After drinking the antidote, Xu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and his soft body regained some strength.
At this moment, Qin Jianjia's white legs were standing outside the door. Her silver bell-like eyes showed three parts of surprise, five parts of confusion, and two parts of helplessness.
Just staring at Xu Qiu.
[Qin Jianjia, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, was a third-rank general of Dingyuan. She was extremely powerful and was the strongest female general in Daqian. Unfortunately, she was framed and the emperor suspected her of rebellion. As a result, she not only lost her official position, but also had her property confiscated. In the end, she was executed at Caishikou. It was a pity that a generation of female generals became food for others...]
Qin Jianjia's breathing stagnated
She heard Xu Qiu's voice again.
It’s still something incredible. Could it be that he has foreseen the future?
Qin Jianjia didn't know whether she should question him or not. Why did he know so much? But she was afraid that if she questioned him, Xu Qiu would find out that she could hear her inner voice. What should she do if she had to guard against them in the future? [I guess I won't be able to live in this Qin family for long... Hmm? Why is she looking at me all the time? ]
Upon hearing this, Qin Jianjia immediately turned her head away and turned to admire the courtyard and garden.
But she really wanted to know what "not staying at the Qin family for long" meant and was about to ask.
A maid in a pink palace skirt came over in small steps, bowed in front of Qin Jianjia and said, "Miss, Madam wants to know how the son-in-law is doing. If he is fine, Madam will ask you to come over for dinner."
Qin Jianjia nodded and said in a silver bell-like voice, "I understand."
Then she looked up at Xu Qiu, "Can you still walk?"
"Take the antidote, and it should be fine."
"Let's go and have dinner."
After Qin Jianjia finished speaking, she closed her almond-shaped eyes and walked away without looking back.
It seems that as long as her husband is fine, nothing else matters, not even concern.
Xu Qiu looked at his wife's perfunctory attitude and wondered why the original owner was so devoted to her?
What a pathetic love-brained person! Not only does he have no status or identity, he also has no dignity.
Xu Qiu slowly stood up and followed Qin Jianjia's maid with her help.
Qin family dining room.
Qin Shaoliang, the head of the Qin family, said to his wife, Chen, "Why did Madam invite a son-in-law to come to the house for such a good meal?"
"Even if he marries into the family, he is still your son-in-law. He is seriously ill. If we don't show some attitude, they will say that we are abusing our son-in-law."
Qin Shaoliang slapped the table, "Who dares to gossip? I'll smash their mouths."
"Madam Liu, Madam Zhang, Lady Tian (a fourth-rank imperial lady)"
Chen sat on the edge of the spring platform, with her hands folded across her chest, and spoke nonchalantly.
Qin Shaoliang heard that they were all wives of high-ranking officials, and there were even wives of nobles, whose titles were higher than his.
He immediately withdrew his palm quietly and said silently: "Eat, eat..."
"Tsk..." Chen gave him a look of disdain.
At this time, the little girl Qin Yumo next to her was unhappy, "Mom, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to eat?"
"You have to eat even if you can't eat."
"snort……"
Qin Yumo snorted in a very rude manner.
She also showed her white hands from her sleeves, quietly grabbed a chicken leg and licked it stealthily.
But suddenly.
They all heard a voice coming.
[Is this the Qin family? They are quite nice and the maids are pretty. The only drawback is that the people in the mansion are too cold to me. The Qin family will be gone soon, so I don’t need to worry too much.]
The three of them looked at each other.
They all looked confused.
Qin Yumo opened her cherry lips first and asked, "Who is talking?"
Qin Shaoliang looked at the maid behind him and asked, "Who made that sound just now?"
The maid was completely bewildered, and asked suspiciously, "Master, was there any sound just now?"
Another girl beside her nodded slightly and echoed: "Xiao Cui didn't hear the sound either."
Didn't hear it? Qin Shaoliang, Chen, and Qin Yumo were all stunned.
They clearly heard it very clearly, how could they not hear it? Just when they were puzzled.
"Master, Madam, the eldest lady and her husband are here." A maid standing outside the door reported.
Not long after, Qin Jianjia walked in first, and Xu Qiu followed her over the threshold, but he did not sit down.
Because the son-in-law sat at the table with the women.
It was not until Chen asked him to sit down that Xu Qiu sat down slowly, next to Qin Jianjia, but still keeping a distance.
At this moment, Qin Shaoliang lowered his head to eat, Qin Yumo turned his head away to eat a chicken leg, and only Chen said kindly: "Eat..."
But she had just finished speaking.
I heard that voice deep in my heart.
[This person should be Chen, Chen Xiaomei, my wife’s mother. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Unfortunately, her friends cheated on her and were afraid of being caught, so they framed her for cheating. Then rumors spread. In the end, she could only die to prove her innocence, and died by banging her head against a wall.]
Chen Xiaomei, who had just picked up the bowl and chopsticks, froze.
The whole person fell into a daze.
Even Qin Shaoliang was stunned for a moment.
He felt incredible, not to mention that Qin Yumo suddenly stopped gnawing on the chicken leg.
Qin Jianjia frowned slightly, but still stretched out her hand slowly, picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food, and started eating.
[This should be Qin Shaoliang, the patriarch of the Qin family. He was quite gentle and elegant. Unfortunately, he lost his wife not long after. In the officialdom, he was not only attacked by political enemies, but also framed by his colleagues. In the end, he lost his office and title, and was despised in the capital. Because of the Qin family, he was accused of treason and was executed at Caishikou. No one came to save his old friends. How pitiful.]
Upon hearing this, Qin Shaoliang spat out the rice in his mouth. He seemed to be choked and coughed violently. Then he looked at Xu Qiu in disbelief.
Qin Yumo looked at his father with eyes full of pity.
She looked like a daughter who loved her father.
Just when she wanted to comfort Qin Shaoliang.
[This person must be my aunt Qin Yumo, a lively and active girl. Unfortunately, she was not only deceived, but also lost her virginity and reputation. She failed to marry a son-in-law and could only marry a minor official. However, she did not know that the minor official had a tendency to abuse his wife. She was beaten to a pulp and had three miscarriages. Finally, because her family was raided, she was sent to the Jiaofangsi and committed suicide in humiliation.]
[It seems there is still one person missing. Forget it. The poor cannon fodder family, a family full of loyal warriors, became victims of the game of power.]
Xu Qiu remembered that the Qin family had a second son, but since he didn't show up, that's fine.
He named everyone one by one as if he knew them all by name.
Xu Qiu was merely recalling the contents of his previous novels and trying to recognize the people again.
Qin Yumo heard this and the chicken leg in his hand lost its flavor. He didn't react even when it dropped to the ground and splattered with oil.
She stared blankly at her brother-in-law whom she didn't like very much.
But she found that her sister was looking up at her at some point.
At this moment, Xu Qiu, who was in the center of the vortex, saw everyone looking at him, not knowing what to do.
He asked casually, "What's wrong?"
Chen immediately came to her senses and said, "It's okay, it's just that everyone hasn't seen you for a long time and they're afraid you'll look embarrassed."
Then she said passionately: "You married into our family, and we must have wronged you a lot... Come on, treat this place as your own home from now on. Eat whatever you want. We are all your real parents!"
Chen Xiaomei helped him serve the food as she spoke.
