After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 261 He is a stain

Is it possible that Qin Xuan was not born to Mrs. Qin?
After coming back to her senses, Qiao Jingjing wondered, "How did you know?"

Lu Xingzhi told her in detail what happened in Qin's palace today.

Qiao Jingjing's heart tightened when she heard that Qin Xuan was slapped by Mrs. Qin.

She couldn't help but think of the young man's lonely and embarrassed look when she met Qin Xuan outside the hospital before going to Chuzhou.

At that time, she was still thinking, how could a proud man like Qin Xuan have injuries on his face? Who dared to hit him?

Thinking about it now, he must have been beaten by Mrs. Qin that time.

Thinking of this, her eyebrows tightened, and she felt a faint pain in her heart.

Such a young man with a clear breeze and bright moon should have been favored by all the stars and loved by his elders.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qin didn't take him seriously.

This is what they saw accidentally, and what kind of torture did the young man suffer in a place they couldn't see?
The image of the boy licking his wounds alone flashed through Qiao Jingjing's mind, and she couldn't help but feel a dull pain in her heart.

"Qin Xuan... he should have been beaten by Mrs. Qin more than once." When she said this, she couldn't help but clenched her fingers.

Lu Xingzhi didn't notice anything strange about her. Hearing this, he remembered what Qin Xuan said and nodded, "Yeah."

"But if Qin Xuan is not Mrs. Qin's child, then who is his biological mother? He obviously looks so similar to Mrs. Qin." Qiao Jingjing suppressed the strangeness in her heart and frowned.

Lu Xingzhi reminded, "You and Qin Xuan also look very similar."

Qiao Jingjing was startled. She thought of something and her heart beat rapidly, "By the way, that concubine..."

Lu Xingzhi said last time that the Duke of Qin said that Mrs. Qin once had a concubine, but she died young.

"Well, I've asked people to investigate, but no clues have been found yet," Lu Xinghe said.

Qiao Jing suddenly felt confused, "Could it be that Qin Xuan and I were both born to that concubine? If that's true, does Qin Guogong know?"

Lu Xingzhi couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of his reaction when he said those words to Duke Qin in the Duke of Qin's mansion just now, "He probably doesn't know."

"If Qin Xuan and I are really the children of that concubine, but Duke Qin doesn't know about it, then how did Mrs. Qin manage to hide it from Duke Qin?" Qiao Jingjing felt cold all over when she said this.

She suddenly felt that the truth might be very cruel.

Especially that concubine.

She died young. Was she killed or died of illness?
Thinking of the former, she felt stuffy and stuffy, and her face turned pale.

At this moment, a warm and dry hand held her cold little hand.

"These are just our guesses, they may not be true." The man comforted her gently.

Qiao Jingjing came back to her senses, yes, these are just speculations, not necessarily true.

But she had a vague feeling in her heart that they were getting close to the truth.

"Do you want to continue the investigation?" Lu Xingzhi suddenly asked.

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, raised her head, and met the man's vaguely worried eyes. Her eyes suddenly became firm and she nodded, "Yes, keep investigating. No matter what, I want to know the truth."

The truth may be cruel, but she cannot choose to escape just because she is afraid of the cruelty of the truth.

In case, she is really the child of the concubine, and the concubine's death is also related to Mrs. Qin, then only by finding out the truth can she rest in peace and give her justice.

"Okay." Lu Xingzhi responded warmly.

……

Duke's Mansion, darkroom.

The darkroom is a specially set up torture chamber in the Duke's Mansion.

Some of the more important prisoners will be taken here for interrogation.

At this time, Mrs. Qin was mentioned here by Qin Guogong. Although Qin Xuan hated Mrs. Qin, she was still his mother before the truth was found out.

So after hesitating for a moment, he followed him to the execution chamber.

But it's a step too late.

When he passed by, Qin Guogong had poured a bucket of water soaked in ice cubes on Mrs. Qin's body.

The biting cold awakened the unconscious Mrs. Qin.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Qin Guogong sitting on a chair nearby, looking at her indifferently, while cold torture instruments were hung on the walls around her.

Mrs. Qin's pupils shrank, and fear appeared on her face.

As the mistress of the Duke of Qin's mansion, she naturally knew that there was such a place in the mansion, but she had never set foot in it.

But why is she here now?
She didn't know what happened after she fell into coma. She noticed that her body was cold and wet, and she was still lying on the hard ground. She was shocked and angry at the moment, "What do you mean, Lord?"

Qin Xuan was about to take a step forward, but immediately retracted it and stood by the door watching.

The Duke of Qin naturally noticed that his son was following him, but he ignored him and said in a cold tone: "Ms. Yu, I don't want to say anything else. I just want to ask, was that girl in the cave that time you? "

Mrs. Qin had already struggled to get up.

She was already shivering from the cold, but after hearing his question, she felt even colder from the bottom of her heart.

But at this time, she knew she couldn't panic, otherwise everything would be over.

Thinking about it, she showed anger on her face and said in a hateful voice: "What do you mean by that? I was innocent when I wanted to leave, and it was you who caused me to get pregnant before I got married, but you, it was you who hurt me.

I am a young girl, and you have defiled me, and you still have the nerve to question me? In this case, you shouldn't have married me in the first place. "

Whenever Mrs. Qin said this, Duke Qin would feel guilty, and then he would tolerate her again and again.

But this time, he was indifferent. Instead, he looked at her sharply, "Ruo Xuan'er was really born to you in ten months of pregnancy. You should love him very much, but I didn't feel that you cared about him at all. Not even a trace.

Since you don't love him, you shouldn't have kept him when you were pregnant with him. "

Qin Xuan outside the door clenched his fists when he heard this.

It was the first time he heard his parents talk about the past.

It turns out that his mother had no choice but to conceive him...

A trace of discomfort flashed across Mrs. Qin's face, but she did not panic, but said: "Why am I not treating Xuan'er well? Isn't it all because of you? He is the stain you left on me.

I, a girl who has not yet left the court, was defiled by you and became pregnant. Do you think I shouldn't hate you and this child? "

Qin Xuanjun's face was pale and bloodless.

It turns out that in my mother's eyes, he is a stain...

Duke Qin looked at Mrs. Qin coldly, "I had no choice but to do that thing back then. Someone plotted against me, and it was my fault that caused you harm. But how can I remember that when I found the Yu family, you clearly Such joy."

Mrs. Qin's expression froze, but she quickly added: "Of course I am happy. I had already given birth to a child out of wedlock at that time. If you didn't come, who else would be willing to marry me?"

Seeing her plausive appearance, Qin Guogong frowned imperceptibly.

But he still felt that there was something hidden about what happened back then.

Just as he was about to say something else, he saw that the young man by the door had quietly walked away.

His heart sank, and he stood up and said: "I will investigate this matter again. If I have wronged you, I will apologize to you. But if I find out that what you said and done are all lies, then I will also I won’t let you go.” After that, he walked out quickly.

As soon as he left, Mrs. Qin's legs weakened and she fell to the ground, panic rising in her heart.

But she quickly thought that she had done things so cleanly back then, even if Qin Moyuan wanted to investigate, there was no way she would do anything else.

Besides, who would have known that the Yu family actually gave birth to twin girls?
