Chapter 398 News from Father

"How can this be possible!"

Zhang Yanzi was so angry that she smashed another tea bowl. "The banquet is tomorrow, why does something unexpected happen?"

"Zi'er?"

Master Zhang came over and saw the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. He frowned and said, "It's okay to be like this at home. Don't be like this outside. It will be difficult to get married if your reputation is ruined."

"My daughter knows." As soon as Zhang Yanzi saw her father, she quickly restrained herself and stepped forward to greet him.

The maid next to her was very perceptive and quickly started to sweep the floor.

Wait until the maids have left.

Zhang Yanzi's eyes were filled with tears, and she said aggrievedly, "Father, why am I so unlucky? Something I promised once or twice can change halfway."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Master Zhang was also angry, but he was powerless to change it.

Zhang Yanzi was angry again and asked, "Does this matter have to be done in the Princess's Mansion?"

"It's not that the Zhang family must do things in the Princess's Mansion. It's that Qin Qian'an is very cautious and never stays alone outside. Even in the government office, he is always accompanied by his confidants."

Master Zhang was more anxious than anyone else.

This was the task that Minister Zhang had assigned to him, and he hadn't completed it in so many days. According to the above, it was to ruin Qin Chi's reputation, distract him or make him show a flaw.

I don’t know how the Qin family’s servants found it.

It is difficult for others to send a spy in, and the servants seldom go out, so it is not easy to bribe them. The most important thing is that the servants of the Qin family have almost no ties behind them, which means they have no relatives or friends.

Master Zhang sat down again and took Zhang Yanzi to discuss things with Minister Zhang.

When Minister Zhang came back from the government office, he saw Master Zhang who was waiting at home. He learned that they had been waiting for so long but still hadn't come up with a solution. "We need to think of a way to let Qin Qi'an be alone first."

"Can we go directly to the Ministry of Industry?"

Master Zhang suddenly had an idea, "Find an excuse to let Zi'er come to you, and then, I'll give Qin Chi some medicine..."

"How did you come up with that?"

Minister Zhang asked back gloomily.

Mr. Zhang didn't think there was anything wrong with this plan.

It is a little difficult, but it is not impossible to plan.

Soon, Minister Zhang shattered his fantasy. "Qin Qian'an has been assassinated many times, and his attendant is very cautious. Although he works in the government office, under normal circumstances, when we hand over official documents or files, they are all handed over to Qin Qian'an through the attendant's hands. In addition, he never eats the food in the government office, and his lunch is sent from home. Don't say that he put drugs in his food, which is impossible, because he will not touch food and water once they leave his sight."

"This, this is too exaggerated!"

Master Zhang was at a loss.

Minister Zhang said gloomily, "I heard that the girl from the Wu family had been to the Qin family and was good friends with Qin Qi'an's wife? If it doesn't work out, follow her path."

"Will the Wu family cooperate with us?"

"Tell his family that Yanzi only wants to be a concubine, and the wife will be given to the Wu family. I think they will cooperate." Minister Zhang looked at Zhang Yanzi, whose face changed drastically, and comforted her, "Yanzi, this is just a temporary measure, not really asking you to be a concubine."

"Yanzi understands." Zhang Yanzi breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be better if she didn't have to be a concubine. As for plotting against Wu Jingyao, she didn't feel guilty at all.

He would naturally not tell Mr. Zhang and his daughter what the Zhang family was planning or what Minister Zhang was thinking.

In fact, this was a task that Yan Jiangnan assigned to Minister Zhang, which was to let the Zhang family find ways to make things difficult for Qin Chi, to create trouble for Qin Chi, and to create opportunities for the assassins in the dark. In short, this was not about sending a woman to a higher position, but about waiting for an opportunity to take Qin Chi's life.

It's just that several days have passed.

Qin Chi was too cautious, so the Zhang family couldn't find any solution.

Minister Zhang couldn't think of a way to deal with Qin Chi, so he thought of Qin's family. But Qin Chi's wife and children were just like him, and they rarely left the house.

Let the plans of many parties come to nothing.

Only Wu Jingyao came and stayed for a whole day. Isn't this conspicuous?

Then, Song Jin discovered something unusual.

It is understandable that Qin Chi spends more time in the palace and the government office. Ever since the manifesto appeared, the situation in the capital has become tense, and most of the pedestrians on the streets have disappeared.

Later, the court came up with a strategy to pacify the people.

The streets returned to their usual bustle.

There were more and more invitations sent to the Qin family. They were generally not invitations from big names, but from some unknown or mediocre people.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

These posts look normal.

In fact, it was not normal. They invited Song Jin at this time, and even invited her and the children together. There were various reasons. Perhaps they were waiting for one of them to please Song Jin, so that Song Jin would go out.

"Hey, it's this Aunt Wu again. She wants to invite mom to go boating, and she wants to bring Niu Niu with her." Niu Niu was flipping through a pile of invitations today. The little girl started her education at the age of three and knows quite a few words.

Normally, reading an invitation is not a problem.

Niuniu said in a serious tone in her childish little voice: "Mom, she is here to snatch daddy from Niuniu, and Niuniu doesn't like her."

"Who told you this?" Song Jin's face suddenly became serious.

Niuniu blinked her eyes in confusion. "No one told Niuniu. It was Grandpa Li who told Sister Qi and Sister Mu Ting that there are many older sisters out there who want to snatch Daddy from Mom and drive Mom away. Snatching Daddy from Mom means snatching Daddy from Niuniu, right?"

After Song Jin asked clearly, the corners of his mouth twitched.

This was the day when the Qin family held a banquet. Old Li, the temporary housekeeper, put on airs and warned a group of servants to be careful on the day of the banquet to prevent unmarried girls from causing trouble.

I don't know how much they said, but Niu Niu's self-understanding was that someone was trying to steal her father. No wonder Niu Niu's reaction was a little strange when she saw Wu Jingyao that day.

The little girl, who is usually fearless, pretended to be scared when she saw Wu Jingyao, and hid in her arms like a little drama queen.

"Boss."

Mu Ting rushed in from outside with an anxious look on her face.

Song Jin's heart tightened. He asked Xiaoyu to take Niuniu away, then stood up and asked, "What happened? Why are you so anxious?"

"We received news from Fuzhou that someone saw Mr. Song at a small dock. He was on a boat with a group of people around him. Our people couldn't get close to him..."

Mu Ting's face turned red with excitement. Their top priority has always been to find family members for the boss. Then Mu Ting told the news.

Their people did see Song Kuan.

They were already very familiar with Song Kuan's portrait and would never make a mistake.

The only miscalculation was that they wanted to rescue people, but they were discovered before they got close to Song Kuan, and several people were killed among them.

Afterwards, the person disappeared again.

But one thing is certain, Song Kuan is not dead.
