After Lord Lu left, Qin Baichuan instructed Ding Sanshi to find a place to dock at random, and Ding Sanshi went to buy a few jars of wine, rowed the boat to the center of the river, and let the canopy boat flutter, while they drank bitterly to the moon. Ding Sanshi knew that Qin Baichuan was in a bad mood, so he didn't say much to him, just gulped down. The more Qin Baichuan drank, the more energetic he became, the more he drank, the clearer his thinking became, and he made a simple plan according to the priority of things.

Waking up from the canopy boat the next morning, Qin Baichuan only felt a sore back, took a bowl of fish soup that Ding Sanshi had boiled a long time ago, and after his body warmed up, he first went to the Baihua Workshop to take out some contract documents, and then ordered Ding Sanshi to go to the Bliss Army, and he hired a post carriage to go to Wanhua Xiaozhu without hurrying.

When standing at the door of Wanhua Xiaozhu, looking at the two vermilion gates, Qin Baichuan was slightly distracted, since he left here on Chinese New Year's Eve, he hadn't come back for a whole month, and this time he came back to make Qu Xi die to him, Qin Baichuan felt a little painful.

Stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the door, the footsteps in the courtyard moved, and the vermilion gate slowly opened, but it was Hu Bo who poked his head out of it, and after seeing Qin Baichuan, Hu Bo was slightly stunned at first, and then with a smile of reproach and concern on his face, he shook his head and said: "Abba Aba......"

Qin Baichuan and Hu Bo couldn't achieve normal communication, but since the Hundred Flowers Workshop picked up a life, Hu Bo completely unloaded the burden on his body, and guarded Hu Bo in Wanhua Xiaozhu every day, and his current spirit is much more abundant than before.

"Huber, how is your old man doing lately?" Qin Baichuan asked with a smile on his face.

"Aba, Aba!" Hu Bo patted his chest, pointed at Qin Baichuan again, and nodded vigorously. Qin Baichuan probably understood this sentence, and Hu Bo thanked him for saving his life.

"It's all a family, and Hu Bo is polite." Qin Baichuan shook his head: "What about Quxi, is it inside?" ”

"Abba, Ababa?"

With a hint of inquiry in his voice, Hu Bo made a gesture for a long time, but unfortunately Qin Baichuan didn't understand too much, so he had to smile and say, "Forget it, Uncle Hu, I'll go in by myself." ”

Hu Bo nodded, Qin Baichuan came in sideways, carefully looked at the grass and trees of Wanhua Xiaozhu, and finally sighed in his heart and pushed open the door of the attic.

"Old immortal, Miss just fell asleep, didn't she tell you to be quiet?" Qin Baichuan pushed the door a little louder, and Granny Hu's dissatisfied scolding came from the kitchen.

"Aunt Hu, it's me." Qin Baichuan walked over slowly, and saw that Granny Hu was wearing an apron and was engrossed in making pastries, and the entire attic was filled with a rich aroma.

"Ah, Xianggong Qin?" Granny Hu's body stiffened slightly, she turned her head in surprise and joy, and walked to Qin Baichuan's side as if she smelled a strong smell of wine, Granny Hu seemed to have never left Qin Baichuan, as if the elders reprimanded: "Xianggong Qin, it's not the old woman who said you." Look at you, it's a person who has already married, and it doesn't matter if you don't go home for a whole month, it's you who are busy. But you have to take care of yourself! Looking at your tired face, I think I drank with my friends again last night until dawn, right? ”

"Auntie, I'll pay attention." Although Granny Hu's words were a reprimand, she did not hide her concern for herself, Qin Baichuan felt that her nostrils were sore, and he had been married to Qu Xi for more than half a year, he not only established a deep relationship with Qu Xi, but also had a family relationship with Granny Hu and others.

"Pay attention in the future, but you may not take it seriously in your heart." Granny Hu didn't believe it at all, and snorted: "You are the same as Miss, for the sake of Splendid Villa and for the industry under your hands, you are not going to die when you are busy!" I really don't understand, compared to the body, silver is really that important? ”

"Of course the silver is not important, Auntie, you have to take good care of Qu Xi in the future, if she is busy and doesn't eat anymore, you will stop her." Qin Baichuan leaned against the door frame, barely let himself smile on his face, and comforted.

"Miss's temper you don't know, I can't persuade you, I have to be you." Granny Hu obviously didn't realize the deep meaning of Qin Baichuan's words, and said with a kind smile: "When you and Miss first got married, I and Lao Immortal couldn't be sure in our hearts, but now look at it...... The relationship between you and Miss is getting better and better, you have worked hard for the Hundred Flowers Workshop, and Miss has recently bought some books to learn how to be a suitable wife......"

"Quxi...... Really do that? Qin Baichuan was slightly pained, Granny Hu's so-called books were actually stories of talented and beautiful women circulating in the Jiangling market, a bit similar to modern romance novels.

"Of course! Don't you notice that Miss has changed a lot? Granny Hu asked expectantly.

"Found ......" Qin Baichuan gritted his teeth: "But...... Po Hu, there is something I want to tell you, can you keep it a secret for me, and then do me a favor? ”

"Is there anything that an old woman can help, just say it." Granny Hu added firewood while taking care of everything.

"Aunt Hu, the stakes are very high, I hope you can keep it secret for me, even Uncle Hu can't tell me." Qin Baichuan said inch by inch: "If you can, I hope Auntie can make an oath." ”

"So serious?" Granny Hu realized that Qin Baichuan didn't seem to be joking, hesitated for a moment, and raised three fingers: "I swear, as long as you don't hurt Miss, I am willing to help you if you have anything, and I won't leak it out." ”

"I'm sorry, Aunt Hu, Baichuan is a last resort." Qin Baichuan took a deep breath and tried his best to be tactful in his words: "Maybe Auntie is disappointed, this time I will not go back to Wanhua Xiaozhu to live for a long time, but to meet Qu Xi, and then say goodbye to you." ”

"Farewell? Where are you going? Granny Hu was stunned: "Xianggong Qin, you are not really fascinated by the fox spirit outside as Miss Qin complained, right?" ”

"Auntie, listen to me." Qin Baichuan was very frank: "I think you've heard that Qin has a bad character and is also amorous outside...... But to tell the truth, in my heart, Qu Xi is my lady, and no one can shake her status. ”

"I believe it." Granny Hu nodded vigorously, on the matter of Quxi's disappearance on Chinese New Year's Eve, Qin Baichuan expressed his attitude, but Granny Hu was still full of doubts: "Since you like Miss, Miss also likes you, you have a good life, why do you want to leave?" ”

"Auntie, you swore an oath, don't tell anyone." Qin Baichuan emphasized.

"Say it, I understand!" Granny Hu clenched her fists.

"Auntie, do you know who kidnapped Quxi and injured Uncle Hu around Chinese New Year's Eve?" Qin Baichuan lowered his voice.

"Probably someone from the Cheng family, right? Miss seems to have asked the old immortal to check, what is it called Cheng Xingyun? Granny Hu is not sure, for her, it is good that people can come back alive.

"Cheng Xingyun is just a puppet, the real master behind him is ......" Qin Baichuan hesitated for a moment, thinking that Granny Hu had sworn that she would not leak it easily, so he spit out two words: "King Yi." ”

"Righteous King?!" Granny Hu's eyes widened suddenly, and then she realized that her voice was a little louder, and she covered her mouth and looked at Qin Baichuan in disbelief. Seeing Qin Baichuan nodding in confirmation, Granny Hu was even more puzzled: "Xianggong Qin, how could the righteous king kidnap Miss?" What the hell is going on? ”

"I can't tell you about the grievances and grievances for a while, anyway...... Aunt Hu, I won't hide it from you, the people sent by King Yi are all masters of the Longevity Palace, and I can't deal with it at all. Qin Baichuan had a slight humiliation on his face: "In order to ensure that Qu Xi is safe and sound, I had to sign a wordless contract, and I was also placed with a lot of eyeliner around me, and I couldn't help but do things for the righteous king." ”

"No wonder, no wonder Miss said that you have something to hide from her since you came back from the Qianjin Gambling House last time, it turns out that this is the case!" Granny Hu suppressed her voice, with a deep guilt in her eyes: "If you don't want to come home this month, you don't want to implicate Miss...... It's a pity that the old woman thought that Xianggong was being fooled, and she gave the young lady a lot of bad ideas to save Xianggong's heart...... Qin Xianggong, you have been wronged. ”

"It's not that I'm wronged, I just feel ...... Obviously, you can be happy with Qu Xi and be a legitimate couple, but now you can't help but give up. Qin Baichuan was also extremely distressed.

"Why give up?" Granny Hu had a firm look in her eyes: "What can the righteous king do?" We are a man who is supposed to be a man, what can he do with you, Miss, and Splendid Villa? It's true that he is high and powerful, but don't forget that under this bright blue sky, there is also the Ninety-Five Honor! ”

"The emperor sometimes has his helplessness, Aunt Hu, don't shout, I'll tell you secretly...... Well, in fact, the emperor already knew what the righteous king did to me, but he had no choice but to insert his eyeliner beside me to check and balance the righteous king. Qin Baichuan said cautiously: "That is to say, if I do something that disagrees with either party, I will have my head on the ground, and Qu Xi will also be implicated." ”

"Oh my God!" Granny Hu completely changed color this time, and looked at Qin Baichuan in horror.

"This is only part of it...... Qin Baichuan told Granny Hu the general thing, and sighed again: "In the past month, I have tried my best to balance the relationship between the two sides, but there are always accidents in everything...... Last night I was drinking with Lord Lu, and he told me that by a month at the latest, the emperor's decree might come down...... Kill the Nine Clans. ”

Qin Baichuan deliberately made the matter more serious, in order to attract enough attention from Granny Hu, and sure enough, I heard that it was the emperor who issued a holy decree, and in this era of the most holy imperial power, Granny Hu was a little confused.

"In order to keep Qu Xi out of the matter, I left a letter of resignation to Qu Xi from Lord Lu, so that from the perspective of the Great Song Law, Qu Xi has nothing to do with me, and Lord Lu also made a promise, saying that he would protect her thoroughly." Qin Baichuan smiled at Granny Hu with a smile.

"Miss can clear up the relationship, but what about you, what about you?" Granny Hu grabbed Qin Baichuan: "If you are dragged by the emperor to kill your head, how will Miss live?" ”
