Chapter 48 (Born but Not Raised)
"Qin Ling, are you sure you have sent out a lot of this money? You don't have a detention point yourself? Qin Yao asked meaningfully.
"Third Miss, look at what you said! If I have the heart to be an official in Shangshu Mansion for so many years? The lord treats me well, and I don't do this kind of thing that kills people for money. If you don't believe it, just come to check, if you want to say that some accounts are messy, I admit it, but I definitely haven't taken a copper plate from Shangshufu. Qin Ling responded with an oath.
"That's good, I don't need to report this matter to the official, I'll handle it myself. Find someone to bring these bride price to my mother's room, these things are hers, and no one is allowed to touch them without her permission. After Qin Yao finished speaking, he turned to Qin Hong.
"Dad, although he is also a father, but now this father is a little different from before, no matter what, you still fulfill your responsibilities as a husband and father. But it doesn't mean that the hardships you let our mother and daughter go through can be written off. ”
"Uncle Qinling, give me all the information of Fengshun, and prepare a horse for me, I want to let the murderer who made my mother almost fall into Huangquan know what retribution is."
"Eh, I'll give it to you." Qin Ling hurriedly left. Now these three young ladies are amazing, and they are half of the royal family.
"Yao'er, you can't leave Liuli City now, it's easy for the royal family to think that you have escaped marriage." Qin Hong persuaded.
"It's not someone else's turn to decide whether I go or stay, but in order to avoid misunderstanding, I will talk to the prince. It's better not to let my mother know what we're talking about today. Qin Yao reminded.
"I know, but you are now the crown princess, you just need to talk to the prince and let him come forward, there is no need for you to go in person." Qin Hong tried to stop it.
"Forget it, the more people you ask for, the more difficult it will be to take care of it in the future, and I will solve my own affairs. By the way, who do you think is more suitable for the position of the commander of the forbidden army in the imperial city, the prince intends to change the commander of the forbidden army, and this matter should be fast. ”
"Is that really the case?" Qin Hong didn't believe it very much, what was the royal family trying to do? This is another rush to establish the crown princess, and it is a concubine, and this is going to replace the commander of the forbidden army?
"We don't have to think so much about royal affairs, you just need to understand that the prince wants to seize military power. It is estimated that there will be a big change in this glass city, so you have to be careful. Qin Yao warned. The empress and the emperor made big moves one after another, and there must have been something that had to be resolved. ”
"Then when are you going to leave, there will definitely be no fewer officials who will come to our Shangshu Mansion to visit in the past few days, you had better leave after these few days, and I will arrange arrangements for you." Qin Hong proposed.
"I don't need to arrange my affairs, now that my eldest sister can't get out of the palace, it's really not good for me to leave again, so let's wait a few days so as not to settle down. Now that our Shangshu Mansion has been pushed to the forefront of the battle for the prince, you can no longer be the same as before. ”
"The commander of the forbidden army was determined earlier, and our family will have something to rely on. Remember, during my absence, I have to protect my mother no matter what, and it only makes sense for me to have her in Shangshufu. ”
"Don't expect too much, now that I'm not hostile to you, it's the best I can do, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and you know the truth of being born but not raised. Since you have abandoned me, I don't need to talk to you about any nurturing grace, and we should be in a cooperative relationship. Qin Yao looked out the door and said.
"Yao'er, do you have to be like this to your father? No man is born wise or learned? Can you give Dad a chance? Qin Hongyang begged.
"What do you think you have to make up for it now? Can you make the flesh of my mother grow back? Qin Yao turned to look at Qin Hong and asked.
"It's me who is wrong, it is me who is wrong." Qin Hong muttered.
"My mother is your only bargaining chip now, don't let this chip fly." After Qin Yao finished speaking, she went straight to the backyard, she was going to accompany her mother.
"Miss, you're back." As soon as he entered the backyard, Feng Ling greeted him.
"Help me prepare the bath water, I'll go with the escort first." Qin Yao nodded and ordered.
"Yao'er, are you done talking to your father?" Say hello at the door.
"There's nothing to talk about with him, mother, Steward Qin will bring the bride price over in a while, and you can watch and deal with it. When I've had enough, I'll exchange it for a silver ticket, and I'll have something to go out for a few days. Qin Yao promised to help his mother into the house.
"Why do you want to go out again when you just came back?" Baguio asked worriedly.
"Mother, do you remember that there is a person named Fengshun in our Shangshu Mansion?" Qin Yao took the water handed over by his mother and drank it and asked.
"Fengshun! Mother remembers, she should have left, right? I haven't seen him for a few days since I came back. Why do you think of him so well? Baguio looked at her daughter puzzled.
"My father said that he has sent us twenty taels of silver every month over the years, but we haven't received it once, and the money was hacked by Fengshun, and I learned that we were going to come back and run away."
"This time I went out to find him, this person has hurt our mother and mother so badly, he must not be let go, he must be repaid with blood." Qin Yao explained calmly.
"Did your father give us money? Twenty taels a month, that's a lot of money in the past ten years, and I should come back. But Yao'er, you have already promised your mother, and when you return to Shangshu Mansion, you will no longer dance knives and guns, have you forgotten? You can go to the official and let the official solve it! Baguio asked in surprise.
"Mother, don't say that, daughter, what else can I do besides this ability? At such an age, do you really plan to let me abandon martial arts and follow Wen? I promised you weren't going to pick up the task anymore, but you can't count on others when you're bullied, right? ”
"Besides, what a great opportunity? Otherwise, I don't know when Luan will come to pick me up for my wedding without saying a word, whether I go or not, this opportunity is very good, how appropriate is it to go out and hide? Qin Yao coaxed.
"Then you promised my mother not to get involved in those things on the rivers and lakes anymore, okay? I'm afraid that one day you will go out and never come back, how can you live if you leave your mother! Baguio prayed.
"I promise you, I won't get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes anymore, did you say it before you didn't come again? Look, daughter, am I the one who doesn't count? ”
"Mother, I put all our money under the dresser in my room, and you have no money to get it yourself." Qin Yao whispered in his mother's ear.
"How many times do you talk to your mother? And what do you mean by that? Isn't it dangerous to go out this time? Baguio asked alertly.
"If I go, what danger can I have to find a housekeeper? Am I not afraid that you will have less money to spend? Qin Yao comforted.
"So I don't have the money to spend on the bride price?" Baguio corrected.
"Those are jewelry, jade, silk and satin or something, you can't spend it directly as money, do you take a night pearl to buy baked cakes?" Qin Yao said with a smile.
"Don't worry, how capable do you think I am? After a trip to the palace, I mixed up with the crown princess in two days, and got back such a large carload of good things, I can easily navigate the palace, what else is there to worry about? ”
"Although let's say it, being the crown princess is a little restrictive, but do you think, how many people in this world can't be if they want to, right? Do you see how obedient that prince is? If I ask him to kneel, he will kneel, and he will not be wronged in the future, isn't it all because I'm good at beating people, right? ”
"Co-authored, your crown princess beat the prince?" Baguio was coaxed into joy and said angrily.
"Don't say it, this is really a type, look! When he is familiar with you, he will be appointed to sue you. ”
"By the way, mother, when you have time, go to the flower and bird market to buy a few birds and come back to raise, I promised Sister Xuan'er, don't forget to bring her next time you enter the palace." Qin Yao changed the topic and smiled.
"Okay, you wait, my mother will take your things." Baguio finally relieved her mind when she saw that her daughter didn't have any burden at all, and she knew that her daughter couldn't control it, and it was better to take the initiative to give her than to steal it herself.
"Yao'er, you are now the crown princess, those people in the rivers and lakes are your enemies, be careful not to run into that dragonfly blood and disobedience knife." Baguio handed the box to Qin Yao and advised.
