The night was deep, and even the moonlight hid behind the clouds, and she refused to come out shyly.

At this time, many places in Lin'an City are still full of pedestrians, but the front of the Prime Minister's Mansion has already entered the quietest time of the day.

People know that this mansion in Lin'an is the residence of the most powerful people besides the imperial palace, so no one dares to come to this place easily at night, for fear that at any time the officers and soldiers may seize the official mansion for the crime of "trespassing", and it is not known that they will be beaten badly, and they may even lose their heads.

It was unusually quiet in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the two majestic stone lions were still holding their heads high, angrily cracking their big mouths, revealing sharp and sharp teeth, guarding them like two fierce beasts, making people even more afraid to approach.

A man who was not handsome in appearance, but with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, and a jade chain was thrown in his hand, and he staggered forward.

A woman dressed as a maid came over, and when she saw the man, she couldn't help but be a little nervous, and she hurriedly turned around, but she was still too late and was seen by the man's sharp eyes.

"Hey, why did you turn your head and want to run away when you saw Young Master Ben?"

Although the maid didn't want to meet him, he didn't dare to run away when he saw it, and if he remembered the grudge, he was afraid that some of them would feel better, so he could only turn around a little awkwardly.

She smiled and said, "It turned out to be the eldest young master, who came to find Miss at that time, and I was about to go back quickly!"

It turned out that this man was none other than the "eldest young master" of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qin Hui and his wife Wang had no heirs, and later succeeded a man from Wang's brother Wang Zhao, named Qin Xi, and now he is more than 20 years old.

Qin Hui is usually busy with business, rarely has time at home, the family is mostly respected by the Wang family, the Wang family is also infinitely gorgeous when he is young, but he is old, and gradually loses the hope of having children, and his temperament has become indifferent and serious, but this "big young master" is very well-behaved in front of the Wang family, but as soon as he is away from the sight of the Wang family, he immediately becomes improper.

Qin Xi often takes pleasure in teasing and flirting with the maids in the house, which is well known, but he never really bullies his subordinates as a young master, which is why everyone is not disgusted with him.

When Qin Xi was less than ten years old, Qin Hui brought back a baby who was still in swaddling clothes from outside, raised it at home, and always loved the baby, like a pearl in the palm of his hand, and he called "Miss" from a young age, this is Qin Xi.

The most important thing is that Qin Hui has never explained a word to anyone for more than ten years, so everyone said behind her back that Qin Xi was born from "Waifu", but no one dared to mention it openly, but from the attitude of Mrs. Wang to Qin Xi, she was also like a mirror.

These two people who are not related by blood have become "brother and sister", and the whole house knows that Qin Hui loves Qin Xi abnormally, no matter how big a thing Qin Xi has made since he was a child, he will never blame him a little, and scolding the last two sentences with a smile is already the limit.

I thought that Qin Xi would be jealous because of this, and he didn't want to see this "sister" openly and secretly, but he didn't know that the completion was beyond everyone's expectations, Qin Xi actually loved his sister very much, as long as there was anything new, he would come to show off as soon as possible, and after showing off, as long as Qin Xi liked it, he didn't bring it back in the end.

Qin Xi stretched out his hand with a wicked smile, quickly pinched it on the maid's face, and then in her

Bai laughed happily under his eyes.

"Is Xiaoxi in the room? She hasn't been angry again in the past two days, right?

He asked a series of questions, but the maid only cared about holding the half of his pinched face with her hand, and her eyes were full of disgust that could not be concealed.

Qin Xi saw the maid like this, he knew that he couldn't get an answer, the jade chain in his hand made a soft sound, this was a precious thing he had found recently, and his face was full of smugness when he glanced at it.

He couldn't help but couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and wanted to show off in front of Qin Xi, so he jumped over the maid and strode towards Qin Xi's room.

Qin Xi put his ear to the crack of the door, listened carefully, and waved his hand to let the maid behind him not make a noise first, who knew that at this time, someone suddenly opened the door, and he almost fell in.

"I like to be so sneaky in my own home, I really don't know where the upbringing of the Prime Minister's Mansion has gone!"

Qin Xi finally stood firm, straightened his clothes, looked at the beautiful girl standing in the door, he coughed, and then quickly put a smile on his face, and said: "What are you talking about, your eldest brother and I came to see my sister-in-law have anything to do with the upbringing of the Xiangfu?"

"I haven't seen you these days, do you miss my big brother?"

Qin Xi glared at him fiercely, looked up and down, and said, "If there is anything new, take it out quickly, and go back quickly after appreciating it, lest my mother know and say that I am not doing my job properly and wants to pull you up!"

Qin Xi saw that her sister was not angry when she saw her, and she couldn't say what she was thinking about on the road just now, so she sighed, and walked into the room and sat on the chair with a big grin.

"To be honest, I really can't understand why my mother always dislikes you so much, although I have been pretending to be well-behaved in front of them since I was a child, but where will there be any secrets in this house, how can they not know what I look like behind my back, you are obviously much more well-behaved than me!"

"Hmph, it's good to be self-aware!"

Obviously, Qin Xi didn't want to mention his mother, as the eldest brother, he suddenly put the emerald bead in his hand in front of Qin Xi and compared it in front of her neck.

"Well, yes, this string of things was brought to my father by Yunnan Hou, cui** drops, no variegation, I like it very much when I see it, so I earn it from my father, see if you like it?"

Qin Xi glanced at it with his eyes, but he didn't have the slightest hint of joy, he just said: "You should keep such a good thing for yourself, I have it!"

Qin Xi suddenly jumped up from the chair and said: "Oh, my sister, seeing you like this, I am really sad in my heart, you say, what do you want to do, brother, I will not say a word when I go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire!"

Qin Xi sighed again, but still couldn't raise his interest, lowered his head and said: "I had a quarrel with my mother that day, and then my father punished me for grounding at home, I'm not happy!"

"What?"

"You've been grounded by your father?"

Qin Xi's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it was true, and then he almost burst out laughing.

He nodded vigorously, but he didn't dare laugh, but the more he looked at it, the more hateful it became.

"If you do this again, I will kick you out, and I won't let you enter my room in the future!" Qin Xi said harshly.

"Don't, don't do this, I'm just funny, a crazy girl like you is actually grounded, isn't this going to suffocate you to death, dad back

It's Dad, he always knows how to punish us in the most effective way......"

Qin Xi stopped talking, this is true, after less than a day, she was about to lose it, in fact, she also knew that her father loved herself, even if she was herself, but this time he quarreled openly with his mother, and he could only punish because of his mother's face, what he wanted was just to admit his mistake, not to punish himself.

However, I couldn't say it anyway.

Thinking of the look in her mother's eyes when she didn't speak, she felt a chill in her heart, and couldn't help thinking: "I am probably really a wild child born by my father outside, so that my mother is so jealous and refuses to forgive to this day, but what is wrong with me......

How many times she wanted to ask in person, but each time she ended up running away......

Seeing his sister like this, Qin Xi couldn't help but feel really sorry from the bottom of his heart, he suddenly seemed to think of something, "hehe" laughed.

He put Cuizhu away, took his sister's hand, and said, "Let's go, isn't it grounding?

Qin Xi looked at him suspiciously, the two of them finally went out, Qin Xi carefully closed the door, and then looked around with "thief eyebrows", and saw that no one was pulling Qin Xi to the direction of the small door behind.

There is a small door in the backyard of Qinfu, which is a convenient place for the kitchen and subordinates to enter and exit, it is already dark at this moment, and no one appears along the way, only a small room is still lit.

Qin Xi also understood at this time that his brother was too depressed, so he planned to take himself out of the small door.

The two of them slowly approached the somewhat dilapidated wooden door like two tiptoeing mice, and the room with the lights on was the residence of Qin Ergou, who was in charge of the kitchen and the dirt in the other rooms.

The dim candle suddenly trembled, and it could be seen that there were two people sitting in front of it, as if they were talking about something.

It was pitch black and no one around, only the sound of cicadas was still in my ears.

Although Qin Xi usually likes to tease people, he is timid, if it weren't for this wronged sister, he would never come to this kind of place alone.

"Oh, don't touch me, the moon is dark and the wind is high on this big night, do you want to scare me to death?" Qin Xi said with some impatience.

"Qin Xi, I told you not to touch me, I'm afraid!"

Qin Xi flicked the hand that was buckled on his shoulder with his hand, thinking that Qin Xi was really joking with him and deliberately scaring him.

Who knew that the hand didn't let go, he suddenly seemed to be hooked by something, and goosebumps rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

When he turned around, he saw Qin Xi looking at him with his neck bent and trembling like a mouse that had been caught stealing, his eyes were obviously full of pleas for help.

Qin Xi's heart began to sink.

"It's over!" he sighed.

"Where are you going?" said a middle-aged woman's voice, like a tiger with its claws outstretched.

Qin Xi's face shook, and then an innocent and innocent smile appeared.

"Mother, why did you come here on this big night?"

Behind him stood a middle-aged woman, dressed in fine clothes, with obvious wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her body was not overly fat, her sharp cold eyes were like two stars from the sky, so cold that people didn't dare to look at them directly.
