Chapter Twenty-Six: Gaomen's Dirty Affair Broke Overnight
Qin Abai has always thought of himself as An Xi's best friend, and often talked about An Xi as a guest at the General's Mansion and went to show off among the group of noble ladies. Indeed, although the flower-like ladies say that they hate Anxi's flamboyant and domineering style, they all envy Anxi's life in their hearts, and being able to play with Anxi in this circle can indeed be regarded as a capital to show off.
Anxi also really likes this little girl, dare to act, there is a momentum in her temperament, the most important thing is that the old general raised her very innocently, although she speaks impulsively and loves to offend people, but it is true that she has not been contaminated by the world at all.
Therefore, the two of them can also be regarded as "Lang has a concubine intention", so they often like to get together and chat, and the number of meetings has increased dramatically after An Xi was injured and bedridden, and Qin Abai is almost resident in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Everyone is very satisfied with this situation, Prime Minister An and his wife are very happy that their daughter with an unpleasant personality finally has a close friend in the boudoir, the old general is very happy to have a relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Qin Gongzi is very happy to have more contact with An Xi by picking up his sister.
Only Yu Yi'an was not very happy, since Qin Abai was stationed in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he lost a lot of opportunities to be alone with An Xi.
An Xi didn't care about his stinky face, and still got along with Qin A day and night.
Besides, this Ming Peili does have amazing medical skills, An Rui, who has been sentenced by the imperial doctor to no longer walk, can already walk slowly with his hands on the railing under Ming Peili's treatment, although it is still lame, but it is much better than the originally expected situation.
Because Ming Peili always went in and out of the Prime Minister's Mansion to treat An Rui, Prime Minister An gradually became familiar with his daughter's talented friend, coupled with his gratitude for treating his son, and he directly assigned a permanent guest room to Ming Peili in the backyard.
And Ming Peili, who has been going back and forth with some nonsense, has become good friends with her arrogant aunt and grandmother Qin Abai, and the two of them always like to gather in Anxi's yard to eat lamb skewers together when they have nothing to do.
Today is the case again, An Xi has a heart and reports Yu Yi'an in advance, lest he turn around and go crazy, but as soon as Yu Yi'an heard that Qin Abai was also present, he was relieved and went to deal with government affairs.
He is still quite busy, unlike himself, an idler who has nothing to do, and can often meet with two other idlers who have nothing to do, and think about it while eating.
An Xi held a large plate of mutton skewers, greedily sniffed the seductive aroma, and picked out a meat skewer with the most meat and the most attractive appearance, pinched it with his thumb and index finger together, and as soon as the first bite of meat fell into his mouth, An Xi was shocked by a sharp scream, and the iron skewer left an obvious red mark on the corner of his mouth.
Looking up to find the source of the sound, it turned out to be Qin Abai, who volunteered to grill skewers in the distance, was startled by the charcoal fire that suddenly collapsed, An Xi put down the plate and planned to go over to see the situation, who would have thought that as soon as he took a step, he saw Ming Peili rushing out all of a sudden, and the fast An Xi felt as if he had seen an afterimage.
sat back on the small stool that Anrui had set up improvised - I have to say that Anrui is really talented in this area.
Ming Peili nervously tugged at Qin Abai's shirt and turned around to see if she was injured, and the always arrogant Qin Abai actually showed a shy expression under Ming Peili's gentle attack.
Love is really something that makes people lose their minds.
An Xi threw the used iron skewer into the bucket of water prepared on the side, and the gradual splash startled An Rui, who was seriously gnawing on roasted corn.
Seven or eight people, including the girls, ate and drank all afternoon, and when it was just dark, Anxi sent Qin Abai to the side gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion as the host, and found that it was the old general who came to pick up his daughter in person today.
Seeing this, Qin Abai suddenly reined in the posture of showing his teeth and claws in the Prime Minister's Mansion just now, slowly stepped down the steps, and stood beside his father very gently and quietly. The old general, who had some gray hair on his sideburns, stared at his daughter lovingly, and there was tenderness in his eyes that could not be hidden.
An Xi obediently gave General Qin a salute, and the latter's eyes really burst out with satisfaction, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with his choice of daughter-in-law.
An Ximu sent the father and daughter away, turned around and pouted and was about to go to the house, she really didn't like this old general very much, maybe her aura didn't match well. When he looked up, he found that Ming Peili looked at the figure of the old general and Qin Abai who disappeared around the corner with a puzzled expression, and his expression was even a little... Abhor?
How? Where did Qin Abai's father provoke Ming Peili? It stands to reason that the two of them shouldn't know each other?
"What's wrong?"
Ming Peili just tilted his head when he heard An Xi's question, his eyes did not leave the path where Qin Abai had gone, his eyes became heavier, "Do you think... General Qin looked at Ah Bai's appearance... Not quite normal?"
An Xi turned her head violently, and also looked at the direction where Ah Bai and the old general were gone, and Ming Peili's words reminded her.
When she saw General Qin for the first time, she felt that the other party was very kind and gentle, with a bold temperament unique to a person who practiced martial arts, but when Qin Abai walked to his side, she suddenly felt that she didn't like this elder. An Xi still felt that it was not in line with the aura of the old general.
Here's the problem! General Qin's eyes when he looked at her just now were love for his back, maybe because of the marriage, mixed with some calculations, but the look he looked at Qin Abai... It's not like I'm looking at juniors... It's like ......
It's like Yu Yi'an's eyes when he looks at her!
An Xi's scalp was numb when he was shocked by this cognition, and he glanced at Ming Peili as if asking for help, but saw that the latter also had a heavy face.
Then, Qin Abai's sudden change after seeing the old general, did it belong to a message to them? A message for help?
"We... Catch up and see?" An Xi asked Ming Peili tentatively, and Ming Peili rushed out like a rocket as if waiting for this signal. An Xi instructed Xiaobei to inform Yu Yi'an to come to support, and she always had an ominous premonition.
In the end, the two returned in vain, and even the door of the general's mansion did not enter, the porter only said that Mrs. took the young lady to the Qinghui Temple on the outskirts of the city, and on the way back to the house, they also met Yu Yi'an and Kufu and Xiaobei, who rushed to hear the news, and did not wait for Yu Yi'an to ask An Xi and the plate to come out, for a while, four pairs of eyes stared at Yu Yi'an in unison, hoping that he would give a feasible plan.
Yu Yi'an sorted out An Xi's chaotic words, and quickly grasped the point, "You said that you just followed up with your front foot, and the porter on your back foot said that the general's wife took Qin Abai out to make a wish?"
After getting An Xi's nod, Yu Yi'an frowned, obviously thinking of some bad things.
"What's wrong?" Ming Peili asked with a trembling voice.
Yu Yi looked at him calmly, "... Heard... The general likes young women, and almost all the concubines in the palace are only thirteen or fourteen years old, and..."
"And what! Say it quickly!" Ming Peili shook Yu Yi'an's collar in a panic, as if he had forgotten Li's fear of him on weekdays, and to An Xi's surprise, the black-faced Wang Yu Yi'an didn't directly throw Ming Peili to the ground.
This shows that the matter must be serious.
"Say it." After stabilizing his mind, An Xi spoke.
"Everyone in the court knows that Qin Abai is not General Qin's biological daughter, but was raised on the battlefield. And the general's wife, Xu..."
"The jealous woman of the capital." An Xi took over the conversation, the sprinkler sweeper in her yard likes to gather in a pile to talk about the gossip of the noble lady in Beijing when she has nothing to do, and the most frequent mention is precisely this Mrs. Xu, today Mrs. Xu sold this concubine, and tomorrow Mrs. Xu killed that concubine.
Qin Abai's situation is worrying.
The group sat in the Frost Immortal Pavilion and waited for the news, Ming Peili burst into tears after listening to An Xi and Yu Yi'an's words, and was about to look for Qin Abai with red eyes, but was stopped by An Xi yelling, explaining to him that Yu Yi'an's men were numerous and all of them were elite, and they all went out to find Qin Abai, and they would definitely be able to find Qin Abai soon, and he would just add to the chaos.
Only then did Ming Peili come to the Frost Immortal Pavilion with them.
Time passed minute by minute, and several people sat around the round table anxiously, and the watch had passed three times, but they never got the news they wanted.
The time of the two pillars of incense passed, and Ming Peili looked more and more irritable, but the news was still disappointing.
It was already dawning, and the sound of the gongs of the husband on the street for the fourth time signaled that Bai had been missing for a longer time.
「.... Strange, shouldn't the husband be called a change all the time? Why did I just strike the gong once, and there is no sound until now." Xiaobei whispered to Kufu.
was originally an ordinary sentence, but it made An Xi ring the alarm, and after looking at Yu Yi'an and Ming Peili who stood up together, she became more and more sure of what she thought in her heart.
The group all had martial arts, and they went directly down from the window on the third floor of the Frost Immortal Pavilion and ran through the streets. Just after a small alley, he found the figure of the husband, who was crouching on the ground and checking on a woman.
An Xi and Ming Peili recognized Qin Abai from the corner of their green clothes, and hurriedly led everyone forward.
Getting closer and closer to Qin Abai, An Xi is getting more and more afraid... I'm afraid that what I see is not the living Qin Abai.
What caught his eye was indeed Qin Abai, but the green dress was torn to tatters, and Ah Bai's body was staggered with kiss marks and whip marks of different shades, which looked strange and beautiful on the snow-white body.
An Xi looked at the little girl who was still jumping and laughing wildly yesterday and became like this overnight, not knowing whether she was dead or alive, her hands were swinging weakly, as if all the sounds were stuck in her throat and couldn't come out. Yu Yi'an untied his cloak and handed it to An Xi, motioning for her to go and put it on Qin Abai.
Ming Peili knelt on the ground as if his soul had been drained of his soul at the moment when he saw Qin Abai's tragic condition, and her tears were like beads with broken threads, hitting the ground that was slightly frosted in the early morning, forming beautiful little flowers.
