She shared her guess with Yi Shuihan.
Yi Shuihan sent men to arrest Qin Shi.
The first trial revealed that Qin was indeed connected with Xilin.
—She was Xilin's spy planted in Da Xi.
Over the years, taking advantage of her status as the Duchess of Shunyi, she has passed on a great deal of intelligence to Xilin.
If Tan Ruoyan hadn't been exposed by Xiao Qingyin, and hadn't been dragged out along with her, she doesn't know how long she would have remained in hiding.
With her captured, Shunyi Bo and Tan Ruoyan, who were close to her, were naturally interrogated as well.
The two men were summoned to the Dali Temple, and after hearing about Qin's affair, they were both as if struck by lightning.
"Yunlan, is she... a spy for Xilin?"
The Earl of Shunyi found it hard to believe.
“She is clearly a member of the Qin family. The Qin family has been musicians for generations, and their background is impeccable.”
The Dali Temple Minister in charge of the interrogation kindly told him, "The real Qin was killed by the Xilin people when she was twelve years old. The one who was replaced by Qin in the brothel has always been the current one."
The Earl of Shunyi fell silent for a moment.
Tan Ruoyan simply couldn't accept it.
"How could my mother be a spy!"
She screamed loudly.
"Was it Situ Zhi and Xiao Qingyin who instigated this? We're already disgraced, and they still frame us as spies! Are they trying to wipe us out?!"
She kept cursing, and the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, annoyed by her noise, ordered someone to take her to the torture chamber.
Upon seeing the room full of torture instruments, she fell silent.
After interrogation, the father and daughter were found to know nothing about Qin's identity and were released.
However, the news that Qin was a spy was reported by "Xiwen" and sparked heated discussions again.
Xiao Qingyin was somewhat disappointed after reading Qin's statement.
Qin was raised as a spy from a young age. When she was eleven or twelve, she was sent to Da Xi to pass on intelligence through a single line and knew little about what was happening in Xi Lin.
We know nothing about Fu Junshi's abduction.
She can forget about getting any information from her.
Yi Shuihan reassured him, "Don't worry, I have people in Xilin too. I've already sent a message to them, asking them to investigate. I believe we'll have news in a few days."
Xiao Qingyin nodded: "Okay."
Seeing that she didn't mention bringing the bird over to exchange people, Yi Shuihan felt somewhat relieved.
Princess Xilin had always been after her and Wei Yan. Whether it was Ning Shi or Fu Junshi, they were all used as bait to lure them to Xilin.
Ning was rescued, but Fu Junshi fell into their hands.
She always cared about the people around her, and he was genuinely afraid that she might act impulsively and actually run off to Xilin.
He had never been to Xilin, the capital city, but he knew that it was heavily fortified and heavily guarded, with strict checks for entry and exit. People from other countries, unless they were envoys, were not allowed to enter.
If she really goes, she will likely fall into the hands of the Xilin people.
Then it became what she called the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, and they went to deliver the gifts one by one.
Seeing his relieved expression, Xiao Qingyin immediately understood what he was thinking and smiled, "I still know my limits."
She desperately wanted to save Fu Junshi.
But she never does anything she's not sure about.
Now that Fu Junshi's fate is unknown, his whereabouts are unknown, and it's not even known whether he's really in Xilin Kingdom, how could she possibly rush over there after reading a letter from the Princess of Xilin?
No matter how anxious we are, we have to wait until we find the person first.
Yi Shuihan hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder.
"That's good. I don't want my wife to pack her bags and run away on the third day of our marriage."
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
I didn't want to run, but after hearing what he said, I feel a little itchy. What should I do?
She stroked the man's face: "Alright, you go ahead and do your work. I need to go see my mother."
Yi Shuihan reluctantly let go of her hand.
Yun had already returned to the General's Mansion. When Xiao Qingyin arrived, she was sitting under the eaves, lost in thought, clutching the sword tassel.
Xiao Qingyin called her name, and she finally came to her senses.
"Yinyin, you're here?"
"Um."
Xiao Qingyin sat down next to her.
"Yi Shuihan has already ordered people to investigate Uncle Fu's whereabouts, and it may take a few days before we have any news."
A hint of sadness flashed across Yun's eyes.
On the surface, he comforted her, saying, "Since the other party has taken him hostage, his life should be safe for the time being. Don't worry too much. Just don't listen to that princess and go to Xilin to exchange him."
She felt sorry for Fu Junshi, and she also felt sorry for her daughter. She would never let her go to exchange him for him.
Xiao Qingyin chuckled: "Mother, I'm not that stupid."
She changed the subject, talking about some interesting things that had happened at the Yong'an Marquis's residence in the past few days, in order to divert Yun's attention.
From her words, Lady Yun could tell that Marquis Yong'an and Princess Zhaoyang treated her very well, which put her at ease.
"Don't just think about being a hands-off manager. You still have to take charge of what you're supposed to do. You can't push everything onto Jiuheng. He has a lot of things to do in court too."
Xiao Qingyin drawled, "I understand."
Looking at her thinner face, Madam Yun smiled and said, "I'll have the kitchen stew some pigeons for you to help you recover."
"Thank you, Mother!"
Xiao Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was in much better spirits.
After Yi Shuihan arrived and they had dinner together, she instructed Fu Weiyun: "Talk to Mother more, don't let her overthink things."
Fu Weiyun nodded: "I will."
Xiao Qingyin waved her hand: "Your brother-in-law and I are leaving first."
After saying this, he bid farewell to Yun Shi and Fu Weiyun, and got into the carriage.
This pigeon soup was a bit too nourishing; Xiao Qingyin broke out in a sweat and couldn't help but loosen her waistband to cool down.
My hand accidentally touched the string of dzi beads I was wearing around my neck, and my skin stung.
