4.11 Uncle——

"Uncle, you didn't expect that, right?" Qin Keqing moved her body slightly, adjusted to a comfortable position, continued to sit on the bluestone, and then leaned against the rockery to rest. "When the niece and daughter-in-law decided to get married, they didn't expect that it would be like this. The situation; an elder brother is like a father, so how dare a nephew and daughter-in-law do what he decides?"

"At this time, you and I shouldn't have met each other. No matter the time, place or things during the day, it is very inappropriate." Zhou Yang hesitated for a moment and said helplessly, "If you think you can say it, you might as well Tell me, no matter what happens, if these things come out of your mouth or into my ears, not a single word will come out.

If you find it inconvenient to say it, then that’s okay. You and I will go back and act as if we have never met each other. As for your identity, as I just said, I only made a broad guess. Many things are completely unclear to you. Whether I want to say it or not, I just pretend I don’t know anything. What do you think? "

The Ningrong Second Mansion and the Jinling Jia Clan are indeed in serious decline, just like when Zhou Yang first met Jia Mu, he dared to draw his sword in front of her on the spot. His status in the Wu Xun camp is actually no lower than that of the empty Rong Guo Mansion.

But this refers to conflicts and troubles, not enmity, let alone the kind of endless blood feud. If he is on the day of the wedding of the third generation of the Jia family in Jinling, it is rumored that he will have a private meeting with him in the garden or in the middle of the night. Scandal, Qin Keqing will definitely die regardless of his identity, and the Jia family will kill him at all costs!

Because this is not something that can be described by mere "face", but it is related to the face of the whole family. If the Jia family fails to solve the "adulter" in this situation, it is tantamount to admitting that they are useless in front of the whole world. Not to mention outsiders, even other branches within the Jia family would overthrow the two main branches of Ning Rong's second house without hesitation!
If it really came to such a point, Wu Xun’s other families would not say they would protect him, but if they could directly help the Jia family deal with him, it would be 12 points of conscience—what, Zhou Yang brought 10 to each family every year. An income of around [-] taels?That's a problem?On the contrary, they will also solve the problem with the Xue family, otherwise they will not be able to make up for the losses!

"My nephew and wife have heard for a long time that my uncle is a great man in the world. When we meet today, it turns out that he is a worthy man despite his great reputation." Qin Keqing looked into his eyes and sighed softly, "That's all. Anyway, I have been depressed for a long time on weekdays, so today I will let it go." After all, uncle just wants to hear a story."

"That's fine." Zhou Yang smiled and nodded, "But I don't know what I should call you?"

"My concubine's surname is Qin, no matter now or in the future, I can only be surnamed Qin, and my maiden name is Keqing." Qin Keqing's tone was undisguised, "But you guessed it, I am the daughter of the royal family, His Majesty’s nephew, His Royal Highness Prince Uizhong, is my biological brother, and the late Prince Uizhong, Chitose, is my biological father.”

"No!" Zhou Yang shook his head, "I have never heard of your age."

"My nephew-in-law was born in the 29th year of Longwu's reign. This must be what my uncle meant, right?" Qin Keqing said softly.

"Yes, Prince Yi Zhong passed away at the age of 36 in the [-]th year of Longwu. Logically speaking, you should have been born before that time. In any case, you would not have been born." Zhou Yang was very puzzled.

"My father was imprisoned by Longwu for 32 years. After that, he didn't trust anyone at all. Just in case, he resorted to some means and handed over his concubine to the care of the most trusted head of the palace, Mr. Qin. Originally, everything was kept secret. Yes." Qin Keqing said slowly, "Even the surname is the same as Qin's adoptive father.

But he didn't expect that just seven years later, his father would pass away, and his brother would be under surveillance at all levels. His adoptive father, Mr. Qin, had to ask Wuxun's family for help before the news leaked out. Fortunately, his niece-in-law was only a woman, so She was not held accountable, but was taken care of for the sake of reputation. Just like today's dowry, it was completely prepared by the palace in accordance with the princess regulations. "

"So. That's it!" Zhou Yang was so startled by the news that he subconsciously paused in his speech. In this way, Qin Keqing's bedroom decoration that completely exceeded the standard when he appeared in the original book can be said, "I In fact, I guessed that you came from the royal family, but I really didn't expect that your life experience would be so complicated."

Born into a royal family, he was "accidentally" born because of "a mistake that all men make" of a certain royal child. This was not a big problem, it was just a matter of spending some money to support him; but his biological father was the long-dead Prince Yohitada. His biological brother is the current King of Yi Zhong County, which is a completely different topic, because the status of these two people is too special.

"Yeah, how could my niece and daughter-in-law not understand, how much trouble is there?" Qin Keqing's voice was already crying, "I am just a girl who was raised in a deep boudoir. Although I have been raised since childhood, what do I know? Why should I be burdened with the trouble of a royal family change? What’s more, I’m carrying such a shameful thing?"

"Shameful things?" Zhou Yang didn't quite understand, but he vaguely guessed something.

"If the niece-in-law said that she married into the Ningguo Mansion today, she was actually not marrying the husband in name, but marrying the father-in-law, what would uncle think?" Qin Keqing's voice was almost resentful, and it hit Zhou Yang like a thunderbolt. On the head, "Hahaha, you didn't expect it, right? That good brother sent his niece-in-law in like this!"

"I really didn't expect it." Zhou Yang said stupidly. No wonder Qin Keqing's life experience is full of secrets. In the original work, she died because of "picking off ashes", because from her point of view, she married into Ningguo Mansion, which in itself was It was not because of Jia Rong. In this way, her life experience became a "secret that cannot be told." "But, didn't you say that this was decided by Uncle Jing?"

"That's right, the grandparent's side actually decided only the granddaughter-in-law; the elder brother gave the niece and daughter-in-law to the father-in-law, but as the daughter of a gentry, there is absolutely no reason for her to be a concubine, so the father-in-law asked his son to recite it." Is there anything wrong with your status?" Qin Keqing said with a smile, but this smile was as beautiful as a flower, but also as heart-stopping as a poppy.

"Serial plan—no, it can only be said that it has changed a little bit." Zhou Yang murmured, "The fundamental purpose of the 'serial plan' in the Three Kingdoms is to use the adopted son to kill the foster father; the current arrangement is to win over Ningguo Mansion; As for Uncle Jing not explaining to Brother Zhen and Brother Rong, it must have been arranged by your elder brother, the reason is nothing more than 'protecting the younger sister', and by the way, 'protecting Jia's mansion', right?"

To put it simply, King Yizhong deliberately asked Qin Keqing to appear in front of Jia Zhen to elicit his "ideas", and Qin Ye naturally refused on the spot; then, King Yizhong "pressed" Qin Keqing in the name of "helping". Ye "submits"; but at the same time, "suggests" Jia Zhen to marry her "daughter-in-law", which not only achieves her goal, but also takes care of Qin Ye's "face".

On Jia Jing's side, they only said it was a "marriage" and then specifically emphasized "hiding identity". No matter what Jia Jing considered, he couldn't refuse this "reward"; Rong, but Jia Zhen doesn't care at all, because he was given a "forgiveness hat" by his own father, and his heart has already been distorted-maybe he has more feelings?

"What do you need me to do?" Zhou Yang felt for the first time that speaking could be so laborious. "In other words, you said these things not just because of pressure, right?" "Originally, my nephew and daughter-in-law were already prepared. It's just a few years shorter, but I didn't expect to meet my uncle here." Qin Keqing said softly, "I have heard for a long time that my uncle is a hero in this world, but I don't know if there is a way to save my niece-in-law's life?"

"." Zhou Yang was completely speechless, "Do you think too highly of me?"

"She is my niece-in-law after all," Qin Keqing said hurriedly.

"Wait!" Hearing this, Zhou Yang's heart moved suddenly, and he suddenly had an idea, "Tell me, if Big Brother Zhen knows your identity, will he still have the courage to continue? Or, once he knows your big brother's Do you still have the guts to carry on with the plan?"

"So what if you know?" Qin Keqing said quietly, "Since elder brother has already made arrangements, he naturally doesn't care about my life or death."

"At least you can buy time!" Zhou Yang said unceremoniously, "With your status, the servants around you should have people similar to personal bodyguards, right?"

"Only one orb." Qin Keqing said helplessly.

"Where are the other girls? Do they know?" Zhou Yang thought of "pulling the flag and pulling the tiger's skin."

"Of course I know." Qin Keqing had vaguely guessed what he was thinking, and her eyes gradually brightened.

"Brother Rong must have been warned by Brother Zhen now, and he will never have the guts to touch you." Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Zhen couldn't possibly have done anything to you from the beginning. You pretended to reveal your identity accidentally. Let Miss Baozhu show off your skills again, and people will mistakenly think that you are surrounded by people like her."

"In this way, at least for a long time, my father-in-law will never have the guts." Qin Keqing nodded vigorously, and said excitedly, but this emotion came and went faster, "But, it is impossible not to be seen through forever , it is even more impossible for my elder brother to let me do this. It will take as long as three or two years, or as short as one and a half years, and he will definitely do it."

"That's enough!" Zhou Yang said with a smile, "That's enough time for you to figure out a way to escape from this house, right?"

"Niece-in-law, escaped?" Qin Keqing suddenly froze, "Shouldn't it be my uncle who helped to save Keqing from this sea of ​​suffering?"

"Uh-" This time it was Zhou Yang's turn to be depressed, "How to save you? You are nominally the young lady of Ningguo Mansion and the third generation wife of the Jia family in Jinling. How can I, an outsider, save you?"

"An outsider?" Qin Keqing's expression kept changing, and she didn't say a word for dozens of breaths, but her face slowly relaxed, and finally raised her head slightly, "Uncle, niece and daughter-in-law just want to ask, if the insider What about people?"

"Huh?" Zhou Yang had a bad feeling, "What do you mean?"

"Uncle may not know," Qin Keqing stood up with a smile, "My niece and daughter-in-law have indeed heard a lot about you, but they are just rumors, for example—Aunt Yongchang. She also took good care of us back then, because of her For your sake, you don’t want to watch your niece-in-law fall into the sea of ​​fire, right?”

"Do you still know His Highness Yongchang?" Zhou Yang's uneasiness became even more intense.

"Hehehe——" Qin Keqing showed a bright smile, "Although my niece and daughter-in-law didn't talk deeply, I can tell that my uncle is by no means comparable to an ordinary subordinate with Aunt Yongchang, but is he still acting like this in front of Keqing? How about, How about we set a time, two years?”

"At what time, you -" Zhou Yang's mentality has slowly calmed down, and he watched Qin Keqing slowly being released from the restraints in front of him, until a jade statue came into view, making him unable to look away anymore, "You are like this Believe, I can do it?”

"Uncle, is your niece beautiful?" Qin Keqing slowly got into his arms, "I don't know, how is she compared to Aunt Yongchang?"

"Don't you regret it?" Zhou Yang's tone was very complicated. In good conscience, he really couldn't bear to watch Qin Keqing wither like in the original novel, but he also knew that with his current ability, it would be impossible to protect her in a short time. " You have to know that I am just a newly appointed official, so I may not be able to protect you."

"Didn't my niece-in-law say that? In two years, within two years, no matter what my uncle does, even with her status, my nephew-in-law can protect her." Qin Keqing said softly, "After two years, it is impossible for my father-in-law to continue to tolerate it. At that time, my nephew-in-law will have no choice but to risk her life to ensure her innocence, and I just hope that my uncle will not forget it!"

"You are not afraid, what am I afraid of?" Zhou Yang couldn't help laughing, since he came to this world, if he still allows the gold hairpin to wither, then there is no difference between him coming and not coming. Is "Brother Jane" difficult? "Two years, right? Then two years is fine, but there are a lot of mosquitoes here. I remember that Tianxiang Building is not far away, and there are usually no idle people there, and there are always ice basins and mosquito repellents."

"Uncle——"
