The carriage wheels made a soft sound as they hit the ground.
The autumn wind blows, lifting the curtains, and all is quiet.
The curtain was pulled back, and Zihe outside the carriage and Tridacna inside exchanged a glance. They couldn't forget the shocked look on Qin Xun's face when the young lady exposed him, nor could they forget the increasingly complicated expression on Qin Xun's face when he heard that the young lady had helped him.
and……
They knew nothing about these things.
Zihe suddenly felt like a failure. She was supposed to be given to her mistress by the Crown Prince to protect her and share her burdens, but it seemed that she hadn't helped her mistress at all.
So, the young lady doesn't trust her either?
Carefully suppressing the slight doubt that had arisen in her heart, Zihe looked outside and said, "Miss, the Vice Minister's wife should have arrived at Master Dong's residence by now. Do you think Master Dong will treat Young Master Qin?"
Xie Lingqin's eyes flickered, narrowed slightly, and then she shook her head. "I don't know."
Old Dong, that strange old man, is a cunning and treacherous fox with a gloomy mind.
If the Crown Prince is like Mount Tai, proud and tormenting amidst towering snow-capped peaks, then this Old Master Dong must be an ancient demon who has cultivated for ten thousand years.
Of course, these two people are really not comparable.
Xie Lingqin rubbed her forehead, hoping that she would calm down in a while.
I was tricked by the Crown Prince today, and I really don't want to be tricked again.
She was a top assassin in her previous life, but in this strange world, she has no martial arts skills and no power. She is truly unfortunate.
"However, Miss, could it be that Master Dong wants to take you as his apprentice, which is why he's making such an exception for you?" The usually taciturn Tridacna suddenly asked curiously from the side.
Xie Lingqin glanced at her and said, "Silly child, don't be so proud. If Elder Dong really wants to take me as his apprentice, it's definitely not a good thing."
"But, Miss, I heard that Master Dong has no descendants. He had taken in several disciples before, but they were all dismissed. Later, the Crown Prince and other princes also studied under him. However, apart from the Crown Prince, who studied for a longer period, none of them had a senior. But the Crown Prince and Master Dong did not have a good relationship."
Xie Lingqin rested her chin on her hand, exchanged a glance with Zihe, and watched with great interest as the giant clam chattered on and on.
"Miss, if you were to become Master Dong's apprentice, it would be a tremendous benefit. In the future, even the General would have to think highly of you..."
"And also, Miss, most importantly, Old Master Dong has no descendants. If he dies, everything he owns will be yours. I've heard he has many houses, Miss..."
The tridacna's voice stopped abruptly. A pair of bright eyes blinked and looked at Xie Lingqin with a worried expression. "Miss, did I say something wrong? Please don't look at me like that. I'm scared."
"No." Xie Lingqin rested her chin on her hand, her starry eyes seemingly inlaid with tiny sparkles of light, so bright they were almost blinding. "I suddenly realized that you, little girl, actually know quite a lot."
"This..." Upon hearing this, Tridacna lowered its head guiltily. "Isn't this something that everyone in the capital, from sixty-year-old elders to three-year-old children, knows?"
"Is that so?" Xie Lingqin glanced at Zihe. "Zihe, do you know her?"
Zihe swallowed hard and shook her head. "Is the Crown Prince and Elder Dong not on good terms? I have no idea about that."
Tridacna scratched its head. "Isn't that what everyone says?"
"Miss, we've arrived."
Zihe then pulled on the reins, bringing the carriage to a stop.
At the entrance of the Dong residence, the carriage that the Vice Minister's wife had borrowed earlier was parked. Inside the carriage was a coachman and several guards. When Xie Lingqin stepped out of the carriage, the coachman bowed, but the guards were clearly taken aback, looking at each other with different thoughts.
Could it be that Miss Xie is coming to reclaim the carriage now...?
"Xie Lingqin, you're really eager to come all the way here. Do you want to see if my son is dead or if you want the carriage back?"
Just then, the angry shouts of the Vice Minister's wife came from the gate of the Dong residence.
Meanwhile, several guards were carrying Qin Qi, revealing only a corner of him, as if he were being rotated...
this……
Xie Lingqin ignored the Vice Minister's wife's roars and shouts, and instead stretched her neck, quite puzzled.
Even someone without medical skills knows that someone as severely injured as Qin Qi would definitely not be able to move around much. However, right now, he is being carried by the guards and is clearly being spun around in circles.
"Hmph, what are you looking at? Let me tell you, with Elder Dong here, my son won't die!" The Vice Minister's wife roared and shouted again.
Xie Lingqin shook her head speechlessly, then walked forward.
"Stop her, don't let her in," the Vice Minister's wife immediately ordered.
"Miss Xie, please wait." A guard immediately stepped forward to stop her.
Zihe wanted to stand in front, but Xie Lingqin stopped her, coldly looking at the guard, and uttered a soft "Get lost."
"Thanks……"
"roll."
"My home..."
"roll."
With a slap, the guard stared blankly at Xie Lingqin, then at the maid beside her who had struck her. His face turned ashen, and he covered his face, saying, "Miss Xie, my young master is being treated for his injuries. Please do not disturb him."
"You dare to hit my guard, Xie Lingqin? You really dare! Guards, bring her to me and arrest her! I don't believe General Xie would show favoritism, no matter the old or new grudges."
The Vice Minister's wife was also furious. Her son was still suffering after being unconscious for a long time, and now Xie Lingqin wanted to cause trouble.
I'll torture you to death.
Xie Lingqin smiled gently and calmly raised her eyes, "May I ask, Madam Vice Minister, is this your residence?"
"this……"
The Vice Minister's wife choked upon hearing this, but still said firmly, "Old Master Dong prefers peace and quiet, so you'd better not cause trouble here."
