Chapter Fifty-Six: Misfortune Doesn't Go Alone
"Could it be that this general is a work of the enemy's country? He went out for thirty years before he came back, what did he do in those thirty years? ”
After this question appeared, it gave everyone a new idea, but Cao Yingying shook her head, indicating that she could not answer the following questions.
"Is it because Madame is instructed by someone else to recognize each other?"
"Is it true that this general has offended His Majesty, so His Majesty doesn't want him to return to the court?"
Cao Yingying shook her head at several questions, as if everyone had not spied on the key to this problem, and Yan Biyu was also silent, not interested in this game at all.
It was Guandu, who neither asked questions nor participated, and the whole city looked at everyone with a smile, as if Luo Nanqing was not around, and his words were much less.
Qin Huai had no intention of participating in the game between these women, and seeing that everyone had entered a stalemate, he did not hesitate to ask.
"I'm afraid this lady already has an heir, right?"
Cao Yingying glanced at Qin Huai suspiciously, obviously not believing that she had guessed the key so quickly, but in order to continue the game, she still nodded.
In fact, the general is still a general, and the lady knows in her heart that this is her husband.
But many years ago, she had accepted others and even had children of her own. In order to prevent the chastity archway at home from falling to the ground, she decided to take her child as a righteous son to raise by her side. So she can't let the world know this secret, she can only not recognize her husband and bury this secret in her heart forever.
Because that's the only way she can protect her children. Don't let his life experience be scolded by the world.
Qin Huai quietly wrote the truth of this matter with his fingers in Yan Biyu's palm, and then left the banquet after signaling to everyone, letting Yan Biyu finish the story.
Away from the hustle and bustle of Huxin Pavilion, she still remembers the glance when she looked at Luo Nanqing, she always felt a little strange, that glance made her heart furious, and she didn't know what Luo Nanqing had to say to her.
"Have you seen Young Master Luo?"
She grabbed a servant who had been arranged on the table and asked, and the servant pointed into the distance, then shook his head and walked away.
Qin Huai didn't understand what this little guy meant, so he walked in that direction. Not long after walking, I saw Luo Nanqing sitting on a stone and watching him.
There were a few empty wine bottles scattered around him, his clothes were stained with these weeds, and his face was a little flushed, probably slightly drunk.
Qin Huai could guess why he behaved like this, and he was also out of good intentions, and was ready to persuade him.
"Why, after seeing the true face of Yan Makeup, I can't accept it for a while, so I borrow wine here to kill my sorrows?"
It was a word of admonition, but when Qin Huai said it, it became a stone, although she was annoyed, but the words had been spoken and there was no turnaround.
Luo Nanqing's gaze moved away from her face, and she snorted softly with the smell of wine.
"You don't know her at all, why should you make a decision!"
Hearing him say this, Qin Huai also became interested, most of the stories she saw when she was in the capital were stories of infatuated women with negative hearts, she wanted to hear what such a gentleman had fallen in love with, and why she had to do it.
"Do you know her? Do you know what kind of person she is? ”
This sentence seemed to hit Luo Nanqing's sore spot, he suddenly sat up straight, held the wine jug in his hand tightly and drank it all, and didn't care about his noble son's name, raised his hand and threw the wine jug, and reprimanded.
"What do you know, I have no guesses with her childhood sweetheart, what her character is, what she wants, of course I know. On the contrary, it's you, obviously a sister of the same clan, but you set up situations to target her everywhere, and you are waiting for her to drill! Bai Mingyue, don't you look down on her there, do you want her to be kicked out of the Yan family before you give up? ”
Qin Huai understood, rotten wood cannot be carved, this Luo Nanqing was washed out by beauty, and now he can't listen to what others say.
"You're saying I'm targeting her? It's clear that she is so ambitious, and she wants to climb the dragon and the phoenix, do you think she doesn't know your mind? It's a pity that you're not a prince, she doesn't look down on you at all! ”
After explaining in one go, Qin Huai felt that his state was quite ridiculous.
Luo Nanqing is just a drunkard at this moment, why should he bother with him like this.
But this sentence also angered Luo Nanqing, he stood up with difficulty holding on to the stone on the side, stared at Qin Huai angrily, and warned.
"Bai Mingyue! I advise you to be kind, if you frame your makeup in front of me again, don't blame me for being polite. ”
Seeing that he already had green tendons on his fist, he should be very annoyed, so Qin Huai thought about giving in and fooling this matter over.
"Whatever you think, but if you really like her, why don't you come to Yan's house to propose? Is it the fear of rejection, or the fear of facing the truth? ”
After putting down his words, Qin Huai took two steps back, there was no point in entangling with Luo Nanqing again, maybe he would pretend to be crazy while he was drunk, what if he wanted to make up for Yan Cheng.
"Wait, I beg you something......"
She had just reached the archway, and Luo Nanqing stopped where she was, calling her in a pleading tone.
Qin Huai stopped and didn't look back, let him talk about it.
"Please, don't embarrass her."
She thought it was a big deal, and that's it?
"Am I embarrassed for her? You are a strange person, she has to pay the price for doing something wrong, or else she has to follow the law and family rules. ”
Qin Huai completely gave up communicating with this person and left angrily, but she didn't hear the last words Luo Nanqing said after lowering her head.
"As long as that's what she wants...... That's right. ”
Qin Huai walked to the back garden in a trance, only to find that he seemed to have lost his way in Caofu, and he actually walked to a courtyard in a circle. She wanted to find someone to ask me where the front hall of the banquet was, but this place was inaccessible, and the bamboo leaves covered the sky, and I didn't find a single figure for half a day.
Seeing that the time is almost up, Cao Yingying's game should be over, and when the time comes, she will really be found, this trespassing in the backyard of the master's house is not a glamorous thing.
"You are Bai Mingyue, Miss Bai?"
Out of nowhere, someone came up and whispered behind her.
Qin Huai was startled, turned around, and saw a guy dressed as a small guy.
His appearance is ordinary and unremarkable, but his waist is very straight, and he doesn't look like a long-term waiter.
She didn't have any suspicions, just nodded, and asked patiently: "Exactly, does little brother know how to get to the main hall?" ”
thought that this little guy would give her a way, but as soon as she confirmed her identity, this little guy covered her mouth and dragged her for several steps.
What does that mean! This can't be a human trafficker! Qin Huai was held by him and couldn't break free, and he even forgot about struggling in a panic.
But how could human traffickers infiltrate the Cao Mansion of so many people and still be able to call her name?
Not good! It's a trap!
By the time Qin Huai reacted, it was already too late, she had already been dragged to the outside of a room with eyes, this place she hadn't passed by when she came all the way, and there was no one at all!
The little guy didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and after opening the door of the house, he pushed her in directly, Qin Huai didn't control his strength, and hit the table with a pain in his waist.
What exactly does this mean!
Finally recovering from the severe pain, Qin Huai turned around sharply and found a man with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks dressed in a black robe, sitting on the edge of the couch and looking her up and down.
The man was not dressed plainly, a jade pendant on his waist was worth at least a thousand gold, and the white jade walnut in his hand had betrayed his status as a distinguished guest.
Qin Huai stared at him, he was also very appreciative of Qin Huai's frightened look, suddenly licked his lips, and grinned at Qin Huai.
Could it be that this is Cao Yingying's lover?
Cao Yingying dared to hide her lover at home openly, and she was not afraid of being broken?
Qin Huai was thinking quickly about how to deal with it at this time, Cao Yingying and Yan Cheng became a nest of snakes and rats, this Cao Yingying wanted to pretend to be angry for Yan, so she would find a lover to scare herself, but she was not interested in other people's secrets, and just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
She struggled to stand up straight and walked directly towards the door, but the man who had been motionless suddenly got up, grabbed her wrist, and forcibly pulled her into his arms.
Qin Huai was startled and began to struggle, but the more he struggled, the tighter the man tugged on. She subconsciously wanted to call for help, but she thought that it was difficult for her to be in Cao Mansion, and she was probably surrounded by Cao Yingying's people, and calling for help was just a waste of energy.
"Who the hell are you? What do you want to do? This is Caofu! ”
At this time, Qin Huai could only warn about delaying time, hoping that Yan Biyu would realize that she was trapped earlier.
The man took a deep breath at Qin Huai's neck and said with a smile: "What about the Cao Mansion, as long as Young Master Ben wants to, they all have to turn a blind eye!" ”
"You are presumptuous, you know who I am! How dare you! ”
The man didn't seem to hear it, and still put his hands up and down, as if the more Qin Huai struggled, the more excited he became.
"It's really a beautiful stunner, although Cao Yingying's woman stinks, I didn't expect to have such a vision."
No, he is not Cao Yingying's lover, so who is he!
Suddenly realizing the seriousness of the problem, Qin Huai knew his intentions, and he couldn't let him succeed, she bit the man's arm, and the man suffered from pain, and she broke free in the gap.
She pulled away and threw herself in front of the table again, it was not easy to get out of here, she must deal with this person first!
When Qin Huai got up, he picked up the cup closest to him on the table, and smashed it at the man indiscriminately, the man kept approaching her while dodging, and in the face of such interference, he even had time to take off his coat.
Qin Huai swallowed nervously, and when he retreated, he hit the flower stand, and his hands couldn't stop groping back.
Seeing that the man was about to walk in front of her, she closed her eyes and touched a cold vase. She couldn't care so much, and slammed it hard at the man who was approaching.
"Bang-"
The vase shattered and fell to the ground in pieces, and blood was gushing from the man's forehead. Qin Huai was at a loss, and fell to the ground along him, only then did he also fall.
Just when she thought that the crisis was over, the door was knocked open, and she was afraid to hide under the table, only to find that it was Gu Baixiu when she looked up.
I don't know where the strength came from, she got up in a panic and threw herself into Gu Baixiu's arms, only in her arms, Qin Huai could feel a trace of safety.
