Chapter 40 Seizing the credit

Qin Xixi felt that she had another strange dream.

Just like the dream when her elder brother and Zhou Fangze went to investigate forage.

In a daze, she actually saw Zhou Fangze walking into her elder brother's yard.

Her eyes widened instantly. What was Zhou Fangze doing? No one comes to see you

for no reason. What Zhou Fangze did must not be good.

Qin Qixuan thought so too.

He had taken medicine and was resting in his room. When he saw Zhou Fangze coming in, he immediately became alert.

"What are you doing here?"

Zhou Fangze was confident and squinted his eyes at Qin Qixuan.

"This time, it was all thanks to my quick reaction and strong vigilance. And you, are just a good-for-nothing who fell into Wang Yao's trap and was caught by him. It was also you who delayed our progress in checking the grain and fodder. When you heard about drinking and eating, you hurried over and didn't find the drugs in the wine. It was me who noticed it and ran out to report it at all costs."

How could he be so shameless!

Qin Xixi puffed up her cheeks in anger.

Zhou Fangze explained this to the little grandson and the prince consort when the eldest brother was away. Let's just say he was a habitual liar who wanted to monopolize the credit.

But he dared to distort right and wrong and twist the facts in front of the eldest brother. It was obvious that he wanted the eldest brother to change his words and admit that everything was Zhou Fangze's credit!

Qin Qixuan also frowned at this time.

He had known for a long time that Zhou Fangze was unreliable. Who knew that he risked his life to let Zhou Fangze go out to report the news, but Zhou Fangze wanted to take all the credit.

But even if Zhou Fangze came to show off to him now, as long as he reported the truth to His Royal Highness the Grandson, all of Zhou Fangze's lies would be exposed.

How could he be sure that he would not tell the truth?

Zhou Fangze seemed to see through what he was thinking, and a scornful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Don't really exaggerate to the little grandson and take all the credit from me. Even if you say it, His Royal Highness the Grandson and Lord Fu will not believe it!"

Qin Xixi was very angry. Zhou Fangze's words implied that the credit for the grain and grass was his, and he also threatened his eldest brother not to refute it. Where did he get the face!

Qin Qixuan was also very angry.

"How can you be so shameless!"

Zhou Fangze laughed indifferently.

"I am shameless? How can the eldest son Qin be shameless. I know that the eldest son Qin had a secret meeting with a girl before he left. I don't know if this will be spread out..."

Qin Qixuan didn't expect that he would use this matter to threaten him.

And... this is indeed true.

His face was ashen.

Qin Qixuan has always had a fiancée named Wen Yanya.

Previously, the emperor wanted to find a son-in-law for the princess. Wen Yanya got the news and her eyes turned red instantly.

But if the emperor really issued an edict to grant marriage, Qin Qixuan would have to bite the bullet and marry the princess.

But Wen Yanya really likes Qin Qixuan and is unwilling to be a concubine.

Fortunately, the emperor did not really want to grant marriage, so Wen Yanya was relieved.

After thinking clearly about her feelings, Wen Yanya told Qin Qixuan in the form of a letter.

He just realized the feelings of his fiancée for him, blushed, and vowed not to let the girl down.

Unexpectedly, the Wen family would leave the capital in a few days.

Wen Yanya's eyes were red from crying again. She was reluctant to leave Qin Qixuan, so she met with him privately.

Qin Qixuan didn't know how Zhou Fangze knew it.

He was afraid that someone would find someone to keep an eye on his every move, just to find something to hold against him, like threatening him like this.

He sank his face.

If he told others, it would not have any impact on him.

But Wen Yanya's reputation would be ruined.

If something happened to him in the future, and Wen Yanya's reputation was ruined because of him, the girl would definitely have a hard time.

"I promised you not to tell anyone. But you have kept this to yourself since then. If I hear any rumors, I will tell everyone that you stole the credit."

Qin Qixuan had no choice but to submit.

How shameless!

Qin Xixi's eyes were full of fire, and she was awakened by anger.

When she woke up, she saw Pei Xuanyi, and she was furious.

The little grandson of the emperor was about to give Zhou Fangze an award!

It really made her uncomfortable.

Pei Xuanyi reached out to hug her when he saw her wake up.

Little Xixi was so cute! There was a smile in his eyes.

I don't want you to hug me!

Qin Xixi pouted and stretched out her hand to stop the little grandson of the emperor from getting close.

She pinched the little grandson of the emperor's face hard to express her dissatisfaction.

But how much strength could her little hands have? This strong pinch only made Pei Xuanyi feel itchy.

Pei Xuanyi thought Xixi was playing with him, and still wanted to hug her with a smile.

Who knew that Xixi turned over again and avoided his hand.

Seeing this, Fu Qian directly hugged Qin Xixi, but she did not resist.

Is this directed at him? Pei Xuanyi was puzzled.

But he didn't doubt it for long.

The subordinates came to report that Qin Qixuan had woken up.

Pei Xuanyi and Fu Qian's expressions became serious.

It was time to reward the two of them.

They carried Xixi to Qin Qixuan's room.

When Qin Qixuan saw the two people come in, his eyes became a little vague.

Fu Qian didn't notice and gently asked him how he was.

"You suddenly fainted, which really scared us. Fortunately, the doctor said that you were just overworked and didn't have any major problems with your internal organs."

Qin Qixuan heard him say this and quickly said that he was in good health now and could still travel with them.

Pei Xuanyi signaled him not to worry.

"It's okay, Brother Qixuan, take a good rest. Now the rations and fodder need to be counted, and the team also needs to be reorganized. We can set off tomorrow."

"Qixuan, what happened between you and Zhou Fangze with the rations and fodder before? Zhou Fangze said..."

Fu Qian told him what Zhou Fangze said.

Unexpectedly, Qin Qixuan remained silent and did not refute at all.

Pei Xuanyi frowned.

"Brother Qixuan, you can say whatever you want. Lord Fu and I will do justice for you."

Qin Qixuan's expression was gloomy, but he still said nothing.

"I appreciate your kindness, Your Highness, but Qixuan..."

Qin Qixuan couldn't say anything that would offend him, and he couldn't break his promise, so he had to stop.

Pei Xuanyi and Fu Qian looked at each other.

They didn't believe that Qin Qixuan would do such a stupid thing.

It seemed that there was some difficulty.

But now that Qin Qixuan refused to speak, they had no choice.

The only beneficiary was Zhou Fangze, and it seemed that Zhou Fangze had something on Qin Qixuan.

Fu Qian sighed.

"We all believe in you. You should be careful in the future."

Qin Qixuan was stunned, his eyes slightly red, and nodded silently.

He really didn't expect that even so, the emperor's grandson and Lord Fu still believed in him.

Looking at Xixi who was held by Fu Qian, Qin Qixuan's expression softened.

Although he didn't see that Qin Xixi didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Master Fu, let me hold Xixi."

Qin Qixuan is Qin Xixi's elder brother, so it is reasonable for him to ask for this. Fu Qian wanted to return Qin Xixi to him immediately.

But Qin Xixi refused to leave Fu Qian's arms.

It was Fu Qian's turn to be puzzled.

How come he got this blessing today?

The little girl didn't want His Royal Highness the Grandson to hold her, nor did she want her elder brother to hold her.

But she took a fancy to him!

Fu Qian suddenly laughed.
