With his brother's words, Yingzhi was relieved, Zhu Rong sent someone to send his sister back to the garden, and was about to find Zhengming to send him to the school to inquire about his brother's homework, but saw him come with Kaijiang.

Kaijiang stood on the side and listened to Zhu Rong's instructions, and after Zhengming left, he asked, "What, someone bullied Ping Jue." ”

Zhu Rong frowned: "I haven't thought of this yet, but it's just that the homework is too difficult, and he can't keep up." ”

Kaijiang said: "Ping Jue has been studying with Master Yan for so long, and he just did his homework in the school before going to Kizhou, how can he not keep up?" These children of the family have a lot of eyes, don't forget, now your father is no longer Grandpa Zhu, and he is still raised by his aunt. We used to be in the academy, and there were a lot of such things, but you and I were domineering, and no one dared to bully. ”

Zhu Rong said in a deep voice: "Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention." ”

Kaijiang said: "What you want me to inquire about, there is a result, guess who did it?" ”

Zhu Rong asked, "People from the Qin family?" ”

Kaijiang smiled: "Qin Hao, good brother of Pingli, you said this, does Pingli have a share?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "He is not in the capital, and he has nothing to do with him." ”

Kaijiang said: "I only found out that Qin Hao appeared in the east of the city in a carriage last night, and I haven't found out where he hid people for the time being, but I think that their brothers must have a stronghold, and once they come back, they must know where they are." ”

Zhu Rong bowed: "Why does the eldest sister have to send support to see the eldest lady, I also understand." ”

Kaijiang didn't understand: "What do you mean?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "It should be deliberately to let Pingli avoid suspicion, she still has her purpose in this matter." You don't have to look any further, so don't get suspicious at this point. ”

Kaijiang muttered: "God is chattering, okay, I should avoid suspicion of the matter of harmony, but in Pingjue's matter, if there is trouble, don't be polite to me, I want to see who dares to bully Pingjue." ”

Zhu Rong smiled and said: "There is one more thing, you have to help, spread the news in the city tomorrow, saying that Qin Ying resisted the decree and escaped from marriage." ”

Kaijiang didn't understand: "Why bother, it will harm the girl's reputation." ”

Zhu Rong said: "No, you wait and see." ”

In this way, early the next morning, Taiwei Qin, who could no longer pretend to be sick, was changing into court clothes and preparing to go to court, when his subordinates hurriedly ran to tell him that the news came from outside the mansion that their young lady ran away from home overnight in order to resist marriage and discord.

Qin Taiwei slapped the table angrily and scolded angrily: "Whoever spreads it out, catch it out and beat it to death." ”

However, not only were the rumors not contained, but they also evolved into a rumor that neither Zhu Rong nor Kaijiang could control spread throughout the capital, and even such unbearable words as Miss Qin's fornication with others.

But when Captain Qin went to the court to discuss politics, the emperor didn't say a word, but the curious and suspicious eyes of his colleagues made him very impatient.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, several close friends came to inquire, and Qin Taiwei was perfunctory in a bad way, and then met a few Zhu Rong brothers, so he asked angrily: "But the gossip from your mansion?" ”

Ping Luo calmly responded: "Lord Taiwei, this is a matter of humiliating the dignity of the queen's mother, if it is spread out, what good will it do to the queen's mother and the contempt house?" The top priority is to find the shadow sister and block the mouth of Youyou, which is the best policy. ”

Qin Taiwei thought about it carefully, this is indeed the truth, this incident happened, not only the Taiwei Mansion was embarrassed, but the queen was even more embarrassed, and the people of the Zhu family did not need to do this.

But seeing the old lady brushing his sleeves away, Ping Luo called out to his younger brother: "Rong'er, what did you do?" ”

Zhu Rong hurriedly said: "I don't know anything. ”

Ping Luo glared at his younger brother: "Kaijiang hasn't been home for a few days, and suddenly you run so diligently, are you learning martial arts or learning?" ”

Zhu Rong didn't know if his younger brothers trembled when they were lectured by himself, and he tried to steady: "Brother, I really don't know about this matter." It's not that Fu Yi is not at home, Kaijiang just came to me, and he is embarrassed to come inconvenient on weekdays. ”

"Don't mess around, don't lose your senses." Ping Luo said, "You have to understand, once you do this, you are fighting with the queen's mother, fighting with other people's girls, fighting with your own eldest sister, can you do it?" ”

"Yes, I know." Zhu Rong agreed, but was relieved to see that his brother didn't ask again.

Ping Luo walked a few steps, stopped again, and asked: "I heard Pingrui say in the morning, Jue'er is not good-looking, he studies too hard, don't be tired, you are not at home these days, you take the time to care more about Pingjue, the Qin family's affairs, don't mix things blindly." ”

Zhu Rong hurriedly said: "I have already sent someone to inquire, if I can't keep up with my homework, we will discuss it again." ”

As he was talking, he saw five or six people coming to the inner chamberlain of the middle palace, looking for someone to pass on the queen's decree, and there was a tea party in the imperial garden this afternoon, inviting the ladies of the various mansions to enter the palace to enjoy the flowers.

Because Yongluo's envoys came to ask for peace this time, they brought their female dependents and female officials, and they were also invited.

However, the most solemn treatment was none other than the Qin Mansion, and the queen actually sent someone to pick up people directly from the Taiwei Mansion in a princess-sized sedan chair.

Clear-eyed people know that this is for the sake of harmony, so that the granddaughter of the Qin family can get acquainted with each other with the Yongluo envoys.

Although they are not in a hurry to marry now, those envoys should have an explanation when they return to Yongluo, remember their character and appearance, so as not to drop the bag halfway, and the queen took the initiative to express her affinity, which is also good for alleviating the strength of Daqi's reluctance to marry the princess.

However, now everyone knows that the little granddaughter of the Qin family is missing.

In the middle of the day, outside the gate of the Taiwei Mansion, the gorgeous sedan chair and the accompanying palace maids stood in a long column, and they had been waiting for a long time.

The chief attendant came to the door again and asked: "Why hasn't Miss Qin come out yet, the queen is waiting, it's so disrespectful." ”

The housekeeper said repeatedly: "Come on, come here, father-in-law, you might as well have a cup of tea inside." ”

The chamberlain said solemnly: "The queen hasn't drunk tea in the imperial garden yet, how can we be slaves first." You are tired, go and say goodbye, and don't dare to delay anymore. ”

The butler was sweating profusely, and after dealing with the chamberlain, he ran in in a panic all the way.

At the end of Taiwei Qin, the family gathered, and they couldn't discuss countermeasures, seeing that the housekeeper came to urge again, Mrs. Qin said helplessly: "I'll go, ask the queen mother for the guilt, this matter can't be hidden, you said that she is sick, she has to send someone to see, how to believe it without seeing her." It's better to borrow the power of the queen's mother and look for it all over the city, not to say that we lost it, but to teach the bandits to snatch it. ”

Since Mrs. Qin's daughter disappeared, her illness suddenly recovered, and when she heard her mother-in-law say this, she interjected: "Mother, this is not possible, it was said that it was snatched away by bandits, do we want our girl to be innocent?" Besides, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, where did the bandits come from. ”

Old Madam Qin was speechless for a while, it was true, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, where did the bandits come.

"Okay, you take your daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law first." Taiwei Qin instructed his wife, "Don't ruin the tea party of the queen's mother, just say that Ying'er is sick first, and it is not appropriate to go to the palace." You don't have to explain, when the tea party is over, I'll go to ask for sin, let's leave quickly, and delaying the hour is the real disrespect. ”

Everyone had no choice but to bite the bullet and embrace Mrs. Qin into the palace, to their surprise and nervousness, the queen mother actually believed it, and couldn't help but blame them for being late, and also cared about Qin Ying's body, and asked them to take the imperial doctor back with them when they left the palace.

The family of children and relatives survived the tea party restlessly, and the female officials and envoys of the Yongluo Kingdom also came to greet them, but because of the language barrier, they needed someone to convey it, and the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law of the Qin Mansion did not know what they were talking to others.

After the tea party dispersed, not long after Hanzhi returned to the middle palace, the chamberlain came in with a message, saying that it was Qin Taiwei who asked to see him.

Han Yi smiled: "Taiwei Qin is old, and he is still hot and impulsive, and he is in such a hurry." Go ahead, just say that I am not feeling well, and if there is no urgency, please see you tomorrow. ”

The word "urgent" is simple to say, but it is not easy to handle, and Taiwei Qin doesn't know if his matter is urgent, but their girl did not appear at the tea party, and rejected the face of the queen who sent a sedan chair to greet her, and there is no need to make any supplementary explanations, the person must be gone.

So soon, the topic around Qin Ying's disappearance evolved into a contradiction between the two countries, after all, the emperor refused to take his sister and relatives first, and then the chosen person openly ran away from marriage to resist the decree, and did not take the Yongluo Kingdom in his eyes before and after, recalling the war that ended not long ago, even the irrelevant people were worried, blaming the Taiwei Mansion for breaking a big deal.

Qin Taiwei didn't sleep all night, all the people who could be sent out by the family were sent, no one was alive or dead, no corpse was seen, the little granddaughter was stunned and there was no trace, he waited for the dawn, calculated the time to enter the palace to meet the emperor, and explain this matter clearly.

And early in the morning, Zhu Rong got up early, and after getting dressed, he went to the garden.

Ping Jue was in the bedroom, sleeping soundly, Zhu Rong came into the door, saw that the pen, ink and paper on the desk were messy, and there were several books on the bedside, he picked them up casually, sat on the edge of the bed, and called: "Jue'er? ”

Ping Jue turned over and muttered sleepily: "I'll sleep a little longer, you go out ......"
