Qin Yining stood in front of Cao Yuqing's door, raised his hand lightly, and hesitated for a long time without falling.

This matter was originally her speculation and suspicion, and it made no sense to ask Cao Yuqing at this time.

Yes, Cao Yuqing has the motivation and the ability. But who said that if there is winter and ability, it must be her hand?

"Why don't you come in?"

At this moment, Cao Yuqing's hoarse voice came from behind the door.

With a creak, the grille door was pushed open, Cao Yuqing was dressed in plain white, wearing white silk flowers, standing in front of the door expressionlessly, looking at Qin Yining with a pair of charming eyes without warmth.

"Aunt Cao." Qin Yining was a little embarrassed, but Cao Yuqing was a smart person, and he couldn't be fooled casually.

Qin Yining followed Cao Yuqing's footsteps into the house, leaving all the maidservants outside the door, and then said in a low voice: "I heard that something happened to the Dai family. ”

Cao Yuqing put a cup of hot tea in Qin Yining's hand and calmly sat down opposite her.

"I did the work of the family."

Qin Yining looked at Cao Yuqin's slightly sorrowful eyebrows and sighed lightly, "Hmm." ”

Cao Yuqing was a little surprised.

Qin Yining came here, wasn't it to question her?

"Why don't you ask me? Why don't you scold me for being cold-blooded and ruthless? Cao Yuqing stared straight at Qin Yining, her red and swollen eyes were bloodshot again, and tears rolled in her eyes, "That person should die!" Those who slander Qin Meng behind their families deserve to die! ”

Qin Yining's lips moved, "In the end, there are still innocent people." ”

"Innocent?" Cao Yuqing smiled mockingly, tears slid down from the corners of her eyes, "I also left their family's old and young, women and children!" But what about Qin Meng? Who has considered how innocent Qin Meng is? He is frank and unscrupulous, and has never done anything bad in his life, who will pity him? ”

Cao Yuqing got up suddenly, grabbing her hair painfully with both hands, "I have known Qin Meng for so many years, and I know that he is the smartest and most frank man in the world. He didn't want me to be reduced to a tool for procreation, and he didn't want to hurt your mother in the inner house after giving me hope, and also changed myself, so he spoke to me bluntly from the beginning.

"I still love him to this day, I can give my life for him, but these are all voluntary for me, Qin Meng She has never deceived me, and she has never thought of using tenderness to bind and use me."

Cao Yuqing looked at Qin Yining with red and swollen eyes, "Your father is a good person, he acts worthy of heaven and earth, is he not innocent if he dies a tragic death!" ”

Qin Yining's tears fell in a pour.

The hatred in her heart has never been less than Cao Yuqing's.

"Aunt Cao, if I had the skills of yours, I might have killed Dai Lin at night. I understand how you feel. It's just that she is not as ruthless as Cao Yuqing after all.

Cao Yuqing has seen a lot of blood and blood, she is like a sharp blade, if it is in the hands of a decent person, she can do decent things, just like Qin Huaiyuan. But now that Qin Huai is far gone, the person holding the knife is gone, this sharp blade is full of resentment, and Qin Yining will not be surprised if he does anything bloody.

Qin Yining wanted to persuade Cao Yuqing, but she knew that now that Cao Yuqing was in a state, no one could persuade her.

"Aunt Cao, you should be calm and calm these days, your face is very bad, and you have to recuperate. As for my father's affairs, when the funeral is over, let's take a long-term view. ”

Cao Yuqing looked at Qin Yining, making sure that she was not appeasing herself for the time being, so she nodded slowly.

"Okay."

Qin Yining and Cao Yuqing ate some japonica rice porridge together, and then went to the front yard mourning hall.

I didn't see the second master and the third master here, and I asked the maidservant, only to know that someone from Shuntian Mansion was coming and was asking questions in the front hall.

"It was said that something happened to the Dai family last night, and the people from Shuntianfu came to our house to ask."

After all, there was a lot of trouble in front of the Qin Mansion yesterday, if Ji Zeyu hadn't arrived in time, no one knew what would have happened at that time, Qin Yining had moved the axe on the spot.

"Princess, will Shuntian Mansion suspect our family?" Rock Candy was a little worried.

"It's fine. Even if you ask me, I will say it bluntly. Qin Yining sneered, "There are many people who have offended Dai Lin, if someone comes to ask, I have to ask back, who is holding a funeral at home, such as Dai Lin, a slut blocking the door to make trouble, and slandering the deceased, who will not be angry?" Just because I'm suspicious doesn't mean I've done it. ”

The rock candy and the others all nodded and did not continue the topic.

I don't know what the second and third masters said, but the people of Shuntianfu didn't ask the ladies in the house in the future.

However, in the afternoon, Qin Yining got another piece of news that shocked both the government and the opposition.

"The Holy One has taken the Tiger Talisman of the Duke of Dingguo. Now the Duke of Dingguo only receives the title, regardless of the court. ”

Qin Yining looked at Jiyun who replied in shock, "Are you serious?" ”

"Naturally, it's true, and now the news has spread all over the place." Jiyun said that he bowed, then retreated, left the side hall to a few masters, and brought someone to carefully guard the door.

Qin Yining looked at the second and third masters beside him, "Things turned out to be like this." ”

The third old man slapped the table fiercely, "It's ridiculous!" A hero like Dingguo Gong was just taken away from his power just because he came to put incense on the eldest brother, isn't this telling everyone that they are not allowed to associate with our Qin family! ”

The second old man said in a low voice: "Isn't this more indicative, who sent Dai Lin?" Maybe if the Dai Lin family didn't have an accident, Dingguo Gong wouldn't have come here. ”

Several people couldn't help but be silent.

Cao Yuqing's eyes narrowed, "So, it's very likely that Dai Lin was arranged by that one!" Qin Meng went, he didn't even let out a fart, even if Qin Meng lost his life, he didn't decide whether he died in the line of duty, or did not do well, such a hazy attitude made everyone dare not come forward, and it was easy to come to a bold person, and he would also be angry! ”

Cao Yuqing's voice became lower and lower, and the last word seemed to be squeezed out of between his teeth, "If he hadn't sent someone to the north to fight the army, the people wouldn't have been so gone!" Looking at his performance now, it is very likely that Qin Meng was ...... by him"

"Aunt Cao!"

Qin Yining stopped Cao Yuqing's words.

She looked left and right, signaling that Cao Yuqing had ears on the wall.

Cao Yuqing took a few deep breaths before suppressing the grievances in her stomach and said apologetically, "I'm sorry." ”

Qin Yining shook his head.

It seems that Li Qitian has already won the game.

What is the situation in the South? Although she can get the news from the south, after all, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and it has been a long time since the news reached her hands. Perhaps Li Qitian has a faster and more direct way to learn about the news from various places.

So he saw that Xiao Xiao couldn't move, so he would rest assured and boldly seize Ji Zeyu's military power? Otherwise, if you want to employ people temporarily, can you still give orders with a shy face? Ji Zeyu is not an ordinary person who looks for accusations to linger, even if he will obey the order and be loyal to Li Qitian, with Li Qitian's suspicion, will he not be suspicious?

"If that's the case, our family's affairs will also bring the Duke of Dingguo." The second old man sighed, "I have begged for a career with Shangfeng, and my colleagues all know that I am going to send Linghui Township, but no one has any expression." ”

The third master said: "Now that there is this example of Dingguo Gong, who dares to say more than half a word?" Whoever is nicer to our family will be unlucky together. ”

Cao Yuqing's hand was clenched tightly, a cold glint burst out in her eyes, Qin Yining saw that her expression was wrong, and grabbed her hand.

Cao Yuqing's hands were cold, and her fingertips were trembling for some reason.

Qin Yining used his hand hard and looked at Cao Yuqing warningly.

Cao Yuqing's emotions immersed in hatred were easily withdrawn, she remembered what Qin Yining said just now, everything had to be done first, and what she wanted to do needed to be considered in the long run.

After all, Cao Yuqing did not sneak into the palace and kill Li Qitian under heavy guards, without giving the Qin family the confidence to cause trouble.

"Princess! Second master, third master! Suddenly, the maidservant's slightly anxious voice came from the courtyard, "Madame is back, this time I went to the mourning hall, and the uncle called the slave and maid to tell me that the situation of the eldest lady looks very bad!" ”

Qin Yining's heart jumped, patted Cao Yuqing's hand comfortingly, and hurried to the mourning hall.

***

At this time, in the Ci'an Palace, Li Helan was holding the hand of the Queen Mother and crying: "Queen Mother, the concubine is just kind-hearted, when she passed by the Qin family, she saw that someone was making trouble in front of their door, so she interjected, why is it a great crime?" We are a family, and the royal brother took the tiger talisman of the horse without caring about it, how can people outside talk about it? What do you think of our family? ”

Li Helan covered her face and cried, she now just wants to please Ji Zeyu with all her heart, the more time passes, the more reluctant Ji Zeyu's handsome face and meritorious service, Ji Zeyu has an accident, but she didn't come to ask her to intercede, Li Helan naturally won't wait for Ji Zeyu to take the initiative to speak, so she came to ask the Queen Mother first.

If she does this, Ji Zeyu will remember her kindness, right? Ji Zeyu is so proud, he may be a colt, but he refuses to make people feel that his high-ranking officials and Houlu rely on the identity of the colt, and now this incident happens to happen, isn't it the opportunity God gave her to perform?

Thinking of this, Li Helan cried even more sadly.

The Queen Mother rubbed the corners of her forehead and said tiredly: "Can you stop making trouble for the mourning family?" ”

"How is this looking for trouble? A son-in-law and a half, what did Ji Lan do wrong? The queen mother said a word for Ji Lan, not only for her daughter, but also for the royal brother. Who in the court now doesn't know that Ji Lan will lead troops and fight? In the future, the imperial brother may be used when Ji Lan is used. ”

"If you use it and then activate it, will Ji Lan still be able to resist the will when she arrives?" The Queen Mother pushed away Li Helan's hand that was holding her and said, "The mourning family doesn't want to get involved in these things now, you are the daughter of the mourning family, can't you think about it for the mourning family?" ”

"Queen Mother, you love your daughter, your daughter wants to go directly to the royal brother when she arrives, but the imperial brother refuses to see her daughter at all, even if she does, the royal brother will not listen to what her daughter says, or your words have weight."

The Queen Mother sneered, "What weight can the mourning family have when they speak now?" I can't even protect my cousin and niece, let alone a colt. You'd better die of this heart. ”

"That's true."

The Queen Mother's voice fell, and Li Qitian's low voice came from in front of the palace door.

The Queen Mother and Li Helan were taken aback and hurriedly stood up.
