Chapter 139 Madam Shaohua's Background
The Third Old Lady was the first to grit her teeth and said, "Qianqian, tell me, did your Third Uncle do something shameful in the past and give birth to a sinner?"
Several people in the hall were elders, and they all stared at Su Qianqian. The fate of the third master's remaining life depended on Su Qianqian's words.
"No, no, it's Madam Shaohua who looks like the Marquis, not my third uncle." Su Qianqian quickly clarified.
This time it was Du's turn to be stunned...
After a moment of silence, Madam Qin spoke first: "In fact, in terms of age, Madam Shaohua is only a few years younger than Hanwei..."
The corner of Mrs. Du's eyes twitched violently!
“But think about it again, Han Wei was fighting on the battlefield at that time, how could he have the leisure time to do stupid things?
Moreover, Han Wei doesn’t understand anything when he is young, but once he falls in love, he will be deeply affectionate. Yun Qi knows this. In fact, all four of them, father and son, have this kind of temperament…”
Mrs. Du couldn't help but lower her head and wiped the corners of her eyes quietly, agreeing with what Madam Qin said.
"That's not what granddaughter-in-law meant. I was asking if there is anyone in the side branches who looks similar..." Su Qianqian explained quickly.
[My dear, it turns out there is a big melon hidden here! 】The system’s exclamation interrupted Su Qianqian’s words.
[What a big news! You’re so surprised! I haven’t explained it clearly yet! Su Qianqian didn't want to pay attention to the system, and continued: "Looks like my father."
"Not really." Mrs. Qin thought for a while and shook her head.
[There is no one in the side branches, but there is one in Madam Shaohua’s family. Do you know who it is? 】
The system is keeping you in suspense again.
[Where does Madam Shaohua come from?] Su Qianqian was even more puzzled. It was not common to see family members working in the Jiaofang Bureau.
[Mrs. Shaohua's original surname was Gu, and her father, Gu Yunqing, was once the prefect of Hun'an.
That year, arsenic, which was used as a medicinal ingredient in Hun'an, leaked out. Someone found out that the amount was far more than the amount reported by the government. The censor impeached Gu Yunqing, who committed suicide out of fear of punishment after being imprisoned.
When Gu Yunqing's wife heard the news, she could not bear it and was sent to be a government slave so she hanged herself. Her seven-year-old daughter Gu Yin was sent to the Music Bureau, but her nine-year-old son was taken away from the government slaves by the eldest princess and became the current Eunuch Liang. 】
The system sounded a little tired when it said this. In order to show the effect of its upgrade, it had been trying hard to check Madam Shaohua's time information, so it was silent for a long time.
The Qin family members looked calm on the surface, but they were shocked in their hearts. The incident that happened in Hun'an Prefecture that year caused a sensation in Xijing. A prefect sold poison privately, allowing many evil people to use it to kill people without being able to verify it. It was indeed a heinous crime.
It turns out that Madam Shaohua is the daughter of the prefect? Moreover, Eunuch Liang and Madam Shaohua are actually siblings!
[Gu Yin changed her name to Shaohua in the Music Bureau. Later she found out that her brother was still alive. In order for her brother to have a better life with the princess, her sister did her best to work for the princess. In order for her sister to escape from the sea of suffering, her brother did his best to work for the princess.
Until nine years ago, the eldest princess ordered Gu Yin to seduce the military officer Zhou Tang and marry him, in order to take away an important thing from Zhou Tang. Only then was Gu Yin freed from her status as a slave and married the divorced Zhou Tang.
However, Gu Yin did not find the thing and was suspected by Zhou Tang. Less than three days later, Zhou Tang accidentally fell to his death. Gu Yin then became a household magistrate and worked secretly for the princess.
The young lady said that the one who looks like the Marquis should be Eunuch Liang. If Madam Shaohua is 30% similar, Eunuch Liang is probably at least 70% similar. This is probably why the eldest princess castrated him and made him a eunuch. 】
The Qin family's Madam and several daughters-in-law seemed to be chatting casually, but in fact they were terrified by what they heard.
According to this age, it was ten years after Mrs. Du married the old marquis, and after the eldest princess met the criminal of the Gu family. Because he looked like the old marquis when he was young, she took him in as her own eunuch.
Eunuch "Liang", the old marquis's name is Qin Shiliang, this eldest princess really has a deep obsession!
[It’s terrifying when you think about it!] The eldest princess seemed a little dull and not good at speaking, and acted low-key and cautious, but it turned out that she could be so crazy and critical! No wonder the son he gave birth to is also crazy, and he also brought up a crazy daughter-in-law! 】
Su Qianqian couldn't help but complain in her heart.
[My lady, you must be more careful in the future. Although Lu Jing did not see you today, the fact that you were taken away by the Marquis cannot be concealed. Madam Shaohua will not let Eunuch Liang put himself in danger, so the only possibility is that she will put the blame on you. 】
The system reminded Su Qianqian with a little concern.
[When you try to hit a wolf with a stick, both ends are afraid. I have to be careful of her. She is also afraid of using the weapon to hurt the rat. Lu Jing was willing to arouse the suspicion of Sun Yuanwailang and follow him into Xie Fangyuan to get the booklet. If it really falls into my hands now, won’t they, mother and son, be nervous? 】
Su Qianqian was not that worried. These powerful people would not easily act openly and blatantly. They would always weigh the consequences, but it was possible for them to act behind the scenes.
[My lady, have you ever thought about why the princess asked Eunuch Liang to find Madam Shaohua in person and sent Lu Jing to get the book? Isn't that just adding unnecessary details? 】
The system guides Su Qianqian to expand her thinking.
[You mean... Lu Jing was not assigned by the princess, but he wanted to get the booklet himself. He and his mother are not on the same page! 】
Su Qianqian suddenly realized.
[That’s right!] Lu Jing wants to get the booklet himself to control the overall situation, and even threaten the princess!
So the princess will not be angry because of Lu Jing's failure. You have helped her in this regard. But because of this, it shows that this booklet is very important to the princess. It depends on whether you can decipher it. 】
The system learned the Northeastern grandma's accent from somewhere, which made Su Qianqian both amused and nostalgic.
[I don't want to think too much about it. Even if the secret is solved, she is the high and mighty princess. How big a mistake would it take for the emperor to punish her? It's just looking for a scapegoat! Holding this now would only make her feel cautious.
But there is one thing that can be used: the relationship between Lu Jing and his mother. 】
The conversation between the system and Su Qianqian was heard by all the top leaders of the Qin family. The second master shrank his neck to reduce his presence. He was very comfortable being a rogue recently and getting along with his colleagues easily. For these brain-consuming things, he just had to obey orders honestly.
"Qianqian, you must not walk around alone in the future. Our Wuning Marquisate has as much honor on the surface as it does in secret. There are many people eyeing us covetously. Don't let them shoot arrows at you from behind."
Madam Qin still gave Su Qianqian some instructions. Although she admired her courage and wisdom, she did not want her to take risks alone.
"Yes, grandma, my granddaughter-in-law knows." Su Qianqian agreed obediently as usual.
Several people looked up at her, their eyes all asking: How dare you make such a promise again?
"Tomorrow there will be rumors in the market that the cousin of Wuning Marquis Mansion visited Madam Shaohua, and Wuning Marquis brought his personal guards into Xie Fangyuan to retrieve the cousin for Madam Shaohua. Wuning Marquis Mansion is acting ridiculously."
Qin Hanzhang glanced at Su Qianqian and said in a deep voice.
Su Qianqian's eyes lit up: "So the Marquis has already made arrangements. This is the best method. Let's make the matter of entering Xie Fangyuan public, and even let the emperor know about it. We can attack or defend, and make the princess dare not act rashly."
Qin Hanzhang nodded in agreement, and Madam Qin nodded approvingly.
"Madam, the Fifth Young Master is here, he... he was beaten!" Madam Duan, who was beside the Madam, reported outside the door, and everyone in the room was shocked.
