Chapter 623: Keep the Secret
Xiao Fuyuan looked at the old lady Bai's face that suddenly changed color, and thought to himself that fortunately he had finished dinner.
Otherwise, when the old grandmother heard the news that Sister Qiu was the princess of Rongguo, she would definitely be so shocked that she couldn't even eat.
You can hear a single needle drop in the silence of the room.
This news is too big for the Bai family.
"Oh, Mom, Qiu Niang, you've made our family miserable. How are you hiding your background? What else did you say about being abducted and sold to Yanliu Lane, do you know that your identity was found to be a crime of killing your head. ”
The second sister-in-law, You Jingui, was the first to lose her breath and shouted.
Eugene Gui's words are ugly, but they are true.
There is no way, Qiu Niang is the princess of the enemy country, this matter is very serious, if she is told and the Bai family is charged with fornicating with the enemy country, the good days of the Bai family will come to an end.
Eugene Gui has lived a good life in the Bai family for so many years, but he doesn't want this good life to disappear.
"Sister, what can I do about this?" Eugene Gui looked at Xiao Fuyuan in a panic, thinking in his heart whether Xiao Fuyuan's luck could cover everyone, and at the same time complained about his man.
Although Qiu Niang's exile to Nanguan Mountain was caused by An Xiucai, when she came to the Bai family, she was taken in by her own man.
Qiu Niang's tears were shining.
It is true that she was abducted when she was a child, and it is also true that she was sold to Yanliu Lane.
If she had a choice, she wouldn't want to!
I thought that I would come to the Bai family to live a stable life incognito, but everything was turbulent again.
If her identity is discovered, the entire Shenshu Village will be implicated, and even Ah Zhen, General Meng, Xie Xiaolian, Wu Xiaoying, and a bunch of people who lived in the Shenshu Village will be implicated.
"Alright, stop yelling." Old Lady Bai stopped Eugene Gui.
"It's okay if you don't shout, as soon as you shout, the whole village will know."
Eugene Gui shut up aggrievedly and glanced at Qiu Niang complainingly.
Harmful spirits!
"People are already in our family, and everyone knows that Qiu Niang is my mother's widowed nephew and daughter-in-law."
Old Lady Bai said slowly, although the people in the village had doubts about Qiu Niang's identity and guessed that she had been in the land of fireworks, most of the people in Shenshu Village were kind and sympathetic to Qiu Niang, thinking that the Bai family was doing good deeds by taking her in.
In addition, Qiu Niang is capable, she supported the Bai family's embroidery workshop alone, and took the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law in the village to earn money, so the criticism about her occasional rise in private has long disappeared.
Everyone just couldn't imagine that she was the princess of the enemy country.
"What is Qiu Niang's identity now, and what will be her identity in the future." Old Lady Bai set the tone.
Qiu Niang's face was full of gratitude, and she told her story of being tortured by the eldest concubine on the grassland and fleeing to Ningcheng, and naturally won the sympathy of everyone in the Bai family except Eugene Gui.
"Qiu Niang, let me ask you, your brother was captured by Da Zhuang and is now locked up in Ningcheng. You hate Dazhuang, and if you had such thoughts, you would have made it clear. Old Lady Bai put away her sympathy and looked at Qiu Niang sharply.
Qiu Niang knelt down with a thud, and swore angrily that Brother deserved it.
"Alright, get up." Seeing that the fire was almost over, the old lady Bai aroused Qiu Niang, and at the same time pressed her mind to make up her mind, if she dared to have a different heart, she would definitely not be spared.
"It's not a big deal." After Bai Muban panicked, he said calmly, "Qiu Niang doesn't say that she is the princess of the enemy country, let's not say it, who knows!" ”
The Bai family is experienced in hiding the descendants of the criminal officials, and they were able to hide the Zhen family at the beginning, and now they can also hide Qiu Niang, although the identity of the princess of the enemy country is more serious than that of the descendants of the criminal officials.
But for the Bai family, there is no difference.
"Qiu Niang beat this princess as a child...... It's not as good as a child daughter-in-law in the village. Xie Chuntao told the truth.
Tortured, denied food, fled, abducted!
Xie Chuntao can be regarded as an eye-opener, there is such a tragic princess.
"Since you haven't enjoyed the treatment of the princess of Rong Kingdom, why should you bear the consequences of Rong Kingdom's defeat." Xie Chuntao racked her brains and said her opinion.
The Bai family nodded one after another.
Xie Chuntao is right, Qiu Niang has never enjoyed the treatment of the princess of Rong Kingdom at all, but she is called the enemy of Xia Country because of this, which is also ridiculous.
"Qiu Niang, you said your mother is Han?" Zhen pondered for a while and asked.
"Yes, my mother." Qiu Niang's eyes showed regret, and she said calmly, "When the fourth lady of Zhen Mansion went to Xiyue Country to make peace, my mother was one of the companions, and when she met bandits at the border, she was separated from the fourth lady, and my mother was exiled to Rong country...... Become the lady-in-waiting of the concubine...... Later, he was taken by the Great Khan ......"
Xiao Fuyuan looked at his wife with sweat on his head after listening, and the old lady's expression was really excited.
Miss Zhen Fusi, and the ......
Isn't that the past of the current Queen Mother?
Unexpectedly, going around and around, Sister Qiu's mother turned out to be from Zhen's mansion.
"Come here, I have something for you."
Zhen called Qiu Niang to the back room, talked inside for a long time, and then the two walked out with red eyes.
As for what Zhen talked about to Qiu Niang, no one knows.
In short, the Bai family knows that this private exchange will definitely not harm the Bai family.
"Qiu Niang's background is not allowed to be revealed." Zhen's face was serious, and his sharp gaze glanced at the second daughter-in-law.
Don't look at Zhen's usual non-participation in housekeeping, but once there is something big in the family, it is Zhen who stands up and takes the idea to stabilize the rear.
This time was no exception.
The Bai family knew that this matter was not trivial, even if Zhen's aunt was the queen mother, she could not keep the charge of secretly hiding the princess of the enemy country.
Even if it can be saved, it will definitely have an unknown impact on the Bai family.
The fifth child of the Bai family is in the army, and the fourth child is taking the exam in the capital, in case this becomes a handle to attack the fifth and fourth children, the future of the two will be over.
"Mother, keep it secret, don't say it." Xiao Fuyuan was the first to raise his hand to express his position.
"Don't worry, mother, Qiu Niang is my sister-in-law, I definitely won't say it to the outside. Not only do I not say it, but I also don't say anything about the big guys. Xie Chuntao made a guarantee.
The Bai family has always been open-minded, and every time there is a family meeting, Da Lang and San Lang are not allowed to participate because they are still children.
Da Lang and San Lang also hurriedly followed and said, "I won't say it either." ”
The pressure came to Eugene Gui.
"I won't say it, and I won't say it to my mother." You Jingui complained about Qiu Niang in her heart, and she couldn't wait for Qiu Niang to leave quickly, but she also knew that this was a big deal, and she still had to save her life.
Zhen and Old Lady Bai's scrutinizing gazes swept towards Eugene Gui.
Eugene Gui was angry in his heart, what do you mean, don't believe me.
"I'm sure I won't, I swear." Eugene Gui gritted his teeth and swore.
"The second sister-in-law will definitely not say it." Xiao Fuyuan knows that his second sister-in-law is the most desperate, if this secret is revealed and only brings disaster to Qiu Niang, the Bai family can be left alone, then the second sister-in-law will say it, but now this matter involves the life of the entire Bai family, and Eugene Gui will naturally not reveal it.
Since Xiao Fuyuan said so, Zhen and Old Lady Bai nodded and let Eugene Gui go.
Bai Muban decided to go to the town the next day to tell the third family about it, after all, the Bai family is all on the same boat, and there is no reason to hide it from the third family.
The big secret of Qiu Niang's body disappeared in the hearts of the Bai family.
After the family meeting, Zhen sat on the couch with Xiao Fuyuan in his arms and pondered.
"Girl, you said that it would be okay for us to hide your sister Qiu." Zhen seemed to mumble to himself.
"It's fine." Xiao Fuyuan said.
But Zhen still couldn't suppress the panic in her heart, and she was worried that there would be a moth on Rong Guo's side.
