I told her to be on guard, but I didn't expect Yanzhu to be so cautious.
She would test for poison with a silver needle for anything sent from the kitchen.
"Yanzhu..." Qin Nanjing hesitated and said, "Actually, it doesn't have to be like this."
They probably aren't stupid enough to put obvious poison in their daily diet.
"Madam, I'm still worried. Tomorrow I'll ask someone to build a small kitchen in the main courtyard so we can cook our own meals."
Yan Zhu obviously didn't hear her words and continued to talk to himself:
"And that rockery in the pond, it looks like a water ghost at night. I'll throw it away soon..."
She pointed at the yard and decided to make major changes to the main courtyard and find a Taoist priest to set up a feng shui town.
"Madam, the eldest lady is back." The servant outside reported.
Only then did Yan Zhu calm down.
"Mom..." Rong Xuqing jumped into the house.
"What good thing happened to you that makes you so happy?"
Seeing her cheerful look, Qin Nanjing asked.
Rong Xuqing has been calm and composed since childhood, and only becomes lively when he is particularly happy.
"Nothing?" Rong Xuqing immediately straightened his posture and sat down aside.
"Has Chaoxi fallen asleep again?"
Qin Nanjing nodded slightly, and suddenly found that Rong Xuqing was wearing a plain hairpin on her head.
"Did you buy this jade hairpin yourself?"
Rong Xuqing's clothes were all made by Qin Nanjing herself, but the one on her head was something she had never seen before.
Rong Xuqing subconsciously raised her hand and touched it, her face slightly red.
"Was it a gift from someone else?" Qin Nanjing noticed her daughter's shyness and asked with a smile.
"Ah...that's it..." Rong Xuqing stammered for a long time and couldn't say anything.
Qin Nanjing knew at a glance that this man had a lover.
The first day of July is Rong Xuqing’s coming-of-age day.
Originally, I wanted to take her to a banquet for ladies in the capital to select a suitable young man.
I never thought that I would fall in love with her first.
"Which young master is it?"
Rong Xuqing blushed completely at this point, and said shyly, "It's... Tian Luowen, the eldest son of the Chief Censor Tian."
A fifth-rank official.
Qin Nanjing frowned slightly.
That means marrying down.
Rong Xuqing is weak in character and easily deceived and suffers losses.
Qin Nanjing originally wanted to choose her future husband from the family of an official of the third rank or above, neither too high nor too low, just a perfect match.
With her grandfather, Qin Taifu, behind her, she will definitely not be bullied.
Seeing her daughter seemed to be obsessed, Qin Nanjing asked:
"Don't you want to take another look? Weren't you good friends with the second son of Minister Lin's family?"
Rong Xuqing was such an insightful person that he knew his mother was afraid that he would be deceived.
"Mom, Luo Wen... Young Master Tian is a very good person. This time when we went to Wanfo Temple, we encountered bandits. Fortunately, Young Master Tian saved my daughter from being kidnapped."
After she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong. She covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Qin Nanjing cautiously.
"How could such a thing happen!" Qin Nanjing slammed the table and stood up, her face already furious. "Why didn't you return immediately? Why did you stay in that dangerous place for two months?"
After Rong Yubai got into trouble, Qin Nanjing attached great importance to the safety of the others. Any slight mistake would make her worried.
That's why Rong Xuqing kept this matter a secret.
"Mom, it's okay. Look, I'm fine now." Rong Xuqing quickly served tea to calm his mother down.
"I've told you so many times, go home immediately if there's any danger. After your brother got into trouble, you know, mother..." As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes.
Rong Yubai's paralysis and dementia is a lifelong pain for Qin Nanjing.
If she had been more careful, she would not have allowed her eldest son to be poisoned.
Although the murderer was quickly found and executed, her child was ruined.
"Mom, I'm really fine. Master Tian also escorted me back. We are safe." Rong Xuqing comforted her carefully.
"Madam, the eldest lady is fine now, please don't hurt yourself." Yan Zhu also advised.
Rong Xuqing knew that his mother had always blamed him for not taking good care of his younger brother.
In order not to worry his mother, he never left Beijing unless necessary and rarely went out at night.
"Mom, I won't do that next time, please don't be angry..."
"Madam, the young lady is awake." Luo Kui came out quickly, holding Chao Xi in her arms. "But she's making such a fuss for some reason."
I saw the little baby in Luo Kui's arms screaming "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".
Waving his little hands and kicking his legs, Luo Kui almost couldn't be held.
[No, no, absolutely not...]
"What's wrong with Chaoxi? Are you hungry?"
Qin Nanjing put her hands under the little guy's armpits, raised them high and then put them down.
The little guy finally stopped making trouble.
Sometimes, she would suddenly say something like "No" or "That's not right...", but would not say anything else.
Qin didn't know how to let her continue, and almost asked directly several times.
Every time I have to wait anxiously and feel very itchy.
Look, there is no further news.
"Mother, if...if it's possible..." Rong Xuqing saw her mother's face improve, "On my coming-of-age birthday, I want to invite Master Tian to celebrate my birthday..."
[No! Absolutely not!]
Rong Chaoxi refused sternly, but he was speechless.
She was so anxious...she was babbling and drooling.
Rong Xuqing had heard her sister's thoughts several times, and each time she was lazy. This was the first time she saw her so anxious.
Qin Nanjing put the man down and wiped the saliva off his face.
I was also crying out in my heart: Stop saying no, no, no, just continue!
"No, Mom, I can't like that guy! He's a liar!"
