Chapter 48 Gusu Qin Family
"forget."

Xin Wei refused to say that person's name. As long as he couldn't take this breath, he would feel guilty in his heart.

"Jiang Qingyue, I can investigate even if you don't tell me," Shen Xiao said word by word, "Since you have complained to the Yamen, there will be records in the case file."

Xin Wei said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

No matter who it was, he would have died at that time.

The man was kicked to death, so he hated her and killed her. If she didn't fight back desperately, she would be the one who died.

Fortunately, the man was a scoundrel and had no relatives. He was buried everywhere and no one cared about his disappearance.

Shen Xiao seemed to have a severe headache, his eyes were closed, his brows were furrowed, and he rubbed his temples with his long fingers for a long time.In the quiet darkness, three steps away, his uncomfortable breathing could be clearly heard.

"I have settled you down."

A sarcastic smile appeared on Xin Wei's lips, but she soon calmed down, her expression uncertain: "It is indeed great to be Qin's concubine, but I don't want to."

Shen Xiao didn't see her expression and said to himself: "If you are willing to commit yourself to him, he will treat you well and live up to you."

He added: "If you don't want to, he won't force you. Just treat Qin Mansion as a place of refuge."

Given the reputation of the Qin Mansion, its high moral character and reclusiveness, it was indeed a suitable place to go.

What's more, he was suppressing her with the power of the emperor, how could Qin Gu bully her.

But she didn't appreciate his self-righteous arrangement at all.

Xin Wei said: "My mother told me since I was a child that you can marry a poor person, but you cannot be a concubine."

Concubines are bought and sold, no different from slaves.

My father used to say that he spent a lot of money just to get his daughter to marry the best man in Daxia.If there is no man to trust, I would rather not marry than become a concubine or a slave.

"You do not know……"

Shen Xiao was about to speak but stopped.

Half a year after settling her in the Qin Mansion in Suzhou, Shen Xiao suddenly received news that she was missing, so Shen Xiao sent more manpower to look for her.During the days when there was no news, he felt uneasy. It was not until he found someone in Suzhou two months later that he felt relieved.

It's just that he didn't delve into what happened in the past two months.He just thinks that people are safe and sound.

"That's it," Shen Xiao said tiredly, "Go back and rest."
-
A dynasty of flowing water, a family of iron.

Whenever there is a change of dynasty, people in Gusu often use this sentence to talk about the Qin family in Gusu.

The Gusu Qin family has been prominent in this continent for hundreds of years. It has gone through several dynasties and produced four prime ministers, two queens, and countless officials, large and small.

Since the Great Xia Dynasty, officials of the Qin family have spread all over the country, but the head of the Qin family has shunned the world.By this generation, the head of the family, Qin Gu, was even more of an idler. He advocated aloof from the world and devoted himself to living a life of wine and meat. This did not prevent the Qin family from still being famous and no one dared to offend.

"It's hard work and hard work, red frost dyes Wei, you will be called Xin Wei from now on, how about this name?"

Qin Gu's face was filled with a look of self-reliance, as if he had an amazing name.

He was probably in his early teens, with handsome features, golden-crown hair, and a bright and youthful look. His youthful spirit had not faded, and he was looking at her with piercing eyes at this moment.

She blurted out the words at the scene: "This is a very good name. Mr. Qin is really talented in literature and extraordinary in conversation."

Qin Gu was very satisfied with her answer and explained seriously: "Although you are sent by the emperor, you can't misbehave in my backyard. I don't like the jealous and scheming behavior of women in the backyard. As long as you don't cause trouble, I will Treat you well."

After staying in this house for five or six days, I saw the head of the Qin family, who beat her as soon as he came.

Xin Wei met his gaze and said without timidity: "The Emperor should have told me that you must treat me well."

"You stay safe and behave yourself. I will not disobey the emperor's instructions."

Qin Gubi stood straight, with a hint of arrogance in his tone, "You should also know that my concubine either has a good background or is beautiful and is deeply liked by me, so she cannot bear to be wronged."

He thought to himself, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so what's the big deal if he just threatens her with a few words to establish his authority.She said perfunctorily: "I know."

Qin Gu's tone seemed to conclude that she was a cunning and mean person who would definitely disturb the peace in her backyard.

Probably the emperor mentioned her a few words by the way in the explanation given to him.She doesn't have a good temper, but she has no interest in the Qin Mansion's backyard, so there is no need to be mean.

Qin Gu's tone softened and he said casually: "You're quite pretty. I'll take care of you tonight. Get ready."

As a concubine, it is natural for her to share the same room.

Xin Wei suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking anxiously about what to do. Before he walked out of the door, Xin Wei said, "Did the emperor say when he would take me back?"

"Go back?" Qin Gu paused and said amusedly, "Do you think you can still go back?"

People have been sent over, telling her to stay and take care of her, not to treat her badly, and not to let her run away. How can she make it possible to return to Jinling City?
Xin Wei said without changing her expression: "After all, we had an affair when the Emperor was still the Ninth Prince. The Meng family persecuted me so hard that I had to leave Jinling City, but from now on..."

"Child-daughter affair?" Qin Gu's deer-tailed eyes opened in disbelief, and he looked embarrassed, "You and the Emperor?"

"Didn't the emperor tell you?" Xin Wei asked confused.

As a result, Qin Gu stood there and thought for a moment, with complicated eyes, and then said: "I understand."

He was not in a hurry to question. The emperor's past affairs should not be considered a secret in Jinling City. The Qin family's power was spread all over the country, so he could naturally find out.

Xin Wei asked anxiously: "So tonight..."

"Let's talk about it later."

Qin Gu glanced at her meaningfully, a bit regretful, but left decisively.

After he left, Xin Wei squatted down against the wall.

Although she didn't want to mention that past event at all, it was the only past event that could make Qin Gu avoid her.

He would never touch the emperor's woman.

Five days later, Qin Gu asked her to have a meal in his courtyard.

The wine and food in the Qin Mansion are excellent, and they are all delicacies from the mountains and seas. Whatever is expensive is served on the table, and the cooking skills are comparable to those in the imperial dining room.

There was a table full of more than 20 dishes, but only the two of them ate.

Qin Gu dismissed the servants and toasted her with wine: "It turns out that she is the apple of Jiang Changgong's eye. I am disrespectful and disrespectful."

Xin Wei heard from his words that he had no prejudice against her father and herself. She raised the glasses to each other, her heart tightening, and the hand holding the wine glass couldn't help but exert strength.

"My father was convicted, wasn't he?"

It has been more than ten days since I left Jinling, and the matter should have come to an end.

Qin Gu said sincerely: "I'm sentenced to exile."

Xin Wei thought for a long time and said calmly: "It can be considered a blessing among misfortunes."

Qin Gu comforted her in a warm voice: "If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood."

Xin Wei drank the wine in the glass and said sincerely: "Thank you."

Thanks to him for being willing to call him "Jiang Chang Gong" even now.

At first, there were ministers who could speak a word of justice for his father, but then they gradually lost their voice. The calls to convict and severely punish Mr. Jiang Chang, with an unending murderous intent, pressed against his father like an overwhelming force.

After her father was detained in Dali Temple pending trial, there was a lot of curses from the government and the public. She could hear people yelling at her while walking on the road, calling her a eunuch's daughter.
