When she returned to Fuxi Courtyard, the first thing Qin Yunuan did was to go to Baochuan's room to see Qin Baochuan, but who expected Liao's mother to stay at the door, seeing Qin Yunuan coming, and said softly: "The second young master hasn't woken up yet, I guess I was really sleepy last night." ”

The corners of Qin Yunuan's mouth lifted slightly, and he pushed open the door and went in, and a cold wind poured into the room, but Qin Baochuan on the bed was still buried in the quilt and did not move.

Qin Yunuan moved a pestle and sat on the side of Qin Baochuan's bed, her face as calm as a bend of spring water.

"You should have slept enough from last night to this morning." Qin Yunuan knocked on the edge of the bed and continued, "You are not a snooze child, let's talk about it, why are you pretending to sleep in front of your father?" ”

The quilt moved slightly, but Qin Baochuan inside still didn't make a sound, and after a while, he saw a small head poking out of the quilt and whispered, "Father? I don't want a father like that. ”

Qin Yunuan hurriedly covered Qin Baochuan's mouth and said, "The wall has ears, you are too careless." ”

Qin Baochuan's eyes were red, and he pulled Qin Yunuan's sleeve and said: "My father has been reluctant to visit us for so many years, and I went to see him, and he didn't want to see me, but today, he can be angry for an aunt, so important, sister, you say, what are we?" ”

"So you deliberately pretended to be asleep in Liao's mother's arms, just because you didn't want to face your father?" Qin Baochuan in his previous life was cowardly and timid, Qin Yunuan thought that Qin Baochuan in this life could be brave and calm, but he didn't expect that Qin Zhen's neglect of Qin Baochuan for so many years had left a shadow in his young heart.

Qin Baochuan choked back the tears that were about to fall, nodded, and subconsciously put his head in Qin Yunuan's arms, which was an action he would do every time he was afraid.

Can't let Baochuan go on like this anymore, Qin Yunuan helped Qin Baochuan up from his arms, and said seriously: "You think so, that's right, your father ignored you, you don't want to see your father, I can understand, but what will others think?" Others will think that the second young master of the Qin family is incompetent and cowardly, and he can sleep so sweetly during the fire, and he doesn't care about the safety of his father and mother, which is unfilial piety. ”

Qin Baochuan was shocked, he had never thought of it so complicated, and a layer of deep thought appeared on his round little face.

Qin Yunuan sighed and said: "You are a sensible child, you can carry it over when you learn to write and take cold showers in the sand, why can't you resist such a trivial matter?" Baochuan, you forgot that you said that you can also protect your sister in the future, so, be strong, be brave, and don't run away anymore, understand? ”

Qin Baochuan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and said firmly: "Sister, Baochuan is wrong, Baochuan will never run away in the future, my father doesn't like Baochuan because I heard the rumors outside, as long as Baochuan works hard enough, Baochuan will definitely be able to change my father's opinion." ”

Baochuan is still simple, Qin Yunuan touched Baochuan's soft forehead, he might never have thought that Qin Zhen's rejection of him was not just a rumor, but at this stage, as long as Baochuan remembered this, it would be the best for him.

The sister and brother only talked for a while, and Liao's mother knocked on the door outside: "Third girl, Aunt Chang and Young Master Cousin are here." ”

To appease Qin Baochuan's emotions, Qin Yunuan at this time was really tired, and he had not slept all night, coupled with the tense preparations and planning during the day yesterday, his body seemed to be about to fall apart, but when he heard the news of Aunt Chang and Su Chenghai, Qin Yunuan was in good spirits again.

In the side hall, Man'er Tong'er had already given tea to Aunt Chang and Su Chenghai, it was a new ordinary silver needle, although it was not expensive, it was much better than the old tea dregs that Qin Yunuan drank in the dilapidated courtyard.

Qin Yunuan changed into a plain and elegant blue lake-colored lotus sleeve jacket, combed her long hair casually, and simply pulled a fallen ponytail, as soon as she entered the door, Aunt Chang couldn't help but stand up, greeted her and said, "I thought you had fallen asleep, but the matter was urgent, I really couldn't help but come to you." ”

Qin Yunuan smiled and said, "You and I help each other, what are you doing with such polite words," Yu Guang swept to Su Chenghai, who was sitting on the side, and also saluted, "Today's matter is still thanks to my cousin." ”

Su Chenghai raised his hand undeniably and said, "It's just a matter of raising your hands." ”

It was also a sleepless night, but Su Chenghai still looked energetic, his eyebrows were focused, his slender arms were naturally placed on his knees, and his purple sleeves were propped up, but his face was a little pale, with some weakness after fading blood.

Aunt Chang held her chest as if she was dying, and said: "Speaking of today's events, it is really thanks to the foresight of the third girl, if it wasn't for the third girl's guess of the Dou family's conspiracy, I'm afraid that it would be me and Sister Liu who are sticking today." ”

Qin Yunuan sat down with Aunt Chang and said: "She Dou Qing'e wants to kill three birds with one stone, and use Mama Qiao, who is in charge of purchasing, and her subordinates to put the inferior charcoal in the house of her father and Aunt Li, and also mix the charcoal with white phosphorus. Regardless of success or not, Mama Qiao will not continue to stay in the Qin family. ”

Aunt Chang squeezed the embroidered handkerchief in her hand: "She is really ruthless." "Aunt Chang has always been praised by Qin for keeping her duty, but in fact, it's not that she can't fight, she just doesn't want to fight, but this time, it was the Dou clan who bullied her, even if it wasn't for herself, for Baoduan, she had to fight for that time.

"She thought that the account room was on fire because God helped her, burned all the fake accounts she made, and gave her a chance to show off," Qin Yunuan snorted coldly, "As everyone knows, she can set fire to the Begonia Courtyard, why can't we set fire to the account room, Aunt Chang, you have collected all the account books we transferred, one day, we will use these account books to expose how she Dou Qing'e only looted people in the Qin family, and even lent money outside for profit." ”

Aunt Chang is different from Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu became an aunt from climbing the bed from a maid, so she can only call herself a "slave" in front of Qin Qian, and Aunt Chang is from a merchant family, the family is not rich and noble, it is also considered to be solid, and she has studied for a few years, but in today's world, there is a difference between officials and businessmen, and her father also wants to tie up an official family, so he wronged his daughter and entered the Qin family as a concubine, so it is most appropriate to let Aunt Chang take care of these account books.

"Third girl, the urgent matter I just said is related to this account book," Aunt Chang lowered her voice and leaned closer to Qin Yunuan's ear and said, "When I was a girl, I learned to settle accounts with my father for a few years, and when I looked closely, I found that there were indeed cats in these accounts, and there were a lot of them, but what surprised me even more was ......" Aunt Chang took out a note from her arms as she spoke, and wrote the words "Pudu Temple" in a dignified manner.

Qin Yunuan was a little puzzled: "Could it be that Dou Qing'e has something to do with this Pudu Temple?"

"That's right," Aunt Chang continued, "I found out in the ledger that every year the Dou family would allocate a large sum of silver to make sesame oil money for a temple. ”

"And the host of that temple has been secretly detained by General Leng Changxi Leng, the reason is that he has a private deal with a killer organization in Eastern Qin." Su Chenghai said with a frown.

Qin Yunuan let out a long sigh, her heart seemed to be empty and relaxed, and she was suddenly pressed against a heavy stone, what she encountered in this life was much more complicated and darker than in her previous life, but she also knew that once she embarked on this path, she had no room to turn back.

"So, it is very likely that Dou Qing'e has raised a group of top masters in private, and she can kill her at any time?" Qin Yu spit out this sentence faintly, if this was the case, Dou Qing'e was far more terrifying than she imagined.

"Not necessarily her own," Su Chenghai seemed to be very clear about this aspect, even more than he was at the business of trafficking, "The four major families in Jiangnan have been able to stand for so many years, and they all have their own forces, such as the Cui family relies on the money villages all over the Great Qi, the Shen family relies on hereditary titles and peaceful exploits, the Shangguan family has the Great Qi national treasure Mr. Shangguan Yi in charge, and the Dou family, although it has been an official for generations, has not had a big official for several generations, and it is not surprising if it is an assassin master who is raised by the family." ”

Qin Yunuan couldn't help but gasp, she looked at Su Chenghai calmly, and felt that this person's city was simply unfathomable, usually he didn't say much, but in fact, he knew more than anyone else, he was like a black hole with infinite power, he would always only absorb, and he would never reveal himself like today.

"Cousin?" Qin Yunuan used a question sentence that raised his pitch.

Su Chenghai rolled his eyes leisurely, but intentionally or unintentionally avoided Qin Yunuan's addictive pupils, how many times had he tried to restrain his feelings, but it seemed that every time, it was in vain.

"You just mentioned General Leng Changxi Leng?"

Su Chenghai's body moved imperceptibly, his expression showed a trace of indifference, his eyes that seemed to be groaning flashed with a hint of light, but they dimmed instantly, "What? He spoke.

"It's nothing," Qin Yunuan smiled, "It's just that I've never heard my cousin mention General Leng, and at first glance, when I heard my cousin directly call General Leng by his name, it seems to be very familiar." ”

"Oh, we've met a few times." Su Chenghai didn't want to hide it.

Qin Baoduan was also left in the courtyard by Aunt Chang, Aunt Chang was really not at ease, she didn't say anything for a long time, she said goodbye, and only told Qin Yunuan to be more careful, thinking that there might be countless top masters behind Dou Qing'e to do things for her, Aunt Chang felt that her backbone was cold.
