Chapter 310 Sister Golden Branch
Qin Jinzhi glanced at the brother and sister lying on the ground indifferently before flying away.
After killing the assassins who hadn't managed to escape, Yun Que and Yun Jin prepared to turn and leave.
Young Master Liu quickly said, "Please wait, ladies. Thank you for saving me. May I ask your names? I will definitely come to express my gratitude in person."
Yun Jin waved her hand, "Our master ordered us to be rescued, so there's no need to thank us."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Young Master Liu hurriedly struggled to his feet and caught up with the two. "Miss, please wait. May I ask your name, sir? If it weren't for that young lady's intervention, my brother and I would have been dead. How can we not repay such a great kindness?"
Yun Jin said coldly, "You don't need to know our master's identity. Our master said that this is to repay the favor of returning the kite."
After saying this, the two flew away before anyone could react.
Before Young Master Liu could speak, Liu Qinghe had already grabbed him.
"Brother, there's no need to chase after her. I know who she is."
When the two returned, Qin Jinzhi was arguing with Yuecheng.
"Where did you find this broken knife? My sword is ruined! This sword was forged by my master! If that old man finds out, he'll cause a huge uproar!"
Yuecheng shouted, "You're not asking me to pretend to be a Huainan swordsman! This giant sword is the very symbol of a Huainan swordsman!"
Qin Jinzhi was so angry she wanted to strangle him.
Yuecheng was defeated. "At worst, I'll go back to the capital and apologize to the old man. I'll just say that I broke it."
Qin Jinzhi then released him, "That's more like it."
Yun Jin skipped and hopped over to Qin Jinzhi's side, her eyes filled with admiration for Yue Cheng.
"Princess, your senior brother's martial arts are truly amazing!"
The Liu siblings were all skilled in martial arts, and all three of them took their acting seriously.
Even with Yun Que and Yun Jin working together, they could only force Yue Cheng to retreat a few steps.
Qin Jinzhi looked at her and said, "Starting today, the manor will be staffed more frequently, and no one will be allowed to see anyone."
Yun Jin looked puzzled. How could she reunite with the brother and sister if they couldn't see them?
But Yun Jin suddenly stopped herself from speaking.
She was puzzled, but she didn't ask! The princess couldn't call her stupid!
That's so clever.
Qin Jinzhi scratched her head as she looked at Yun Jin, who seemed very clever.
Go back and ask Liu Yiyi if there's any medicine that can make people smarter.
The next day, the Liu family sent someone to deliver generous gifts.
The two siblings waited formally outside the estate.
However, the people on the estate told them that their master was not there and they did not know when he would return.
After a moment's thought, Young Master Liu said, "I am Liu Que, the son of the military governor of Lingnan. Yesterday, we were robbed by bandits at the manor, and we were fortunate to be rescued by your master. We should come to express our gratitude. We hope that your master will inform us when he returns so that my brother and I can thank you in person. These gifts are just a token of our appreciation, please accept them on our behalf."
The steward of the manor looked troubled. "Young Master Liu, please don't make things difficult for me. The master said that no one is allowed to enter the manor, nor is he allowed to accept anything. You should take it back. Besides, how can a servant reveal the master's whereabouts?"
After saying that, he went back.
Liu Que looked puzzled. "Qinghe, are you sure you didn't mistake her? That person really is Jinzhi?"
Liu Qinghe's tone was firm.
"There's no mistake. I asked the servants on the estate, and the kite I found that day was the swallow kite that Sister Jinzhi made for me."
Even the damaged parts on the tail are the same!
Before we left the capital, our kite broke, and I cried for a long time. Sister Jinzhi took it back and fixed it for me.
Brother, she is Sister Jinzhi!
Liu Que frowned. "Then why won't she see us?"
Liu Qinghe was silent for a moment, then said, "You and I are already dead in the capital. Our current identities are only trouble for her. Besides, she has now been named Princess Zhenguo, which is a special status. It would be right for her not to see us."
Upon hearing her words, Liu Que frowned even more deeply.
"Why did she appear in Lingnan? And why did she happen to save us?"
Liu Qinghe thought for a moment, then said, "Go and invite Father here."
The brother and sister turned around and went back to the village.
For several days in a row, Liu Qinghe sent people to Qin Jinzhi's estate.
Without exception, she was never at the estate.
Liu An was so shocked by the news that the brother and sister had been assassinated and that they had already met with Qin Jinzhi that he was speechless.
What a coincidence, that princess lives in the neighboring village.
Sending the brother and sister to the estate was a spur-of-the-moment decision; Qin Jinzhi couldn't have known beforehand.
But this is too much of a coincidence.
Liu An hurriedly asked, "Did the princess recognize your identities?"
Liu Que shook his head. "I doubt she even looked at my brother's and my sister's faces."
Before faking her death, Qin Jinzhi had a good relationship with the brother and sister.
Qin Jinzhi is a troublemaker, and the two siblings idolize her.
The two often followed Qin Jinzhi around.
Qin Jinzhi didn't like to play with the two of them much, but she also wouldn't allow others to bully them.
It can be said that they are always willing to grant requests.
That swallow kite was the one Xiao Yuanyi showed off to Liu Qinghe, saying that her imperial grandfather had made it for her personally.
She was so angry that she cried and went back to where Qin Jinzhi had made it for her.
The day after Liu Qinghe cried from anger, Qin Jinzhi, in front of the Emperor and Consort Shen, tore Xiao Yuanyi's kite to shreds.
Xiao Yuanyi was so angry that she cried all day.
But Qin Jinzhi still refused to play with the two of them.
She's always been like this since she was little, and the two of them only understood it when they grew up.
Qin Jinzhi thought they were both childish.
That kite was the last thing the two of them left for Qin Jinzhi.
I didn't expect she still kept it.
Returning the kite saved their lives.
It's something Qin Jinzhi would do.
Liu Qinghe said, "Father, please send a letter to the capital to ask why Sister Jinzhi came here, and also to report back to the capital that the Wei family wanted to kill us to silence us."
Liu An nodded. "Now that you have met the princess, there is no need to hide on the estate anymore. Come back to the manor with me today."
The brother and sister hesitated for a moment, and Liu An said, "If you really want to see the princess, I will go and invite her myself. The princess will still give you some face because of the military governor."
Liu Qinghe shook his head, "No, neither of us can acknowledge her. It would be too much trouble for you to go and ask for help. I will see her in my own way."
Liu An nodded, and the three of them left the manor that same day.
The sentries watching over Liu's village saw the three leave the village and immediately returned to report.
The steward said that Qin Jinzhi, who had already left, was using a hammer to tap and pound on the soft sword in an attempt to restore it.
Upon hearing the sentry say that the brother and sister had left, he said, "Keep a close eye on them. From now on, I need to know where they've been, who they've met, and what they've said."
Yun Jin couldn't hold back any longer. "Princess, now that the identities of the Crown Prince and the young princess have been confirmed, why are you still keeping an eye on them?"
Qin Jinzhi looked at the nick on the soft sword and tapped it again.
"Since the Crown Prince and the young princess are not dead, where is the Crown Princess?"
