After hearing what the maid said, Qin Hongmiao stood up instantly, grabbed her hand, gritted her teeth and asked, "You say it again, but did you hear it right?"

Could it be that her aunt is still alive?

She is different from Qin Huailuo, she was raised by her aunt since she was a child, and her feelings are naturally different from others. Knowing the news of Bai Ning'er's death, Qin Hongmiao couldn't sleep well every night, and now that she heard the news, how could she not be pleasantly surprised?

The maid's hand was scratched and hurt, but she didn't dare to scream, but said softly: "Miss, what the slave said is true. ”

When she said this, she thought about it, and then said: "Speaking of which, the slave maid actually heard one thing, in the past two days, people have gossiped about it, saying that on the day of the fifth lady's accident, the master originally sent someone to take the aunt over. But then the fifth lady couldn't find it somehow, and then ...... My aunt is gone. ”

Hearing this, Qin Hongmiao's expression instantly became gloomy.

She had actually heard this before, and after she knew that her aunt was dead, she had also heard people talk about it.

When she heard this, those people were vague, but Qin Hongmiao thought of it in an instant.

If this is really the case, there are only two possibilities, either Qin Hongyao harmed her aunt, or her aunt was murdered by Liu Yueniang!

But when I think about it today, could it be that it was because of this incident that my aunt couldn't even go back to the house?

Thinking of this, Qin Hongmiao immediately got up and said, "Quick, serve me to change clothes, I'm going to find Qin Huailuo!"

These days, Qin Huailuo has become Qin Hongmiao's backbone, and she has to go to Qin Huailuo to discuss anything.

Who knew that when she rushed there eagerly and told her about the matter, what she got was not Qin Huailuo's surprise response, but frowned and asked, "What do you want?"

Qin Hongmiao didn't notice the change in his attitude, and lowered his voice and said, "Of course I'm looking for my aunt, she is our mother-in-law!"

"Oh, and then?"

Qin Hongmiao was stopped by him, she was a little stunned for a while, and asked hesitantly, "What?"

"Then, we were supposed to be a serious concubine and raised by the old lady in charge, but we instantly became the sons of the outer room. From being sheltered by the family to having nothing. ”

Qin Huailuo opened his mouth, but every word he could say was like a knife stabbing Qin Hongmiao's heart.

Her face turned white in an instant, and she gritted her teeth and said, "But, that's our mother!"

"So what?"

Qin Huailuo smiled coldly and asked rhetorically: "Qin Hongmiao, if you want to go to her, I won't stop you, but as a brother and sister, I will send you a piece of advice-think about the inhuman form that you have been tortured by your grandmothers all these days, what is it for?"

If Qin Hongmiao still had a lot of enthusiasm before, then after hearing Qin Huailuo's words, her whole person seemed to be poured with a basin of ice water.

She looked at Qin Huailuo in disbelief, wanting to say something, but she opened her mouth, and finally only said one extremely pale sentence: "That...... That's our mother. ”

It's just that unlike the previous question, it seems to be a rebuttal to yourself.

Qin Huailuo looked at her lightly, there was no emotion in his eyes, which also made Qin Hongmiao's gaze gradually dim. She took a deep breath and asked in a trembling voice, "What would happen to her if we left her alone?"

This time, Qin Huailuo replied to her, and what a calm analysis: "She will live well." After all, her father has doted on her as much as she has done for so many years, and even if she made such a big mistake last time, she returned to favor in just half a year, which shows her status in her father's heart. Even though it was the outer room, she had nothing more to lose than us, and nothing else. ”

When he said this, Qin Huailuo obviously forgot that he was the mastermind behind the murder of Qin Huaichuan in the first place, and although Bai Ning'er was involved, he would not resist all the blame alone. The reason why I carried it was just for this son.

But Qin Hongmiao was convinced, she raised her head, looked at this younger brother who was on the same day as herself, but was already a head taller than herself, and asked softly, "Then what should we do?"

Without my aunt, wouldn't I be even more bullied in the future?

Seeing her like this, Qin Huailuo turned around and walked to the table to get a cup of tea, handed it to her, looked at Qin Hongmiao and stretched out his hand to take it, and then said lightly: "Without her, our identity has increased, which is beneficial to you and me." ”

After all, when Bai Ning'er was there before, even if she was favored, she was still a concubine. But now that Bai Ning'er is nominally dead, then when outsiders talk about them in the future, they will only introduce them and say, "This was raised by the old lady."

In terms of reputation, it sounds a lot better. And in the future, whether it is an official career or a family, it will be more favorable than before.

And most importantly, "Aren't you going to the palace?"

Although it was only a short sentence, Qin Hongmiao suddenly understood, raised her head, and said, "You let me go and ask my grandmother?"

"It's not begging, it's grandmother's mercy. ”

Qin Hongmiao only felt suddenly enlightened.

If before, she was still a little apprehensive in her heart, but now, she is only full of joy.

Yes, this is a good opportunity.

If it was before, then with Liu Yueniang in front to stop her, it would be impossible for her to cross Liu Yueniang to seek a chance to enter the palace draft.

But now, the aunt is nominally dead, whether it is a father or a grandmother, they will inevitably feel that it is their two children who have been wronged.

In such a situation, she went directly to her grandmother, and her grandmother would inevitably agree.

Even if my grandmother doesn't agree, my father still has it. After this incident, the father will also feel indebted to their siblings, and this guilt is the best point for them to take advantage of.

Thinking of this, Qin Hongmiao's previous resentment and panic dissipated a lot, and when she looked at Qin Huailuo, she felt a little strange.

Because the boys of the Qin family moved to the outer courtyard when they were young, they didn't see each other much on ordinary times. Originally, what she saw was just a well-behaved and cute little boy, even if he was taciturn, he was still a normal child.

But today, she realized that maybe she had never really known this younger brother.

......

After leaving Qin Huailuo, Qin Hongmiao seemed to have a backbone, she carefully thought about it for two days, and finally listened to Qin Huailuo's words and went to find Old Madam Qin.

"You're going to the draft?"

After listening to Qin Hongmiao's words, Old Madam Qin's first reaction was to be taken aback. This girl looks silent on weekdays, and she thought she was an unassertive person, who knows where she has no opinions, and she clearly has big ideas.
