Chapter 68 Heartbeat
Jiang Qingning came back to his senses, stunned, and his eyes unconsciously looked at him.
Qin Xiu is tall, and whenever he stands here, he feels completely safe.
With him in front of her just now, she was not afraid of anything.
This intuition comes at a very bad time.
Jiang Qingning took a step back and said, "Since the matter has been resolved, there is no need to trouble Sir Qin to continue worrying about it. Qingning is a little tired and wants to go back and rest first."
She bowed and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute, I have something to give you." Qin Xiu called her in a serious voice.
Jiang Qingning paused, subconsciously wanting to distance himself from him. He turned around and saluted, saying, "It's better for unmarried men and women not to have too much contact. Sir Qin, there's no need to be so polite to me."
Qin Xiu pulled out a document from his sleeve, unfolded it, and handed it to her, smiling and saying, "Even if it's this, you don't want it?"
Jiang Qingning's eyes fell on the document, and the indifference in his eyes was replaced by astonishment.
The document clearly showed the name of her younger sister Jiang Qingxi, and her household registration and life experience were clearly stated.
It was my father and brother who were exiled at that time. My mother and younger sister had gone with them voluntarily and were innocent people, but they could not stand being targeted by people with ulterior motives.
"When did you find out?"
Jiang Qingning lowered his eyes and asked indifferently.
"That night, outside Ning Pavilion."
Qin Xiu answered softly, taking in Jiang Qingning's expression.
"You behaved very well that day, but I've been working on cases for many years and am used to this, so I'll always notice it."
"Besides, in the capital, apart from the Jiang family, no one should have such a strong hatred towards Xun Chen. But don't worry, I have already made arrangements with the Imperial Guards, so nothing will happen."
Jiang Qingning felt a tightness in his heart. He didn't feel the joy of being helped at all, but only the embarrassment of being fooled like a fool.
She frowned and asked, "Qin Xiu, have you investigated me?"
Qin Xiu explained: "I just sent Qingming to investigate the situation of entering the city that day, and guessed that it was my younger sister who entered the capital.
I remember my younger sister had a passionate and outgoing personality. Naturally, she couldn't bear to see her elder sister suffer."
Jiang Qingning suddenly felt a sore sensation on the tip of his nose.
She turned her eyes away, endured for a moment, and looked up at him: "When did you go to Lingnan? Why have I never seen you before?"
"Qin Xiu, should I believe you?"
Qin Xiu held her hand, spread it open, and placed the document in her hand. He said seriously, "Jiang Qingning, even if you choose not to believe me, I will use time to prove everything to you."
"When I went to Lingnan, my younger sister was still young, so we never met. You can write to Lingnan and ask about this. They won't hide it."
The person in front of him spoke sincerely, but Jiang Qingning stared at him.
It's five thousand miles to Lingnan. It takes a month on a fast horse to go there and another month to come back. This person must know this.
By the time she finished asking about this matter and the envelope was handed to her, two months or even longer had probably passed. This guy must have been planning something big.
"I want to thank you Sir Qin for the document. Qingning will definitely reward you handsomely one day. Sir Qin, take care and leave."
Jiang Qingning took a step back, turned around and entered the mansion without hesitation, and erected a high wall in his heart to separate the two of them.
Qin Xiu stood there and watched the door of Ning Pavilion slowly close.
Qing Zhi asked cautiously, "Sir, do we still need to go to the government office?"
Qin Xiu's thoughts were pulled back by him, and he walked down the stairs, passing by the broken jade.
He stepped directly on it, making a sound of broken jade rubbing against the ground. Broken jade is harder to recover than spilled water, which made Qin Xiu sneer.
Xun Chen will never have another chance, but Qin Xiu may not really have no chance at all.
backyard.
Amidst the teasing gazes of the crowd, Jiang Qingning slowly walked up to them and handed the document in his sleeve to Jiang Qingxi.
"What is this... document? An identity document! Sister, where did you get it?"
Jiang Qingxi took it blankly, then shouted in surprise and shock.
"Qin Xiu gave it to me. He guessed that it was you that day."
Jiang Qingning walked into the room, sat down at the round table and answered calmly.
Zi Su stepped forward and poured her a cup of hot tea. The warm cup in her hand dispelled the chill brought by the cold wind.
Jiang Qingning lowered his eyes and looked at the green cloak on his body. It was embroidered with intricate bamboo patterns and the hem was dotted with gold thread, highlighting the luxury of the clothes.
Qin Xiu looks very good in this dress, Jiang Qingning thought to himself.
She recalled his appearance just now. Ever since Qin Xiu appeared in her world, he had been helping and protecting her.
Jiang Qingning sighed, but she had experienced too much. After being married for eight years, she had already experienced the fickleness of human nature and no longer felt attracted to men.
Nanny Zhang saw that Jiang Qingning was conflicted, and sent Jiang Qingxi and Zisu away, saying that breakfast was about to be prepared.
Aunt Zhang's face was full of kindness: "Is the young lady in trouble?"
"Mammy?" Jiang Qingning lowered her eyes.
She looked at Jiang Qingning lovingly and sighed deeply, "Actually, you don't have to be embarrassed. If Prince Qin likes you, that's his business. If you don't like it, just stay away from him. Why make it difficult for yourself?"
Jiang Qingning froze for a moment. She softly explained, "Duke Qin's Mansion is a prestigious and influential family in the capital. Madam, he and I are not a good match."
Jiang Qingning hesitated in uttering these words, as if reminding himself that the distance between them was average.
"But Miss, have you ever thought that perhaps Prince Qin doesn't think so, and Duke Qin's Mansion doesn't think so either?"
Nanny Zhang looked at Jiang Qingning, who was a big shot in the business world, but when it came to love, he subconsciously resisted and was unwilling to admit his true feelings.
She sighed slowly. Her young lady had suffered too much harm in the Anping Marquis's Mansion, so she mustered up the courage to divorce and walk out of the deep swamp and mud.
But in reality, the insults she had suffered would be engraved in her bones for the rest of her life, constantly reminding her not to make the same mistakes again.
"Your hesitation about this matter doesn't mean you have changed your mind about Prince Qin?"
"Perhaps, he should be able to enter your heart."
Nanny Zhang spoke meaningfully, and she stepped forward to untie Jiang Qingning's cloak. A maid came outside the door with hot water for washing.
Jiang Qingning stood up and couldn't help but tremble when his eyes passed over the moment when the cloak left his body. Aunt Zhang, who saw the whole thing from close range, showed an understanding smile on her face.
"You still have to meet the two Jiang family members tomorrow. You should first rest up and prepare for tomorrow's battle. Don't think about anything else."
"I will help you wash and dress. My lady has not slept all night, so you should have a good sleep. Maybe when you wake up, all your problems will be solved."
Jiang Qingning lay under a light gauze curtain. Nanny Zhang lowered the curtain and the surroundings became dim. She looked at the ceiling of the tent and raised her hand to touch her heart.
That place was beating nervously, thumping.
