Chapter 130 The Third Master Wants to Commit Suicide
Meng stood up and ran out without saying anything, with Qin Hanjin following closely behind.
All the bad things had to be put to rest. Mrs. Du supported Madam Qin, accompanied by Qin Hanzhang and Su Qianqian, and went to Qin Hanjin's yard. Now the third master was living in his son's yard.
[What's going on? Why would you commit suicide for no reason? Is he feeling ashamed now and committing suicide out of fear of punishment? 】
Su Qianqian discussed with the system quietly in her heart.
[This girl thinks too much. As for the little girl who guessed that the Fifth Young Master was seriously ill, you would know if you went to see him...]
The system is lazy.
When Su Qianqian and Qin Hanzhang walked into the Third Master's room, they saw the Third Master holding the scimitar in his hand, sitting there in his inner clothes, staring at Meng.
"Shitong, what are you doing?" Madam Qin walked in slowly, looked at the knife in her son's hand, her face as gloomy as water.
"Mother, you are finally willing to see your son." The third master put down the knife, his eyes red with grievance. When he saw Su Qianqian and Qin Hanzhang, he wiped his eyes embarrassedly.
"Mother is asking you what you are doing, didn't you hear it?" Meng's voice was trembling, and it was unclear whether it was because of anger or worry.
“I, I just want to try the feeling of eating big chunks of meat with a knife when I was in Northern Xinjiang.
At that time, I could eat a piece of meat, drink a bowl of sour old wine, and I was filled with joy knowing that I was alive again. However, now that I have returned to Xijing and have everything I need, why do I still fall into traps despite being so cautious? I miss the days of charging into battle in the northern border. ”
The third master pointed to the wine and meat on the table.
Everyone in the room was silent.
"Even if you want to eat meat, why do you need to use a scimitar? Do you know how worried I...mother is about you? The girl thought you were going to do something stupid, and the whole family is worried about you. Are you satisfied?"
Meng suddenly yelled at the Third Master, who involuntarily fell to his knees on the ground.
"Mother, I didn't mean to make you worry. I was wrong. Please punish me."
"You said you were wrong and let your mother punish you, but you covered up everything? You only suffered physical pain, but do you know that others suffered heart-wrenching pain?"
Meng said this loudly in a trembling voice, then turned and walked out of the room.
The third master wanted to get up and chase after her, but when he looked at Madam Qin, he knelt there again without moving.
Madam Qin was silent for a moment and then sighed, "Get up, you are not well yet. No matter what mistakes your children make, as a mother, you will feel bad if they are punished.
If my mother lets this matter go easily, how can it be fair to Xinyue? But how could her mother bear to see her son, whom she had longed to see with all her heart, still with scars from swords and guns, and then with more wounds from punishment with her own hands? ”
Madam Qin walked over and held out her hand to help the Third Master up: "This is also my mother's fault. I only taught you to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, but never taught you to be on guard against others. You thought you were just making a mistake that all men would make, but it's a pity that you were born in the Wuning Marquis's Mansion. This is a mistake upon a mistake."
The third master couldn't help crying: "It's my son's fault, it has nothing to do with my mother. My son knows he is wrong, so he should be punished."
Madam Qin gently stroked the Third Master's shoulder and said, "You should correct your mistakes if you know them. You should sincerely admit your mistakes to Xinyue and ask for her forgiveness. As for whether she will forgive you, it depends on the relationship between you two.
My son, the wealth and splendor of the Marquis Wuning’s Mansion is not so easy to enjoy. You must be more vigilant in the future. ”
The Third Master nodded repeatedly, and Madam Qin reached out and picked up the scimitar on the table:
"The sword is sheathed, the armor is covered with dust. Isn't this what we in Wuning Marquisate hope for the most? Don't take out this sword easily in the future. If you take it out again, it must be used in battle to kill the enemy. In this Xijing City, teeth are more useful than swords most of the time."
The third master nodded solemnly, thinking it was a false alarm. Madam Qin gave a few instructions and returned to Fushou Hall. When he walked out the door, he saw Meng leaving in a hurry.
"Uncle San is truly repentant. I heard that he endured the pain every day to go to Aunt San to admit his mistakes, but every time he was chased out by Aunt San with a stick."
Su Qianqian spoke to comfort Madam Qin, saying that mothers are selfish and would never want to hear others say bad things about their children.
"Alas, this is the torture they deserve. I am too old to do anything about it. Just let them be." Mrs. Qin waved her hands. She was finally relieved that her son was fine.
Knowing that the Third Master was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Su Qianqian had threatened to hang herself before, and now the Third Master wanted to commit suicide. If this continues, we really need to find a Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirits.
On the way back to Tinglan Courtyard, Qin Hanzhang dismissed the maids and servants and his expression became serious.
"I have looked into this poison. It is called Moci and it also came from the Valley of Evil in Southern Xinjiang. Two years ago, someone was selling this poison for a price of 1,000 taels of gold. Later, he boasted that he had sold out all of it overnight and became extremely wealthy.
The person who bought this poison was very secretive. It was said that it was very miraculous back then. Now the only person who can be found is an official family with the surname Wu. The truth of this is still unknown. ”
Qin Hanzhang frowned and walked beside the sedan chair with his hands behind his back. The corners of his ink-black cloak were lifted by the night wind, like the wings of a giant bird.
"Since he said his surname is Wu, it may not be just a rumor. In order to cover up the truth, it may be regarded as a lie. So this official with the surname Wu should be investigated."
Based on her own thoughts, Su Qianqian felt that this person named Wu was suspicious.
"Yeah, that makes sense." Qin Hanzhang nodded.
"There is one more thing. I sent a message to the Queen Mother about this matter and asked her to consider it. Later, she sent a message saying that the maid had caught a cold and died. I don't know if there is any hidden reason behind this."
"Oh? So..." Su Qianqian stretched out her tone, "Then I should also die, at least I should be unable to speak. But there is also Lu Zhiqing in this matter, so I need to spend more time thinking about it."
"Madam means to lure the snake out of its hole..."
"Catch the turtle in the jar!" Su Qianqian said according to Qin Hanzhang's words.
"It's not that difficult. Prime Minister Xue also met with me privately today. Madam Xiao found that there was something wrong with Miss Lu's wine, so she brought it back to Prime Minister Xue for investigation. Prime Minister Xue was worried that there was something wrong with your wine, so he came to find me. Prime Minister Xue is bound to find out the truth and why someone went to so much trouble to murder his adopted daughter."
Qin Hanzhang continued.
"This is quite a coincidence. No matter what happens next, I must first catch this bastard... villain who harmed me." Su Qianqian changed her words in time to maintain her own image.
"Then let's do it this way. Fortunately, there is no rush in the next two days. September 3rd is my father-in-law's birthday, which is three days from now. By then, I will accompany you back to the Taifu Mansion to celebrate his birthday, and there will be no time to act accordingly after that."
Qin Hanzhang made arrangements in an orderly manner.
[My time management is pretty good. I didn't delay anything. I was able to deal with my mother's dowry in public at the birthday party. I killed two birds with one stone. It seems that except for being a little ignorant of matters between men and women, I am still capable as a leader. 】
Su Qianqian gave Qin Hanzhang another point.
Qin Hanzhang coughed lightly and paused, then he remembered something: "Do you know that the two officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple have become enemies because of fighting for Master Su Qian to be the recorder?"
