Chapter 295: Suspicion
But Su Mian grasped the pain in Qin Xiang's heart, and now he didn't mean to poke his heart, but just to tell him some facts, if he didn't say it directly, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to resist it.
Therefore, although Lin Qingqing beside him was already frowning nervously and casting an uneasy look, the female Su Mian was still unhurried, smiling, and did not retreat because of Qin Xiang's few reprimands.
"Lord Qin, don't be angry yet, I haven't said anything yet. When I'm done, believe it or not, it's up to you whether you want to continue to be angry or not, anyway, I should go back to the palace. ”
Before today, Qin Xiang had never really confronted Su Mian head-on, even if he usually only said a few words very occasionally, he had never put the little girl in his eyes.
If it weren't for Liu Ce's many mentions of Su Mian before, and his daughter who was not angry. also has a lot of dealings with the regent and his party, and Qin Xiang will not look at Su Mian now.
But looking at Su Mian's unhurried appearance today, she was really not surprised, although Qin Xiang looked up to Su Mian in her heart, she felt that she was just a yellow-haired girl, and she didn't take it to heart, and waved her hand impatiently to signal that she had something to say quickly.
Su Mian took a step forward and deliberately lowered his voice, it was not alarmist for him to say this today, if Qin Xiang didn't believe it, he also had evidence.
"Qin Yu had a younger brother before? I heard that if that child is still alive, he is now more than ten years old, and he can be regarded as the eldest son of the Qin Mansion. It will be a matter of time before he cultivates for a few more years and inherits Lord Qin's family property. ”
Su Mian seemed to be smiling, but before the words of her eldest son came out, Qin Xiang's eyes had already widened and his face changed, and he looked at Su Mian in shock.
He originally thought that Su Mian was going to use the loss of his son in his early years to count the ridicule, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but before he could have more attacks, Su Mian said something that surprised Qin Xiang even more.
"But it's a pity, it's a pity, it's rumored that the little boy was abducted by robbers at a young age, and when he found it again, he was already unfortunately dead. But now how did I get other news, saying that the little young master is still alive, but he was sent to the poor countryside by someone with a heart and deliberately hid. ”
Su Mian's words are not groundless, before coming here, Gu Zhixing had already given Su Mian the latest investigation results, so Mrs. Qin really had a problem.
It's just that there is no particularly accurate news that Qin Ju's younger brother has been found, but Su Mian is now half true and half false, anyway, he knows that Qin Xiang will definitely believe it.
After listening to Su Mian's words, Qin Xiang staggered back a few steps, and when he raised his head to look at Su Mian again, the cold sweat on his forehead had already come out.
Now Qin Ju's mood is very complicated, both excited and a little worried and afraid. I was excited that if my son was really alive, the Qin family would have a successor, and there was no need to gamble on whether the child in the third aunt's womb would be male or female.
What's more, the third aunt gave birth to it, no matter how you say it, it is not as orthodox as the eldest son of the orthodox concubine.
And what he was worried and afraid of was that he thought that Su Mian was a little woman, and he didn't put her in his eyes if he relied on the regent's liking to be a powerful man on weekdays. And now that she is a woman, she can easily say these things, and it seems that she really underestimated her.
What's even more frightening is that this shows that the regent is already investigating his own family affairs! Did Gu Zhixing investigate other things, and even be defensive about himself? Qin Xiang didn't dare to think about it, so he could only stare at the person in front of him with wide eyes.
"Lord Qin didn't scold me, it's really rare! I thought you were going to point it at my nose and scold me, saying that I was spewing blood. Don't worry, I am friends with Qin Yu, and his and her brother's whereabouts are unknown, and I am also worried about this matter, even if it is not for Qin Yu, I will help her. ”
Su Mian chuckled and took a few steps back, and also distanced himself from Qin Xiang, he didn't want to get too close to him, this old man looked at him day by day, like a thief, he never knew anything about him.
He looked down on himself, and he was not uncommon to move forward.
It wasn't until Su Mian withdrew a few steps and Lin Qingqing stood side by side again that Lord Qin's face changed a little.
What Su Mian said just now, he naturally remembered it word for word, and now Qin Xiang could only pretend to be calm. Although he didn't want to show that he was being held back by Su Mian too much on the surface, he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
"What you're saying now is a fantasy! Then I want to ask you, if my son is really alive, how can I, as a father, not take him back to the palace and deliberately let him hide in the poor countryside? What a joke! ”
Qin Xiang questioned the person in such an angry tone, but Su Mian could clearly hear the slight tremor in her tone. If he really didn't take his words to heart, how could he be so lacking in confidence now?
This drama is sung here, Su Mian feels that it is almost over, today is also a little late, and the time agreed with Gu Zhixing is almost up, and he should also go out of the palace.
"If Lord Qin thinks I'm talking nonsense, then it's nonsense. But I also listened to another one that is more interesting, Lord Qin naturally won't disown his children, but some people don't want adults to recognize the little son, for example, Mrs. Qin? ”
Su Mian chuckled and said this, then looked at Lin Qingqing and smiled, and the two turned around and went back to the carriage, no longer looking at Qin Xiang's expression behind him. Whether he was surprised or angry now, it didn't have much to do with him.
Anyway, this is what he said, just this Qin Xiang's temper, he didn't put women in his eyes at all, even if he remembered this, he would definitely not say it to Mrs. Qin when he went back.
What Su Mian wants is for him to be suspicious, and he believes that even if he finds out the evidence, it won't have much effect, but he must let this Qin Xiang know, so that Qin Yu and his brother's lives can really be saved.
The matter of suppressing bandits is over, Su Mian was worried that Gu Zhixing and Gu Zhao were awkward, but on the second day, seeing Gu Zhixing, he went to the court normally, and he didn't hear what happened in the early dynasty, so Su Mian was a little relieved.
"The matter of suppressing the bandits is over, and I let them continue the project of mining combustible ice in the river, it shouldn't hinder Miss Su's plan, right?"
Su Mian was facing the big sun, busy purifying the combustible ice that was still in the yard now, when he suddenly heard someone say this, he raised his head in surprise, and saw that it was Gu Zhao who had changed into civilian clothes who came in, and walked in with an indifferent smile on his face.
Su Mian was naturally surprised, but he saw Gu Zhixing who came in behind him. As if he understood something, he hurriedly put down the bottles and cans in the book and greeted them.
"So early today? The emperor has already changed into his regular clothes and come to the palace, so he doesn't want to come to learn from me to purify combustible ice, right? That's just right, I don't have enough manpower now, if the emperor is willing to help, it will just solve my urgent need. ”
Su Mian was surprised, but before he could say a few words, he wanted Gu Zhao to do a free long-term job for him. Frightened, Gu Zhao hurriedly waved his hand, he naturally had other things to say today, but he couldn't be stolen by Su Mian as a laborer again.
Gu Zhixing smiled behind them and said nothing, Su Mian looked at this posture, he was worried that the two of them would be awkward, but not only did he not make an awkward appearance, but I am afraid that he also discussed a lot of things behind his back?
And the result of the discussion should be not bad, otherwise the two of them would not be so relaxed and happy at this time.
This time, he teased Gu Zhao, but it was Gu Zhixing who spoke for him. I saw Gu Zhixing come forward and take the bottles and cans from Su Mian to study them.
"Ah Mian don't embarrass the emperor, he came today, naturally he has something to discuss with you. He took the initiative to tell me today, I think this matter, you still have to nod and agree, I can't make up my mind. ”
It turns out that these two people seem to be in a good mood, and they actually came to the backyard together, and the feeling is that they want to pit themselves in turn? Su Mian was confused, although she complained like this in her heart, it was impossible to ignore it completely.
"What the prince said, if the emperor wants me to help with something, just say it. The more you say that, the more afraid I become, you can't fool me, right? ”
Su Mian's eyes widened with some vigilance, looking at the two people in front of him, this cute appearance really made Gu Zhixing laugh. If it weren't for the fact that Gu Zhao was here now, he wanted to continue to tease Su Mian for a while, but now that Gu Zhao was on business, Gu Zhixing didn't continue to interrupt.
Seeing this situation, Gu Zhao stepped forward and saluted. Although he is also the emperor now, he regards Su Mian as his teacher in his heart, and now he worships the emperor's uncle as his master, and the two of them can naturally afford to worship him.
"Miss Su mentioned the establishment of the academy before, I have already asked people to prepare, there are a few sites, I want Miss Su to take a look at it today. After the academy is completed, I will also enroll, and then I can really change my name to Mr. Sir of the fourth girl. ”
It turned out to be a matter of the academy, and when Su Mian heard that the site was finally going to be selected, her eyes naturally lit up. She had told Gu Zhao what she thought before, so she knew that Gu Zhao's address should not be too bad.
At least it can meet the conditions that he said before, and he does not plan to build it in the imperial palace, but it will not be too far from the imperial city.
After Gu Zhaocai finished saying this, Su Mian really saw the guards following behind him, and hurriedly took a roll of drawings. Looking at the size of the drawing, it really took effort and thought, Su Mian hurriedly took it over with the result, but before she could open it, Gu Zhao talked about something else.
"I'm not in a hurry about the location selection, Miss Su can take a look at it later, there is another matter when I came here today, I want to discuss it with Uncle Huang and Miss Su in person."
