Qin Chaojiu's words made Shen Yajun's guilt even stronger, and she couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "Perhaps, I have some misunderstanding about you. ”

Qin Chao Jiuguan'er chuckled, she was already beautiful, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her smile was not hidden, and there was a lot more wanton and free and easy in her generosity.

"It's okay, haven't you realized it now, I can forgive you."

Shen Yajun opened his mouth, stared at Qin Chaojiu in amazement for a long time, and suddenly raised his hand to support his forehead: "You have such a simple temperament, it is not suitable for a place like the capital, no wonder, you have just arrived, and you have been calculated to death." ”

Qin Chaojiu raised his eyes in disapproval: "Are you saying I'm stupid?" ”

"Did you hear that?"

Qin Chaojiu wiped his fingers clean, sat up a little straighter, looked at Shen Yajun's face and said: "If you say something stupid, Miss Shen Wu doesn't seem to be smart, aren't you also being played by my sister, during the palace banquet, stand up for her, and be slapped in the face by me, this polo match, won't it be my sister's suggestion?" You see, you didn't fall into anything, but you almost got into it. ”

Qin Chaojiu told the truth, but the more he told the truth, the more heart-piercing.

Shen Yajun was pierced to the ground, and he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

"You...... You really deserve to be bullied. Shen Yajun opened his mouth and said for a long time.

Qin Chao replied without pausing for half a minute: "Each other." ”

"Huh." Shen Yajun sneered, she had lived so much, she had never seen someone who spoke so bluntly, she got up from her seat and said: "That's it, this time the matter is thanks to you, but I have thought about it for a long time, I still can't let you take such a big risk alone, although you don't care about your reputation, but I can't accept your feelings with peace of mind, I can write a handwritten letter to you, if one day, this matter affects you, you can also prove your innocence." ”

After speaking, Shen Yajun handed a letter that had already been written to Qin Chaojiu's hand.

Qin Chaojiu opened the letter and glanced at it, which described the causes and consequences of this incident very clearly, it was a letter thanking Qin Chaojiu for his righteous help, the final payment, and her name.

This letter is tantamount to her taking the initiative to hand over a huge handle that may have affected her own reputation to Qin Chaojiu's hands.

Miss Shen Wu is really frank and resolute.

Qin Chaojiu folded the letter, put it back into the envelope, and shook it at Shen Yajun and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will take this out and threaten you?" ”

Shen Yajun chuckled: "This is the truth, I, Shen Yajun, sit upright, and naturally I am not afraid." ”

Qin Chaojiu wiped his mouth, got up and bowed to Shen Yajun: "It's getting late, and I'm still bothering Miss Shen Wu to send me back." ”

Qin Chaojiu got up to leave, but deliberately left the letter on the table and pressed it lightly with a teacup.

Shen Yajun looked at the letter, and his heart was touched again.

Miss Qin Er is right, she really believes the wrong person, she doesn't believe the person who says it, she has to believe the words of the person who is kind on the surface but vicious in secret.

In the future, she must keep her eyes open to see people.

The late autumn wind, exceptionally cool, passed through the carriage and raised a strand of Qin Chaojiu's hair.

Slightly excited, she stretched out a hand from the car window to catch a falling yellow leaf.

The yellow leaves are dry, and with just a slight pinch, they make a crisp "click" sound.

When he returned to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, he also met Dong Kui cleaning the fallen leaves in the yard, Qin Chaojiu looked at the yellow leaves everywhere, suddenly the corners of his mouth curled, and said: "Don't sweep it, let's sweep it tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Second Miss." Hollyhock answered.

Winter lotus came out of the house: "Second Miss, do you want hot water to bathe and wash?" ”

"Well, let's go get ready." Qin Chaojiu nodded towards the winter lotus.

Qin Chaojiu entered the house, but he didn't see her eldest maid bamboo, so he asked: "Where did the bamboo go?" ”

Winter Lotus turned her head and told Dong Lyhock to prepare hot water, and followed Qin Chaojiu while pouring tea, and said: "Zhujie went to the kitchen to get dinner for Miss, I heard that tonight, the kitchen made stewed shrimp, and I just saw the plum branch on Miss's side, and the corners of my mouth are about to grin." ”

Qin Chaojiu chuckled: "I see that the corners of your mouth are about to grin to the root of your ears." ”

After Qin Chao washed up for a long time, he waited for a long time, but he didn't see the bamboo knot come back, so he asked the winter lotus root to go over and take a look.

Winter Lotus walked to the door, and when she saw Winter Lyrock in the yard, she shouted: "Winter Lotus, go to the kitchen to see, why hasn't Bamboo Jie come back yet, isn't it lazy again, don't you know that the second lady is waiting to eat?" ”

Dong Que frowned and glared at Dong Lotus: "What are you calling me for, why don't you go yourself?" ”

Dong Lotus chuckled: "Miss still wants me to pinch her shoulder, I can't get out, what's wrong with you going, Xinxiangyuan, there are only the two of us, you are idle and have nothing to do, why can't you go?" ”

Although Dong Lai felt that Dong Lotus was wrong, it was clear that everyone was the same little girl, why should she listen to her orders everywhere, but she was not as clever as Dong Lotus, so she had to block her breath and turn around and go to the kitchen.

After a while, Dong Kui ran back out of breath: "Oh no, Second Miss, Bamboo was beaten by the kitchen people." ”

Qin Chaojiu frowned, put down the tea cup in his hand, and walked straight to the kitchen with long legs.

At the same time, in Xixue Courtyard, Qin Jingxi, Qin Guanming, and Qin Guanrui were sitting around a table, and in the middle of the table was stewed prawns.

The little maid on the side carefully peeled the shrimp and peeled it, and put the peeled shrimp meat on a small plate in front of the masters.

The two brothers, Qin Guanming and Qin Guanrui, almost simultaneously sandwiched all the dishes on their respective plates to Qin Jingxi.

Qin Guanming said carefully and gently: "Sister, if you like to eat, eat more." ”

Not to be outdone, Qin Guanrui said: "You're welcome, the third brother's will also be given to you." ”

Qin Jingxi, who was like a group pet, smiled and thanked: "Thank you, second brother, thank you third brother, you guys are really good to Jingxi." ”

Qin Guanming and Qin Guanrui laughed: "It's good for you to eat some shrimp?" You're too easy to deceive, if someone else gives you a little benefit, won't they cheat you away? ”

Qin Jingxi smiled playfully: "Then I can't, I won't go with anyone, Jingxi wants to stay in the Hou Mansion for the rest of his life and be with his brothers." ”

"Net nonsense."

"By the way, is the eldest brother still busy with official business and hasn't come back? Oh, Meizhi, you go to the kitchen and tell me that you must leave some shrimp for your eldest brother. Qin Jingxi suddenly spoke.

Mei Zhi smiled and said, "Miss, you forgot, you ordered it early, and the kitchen has already reserved the eldest prince's share." ”

Qin Jingxi let out an "oops" and suddenly realized: "I forgot about it." ”

The atmosphere between the three siblings was warm and harmonious.

If it weren't for someone kicking the door open, and a subordinate being kicked in like a ball, it would have been a happy and warm dinner.

"Ahh

Qin Jingxi was startled and almost fell off the stool directly, but fortunately, Qin Guanrui on the side was quick and helped her.

Everyone stood up from their stools, their eyes full of shock and anger.

In front of them, a woman with a bruised nose and swollen face was curled up on the ground, screaming and screaming.

It was Chen Sanniang, the kitchen steward.

At the door, a cold figure stood in front of the door, the evening breeze was bleak, blowing her skirt, and the aqua blue dress set off her expression at the moment a little colder.

"Qin Chaojiu, what are you doing?!"

Qin Guan stood up irritably, pointed at Qin Chaojiu's nose and scolded: "What are you crazy about? ”

Qin Chaojiu raised his eyebrows, his gaze swept straight over Qin Guanrui, who was the most powerful jumper, and looked at the other two.

Qin Guanrui's reaction was so big, which showed that he really didn't know anything.

So, the person who instigated the kitchen to withhold her food and deliberately abused her maid, was it Qin Guanming or Qin Jingxi?

Qin Guanming's brows were tightly furrowed, his originally warm face, when facing Qin Chaojiu, it was as if he had been soaked in the cold sky of Sanjiu, so cold that there was no trace of temperature.

He asked in a deep voice, "Asahyu, what are you doing here?" What happened? ”

I also know that if I ask her the reason and reason, the suspicion is not big, but it still exists.

Qin Jingxi cried directly at this time, and the whole person shrank into Qin Guanming's arms, like a frightened rabbit, with words in his mouth: "Sister, don't be angry, okay, the second brother and the third brother were invited by me to come over to eat with me, and my sister was going to call you, but thinking that you were frightened today, you probably wanted to be quiet alone, so I didn't call you over, don't be angry, you sister is so scared." ”

Regardless of the reason, she was characterized as soon as she opened her mouth, believing that she was the one who had nothing to do, and who could forcibly change the topic regardless of the truth.

It's the real murderer behind the scenes.

The corners of Qin Chaojiu's mouth were slightly hooked, since the murderer has been found, then ...... Strike with precision.

Qin Chaojiu raised his chin slightly, his eyes looked at Chen Sanniang on the ground, and his cold voice carried inexplicable pressure: "Let's talk about it, what happened, my second brother and third brother want to know." ”

Chen Sanniang subconsciously trembled, her head kneeling on the ground was almost hidden in her knees, and she said tremblingly: "It's really not about the villain!" The villain also listened to the order, saying that dinner could not be delivered to the people of Xinxiangyuan, so when the bamboo of Xinxiangyuan came to pick up the food, I didn't give it. ”

After Chen Sanniang finished these two sentences, she began to kowtow "bang bang bang".

Qin Chaojiu snorted lightly and moved his wrist: "Go on, there is more." ”

"Yes, yes, and the villain is wrong, the villain should not do the bamboo, let alone try to hide it when the second lady comes to find someone, the villain is guilty, please forgive the second lady, please help the second son and the third son!"
