After the Battle of King Qin, Qin Liang already knew the inside story. At that time, both Xiahou Xuan and Xiahou Ba wanted to attack Sima Yi in Luoyang. Probably Qin Liang guessed that Sima Shi poisoned his wife and it really played a role in provoking the rebellion.
Xia Houxuan's suspicion was eliminated.
But Guo Huai just wanted to wait and see, which was why Xia Houxuan and others failed to raise troops in time.
Therefore, how much does Guo Huai value his in-law relationship with the Wang family? Guo Huai is first of all a Bingzhou nobleman. What he considers is the survival of his own family, and others are not that important. At the critical moment, Guo Huai behaved unreliably.
But that was all in the past.
After Sima Yi's defeat, the leader of the Bingzhou Hedong gentry was Wang Ling. The Bingzhou gentry had no other choice, and Guo Huai's first wife was Wang Ling's sister, so Guo Huai seemed to be reliable again!
Things are always changing. For a dead man like Sima Yi, a group that has collapsed, can people's loyalty still exist? Especially the loyalty of nobles, others already have their own strength.
Therefore, Guo Huai is indeed very important to the Wang family. Guo Huai is not the only feudal official among the Hedong gentry in Bingzhou who has the governorship of two states. There is also Wang Chang, the governor of Jingyu and Yuzhou. But Guo Huai should be the most capable and powerful.
people.
After Qin Liang understood this, he secretly understood his father-in-law Gongyuan's mood.
Wang Guang knelt down at the banquet, raised his head and sighed again. Seeing this, Qin Liang said: "The deceased is gone. My uncle, I express my condolences."
Seeing that Wang Guang just nodded in response and showed no interest in chatting, Qin Liang said again: "I'll go see your lord and come back later."
Wang Guangdao: "Your grandfather is going back to Yishouli today. Zhongming will stay in the mansion. Let's have lunch together as a family later."
Qin Liang replied "Okay" and bowed to Wang Guang to say goodbye.
Qin Liang and Wang Lingjun Xuanji see each other every day, and they don't have to pay attention to what his wife is doing all the time. He just made an excuse to leave the front hall.
Because Wang Guang was in a bad mood, Qin Liang felt a little bored being with him, and of course he was not in the mood to accompany his father-in-law, where he was grieving the death of Guo Huai.
Qin Liang was very familiar with the Wang family's residence, but it was someone else's house after all, so he didn't know what to do for a while. So he made an impromptu decision and walked towards the kitchen, turning his excuse into action, and went to talk to Lingjun to relieve his boredom.
.
He walked through the mansion with ease, and soon came to the spacious kitchen. Looking back at the scene in the kitchen, he did not see his wife. There was only one beautiful woman in the kitchen, and she was Bai.
Bai was Sima Yi's concubine. Qin Liang had never seen her when she was at Sima's house; but later he met her at the Wang family's residence and heard about her.
I saw that she was indeed young and beautiful, with an upright and generous face and a pointed chin that looked somewhat beautiful. Such a young and beautiful woman was willing to devote herself to Sima Yi and Wang Ling. No wonder the world is crazy about power; powerful people
People, even bad old men, can have many things.
Bai Shi is beautiful, but Qin Liang has no shortage of beauties now, so he just took a look.
Mrs. Bai turned her head and glanced at Qin Liang, and immediately wiped her hands on her apron quickly, put her hands on her belly, and gently bent her knees, "I have met General Qin."
This girl is not only beautiful, but also has a charming demeanor. Although she has seen the world, she is shy and timid, with a low eyebrow.
Qin Liang thought that this was the woman Wang Ling had robbed and what her seniority was, so he bowed in return and called her "Auntie". Then he said politely: "Auntie is just busy and doesn't need to worry about me."
Mr. Bai immediately responded: "I'll make the tofu first. I didn't greet you well. General Qin, don't worry."
Others were talking to him, so Qin Liang couldn't be too perfunctory, so he added: "When I come to Wang's house, it's like going home. I don't need to say hello. Auntie can do whatever she wants."
As long as he is not provoked, Qin Liang is quite polite to others.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Bai took the initiative and asked gently: "The ancients said that a gentleman is far away from the kitchen. General Qin is a gentleman, how can he come to the kitchen?"
Qin Liang replied: "I have a few words to say to Zhuo Jing. I came to see your Lord."
Bai glanced out the window, her bright eyes stared at Qin Liang for a moment, and then she looked away and said softly: "She was still here just a moment ago, she probably went to find something."
Qin Liang said: "Nothing, it's not an emergency."
Having said this, he made a gesture to leave.
But Mrs. Bai complained with a hint of petulance: "You don't need to call me aunt, it's so old."
Qin Liang had no choice but to respond: "Seniority has nothing to do with age. Auntie doesn't need to mind."
Bai Shi glanced at him sideways: "You call it that again!"
A look and a few words from this beautiful woman actually made Qin Liang feel a little disturbed. He suddenly felt that something was not right. Bai's voice whispered: "I just take care of your grandpa's food and daily life. Ruwai
My ancestors never said anything about taking concubines, so General Qin really doesn’t need to call me aunt."
Qin Liang then happily changed his words: "That's it, Mrs. Bai."
Mrs. Bai turned around and glanced again, and said softly: "Mrs. Wang will be back in a moment. You will just wait here for a while. I don't need to tell Mrs. Wang that General Qin has been here."
What she said seems to make sense.
Qin Liang then stayed far away and stood at the door of the kitchen, looking back at the outside.
"Pah, pah, pah..." A crisp sound came from the stove. Bai Shi's white hands slapped the linen bag containing soy milk and bean dregs. The content in the bag was still liquid, and it was very elastic after being tightened and swollen.
When hit, it rippled and shook, very dynamic. Then Bo Shi rubbed the bag vigorously, and the four sides of the bag waxed and waned, changing shape, and some milk-colored soy milk was filtered out from the gaps in the fibers.
Qin Liang looked at it seriously, and there was no need to think too much. But Bai's face turned red, and she didn't know if it was because she was a little hot after working. When she pressed the soy milk hard, she gently bit her red lips and occasionally
He glanced at Qin Liang shyly again.
Qin Liang stopped lingering and said, "I'll go outside and take a look."
The snow in the courtyard has not yet melted, and when the cold wind blew, Qin Liang became more awake.
Somehow, he suddenly remembered the story between Diao Chan and Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, which was a classic of the beauty trap. And when he thought about it, there seemed to be some origins. Diao Chan was probably the adopted daughter of Wang Ling's uncle Wang Yun... In fact, he was the adopted daughter of Wang Ling's uncle Wang Yun.
family skills, but the more important family skills are given a higher status.
Of course, Qin Liang was probably overthinking it! It was just his own random thoughts.
Moreover, the honey trap may be useful for people like Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. After all, Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo in the book have been on the border all year round and have seen little of the world; but it will definitely be useless for people like Wang Ling. Wang Ling is not Dong Zhuo, so his reaction may be direct
He wanted to give the Bai family to Qin Liang, but it was really unpleasant and disgraceful to spread the news. Qin Liang was not Lu Bu, so there was no way he would fall into the trap.

(I’m going to take a day off tomorrow, book friends, please forgive me.
According to Zongheng’s perfect attendance award rules, you can have one day in a month that is not updated and it will still count as perfect attendance. I usually have to take one day off every month.
There will be an annual meeting in Zongheng in the middle of next month. I will be delayed for a few days and haven’t saved the manuscript. I can just try to save two chapters while I’m on leave. I hope I can still get the perfect attendance award next month.)
