Aftermath

It was a coincidence that Xu Rong met Qin Jinyi. He went to play in the garden with his cousins ​​from the Qin and Lu families. When he was tired and cold, he went back to have tea and rest. Unexpectedly, there was no one in the Kurong Hall.

, there were only a few young ladies serving tea. He went out to look for someone in confusion, and happened to see the ladies escorting Qin Jinyi out.

Qin Jinyi struggled hard and spent a lot of effort getting into the carriage. Although the women had the strength, they did not dare to go all out to catch her. After all, this was a legitimate girl and the second wife.

Everyone knows what kind of person the second wife, Mrs. Xue, is. It would be bad if Ms.

Qin Jinyi sent the carriage. Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhao Mo and Xu Zheng came out of the inner courtyard together and happened to encounter this scene.

Qin Jinyi became excited again. After she entered the carriage, she got rid of the shackles of the women, and threw away the gagged handkerchief in her mouth. When she saw Xu Zheng, she cried and asked him why he was so ruthless to her. She

I just admire him...

Xu Zheng was so embarrassed and angry that he didn't bother to pay attention to her. He turned around and entered the Kurong Hall. It was Zhao Mo who reminded the women escorting the car, so they quickly found a silk scarf and tied up Qin Jinyi in the carriage.

She put her hands together and blocked her mouth again, so that when the carriage left the house, she would not carelessly start shouting on the street. At that time, the Qin family's reputation would be ruined.

However, when such a thing happened, the ladies were a little confused as to what to do, so they had to go back and ask for instructions from Mrs. Yao to temporarily move the carriage to the carriage yard. Otherwise, if it had been parked in the front yard, there would always be someone.

People passing by saw it and became suspicious.

When Xu Rong saw this scene, he was curious and asked his brother Xu Zheng, but Xu Zheng kept silent. He was full of doubts and wanted to go back to the garden. He happened to meet Qin Hanzhen, Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinchun, three sisters.

I asked casually.

Qin Hanzhen and the other three looked at each other, a little embarrassed. What Qin Jinyi did was really hard to talk about in front of others, not to mention that Xu Zheng was the one who suffered. Furthermore, they had actually known for a long time that Qin Jinyi was plotting against him, but they

Without warning in advance, he just used him to set a trap and allowed Qin Jinyi to jump in. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he felt sorry for Xu Zheng. Although he was not very smart and alert, he still agreed not to tell the truth after suffering a loss.

, he can be regarded as a kind and kind gentleman. Therefore, Qin Hanzhen and the other three were embarrassed to mention the truth to Xu Rong.

Qin Jinhua blushed and said, "Something happened...actually, actually..."

Qin Hanzhen cleared his throat and took over the conversation fluently: "Actually, it's nothing. The eldest sister had a quarrel with the eldest uncle. The eldest uncle got very angry and wanted to punish his daughter severely, so he sent the eldest sister away.

Go to Zhuangzi to rest for a while. We... and your brother were all there at the time. No one expected to encounter such a thing, and everyone felt embarrassed. Speaking of which, this is all our Qin family's housework, you

My brother didn’t tell you because he was being kind, so don’t ask in detail.”

After Qin Jinhua heard this, he immediately calmed down a lot: "Yes, that's right."

Xu Rong could clearly see that they didn't mean what they said, but he was never one to make girls angry. Since they insisted on hiding it, why did he bother to find out? He smiled and said: "I see. Then I won't ask." Instead.

Talking about other topics, "Where have my two sisters gone? I heard before that they went to your yard, but I didn't see you with them."

Qin Jinhua replied calmly: "Fifth sister took Cousin Lu to play in her yard, and the two cousins ​​​​Xu also followed. I don't know if they are still there at the moment. Let's go back to Songfeng Hall to take a look first."

Xu Rong smiled and followed them to Songfeng Hall. As expected, he saw Qin Jinrong, Lu Yueniang, Xu Xiu, and Xu Lan all in the Nuan Pavilion, sitting around talking. Qin Jinrong saw them coming back and pursed her lips: "Where are you going, sisters?"

I haven’t come back for a long time. Where can you be such a host? Just leave the guests and ignore them!"

Qin Jinhua smiled and leaned over and said, "We were just looking for a quiet place to talk. We haven't seen our fourth sister for a while. I was so happy chatting that I didn't pay attention to the time. I really neglected several cousins ​​and invited the sisters.

Don't be offended."

Lu Yueniang pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't listen to the fifth sister's complaints. In fact, we had a great time and didn't think about you at all."

Qin Jinrong immediately smiled proudly: "Yes, we are having fun, it doesn't matter even if you are not here! Originally, cousin Xu wanted to come find you, but cousin Lu said that it would be more comfortable to play with fewer people, so we don't

We need you!"

The Xu sisters looked at them and giggled, looking really happy. Qin Hanzhen looked at them for a few times, thinking that they probably didn't notice what happened to their brother, right? Xu Xiu

I'm lucky that I didn't actually come to find them.

Xu Rong came over and said, "What do you have to do? It's just sewing and talking about household chores. At most, it's just adding another nine-ring chain. What's the point? Why don't we play games?"

Qin Jinrong asked quickly: "What game are you playing?"

Xu Rong's suggestions were all about throwing pots, shooting, etc., both civil and military, but none of the little girls present were interested. The former was too tiring, and the latter was too tiring. Qin Hanzhen suggested: "Play

Promotion map, right? I remember my second sister said that she got a new set of promotion map, but she hasn’t played with it yet.”

Qin Jinhua nodded in cooperation and immediately ordered Baxia to get the promotion map. A room full of little girls took Xu Rong with them, so they sat around and started playing. It was quite fun until Mrs. Xu, the Marquis of Chengen, brought her daughter

Qin Youyi came out of the back room with a somewhat serious expression on her face. Yongjia Marquis Qin Bai and his wife Niu Shi returned to the long room again and started the dinner party. They just stopped playing games.

The dinner was sumptuous, and the fireworks after the banquet were also very beautiful. Except for the insiders who had been to Wanxinzhai, almost everyone who came to the Chengenhou Mansion today, including the in-laws and guests, returned home happily, and no one noticed that there had been

What unpleasant things happened? As for what will happen after everyone returns home, that is not something Qin Han really can know.

She only heard that before evening, the carriage transporting Qin Jinyi had left the city. Yao sent his confidants Chang Xing and his wife to escort the carriage, along with several strong women. Where did they stop and where did they go along the way?

The overnight stay has been decided. She wants to secretly send Qin Jinyi to Zhuangzi in Huairou County. It is a hundred miles away from the capital and the place is remote. It is a newly purchased property after the separation of the family. Even the Xue family of the second room cannot be found.

people.

The two girls, Hualou and Nongying, are now being detained separately to prevent the news from leaking out. When Mrs. Yao heard the inside story of the whole incident from her children, she was also shocked and couldn't help but poke fun at them.

The forehead of a child. She was not angry that they were plotting against Qin Jinyi. After all, it was Qin Jinyi who had bad intentions in the first place. She just blamed them. Why didn't she tell her mother the truth? If she had known it earlier, there would be no need to bother. She could just

Come to the door and expose Qin Jinyi!

However, now that things have happened, Mrs. Yao has to finish the work for her children. The two girls in the second room, one is foolish and loyal, and the other is a sensible person but has betrayed her master. Neither of them can be used.

It would not be difficult for Nong Ying to ask her to leave her nationality and get married. Qin Bofu has promised to send their family's deeds over, and then they will just find a village to settle them in. Nong Ying's family can be sent there

Go out of town, far away from the capital, and then let them go, lest someone in their family comes back to the second room and says something they shouldn't say; while the Hualou family just finds a village and lets them fend for themselves. This is the result.

, it is better than them going back to the second room to be punished.

But the situation of Zhu Lou and Huichun was different. Mrs. Yao deeply hated Huichun for being unfaithful and almost ruined her daughter's reputation, so she would never let him go leniently. She had already made an agreement with Qin Jinchun to let the latter

Tomorrow morning, I will find out Huichun's body deed and send it to the eldest brother's house. Yao will sell Huichun far away this time, and will have to find a remote and difficult place to sell it. Zhu Lou is a commoner,

Another different result. Yao forced him to sign a deed of betrayal and planned to send him to the government after the year to turn Zhu Lou into a slave. He would be dealt with at that time. Currently, he is being sent to the government temporarily.

He was guarded by Zhuangzi in the suburbs and did some hard work to atone for his sins. As for what his fate will be in the future, it all depends on luck and his own performance. Zhu Lou regretted coming to swim in this muddy water, but he was unable to resist the high-ranking family.

In order to be coerced, there is no other way to think of except obeying orders honestly, performing actively, and striving to gain leniency from the masters.

When the second room went to the eldest room early in the morning, they brought so many people with them. Who knew that when they came back at night, a lot of people were missing, including Qin Jinyi. Xiao Xue was shocked when she saw this, and asked hurriedly what happened.

Something happened.

Qin Bofu was so drunk, how could he answer her? Xiao Xue had no choice but to send someone to send Qin Bofu to Aunt Fang's yard, leaving her to wait on her husband. However, she called her youngest daughter Qin Jinchun back to the room to ask for details.

Qin Jinchun concealed the truth that he knew in advance and told his mother everything about the "accident" that happened in the Wanxinzhai of Chengenhou Mansion that afternoon, and then said: "My father was very angry with my eldest sister, so he directly

I asked the second aunt to send someone to take the eldest sister to Zhuangzi outside the city and imprison her. I didn’t even dare to plead for the eldest sister. Fortunately, the second aunt arranged for someone to wait on the eldest sister. She also said that the village did not understand hardship and would not let the eldest sister.

Therefore, my mother relaxed her mind for the time being and went to the countryside to relax. Logically speaking, if she did such a scandal today, she should be taught a lesson. Otherwise, if she is allowed to continue her mischief, she will get into trouble.

What kind of disaster is going to happen? My father will lose his official position in the next year, and our family cannot withstand any more setbacks!"

Little Xue's eyes felt dark and she almost couldn't catch her breath. After a while, she choked up and started crying: "What a curse! Why did I give birth to such a curse?!" She broke down in sobs.

After crying, Xiao Xue became discouraged again and no longer wanted to interfere with her eldest daughter's affairs. As Qin Jinchun said, Qin Jinyi should learn a lesson. How can she still be as lovable as she was when she was a child? She is simply crazy.

Got it!

Little Xue didn't even have the energy to tell her mother-in-law. Qin Jinchun mentioned the personal contracts of several servants, and she let her little daughter handle it on her own. Anyway, Qin Jinchun had been helping her with the housekeeping recently, and she gradually became familiar with the affairs of the family.

, she doesn’t have to come forward to do anything small.

Qin Jinchun was happy to come out and clean up the traces she had left. However, she also remembered something that her eldest cousin Qin Jian had reminded her. She looked at the direction across the courtyard to the west, then turned around and approached Xiao Xue.

In his ear, he whispered: "Mother, there are too few children in our family. My father wants my eldest sister to become a monk, and brother Xun obviously doesn't have the same heart as us. Do you think... is he taking advantage of the fact that his father is about to go home and stay idle for a while?

Did he choose a concubine with a gentle and honest temperament, and add one or two children?"
