Qin Jinyi really didn't expect that things would develop to this point. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info said those words to Qin Hanzhen that day, it was really just an impulse. Although she didn't think very well, she didn't expect this move to bring her so much trouble!

The gossip that was secretly circulating throughout the mansion was true; the actions of the Xu family also showed their intention for Qin Hanzhen; the words and deeds of the sisters Xu Xiu and Xu Lan were clearly to make Qin Hanzhen and Xu Zheng a pair, not Xu Rong; when the Xu family brothers and sisters came to the mansion, the clothes that Qin Hanzhen wore also showed that she intended to please them, otherwise how could she dress up like the Xu sisters for no reason? With so much evidence, Qin Hanzhen is not innocent herself, and it is very reasonable to be talked about. Qin Jinyi thought that what she said at that time was reasonable everywhere, and girls who were a little ashamed should be ashamed!

Qin Jinyi has also seen many daughters of official eunuchs on weekdays, and even girls of the same age who have always had a reputation for being "dignified and steady" have to panic when they hear someone say gossip about her, either crying and constantly defending themselves, or scolding people angrily. Who would be like Qin Hanzhen, who didn't even have a shocked expression, didn't panic at all, but directly asked her who was saying these words, and asserted that she was innocent, her sister was not protecting her in front of people, and the dignified courtesy of the past was pretended......

At such a young age, why is it so difficult?!

At this point, however, it is too late to pursue any of these things. Qin Jinyi knew that if she couldn't come up with an answer that would satisfy her elders, it would definitely be difficult to pass this hurdle! If she just said that she pretended to be a good sister, but in fact she didn't have a heart of love for her sisters, but instead gloated over her sister being gossiped about, then she might have to be scolded a little, and then she could be prevaricated by a little punishment. She had been punished for mistreating her cousin before, so it would be no surprise that she would offend again. After three or two months, things have changed, and she can get over if she pretends to know her mistakes and can change them.

But if Changfang knew that she spread rumors for no reason and framed her sister, she would definitely be punished a few points heavier. And if the people in the long room and the third room know that she has careful thoughts about Xu Zheng and the young son of the King of Shu, it will be difficult to be good!

Qin Jinyi gritted her teeth and decided to cause trouble: "I...... I actually remember one thing, I heard people say this in Ma's house. It was when I went to her house with my grandmother that day that I heard the Ma family say this. But I don't know who that person is......"

It is not for nothing that she chose the Ma family as a scapegoat in Li, Liu, and ***. This Ma family is not the maiden family of Qin Song's ex-wife Ma, but a new jinshi in the upper department, who has just been promoted to a foreign officer. In terms of official rank, Master Ma is almost the same as Qin Bofu, but in terms of family background, there is a world of difference, it is said that he was only born in the family of the owner of a small land, and his ancestors have never had an official body. However, the wife of this lady was the only daughter of a salt merchant, and she had a rich dowry in her hand, as well as a few very lucrative properties. Ma Da's family is wealthy, but he has no backers, for fear that his foothold in Beijing will be unstable, so he hugged Qin Bofu's thigh, and he stammered to please him on weekdays, so he wanted to protect himself in the name of the Chengenhou Mansion.

The Li and Liu families are both official eunuchs with some backgrounds, but their official ranks are lower, and it is not easy to do it if they really want to form grudges. This Ma family alone has a request from Qin Bofu, and they don't have much to rely on, so it's best to handle it. Qin Jinyi felt that as long as she passed the test today, and then begged her grandmother and mother to send someone to deliver a letter to the Ma family, the Ma family would fulfill this lie for her.

Who knew that as soon as Qin Jinyi's words came out, her father Qin Bofu jumped up first: "Don't talk nonsense!How can you be a member of the Ma family?!"

Qin Jinyi couldn't help but be stunned, not understanding why his father would say such a thing.

How did she know Qin Bofu's suffering? The Ma family did ask for him, but it was completely for the sake of the face of the Cheng'en Mansion, and it was only because there was no way to know the rest of the Qin family that they would ask him Qin Bofu to come to him. Mrs. Ma begged him to help him go to the government to get a batch of salt leads, and when Mrs. Ma successfully sold the salt leads, she would give him a dividend. If all goes well, he will be able to earn a huge sum of 50,000 taels of silver in one go by the end of this year.

That's not a small amount of money. On weekdays, the financial power of the second room is in the hands of his mother Xue, and his wife Xiao Xue can only receive silver from her mother-in-law every day with the right cards, and Qin Bofu is naturally no exception. But when he is such a big person, he naturally needs to spend money, and he doesn't want to ask his mother every time. His mother, Xue, has always had an idea, if he didn't open his mouth, she would definitely agree, and sometimes she couldn't understand that some money was good to spend, so Qin Bofu needed some private money to use. Of the 50,000 taels of silver, he planned to pay only 20,000 taels to his home, and keep the remaining 30,000 taels by himself. Therefore, he could not tell his family until the money arrived.

Now that his favor has been entrusted, the salt has also been transferred to the Ma family, just waiting for the dividends at the end of the year. If his daughter is allowed to bring the trouble to the Ma family at this time, the Ma family knows that they will offend the two heads of the Qin family's marquis, will they still look at his face? At that time, his 50,000 taels of silver, I don't know who will be cheaper!

When Qin Bofu thought of the 50,000 taels, he didn't care about his daughter's face, thinking about it, if Qin Jinyi hadn't talked nonsense, how could he have caused today's incident? He directly pointed at his daughter's nose and scolded: "Who are you listening to? It will never be the Ma family! You make it clear to me, don't just find someone and say that it is the culprit." If you lie in front of your elders, do you still have humility in your eyes?!"

Qin Jinyi was stunned, unable to understand her father's actions. Xue screamed and grabbed his son: "Bo Fu, what are you doing here? Why do you say that the child lies? If it wasn't for the people of the Ma family, why would Sister Yi say that it was them? How can you blame your own daughter for a few outsiders?!"

Qin Bofu was angry, but he couldn't tell the truth.

Xu, who was sitting on the right seat, guessed a few points: "This Ma family is the Ma Yuan Wailang family, right? The people of his family are surrounding the eldest nephew and eldest nephew and daughter-in-law every day, and they are looking forward to protecting his family's wealth by borrowing the name of our Chengenhou Mansion." When the big girl came to his house as a guest, he was only attentive and careful, but he was afraid that he would not be thoughtful enough, so how could he gossip about her sister in front of the big girl? This is very unreasonable. ”

Qin Jinyi's heart was cold. How could she have forgotten this?

Niu said coldly on the side: "Maybe the eldest girl doesn't look down on the three girls in our family, and deliberately asks the Ma family to speak ill of the three girls." Since the Ma family has the heart to tie up the eldest nephew, if the eldest nephew's daughter has any request, they may also agree. ”

Qin Jinyi said with a pale face: "No...... No, Jinyi didn't dare to ......" her eyes were red, and she knelt down softly, almost crying, "I didn't ...... I didn't ask anyone else to do that, really...... Me, I...... I may be mistaken, not the Ma family...... That's the Li family or the Liu family......"

"That's enough!" Xu Shi said coldly, "If the eldest girl really wants to say that, then I will send someone to these three families to inquire about who is so rude, making up gossip about my Qin family's girls, and ruining the reputation of our Qin family! Since some of them do not cultivate their morals, then our family will also directly report their grievances and seek justice from them!"

Qin Jinyi really cried this time. It's such a big deal, she can't end it at all, what should she do?

At this time, Xue Shi came out: "Madame, who is she scaring with this? What's the big deal? It's just a few gossips, or is it said by outsiders." You don't blame others, why do you blame our own children? Look what you have bluffed our sister Yi'er?!"

Xu Shi glanced at her coldly, and she didn't pay attention to it. In the past 30 years, she has quarreled with this concubine a lot, which time was not the other party who took the initiative to back down? Since the Xu family wants a good name, she must endure her anger! Otherwise, outsiders will only say that Changfang bullies orphans and widows, and at that time she Xu is the one who is scolded!

I didn't think that the Xu family was no longer fighting alone, and the third room was closely related to today's events, and the Niu family saw that the Xue family was arrogant, so he jumped out and said: "What did the eldest sister-in-law do wrong? Didn't she ask your granddaughter which outsider said gossip? It's just that your granddaughter can't say it." I don't think these gossips are said by outsiders at all, but she is talking nonsense herself, and because she is jealous that the three girls in our family have won the praise of the elders, she deliberately says some gossip to ruin the reputation of the three girls! Such a vicious heart is really worthy of being taught by you, and it is indeed your own granddaughter!"

Xue was so angry that he stomped his feet: "Who are you scolding?!"

Niu snorted coldly: "If you really don't have any education, you know that you are at a loss, and you can't argue with others, so you start scolding." Even if we are from the countryside, we are more polite than you. ”

"You-" Xue's face flushed with anger. Xiao Xue hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Madam, you can dissipate your anger, forget it." ”

"What's it?!" Xue shook her off and walked over to his granddaughter and hugged the latter, "Anyway, what our sister Yi said is the truth." She said that if she doesn't remember, she doesn't remember, and that you're just trying to embarrass her. They are all afraid that if she has a good family affair, she will overwhelm your limelight, so they are thinking about ruining the good future of our sister Yi. I'm telling you, no way!"

Niu Shi laughed and mocked: "It's really thick-skinned! I don't take care of myself with a basin of water, I don't deserve the so-called good future you think!" Xue glared at her angrily.

"Okay!" Xu stopped the quarrel between the two concubines in a loud voice, and said in a deep voice, "In front of the juniors, you are arguing like this, where do you have the slightest bit of the demeanor that the elders should have?! If I can't say it, then I can only acquiesce that this is from the mouth of a big girl. Qin Jinyi, say it!"

Qin Jinyi screamed, cried and hugged her grandmother's waist, buried her head in her arms, and refused to answer a word. She knew that her grandmother would protect her.

As she expected, Xue's once again stood up for her granddaughter: "Xu Yu, you don't scare people here! What did my granddaughter do wrong, you want to scare her like this?! It's just a few words of gossip, and no one else hears it, if it weren't for the three girls' little chicken belly, they would have sued for these few gossip, and they wouldn't have made trouble to this point today." You don't blame the third girl for not respecting her sister, but instead say that it's our sister Yi'er, you're too partial! Even if you're Mrs. Hou'er? Sister Yi is the girl in our second room, why are you scolding her?!"

"Just because this is the Chengenhou Mansion, and I am the Chengenhou Lady!" Xu suddenly raised his voice, and his tone was indescribably harsh, "If you don't obey the control of my housewife in the second room, you can move out of the mansion and set up another door!"

The Xue family and son were stunned, Qin Bofu frowned, but the Xue family was a little fearless. She smiled and was about to speak, but she heard Qin Bai interject on the side: "That's fine." The emperor gave me a title and a mansion, and I will move out sooner or later. In that case, why don't you take the opportunity to split up?"
