Chapter 35: Let's Go Home
Xue Tan watched Ding Yufu being taken away, bowed his head and said something to Yin Qingqi, and Yin Qingqi went out.
Only then did Xue Tan turn around and say to Siniang, "I'll ransom Ding Yufu."
When Siniang heard this, she was a little surprised for a while, of course she could see that Xue Tan had no intention of taking Ding Yufu away, but his current behavior was really incomprehensible.
"But there's one more thing you need help with. Don't tell Ding Yufu that I ransomed her, I will give her some more silver, and I will bother Siniang with you......" Xue Tan paused, he looked at the door, made sure that Yin Qingqi didn't hear it, and continued.
"Send Ding Yufu out of the city."
"It's better to let her not come back."
Xue Tan seems to be good to everyone, but this is actually his terrible point.
That is, to maintain the same sense of alienation from everyone, and even, to be cruel to everyone.
Siniang listened to it and seemed a little embarrassed, but finally agreed.
The moment Qi Yuan saw Yin Qingqi go out, he couldn't sit still, and stood at the door of the Jinghong Pavilion looking at her.
Yin Qingqi was next to Xue Tan's horse, his head down, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking. Her clothes probably only had that little baggage, which reminded Qi Yuan of her in the past.
That bright and yearning woman can't wait to wear all the beautiful clothes in one day.
Every time she would come to him in new clothes and ask him if he looked good, Qi Yuan would always glance at her and nod perfunctorily.
Now that I think about it, she really looks good in anything.
But the person in front of him didn't care what he thought.
"The prince is so leisurely today?" After Xue Tan finished instructing Siniang, he found Qi Yuan standing at the door and came over to ask.
Why do you keep looking at Yin Qingqi and laughing?
"There's no way, I'm too idle, and I suddenly want to watch a play." Qi Yuan turned his head to look at Xue Tan and replied meaningfully.
Because there's a good show coming up.
Xue Tan listened, haha, it was a reply to Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan didn't plan to end the conversation just like that, and called Xue Tan to stop.
"Do you remember what I said last time?" Qi Yuan coldly popped up a question.
"The prince has said too much, I don't know which one you are referring to?"
"Hahaha, you'll be able to remember it soon."
Xue Tan only felt that today's Qi Yuan was inexplicable. He now knew that Qi Yuan had called Yin Qingqi to the Jinghong Pavilion, but after seeing Yin Qingqi unscathed, he didn't want to worry too much about it.
Xue Tan walked to Yin Qingqi's side, he got on the horse first, pulled Yin Qingqi up, and took the burden in Yin Qingqi's hand with the other hand.
Xue Tan lowered his head slightly and said, "Qingqi, let's go home." "I don't know if I said it to Yin Qingqi or if I specifically said it to Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan naturally heard Xue Tan's words, and he didn't care, watching the two leave.
The old general has been on the edge since he saw Xue Tan leaving, since Xue Tan did not send someone to pick up Yin Qingqi, and if Yin Qingqi wanted to leave, he didn't need anyone to pick him up at all, so there must be someone else behind this.
The old general walked around the room for dozens of years, and never saw Xue Tan come back. He is now like an ant on a hot pot, sweating profusely.
was in a hurry, and a voice came from the door, Xue Tan came back.
The old general immediately walked out, and when he saw that the woman had also returned, he was shocked, and said to Xue Tan with a cold face: "Come to my house."
When Xue Tan heard this, he glanced at Yin Qingqi, and instructed in a soft voice: "I'll look for you again in the evening."
The old general listened and snorted coldly.
Xue Tan followed the old general away, and Yin Qingqi returned to the house with the clothes he had packed. She always likes to put the clothes she usually wears on the head of the bed, but when she walked over and looked at it, she was stunned.
Her room had been touched.
She cleaned up the room as she left, all in the way she used most, but now that order was out of order.
What's more, the wooden box, which had been locked, had been opened.
The inside was empty, and the white inside was exposed in broad daylight, showing Yin Qingqi everything that had happened to it.
Yin Qingqi turned around and walked out the door and asked where the maid who used to be in her house had gone.
Yin Qingqi and the maid didn't get along for a long time, and besides, she wasn't used to her space being disturbed by others, they never said a word, and naturally Yin Qingqi didn't remember the maid's name.
Yin Qingqi's inquiring person hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's been a long time." I guess I'm going home. ”
Go home? Ran away with the piece of paper in Yin Qingqi's wooden box?
Yin Qingqi naturally couldn't believe this strange theory, but she couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.
Anyway, her room was specially moved, and the paper was deliberately taken away.
Originally, it wasn't an important thing, but when she thought that even what she believed in the most was already collapsing, she felt a chill from the bottom of her heart.
Anything that is locked can be stolen, what else can she keep?
Xue Tan followed the old general into the house, and directly asked the doubts in his heart: "What's wrong?"
The old general's anger was all written on his face, but he still patiently asked, "Do you know the origin of the woman you brought?"
Xue Tan felt strange, he had never told his old man about Yin Qingqi's identity, and when he asked at this moment, he must know something.
"She was brought back by me from the Hung Pavilion......"
"You're pretending you don't know!"
Xue Tan tried to hide it, but the old man saw through it at a glance.
After all, after getting along together for so many years, sometimes Xue Tan didn't have to open his mouth, and the old general knew what he was going to say.
"Yes...... Second Miss Houfu. ”
Xue Tan paused, he knew that it was impossible to hide the past, so it was better to invite it all truthfully.
The old general also sent someone to investigate Yin Qingqi's identity in the past few days, and he asked this sentence at first to test whether Xue Tan was still kept in the dark by that woman.
"I didn't know it when I first ransomed her back, but later, I found out." Xue Tan added another sentence and added.
The old general listened to Xue Tan's explanation, and half of his anger disappeared. Since Xue Tan didn't know it in the first place, his qi couldn't be initiated.
"Do you know what mistakes the second lady of the Hou Mansion has made?" The old general asked in a deep voice.
"Yes." Everyone said that she killed the crown princess.
"Do you know why?"
"My grandson doesn't know, but I believe that Yin Qingqi's original intention was not like this. Or maybe she's been wronged at all. ”
"Did you know...... She had an affair with the crown prince Qi Yuan? ”
The old general finally said what he held back in his heart.
