Chapter 19 Zhou Yiyang's son

Not only does the concubine have a daughter who is the same age as Xixi, but Zhou Yiyang actually has a son with Zhou Qing?

Since they are not twins, then he must be Zhou Fangyu's brother.

"How old is the concubine's son...?"

Qin Qixuan held his mother's hand.

"I haven't seen him, but I heard... he is the same age as me now and has also participated in the imperial examination."

Qin Shu's body swayed for a while, and then stabilized.

The only thing left for Zhou Yiyang was hatred, and now she hated him even more.

"How dare he do that! I got pregnant with you right after I got married to him. If Zhou Qing's son is the same age as you, could it be that he had been involved with Zhou Qing before I got married?"

Qin Shu really didn't expect that this marriage was a joke from the beginning. Zhou Yiyang actually betrayed her so early, but she didn't realize it until Xixi was left alone.

Qin Shu should have been heartbroken and in agony, but now she was numb. She

didn't have any expectations for Zhou Yiyang's character. He could do anything. Now she was at most a little shocked.

"Mother, take care of yourself, don't get hurt for him."

Qin Shu looked at her son's worried expression, smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

Not wanting to mention this person again, Qin Shu turned around and asked about the horse parade.

"If His Majesty really wants to choose a consort for the princess and chooses you, what should I do?"

Qin Qixuan didn't expect his mother to bring up this question. He had never thought about his own marriage and was a little confused.

Qin Shu knew from his expression that he didn't have any ideas.

"Your marriage is entirely up to you. The Qin family doesn't need to use your marriage to gain power. As long as the girl has good character and personality and is compatible with you, mother can accept it."

These words made Qin Qixuan blush, and only then did he see a bit of the shyness of a young man.

Qixuan was still forced to take on the responsibility of the eldest son too early, Qin Shu sighed in her heart.

"Mother believes you can handle it. If you don't want to be a consort, the Qin family still has the confidence to refuse."

Although Qin Shu said so, if His Majesty really grants the marriage, how many lives will the Qin family have to resist the order? Qin Qixuan knew it in his heart.

Let's take it one step at a time, he thought.

After a few days of everyone's own thoughts, the day of His Majesty's Golden Science Banquet finally arrived. Everyone in

the Qin family got up very early, and Qin Shu didn't sleep all night, fearing that if they had any mistakes tomorrow, it would involve Qin Qixuan.

Before getting on the carriage, Qin Shu checked it carefully again, and after making sure there was no problem, she sent Qin Qixuan to sit on it.

As soon as the eldest brother left, Qin Shu suddenly heard the voice of the third brother. She turned around and saw that the third brother was holding her daughter and excitedly wanted to watch the excitement.

"Mom, I also want to see my eldest brother riding a horse in the parade!"

[Me too, me too! Let me see it too, Mom!]

Qin Shu hesitated.

"There are too many people today. I need to stay in the mansion to entertain the guests. I can't go with you to take good care of Xixi. I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

The third brother felt that there was some truth in his mother's words. He was thinking about whether he should leave his sister alone. He lowered his head and met Qin Xixi's big watery eyes.

[Brother, take me!]

For a moment, the third brother felt that he was the only one who could save his sister now.

And the last time his sister was angry with him, he had just coaxed her and his sister was willing to let him hold her. If he

didn't take her this time, what if Xixi got angry and ignored him again?

"Mother, let my younger sister go. I will take care of her and promise that she will come back the same way she left!"

[Third brother, I was right about you! Third brother is awesome!]

After receiving the compliment from little Xixi, the third brother suddenly became like a proud little peacock.

Qin Shu looked at the two children in front of her and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Thinking about it carefully, the third brother loves to join in the fun the most. In recent days, he has changed his temperament and devoted himself to studying. Although he is not as good as the eldest brother, he is praised by the teacher from time to time.

This time when Qin Qixuan is riding a horse and parading in the streets, it is not a bad idea to let him go and relax.

Although the third brother is careless, he is really good to his younger sister. Qin Shu is relieved to leave Xixi to him.

Qin Shu nodded, signaling them to bring more maids and more money, and buy whatever they want.

[Mother is so nice, Third Brother is so nice! Let's go out and play!]

Qin Xixi danced with joy, clapping her hands together.

"Go quickly, don't delay the time."

The two immediately called a few maids and went out happily. After

Qin Shu finished giving the order, she looked at Li Dequan who had just trotted over to deliver the message.

Zhou Yiyang bribed Li Dequan with money before, and he pretended to be greedy and agreed to be Zhou Yiyang's insider.

In fact, he was also Qin Shu's insider, helping her monitor whether Zhou Yiyang was doing anything.

Just kidding, he still knows which is more important, life or money.

Qin Shu had told Li Dequan not to look for her unless necessary and to reduce contact, and his appearance here at this time means that they have caught a big fish.

Sure enough, Li Dequan whispered to Qin Shu about Zhou Yiyang's whereabouts.

"After a while, he will contact businessmen from other countries. The action is very covert, and I don't know what goods are traded, but I feel it is very suspicious." Finally, the truth

was revealed. Qin Shu sneered.

The goods traded must be food and grass. After Zhou Yiyang was honest for a while, he started to commit suicide again.

"I know. During this period of time, you keep an eye on him first, and send someone to tell me if there is any action."

After experiencing some turmoil, Qin Shu finally got some time.

Qin Xixi and the others walked for a while and got off at the largest restaurant in Beijing.

"Sister, I know the best room in this restaurant for watching the horse parade! Check it out."

[Third brother always liked to have fun, it's always good to follow him! ]

Qin Xixi believed him in this aspect.

The third brother felt that he was being praised and was even more smug.

"Shopkeeper, let's go to Tianzi No. 2."

But the shopkeeper looked embarrassed.

"Mr. Qin San, Tianzi No. 2 is already occupied. Do you want to change to another one?"

"That room was clearly reserved for me before, how could it be occupied by someone else?"

The third brother was a little angry. He had boasted to his sister, why did the shopkeeper let him down like this?

As he talked, he got a little angry and walked towards Tianzi No. 2 with his sister in his arms.

The shopkeeper quickly stopped him with a bitter face.

On one side, he was a noble who could not be offended, and on the other side, he was a wealthy son of a royal merchant, leaving him, a commoner, in a dilemma.

"Sir, there are nobles inside, we can't afford to offend them. How about this, you stay in Tianzi No. 3 this time, I will prepare a table of delicious food for you!"

The third brother didn't listen. What nobles?

He had already agreed with his sister to watch the eldest brother's parade in this room, so it must be Tianzi No. 2!

"Take this money. Leave this room to me."

He took out three times the fee, but the shopkeeper didn't dare to accept it.

"You..."

The third brother was about to get angry, but he saw the door of Tianzi No. 2 opened.

And the one who opened the door was Pei Xuanyi, the grandson of the emperor.
