Marrying into a poor family

Uncle Qi went out for a long trip, and he didn't know where he went. He told Mrs. Su that he had something important to do.

When Qin Xiang found out, Uncle Qi had been gone for three days.

Facing Qin Xiang's inquiry, Su Shi said with a smile: "Why do I, a woman, talkatively ask about men's matters? In short, he is not an irresponsible man, nor is he a man without sense. He said it , he will definitely come back before I give birth to a child."

Qin Xiang frowned, looking at her mother who had a big belly and a happy face, and couldn't help complaining: "You believe everything he says, but if he doesn't come back, where will we find someone?"

Mrs. Su pretended to be angry, patted her daughter on the shoulder and said, "You are talking so openly that you have to spit it out!"

Qin Xiang had no choice but to follow her mother and say "bah bah bah" a few times, as if all her bad words were lost with these three bah bah bahs.

She told her son, who was playing nearby, not to make trouble with his grandmother. Before the child said anything, Mrs. Su became impatient and told her to go and do her own thing and stop worrying about how their mother-in-law and grandson got along.

Qin Xiang had no choice but to leave. As soon as she came out, she coldly ordered someone to call Sun Jifei to come see her.

Sun Ji flew in very quickly. It looked like he had just come from the martial arts training ground, and his hair was still a little messy.

Qin Xiang didn't waste much time and asked directly where Uncle Qi had gone.
Sun Jifei was stunned for a moment, then said: "I don't know, but he said before he left that he would be back soon."

"I don't believe you don't know. You don't want to tell me, are you?" Qin Xiang pressed the question because he guessed that it was probably related to his assassination, so he felt uneasy and worried that something might happen to Uncle Qi.

But Sun Jifei stopped talking, and Qin Xiang couldn't press him, so he couldn't just drive him away, right?

Not to mention that Sun Jifei is Uncle Qi's good friend, but Qin Xiang has not been able to repay the favor of saving his life last time, so he can only say: "If you can inform him, tell him, I I don’t need him to help me find the murderer, and I don’t need him to help me get revenge. I just want him to come back safely. My mother cannot lose her husband, and the child in her mother cannot say that she has lost her father.”

Sun Jifei cupped his hand, probably agreeing.

Ten days later, Uncle Qi came back.

Qin Xiang went to see him specially and waited until he finished talking to Mrs. Su before talking to Uncle Qi.

Uncle Qi said: "I went to find people I knew a long time ago and wanted to find out who that group of people were. As long as I find the origins of these people, it will be easier to find out who was behind it."

Qin Xiang was silent for a while and then said: "I returned to the capital from Qijiang County without even informing you in advance. Therefore, I think the people who know our itinerary are not from the capital."

Uncle Qi frowned: "Could he be from Dancheng?"

"I didn't stop in Dancheng, who knows my itinerary?" This is what Qin Xiang couldn't figure out.

Things that day couldn't be done without money.

Uncle Qi doubted the Zhang family and said, "The Zhang family in Dancheng has the financial resources and reasons."

Seeing Qin Xiang frowning, Uncle Qi added: "If the Zhang family has long wanted to kill you, then I'm afraid someone in Dancheng will be watching you. Then he followed you all the way to Qijiang County, and then from Qijiang County From the county to the capital, if you take action in the capital, you might not expect that it was people from Dancheng who did it."

"But, the Zhang family and I don't have such a deep hatred, right?" Qin Xiang has always been very low-key since her rebirth. She understands the consequences of being the first to be the first, and she also knows the truth that anything good in Lin Feng will be destroyed.

After thinking carefully about the several conflicts with the Zhang family, it would not cost her her life. But Uncle Qi is not optimistic. Those who hate Qin Xiang the most are probably the Zhang family in Dancheng and the Li family in Beijing.

The Li family has been in decline for a long time, and Li Dongliang is also dead. The Li family's own survival is in question. How can they pay a large sum of money to hire an assassin to kill Qin Xiang?
The one who wanted to kill was probably Li Siniang.

Of course, the Xie family also has certain suspicions, but they won't go to such a big fight and spend a lot of money. Qin Xiang knew it, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the old man of the Xie family was an iron rooster whose feathers were plucked.

Uncle Qi said: "I went back to Dancheng during this period and asked people to check on the Zhang family. It turned out that the Zhang family, which was originally the head of the four major families in Dancheng, has been deteriorating in the past two years, and is now declining. Looks like."

The cooperation between Qin Xi and Lu Jiu led to the rise of the Lu family, and the decline of the Zhang family began to show signs.

The Xianglu incident stirred up the four families in Dancheng, but what destroyed the Zhang family was Zhang Shaohua's involvement in a scandal involving his father-in-law.

This incident benefited the Lu family, the Qin family, and Qin Xiang. The Huang family was not involved, so it had no merit and no benefit.

But the Zhang family was different. The Queen Mother sent someone to reprimand the Zhang family, and refused the Zhang family's right to send their daughter to the palace.

The Zhang family sent a large sum of money to the capital to clear the level. I don’t know how many relationships were initiated. Finally, after a period of time, the Zhang family’s legitimate daughter was sent to the capital to be a palace maid beside the Queen Mother, hoping to win over the Queen Mother and the Emperor. With the favor of the emperor, he once climbed onto the emperor's dragon bed and got a position to help his parents' family.

This was the first time Qin Xi heard that a daughter of the Zhang family had entered the palace, and she felt something bad in her heart.

"Since all the daughters of the Zhang family have entered the palace, they will be favored sooner or later. Why do you want to kill me now? If there is a quarrel, it will not do any good to the Zhang family."

This is what Uncle Qi couldn't figure out, so he ran back to find someone to ask, but he didn't know anything.

"Sigh, I don't know if those killers are still alive now, or maybe the people in the Ninth Prince's Mansion must know something about it." Uncle Qi sighed.

Qin Xiang thought of those deep eyes again and couldn't help but shudder.

"Dad, this matter has come to an end for now. Please don't continue to pursue it. I'm afraid that the reason may not be found out by then, and it will bring even greater disaster to the family."

Anyway, Qin Xiang only needs to go out less often, as long as she takes enough people with her when she goes out.

Qin Xiang is not timid, but she is even more unwilling to see the tragedy that happened to Li Siniang happen again to her mother. Therefore, Uncle Qi's behavior must be stopped.

Seeing Uncle Qi's reluctance, Qin Xi persuaded again: "I know you are worried about me, but I am also worried about you! Now, I only want to live a peaceful life as a family. I used to do things too radically. , so I made more enemies and left many hidden dangers. I will try my best to make things more complete and proper in the future."

Suddenly, the little maid at the door came in and reported: "Madam, my uncle's wife is here. She said she has something urgent to see her."

The so-called maternal uncle is Mrs. Liu.

Qin Xiang and Uncle Qi looked at each other. What urgent matter could Mrs. Liu have?

Seeing Uncle Qi stand up and go out, Qin Xiang said: "Please!"

"My sister, do you want to think about what to do for me?"
