Chapter 206 Can’t Eat Spicy Food
"Aunt Mi, although I am involved in the trial, I cannot disclose the case to irrelevant people. However, I can make a suggestion as a judgment: go to Aunt Mi's brother's house to check. If he is fine, he will return home."
Su Qianqian answered Mi respectfully and calmly.
Qin Yuzhuo's cheeks puffed up quietly, and Mrs. Du's gloomy expression, which was suppressing her anger, also turned into a look as if she wanted to laugh.
Aunt is just aunt, what is Aunt Mi? Are there also Aunt Liang and Aunt Cai?
"Irrelevant person, how can I be an irrelevant person..."
Mi's face showed displeasure. She had always been smooth sailing, and her husband, Marquis Dingyang, did not dare to go against her wishes. Except today, he refused to accompany her to her aunt's house no matter what...
"You mean to say that my brother has returned home?"
Mi suddenly thought of something and showed joy on her face. She forgot the momentary unhappiness and stood up suddenly. Her legs were a little numb because she had been sitting for a long time, so she quickly reached out to hold on to the table.
"I didn't say that." Su Qianqian had a blank expression.
"Then what do you mean? You said you had nothing to do and you are going back home..."
Mrs. Mi was a little annoyed. This cousin's words were really out of context.
"That's right, Aunt Mi, I said nothing happened, that is, he returned home, I didn't say Aunt Mi's brother returned home, Aunt Mi can go and ask for yourself."
Su Qianqian emphasized the word "nothing" and explained calmly.
[This Aunt Mi sat here for the whole afternoon, but she didn't dare to go back home. Ever since Mi Ziyong was issued a document for retrial by the Ministry of Justice, her door has been blocked by her natal family!
Her family members heard that there was a cousin of the Marquis of Wuning who was the recorder of the three-court trial, so they asked her to come and inquire about the news. It was rare for her to be valued by her family members, so she patted her chest and made a promise.
I thought asking Marquis Dingyang to come and talk to your mother-in-law was a trivial matter, but I didn't expect that Marquis Dingyang would refuse to agree this time, and no matter how soft or hard Mi tried, he just wouldn't agree.
Until a few days ago, her family members simply came to her yard to take charge. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to see your mother-in-law. Your mother-in-law sent her back without telling you. She then patted her chest and told her family members that she would guarantee that her brother was fine.
During the years when Mi was silent in the Wuning Marquis's mansion, she did not allow Dingyang Marquis to interact with your mother-in-law, for fear that it would implicate them and affect the family's future.
She thought that as long as she gave an order on behalf of Marquis Dingyang, your mother-in-law would not dare to refuse to help. Besides, he was just a cousin who was staying in the mansion, so she had to look at her mother-in-law's face. At least revealing some information would be good. She didn't expect that after going to Marquis Wuning's mansion for several days, she didn't get any news.
Today I didn't dare to ask about my mother's family, so I ran here to wait for Master Su. I thought it was disrespectful to her that I didn't come out to see her these few days, and this time he specifically told me that I didn't need to come out. 】
[No wonder Mi Ziyong suggested replacing me. Was he angry that I didn’t reveal the news? 】Su Qianqian suddenly realized.
Officials who were awaiting trial and under investigation did not dare to gather information or bribe the presiding judge, but there was nothing wrong with having relatives around, so they treated Su Qian, the little clerk, as a treasure. Mi guaranteed that they were all full of hope, but they did not expect that they were all disappointed. How could they not be angry?
[Mi Ziyong was desperate and tried every possible means. He was probably angry at someone else, but he should have hated his sister even more. She was showing off the case he handled everywhere, and whenever she wanted to shirk responsibility, a bunch of witnesses would pop up. 】
The system's voice was full of gloating.
At this time, Mrs. Mi finally came to her senses and understood what Su Qianqian meant. Her face suddenly turned pale and she was about to collapse.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible... My brother has always been strict, he would never make a wrong judgment, he must have made a mistake this time..."
Mi murmured as she tried to walk back, her body swaying uncontrollably. Du rushed over to support her, "Sister-in-law, you should take care of yourself. Even if there is anything... you should go back home first."
[Your mother-in-law is your mother-in-law. Could it be that the meaning of this sentence is: If you want to die, go home and die? 】The system made some guesses with ulterior motives.
Mi was helped out staggeringly, but her crying became quieter, probably because she was thinking about how to deal with her family members.
After sending Mrs. Mi away, Su Qianqian briefly explained the circumstances of the trial and went back to the yard to change her clothes and eat. She was very tired that day.
Qin Hanzhang sent her back to the yard, and on the way Su Qianqian repeated what Liang Xun said.
"The swallows on the beams of the old house... Let's go to the house in Shigufang tomorrow and take a look. Maybe that's the place they are talking about." Qin Hanzhang said after pondering for a moment.
Su Qianqian nodded with her little head down, wishing she could eat and sleep right away.
Qin Hanzhang felt a little distressed when he saw her expression: "You don't have to do this hard work. As long as you don't want to, I will always find a way to get you out of it."
"There are still some things that need to be checked. It's okay. Just rest for a night."
Su Qianqian answered with narrowed eyes, thinking that she had not yet found the person behind the scenes, and that she was still tied to the Wuning Marquisate and was in danger, so she secretly told herself to hold on and wait until she had accumulated enough merit and melons and beans before returning home, and not be used as cannon fodder by the villains.
Tinglan Court had already prepared hot water. Su Qianqian went back to the courtyard and went into the bathroom. She washed and changed into casual clothes. The meal was already served in the dining hall, and Qin Hanzhang was actually sitting there.
"My Lord, are you not going to see your grandmother?" Su Qianqian was surprised. Normally, most of the families had dinner in Fushou Hall, and a few reported to stay in their own courtyards. Today, she felt tired, so she asked the maid to say hello first and not go over.
"My grandmother asked me to have dinner with you." Qin Hanzhang still had an icy face that showed no emotion. He picked up the bowl and filled it with rice and placed it on Su Qianqian's seat.
[Serve me some rice?] Is this what the Marquis should do? 】
Su Qianqian couldn't hide the surprise on her face, but because she was too hungry, she didn't want to think too much about it. She just said "Thank you, My Lord" and started eating quickly, not even able to maintain her previous eating manners.
"This time the sweet and sour pork is very authentic! Lord Hou, you also... you don't eat meat, you should learn to eat some in the future... This spicy chicken is delicious, Lord Hou, you eat chicken, come and try it!"
Su Qianqian returned the favor by picking up a handful of food with her serving chopsticks and putting it into Qin Hanzhang's bowl.
Qin Hanzhang has never been picky about food. As long as he can be full as long as it is not red meat, that's enough.
Ever since Su Qianqian introduced the rare foods like potatoes, tomatoes and peppers, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion has become more picky about food. Only he remains the same as always and doesn't feel bad about eating the bland food he used to eat.
However, this was the first time Su Qianqian served him food, and he felt inexplicably happy. He whispered, "Thank you, Madam," picked it up and put it in his mouth to chew carefully...
Su Qianqian was eating there, expecting Qin Hanzhang's praise, but she saw his face getting redder and redder, until he tried hard to swallow it, couldn't help but exhale, and sweat came out of the tip of his nose...
"You...are just this...spicy?"
Su Qianqian couldn't believe it, but she quickly poured him a bowl of tea. Qin Hanzhang didn't have time to refute, so he drank the tea in a few gulps and stretched out his hand to the girl:
“Another bowl please!”
