Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 60 Substitute Girl
The person in the carriage was Qin Xiang. She watched Lu Da being taken away, followed far behind by two people from the escort agency.

Qin Xiang's brows furrowed. It seemed that Lu Da was discovered after entering the courtyard and informed the official.

It seemed that Lu Da was going to suffer some trouble, half of which was borne by his wife.

"Go back!" Qin Xiang said to the outside world, and the rented carriage started slowly.

After returning home, I saw that the fabrics had been delivered. Except for Lian'er and Lanhua, whose clothes were made by the cloth store, Su, Aunt Sang, and the child all sent fabrics to make their own clothes.

Qin Xiang returned to the house and hid the wooden box more secretly.

Lian'er came back and said that the shopkeeper and owner of the teahouse are now Su Qiang, and Su Lao'er was kicked out. What's even more shocking is that Su Lao'er suspected his wife of stealing his money and almost beat her to death. Huang's Finally, she cried and returned to her parents' home.

After hearing this, Qin Xiang just nodded and said she understood, and ignored the matter.

Lian'er was a little unfinished, so she went to talk to Su and others about the matter. Su was silent and listened, but Aunt Sang scolded her a few times.

Aunt Sang was afraid that Su Shi would feel uncomfortable, so she asked Lian'er to go out first and stayed to talk to Su Shi.

In the afternoon, a police officer came to ask if anyone at home had gone to investigate the yard where the fire broke out last night. Qin Xiang came out in person and replied: "My husband has gone. He is not even a scholar to put out the fire. He went back home to see if it would reach our side." , I have gone back to the county to study early this morning."

She deliberately emphasizes scholars to give people the impression of a weak scholar.

Sure enough, when the officer heard about the scholar, he relaxed his vigilance and asked when he went there, when he came back, etc. Qin Xiang answered them one by one.

Then he asked with a hint of curiosity: "I heard this when I went to buy fabrics this morning. Fortunately, everyone helped put out the fire, so it wouldn't cause a big disaster. I asked this to thank those who helped put out the fire. ?”

The officer saw that Qin Xiang was a beauty and saw that she did not look panicked at all and even went to buy fabrics in the morning, so he felt that there was no suspicion in her family.

But of course he didn't say much. He just warned before leaving: "Don't go out for a walk after dark these days."

Qin Xiang nodded hurriedly and patted his chest as if he was frightened: "It seems that we can't live in this town. Let's move to the county. The county is guarded by the police officers, so it is naturally much safer."

The guard laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, I'd better move to the county. It's safe and lively. It's naturally better than this small town."

After leaving Qin Xian's house, the investigation officer from the Xiao family next door also came out and asked, "How was the investigation over there?"

"A family of women and children, and the only man is a scholar, there must be no problem in their family." The officer decisively put a cross after the record.

The same was true for those who came out of Xiao Hanyang's house: "This family is the same, no one went out last night."

The two of them drifted away, and Qin Xiang leaned against the door and closed her eyes. This test was finally over for the time being.

Qin Xiang was now somewhat convinced that the yard must have something to do with the county magistrate, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to go door-to-door to question the person who put out the fire last night. This was obviously a person search.

And Qin Xiang understood that they were checking people who had rushed into the yard.

Qin Xiang was a little unsure whether it was the right time to move now. If she moved in a hurry now, would it arouse the attention and suspicion of others?
Not long after the officer left, someone from the escort agency came to the door. It was a man named Qiao Dazhuang. Although his name was Dazhuang, he was actually very thin, like a skinny monkey.

"Our eldest brother said that Mrs. Xiao Er is moving. I'm here to ask about the situation." Without Lu Da and Qiao San, everyone had no backbone. After panicking for a long time, they finally remembered Lu Da's explanation before leaving, but they were afraid that Lu Da would be The matter of taking away affected the work, so I chose to ask first.

"Put this away beforehand. My things have been packed before. It's easy to leave. You should stay at the escort office and don't walk around at will. Just wait for news from me at any time."

Qiao Dazhuang was slightly stunned. What he said was a bit inexplicable, as if she was their leader.

But Qiao Dazhuang didn't have much thought, so he turned around and left after hearing this.Qin Xiang saw Qiao Dazhuang dragging his feet and walking out, looking like the sky was not falling. She couldn't help but wonder: Logically speaking, these people have been hanging out with Lu Dazhuang and Qiao San for many years. Why do they look so unbearable? What does life look like?

Lu Da was just taken there for questioning, and that was all they did. If Lu Da was arrested and Qiao San never came back, what would these people do?

Suddenly, Qin Xiang somewhat understood why Lu Da, seeing the delicate situation, hurriedly entrusted the escort agency to an outsider, and a woman at that.

However, regardless of Qin Xiongfei's personality, there is no one in this town who can surpass Qin Xiongfei's status.If Qin Xiang wants to show off his power, he can really scare people for a while.

Qin Xiang looked at her hand and slowly clenched it. Qin Xiongfei's power was his after all. He still had no power at all. He was still as weak as a piece of grass. Someone with a little power only needed one hand and one hand. Their feet can kill them.

"Lian'er, please go to Xuanmiao Temple and call Liu Xi over." Qin Xi stood up straight and told Lian'er that things will get better without waiting.

Liu Xi came over soon. Qin Xi asked him to hitch a carriage and go to the county seat immediately. If he ran fast, he should be able to catch up with the incense shop to close in time. She asked him to ask if the garden in the county seat was ready and when could they move?

Not long after Liu Xi left, there was a noise from the Xiao family next door. Aunt Sang went out to have a look and came back and said that the Xiao family had moved, and she heard that they were going to live in the county.

The Qin family in Fucheng.

Qin Xiongfei got off the carriage, followed by a beautiful woman and a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old, holding a seven or eight-year-old child in their hands.

The three of them were well-dressed, and their eyes were shining with joy as they looked at the plaque on the top of the gate in front of them. Two large characters "Qin House" with flying phoenixes were right in front of them.

The mother and son were all a little excited: as long as they stepped through this door, they would become the upright Qin family.

The beautiful woman lowered her head and glanced at her son. Even if it was not for herself and her daughter, she would try her best to send her son back to the Qin family to become the young master of the Qin family.

The housekeeper and his servants had been waiting at the door for a long time, and they had already come to greet Qin Xiongfei.

Seeing the grandeur that was different from that of a small place, the mother and son were even more delighted.

In the back hall, Mrs. Qin Si was sitting in the middle, waiting for the newly entered concubine and concubine to serve tea.

Mrs. Qin Si didn't care about the concubine who was of some age, and the immature concubine couldn't catch her eye. Instead, she focused on asking the concubine in front of her - Qin Shao.

Mrs. Qin Si asked her mother to take Qin Shao's mother and brother away to settle down, leaving Qin Shao alone to talk.

"Have you ever read a book? What do you do to pass the time on weekdays?" Mrs. Qin Si did not threaten them. She even held Qin Shao's hand and asked her to sit next to her with a very affectionate and compassionate attitude.

Qin Shao's anxious heart gradually calmed down, and she replied softly: "I have never read a book, but I just know some words. I usually do some needlework with my mother to pass the time."

Mrs. Qin Si raised her eyebrows slightly, let go of Qin Shao's hand, and said lightly: "From now on, you must remember to call me aunt, and don't call me mother. Our family is a big family, with strict rules and many people. Don't do it." If the people in the other houses took advantage of you and laughed at you, it would also make your father and me lose face."

Qin Shao's uneasiness that had just calmed down immediately rose up, and even became stronger. He stood up and curtsied, saying, "My mother has taught me the lesson, and my daughter has learned the lesson."

Seeing that she was so well-behaved and obedient, Mrs. Qin Si sat down with her and held her hand again: "As long as you are obedient, mother will naturally love you, and she will find you a good husband, an absolutely high-class family." As a big family, even our Qin family has to climb high!"

Surprise flashed in Qin Shao's eyes, and she lowered her head shyly, ignoring the sarcasm and coldness in Mrs. Qin Si's eyes.
