Qin Jianjia's General Shaowu is a third-rank military officer.

The most terrifying thing is that she has real power in the capital, which means that she can command 5,000 troops in the capital, transforming from a dispatched general to a resident general in the capital.

He became a complete celebrity around Empress An Qintian.

Qin Shaoliang was also promoted from the fourth rank Dongge Grand Secretary to the third rank Tongzheng Taichang, and the change in power was also not the same overnight.

None of the ministers had expected that this time the Qin family's reputation of colluding with the envoys of the North Vietnam Kingdom was not confirmed, but instead they were promoted to a higher rank.

Everyone was envious, but also hateful.

Especially the censor Ye Liangchen who was standing silently outside the door.

But he gnashed his teeth in hatred, his face was full of gloom, and he said quietly in his heart: "It's impossible. It was done perfectly, why would there be a mistake? It doesn't make sense..."

As he fell into self-doubt.

The ministers dared not say a word when they saw the terrifying look in Empress An Qintian's eyes.

They dared not say a word. After all, their official positions were not high, at most they were fourth rank. If the empress struck them, they would probably all be dismissed.

When Qin Shaoliang walked out of the imperial city, he was a little dazed and couldn't believe it.

"This is not a dream, is it?" Qin Shaoliang muttered to himself, then he slapped himself and felt the pain on his face. He woke up and said in disbelief: "This is actually real!"

He has worked diligently in the court for so many years, and even when the empress ascended the throne, he still worked diligently.

I originally thought that was the end of my career as a fourth-rank official, but I never expected that I would be promoted to the first rank.

Tongzheng Taichang!

He holds much more power than before. He is responsible for conveying the Empress's orders to the capital region. In other words, he is in charge of communicating orders from top to bottom. You can imagine the power he holds.

Only Qin Jianjiajiao had a complicated expression.

He glanced at the imperial city behind him.

Finally, he glanced at his father and said expressionlessly, "This is all thanks to Xu Qiu."

Qin Shaoliang reacted immediately after hearing this, "Daughter, are you saying that you are taking precautions in advance because of your son-in-law's feelings?"

Qin Jianjia nodded bluntly.

Qin Shaoliang looked at her admitting it openly, and he breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, "God wants to prosper my Qin family and give me such a son-in-law."

Then he turned around and said to Qin Jianjia earnestly: "Although I know you don't like that kid Xu Qiu, but... he really saved our Qin family. Without him, it would be extremely difficult for our Qin family to turn danger into safety."

Qin Jianjia remained silent.

She really had no feelings for Xu Qiu at all.

Not long ago, she was sent to suppress the border. When she came back after pacifying the border, someone had entered the Qin Mansion with a marriage contract. This suddenness made her confused.

Qin Jianjia originally wanted to cancel the engagement, but the ministers in the court opposed it.

After all, the Daqian Dynasty has always attached great importance to gifts. How can we just cancel the marriage contract made by our ancestors?

Especially since the other party had done a favor for the Qin family in the past, in order to prevent the Qin family from bearing the infamy and becoming the target of ridicule by ministers in the court, and also for the sake of the Qin family's career, Qin Jianjia had no choice but to agree.

"The bastard who is pursuing you now is still laughing at us." Qin Shaoliang became even more angry when he saw his daughter was silent.

But he thought that his daughter held a higher official position than him.

Qin Shaoliang stopped talking and just said lightly: "You can take care of yourself."

After saying that, he got on the elegant carriage and headed towards the Qin Mansion.

Qin Jianjia pursed her red lips, then stepped onto the tall white warhorse and followed behind.

…

When they returned to the Qin Mansion.

But Chen and Qin Yumo in the mansion looked worried.

Especially those ladies before, they were pointing fingers at their Qin family and left early as if they were afraid of being affected by bad luck.

Only Xu Qiu was still wandering around the garden heartlessly, looking at the chaotic yard.

The maids and servants were all uneasy, feeling that the Qin family would collapse at any time.

Qin Shaoliang was confused when he saw this and asked, "Madam, what happened to you?"

Chen's face was filled with worry as she asked, "Shaoliang, has Jianjia been suspended from his post for investigation? Have you been demoted two ranks?"

Qin Yumo was also nearby, echoing in a tearful voice, "Today, many soldiers of the Imperial Guard surrounded the mansion and turned it upside down. We almost thought that they were going to confiscate our property."

"How can our Qin family fall so easily? After all, it is a county marquis's mansion, and the title is passed down from our ancestors." Qin Shaoliang comforted.

But thinking back to his family's title of fourth-rank county earl, it was lost from his ancestors to his generation.

Qin Shaoliang did not bring up the county earl again, but said excitedly: "Don't worry, this time His Majesty knows that we were framed, not only did he not punish us, but he also promoted us to the first rank!"

"My husband is now a third-rank official. Are you surprised or shocked?"

He said to his wife with a smile.

"Of course, why would Dad lie to you?"

Qin Shaoliang said this with a cocky look on his face, his slightly old face was full of joy, without any trace of sadness.

After hearing this, Qin Yumo's originally sad heart finally calmed down and a smile appeared on his face again.

Chen glared at him unhappily, "You really made me worry for nothing."

"Madam, you have worked hard." Qin Shaoliang patted her on the back to comfort her, and then said: "However, this is all thanks to Xu Qiu..."

If her son-in-law had not given her advance warning, Qin Jianjia would not have taken advantage of the situation. They would not have been promoted at all and might even have been punished by the empress.

Qin Shaoliang felt that he had to treat Xu Qiu as his own son in the future, as he was the hope of the Qin family.

As soon as Qin Shaoliang finished speaking, they all looked at Xu Qiu.

He and Qin Jianjia walked into the East Wing together ...

On the corridor of the east wing.

Qin Jianjia remained silent.

Xu Qiu followed her and was also silent.

Taking a peek at her profile, her delicate nose sparkled in the sun, a few strands of black hair fluttered in the wind, and finally fell on her milky white shoulders. A faint fragrance wafted into my nose, that was the scent of crabapple blossoms.

[What is she thinking, because of the suspension and investigation? ]

Xu Qiu didn't know that Qin Jianjia had become the general of Shaowu.

But seeing her pursing her cherry lips and being silent all the way, I began to have wild thoughts.

Qin Jianjia heard his thoughts and paused.

She turned her head and looked up at him, "Don't worry, our Qin family is fine, and I have become General Shaowu."

"Uh, it's good... you've worked hard, my lady."

Xu Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then said casually.

He did not have the character of the original owner who knelt and licked her, but was a little cold and indifferent.

Qin Jianjia felt that he had changed completely since he was poisoned by the maid, and everyone in the family could hear Xu Qiu's thoughts.

[This girl, it’s like she can read minds, she answers whatever comes to mind]

Hearing his inner voice again, the corners of Qin Jianjia's lips curled up slightly.

She took a deep breath and said, "Thank you..."

Xu Qiu was confused when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at her suspiciously. He did nothing but was thanked again.

Before it was Qin Yumo, and now Qin Jianjia is thanking me again. Are these two sisters crazy?

Xu Qiu was about to speak.

Suddenly, a maid came over and bowed to Qin Jianjia, saying, "Miss, Master Ye is looking for you."

Qin Jianjia raised her eyes slightly when she heard that.

At this time, Ye Liangchen, who had just taken off his official uniform and put on a brocade robe, stood in the yard and said to Qin Jianjia, "Jianjia, congratulations on your promotion to the first rank."

"I was framed, but I got promoted unexpectedly."

Qin Jianjia smiled bitterly when she heard this.

Ye Liangchen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and frowned slightly, but still pretended to be surprised and said: "There is such a thing!"

Xu Qiu saw the scene and didn't say anything. After all, before he married into the family, Qin Jianjia and Ye Liangchen had had several conversations at poetry meetings and they had a good impression of each other.

Logically speaking, I should be considered a third party.

Moreover, even after the original owner married into the Qin family, Ye Liangchen still shamelessly entered the Qin Mansion. Even though Qin Jianjia had some complaints, she could not resist his shamelessness.

Qin Jianjia could only acquiesce. After all, the man held an official position and it was difficult to refuse. It would be bad for the Qin family to offend the civil servants.

However, she didn't know that Ye Liangchen had the intention of overthrowing the Qin family.

The original owner never dared to say a word to this shameless guy.

After all, the original owner was just a son-in-law.

Now that he has traveled through time, he has no feelings for Qin Jianjia. Xu Qiu is just a spectator towards the Qin family and there is no need for him to interfere in these matters.

But Xu Qiu still shook his head slightly.

[This nominal wife doesn't even know that those letters of espionage to the enemy country were placed there by Ye Liangchen, and he also imitated the letters. He has always hoped that the Qin family would fall.]

Qin Jianjia's pupils shrank when she heard this, and she looked at Xu Qiu in disbelief.

Seems to be seeking an answer! (End of this chapter)
