Marrying into a poor family

Qin Xi told Xiao Chenyu everything in detail.

Then he asked Xiao Chenyu why he suddenly came back? After all, his place to study was obtained by the Lu family using connections they had never used before and spending a lot of money. It was truly hard-won. Of course, asking for leave is even more difficult.

In fact, going to the Imperial College to study is more about making connections and broadening your horizons. It will also be easier to enter officialdom in the future.

Xiao Chenyu said: "I heard that something big happened in Qijiang County, and I found out that you sent your mother-in-law and children to the capital in advance, so I felt a little uneasy. I guessed that the big thing might have something to do with you. So, I excused myself because I was ill. I took a leave of absence and rushed back."

Qin Xiang was moved in her heart, nestled against Xiao Chenyu's chest, and said softly: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't come back. I have never come forward in this matter, and have never had any contact with Eunuch Zhao, nor have I had any direct contact with anyone. It’s a contradiction. Therefore, it shouldn’t be traced to me.”

"But if I don't come back, how can I feel at ease? Even if I sit in school and study, I can't calm down!"

"You are not afraid of delaying your future. If someone finds out, you will be blamed."

Xiao Chenyu smiled lowly, his chest shaking slightly, and he stroked Qin Xiang's hair hanging on his shoulders with one hand: "What are you talking about me? I gave up my studies to meet my wife? Or are you saying that I can't stand up to the stage and can't do big things?"

After saying that, he turned his head and kissed Qin Xiang's forehead, and sighed with satisfaction: "Even if they say that I acted immoderately for women, and some people may use this to attack me in the future, I will not regret it."

Because he knows that Qin Xiang can be very crazy sometimes. Although she has more worries now that she has a child, Xiao Chenyu still doesn't dare to gamble.

He was very afraid that Qin Xiang would do something stupid, and he was even more afraid that if he was not by her side, he would be beyond his control if something happened, and that would be the last thing he could regret.

"If something really happens, we will suffer together if you come back. Then who will take care of my mother and children?" Qin Xiang raised her head and looked at Xiao Chenyu, her beautiful eyebrows contained a gentle and caring smile that she didn't even know she had.

"If something happens to both of us, Lu Jiu will naturally take care of his mother-in-law and children. You should rest assured about this!"

It was late at night, the whispers in the house finally stopped, and Qing Can outside the house finally led the little maid to have a rest.

During this period, except for necessary shopping, family members are not allowed to go out at will, and everyone feels a little panicked. Now that the master is back, although he still can't go out, it seems like he has a backbone, and the whole family seems to have more vitality.

On the second day after Xiao Chenyu came back, the county government came and asked Qin Xiang to go to the county government to talk about something, but Xiao Chenyu stopped him and went to the county government himself.

However, he soon returned.

Xiao Chenyu told Qin Xiang that he was just going through the motions and asking some casual questions.

And because Xiao Chenyu is a famous scholar and is still a student of the Imperial College, who knows who his classmates and friends are now? If you offend someone you shouldn't offend, no one is willing to bear the consequences. Therefore, those people were even more respectful.

"Actually, Eunuch Zhao's death didn't cause such an uproar. It was just because of the blood letter that it caused such a big fuss."

It turns out that the incident of the blood letter was well known to everyone, and even though the officials wanted to suppress it, they were unable to do anything. In addition, other counties that Eunuch Zhao traveled through had bad things of one kind or another, and the rumors gradually became more numerous and became unstoppable.

The people at the county government who asked Xiao Chenyu also came from the capital. They knew that Xiao Chenyu had just come back and that the matter had nothing to do with him, and that his wife was just a weak woman who was still in mourning. When Eunuch Zhao came to Qijiang County, she was I have never been out of the house, and I have never seen anyone else.

Therefore, they had no doubt at all about the Xiao family and his wife.

It was precisely because of this that the man took the initiative to reveal some inside information to Xiao Chenyu in order to establish a good relationship with him.

To sum up, it hinted at two points for Xiao Chenyu: First, the magistrate of Qijiang County was arrested and imprisoned, and they will be taken back for interrogation when they return to Beijing. Second, all the property that Eunuch Zhao seized in the name of the Queen Mother will be returned in full.

Want all your belongings returned?

This was unexpected by Qin Xiang. Thinking of the things she donated, she still felt a little distressed. Of course, her most important thing has not yet been handed over.

However, there is something special about her. It was Eunuch Zhao who came forward, and Lu Jiu and Qin Xiang secretly planned it. The Lu family took the lead and asked the four major families to send a lot of spices to Qin Xiang, in the name of offering incense to the Queen Mother. ingot.

How to settle this account now?

Although, even if there was no blood letter, Qin Xiang had a countermeasure and would never give this batch of incense ingots to Eunuch Zhao for nothing.

However, with the blood book, it is even easier to solve.

Of course, Qin Xiang did not know that Eunuch Zhao was dead at that time, so she did not expect the consequences to be so serious.

But with serious consequences, the benefits are also huge.

While she was happy, Qin Xiang calmed down again and paced back and forth in the room in deep thought.

Xiao Chenyu leaned on the chair and asked with a smile: "Do you think that if everything is returned, will the Queen Mother be angry with everyone?"

Qin Xiang nodded: "Although the Queen Mother has spoken out now, saying that Eunuch Zhao took it upon himself to plunder the people's wealth, which aggravated the people's anger and led to death, and also implicated the reputation of the Queen Mother who was far away in the palace. Death is really not enough. Cherish."

"But, we all know that Eunuch Zhao collected property under the orders of the Queen Mother. However, I wonder if the Queen Mother knew about his behavior towards women?" Xiao Chenyu took Qin Xiang's words and said.

"Yes!" Qin Xi walked to Xiao Chenyu and sat down. She really liked the feeling of having someone think of and talk about it with her: "Now that the Queen Mother has lost face and lost the huge wealth she was about to acquire, then Wouldn’t it make you even more angry?”

"You are right. When this moment subsides, the Queen Mother will definitely find a way to vent her anger. All of us will be affected."

Xiao Chenyu continued the discussion according to Qin Xiang's words.

In the end, the two of them unanimously decided to accept the things they had donated before.

However, let Lu Jiu and Xiao Chenyu personally escort a batch of incense ingots to the capital, and use the connections of Lu Jiu's family to directly open a road to the Queen Mother's Palace.

Qin Xiang smiled slyly: "Eunuch Zhao stayed here just to wait for this batch of incense sticks. In order to avoid trouble, I decided to donate them. Anyway, we did not provide the materials, we only provided the labor and craftsmanship. However, I want to This batch of incense tablets is great value for money and maximizes the benefits.”

She raised her hand, slowly clenched it into a fist in front of her eyes, and said: "I will pull the Zhang family down and trample them under my feet so that they can no longer stand up.

Xiao Chenyu wrapped her hand in his palm and warmed it with the warmth of his palm: "Take your time, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Don't take all the benefits by yourself, think about the Lu family, the Qin family, and even let others The Huang family should also drink some soup."

When it comes to eating meat and drinking soup, everyone should benefit from it.

In the days that followed, Qin Xiang waited for the county government to return the incense and spices. On this matter, she still followed the crowd and did not want to be the first person.

After all, she made it lively in the first place, but now she actually doesn't have much, so she still has to wait.
