Chapter 322: Fighting between the snipe and the clam is also a good thing
Mrs. Du turned to look at Madam Qin, and Madam Qin nodded.
"Okay, it's settled! Jilan, you have to take care of yourself too. You can always call over the embroiderers in the mansion to help you. Let them do some odd jobs. After all, you have always been weak, so you still need to take good care of yourself in the next two months."
Mrs. Du gave Xin Jilan some more instructions and glanced at Qin Li who was sitting with his head down.
"Grandma, Brother Li has been practicing very hard recently, even my aunt..." Qin Mian suddenly spoke. Qin Yuzhuo, who was worried, looked up suddenly, wishing he could cover Qin Mian's mouth.
[Hahaha, the Third Miss was absent-minded. When she was instructing Li Ge'er on his training, Li Ge kicked her and she fell on her back. Her boots flew out. She also told Li Ge'er not to tell anyone, but she didn't tell Qin Mian, hahaha...]
The system suddenly ate melons happily. Although the Qin family members did not dare to show it on their faces, their previous cautiousness disappeared a lot. Qin Li could not help shaking his shoulders and holding back his laughter.
"I... I was just testing Li Ge'er's reaction today. It's not bad, not bad..." Qin Yuzhuo hurriedly found a way out for himself.
[The Fifth Young Master also suffered a setback today.]
Fourth Miss Zhuang hasn't seen him these past few days. She heard that a handsome cousin has come to the Zhuang Mansion. He is the nephew of Madam Zhuang Siqing. He is a man of both civil and military talents, with outstanding character and appearance, and most importantly, he has a very good temper. The Zhuang family members praise him highly.
Miss Fourth Zhuang's brothers dragged her along to accompany this cousin on outings. Every time Fifth Young Master waited for Miss Zhuang to go to the small parade ground, he would find her in vain. He would see her going out in a car and would quietly follow behind.
Today, I saw Miss Zhuang walking unsteadily, and the cousin was holding her up. The Fifth Young Master got anxious and actually rushed over to help her up, but was ridiculed and driven away by the brothers. He walked dejectedly, kicking the snow, and even kicked a stone, and came back limping! 】
The system continues to eat melons.
Qin Hanjin knew that this matter could not be concealed. As long as it was his secret, it would be exposed. He acted as if nothing had happened and let the Qin family look at him strangely.
[It can be said that good things come to those who wait. After all, in the original plot, Miss Zhuang, even though the men of the Qin family were executed and the ignorant people cursed at her at the execution ground, she still saw off the Fifth Young Master despite her family's objections and offered sacrifices in front of the execution ground, despite being ridiculed by people.
At that time, Lord Zhuang had been dismissed from his post, Lu Jun became the Minister of Dali Temple, and the Zhuang family could hardly protect themselves, but Miss Zhuang was still able to do so, which shows her infatuation. It's just that the Fifth Young Master acted recklessly, and the girl also wanted to vent her anger. 】
Su Qianqian thought about the original plot. Although she found Qin Hanjin funny, she felt uncomfortable when she thought about the bloody scene.
Now, after living with the Qin family for several months, Su Qianqian could no longer laugh when she imagined how so many lives were unjustly frozen and died with blood splattered all over them.
Qin Hanzhang was also among them, the one who was willing to sacrifice his life for him.
The Qin family was also in a low mood, especially Qin Hanjin, who lowered his eyes and gripped the armrest of the chair until his knuckles turned white.
He didn't believe what Su Qianqian said in the past, but now that everything has proven it, he can't help but believe it. He feels even more guilty towards Zhuang Yan, but he is also glad that the book did not marry her.
"Han Zhang has been away for quite some time this time. He sent a letter back two days ago, so he should be back soon. Right now, the court is busy with many things. You must remember to be careful with your words and actions, and do not discuss state affairs recklessly, lest you be used by others."
Madam Qin warned in a deep voice that although the Qin family had avoided traps time and time again under Su Qianqian's vigilance, Su Qianqian could not know what everyone was doing, and if there was any mistake, the entire Wuning Marquis Mansion would be dragged into the water.
Everyone nodded repeatedly, especially the third master and Qin Hanyue who served in the Imperial City Guard. After Qin Hanzhang left the capital, they paid more attention to the military affairs of the guard.
The Second Master and Qin Hanjin could be somewhat relaxed at the Qin Family Army's central guard post, after all, they were the personal troops of the Marquis of Wuning's Mansion.
"The Imperial Guards were dispatched yesterday. We don't know where they were sent to perform official duties. We only know that Duke Zhou personally led the troops, and they were assembled urgently. They only had a quarter of an hour to set off. The Imperial Guards did not receive any information in advance.
Today, some brothers from the Imperial City Guard also heard about it and went to inquire. It turned out that the Imperial Guards who were on duty received strict orders that if they leaked even a word, they would be punished by military law. ”
Qin Hanyue thought for a moment and said, glancing at Su Qianqian.
"The Ministry of War has also sent officials. This is an extremely rare joint execution of official duties. It must be a major event, but the news is kept extremely secret."
The second master said in a deep voice, putting away his usual laziness and casualness.
[The news was tightly blocked in order to save the face of the Princess's Mansion. If it cannot be confirmed that it is Lu Jing's death squad, then they will be punished with great fanfare. If it is confirmed that it is related to Lu Jing, maybe it will be solved secretly. 】
Su Qianqian explained in her heart, but there was no expression on her face. The Qin family suddenly realized that Lu Jing's death squad had been wiped out.
[Duke Zhou led the troops personally. I don't know what Duke Zhou's attitude is towards the Princess's Mansion. It is also strange that he suddenly seized the military power of the Imperial Guards. 】
The system replied quietly.
[It is much better for the military power of the Imperial Guard to be in the hands of Duke Zhou than in the hands of Lu Min. If they all have ill intentions, it is a good thing for them to fight among themselves. The prince is not involved, so a bystander can see more clearly. 】
Su Qianqian was mentally prepared for this and was not in a hurry.
[You are still cunning... Oh no, smart, smart...] The system said what was in its heart and quickly changed its words.
"After receiving the imperial decree granting marriage today, Jinxi came here for no apparent reason, wanting to talk to you about something important. I used the excuse that you were at the manor to evade her. I don't know why she cares so much about you."
Mrs. Du suddenly remembered and said in confusion.
[Zhou Jinxi wouldn’t have guessed my identity, right? She looked strange at the last banquet. If she wanted to find her cousin, she should investigate what happened nine years ago as soon as possible and find a chance to escape! 】
Su Qianqian thought so in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face: "Maybe she had her eyes on my purse some time ago, and she regretted not taking it when she gave it to her that day."
The Qin family members looked at each other, but did not dare to say anything. Mrs. Du could only nod, thinking about how to prevent Zhou Jinxi from saying anything if she really saw through it.
After dinner, everyone returned to the yard.
The snow had not stopped yet, and although the servants kept sweeping it, it gradually covered the entire courtyard. Only the corridor was clean.
Su Qianqian didn't feel cold in her fur cloak. She sat in the warm sedan and watched the snowflakes hitting the dim lantern. The memories of the snowy night in the hunting ground came to her mind again. She wondered where Qin Hanzhang was at this moment. Was it snowing too?
At this time, Qin Hanzhang was riding his horse at full speed in the night.
As long as he could capture the leader of the gang hiding in the mountains tonight, he would be able to complete the task assigned to him by the prince and rush back to Xijing as soon as possible. Thinking of what Su Qianqian said in the letter, Qin Hanzhang's lips curled up unconsciously and he quickened the pace of his horse.
"Swoosh..." The sound of an arrow breaking through the air and the neighing of a horse came from the front.
"My lord, there is an ambush!" Qin Jiu in front shouted!
