After a few people made plans, they started to act after dinner.
Yu Yiluo originally wanted to go out with them, but they seemed to know what she was thinking and would not let her go out no matter what.
She had no choice but to wait in the room. After about an hour, the door was opened and Qin Qianqian and others walked in from outside. With them was a man in black who was covered with a sack.
After bringing the person into the house and closing the door, Qin Qianqian raised her eyebrows at the Sixth Princess.
"Well, I told you we'd catch them."
The Sixth Princess curled her lips.
"That was also thanks to Sister Xue's medicine. Although you also contributed, it wasn't a big one."
Mu Xue interrupted the two people's quarrel and said, "Take off his sack."
Qin Qianqian stepped forward, took off the sack, and then pulled off the veil on the man in black's face, revealing his uncovered face.
Looking at the familiar person in front of her, Du Shuyan stood up in disbelief, "Aunt Feng, why is it you?"
She shook her head and said, "No, Aunt Feng, your martial arts skills are not that high. It is impossible for you to be so capable as to kill someone in the Heavenly Prison without leaving any evidence."
Feng Yi was hit by the muscle softening powder given by Qin Qianqian. Now she had no strength in her body. Without anyone to support her, she fell directly to the ground.
"Yan'er, this is a long story."
She struggled to stand up with her hands. Seeing this, Mu Xue came forward, took out a porcelain bottle and let her smell it at the tip of her nose.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was someone I knew before."
Mu Xue turned around and sat down. Feng Yi took a while to feel that she had regained some strength. Du Shuyan helped her sit on the chair.
"Aunt Feng, why do you keep following me? Didn't you leave the capital?"
Feng Yi's eyes were red and tears flowed silently.
Realizing she had lost her composure, she wiped away her tears and said, "The person who followed you wasn't me, but my younger brother, Feng Yue, who was saved by your mother that year."
She had thought her brother was dead all these years, but she unexpectedly found out that he was still alive some time ago. She happily took him back, but he told her that he would not live long, so he did not go to look for her.
It was also at that time that she found out that Yan'er was Du Yiyi's daughter.
"What about your brother?"
"He's dead. After he came down from the cliff and learned that your mother was dead, he wanted to avenge her, so he killed everyone who had harmed your mother. After his revenge, he wanted to protect you secretly, but his health deteriorated and he eventually passed away."
Du Shuyan took out a handkerchief and handed it to Feng Yi, "I'm sorry, I didn't know and couldn't see him for the last time."
"It's okay. He said that he has no regrets in his life as long as he can avenge your mother."
Feng Yi held the handkerchief that Du Shuyan handed over.
"I returned to Beijing this time to look for the things your mother left behind and to give her some comfort."
In order to come up from the bottom of the cliff to see Du Yiyi, the younger brother even went to the extent of learning an evil skill that could greatly increase his internal strength. However, he didn't expect that she had passed away, and now he could only take some of Du Yiyi's things to be buried with her to ease his regret.
In fact, she knew that although he said he had no regrets, he must be blaming himself in his heart for not coming up earlier.
"I'll go and see where Aunt Feng plans to bury him."
"No need. Actually, I didn't intend to let you know about this, Yan'er. I just didn't expect to be caught by you."
Feng Yi looked much older this time than when she left the palace, and her well-maintained face had a few wrinkles.
"Okay, I won't go."
Du Shuyan took out a necklace from her pocket and handed it to Feng Yi, "This is something my mother left behind. It was very important to her. You can take it."
"This is the silk thread my younger brother made."
Feng Yi stroked the silk thread on her hand, which she had taught her younger brother to make when they were children.
"That's perfect, it's back to its rightful owner."
After getting the things, Feng Yi stood up and said, "Yan'er, I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself. If you are wronged in the Second Prince's Mansion in the future, you must tell Aunt Feng and Aunt Feng will help you get justice."
After sending Feng Yi away, Qin Qianqian sighed.
"I didn't expect this result, so I went back."
It was too late outside, so Yu Yiluo did not return to the palace. Instead, she went back to the princess's residence with the Sixth Princess to sleep.
…
Qin Qianqian returned home and found it brightly lit. Then she suddenly remembered that her cousin and aunt would come home today.
She walked into the main hall and immediately noticed the two people in simple clothes sitting at the table.
The woman seemed to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing a plain jacket. Her hair was not adorned with red hairpins, but was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin. Her skin was not very fair, but her appearance was still pretty.
When Qin Qianqian looked at Liu Qian, Liu Qian was also looking at her.
When she came to Beijing, she heard a lot about Qin Qianqian, which made her think that this cousin was an unattractive and rude person. Unexpectedly, it was just the opposite.
She looked very charming in a light yellow dress, and wore a cape of similar color.
She had a bun on her head with a butterfly hairpin on it. She didn't look as arrogant and domineering as the rumors said.
Liu Qian tightened her grip on the chopsticks, lowered her eyes and looked at the best clothes on her body, feeling a surge of jealousy.
Because they were going to Beijing, she and her mother put on their best clothes. But when they entered the Qin Mansion, they found that the clothes they thought were the best were not even as good as those of the servants.
Compared with the eldest lady Qin Qianqian, there is no comparison at all. The dress and cloak Qin Qianqian is wearing are probably something her mother cannot afford even if she farms for a lifetime.
"This is Qianqian, she's really pretty."
Mrs. Deng looked at Qin Qianqian with a smile on her face, "I am your aunt, and this is your cousin Liu Qian."
Qin Qianqian took off her cloak and handed it to the maid, then walked towards the few people and greeted them gracefully.
"Aunt, cousin."
"Where have you been, kid? I was waiting for you to come back for dinner, but you haven't shown up yet. Aren't you afraid that I'll worry about you?"
Mrs. Qin pulled Qin Qianqian to sit down with a look of reproach and handed her a bowl of hot soup.
"Drink this to warm yourself up, and don't go out when it's cold."
Qin Qianqian took the soup with a smile, "Thank you, mother. I ate at Sister Xue's place."
"Auntie made so many delicious dishes, please have some, cousin."
Liu Qian felt jealous when she saw how concerned Mrs. Qin was about Qin Qianqian.
"You eat, don't worry about Qianqian," Lord Qin greeted the two and looked at Qin Qianqian, "If you don't want to eat, don't eat, otherwise you'll complain about stomach discomfort again tonight."
After the meal, Liu Qian rinsed and wiped her mouth like Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin thought about the two people's fatigue from the journey and said softly, "Sister and Qian'er must have been exhausted from the journey. I have asked someone to clean up the house. Now, can someone take you to rest?"
"Aunt, my mother and I didn't bring many clothes when we came here. Can you let Qianqian take my mother and me to buy some clothes tomorrow?"
Seeing her daughter say this, Mrs. Deng quickly agreed.
"We have simple clothes. If we don't buy some nice clothes, we might embarrass our sister if we go out."
Qin Qianqian frowned slightly, and was very displeased with Deng's calculating look.
"Don't worry, sister. I'll have someone make two sets for you tomorrow. As for Qian'er's, it's already been made."
