Chapter 31 My Words Are Always False
As soon as Qin Mingzhu said this, she shocked everyone present again.
Madam Yan's expression was a mixture of red and white, and the colors looked very beautiful.
She is now being roasted on the fire. Just as she was arrogant when she said she wanted to divorce Qin Mingzhu, she is now in such a miserable state.
"Mingzhu, what I said before was just words spoken in anger."
Suddenly, Madam Yan's voice softened again.
She never expected that Qin Mingzhu would be so tough this time.
If she were really allowed to walk out of the Marquis' Mansion with her pregnant belly, Old Lady Yan felt that someone would definitely expose her spine in the future.
So, she decided to give in and appease Qin Mingzhu and the Qin family first, and deal with other things later.
Seeing that Old Lady Yan gave her a way out, Qin Mingzhu sneered in her heart.
Isn't it because this old woman is reluctant to give up the benefits that the Qin family will bring her in the future, so she is so hypocritical?
Qin Mingzhu lowered her eyes slightly, "Mingzhu cannot bear your anger."
Old Madam Yan sat back down in her chair, her hands on her crutches, her expression grave.
"In this way, I can agree to all your conditions. If you want to go back to your parents' home, then go back. As for the rest, I will not care. I only ask that you can bring my grandson back safely. My son is gone, and this is all I wish for now."
She lowered her eyes, her look showing a sense of loss.
I have to say that Madam Yan’s acting skills are truly amazing.
If Qin Mingzhu didn't know the inside story, she would have been deceived.
Because she was deceived in her previous life.
When Mrs. Qin saw that Mrs. Yan had completely retreated, she pulled Qin Mingzhu's sleeve.
"Mingzhu, since your mother-in-law has said so, what are you going to do? No matter what you choose, your parents will stand by you."
Mrs. Qin's words were like a magic needle that stabilized the sea.
Qin Mingzhu smiled and said, "What else can my daughter do? If I really insist on doing this, I will be the one being unreasonable. Since my mother-in-law has already agreed, I will pretend that I never said anything today."
After saying this, she looked up at Yan Fengxiao again.
The smile on her lips was as elegant as orchid. "Thank you, Governor Yan, for supporting Mingzhu today. However, you should not say such things carelessly in the future, so as not to cause misunderstandings."
Yan Fengxiao's dark eyes reflected the curve of Qin Mingzhu's mouth.
The expression on his face seemed to contain a hint of regret.
"Sister-in-law, my words are never empty."
The voice was cold and firm, as if as long as Qin Mingzhu was divorced or left the Marquis' Mansion, he would take the initiative to support her.
This feeling was so strange that Qin Mingzhu felt a little weird.
Her eyes flickered, and she touched her belly, even tapping her bulging belly with her fingers.
"As a widowed sister-in-law, it is indeed a blessing to be favored by the governor. However, my reputation is fine, but the governor has not yet married. I am afraid that this has delayed the governor..."
Yan Fengxiao narrowed his sharp phoenix eyes.
"Sister-in-law, you're worrying too much..."
"Oh, why?"
Qin Mingzhu instantly became interested and couldn't help but ask more questions.
In her previous life, she did not see Yan Fengxiao get married even after ten years, and many people even speculated whether Yan Fengxiao was not interested in women but in other kinds of things.
Yan Fengxiao's slightly cold voice echoed in the hall: "If the country is not at peace, how can we settle down at home?"
What a high-sounding reason.
Qin Mingzhu admired him to the extreme.
"The Governor is indeed a favorite of the Emperor. He cares so much about the world. It is truly an honor for the Southern Yan Kingdom to have the Governor."
The curve of her mouth is just right.
The smile seemed quite sincere and the tone of voice was praising the other person.
But it is hard to say how much truth there is in it.
Yan Fengxiao knew that Qin Mingzhu was definitely making fun of him.
He lowered his eyes slightly and suddenly changed the subject: "Have they all been caught?"
This sudden turn of events even made everyone present unable to react for a moment.
Many people looked at Yan Fengxiao blankly.
Just as he finished speaking, a lot of people suddenly came in from outside the lobby courtyard.
Each soldier in armor was holding a person in his hand.
After counting carefully, there were actually seven or eight people brought with them. These people had different identities, including servants, maids, nannies, and even cooks.
"Commander-in-Chief, all the people on the list have been arrested, not one is missing."
Yan Fengxiao nodded slightly, then turned and looked outside the door.
In the yard, those who were captured knelt in a row with panicked faces.
Old Lady Yan, who had been thinking about divorcing Qin Mingzhu, saw a maid in her yard among the crowd and her face turned pale instantly.
This sudden reversal really made her mind go blank.
Yan Fengxiao stood in front of the group of people and scanned them from beginning to end.
The real business today is to arrest this group of people. From what he said just now, he really meant to support Qin Mingzhu and help her out of the predicament.
Even though he knew that what he said today would be spread by someone with ulterior motives in the future, Yan Fengxiao didn't care much.
He had crawled out of mud and blood, so why would he care about his reputation?
The only thing he cared about was Qin Mingzhu's thoughts and reputation, nothing more.
Therefore, no matter how much he endured before, after all, with his hands covered in blood and not knowing where to go in the future, how could he be worthy of the elegant woman in front of him...
He collected his thoughts and spoke coldly, "Qing An has already revealed your identities. Interrogate each of you from beginning to end."
"Yes, Governor!"
A subordinate brought one of them over.
Someone behind Yan Fengxiao considerately brought a chair and asked the governor to sit down.
He didn't hesitate and sat down at the gate, looking at the group of people calmly. The knife in his hand was stuck in the ground beside him, and the blade was flashing with cold light.
The first person to be interrogated was the old lady's personal maid.
The maid was not very old, only about twenty years old. Her face was pale and she was trembling with fear.
"I...I don't know anything, old lady, old lady, save me!"
She raised her head, tears in her eyes, and shouted for help to the old lady in the room.
The old lady's heart trembled slightly when she heard the voice. She quickly gathered her strength, stood up with the help of her cane, and walked to the door. As she walked, she said, "She is someone close to me. She can't be a spy from the Northern Frontier. The governor has no evidence, so he can't just arrest people!"
She shouted out the words.
Of course Yan Fengxiao would give her face.
With a gentle wave of his hand, someone threw something onto the open space in front.
It was a medicine bottle, and it looked ordinary.
"This was found in the secret compartment of this woman's room. This drug is a special kind of knockout drug commonly used by spies from the Northern Frontier Kingdom."
