Qin Shaoliang also spoke.
She even turned around and asked the maid, "How much is your son-in-law's allowance?"
"Twenty taels of silver per month."
"It's too little. The son-in-law of our Qin family cannot live in poverty. The monthly allowance is sixty taels."
"Yes, sir."
The maid Xiao Cui bowed.
But she felt a little strange in her heart, wondering why the master and the mistress suddenly became so concerned about a son-in-law.
The same was true for the other maids, with disbelief written all over their pretty faces and their almond-shaped eyes slightly wide open.
Even Qin Yumo called Xu Qiu sweetly: "Brother-in-law~"
Then she picked up a plump chicken leg for him, put it on the rice, and said in a soft voice, "Brother-in-law, I give you my favorite chicken leg. Please don't despise it."
Xu Qiu looked at the scene in front of him.
His face was full of confusion.
He remembered that the male protagonist before he traveled through time was a poor scholar with no parents.
However, he had a marriage certificate with the Qin family, and it happened that it was used by ministers in the court to impeach the Qin family, resulting in Qin Jianjia having to let him marry into her family. Although the male protagonist loved Qin Jianjia very much, no one in the Qin family liked him.
After all, in their eyes, he was the one who kidnapped their daughter with an engagement.
But now, Xu Qiu looked down at the spring stage. The bowls were now full of dishes, among which was a large chicken leg as big as a fist, taking up half of the mountain.
This is very different from the novel.
Qin Jianjia looked at the scene in front of her, and was slightly surprised at first, but then she quickly understood the meaning.
They could all hear Xu Qiu's thoughts.
At the same time, I also know their misery.
How come this guy seems like a different person after waking up today?
At this time, Xu Qiu said politely: "Thank you, father-in-law and mother-in-law, thank you Yu Mo, I won't be polite."
"We are one family and we should keep different opinions." Chen said with a smile.
Xu Qiu didn't take it to heart. After exchanging some pleasantries and finishing his meal with Qin Jianjia, he followed her and left.
When their figures disappeared outside the door.
Qin Shaoliang, Chen Xiaomei and Qin Yumo looked at each other.
Qin Yumo pursed her beautiful lips and couldn't help but ask, "Dad, Mom, did you hear everything just now?"
"Your mother is not deaf." Chen replied indifferently.
Qin Shaoliang had a serious expression on his face, and ordered the maid next to him: "All of you go out, I'll call you in if there's anything else."
"Yes, sir."
The maids bowed one after another, then left the dining room in small steps, closing the door behind them, leaving only their family in the room.
Then Qin Shaoliang said to them seriously:
"Please don't tell anyone else about this. It is unheard of to be able to hear the voice of a son-in-law. I feel like he has become a different person."
Chen picked up the handkerchief and wiped her red lips.
She said to him unhappily, "Didn't you call him 'son-in-law' before? Why are you calling him 'son-in-law' so enthusiastically now?"
"Today is different from the past." Qin Shaoliang stroked his beard and sighed quietly, "Recently, things have not been going well for me in the court. I always feel that something is wrong. I just listened to his inner thoughts and I have come to some realization. Although I don't know if what he said is right, I am still on guard."
Qin Yumo didn't like his father's flowery words, so he said with a twinkle in his eyes, "Dad, if you want to know, why don't you just ask him directly?"
Chen shook her head and interrupted, "No, if he knows, we can listen to his heart. He deliberately hides it, so we don't know anything. Besides, we have neglected him before."
"Madam is right. People only speak the truth when they are drunk. If he is on guard in the future, he won't be able to hear the truth. So, keep your brother-in-law's feelings to yourself and don't tell anyone."
The three were excited to hear Xu Qiu's voice, but at the same time, they felt regretful for neglecting him when Xu Qiu married into their family.
…
Xu Qiu followed behind Qin Jianjia, admiring her figure.
[My petite wife, I don't know how she became a great general. Can such a small body exert great strength? ]
Qin Jianjia paused for a moment when she heard this.
Her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with anger. She didn't like people talking about her figure behind her back, so she turned around and looked at her husband.
But at this time, Xu Qiu's eyes were already on the willow tree with floating catkins, as if he was admiring the garden.
However, Qin Jianjia heard [The letter accusing the Qin family of collaborating with the enemy should be hidden under this willow tree. Do you want to tell her? Forget it. She won't believe it even if you tell her].
"What's wrong?"
Although Qin Jianjia could hear his inner thoughts, she still spoke.
Pretend not to hear him.
Xu Qiu replied calmly, "This willow tree is quite unique. I looked at it a few more times."
"Yeah." Qin Jianjia responded softly, her original anger disappeared, she pursed her lips and said softly: "You are the son-in-law of the mansion, walk side by side with me."
Xu Qiu nodded and quietly followed her pace. The two walked side by side, but they didn't say a word throughout the whole process.
Qin Jianjia never heard his voice again.
When they arrived at the east wing, Xu Qiu went to the side room to sleep.
When he first married into the Qin family, he never slept in the same room with Qin Jianjia. He slept in the study on the first night, and then lived in the side room.
As for the main house, or Qin Jianjia's boudoir, Xu Qiu had never entered it once.
They are actually a couple in name only.
When Xu Qiu entered the side room, a maid dressed in purple brocade with a sword on her waist suddenly appeared beside Qin Jianjia and reported: "Master, the two maids have confessed everything. It was a matchmaker named Zhang from outside the mansion who ordered them to do it. Unfortunately, when we caught the matchmaker, she committed suicide."
"Are you sure it was suicide?"
"Yes, Master, he committed suicide by taking poison. The source of the poison has not yet been found."
The purple maid said firmly.
Qin Jianjia was silent for a while, then said to her: "Xiaoxia, there should be a letter hidden under the willow tree where your uncle stopped just now. Go and look for it."
"yes."
Xiao Xia immediately disappeared beside her.
I'm looking for letters under the cover of night.
After a while.
Xiao Xia, with mud on her face, came back and handed over a muddy wooden box with a few grass leaves on it.
Qin Jianjia patted the dirt on it and opened it gently.
A stack of letters appeared in front of her. She picked up a letter gently, opened it and took a look. She was stunned for a moment, and then quickly read the contents of the envelope.
Someone imitated her handwriting in the correspondence with the North Vietnamese delegation!
The contents of the letter all expressed his longing for the Kingdom of Beiyue, and even mentioned his dissatisfaction with the current Daqian government and the empress. He had the strength but was unable to make further progress, and hoped to ask for a title in the Kingdom of Beiyue.
Qin Jianjia's breathing was a little disordered, as if she was angry.
As Xu Qiu thought, someone wanted to frame the Qin family!
Although these letters were not enough to bring down the Qin family, they had lost the emperor's trust and would have a hard time in the court in the future.
Qin Jianjia clenched her jade hands tightly, crumpled the letter into a ball, and then said to Xiao Xia: "Bring the brazier over here, don't let anyone see it."
After giving the order, she took out a dagger and cut her finger. She wanted to write a letter in blood and put it back in its place.
