Chapter 169 Subtlety

There is no need to say anything more at this time.

I feel like anything more to say would be redundant.

The originally awkward atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous due to Qin Chi's small action.

Until the carriage took people back to Qinjiagou.

When Old Li saw Xiao Liuzi's car, he thought it was Song Jin returning.

He immediately took out the stool from behind the door and put it away, but saw Qin Chi coming down first.

Old Li was surprised, "Sir, why are you here? Isn't this the Madam's carriage?"

"I just happened to meet you and came back on the way."

Qin Chi handed the wooden box in his hand to Old Li, got off the car first, waited for Song Jin to come out of the car, and helped her down personally.

Wait until the two of them walked into the gate side by side.

This operation made Old Li confused.

Especially what did the young master stuff in? Wasn't it what the lady took from home in the morning and was going to give to Shunan's "boss"? Old Li knew that the young master concealed his identity. Although he didn't quite understand why the young master didn't say it clearly at the time, he later realized that it was probably because he couldn't save face.

He had heard that the young master had threatened his wife and forced her to provide Shunan with medicinal materials for three years.

I saw Xiao Liuzi trying to turn the carriage around.

"Hey, boy, when did my master get on the car?" Old Li asked in a low voice.

Xiao Liuzi looked at him suspiciously and said, "I got on the bus with my boss."

"Where did the two meet?" Old Li became interested.

If Xiao Liuzi didn't know that he was a trustworthy person, he would not bother to pay attention to him. Can the master's whereabouts be told to others? Therefore, Old Li didn't hear the answer.

Xiao Liuzi ignored him, turned the carriage around, sat on the shaft, and drove away with a clatter.

"Hey, this guy looks kind."

Just then, an old lady from the village saw Xiao Liuzi and started talking about it.

The aunt next to the old lady glanced at Xiao Liuzi and said, "Isn't this the one who beat the gong? This young man is not bad. He is a rickshaw driver again!"

"Haha, Auntie, I'm not a coachman. I usually do odd jobs for people in town. I help out when someone is short of people. I just do this to make a living." Xiao Liuzi was ashamed.

These aunties have really good memories.

Old Li, who was about to enter the house, happened to hear it.

After going back to ask Mrs. Huang, she learned that Xiao Liuzi was one of the people who forced Qin Mingsong to take a concubine. She was immediately happy. When she took the wooden box back to the study, she wanted to tell Qin Chi a joke.

As a result, Qin Chi was not in the study.

Old Li came out and asked Mrs. Huang, "Where is the young master?"

"Cheer up the lady in the house."

Mrs. Huang was soaking soybeans. With her sharp eyes, she could tell at a glance that the atmosphere between the young master and his wife was different.

This continued for several days.

Qin Chi unexpectedly did not go anywhere and stayed at home with his wife, children and mother. Song Jin could often see him as long as she looked up, and he looked no different from before.

But Song Jin knew it was different.

Even Li noticed the subtlety between the two.

However, Li pretended not to notice and said, "I miss your father a little bit."

"Dad is safe, Mom doesn't have to worry."

Qin Chi responded, but his eyes secretly glanced at Song Jin beside him.

Li said unhappily, "I know you have arranged for someone to protect him. I'm not worried. I just miss him. Okay, I'll take Hu Zi and Niu Niu back to the room."

Qin Chi and Song Jin heard this and were about to get up to help.

But Li walked out holding a child in each hand, and as she left she said with emotion: "This young man, he just can't hide his thoughts."

Song Jin's ears suddenly turned red.

Qin Chi froze in his tracks, then smiled helplessly, "Mom seems to have misunderstood, what should I do?"

"Just pretend you didn't hear it. What else can you do?"

Song Jin had just finished speaking.

There were footsteps outside, and Xiaoyu came over to pass on a message: "Miss, my brother and Manager Xing are here."

"Let them wait for me in the study." Song Jin ordered immediately.

Xiaoyu happily responded and ran to pass on the message.

Qin Chi glanced at the door and asked, "Is there something going on at the pharmacy?"

"I asked Xing Lun to go to the provincial capital to check some things, and he came back later than I expected." According to Song Jin's idea, Xing Lun should have come back two or three days earlier.

This obviously didn't go well.

Song Jin hurried out to meet Xing Lun.

On the contrary, Qin Chi looked thoughtful and asked in one direction of the roof: "Qin Yi, is Xing Lun going to the city for something?"

Qin Yi's voice sounded faintly: "That kid was lucky. He almost couldn't come back. He was lucky to meet our people..."

The other side.

Song Jin went to the study.

In the study, only Xing Lun was sitting on a chair, drinking a bowl of hot tea.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The first time I saw Xing Lun, I discovered the problem.

"Are you hurt?" Song Jin was surprised.

Xing Lun's face was slightly pale, the kind of paleness that comes from excessive blood loss. "Something happened."

Putting down the tea bowl, Xing Lun took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Song Jin, saying, "This is the result of the investigation. Please take a look, sir."

Song Jin took the booklet, but did not look through it immediately. Instead, he looked at Xing Lun.

Even from half a meter away, I could still smell the medicine on him.

"Tell me, what happened? Is the injury serious?"

Song Jin sat down on another chair and asked.

Xing Lun's lips curled up slightly.

The smile was vague, he hid it well, but the smile in his eyes could not be concealed, "It's just a superficial wound, it will be fine after a few days of rest, boss, don't worry about it."

"How can you not care about this injury? Who did it?" Song Jin asked again.

Xing Lun glanced at the book in her hand and said truthfully, "It was done by the head of Cun Yi Money House. He knew I was investigating the deposit and withdrawal situation, so he was very enthusiastic when entertaining me. But when I left, he sent someone to kill me..."

He was rescued when he was being chased.

It was just luck.

Song Jin was still frightened after hearing this. "I was inconsiderate. I didn't expect this trip might be dangerous. Whoever saved you, we must prepare a generous gift for him."

"That person rescued me and left."

Xing Lun said embarrassedly, "I asked him his name and said I wanted to thank him, but he just said I would know when I return to Yi County."

Hear this.

Qin Chi flashed through Song Jin's mind.

At this time she opened the booklet.

There are account numbers of all the banks in the mansion, containing records of deposits and withdrawals over the past two years.

This is mostly blank.

No one has accessed it for two years.

Only three of them remained the same, and some even deposited money into their accounts in the past two years.

One of them was Cunyi Money House, which had a total of 6,885 taels of silver.

It was this money that made the manager of Cun Yi Money House want to kill someone. There must be something behind it.

After thinking for a while, Song Jin said, "The other party may know that this account is related to the Song family."

"I guess so."

Xing Lun also thought of it.

The account number does not record the name, but the family seal is not concealed.

Qin Chi also knew about this.

It was the manager of Cun Yi Money House who became greedy and accidentally learned that the account belonged to the Song family. After knowing that the Song family was in trouble, he discovered that money was still being deposited into the account every year, and no one came to withdraw the money like before, so he secretly made false accounts and withdrew the money.

If someone suddenly comes to check, wouldn’t you start to worry about being exposed?
