Chapter 45: Shocking news!
The Qin family is not of high status. It is said that Qin used dishonorable means to marry into the Marquis's Mansion.
Xie Changning knew that Qin had been secretly supporting her family over the years, and this was nothing, since she was so prominent now!
It is reasonable to help your mother's family more.
Qin has two older brothers and a younger brother, and together with her nephews and nieces, there are at least ten people.
Why did she spare no effort to help Qin Kaiji?
This is very unusual!
What kind of person is Qin?
She has a good mouth and is good at coaxing people. She can make people dizzy as long as she wants to, but if you want her to pay money, it would be like cutting her flesh.
She seemed to be very fond of those rebellious sons and daughters in the mansion, but had she actually given them anything?
No!
Xie Changning knew Qin Kaiji, he was the second son of Qin's eldest brother.
It can be said that he is the most promising son of the Qin family. Before she married Shen Wenyuan, he was sent out to serve as an official. He has done a lot of practical work over the years. Judging from the time, he should have received the transfer order and jumped from the sixth rank official to the fourth rank.
He is probably on his way back to Beijing at this moment.
But she had never seen Qin Kaiji. Firstly, she was a widow and needed to avoid suspicion. Secondly, every time Qin Kaiji came, she had to avoid him for some reason.
But she was very familiar with Qin Kaiji's wife, Wu.
When the children got married, Mrs. Wu gave more gifts than anyone else, especially when Shen Jingyun and Shen Jingshu got married. The dowries that Mrs. Wu gave to them were all good things that shocked her.
The children were also very close to Wu, and treated her even better than their biological mother.
At that time, she just thought that Wu was generous and wanted to curry favor with the Marquis's Mansion in this way.
Now that I think about it, is it really just like that?
In particular, Qin Kaiji and Wu had been married for many years, and had great difficulty in having children. They only had one son, who was three years younger than Shen Jingshu.
The more Xie Changning thought about it, the more suspicious he felt.
An extremely absurd idea flashed through her mind.
If all the children raised by her are not her children, then whose children are they?
Where is her child? !
"Xie Lin, please go and do something for me." Xie Changning whispered a few words in Xie Lin's ear. She urgently needed to verify something.
As soon as Xie Lin left, she collapsed on the couch, exhausted.
She must get to the bottom of this matter...
Songbaiyuan.
Qin is still waiting for Shen Zhiyan and the others.
Seeing that they were still not coming back, she knew that the matter was done.
The old lady of the Duke's Mansion is even more stubborn than Xie Changning, and the Xie family has been loyal and brave for generations, with great military achievements. As long as she is willing to go to the Princess's Mansion in person to ask for Jingyun.
The eldest princess not only had to greet Jingyun with a smile, but also had to send Jingyun back obediently, and then marry Jingyun in a formal way.
After Jingyun comes back, she will definitely go to the Duke's Mansion in person tomorrow to ask the old lady how she taught her daughter and make sure she teaches Xie Changning a good lesson.
Just as she was thinking about it, Shen Zhiyan and the others came back, each of them was burning with anger, their eyes almost spitting fire.
Qin glanced behind them, her heart skipping a beat. "Where's Jingyun? Why didn't you bring Jingyun back? Could it be that your grandmother doesn't want to help Jingyun? That's not right! She has always loved you and would definitely do her utmost to help Jingyun."
"What else can we say? We haven't even set foot in the Duke's Mansion. No one paid any attention to us even though we shouted until our voices were hoarse. How can we ever see our grandmother?" Shen Zhizhou was furious. He picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
Shen Jingshu said bitterly: "This must be mother's intention. How can she be so cruel? It's okay for her to ignore the fourth sister, but she also doesn't allow grandmother to come forward. Grandma, what should we do now?"
This was something Qin never expected.
"Damn Xie Changning, she is so cruel!" She slapped her thigh and wailed to the sky.
Shen Zhizhou stood up and left, "I must see my mother tonight. If she refuses to help my fourth sister, I will put a knife to her neck until she agrees."
"Stop, you can't even enter Qixia Courtyard with your strength." He had only taken two steps when Shen Zhiyan called out to him.
"Second brother, do you have any other ideas?" Shen Zhizhou looked back at him and asked.
Qin and Shen Jingshu also looked at Shen Zhiyan.
Shen Zhiyan pondered for a moment, "Even if you break in, it's useless. Mother's heart has become wild. She is no longer the mother who was devoted to us."
As he spoke, he looked at Qin and said, "Grandmother, I have a plan. It may not be easy to find the adulterer, but it is not difficult to find an adulterer to control mother. As long as you are willing to pay, we can have as many adulterers as you want, fat, thin, ugly, beautiful, we can choose as many as you want."
"We absolutely cannot let Mother go any longer, otherwise she will soon empty the entire mansion!"
Qin's eyes narrowed, "...Zhi Yan, what do you mean?"
Chen Zhiyan nodded. "As long as we can get hold of something that could harm our mother, we won't have to worry about her not being obedient! It won't take much more than a word to get her to return those things, take back our eldest brother, and rescue our fourth sister."
Qin's heart burned as she heard this. "After tomorrow it will be the fifteenth. Every fifteenth day of the month your mother goes to Tianning Temple to burn incense and pray for the soldiers who died on the battlefield. We will go with your mother then. As for the adulterer, Zhiyan will be left to you."
"I just want Jingyun to stay in the princess's mansion for a few days!"
Shen Zhiyan was not worried at all. "Don't worry, grandma. We have seen how Song Wenjing treats Fourth Sister. He will never let Fourth Sister suffer."
When she said this, Shen Zhiyan didn't know that at this moment Shen Jingyun was still soaking in the pool. She felt dizzy and drowsy, and kept rising and falling in the water. She didn't know how many times she choked on the water, and she was about to give up.
They didn't know that a pair of eyes were staring at them in the dark...
Come out of Songbaiyuan.
Shen Zhiyan sat alone in the study. The study was empty with only him there. At this time in the past, his mother would have sent someone to bring him midnight snacks.
Not only that, his mother would ask about his studies every day.
Now, not only did no one bring him midnight snacks, but his mother even ignored him when he hadn't been to the Imperial College for several days.
Although he hated his ex-mother.
But he hated his current mother even more.
Why can't she be a qualified mother?
Since she is so unkind, then don't blame him as her son for being unjust!
Qin was thinking in her dreams that she must bring Shen Jingyun back quickly. What was going on with her living in the princess's mansion in such a unclear way?
Unexpectedly, the next day when she just woke up, she was shocked to hear the bad news.
"Mother Huang, what did you say just now?" She grabbed Mother Huang's hand tightly, leaving several bloody marks on the back of her hand.
