Chapter 49 Why does she wear a sachet with the word "Ning" embroidered on it?
"Master, it's not..." The man with blood foam on his face quickly turned to Zhang Yong to explain. He stretched out his hands and swung his knees a few steps. Suddenly, Zhang Yong drew his sword and stabbed the man, shouting, "What are you going to do, thief!"
Qin Hanzhang suddenly flew out and bumped into Zhang Yong, then landed beside Su Qianqian, holding her shoulders with one hand and covering her eyes with the other.
Suddenly, a warm and dry hand covered her eyes, and she fell into a broad and strong embrace. Su Qianqian froze there in a daze.
At this time, the knife had been inserted into the man's right ribs. He lowered his head and looked at the blood that was actually flowing out. The man staggered and fell to the ground.
The brother next to him panicked when he saw this and suddenly stood up and ran. Zhang Yong drew his sword and threw it out. The sword pierced his vest and he ran forward two steps and fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Yan Liu was so scared that she covered her mouth tightly. This time she was not pretending, she was really scared.
"I recognized these two thieves. They are habitual bandits who were wanted by the navy. Today they managed to blackmail the Fifth Young Master. It's just bad luck for them. I, however, have performed a great deed thanks to the Marquis." Zhang Yong wiped his sword and saluted Qin Hanzhang with a smile on his face.
"Master Zhang is really good at martial arts. Such a fierce bandit could be killed by your move without even saying a word."
Qin Hanzhang put down his hands at this time, signaled Qin Yuzhuo to support Su Qianqian and not to look at the bloody scene over there, then turned around and teased Zhang Yong with veiled words.
Zhang Yong laughed it off and asked the bailiffs to collect the bodies of the two and send them to the charity cemetery. He personally escorted Yan Liu back to Yanyu Tower. Qi Mincheng had long forgotten why he was called here and followed Yan Liu without stopping.
The onlookers were silent at this time, seeing two people killed in the street, and the fifth son of the Qin family escaped danger. Those who mocked and ridiculed did not dare to say a word, and only asked quietly:
"Is that beautiful woman the wife of Marquis Wuning, the head mistress of the Marquis's mansion, Su?"
"Looking at the way the young marquis is protecting her, she should be the one. But I heard that she used some trickery to marry into the marquis' mansion, and the people in the mansion looked down on her. So it seems like she's the one making the decisions today?"
"How could we know so much about what happened in the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion? They are all just rumors. Let's go. We have seen a murder in the street. We need to go home to get rid of the bad luck..."
…
Qin Hanzhang protected Du and Meng as they got on the carriage, but he stopped Su Qianqian who was also about to get on.
"This car is too crowded. Take my car."
"Third brother, I want to take your carriage too. It's really crowded." Qin Yuzhuo also turned around and wanted to go to Qin Hanzhang's carriage, but Qin Hanzhang pinched his sleeve with two fingers.
"You go with your mother." After saying that, he pushed the pouting Qin Yuzhuo into the car and waved his hand to let the driver go first.
Qin Hanzhang whispered something to the guard, who nodded and left, then helped Su Qianqian into the carriage.
It was not convenient for the two to say much at this moment. Qin Hanzhang sat upright as usual, while Su Qianqian leaned against the car wall away from him.
After working for most of the day, Su Qianqian was very tired, so she leaned against the wall of the car and closed her eyes to take a nap.
Qin Hanzhang watched Su Qianqian's little head swaying from side to side with the carriage, and his heart was in his throat, fearing that she would really fall asleep the next moment, hit her head and wake up, and then return to her previous state.
After thinking about it, Qin Hanzhang moved to Su Qianqian's side and quietly leaned his shoulder against Su Qianqian. He was much taller than Su Qianqian, and his shoulder was just enough for Su Qianqian to rest her head.
Su Qianqian felt comfortable with someone to lean on. She rubbed her head on Qin Hanzhang's shoulder and actually fell asleep.
The cold and hard lines on Qin Hanzhang's face softened. He dared not move at all, swaying along the carriage to match Su Qianqian's angle.
Qin Hanzhang didn't dare to move, but he could secretly look at the sleeping Su Qianqian. From his angle, he could see her smooth and delicate forehead, two long eyelashes like crow feathers and her straight and delicate nose. Maybe her nose was a little itchy, so she rubbed it and frowned.
The corners of Qin Hanzhang's lips couldn't help but rise up, and he couldn't help smiling when he thought of the pill.
Suddenly, Qin Hanzhang's eyes were attracted by the sachet that Su Qianqian had placed on her skirt. In addition to the exquisite embroidery skills, there was also a word embroidered on the corner of the sachet. Even if he looked at it upside down, Qin Hanzhang could recognize it. It was the word "Ning".
His heart suddenly shook as he thought of the purse in his study. Why would Su Qianqian wear a sachet with the word "Ning" on it?
With his thoughts in a mess, he quickly returned to the Marquis' Mansion and arrived at the second gate. The mother and daughter and Qin Hanjin in front all got off the horse and carriage, waiting for Qin Hanzhang and his wife in the carriage behind, but there was no movement from the carriage.
Qin Yuzhuo went over to take a look out of curiosity, and when he lifted the car curtain he saw Qin Hanzhang sitting upright with his hands on his knees, and Su Qianqian sleeping soundly with her head resting on his shoulder.
Qin Yuzhuo's eyes widened at first, unable to believe that his wooden third brother was actually willing to be a pillow for others, and then he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Qin Hanzhang tried hard to keep a calm expression and glanced at Qin Yuzhuo. At this time, Su Qianqian, who heard the laughter, also woke up and asked in a daze where they were.
"We're home!" Qin Yuzhuo answered in a long voice, holding back his laughter, lowering the car curtain and returning to Mrs. Du.
Su Qianqian said "Oh" and sat up straight. Just as she was about to get up and get out of the car, Qin Hanzhang went down first and reached out to support her with a serious face.
Qin Yuzhuo spoke in a low voice to his mother, Third Aunt, while Qin Hanjin frowned slightly beside him, but this time he didn't seem so disgusted with Su Qianqian.
A servant had already replied to Old Madam Qin's message. When the few of them entered Fushou Hall, they could hear the sound of relaxed conversation and laughter in the flower hall.
Seeing Su Qianqian come in, Old Madam Qin waved for her to sit next to her.
"Thank you for your hard work, Qianqian. Thanks to your cleverness, Hanjin was saved from danger. Otherwise, even if we could explain it clearly later, the reputation of our mansion would be ruined. How would the people know the truth?"
"Grandma, this is what a granddaughter-in-law should do. I don't dare to take credit for it." Su Qianqian smiled humbly and politely.
[Grandma, this is the compliment Qianqian deserves, please praise her more! 】
Su Qianqian was very proud. In the ancient times when wisdom was ridiculously low, she felt it was a great honor to be alive, not to mention that she was able to turn the tide... Oh, this word is a bit exaggerated, but I'll use it for now.
Qin family: You have exposed your greed!
System: Please have some dignity. Without me, you would hardly be able to tell friend from foe!
Madam Qin laughed loudly: "Don't be modest, grandma's praise is what Qianqian deserves. Tomorrow we will offer sacrifices to our ancestors, and many people will come to the mansion. Grandma will praise Qianqian again!"
"That's exactly what she deserves. Qianqian was quite like her father at that time. She remained calm and composed in the face of danger. My third sister-in-law and I stood aside and watched her plan and strategize. She was quite like the spirit of our Marquisate leading troops to fight off the enemy."
Mrs. Du was not to be outdone and used all her words of praise.
Su Qianqian smiled shyly, but her eyes were unusually bright: "Hanjin is lucky. I don't know how that cousin from the Qi family came and actually recognized Yanliu. I just guessed it by chance at that time."
[Yeah, that’s right, I’m as alert and intelligent as you can be! 】She felt even more proud.
Qin's family: You deserve this credit. Han Jin is not so lucky. Thanks to your guidance!
Qin Hanzhang was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The corners of his lips slightly raised, but his eyes involuntarily fell on the sachet.
