Chapter 18 The girl next to you is a spy
Qin Hanzhang didn't say anything. He lowered his eyes and rubbed the scar at the corner of his eye. He was thinking about Su Qianqian's attitude. She didn't seem to care about a girl climbing into her bed, but she was so wary of Lu Zhiqing before. Could it be that the girl was not as threatening as Lu Zhiqing?
Lu Zhiqing is just his adopted sister. Since Su Qianqian cares so much about it, there must be a reason. I really need to pay more attention to it and investigate it privately.
After Su Geng paid his respects and saw that Qin Hanzhang did not respond, he walked to Su Qianqian, naturally took the fan from Su Ye's hand, and gently fanned Su Qianqian.
Su Qianqian just smiled and didn't say much, because the system was chattering at this time: [This big girl Su Geng's rank is higher than He Xiang! 】
[I don't really care what her rank is. I just care about what gossip she has and whether it's my trap. I don't care if she traps other people, but if she traps me, I will fill it for her! 】
Su Qianqian was talking to Qin Hanzhang about Qin Fu while chatting with the system.
[Hehe, my lady is smart!] 】The system flatters in a timely manner.
[Do you know where Su Geng went after returning home? I went back to the Su Mansion to find your stepmother Zhang!
She has been Zhang's person for a long time, and she has reported all your affairs to her secretly. Knowing that the Marquis would not enter Tinglan Courtyard when he returned home, Zhang began to make preparations.
When Qi Wanniang instigated you, she was also assisting you. You became more convinced of Lu Zhiqing's threat. Your suicide by hanging was also a desperate hint she gave you. Only in this way could you take a gamble and survive!
She asked for leave to go home to avoid suspicion. Whether you are dead or alive, it has nothing to do with her. If you die and another girl is convicted, she will be safe.
Even if you are fine, the Marquis's Mansion will definitely despise you. She has already colluded with Qi Wanniang, and she will stay in the mansion after you are divorced. 】
The crisp voice of the system made the three Qin siblings feel unusually depressed. They couldn't help but sympathize with Su Qianqian, who had been living under the calculations of her stepmother for so many years!
[Zhang promised that she would let her son marry Su Geng as a concubine in the future, but Su Geng's goal was not limited to this. Ever since he met the Marquis, he had already fallen in love with him and was ready to use Zhang's power to plan for himself. 】
[Oh, this marquis is really popular, you guys can grab him if you want, but don’t step on me. Let me go and then we can compete to see who is more stubborn.
But since you want to use me as a stepping stone, don't blame me for being born with a rebellious nature and full of thorns. A gentleman will never be too late to take revenge, but a villain will take revenge from morning to night. I am that villain who will never let go of any grudge! 】
Su Qianqian sneered in her heart, but she still looked cautious on the surface. She even turned back considerately to let Su Geng take a break.
[I'm not feeling sorry for you, I'm just afraid that you will pass your bad luck to me, and then you'll be in trouble! 】
[My lady, Su Geng has done something secretly. She follows the principle of not putting all her eggs in one basket, and has been secretly communicating with Su Runqian, the eldest son of the Su family, and Zhang Ning, the cousin of the Su family. Both of them are very fond of her and work for her with all their might. She took the opportunity to appease them when she returned home these two days, and also asked the two to work for her. 】
When Su Qianqian heard this, she secretly recalled the situation of the Su family.
The Su family is a century-old family. Su Qianqian's father, Su Qi, stood out in the clan when he was young. At the age of 20, he won the top three places in the imperial examinations and became famous in the Qi Dynasty. In the same year, he married Jiang Sui, the only daughter of the Minister of Revenue, who is also Su Qianqian's mother.
Although Jiang was an only daughter, she had a gentle and docile personality. She gave birth to her eldest daughter, Su Xinxin, the second year after that, and Su Qianqian a year later.
When Su Qianqian was three years old, Su Qi had already been promoted to a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and had a bright future. Old Madam Su forced Su Qi to take her niece Zhang Xiaohong as a concubine on the grounds that Jiang had not given birth to a son.
Su Qi had always been filial to his widowed mother, and Jiang was a soft-hearted woman, so Zhang Xiaohong was brought in. She gave birth to her half brother, the eldest son Su Runqian, that year, and her half sister Su Miaomiao the following year.
Zhang gave birth to a boy, and Madam Su was very proud. A year later, Zhang gave birth to the second son, Su Runfeng. Madam Su disliked Jiang even more, and she became depressed and had to take care of her body frequently. However, she became pregnant at this time, and she gave birth to the third son, Su Runhe, despite the doctor's advice.
Jiang was very happy after giving birth to a son, and felt that she could finally hold her head up high. However, Old Madam Su still supported Zhang and suppressed Jiang.
Jiang's health had already been damaged during childbirth, and she also suffered from the cold words of her mother-in-law. She finally died when Su Runhe was four years old. That year, Su Qianqian was thirteen years old, and Su Xinxin was fifteen years old.
Fortunately, Su Qi had already been promoted to Taifu at this time, and Su Xinxin had already been engaged to Zhu Min, the prince of Duke Xuan. During the mourning period, the Zhu family married Su Xinxin.
After the mistress of the Su family passed away, Madam Su ordered Su Qi to take Zhang as his second wife and gave her the title to be in charge of the household expenses of the Su Mansion. Su Qi devoted himself to state affairs and left all these to his mother. Thus, Zhang became the legal wife, and naturally the children she gave birth to were no longer illegitimate.
This was the beginning of the disaster for Su Qianqian and Su Runhe.
Zhang, under the guise of being the mistress, ostensibly disciplined her children, but in reality she suppressed them. She deliberately let them make mistakes in front of Taifu Su, and acted like a loving mother with a bad temper, feeling guilty for not disciplining her two children well.
After that, the mistreatment became even more severe, to the point that word spread that Su Qianqian and her brother were dissatisfied with their stepmother's discipline, which made Zhang very difficult.
In fact, Zhang always reminds Su Qianqian that she is the calamity star that brings misfortune to her mother. She was born on the Ghost Festival and is hated by her father. Only by pleasing and obeying her can she have some respectability in the Su Mansion.
[So that year Su Miaomiao invited me to burn incense and suddenly pushed me into the lake. I thought I was going to die and it would be a relief, so I gave up struggling at that moment and was rescued by Qin Hanzhang.
My stepmother originally wanted to marry me to her nephew Zhang An. That playboy comes to my yard every day and says some indecent things. Between Qin Hanzhang and that scoundrel, what do you think I will choose? 】
Qin Hanzhang and his sister listened to Su Qianqian's inner thoughts and were shocked that there was such a hidden story. They completely understood and forgave what Su Qianqian had done before. Between life and death, not many people would be great enough to give up the chance to survive.
[My Lord’s choice is correct!] At the same time, Master Su is also pushing you in this direction for the sake of the Qin Family and Da Qi, and you have no choice. Woo woo, poor little master, hug and caress me! 】
【roll! 】Su Qianqian uttered a word in her heart.
The original owner had a miserable life and no one taught her to be confident, which was the reason for her tragic ending.
[I'm going to keep this Su Geng for fun. Don't tell anyone yet. I want to give her a scare every day to repay her for all the hard work she's put in for me over the years! 】
When Qin Hanzhang heard Su Qianqian's words, even though he was a veteran of many battles, he felt a chill on the back of his neck. He secretly lit a stick of incense for Su Geng, fearing that even gods and Buddhas could not save her.
"My lord, is there anything else I can say?" Su Qianqian asked curiously when she saw that Qin Hanzhang remained silent and did not mention leaving.
"Nothing, I'll go to the study then. Dinner..." Qin Hanzhang stood up a little embarrassedly, as he was being chased away.
"Don't bring the Marquis's portion for dinner. I understand." Su Qianqian quickly responded tactfully.
Qin Hanzhang: I mean I'll come over for dinner!
"Young Madam, Marquis, I know a few of my hometown specialties. If you don't mind, I'll make dinner for you two to try." Su Geng's gentle voice suddenly sounded.
