Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 346 The identity of an old friend
When Qin Xi left, her steps were a little sloppy.

She came out in a daze, and the people from the palace told them that Su and others had already gone out, so they could just go out.

Seeing that Qin Xiang looked a little inappropriate, Qing Gu reached out to support her arm, and Qin Xiang walked out of the gate of the Nine Princes' Mansion in silence.

After getting on the carriage, I saw the smiling Su and Li Siniang talking about parenting. I couldn't help but sigh: It seems that the less people know, the happier they will be.

When Mrs. Su saw her daughter entering the carriage, she hurriedly moved to the side and motioned for Qin Xiang to sit over.

"I heard that you went to see the old prince. What did you say? You kid is so brave. When I sit in the same room with him, I feel like I can't even breathe." Su Shi chattered and patted her chest. .

"Mom is afraid of the prince, why not afraid of Princess Yaoxiang?" Qin Xiang saw that her face was rosy, thinking it was because she was quite happy getting along with Princess Yaoxiang.

"Yao Xiang is about the same age as you, and she is a kind woman. What am I afraid of what she will do?" Su's emotions, anger, love and hate are very straightforward and simple, which is actually quite good.

Qin Xiang was silent for a while, then asked Su: "Where's dad? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Su Shi shook her head: "He has been gone for two days. He said he was going out to do errands and he won't be back for a few days."

Qin Xiang was silent again. She had never stared at Uncle Qi in the past, but now she discovered that Uncle Qi often left quietly for a few days and came back a few days later.

Because she was too trusting, Qin Xiang never asked him what he was busy with.
But the old prince's words made her suspicious.

After returning home, Qin Xiang asked someone to bring a letter to Xiao Chenyu, asking him to go home.

She received too much news from the old prince, which Qin Xiang couldn't digest for a while, so she needed Xiao Chenyu very much, even if it was just to listen to herself.

It's not that she doesn't have any emotions, it's just that she doesn't want to show them in front of the old prince. He is right, don't let people understand your emotions and happiness and anger too well.

That night, Xiao Chenyu returned home in the dark.

He went back to the house to change his clothes, and then said that he was going to give gifts to Mrs. Su and see the child, but was stopped by Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang asked people to prepare some dishes, warmed a pot of wine, and asked everyone to go out, leaving only a confused Xiao Chenyu.

Xiao Chenyu sat down, looked at the wine on the table, and asked with some surprise: "You called me home in a hurry just to drink? Or are you missing me so much that you want to be indulgent and gentle after being tipsy?"

Without outsiders, men naturally have less scruples when speaking, and they always have a little wink, and they always like to think about and tease men when they are in love with women.

Qin Xiang ignored his joke, raised her hand and poured two glasses of wine from the wine bottle, giving one to Xiao Chenyu, picking up the other herself, clinking the glasses with Xiao Chenyu, and drank it all in one gulp.

The wine was made from sweet-scented osmanthus. It was sweet and delicious, but the wine had enough staying power. Qin Xiang only drank three glasses, and then she only gave Xiao Chenyu the chopsticks to serve. Xiao Chenyu was really hungry, so he started eating by himself.

When he was seventy percent full, Xiao Chenyu put down his chopsticks, poured another glass of wine and drank.

When Qin Xiang saw that he stopped eating, she called someone to come in and clean up. She and Xiao Chenyu went to wash up separately. After changing into middle clothes and going to bed, before Qin Xiang could tell the purpose of calling Xiao Chenyu home today, Xiao Chenyu stripped him clean. , everything has to wait until the wind and rain stop.

However, Xiao Chenyu probably fell asleep after having sex because he was tired and drunk.

Qin Xi leaned against him and also fell asleep.

The next day, Xiao Chenyu woke up and saw his wife nestled in his arms. He smiled and slid his hand down the hem of his wife's clothes.

Soon, Qin Xiang was woken up and made out with Xiao Chenyu for a while before getting up to wash up. After Xiao Chenyu returned from meeting Su and the child refreshed, Qin Xiang allowed him to go into the back room and close the door to talk.

Qin Xi first asked how Xiao Chenyu was doing in the college.

Xiao Chenyu said that since he went to the Nine Princes Mansion to attend the Hundred Days Banquet, his life suddenly became better.

Qin Xi sighed, power is a good thing.

Then, he solemnly said what the Ninth Prince had said, and took out Su's jade hairpin from the dressing table and handed it to Xiao Chenyu.

Xiao Chenyu knew about Sphenoid Bone, but he never expected that Qin Xiang's grandmother was actually from Sphenoid Bone.

He asked in confusion: "The news your father gave back then said that your mother died at the hands of Sphenoid. Since she was a member of Sphenoid, why did she die at the hands of one of her own people?"

Qin Xiang sighed: "I guess she is pregnant, and the sphenoid bone may not be able to tolerate the arrival of this child, so the grandmother can only run away with the pregnancy."

Xiao Chenyu touched his chin and said, "It's also possible that the people around the prince can't tolerate a prostitute having his heir."

The two of them carefully avoided guessing the prince's thoughts.

Qin Xi said: "The old prince behaves very affectionately, but I don't believe it."

Xiao Chenyu took her hand and said: "He is not completely emotionless, but in his heart he has to let go of his family and country, the struggle for imperial power, and the rise and fall of the palace. How much room does he have for the love of his children?"

"Forget it, I didn't call you back just to talk about this." Qin Xi broke the dull topic.

"Huh? I thought you missed me so much that you sent someone to call me home." Xiao Chenyu deliberately made an exaggerated expression of surprise. In fact, he wanted to tease Qin Xiang and make her relax.

As expected, Qin Xian softened her expression and said, "Before leaving yesterday, the prince told me something, which made me uneasy."

Xiao Chenyu was really surprised. She didn't even care about becoming the granddaughter of the Ninth Prince. What else could make her uneasy?
Seeing that Xiao Chenyu became serious, Qin Xiang said: "The old prince told me, my husband."

She didn't know what to say, so she paused.

Xiao Chenyu raised his eyebrows, and after thinking for a moment, he realized that the gentleman Qin Xiang was talking about was the late gentleman who taught Qin Xiang how to read, read, calligraphy, chess, calligraphy and painting, and make incense.

"What happened to your husband? Isn't he already dead?"

"Well, it's just that it wasn't the gentleman he invited as my father thought at the beginning, but it was someone who sent it to me on his own initiative."

"Who is he?" Xiao Chenyu was completely curious and couldn't help but ask.

"He is also from Sphenoid Bone, and is even an old acquaintance of my grandmother. He only came to our home after my grandmother passed away. How exactly my father invited me to our home to teach me is unknown."

In short, once he came, he never left until the end of his life.

"Uncle Qi must know?" Xiao Chenyu patted his thigh and didn't even notice that the name had been changed back.

Qin Xiang sat next to Xiao Chenyu: "I asked Uncle Qi at that time, where is my husband's hometown? Where are the bones buried? But he said that my husband's bones were gone and had been burnt to ashes and scattered everywhere. ”

Xiao Chenyu was surprised: "He has indeed never said, where is Mr.'s hometown?"
