When Qin Yining returned to the Hou Mansion, the door of the house was not as closed as usual, the main door was half open, and the door was squatting beside the stone lion at the door with a sad face, and he was dejected and shrunk into a quail.

And beside him, there were two men dressed in the Cao family's guards, one left and one right, guarding the door with cold faces, as if this was not the Qin family, but his Cao family.

Qin Yining's heart jumped, only feeling that something was wrong, and his brows furrowed tightly.

What kind of moth is the Cao family making trouble?

The shopkeeper of Zhong Da also saw that the situation of the Qin family was unusual, and hurriedly instructed the driver: "Keep walking, don't stop yet." ”

The husband was the confidant of the shopkeeper of Zhongda, and he also knew a little about the dispute between the Qin family and the Cao family, so he didn't dare to stay when he saw this, and hurriedly turned around and turned into the alley on the side. I found a secluded place before I stopped.

"The owner, there is something going on in the house, don't rush back first, let the people around you go in to see the situation first."

Jiyun said: "Girl, don't worry, just wait here now, I'll go back quietly and take a look, don't alarm anyone, and give you news later." ”

"You have to be careful." Qin Yining took Jiyun's hand uneasily, "It's important to pay attention to your own safety." I don't know what the situation is in the house now, if you think that there are many people on the other side, or the situation is not right, don't take risks, there is always another way. ”

Jiyun nodded with some emotion. Qin Yining would never disregard the lives of the people around him in order to achieve his own goals. If she used to have only one master in her heart, and she only admired Qin Yining, but now she has regarded her as a hostess.

"Girl, don't worry, my light body skills are good, I don't go head-to-head with people, it should be easy to listen to the news. I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

Jiyun smiled at Qin Yining soothingly, jumped out of the carriage, and went in the direction of the Hou Mansion.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, the alley was silent, and the shopkeeper Zhong did not allow the master to light the lamp. It was dark in the carriage, and Bingtang grabbed Qin Yining's hand comfortingly, and said in a low voice: "Girl, don't worry, it's okay." ”

"Hmm. It's okay, let's wait and see. ”

Having said that, Qin Yining's tone was calm, but she was unsettled at this time.

In that short period of time, she had already conceived many possibilities in her heart, and after her father was reprimanded and ordered by the emperor to think about it, she kept her door closed, refusing all guests to come and go, and only took care of her own reading and fishing, as if she was no longer an official of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Although Qin Huaiyuan didn't say it, Qin Yining, who was always by Qin Huaiyuan's side, knew that the depression and depression in Qin Huaiyuan's heart were something that no one could comprehend.

He is full of talent and strategy, but he secretly invests in the pearl. She knew that Qin Huaiyuan would often be torn apart by loyalty and ambition.

If he only wanted to be prosperous and prosperous, he would have 10,000 ways to stabilize his position.

But Qin Huaiyuan's ambition is that the world is peaceful, the people live in peace, and the ability of the faint monarch will never let Qin Huaiyuan display his ambitions. The faint king will only use his officials as his own tools to stabilize the solidity of his rule, and then do whatever he wants with a shy face, and exploit his people in the name of the king. will only enjoy, and will be mediocre and immoral.

Just like now, in order to be in a corner of the city and ensure his face, the faint king actually left the 350,000 troops outside the city alone, and hesitated on the choice of the commander of the seal, but he had the heart to get up with a person who had long known that it was not a good thing, and contacted the Tatars to help.

The Tatars are far away from the mountains, and when the group of cavalry crosses the mountains and mountains to fight the Great Zhou, not to mention whether the Great Zhou will suffer from the enemy, I think that the Great Yan Dynasty will have to be taken by Xiao Zhixi a long time ago.

This is called Qin Yining, a boudoir woman, who thinks it is ridiculous and hateful.

What's more, Qin Huaiyuan?

She believed that what she could figure out, her father must have already consulted the emperor.

But now the result is that Qin Huaiyuan was ordered to think about it.

Qin Yining knew that Qin Huaiyuan no longer had any expectations for the faint monarch, and it could even be said that his heart was like ashes.

A loyal minister who has a heart like ashes, has no intention of fighting anymore, just wants to fish and read quietly at home, and waits for the country to live and die, and even loses his official position, let alone has no real power, what can hinder the Cao family?

Qin Yining's mind was turning, Bei Yan couldn't help but bite his lower lip, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air for a while.

"Indeed, people are good and are deceived by others, and my father's mind of being in a corner of peace is so obvious, but the enemy will not believe it, let alone be considerate, and will only take advantage of our weakness to step on it. So what I've always thought about is, if there is a way, you must make yourself stronger, so that you can have hard capital, otherwise you can only make people step on your face. ”

"That's what the owner said." The shopkeeper Zhong nodded with deep understanding, and sighed: "Don't worry too much about the owner, the prestige of the Hou Ye is still there, and the Cao family will not be able to do anything if they want to come." ”

Qin Yining could only comfort himself like this for the time being.

But in the end, I was still flustered, and my palms were in a cold sweat on the hot weather.

After a while, Jiyun returned.

"Girl, I sneaked into the house quietly, and found that Cao Guozhang took people to talk to the Hou Ye and the second master in the study of the outer courtyard, and the inner house was fine, but the old lady was frightened, the eldest lady and the second lady were all waiting on the side, and the courtyard of the study in the outer courtyard was surrounded by people, I didn't dare to alarm these people, I didn't dare to get close to listen carefully, so I hurriedly came to tell the girl, but according to me, there is no big problem in the house for the time being, maybe Cao Guozhang wants to find the Hou Ye something."

Qin Yining quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

As long as Cao Guozhang didn't take someone to raid the house, it would be fine. If Cao Guozhang really has the courage to do that, it means that the emperor is going to attack their family.

"What are you going to do now, boss?"

Qin Yining said: "I'll go back to the house now." If anyone asks, they will say that I have gone to Ningyuan to visit a few sick homeless. You asked me to arrange this matter. We must not expose Xiao Zhixi's whereabouts today. ”

"Yes, don't worry."

Qin Yining instructed the shopkeeper Zhongda, and then took Jiyun and rock candy back to the house by car.

The guards of the Cao family in front of the mansion just glanced at Qin Yining a few more times and did not stop them.

Qin Yining followed his usual habits, and went straight through the Yimen to go to the second gate.

Before I knew it, I turned a corner, and I heard a sound of footsteps behind me, and a low and loud voice said coldly: "...... In the end, the things on the household department used to be done by you, although the years are far away, but you have the ability to be greedy for ink, can you be sure that no one knows? Qin Meng, don't think that what you have done is not leaky, since the old man can come and ask your head, it is to know that you have taken the lead in leading your second brother to do the thing of greedy ink! These days are so good for you to reminisce and reminisce! The emperor treats you well, don't make a mistake in calculating the account, make mistakes again and again! ”
