Chapter 93 Playing
He had an idea in his mind.

Miss Hong looked at Qin Mingxu nervously. She fully thought that Qin Mingxu would be shocked if she revealed such a big secret, and then begged her to continue.She can take this secret, sell it for a good price, and save her brother.She no longer has to ask for money from Zou Cheng and take food from the tiger's mouth.

But no.

Qin Mingxu drank a cup of tea slowly, and the tips of a few tea leaves rose and fell in the green tea soup.He blew open the tea leaves and ripples appeared in the cup.

After taking a sip, he said: "Guanshi Zou is a well-known and important person in the uncle's house, and he is deeply trusted by the uncle. How dare you, a prostitute, spread rumors like this to harm me?"

The red girl thought a lot, but she didn't expect Qin Mingxu's reaction.

She stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, saying anxiously: "You don't believe it? I can swear to you. I swear, if one word of mine is false, God will strike me with lightning and kill me..."

Qin Mingxu stood up, threw her away, walked out of the concierge, and called sternly: "Butler, come here!"

The butler hurriedly came over, leaned over and said, "Master, please give me your orders."

"Call five or six boys to carry the crazy woman inside and throw her out!" Qin Mingxu ordered.

"Yes!" the housekeeper agreed, and with a wave of his hand, several boys rushed over and lifted up Miss Hong.

Miss Hong shouted: "Mr. Qin, everything I say is true. If you don't believe me, you will regret it!"

She was thrown to the snow outside with great force by the boy, lying on her back. She grinned in pain and cursed: "The surname is Qin! It's you who killed me! You are so stupid, you shame the immortal! Bah! Silver likeness Pewter spear head! Looks good, but useless!"

The door of Qin Mansion closed with a bang.

Qin Mingxu called the short and capable servant who accompanied him to the bride-grooming, and whispered: "Follow that woman secretly. Remember, keep a distance and don't expose her."

That servant was his confidant, the most powerful person among the servants of the Qin Mansion.He quickly understood what his master meant, nodded, ducked, and slipped out of the dog hole at the base of the wall without anyone noticing.

Outside, behind a big tree, several people kept staring at the movement at the door of Qin Mansion.From the time Miss Hong entered the house until she was thrown out, the eyes of those few people did not leave her even an inch.

Qin Mingxu stood behind the closed door, holding his hands tightly.

Hehe, the red girl is of a slender figure. Why did she need to use so many servants to make such a big fuss when she was kicked out?
He just thought, the more obvious the better.

The bigger the movement, the better.

The worse it was for Miss Hong to be thrown out, the more those who followed her became convinced that he, Qin Mingxu, would not believe anything she said.

Through the messy words of the red girl, Qin Mingxu sorted out the general outline.

His father's death is related to Zou Cheng.Zou Cheng paid and asked Miss Hong to help cover it up.Originally, this was a business where everyone got what he wanted, and it has been a long time coming.

However, Miss Hong has encountered difficulties recently. Her brother owes a large gambling debt, 8000 taels, and the other party threatens to chop off his hands and feet if he cannot pay out the money.Miss Hong couldn't come up with the money at once. She had no choice but to think of Zou Cheng.

She took a desperate risk and wanted to ask for money to save her brother.She thought she had leverage over Zou Cheng, and threatened Zou Cheng with both soft and hard tactics.Is Zou Cheng someone willing to be threatened?Miss Hong couldn't get the money, so she said she was going to the Qin family to tell the truth.

So, there was a chase scene in the back alley.

It snows heavily today. Every household in Yangzhou City closes early, and the roads are sparsely populated.A woman with fireworks died on the street, pretending to be a love murder, and no one would take her seriously.

But, who knows, Qin Mingxu bumps into him.

The pursuit in the alley was blocked. According to Zou Chengs usual caution, he would never use the same method to kill people again.

He will be more careful.

He would only make the next move if the Qin family didn't believe Miss Hong's words.

The expulsion of the red girl and her scolding can give Zou Cheng a dose of reassurance.

It is difficult to pretend to be so realistic.

Therefore, it is best that the red girl has no idea about Qin Mingxu's attitude.

Qin Mingxu slowly walked into the yard, and Yingtao came to greet him wearing a red coat: "Father, why are you back so late today? Mother Yu stewed your favorite chicken soup. We have been waiting for you for a long time."

Qin Mingxu picked her up, took out a soufflé candy from his arms and fed it to her mouth: "Today my foster father went to the ferry to deliver goods. He was so busy that he forgot the time. He should be punished."

"Soft candies! I said I wanted to eat soufflés in the morning, and my adoptive father brought them back in the evening!" Cherry smiled.

Qin Mingxu pinched her nose: "How can I not take what my eldest lady said to heart?"

The father and daughter were talking and laughing as they walked through the corridor and walked into the room.

I supported my waist with one hand and the door frame with the other, waiting for them.She was over five months into her pregnancy, but her belly was surprisingly big. The doctor said it looked like other people were eight months pregnant.When I got up from the bed, I felt quite heavy.

Return to people on a snowy night.

There was a vast expanse of white in the courtyard, and a large group of people, one small and one small, came towards me.

A snowflake fell on my eyelashes.As time goes by, the world becomes twilight.Just trickling, flowing day and night.

I suddenly felt very attached to this moment.

I am just an ordinary woman, longing for the warmth that trickles down and oozes out day after day.Husband, children, relatives, three meals a day, peace and stability all year round.

"Sang Yu, I've told you many times not to wait for me." Qin Mingxu put down the cherry and helped me sit down: "I will be annoyed if you make soup with your own hands again."

I said: "It doesn't matter. The doctor said that if you move more during pregnancy, you will have a better future."

Cherry clapped her little hands: "Father, I will testify for Yu Niang that the doctor did say it."

Qin Mingxu squatted down, put his ear against my belly, felt the fetal movement, and said, "What a lively baby."

I laughed: "That's right. Very naughty. Moves frequently."

The three of them had dinner together, washed and rested.

Qin Mingxu hugged me and said, "Sangyu, it's freezing cold now. You should stay away from the wine shop. What should I do if I fall?"

I nodded and said, "Well, that kid from Xifeng is getting more and more capable of doing things. I'm raising my baby at home, so I can rest assured." "I heard that there is a Hakka steady woman in Guangfu who is very smart. I have already sent someone to invite her. You are due to give birth at the end of March next year, so we prepare early so that I can feel at ease." He said.

I laughed: "You actually said the same thing as Feng Gao. I received his letter three days ago, and he said that the midwife was on her way to Yangzhou."

"Oh? Mr. Feng really cares about us." He gently stroked my hair.

I tucked the corner of Tao Tao's quilt and said, "You guys are impatient. There are still more than four months left, and it's early."

The wind made the window lattice whistle.

I lay in his arms and fell asleep.

In human matters, there is no greater joy than life, and no greater sorrow than death. Life and death are endless reincarnations.This beautifully decorated Qin Mansion would be more vivid and gentle if there were the cries of a newborn baby.

The drums are beating louder, long and desolate in the snowy night.

Miss Hong stumbled into a small house in Nanshi.

There was a young man in the room who was about [-] or [-] years old. He rushed up to him and said, "Sister, you are back! You have been out for so long, and I am starving. I dare not go out for fear of being caught... "

Miss Hong spat and said: "Where can I find a treasure like you in this world! You are a heartless thief! You can't live a good life, so you have to bet like others! You bet all the money I spent on making jokes, so why not?" You have caused such a big disaster! If I had known today, when my mother gave birth to you, I should have boiled you to death and come clean!"

She scolded and cried.

Even so, she still took out a few hot buns from her arms and handed them to him.In order to make him eat it warm, she put the steamed bun in her arms and never took it out for a moment, her chest was so hot that it hurt.

After all, he is her biological brother.

The eldest sister is like a mother.

Even if he was confused and unsatisfactory in every possible way, how could she be so cruel as to leave him alone?

The young man wolfed down the buns and asked, "Sister, have you got the money?"

He didn't seem to notice the stains on her skirt, her embarrassed state, or her injuries at all. He was only thinking about himself.

Miss Hong said: "No...sister, I will think of other solutions tomorrow..."

She hugged her brother and said sternly: "Sister, even if I dismantle the bones and sell them, I can't watch you have your hands and feet broken off..."

The door was flung open.

A man's voice was as warm as coal.

"How can I bear to see you tearing your bones apart and selling them? Miss Hong, you are too angry. We, Manager Zou, only joked with you a few times, but you took it seriously. Tsk tsk tsk. Hitting is love, scolding is love, we Zou The manager is thinking about you."

Miss Hong looked up and saw a boy belonging to Zou Cheng.

She hurriedly said: "Don't mess around! I want to shout! This is a busy city! Every quarter of an hour there are patrolling officers and soldiers passing by! If you kill me, you won't be able to get out of here! The worst is, we will kill each other!"

She had this in mind when she chose this place as her temporary shelter.

"Who said I'm here to kill you? I'm here to help you." The boy said with a face.

The red girl looked at him warily.

The boy continued: "Guanshi Zou has already planned to pay off your brother's gambling debt."

"Really?" Miss Hong didn't believe it.

The boy took out an IOU from his sleeve, with the words "Cailefang" clearly written on it.

It is indeed my brother's IOU.

Miss Hong stretched out her hand to grab it, and the servant took two steps back: "Miss Hong, what are you in a hurry for? Don't you know the rules of the gambling house? You can settle the account only by making a bet with two people. Tomorrow, Manager Zou will be waiting for you in Liuyunxiang of Cailefang. Siblings."

The red girl remained silent.

The boy said: "What? You don't dare to go? You don't want to save your brother?"

Red girl said: "Go! I'll go!"

She really had no other options to think of and was desperate.

The boy smiled and said, "Okay, let's make an agreement."

"It's settled." Red Girl replied.

In the windy and snowy night, the moonlight looked a little blurry.The whole city of Yangzhou is bright and clean, and the lights are turned off when people sleep.The cool breeze blows on the snow-covered branches, shaking down the tiny but stubborn snow foam, making a rustling sound.

In the middle of the night, the short and capable servant returned to the concierge, where Qin Mingxu was waiting for him.

After he finished reporting, Qin Mingxu said: "Tomorrow, Cailefang will make arrangements."

Just a few words.

The servant understands.

"Yes."

Qin Mingxu walked back to the room and lay down.My wife and daughter are sleeping soundly.My wife’s swollen belly looks like a full moon.

Will be fine.

Everything will be fine.

It's your own business.Once you get over it, you'll be fine.

Peach blossoms grow in spring water.Next March, the peach blossoms will bloom and the baby will come.He will be the happiest person in the world.
