Qi Yuning picked up Xiao Lingling, whose hair was still loose, and said, "It will take a while to go to Uncle Qin's house. Mommy will take you to wash and comb your hair first."
Lingling said in Qi Yuning's arms, "Lingling can't wait to go to Uncle Qin's house and play."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly, "Lingling can use idioms now, how amazing."
Qi Yuning carried Lingling back to the room, put a red coat on her, and put on the tiger-head hat that Lu Ze bought for her a few days ago.
It is so cute, as if it were carved out of jade.
Qi Yuning wore a dress made of the same material as Lingling's red coat. Standing next to Lingling, they looked more like sisters than mother and daughter.
When they arrived at the Qin family, the old man of the Qin family even came out to greet them, "Princess, little princess."
Qi Yuning bowed and said, "Old Madam, Lingling, call me Qin Zuzu."
Lingling called out obediently, "Grandpa Qin."
Seeing the well-behaved Lingling, Old Lady Qin said, "I've heard you have a daughter for a long time. Seeing her today, I'm sure she's really well-behaved. Your grandmother would definitely be pleased."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Well, I heard that the old lady is celebrating her birthday today, so I specially brought you a fairy peach."
The gift Qi Yuning presented was a white peach carved from white jade. It was smooth and exquisite, and won the heart of Old Lady Qin.
Madam Qin said, "Thank you for your concern, Princess."
Lingling saw Lu Ze entering the mansion with Qin Feng. She wanted to call him "Daddy", but because Qi Yuning had previously said not to call him "Daddy" outside, she walked over to Qin Feng and said, "Uncle Qin, Uncle Lu."
When Lu Ze heard Lingling calling him Uncle Lu, he frowned and picked Lingling up, saying, "From now on, you can call me Daddy outside, but you can't call me Uncle Lu anymore."
Lingling smiled and said, "Yes, Daddy."
Qin Feng smiled faintly when he saw Lingling, "Lingling is so well behaved. This face really is your daughter."
Seeing Qi Yuning chatting with a group of noble ladies from Shengjing City, Lu Ze carried Lingling in his arms and followed Qin Feng to his courtyard study.
Just when Lu Ze was about to discuss A Ping's matter with Qin Feng, Deqing hurriedly came to report that there was a new clue in the case being tried in the Dali Temple.
Lu Ze didn't dare to delay and looked at Qin Feng and said, "I'm going to the Dali Temple first. Please help me return Lingling to the princess."
"Yeah." Qin Feng agreed, "It's okay to let Lingling play in my study for a while."
Qin Feng was very fond of Xiao Lingling. He took Xiao Lingling's hand and walked into the study. "Lingling, can you write?"
"Lingling can write her own name, and she can also write her mother's name."
Lingling entered Qin Feng's study and looked at the portrait of a woman hanging in the study. She said happily, "Aunt!"
Qin Feng listened to Lingling's cry and asked, "Lingling, what did you call her?"
"Aunt!" Lingling pointed at the portrait hanging in Qin Feng's study and said, "This is Lingling's aunt! Uncle Qin, why do you have a portrait of my aunt?"
Qin Feng clasped his hands and said, "How is it possible? How could she be your aunt?"
Lingling said, "How can that be impossible? She is Lingling's aunt. How could Lingling not recognize her aunt?"
"Prince Qi hasn't married yet!" Qin Feng frowned.
Lingling tilted her head and said, "But she is my aunt."
Qin Feng asked, "Where is your aunt?"
"Beicheng." Lingling said dejectedly, "Lingling hasn't seen my aunt for a long time. Lingling wants to play with her."
Qin Feng looked at Lingling in disbelief, then at the portrait hanging in front of the study. Beicheng...
No wonder they couldn't find her. If she had entered Prince Qi's Mansion in North City, how could their people have found her? It's just that they had never heard of Prince Qi marrying a wife. Ah Ping was definitely not the principal wife in Prince Qi's Mansion.
I wonder how Prince Qi treats her?
The Qin Hou Mansion celebrated its birthday, and quite a few nobles from Shengjing came to congratulate it. Although the Qin Hou Mansion and the Qin Guojiu Mansion were two different families, they had the same surname, one was powerful, and the other had honors, so the two families were very close on weekdays.
Mrs. Qin's uncle came with her two daughters-in-law and Qin Yuli. The eldest lady of the Qin family had looked very bad recently, and her forehead seemed to be a little dark.
Lu Baohua, who was sitting next to Qi Yuning, whispered, "Madam Qin's forehead is black, it seems she has suffered a bloody disaster."
Soldiers who fought in wars all had some faith in the Zhouyi physiognomy techniques. Qi Yuning looked over and saw that Madam Qin's face was indeed very ugly.
Qin Yuli, who was standing by, looked at Qi Yuning and walked over to ask, "Princess Qi, why didn't you see your daughter today?"
Qi Yuning said, "Her father probably took her to Qin Feng's yard to play."
Qin Yuli snorted and said, "Princess Qi, a few days ago when my mother and I went to the temple to burn incense, we saw a man who was being hunted.
He said that he had had an affair with a noble lady in Shengjing City three years ago, and after the noble lady gave birth to his daughter, she drove him out of Shengjing City.
Three years later, he returned to Shengjing City and saw that his daughter had recognized another man as her father. When that noble lady saw him, she ordered someone to kill him!
Upon hearing this, Lady Qin said, "Amitabha, who is this cruel and vicious noblewoman?"
Qin Yuli smiled and looked at Qi Yuning. "I've always been a strong advocate for justice. I thought that since today is the banquet hosted by the old lady of Marquis Qin's mansion, that noble lady would not dare to kill someone in front of everyone, so I brought that poor man here."
Qi Yuning raised her eyebrows and looked at Qin Yuli. Did Qin Yuli think that such a low-level accusation could frame her?
Qin Yuli said to Madam Qin, "Grandma Qin, I'm sorry. Today is your birthday party, and I shouldn't have come to meddle in other people's business. It's just that I can't stand some noble ladies in Shengjing City who kill people at will, are fickle, and shamelessly give birth to daughters out of wedlock, and even try to get others to recognize their daughters!
