"Princess Lingfu must be extraordinary. If I don't say anything else, let's just say that after she came, she avenged your nephew. Our family should think carefully about the princess's choice of this inkstone. If there is a deep meaning, that is If we are asked to be the direct ministers who dare to speak out and do things for the princess, we must repay the princess." Mrs. Zhou tapped her fingers on the table and said solemnly.
When the matter of his nephew was mentioned, Qin Zheng's face couldn't help but become solemn.
His nephew Qin Xuesong was entangled by Shen Shuxuan's plan and was forced to marry Shen Shuxuan. He was obviously a famous talent, but he wasted time because of this unfortunate marriage, and he wasted nearly nine years of good time.
It would be fine if Shen Shuxuan was willing to live with him honestly.
However, in the end, it was discovered that Shen Shuxuan was not only having an affair with Gao Yuanzhi, but also asked the Qin family to raise a daughter for this pair of bastards for eight years.
It's also my fault that the Qin family is too stupid.
Six months after Shen Shuxuan married into the Qin family, she gave birth to Qin Shiyi. It was said that she gave birth prematurely because she was pushed by Xuesong.
Now it seems that the push by Xuesong was simply a deliberate trick by Shen Shuxuan in order to create the illusion of premature birth. It was to cover up that Qin Shiyi was not Xuesong's biological daughter at all, but Shen Shuxuan's daughter. The wild species born to Gao Yuanzhi...
At this time, the more Qin Zheng thought about this incident, the more aggrieved he felt.
It's a pity that such a smart person as Xuesong was fooled by someone like Shen Shuxuan.
In the end, because Shen Shuxuan was backed by Shen Guogong's government, and Shen Qingrong was using his second-rank official position as the official envoy of Liangzhe Road to force the Qin family to change their words and forcefully say that Xiu had given up. Peace and separation.
The Qin family has endured their anger for so many years, but all they got was deception.
It wasn't until early this morning that they heard that Princess Lingfu ordered Shen Shuxuan to be executed last night, and they felt that their feelings suddenly became okay.
"What mother said makes sense, but even if you want to serve as Princess Lingfu's direct minister, I'm afraid only the second brother can do it. The eldest brother is an official in the capital far away, and the second brother is in Xinzhou Mansion, and is in charge of punishment. When I go there today If you meet the little princess and talk to her, you will know if she wants us to do something, but do you want to ask the second brother about this first?" Qin Zheng asked.
"There is no need to ask him. I will tell him when he comes back later. Just go to Duke Shen's mansion and wait. When Princess Lingfu returns, I will personally deliver this inkstone." Mrs. Zhou made her decision quickly.
Qin Zheng followed Mrs. Zhou's arrangement and set out near dusk to wait outside Duke Shen's mansion.
Yu Jiujiu also had a great day playing with Yu Jin and the others.
I went back when it got dark.
"The common people pay homage to the princess." Qin Zheng was followed by the shopkeeper of Gu Zhengzhai. As soon as he saw Yu Jiu Jiu appear, he immediately stepped forward to salute.
"Who are you?" Yu Jiujiu glanced at the shopkeeper of Gu Zhengzhai, and then fell on Qin Zheng. Although he asked this question, he already knew his identity.
"Back to the princess, Cao Min is the boss of Gu Zhengzhai. I heard from the shopkeeper that the princess liked this inkstone, so she specially sent it here. This inkstone is rare and is an old thing of the previous prime minister. This prime minister dedicated his life to the world. It's a pity. He died unjustly and grievously, but I think, even so, he never regretted what he did." Qin Zheng bowed slightly, with a respectful attitude, a fair and elegant face, and a decent and confident smile at the corner of his mouth.
He lowered his head slightly, but his eyes looked directly at Yu Jiujiu from time to time, almost telling her that he had already guessed her intention in choosing this inkstone.
The corners of Yu Jiujiu's pink lips also curled up.
She glanced at the brocade box he held in both hands and knew that what was inside was the inkstone.
However, she said: "I wanted this inkstone during the day, but I didn't expect that this inkstone has such an unlucky story. Are you making insinuations and humiliating my father for not being a wise man? I don't want this inkstone." Alright, let’s go.”
After saying that, she turned around and walked into the gate of Duke Shen's mansion.
Hearing this, Yu and Jin glanced at Qin Zheng, then turned and walked away.
A trace of surprise flashed across Qin Zheng's eyes.
Could it be that the Qin family was really wrong?
Princess Lingfu's words were simply a humiliation to him...
Qin Zheng subconsciously stepped forward to chase after him. The next moment, a purple figure stopped in front of him.
Ziying raised her chin slightly, looked at him, raised her hand and pushed his chest: "What are you doing? Our princess asked you to leave, and you still dare to follow? Be careful, I will slap you twice!"
After saying that, she gave Qin Zheng a warning look, then turned and walked away.
Soon, only a few masters and servants of Qin Zheng were left at the door of Duke Shen's mansion.
"Third Master, this..." Gu Zhengzhai's shopkeeper was a little stunned.
He also didn't expect that the little princess, who had a sweet, well-behaved, polite smile during the day, would turn so violently now, as if she had become a completely different person.
"Forget it, Princess Lingfu is right. The inkstone was stained with blood, which was indeed unlucky. She wanted to give it to the emperor, so it was indeed inappropriate." Qin Zheng shook his head and handed over the brocade box in his hand. To the shopkeeper, staring at the closed door of Duke Shen's mansion, he said.
"But..." Gu Zhengzhai's shopkeeper wanted to say something else.
"Being scolded by her is a trivial matter. If she makes her unhappy, it will be a big deal if we are dealt with. We are already lucky. Let's go back." Qin Zheng interrupted him, said this, and turned around Got on the carriage.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper of Gu Zhengzhai could only sigh helplessly and followed with a puzzled look on his face.
The two were riding in a carriage together.
Qin Zheng closed his eyes and fell asleep all the way without saying a word.
Gu Zhengzhai's shopkeeper was also afraid of disturbing his mood, so he didn't dare to speak any more along the way.
It wasn't until the carriage arrived at the door of Gu Zhengzhai that the shopkeeper looked at the brocade box and then cautiously asked: "Third Master, this inkstone..."
"This inkstone has been said to be unlucky by Princess Lingfu. It can no longer be sold in the shop. It is also not good for other customers to see it. I will take it back and dispose of it." Qin Zheng said lightly.
The shopkeeper nodded and got off the car at the door of Gu Zhengzhai.
The carriage turned around and Qin Zheng returned to Qin's house alone.
However, what Gu Zhengzhai's shopkeeper didn't know was that almost as soon as he got off the carriage and the curtain dropped to block his sight, Qin Zheng immediately touched his arms.
The young girl in purple had just pushed her inside the skirt of her clothes.
The little girl was extremely skilled, and with lightning speed, she stuffed a note into him.
