In fact, before a stick of incense, Qin Yunuan was indeed on the first floor of the capital and never came back. And Dou Qing'e sent Cui'e to pretend to have something to convey to Fuxi Courtyard, just to confirm that Qin Yunuan had not returned to the mansion.

Qin Yunuan smiled slightly: "I am indeed not in Fuxi Courtyard," Dou Qing'e's face immediately ignited with a hint of joy, and was suppressed by her without a trace, "At that time, I was in Aunt Chang's yard, or rather, I was in Aunt Chang's yard all day today. ”

Aunt Chang smiled and nodded: "That's right, Yu Nuan came early in the morning today, saying that she was discussing with me as a congratulatory gift for the second master's son." ”

Qin Chang, the second master of the Qin family, and Qin Zhen are siblings, but they split up early, relying on Qin Qin's status as a lieutenant to become a direct member of Dali Temple, his wife was born in a merchant family, and the family can be said to be wealthy, so it can be regarded as a prosperous family in the officialdom business, and because of this, this time Qin Chang finally got a son-in-law, and this congratulatory gift is also very important to the Taiwei Mansion.

How can it be! Dou Qing'e couldn't believe it, her shadow guard clearly told her......

"I have a witness!" Dou Qing'e shouted almost in a tone that bordered on screaming.

"What witness?" Qin Yunuan became more and more calm.

Dou Qing'e smiled contemptuously: "The person who proves that you don't abide by the family rules and leave the house without permission is the second Su Seventeen in the running hall on the first floor of the capital." ”

Qin Yunuan casually flicked the end of the tea, raised her eyes and said, "Yu Nuan has never heard of this person, Yu Nuan, I don't know him." ”

Dou Qing'e didn't care about Qin Qian, whose face was getting colder and colder, and she smiled: "It's okay if the third girl doesn't know him, he just knows the third girl." ”

"Master," Dou Qing'e said to Qin Qin in a demagogic tone, "As long as you have seen this Su Seventeen, you will know that the words of the concubine are true, the third girl, a daughter who has not left the pavilion, went out of the house privately, and moreover, she had a private meeting with a man on the first floor of the capital, master, this is only known to our own people now, but if it is spread out, this will not only be the reputation of the third girl alone, but it will implicate our entire Taiwei Mansion." ”

Once it rises to the reputation of the Taiwei Mansion, Qin Zhen will always pay special attention to it, and gradually, he looked at Qin Yunuan's eyes changed, with some suspicions, questioning, and as if he was going to strip people of a thorough sharpness.

"Bring someone up." Qin Zhen spoke.

Dou Qing'e's eyes lit up immediately, Qin Yunuan clearly felt the provocative eyes that fell on her, she raised her white neck, like a breeze sweeping, the corners of her lips moved slightly, as if she was saying the word "accompaniment", but what she could say was an extremely respectful sentence: "Since my mother has such doubts, Yunuan can also clarify for herself." ”

Su Qiqi was the second junior of the first floor of the store in the capital who poured tea for Qin Yunuan at noon, he was stout, five short figures, simple and thick, and knelt down honestly when he saw Qin Qian, and before Dou Qing'e and Qin Zhen began to ask, he shouted: "The grass people say, the grass people say everything, and I hope that the adults will forgive their sins." ”

"What are you yelling about before I ask you anything?" Dou Qing'e drank sharply.

"This little brother, don't be afraid," Qin Yunuan opened his mouth with a smile and said to Su Seventeen, "You just need to tell everyone loudly, what it looks like at three o'clock in the afternoon today, have you ever seen me go to the first floor of your capital?" ”

"It doesn't have to be this dress, this dress, you can see it clearly, you must speak honestly." Dou Qing'e added slowly.

Su Qiqi was stunned for a moment, and then he was honest again, and looked at Qin Yu Nuan carefully, extremely serious, as if he would not let go of even a single hair, and stared at it for a long time, even Qin Zhi was a little impatient, Su Qicai kowtowed to Qin Qian, and said loudly: "Back to my lord, the grass people have never seen this girl." ”

When Dou Qing'e heard this, she almost jumped to her feet, she tried to make herself look less eager: "You have to see clearly, this nose, this eyes, and this mouth, don't you have any impression at all?" ”

"Yes," Qin Yunuan smiled at Su Qiqi, "You really have to look carefully, maybe I was still veiled when I went, and then I claimed to have a rash, and I couldn't see anyone." ”

Su Seventeen raised his head, his eyes were firm and solemn, and he swore to Qin Qian: "I, Su Seventeen, never tell lies, I Su Seventeen have been working on the first floor of the capital for no less than ten years, and I will not forget if I recognize people, but I will not forget the guests at noon and at night, I Su Seventeen said that I have never seen this girl, that is, I have never seen this girl." ”

Su Qiqi wanted to say something more impassioned, but Qin Zhi waved his hand to interrupt his enthusiasm.

"Alright, let's go down." After Qin Zhi finished speaking, he leaned on the circle chair a little weakly, and his fingers accidentally knocked on the hot tea in his hand, dripping two droplets of warm water, and he had no intention of wiping it. "Are you satisfied?" This sentence was said to Dou Qing'e.

"Master......." Dou Qing'e dragged a long tone, her words were full of helplessness, she watched Su Seventeen stride out of the door, how could things become like this, she obviously gave Su Seventeen a bag of broken silver, and now this is ......

"Father," Qin Yunuan leaned forward, rested her hand on the coffee table, and said seriously, "Thinking about it, my mother was also in a hurry, and I recognized the wrong person, father, mother is also thinking about the family, and now, the most important thing is that Aunt Li's situation is not known." ”

knew that Qin Yunuan would not really speak for herself, going around and around, not to pull Li Mengming.

Qin Yunuan's abacus was very fine, she was identified by Dou Qing'e as leaving the house without permission, the evidence was insufficient, and she could only be regarded as a dazzled confession, but Li Mingming was pulled and thrown off the carriage, which happened in front of everyone's eyes, besides, Li Mingming's status in Qin Qian's mind is well known to everyone.

"Master, Imperial Doctor Zhang has come out." Steward Xie bowed his head and came in to salute and report.

Qin Zhen subconsciously stood up, who knew that Zhang Ruting had already arrived at the door the next moment, he was humble and modest, full of elegance and charm, even the little maid on the side couldn't help but look up a few more times.

"How?" Qin Zhi leaned out and asked eagerly.

"yes, how?" Qin Yunuan's words are elegant and good, but in Zhang Ruting's sound, it is so harsh, he can't stop his gaze at her, she can be so tranquil and pure on the surface, is her viciousness, her shamelessness only he knows? Can it be ......

Dou Qing'e was scolded just now, and she didn't dare to speak too loudly, she said softly: "Imperial Doctor Zhang must tell the truth." ”

Zhang Ruting took a deep breath, spit out a mouthful of helplessness, and arched his hand: "Lord Qin, Aunt Li's ankle is seriously injured and needs to be recuperated. With that, he just nodded slightly, and then brushed his sleeves away.

The wide snow-white sleeves danced like clouds in Qin Yunuan's eyes, she pursed her lips slightly, a little dry, if it was in her previous life, a fairy-like character like Zhang Ruting would definitely be a good match in her dreams, but unfortunately, she was already different in this life, let alone love, and now her relationship with Zhang Ruting, in addition to using and being used, maybe, there will be no other.

"Bang", Qin Zhen slapped his palm on the mahogany table on his right, he glared at Dou Qing'e angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "Now you can say, it was your people who stopped the carriage, it was your people who dragged Meng Meng off the carriage, and it was your people who caused her to fall, don't say that you have nothing to do with this matter." ”

Dou Qing'e's tone immediately softened: "Master, the concubine only thought that it was the third girl in the carriage at that time. ”

"You're still mentioning this?" What Fang just clarified, does she Dou Qing'e still want to use the topic to play? Although he said that he had neglected this concubine for many years, in the end she was also his Qin Qian's daughter, and she was said to have a private meeting with a man when she went out of the house without permission, and such an unclean behavior was not a slap in the face.

Dou Qing'e is now obedient, and no longer has a head-on conflict with Qin Zhi, she pinched the handkerchief hatefully and said: "It's just that the concubine body didn't teach the subordinates well, don't worry, the few maids who collided with Sister Li, the concubine body must not stay, first the family law, and then drive them all out of the house." ”

Qin Zhi snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that you haven't seen enough Buddhist scriptures recently." ”

Dou Qing'e's face froze, she was afraid that the old man would mean it, so she would let herself regain the power of the housekeeper and continue to burn incense and chant scriptures, she had enough of such bitter days, and she couldn't endure it for one more day.

"Father, I think my mother is just in a hurry, and the people below take the opportunity to curry favor, so they rush up to pick up the people in the car, and I can't blame my mother for this." Qin Yunuan actually opened her mouth to intercede for Dou Qing'e, Qin Zhen looked at Qin Yunuan's serious and sincere eyes, she didn't look like she was against her will, although this concubine was not as good as her two sisters, but she was also a kind-hearted person, thinking of the magical effect of the medicinal paste she had ground for herself last time, Qin Zhi suddenly had a good impression, in fact, he was not prepared to punish too much, after all, in this family, except for Dou Qing'e, for a while, there was no one who could take the lead alone.

"Okay, I'll go in and see Mingming, as for your ......." Qin Zhen looked at Dou Qing'e and said, "Go back and reflect on it, such a ridiculous thing as arresting people in front of the mansion, if there is a next time, I will not spare it." ”

After Qin Zhen left, Dou Qing'e's hanging heart slowly let go, she looked at Qin Yunuan vigilantly, she wouldn't believe that this little hoof would intercede for herself, she was willing to speak for herself, she must have a plan.

Qin Yunuan raised her head slightly, and smiled as pure as the first handful of snowflakes in winter, without the slightest impurity: "Mother, don't think too much, Yunuan doesn't have any ambitions, but if my mother really doesn't care about family affairs, Aunt Liu and Aunt Chang have little experience, I'm afraid that it will become more and more chaotic." ”
