Chapter 335 Returning Home in Glory

Prince Rui had more than two children who died young.

As far as they knew, this was the first time that evidence had been found. In fact, the Liu family had tried to take action against the Li family before, but they were unsuccessful.

No wonder Qin Chi and others are angry.

Old Huo asked, "The person behind the Liu family is the former crown prince? The emperor may not know. Sir, do you want to reveal a little bit? Let them fight each other."

“He may not be unaware.”

Qin Chi suddenly became unsure. "Liu Bingzheng died in the imperial prison. The mastermind behind this was able to kill people in the prison. He must have great power. Who in the palace would not be suspicious? Fortunately, the evidence found in the Liu family is enough to clear the Prince Rui's mansion of suspicion."

Before this, Emperor Mingcheng would most likely have suspected Prince Rui's Palace.

Qin Chi's guess was correct.

Emperor Ming Cheng did suspect that the master behind Liu Bingzheng was Prince Rui, but the documents copied by the Liu family quickly overturned his suspicion. At the same time, many officials were implicated by the Liu family and were either executed, dismissed or exiled.

Qin Chi, who stirred up trouble in Beijing.

Now he packed up his bags and left Beijing with his wife.

Fortunately, outsiders don’t know.

Otherwise, there will be an endless stream of people chasing after Qin Chi.

Qin Chi calmed down and walked into the rest room, just in time to see Song Jin sitting at the table writing a letter. He went over and sat opposite her, picked up the teapot beside him with his fingers, and poured out a cup of honey water.

This is prepared for Song Jin.

After Qin Chi drank it, he found it too sweet and put it down gently. "Madam, why don't you take a rest? Who are you writing to?"

"I thought you wouldn't ask."

Song Jin finally raised his eyelids and glanced at him.

Qin Chi felt a lump in his throat and said in a serious tone, "A gentleman should be strict with himself and observe etiquette."

“Hehehe…”

Song Jin laughed without thinking, "Sorry, I didn't mean to make fun of you, I just couldn't help it."

It would have been fine if he didn't explain. After this explanation, Qin Chi's face turned dark and he was helpless.

Is he so bad in his wife's heart?

Song Jin had already written the letter. When the writing on the letter had dried, he folded it and put it in an envelope and sealed it. "I'll send a letter back to the capital to Wei Yuan, asking them to pay attention to the Liu family in Cuihua Hutong."

“Oh, I see.”

Qin Chi added, "With the Yang and Liu families in trouble, Liu Ji may not dare to make any moves in the capital. I have asked people to keep an eye on him. On the surface, he looks like a gentleman, but secretly he frequents red-light districts and even keeps a prostitute in a brothel."

“Most scholars are like this.”

"My lady, please don't kill all the people on the boat with one blow..."

"Oh, I said the wrong thing."

Song Jin looked at Qin Chi meaningfully. It wasn't that she was pessimistic, it was that most of what she saw was like this.

Qin Chi is now keeping himself clean.

What about the future? The letter was handed to Mu Ting when the ship was docked.

Mu Ting came back not long after she went ashore.

After the crew was supplied, the ship continued to sail south. In Huai'an Prefecture, the group landed and took the land route. After stopping and starting for a month and a half, they finally arrived at Huizhou Prefecture.

The news that Qin Chi was going home to visit his parents was leaked by someone. As soon as he arrived in Huizhou, he saw the Huizhou prefect and a group of officials lining the streets to greet him. Song Jin, who had been sitting in the carriage for a long time and felt a little dizzy, simply did not get off.

Qin Chi exchanged greetings with the officials.

It was hard to refuse the hospitality, so Qin Chi had to stay and socialize.

Song Jin and others returned to Yi County first.

This time, they did not go to Hongcun Town, but went directly back to Qinjiagou in response to the clan leader's request.

This is the top scholar returning home in glory, how could he run to the next town?

No matter what, we have to go back to Qinjiagou first.

Song Jin and his entourage, along with their horse-drawn carriage, were given a very warm welcome by the villagers as soon as they arrived at Qinjiagou. There were constant sounds of gongs and drums and whips and bamboo shoots, and even just by sitting in the carriage, they could hear the excitement outside.

At this time, Song Jin was supposed to get off at the village entrance, but she was pregnant, and Yin Long told her not to join in the fun.

The house had been cleaned long ago and the carriage was parked at the door. When Song Jin was helped down, he saw a large family in front of the door.

Old Qin and Old Liu were also there.

Everyone put on new clothes, dressed up smartly, and looked full of joy.

The one who was greeted by so many people was certainly not Song Jin. But when Song Jin got off the carriage with a big belly, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Song Jin felt embarrassed for them.

She walked up to her elders and bowed to greet them.

Old Man Qin looked behind her and asked disappointedly, "Where's Dalang? Didn't he say he was going to Qinjiagou today?"

"On the way, I met the prefect and invited him. My husband got off the car to attend the banquet. He may be back tomorrow morning."

Song Jin said truthfully.

Old Liu said with a stern face: "Why didn't you inform us earlier? We wouldn't have to wait here."

"Didn't my husband send someone back to report the news?"

Song Jin was very surprised by this.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

My husband doesn't seem to be such an unreliable person.

Yin Long, who was standing by, said for Qin Chi, "Young lady, maybe your husband didn't know that the villagers would organize such a grand welcoming ceremony."

"It's really possible." Boss Qin said.

Qin Lao Er also clapped his hands, "Who said that? Who said it would be a surprise?"

"It's not Dalang's fault. He didn't expect that the prefect would find him halfway." Qin Laosan also spoke for Qin Chi.

Old Man Qin snorted coldly, "Fortunately, my uncle and the others are not here..."

Song Jin looked at everyone one by one.

Everyone changes.

The people in the second and third houses had not changed much, except that they were obviously dressed better, and the children were all very energetic. Old Qin was also dressed like a country gentleman, but old Liu looked more than ten years older, with a head full of white hair and deeper wrinkles between her eyebrows.

Song Jin did not see the two children.

In addition, the couple Song Xiu were not seen either.

Li looked at her belly with a smile, then came forward and held her hand, "Daughter-in-law Dalang, you must be tired after sitting in the carriage for so long. Come into the house and have a rest. You are not alone now, you can't tire my dear grandson."

"Yes, yes, don't get tired."

"Come in and have a rest. We can talk after you're done."

At this moment, the people around remembered that Song Jin had not yet entered the house, and they all agreed with Li.

Everyone made way for him.

Let Song Jin enter the house first.

Yin Long and Qin Qi followed Song Jin to prevent children from bumping into him due to the large crowd.

Boss Qin and others picked up the bags from the car.

Not knowing the situation at the moment, I moved the things into the warehouse first.

A group of uncles, aunts and children from the village were here.

Li was a good person. She asked Xiao Liu and Lin to pick up a basket of cakes and candies and distribute them to the adults one by one.

"Come on, let's all share in the good fortune." Little Liu shouted with a smile.

Lin was helping out, still not saying much, but her expression was bright and cheerful.

Song Jin stood in front of the hall, wanting to rest but hesitant. Yin Long knew that she was just putting on an act, and if she went back to her room to rest directly, she might give people something to talk about.

"Oh, didn't you say you were feeling unwell? Go back to your room and rest. I'll call Doctor Jing to come and take your pulse later." Yin Long did not hide anything when she spoke.

Li and others who had just come in also heard it.

Li immediately urged, "I'm here, Dalang's wife, go back to your room and rest first."

"Thank you for your understanding, mother."

Song Jin bowed and then leisurely returned to his room.

If Song Xiu saw this, she would definitely call him pretentious and hypocritical.
