Chapter 136: The Jewel Chain
On the way to Ningxiang Courtyard, Gray Wen said: "The second lady is not close to us, why did she suddenly open her mouth and ask us for something?"
Qin E remembered that she took Qin Yan to visit the Qi family yesterday, and the Qi family ate the pastries they brought, praised them repeatedly, and opened her mouth to ask them to make some more. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to Qi's temperament, it is indeed very strange.
Qin E said: "Probably the pastries you made are so delicious that even a reserved and steady person like the second lady can't help but ask for it." ”
In Lanwan Garden, Gray Wen's pastries are the best, and the ones sent to the Qi family are all from her hands.
Gray Wen pursed his mouth slightly: "The eldest lady is joking with me." ”
Qin E saw that her white face was flying with two pale powders, and the smile in the corner of her eyes was poetic and picturesque, and she was greatly comforted.
In this life, Gray Wen's personality is much more lively.
From rebirth to the present, many things have changed, just like this time the second lady was injured, and it didn't happen in the previous life.
What does this portend?
Qin E entered the incense courtyard with full expectations.
The Qi family was tending to the flowers and plants, and in the Eight Immortals Plate, a narcissus bloomed out of the dust.
"Yesterday it was still blooming, but today it is blooming. ”
When Qi saw Qin E come in, he smiled and wiped his hands wet. "I guess I saw a beautiful girl like you, and I was anxious to compare the beauty, so I opened it early. ”
Qin E said with a smile: "How can people compare to newly blooming flowers, I knew that I would come later, wouldn't I be bored with myself." ”
Qi smiled meaningfully: "This is not necessarily, isn't there a saying that people are better than flowers, I think you are a thousand times better than this flower." ”
After speaking, he sighed softly as if talking to himself: "Your mother is so stunning, how can you be bad?"
Speaking of which, Qin E had already concluded that there was really something wrong with the Qi clan calling her over today, and this matter was related to the Shen clan.
Qi glanced at Bai Ling, Bai Ling understood, and led Gray Wen out. Gray Wen looked at Qin E hesitantly, and seeing that Qin E did not object, he left the room with Bai Ling.
In the room, Qi and Qin E sat opposite each other, Qin E was not in a hurry, but just sat upright and waited for Qi to speak. Qi Shi was silent for a while, and the little girl who was so calm finally opened her mouth first.
"Yuan Niang, do you know, did I deliberately ask you to run again today?"
Qin E smiled lightly: "Didn't the second aunt ask me to bring you snacks?
Qi Shi didn't answer, but got up and took a small box from the dresser and pushed it in front of Qin E: "I came to you for this." ”
Qin E wondered in her heart, took the box and opened it gently, and saw a thin gold chain inlaid with rubies lying inside.
The chain was neither a bracelet nor a necklace, with no head or tail, like an accessory that had fallen from jewelry.
"What is this?"
"You haven't seen this thing, so you don't recognize it. But speaking of which, few people in the whole house recognize it. Qi smiled contemptuously and said, "This is He's thing." ”
"He has a golden phoenix hairpin inlaid with rubies, which is very delicate and small, but because this phoenix hairpin is too small and delicate to her liking, she only wears it once and never takes it again. I liked it very much, and I looked at it carefully, so I was very impressed. When I saw this small piece of chain, I immediately recognized it as her phoenix hairpin. ”
Qin E picked up the chain and looked at it carefully in the sun, and said, "Second aunt is really good eyesight, this can also be seen." But so what, it's just a chain. ”
Qi asked her rhetorically, "Does Yuan Niang know where I picked it up?"
Qin E glanced at her, and the highlight of her heart finally came.
"I don't know. ”
Qi's gaze was deep. "I picked it up in front of your mother's house. ”
Qin E looked at the Qi family: "I didn't understand what the second aunt meant. ”
"Yuan Niang probably doesn't know, when your mother got married, she wore ten miles of red makeup, and the one hundred and twenty cages that accompanied her marriage can be described as priceless. When you went to Liaodong Mansion, these things were locked in the old courtyard. ”
"I've heard a little about this, what does this have to do with the third aunt?"
Qi sneered: "The He family's background, everyone in the capital knows it. She has no money in her hands, and she spends her days scraping around, and she is notoriously stingy. But the donation a few days ago, I didn't care about donating five hundred taels. ”
"The He family has been secretly embezzling the former loan sharks of the public middle school, and a while ago he was cheated out of a large amount of money, and he couldn't even buy back the winter clothes of his subordinates, but he was just like this, but he became rich overnight, don't you think it's strange?"
Qi sat up straight, except for his face being a little sickly sallow, the whole person couldn't see any discomfort at all.
"It's very likely that the Ho clan embezzled your mother's dowry!"
Qin E glanced at Qi Clan deeply.
She had already known about He's stealing of Shen's dowry, but she didn't expect the second lady to find out.
There is also the matter of the He family's usury, and the second lady also knows it clearly.
The second lady is really hidden.
But why did she suddenly tell herself this?
Qin E tilted her head slightly, rubbing the thin gold chain in her hand, "Second aunt said this, is there any evidence to prove it?"
If you don't believe me, I can find a chance for you to meet He's phoenix hairpin. ”
Qin E put the thing back in the box and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't believe this, it's just that just because this thing appeared in my mother's former residence, I said that the third aunt stole her mother's dowry, and the reason is not sufficient." A smart person like the second aunt wouldn't have thought of this. Qin E paused and said, "Besides, why did the second aunt go to her mother's former residence for no reason?"
Qin E's words are so heart-wrenching.
Qi didn't care at all, and smiled calmly, "I was suspicious, so I went and picked this up." As you said, this alone naturally cannot determine what Ho has done. It's just that when I think about it, I can't hide it in my heart, and I'll tell you when I think about it. ”
After speaking, Qi Shi covered his lips and sighed: "Your mother has taken care of me a lot in the past, and I have always been sad when she encountered great difficulties. I'll give you a heads-up today, or maybe I'm not right, but it's all a piece of kindness to my aunt, and it's all my gratitude to your mother. ”
Qin E has always known that the Qi family can speak, but only now is he really impressed. What a serious thing, when it came out of her mouth, it became a homely thing like a small person in the market.
No wonder the He family has the support of the old lady, and Aunt Fang has the support of Qin Yun, and she can still occupy a place in the mansion.
Qin E was full of emotion in her heart.
The old lady really has good eyesight, and she gave Qin Tao such a capable daughter-in-law.
Seeing that Qin E was silent, Qi was a little anxious in his heart. How did she know that?
