Chapter 6 Is sister-in-law okay?
Qin Mingzhu was also not vague and followed closely behind the old lady.
Madam Yan paused and said, "Mingzhu, Yunrui, and Yunyue are all injured. You go take care of them first. Leave this matter to me."
Qin Mingzhu shook her head and said seriously, "I heard that you've been having headaches and dizziness lately. I've been resting for so many days and I'm almost back to normal. Mingzhu, you should handle this kind of trivial matter yourself. Don't worry about such a small matter. You're old now. If something really happens to you, how will others see you?"
Madam Yan's expression was a little stiff.
Qin Mingzhu deliberately emphasized the words "three longs and two shorts". What did it mean?
Although it felt strange, since Qin Mingzhu said so, there was no reason for Old Lady Yan to stop Qin Mingzhu from going out together, so she just shut up and said nothing more.
Outside the gate of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
At this time, many vehicles were parked on the street in front of the door, so many civilians gathered to watch the excitement.
Because these armored men occupied half of the street, pedestrians on both sides stopped and did not dare to move too close.
Standing in front of these people, there was a man standing tall.
The man was clad in silver armor, exuding a murderous aura. Even if one wasn't on the battlefield, one could still smell the thick, bloody scent lingering around him...
Especially that face.
He has sharp edges and corners, sharp brow bones, a jade-like complexion, thin lips and a straight nose, giving people the illusion that he is like a sharp blade unsheathed.
That extremely handsome and powerful appearance is definitely unforgettable.
There are many people who know him.
Especially the people in the capital, many of them looked at him with fiery eyes.
Although Yan Fengxiao was only the illegitimate son of the old Marquis Dingyuan and could not even inherit the title of marquis, he was a legend in the Kingdom of Southern Yan.
Three years ago, he had already made a name for himself in the frontier, and even led his troops to conquer the Western Desert, forcing the Hu people who had once boasted that they would seize the important border areas of Southern Yan to surrender.
The emperor was overjoyed. After summoning him back to the capital, he issued an edict to appoint Yan Fengxiao as the governor of the Central Army Governor's Office, and he could even compete with the military department and have the power to command troops in the capital.
For such a person, his background has long been nothing to him. He already holds a high position. Even if all the people in the marquis' mansion are added together, there is no one with a greater status and power than him.
After all, the reason why the Dingyuan Marquisate was able to thrive in the capital after Yan Qinghao's death was probably because of this person.
Qin Mingzhu was also well aware of this.
The door of the Marquis' Mansion was slowly pushed open.
Old Madam Yan stepped out of the gate first. Looking at the many carriages loaded with boxes outside, her expression was a little tense. She tried her best not to show too much excitement and joy.
Qin Mingzhu, who came out right after Old Madam Yan, also slowly raised her head at this moment.
At this moment, she met a pair of dark gazes.
Qin Mingzhu had never expected that with so many people coming out of the mansion, the first person the other party looked at was not someone else, but... herself!
Her heartbeat seemed to skip a beat at this moment, and her originally calm expression now became a little confused and flustered. She even subconsciously wanted to look away, not daring to look him in the face.
The other person's eyes were really explicit. She was the same in her previous life. Every time she met this person, she felt the hairs on her body stand on end, as if she was being stared at by a wild beast. She felt very uncomfortable.
In the past, she would have definitely panicked and fled.
But now, she just took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and looked up again.
As a result... Yan Fengxiao was still looking at her.
Qin Mingzhu couldn't help but touch her face.
Is there something dirty on her face?
Otherwise, why does Yan Fengxiao always stare at her like this?
"I didn't expect you to come here in person, Feng Xiao. You've really worked hard. Your elder brother is in trouble, and I've been too busy to take care of him recently. If I haven't been able to entertain you well, I hope you will bear with me."
Old Madam Yan was very polite to Yan Fengxiao, and even if she had a lot of thoughts on her mind, she didn't dare to reveal them at all.
Even when he spoke, there was a hint of fear.
Yan Fengxiao was born out of wedlock, and suffered a lot of abuse in the Marquis' Mansion when he was young. Outsiders didn't know this, but many old people in the mansion knew that the old lady in their mansion was not a good person either.
However, the old lady is still Yan Fengxiao's biological mother after all. Even if Yan Fengxiao doesn't want to acknowledge her, filial piety is the most important thing, so he can't treat the old lady Yan in front of outsiders. The mother and son have to get along on the surface.
Yan Fengxiao's expression was cold. "I'm just following orders. As for my elder brother's affairs, I hope my mother will accept my condolences."
Old Madam Yan raised her hand and wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.
She sobbed a few times before saying, "I'm old, and I have to send someone young off. Your second brother isn't a very ambitious person, so from now on, this huge mansion will have to rely on you, Feng Xiao."
A cold look flashed in Yan Fengxiao's eyes.
But there was no rebuttal.
His gaze fell on Qin Mingzhu beside Old Lady Yan, and the light in his eyes became noticeably gentler.
"Is my sister-in-law in good health?"
This sudden concern made Qin Mingzhu's heart beat unsteadily for a moment, but she immediately reacted and replied respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, Governor. I'm much better now."
Yan Fengxiao seemed to be just giving ordinary comfort.
However, he lowered his eyes slightly, with a hint of hesitation and deep thought hidden in his cold and sharp eyes. He suddenly turned back to the horse he was riding behind him and took out a very delicate jade box from a bag beside him.
"The Emperor knows that my sister-in-law has been ill for a long time, so he specially asked me to bring this to my sister-in-law for her health. Please accept it."
Qin Mingzhu was stunned, and Chunhua took the initiative to bring the jade box to her.
The jade box is not too heavy, and it is crystal clear and cool to the touch. The cost of this box alone is priceless.
Even without seeing what's inside, you know it must be an extremely rare treasure.
She raised her bare hand, carefully opened a gap and took a look.
A faint bitter smell hits you in the face.
Inside the jade box lay a ginseng that was very well preserved and had an enchanting posture.
Qin Mingzhu's family is in business. She has a good eye and is very knowledgeable. She could tell at a glance that this ginseng was extraordinary.
This is definitely a wild ginseng that is hundreds of years old and is rarely seen in the entire territory of Southern Yan!
Old Madam Yan was standing nearby, and she also saw this thing with her sharp eyes. A hint of jealousy instantly flashed in her eyes.
You know, this good thing can't be bought even if you have money. She is old and her health is getting worse. If this thing is given to her, it will definitely be a good thing that can save her life at a critical moment.
Thinking of this, Madam Yan suddenly came over, stretched out her hand and pressed the box in Qin Mingzhu's hand, and said earnestly: "Mingzhu, this thing is precious, don't drop it by mistake. I will have someone take it to the treasury in the backyard."
