Chapter 406: Stopgap Measures

Song Jin suddenly understood.

Qin Chi was not sure that he could get out of this competition unscathed, so he could only think of ways to settle his wife and children in advance. But he should have made this decision not long ago, and he had not thought of letting her and the children leave Beijing, otherwise he would not have let her come to Beijing.

What happened in the last few days? Think back.

The guard who delivered food was killed, Zhang Yanzi was sent to jail, Qin Chi was poisoned in the yamen, and he told everyone in the mansion not to go out unless necessary?

"If that day really comes and my wife hears bad news about me, I hope you won't do anything about it, and don't set foot in the capital again. My only extravagant wish is that you and the children can be safe. If you can't stay in Daxia, you can go to sea. My wife has a fleet and manpower, so there is no place for you to go." For the first time, Qin Chi could understand his mother's feelings when she didn't allow him to take the imperial examination.

For parents.

It is not the children's success that is the primary concern, but the people's survival.

His words struck Song Jin's heart one by one, as if they were his last words.

Song Jin was so depressed by the heavy atmosphere that she couldn't speak. Misty eyes gradually appeared, blocking her vision.

Qin Chi held her tightly and did not let go, his arms slowly tightening.

It seemed like a very long time had passed.

Qin Chifang said in a hoarse voice: "My wife, I may not fail."

"Are you hiding something from me?" Song Jin had some doubts in his heart.

Qin Chi kissed her ear and answered gently, "No, I sent you and the child away only because of the situation."

The only thing concealed was the matter of Song Kuan. The other party brought Song Kuan to the capital. It was not difficult for Qin Chi to guess the other party's intention.

Qin Chi doesn't want Song Jin to join the game.

What would she do when the other party threatened her with her father's life? What would her situation be like then?

Force her to choose between her father and him or even her child? No matter which side she chooses in the end, it will not be a good thing for Song Jin. Qin Chi also doesn't want Song Jin to fall into that situation. As long as he sends the person away in advance, Helian Kai and Yan Jiangnan can't use this to threaten Song Jin and control him.

This was too cruel for Song Jin.

Once Qin Chi makes a decision, he will not change it easily.

The next day, the sky was bright.

Qin Chi changed into his official robe again, simply took two buns, and walked out while listening to Qin Ba's report on official business.

Qin Ba continued, "Master Yan Xianqing invited you to a gathering at noon at his mansion. He said that Dong Xingde would also be there, along with a few other masters. Their main purpose was to give Master Dong some advice and analyze the situation in Jianning."

"In that case, I can't refuse."

Qin Chi knew that Dong Xingde had taken over Jianning's job.

He had been looking for an opportunity to give him some advice, so he took this opportunity and said, "Go and tell someone to reply that I will go."

"Yes, I will do it right away."

Qin Ba called a servant over and whispered a few instructions to him. The servant responded and went out.

Qin Chi, who was walking away, didn't notice.

Song Jin had woken up long ago and even watched him leave. And where she was standing, if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice there was someone there.

"Boss, do you want me to go to the kitchen to serve you breakfast?" Mu Ting yawned sleepily.

Song Jin looked back at her and said, "No need. Go pack your things. We may have to go back to Huizhou."

"ah?"

Mu Ting was so startled that she lost all her sleepiness. "What does the boss mean? Are we going back to Huizhou?"

"Well, I have to go back to Huizhou."

After Song Jin finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the bedroom.

It was not until she entered the house and closed the door that Mu Ting came back to her senses and murmured to herself, "Why do you suddenly want to go back to Huizhou?"

It’s okay not to understand.

Mu Ting did as Song Jin said and started packing her bags, and also notified others to pack their things.

Before Song Jin returned to her room, she sat down at the desk and began to grind ink. She quickly wrote a letter to Xing Lun and another letter to Song Jitao, asking him to sell all the medicinal materials in the shop to Shun'an Trading Company and then close the shop.

Xing Lun's business in Beijing was almost done, and he was about to leave Beijing. Song Jin had not thought about leaving with Xing Lun at this time, but she was about to leave Beijing, and she had to tell Xing Lun about the bad situation in the future. Some things were not easy to write in the letter, so she could only ask him to meet.

Mu Ting came over and was assigned by Song Jin to deliver a letter.

Song Jin stood in the bedroom, looking at the residence she had carefully decorated, feeling very unwilling. If she could choose, she did not want to leave Beijing.

She wanted to face it with Qin Chi.

Qin Chi wanted to protect her and the child, but he never thought that she also wanted him to be safe. Perhaps even she herself did not expect that with her indifferent personality, there would be a moment when she wanted to stand by Qin Chi's side.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

As for divorce, in her mind there is no such thing as true or false.

Once we divorce, we divorce.

Who knows what the future will be like? Song Jin didn't want to gamble on the future, but at this moment, she didn't want to leave. However, people often have no choice but to pack their bags first.

Walking to a box, she opened the lock and took out the Lu Ban box.

The box contained Song Jin's important things. Then he took out a large stack of silver bills from a secret compartment in the dressing table.

Silver is too heavy to carry...

Time passed faster than she thought, and it was afternoon in the blink of an eye.

"Boss, Manager Xing is here."

Mu Ting came over to inform.

Song Jin looked at Xing Lun and said, "You came quite quickly. According to my calculation, I thought you would come tomorrow."

"What a coincidence! I was planning to say goodbye to my boss today, but who knew I would receive your letter." Xing Lun wanted to say this was a coincidence, but after being here for a while, he noticed that Song Jin was in a bad mood, and it was very likely that something had happened.

Due to Xing Lun's status, he didn't dare to ask until Song Jin said it himself.

Song Jinping dismissed the servants, asked Mu Ting to guard the door, and went straight to the point: "The capital is probably going to be in chaos. In order to protect me and the child, my husband asked me to divorce him and take the child back to Huizhou as soon as possible. He said that someone in Huizhou would protect us."

"Is it so serious? It has to get to the point of divorce."

Xing Lun thought that the things involved must be complicated.

Song Jin said helplessly: "It's so serious. Even if we get divorced, one day in the future, my child and I may have to wander around and hide our identities."

The worst-case scenario Qin Chi imagined was that what he had done would be exposed, and he might even have his property confiscated and his family exterminated.

Song Jin could get away with a divorce, but the child couldn't. Judging from the usual behavior of those in power, they would most likely cut off the roots.

If the open way doesn't work, the covert way will.

Qin Chi did give Song Jin an idea.

If she really has no other choice, she can take her children out to sea on a boat.
