperor.

Even if Grandma Pei's words cannot convict the Yao family, Qin Jinhua has not yet passed the marriage, and the biological mother has received such a stigma. How will she live in her husband's family in the future? What if the Tang family cares about this and breaks off the engagement directly, Cheng'en

The Hou Mansion also has nothing to say. And by then, what else can Qin Jinhua find for a good marriage?

Although Mrs. Yao was angry at Grandma Pei's threat, she still gave in because it was a matter of life for her daughter.
