Chapter 47: Scheming
In Jinhui Courtyard, the prince was comforting Qin Yuan, who had been wronged.
In front of the prince, Qin Yuan naturally didn't dare to tell the truth, only said that there was a thief in the courtyard, and he didn't lose anything important, but he was frightened a lot.
As he spoke, he kept crying.
The prince hurriedly took out his own handkerchief to wipe his face for his fourth cousin.
The appearance of the fourth lady crying with pear blossoms and rain is really distressing. I had such a scheming at a young age, and I got it when I grew up......
The ministers who followed the prince shook their heads secretly, and they wanted to persuade the prince not to get too close to the fourth lady, but looking at the prince's expression, he was afraid that he would not listen.
It just so happened that Miss Six also came over to join in the fun.
Qin Wan walked up to the prince and saluted, called "cousin of the prince" sweetly in his mouth, and asked Mama to present the stewed bird's nest porridge.
Qin Yuan next to her didn't know when she stopped crying, and her eyes were full of hostility when she peeked at the sixth sister. I always thought that this sixth sister was stupid, but I didn't expect it to be blind.
The prince has always been well protected by the queen, and because of his young age, his mind is already simple, and when he sees his sixth cousin of the same age to please him, he is even more happy, so he and his sixth cousin are also warm, and he hangs the fourth cousin Qin Yuan aside.
Qin Yuan suddenly felt very bored, so he quit Jinhui Courtyard first.
In Wenxin Courtyard, Qin Sanye was talking to the Jiang family.
Jiang frowned, shocked and annoyed.
The matter of releasing the snake was actually done by Shun. Lai Shun is the son of Mama Hong, Mama Hong is the nurse of the Jiang family, she grew up taking care of her since she was a child, and when she got married, she followed her into the Qin Mansion, and she was the most trusted person around the Jiang family, and she was sent to Zhuangzi to do things a few days ago.
Mama Hong died of her husband when she was young, so she never remarried, and she had to obey a son. Because of his shame for his son, he was a little indulgent in his discipline, and he never thought that he would do such a thing.
Lai Shun has admitted that the snake was accidentally released by him.
The snake was not poisonous.
For the presence of His Royal Highness the Prince, the palace bought snake medicine and drugged it, and he happened to be the person in charge of drugged medicine. It happened that the market was buying live snakes at a high price, so he moved his mind and only put the medicine in the backyard, and the snake would naturally escape when it smelled the medicine, so he would run to the front yard, and he happened to catch it and sell it to pay off the gambling debts.
When the prince came that day, he happened to catch a live snake, and before he could hide it, he was dragged by Fugui to the gate to greet him, and the snake slipped out of his sleeve.
It sounded like it was just an accident, but Jiang didn't think it was an accident.
Behind Laishun, someone must have instructed him, and he was unknowingly used as a gun.
But Qin Sanye promised the prince that he would give him an explanation.
Lai Shun is a person from the third room, if he hands it over in the future, he will not admit himself and admit that it is the hands and feet of the third room, not to mention that at that time, someone exposed the fact that "the fifth lady played with a snake".
Fools know what the prince will think.
The people behind this scene are really clever.
The couple deliberated for a while, but they didn't come up with a decision.
Qin Yue walked in at this time and said to his father and mother: "We are worthy of our hearts, let's hand it over." The prince is not annoyed and is already annoyed, so he will tell him the facts clearly, and he can think as much as he likes!"
The Jiang family is still hesitating, putting this aside, Laishun is the lifeblood of Mama Hong. Once handed over, there is a high chance that you will die. Wouldn't Mama Hong be very sad like that.
Qin Sanye also knew his wife's thoughts, so he comforted her and said: "The prince is actually a kind child, tell him the truth, and I will plead for mercy on the side, and it should be okay to keep my life in order." β
"But Yue'erβ" Jiang looked at his delicate daughter, and stopped talking.
What my daughter likes is not good, but she likes ferocious animals like snakes. Now that he has committed the taboo of the prince, it will be difficult to repair the relationship in the future.
Qin Yue didn't care.
Even if the rumors didn't match the facts, she didn't bother to explain.
In fact, she didn't like snakes, but when she was three years old, at the Lantern Festival, she begged an old man who was a performer in public and let go of a little white snake, for which she spent ten taels of silver.
And the little white snake seemed to be human, but it was let go but didn't leave, climbed onto Qin Yue's neck, bit her gently, and then slipped away.
From now on, there are still a row of small tooth marks on Qin Yue's neck.
Another time, when everyone was playing in the garden, a ball python quietly appeared on the grass, and everyone screamed in fright. Qin Yue stepped forward without hesitation, pinched it in his hand, and played with it for a while before handing it over to the little guy below to take it to death.
I just begged the artist to let the little white snake go, but I thought it was a little pitiful. Later, in the garden, I only dared to hold the ball python in my hand and play with it, because I was sure and sure that the snake was not poisonous, and then I wanted to deter the people around me.
Except for these two times, she had never dealt with snakes again. But her reputation as a good snake spread in the house.
After all, it's a cocoon.
But it doesn't matter, she doesn't want to have anything to do with the prince.
Qin Sanye and the Jiang clan talked for a while, and finally decided to hand it over in the future.
Qin Yue didn't plan to tell Qin Yuan either, she wouldn't do anything without evidence.
Anyway, the fourth sister also suffered a dumb loss, let's see how she wants to jump.
Qin Yue ate a plate of snacks in her mother's courtyard, and then went to the * courtyard to play with her eldest sister.
When Qin Yue went, Qin Yu was embroidering a picture of the word "Shou" with a bitter face.
The Duan family put a lot of thought into this eldest daughter. Not only did the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting be taught by special teachers, but even in embroidery, three masters who were good at Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery and Shu embroidery were invited.
Duan went to the old lady to ask for business, and before leaving, he told her to embroider this picture of the word "longevity" before she could play.
Qin Yue suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and was busy out of Qin Yu's boudoir, and met Sister Wan who was playing rope flipping with the maids in the yard, and Sister Wan invited the fifth sister to play together.
Qin Yue had nothing to do anyway, so he simply followed suit.
The two talked while playing, "Fifth sister, guess where I just went?"
Qin Yue asked casually, "Where did you go?"
Qin Wan said with a smile: "I just went to the prince's place, but I didn't expect the fourth sister to be there too, the fourth sister cried like a tearful person, and the prince even wiped her tears with a handkerchief." β
"Oh, the prince is very good to the fourth sister. β
"It's not just good, it's just too good. The prince is really, although we and he are cousins, but after all, men and women are not close, and he is like the fourth sister, and it is a loss that no one else sees it, otherwise, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of our family if it spreads?"
Qin Yue couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart, this Sister Wan, jealousy is so obvious, can't I really see it? What's going on with the sisters in this house?
