Gongqing bone

Chapter 43
Qin State Duke's Mansion
"Jinshu, thank you for coming to see me off and calling so many sisters."

Lin Ling held Qin Jinshu's hand, which had finally recovered after being bedridden for a long time, and said with emotion.

Qin Jinshu weakly covered the corners of her mouth with a veil, her bloodless face was almost the same color as the veil.

The weather has only just entered autumn, and she has already put on a small jacket, which is really not a sign of health.

"Madam Sheng, I still prefer to call you Miss Lin, I miss the time when you always treated me like a niece and daughter-in-law;
This time, everyone in the Sheng family seems to be promoted, but in fact they are secretly demoted, but if you follow Mr. Sheng to Lingnan, an uncivilized land, it is very likely that we will meet for the last time..."

Speaking of this, the ladies present were all sad and gloomy.

Well-informed people naturally know that the Sheng family offended Concubine Long and was sent away from the capital, which is the center of power. As for why they offended the concubine, it seems that Sheng Yu had something to do with Long Wanzong's death...

Du Heng felt that Concubine Long Gui had really done her a great favor. The capital city was not a good place, and she would not make life easier for the Zhou family. The farther away the little aunt was, the better.

"Jinshu, what are you talking about? I heard that the southern land is like spring all year round. It's too late for me to be happy. You should be more concerned about your body~" Lin Ling said to Qin Jinshu worriedly.

Qin Jinshu is Lin Junyun's unmarried wife, with insufficient womb, a sign of premature death.

Back then, her little sister Qin Jinmiao was lost, and she couldn't get out of bed for three months, which made Mrs. Shizi very anxious;
Lin Junyun also searched for Qin Jinmiao many times because of this fiancée, but he got a lot of false clues and ran away several times.

When something happened to the Lin family, it's not that the Qin family didn't want to help, but they were stuck in a quagmire and couldn't take care of themselves;
After Qin Jinshu learned that Lin Junyun was dead, she almost didn't follow her, but she gritted her teeth and carried her back when she saw her heartbroken mother and her little sister who was on the verge of collapse.

Du Heng looked at Qin Jinshu and Lin Ling in the center of the circle, feeling sorry for each other.

She suddenly wanted to see the kidnapped Qin Jinmiao, and hoped that she could be of some help.

She is not an important person, and no one will say anything when she leaves the scene.After asking the little girl about Qin Jinmiao's residence, she walked towards the south courtyard.

Du Heng watched a thin figure limping from a distance, and followed her as if it was Qin Jinmiao.

Walking and walking, I found that something was wrong. Qin Jinshu was missing a foot, not a limp. Although the girl in front was dressed brightly, it was already last year's clothes.

Most importantly, she didn't have any servants and maids to follow her, so she could only walk limping by herself.

Du Heng knew in his heart that this should be the concubine who was the same age as Qin Jinmiao, and it seemed that she was called Qin Jinnan, which didn't sound like a serious name.

Everyone in the circle understands that her mother was betrayed because of her adultery with a servant, but in fact, her mother, who was a prodigal servant, was inextricably linked to Qin Jinmiao's disappearance, so Qin Jinnan also suffered a catastrophe and was arrested. Break a leg.

Qin Guogong's son kept silent about what his wife did. This was the disaster he caused, how could he dare to provoke a mother's furious revenge.

Du Heng didn't know what to say, Qin Jinnan's mother did it on her own, but was the young Qin Jinnan innocent?This is all bad debts of their Qin family, it's better for outsiders not to talk about it lightly.

Just about to leave quietly, sister Zimei saw Qin Jinnan who was alone, and came up to say hello.

"Miss Qin San, why are you alone? Where are your maids?" Xiao Zimei stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Don't bother me." Qin Jinnan tried to yell at Xiao Zimei with a sullen expression on her face that didn't match her age.

"You're wearing such thin clothes, don't blow the wind, and be careful of catching cold;"

Xiao Zimei squatted down, tightened the collar of Qin Jinnan's clothes, and continued lovingly and caringly: "Even if your mother is no longer by your side, you must take care of yourself~ She... must be missing you silently somewhere !"

Qin Jinnan's face became darker and darker, looking at Xiao Zimei who was close at hand, she suddenly opened her mouth in surprise.

"I saw you! A long time ago!"

Xiao Zimei still smiled with a good temper: "Your Elder Sister Jinshu and I are good friends, and I often come to play with her, so it's not surprising that you have seen me."

"No! It's my mother, you talked to my mother!"

"So what? I have spoken to most of the women in this mansion."

"You are a good man! You are different from those bad women!"

To Du Heng's and Xiao Zimei's surprise, Qin Jinnan recognized Xiao Zimei who had spoken to her mother, and threw herself into her arms vigorously, crying loudly, letting go of her hard look just now.

Xiao Zimei was a little surprised, and immediately hugged the poor little girl, with a natural heartache on her face.

"What did you just say? Do you know the whereabouts of my mother? Didn't they say they sent her back to her hometown?"

Xiao Zimei had a "why are you so stupid" expression on her face:

"You also know the identity of your mother, 'I have been wandering for a long time', how does she remember her hometown and hometown?"

Qin Jinnan didn't know what "I've been wandering for a long time", but there was no deep meaning in Xiao Zimei's words, and she could understand what she meant by a little guesswork.

"Then sister, where did they send her!" Qin Jinnan anxiously held Xiao Zimei's arm with her little hand, and kept asking questions.

Xiao Zimei looked distressed: "This is not something that a rich lady like you should listen to, but I can't bear to watch you think hard... Sigh, it's just 'fallen leaves return to their roots, clothes embroidered on the day' that's all, don't worry, she can handle it -"

Xiao Zimei's words made Qin Jinnan feel like a cloud, but Du Heng knew the meaning behind her words.

It was the first time for Du Heng to feel that such a cousin was so unfamiliar. These words seemed to be comforting, but they were actually hidden needles, and the adults on the sidelines only got goosebumps.Xiao Zimei wondered what a painful blow it would be if Qin Jinnan realized what she said?
Could it be that she felt the same for Qin Jinmiao and wanted to vent her anger on her?Do you also regard the difference between the concubine and the concubine as incompatible?
But Xiao Zimei's expression didn't seem to think so. She still looked at Qin Jinnan with infinite love and distress, tightened her clothes from time to time, touched her hair and face, and even took out her purse to give it to Qin Jinnan. She has a lot of broken silver.

"I want my mother! You know where she is but don't tell me!" Qin Jinnan suddenly pushed Xiao Zimei who was half-squatting vigorously away, and pushed her to the ground, three feet away from her.

But he held the money tightly in his hand and did not return it to Xiao Zimei.Even her gaze seemed to be a little hesitant, and she didn't leave immediately.

Xiao Zimei looked at her as an ignorant child and didn't blame her for anything.
