Chapter 485 Questioning
Anping Marquis's Mansion. Jiang Yunzhou pushed open the study door and strode in.
"Did I let you in?" The middle-aged man sitting at the desk put down the pen in his hand with a snap, looked up at Jiang Yunzhou coldly.
Jiang Yunzhou ignored the man's words and rummaged through the bamboo basket where the scroll was placed next to him.
He simply opened the scrolls, took a look at them and threw them aside, which made Anping Bo Jiang Zhiyu's eyes full of anger.
"Why are you crazy again? I've let you gain experience outside for the past three years, away from the rich and powerful city of Beijing, but you still haven't made any progress."
Jiang Yunzhou searched for a while but didn't find what he wanted, so he turned around and asked An Pingbo: "Where is the portrait of that woman?"
An Pingbo frowned: "What woman?"
"That woman, the woman who gave birth to me."
An Pingbo's face changed drastically, he slammed the table and stood up, his eyes full of disgust: "What are you crazy about? Why would you mention her for no reason?"
"Don't pretend. I've seen her portrait in your study. If you really hated her, how could you still collect her portrait?"
An Pingbo sat back down and said coldly, "You are mistaken."
"Then let's go ask Lady Anping, maybe she knows if I saw it wrong." Jiang Yunzhou said, turned around and was about to walk out.
"Why did you suddenly think of asking her? She's been dead for so many years, and I've never heard you mention her once." An Pingbo looked at him, "What stimulated you?"
"I just want to confirm something." Jiang Yunzhou lowered his eyes, "Are you sure she is really dead?"
"Of course. When I returned home, she had been thrown into a mass grave. I sent people to look for her and identified her body." An Pingbo said calmly, "Back then, you were raised under the name of your stepmother, and you were never close to her. After so many years, you suddenly remembered the person who gave birth to you. Is this a guilty conscience?"
"Isn't it all because of you?" Jiang Yunzhou put his hands on the table and looked at Anping Bo sarcastically. "You can't even protect your own woman. Oh, that's right, she's just a concubine. If you lose one, there are younger ones. Of course you don't care."
"Of course I wouldn't care about a concubine. She was pretty back then, and I spoiled her for a few years. If she died, there would be younger ones. You've played with a lot of women over the years. Do you really take them seriously? You're my child, and my blood flows in your body. Why are you pretending to be affectionate now?"
Jiang Yunzhou grinned: "Haha...you're right, your blood flows in my body."
Jiang Yunzhou didn't find what he was looking for, so he quarreled with An Pingbo for a few words and slammed the door and left. An Pingbo called his attendant in and asked him to find the people around Jiang Yunzhou to ask if anything had happened recently.
"Are you saying that the prince has taken a fancy to the sister of the Minister of Works, Lord Tang?"
"Yes, uncle."
"Is that woman really a beauty?"
"She is not only beautiful, but also has a nice voice and a great figure. She is also a god of wealth. The food street belongs to her. The prince treats her very differently. If it were another woman, she would usually take the bait after a few coaxings. For those who don't take the bait after a few times, the prince would lose patience and either buy her with money or force her with power. There is no one who fails. But for this Miss Qin, the prince tried every way to coax her."
"Who did the prince meet just now?"
"The prince just met Miss Qin."
"Could it be that the girl looks very similar to that woman?" An Pingbo said to himself.
That's all! No matter if she looks like her or not, she's not that woman anyway, so he can do whatever he wants with her! But this identity is a bit troublesome, she's actually a member of an official family, so I can't play around with her casually. I'll ask him some other day, and if he really likes her, I'll bring her back as a concubine!
When Qin Huiyin came out of the Dali Temple, it was less than two hours before dawn. She had gone to bed late, and then she had insomnia. When she woke up the next day, she had a splitting headache. But because of Tang Yichen's matter, she really couldn't sleep, and she was so sleepy that she was about to collapse.
"Miss..." Zhilan ran in happily. "Miss, wake up quickly, Mr. Song is back."
Qin Huiyin, who was originally lying in pain on the bed, sat up abruptly when she heard this. However, she sat up too hard and felt a sharp pain in her head. She almost fainted.
"Be careful." Su Jin supported him from the side.
"My brother is back, where is he now?"
"They must have just entered the city not long ago." Zhilan said, "The men around Lord Song rushed into the city first and came to our house to inform us."
"Quick, help me put on my makeup." Qin Huiyin said, "I need to put on thicker powder and heavier makeup today. My complexion doesn't look good, don't let him see it."
"Miss, Lord Song is back. You can ask him for help with the eldest master's affairs." Su Jin was beside her, tidying up her clothes.
Qin Huiyin frowned, "Have you forgotten that my brother still has a mess? He just came back and didn't know that the position of commander of the military department was taken by someone else. I think the things over there are enough headaches for him. Let's figure out a way to deal with big brother's affairs ourselves! In fact, the extent of the punishment for big brother will ultimately depend on that person's mood. I thought about it for a long time last night. Since Sister Xia can follow the path of King Wei, we can do the same."
Xia Ruwan used half of her property to exchange for Li Congxiao, and she could also use half of her property to exchange for Tang Yichen. If the royal family was greedy and felt that half was not enough, she could even give them all of her property as long as Tang Yichen could return safely.
She has plenty of ways to make money. Money can be earned at any time, but people only have one life.
Qin Huiyin quickly put on her makeup, changed her clothes, and took a carriage to the food city.
Song Ruize was escorting Lady Minghua back from visiting relatives, so he must first send Lady Minghua back to the Princess's Mansion. From the city gate to the Princess's Mansion, the Food City was the only way to go, so she only needed to wait there to see him.
"Song Yi, go find King Wei and tell him that there are new flavors of food in the Food City and invite him to come and taste them."
"Miss, since Master Song is back, why don't you wait until you meet him before deciding whether to contact King Wei? Master Song has a more thorough understanding of the current situation in the court."
"He just came back here, and I still have to deal with his troubles. I want to take care of my brother's affairs myself and not let him get involved."
"For Mr. Song, as long as he can help the young lady, it is not a burden. I think Mr. Song has returned, and it will only delay the matter for a few hours at most. It is better to meet with him and discuss it with him first."
"Here he comes." Zhilan said from the window, "Miss, Mr. Song is back."
Qin Huiyin walked to the window and saw the convoy returning to the city in a mighty manner, and they stopped at the entrance of the food city.
