Chapter XXVIII

Qin An had already listened to Wu Shaoying's continuous questioning, and guessed the meaning of his words, how could he not understand what his question implied?

How could a woman in the house of the He family know that Qin Ping escorted the King of Qin to Beijing, and what was so dangerous that she would not be able to come back? Unless she had already known that someone would attack the King of Qin and his party on the way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info told her the news, except for the people in the Jin King's Mansion who sent people to sneak attack, there would be no other candidates. This also means that the He family has a great relationship with the princess and the princess in the Jin Palace, and may even act as their eyes and ears.

Qin An couldn't help but think of his experience after coming to Datong with his wife He. When they first arrived, they were young and had no foundation, and they completely relied on the protection of their brother Qin Ping's boss. But this boss, General Ma, admires Qin An a lot, but he always looks down on him Qin An, I don't know if it's because he married He, or because he robbed his brother of the opportunity, or just because the friendship is not deep enough. In those years, he had a difficult time in Datong, and he didn't get along well with his boss and colleagues, let alone be promoted for meritorious service. He helped him make some connections, gave gifts everywhere, and even sent them to the Jin Palace, Taiyuan, and she went to Taiyuan in person more than once.

He felt that something was wrong, but He said that the entire Jin land was the feudal state of the Jin king, and since he was a general in the Jin land, he naturally wanted to please his boss. If he can win the blue eyes of the king of Jin, is he afraid that he will have no future? As an official, it should be like this, everyone does this, and if he doesn't do it, he will seem unsociable. He was too young at that time to understand anything, thinking that what He said was reasonable, so he obeyed He's arrangement in everything. It wasn't until General Lao Ma was transferred back to the capital and reminded him not to associate too closely with the vassal king before leaving, that he realized that he had committed a taboo and stopped the He family from continuing to associate with the Jin Prince's Mansion. For this reason, He also had a big quarrel with him, and finally lost his anger.

Looking back now, maybe the He family had a long connection with the Jin Palace, but they just kept him in the dark. Is it really for his future that He will catch up with Princess Jin? Or is it ...... As early as when the Chen family was in Linxian County, the He family had already known the people of Princess Jin?

Qin An's heart was trembling, and he wanted to refute Wu Shaoying's words, but he couldn't say a word. In his heart, it is actually clear that Wu Shaoying's words are not untargeted.

Wu Shaoying watched his expression change, knowing that he had been persuaded by himself, so he sighed faintly and said, "Second Brother Qin, I didn't say these words to scare you. What happened to His Royal Highness King Qin, you also know it in your heart. Even if the princess of Jin was once powerful, even if the prince of Jin almost became the crown prince, it is already a thing of the past. If you look at the reaction of the imperial court, you will know that this case is not small. My cousin-in-law was promoted by King Qin because of fate, and he will naturally have a bright future in the future, and your family can benefit from it. But if at this time, someone who exposes your family leaks the whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Qin, even if your brothers ask themselves about their innocence, how will the outside world view you?

Qin An asked in a hoarse voice, "What should I do?"

"This is the question I want to ask you, Second Brother Qin. Wu Shaoying looked at him, "You know the seriousness of this matter, and you should think about how to deal with it." I know that you have a deep relationship with He's husband and wife, so I don't force you to do anything, I just hope that you will think more about your relatives. Think about how old the teacher and his wife are, how much heart they have for your brother, and how sad and sad they are by your wife, think about your brother, who has loved you since he was a child, and gave you all the opportunities for promotion, and would rather stay in Yulin and eat sand by himself, but he still doesn't know that his wife has been forced to commit suicide. Whatever decision you make, ask yourself if you are worthy of these loved ones who have loved and cared for you since childhood. After they were hurt by your wife, do you want them to be innocently implicated and lose their lives again by your wife?"

Qin An walked into the inner courtyard with a miserable white face like a wandering spirit.

Wu Shaoying's words completely reminded him that he couldn't leave anything to chance. No matter how reluctant he is to the He family, he can't cross his parents and brothers. What's more, it was the He family who took him first? She knew that those were his flesh and blood relatives, so why did she hurt them? Could there be anything more important in this world than their home?

When Qin An walked through the courtyard, he saw that in the east wing, his father, Mr. Qin, was standing in front of the window and looking at him, and the sound of his mother Niu and his son Brother Zi'er talking and laughing came from behind him. Qin An and his father looked at each other, ashamed, and almost didn't dare to look at him directly.

Old Mr. Qin sighed and looked in the direction of the main house: "Go ahead, finish the matter, and come to see me and your mother again." ”

Qin An was silent and saluted, then took a deep breath and walked in the direction of the main house.

In the room, He sat on a chair, his face pale. Mama Jin has already left, and she also took Qin Taisheng's family with her. He already knew the news of Qin An's return, and also knew that he had met Qin Hanzhen and Wu Shaoying. The pair of nephews and uncles are the bitter masters, and they hate her to the bone, and it is impossible not to take the opportunity not to sue her. It won't be long before Qin An will come to her to question. She really didn't think that her in-laws would travel thousands of miles to find her bad luck, and she didn't know how to get out. But the suggestion made by Mama Jin made her even more frightened......

The door creaked open, and Qin An walked in.

As if frightened, He jumped up from his chair, his whole body seemed to tremble. Qin An looked at her expressionlessly, and his eyes were red. Her lips trembled, and she struggled to squeeze out a smile: "Second master...... I'll pour you a cup of tea......" touched the teapot with one hand and turned over the teacup with the other, but because both hands were shaking so much, he couldn't even do such a small thing.

"No need. Qin An stopped her move with just three words, and then he sat down directly in the right seat and stared at her: "Where is the eldest brother's family letter?"

He Shi was taken aback: "What?"

"Big brother's letter. Qin An said lightly, "In June last year, when you left home and returned to Mizhi, I handed over this letter to you for safekeeping, so that you could send it to your father and not make a public announcement." When you came back, you told me that the letter had been delivered, just to hide it from others, so your father and mother were still acting for outsiders to see. I didn't doubt your words before, but now, since my father and mother haven't seen this letter, where is it? Don't tell me you don't know!"

He didn't expect that as soon as Qin An entered the door, he didn't question or scold, and the first thing he asked was actually this family letter. The real family letter is long gone. On the night of Guan's suicide, she was afraid that the truth would be exposed, so she burned the family letter. Now Qin An asked her if she wanted it, where could she get it?

He could only say hesitantly: "In ...... In my luggage, I didn't bring it back when I left the rice fat......" She wanted to bite her tongue after saying that. Isn't this tantamount to admitting that he did not hand over the family letter to his in-laws?

He was unwilling and tried to remedy: "It's not that I don't want to hand over the family letter to the old lady, but ...... At that time, the family came and went, and many officials came. I remember that you instructed not to leak the news, for fear that the old lady would know the news and be overjoyed for a while, which would arouse suspicion, so ......" She glanced at Qin An timidly, "so I didn't take it out...... Later, when I left, I left the family letter at home, thinking that when the family cleaned up the house, they saw the family letter, and naturally knew the truth......

"You lie. Qin An said calmly, "After you left, all your luggage was sealed in the west wing, and no one searched for your things." But after the eldest brother sent a letter home from the capital, my father and mother knew that you didn't give them the family letter, so they asked Mama Hu to search for the luggage you left behind, and there was no such family letter. I've already asked, don't think you can deny the past. ”

He gritted his teeth and turned his head angrily.

Seeing this, Qin An's heart was even deeper: "Is it gone? The family letter has been destroyed by you, isn't it? You never thought of telling the family the news that the eldest brother is not dead, why? Don't tell me, just because the second girl of the Guan family said a few words of gossip about you?!"

He said unwillingly: "Why not?! I am your wife, giving birth to children for you, taking care of the family, and asking myself is not the slightest dereliction of duty." She's a little girl, why is she gossiping about me? It's just your sister-in-law!"

"What does this have to do with sister-in-law?" Qin An said coldly, "If you are dissatisfied with Miss Guan's second girl, just scold her to your face." She made her own mistakes first, and she didn't cultivate her morals, and the old master and the person who kept the etiquette would not protect her. If you say it to your face, not only will Old Master Guan and Miss Guan Er admit their mistakes to you, but even your sister-in-law will make amends to you, what do you have to be wronged about? If you are really angry, you can also send it to Miss Guan Er, why do you want to persecute your sister-in-law?!"

He Shi cried: "You only blame me for forcing my sister-in-law, I haven't thought about it, I just had a few words with her, where did you force her to die?

Qin An sneered: "You don't want to force her to die, you just want to force her to marry someone else!" He Ying, do you do this, are you worthy of my eldest brother and me?!"

Ho was dumbfounded.

Qin Anxin was sad and angry, and his eyes stared at her: "You tell me the truth, you ...... Are you really having trouble with your sister-in-law for those few gossips? Or do you ...... Because the second girl of the Guan family said the old things about you, you are afraid that the Guan family will publicize them, so you want to get rid of the sister-in-law? But I don't care about those old things, why do you care?"

"You don't care?" He was stunned.

"Why should I care?" Qin An sneered, "When I married you, I knew that you had an ex-husband and that Sister Zhang was someone else's daughter. Whether you are thinking about Captain Chen or other men, it is already a thing of the past. As long as you marry me, there is no place to be sorry for me. Why should I care about the past?!"

He was speechless, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, Qin An couldn't help but smile miserably: "I ask myself if there is no place to be sorry for you, but what you have done is worthy of me? )
