Houmen maidservant, she doesn't want to be in power

Chapter 72
Originally thinking that the second master left in a hurry in the middle of the night, he probably wouldn't return home during the day.But as it was getting noon, the second master was able to return to the Qingfengyuan without any problems.

Shi Jin had already got a letter from Zhihua, and he knew that Master Hou had gone looking for Second Master in the middle of the night.She also had some doubts in her heart, seeing that the second master was in good spirits and not sullen, she guessed in her heart that it should be nothing serious, but her subordinates kept passing a bowl of lotus seed soup over.

Now that lunch is approaching, it's better to have some soup to cushion your stomach first.

The second master took the lotus seed soup and took a small spoon to stir the sweet soup with little interest. When he looked up, he saw Shi Jin with his hands bound and his eyebrows lowered like flowers on the wall.

He raised his hand and waved at Shi Jin, looking at it as casually as if he was beckoning a cat to fight a dog.This thought flashed through Shi Jin's mind, and because of the "stupid thing" he did in the morning, he obediently stood in front of Second Master, and obeyed Second Master's orders.

At this time, the second master was leaning on the Luohan couch, with a relaxed attitude.He put down the soup bowl containing the lotus seed soup and stared at her, "If you have a friend whose friend is kidnapped and threatened, what should you do?"

Shi Jin might as well ask him this way, and immediately took a quick look at the second master, then lowered his head again, "The servant is soft-spoken, and I can't help you, I'm afraid I have to report to the officials."

"What if the fault is this friend's friend?" Second Master Qi asked.

"Then find the person who held him hostage. Humans have flaws. If you understand them with reason and move them with emotion, you will always let him let go of your friend's friend." Shi Jin replied.

Second Master's knuckles couldn't help tapping on the small table, and his eyes narrowed slightly, looking straight at Shi Jin.

Shi Jin's forehead was covered with sweat, and his fingertips rested on the palm of his hand, listening to the sound of tapping, not slow, but hitting the tip of his heart again and again.

"You're right." After a long time, the second master chuckled, picked up the lotus seed soup, and took a sip.

Sure enough, it's good to change the taste once in a while.

His mind turned back to what happened last night.As soon as Shen Liang became the Minister of Dali Temple and took over the case of the assassination of the prince, his younger brother Shen Xu had an accident immediately.

If it's a coincidence, Qi Mojing doesn't believe it.

It's nothing more than Shen Liang's uprightness, and the people behind the scenes want to take advantage of this matter to catch Shen Liang and use it for themselves.

Thinking of Shi Jin's words again, he couldn't help but chuckled.

Hit the snake for seven inches, and the seven inches will naturally fall on Chen Dong...
.
The Hou Mansion is calm and calm.

Qi Mojing took a rest after lunch, and then walked to Yan'an Courtyard in a leisurely manner.

To appease the emotions of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, he only let them wait for two days, and then Qi Tianyi will be sent back to the mansion.

Although Lord Hou Qi Mo bears the name of Lord Hou, he can be regarded as the pillar of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, after all, he trusts his younger brother's judgment more in this matter.

You swallowed your heart with one heart, and only waited for the second son to come back in two days.

Mrs. Yao is a loving mother, she was afraid that her son would not eat well or drink well in the prison, so she immediately asked the servant girl to prepare some clothes and food, and sent them to the prison together.
.
Very sunny today.

Shi Jin was a little drowsy in the afternoon.

She was following Zhihua in the corridor outside the main room, when the maid Cui Er came over and whispered to them, "Sister Zhihua, Sister Shijin, I just came over from the eldest young lady, you know what I saw ?”

"What can you see?!" Zhi Hua picked out a bright pink silk thread, slightly pursed the end of the thread, passed through the eye of the needle, and guided it to the embroidery frame, "The left is just that the eldest son has favored which maid again, my lord!" Is young mistress angry again?"

"It's different this time." Cui'er shivered, and approached the two of them and said, "Today, Jin Setete, the servant girl next to the eldest mistress, brought in a little girl. The maid thought that the elder mistress's courtyard was short of manpower. I wanted to make up for two maids, but when the man left, the servant brought two big sacks out of the house..."

Shi Jin's heart tightened, and he subconsciously felt that Tweety Er was about to say something alarming.

Sure enough, I saw some lingering fear on Cui'er's face, "At that time, the servant just happened to meet with that boy. The servant's eyes were sharp, and I saw the big cloth bag move, and there was a woman's small voice coming out from it, it should be Selling the maid in the courtyard..."

Shi Jin listened intently, and his fingertips couldn't help being pricked by the needle.In an instant, a drop of bright red blood rolled on the snow-white skirt, soaking out a red glow.

Seeing that Shi Jin's finger was injured, Zhi Hua hurriedly took her hand and looked at it, seeing that there was no serious problem, she turned her head and said to Cui'er, "Don't say whether the screwdriver is useful or not, have you finished your work yet? "

Tweety stuck out her tongue quickly, and ran away in a flash.

For a moment, there were only two of them left in the corridor.

After a moment of silence, Zhihua said, "The one who was sold must be Yan'er?"

Shi Jin nodded, "I just don't know who the other one is."

"Zuo is just the son's romantic debt." Zhi Hua said indifferently, "When the young mistress picks a few more bright-looking ones to keep by her side, the son turns around and forgets about these people."

Shi Jin was stunned, thinking of the ambiguous attitude of the second master for a moment, his heart became cold, and he felt a little bit sad.

He couldn't help sighing, and then bowed his head to do embroidery work.

The two were busy with their work, and the second master came back from Hou Ye's yard as if strolling in the garden.

At this moment, Shi Mo was not by his side, only a middle-aged man in indigo brocade clothes came back with him.

Shi Jin and Zhi Hua hurriedly got up, and they heard the second master say to them, "Where is the chess player? Make a pot of tea and send it to the study."

"Back to Second Master, Sister Siqi is not feeling well today, so she has taken leave. Why don't you make tea for you?" Shi Jin hurriedly replied.

Qi Mojing paused, but did not refuse.

Shi Jin hurriedly handed the embroidery frame and needlework to Zhihua, and went back to the tea room to make tea.

She has been learning how to make tea with Siqi for some time, although she has been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, she has more confidence in her heart, so she just took the best tea and made tea according to the steps and brought it to the study.

In the study room, the middle-aged man in the indigo brocade suit had a strong stubble beard and looked very mighty.But as soon as Shi Jin put the tea on the coffee table, he said thank you politely.

His appearance was too different from his words and deeds, Shi Jin couldn't help but secretly glanced at him, and then walked away.

After the door of the study room was closed, the man with the big stubble turned to Qi Mojing, "Why does this girl look familiar?"

Second Master Qi lowered his head, took the tea lid and flicked the foam from the teacup, his voice was cold, without any emotion, "You didn't come here today just to say that you are destined to be with my maid." stop?"

"Where's the matter!" The stubble man couldn't help but widen his eyes, "You can't talk nonsense! If my wife knows, I'm afraid I have to peel my skin!"

The corner of Qi Mojing's mouth twitched, and he revealed the matter, "The rain gear, food, and medicinal materials I asked you to store up last time, do you have them?"

The bearded man stroked his messy stubble, "The sky is clear now, and it's autumn again. If it's raining, how big can it be? Aren't you embarrassing me?"

Second Master Qi sneered, gave him a sideways look, and straightly lowered his head to drink tea, ignoring him.

It was the bearded man who sighed in a rare way, "Chengxian, I took the risk on this matter. Forget it, I'll trust you just once..."

　Thank you Tang Juan for the reward of 395, and everyone's recommendation ticket O(∩_∩)O
