Chapter 173 The lingering Qiao Yuyue
"I heard that Prince Chen colluded with Lu's salt merchants to sell private salt, and was exposed by Mr. Cheng Ge. The emperor was furious, and put Prince Chen under house arrest, arrested relevant people, and strictly investigated the case!" Hua Yu danced and danced. , showing off the news in front of Yingchu vividly.

"Where did you hear this news?" Yingchu asked, even if this kind of news wasn't a secret, it wasn't something Hua Yu, a young girl with nowhere to go, could get it.

Hua Yu's expression collapsed, then he hummed and said, "Brother Qinghe heard about it."

Seeing his unconvinced expression, Ying Chu smiled, Hua Yu is a serious little adult to the outside world, but often shows a childish side in front of her.

Hua Yu said enviously: "Sister, don't look at my brother who often has a sullen face. He bribes those young men with high-level eyes. I don't know how good he is. He can ask what he wants to know in a few words. How can I?" I don’t have this ability, and few people are willing to buy my account.”

Yingchu also knows this about Qinghe. Since he recognized him as his younger brother, Qinghe no longer pretends to be a fool, and gradually begins to emerge.

Hua Yu's temperament can be regarded as a relatively straightforward type, but Qing He is different. He is flexible, scheming, and will buy people's hearts.With the money given by Yingchu to open the way, he quickly got along with some nobles from aristocratic families, and gathered some available people under his command.

If Qinghe hadn't learned the way of employing people since childhood, then he would have been born to be a talent who can control people and deal with things.

Qing He comforted Hua Yu without any sincerity: "It doesn't matter, you are better than me in martial arts."

Hua Yu became proud: "Of course, Big Brother Qi praised me for my talent in martial arts!"

Qinghe gave Hua Yu a sweet date, and after comforting him, he said to Yingchu: "Sister, because of the death of his granddaughter, Mr. Cheng Ge insisted on biting Prince Chen, and the Queen Mother repeatedly put pressure on the Cheng family. It's really not wise to lose less, this kind of play that hurts both sides. Boss Cheng Ge will not lose the interests of the entire family for the sake of a granddaughter, what is the key to this?"

Yingchu smiled faintly: "Naturally, there are greater interests ahead, so Mr. Cheng Ge would rather offend the Queen Mother at any cost."

Qinghe understood instantly, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.This greater benefit can only be afforded by the one sitting on the dragon chair. It is rumored that the emperor and Prince Chen have a deep brotherhood, but it turns out that it is only superficial.

The so-called royal.Qinghe's eyes showed disdain and hatred.

Yingchu showed a pensive look. Even if Mr. Cheng Ge wanted to catch Li Cangze, it was impossible to find out in such a short time. It was very likely that someone pushed him secretly.

Thinking of this person, Qi Changjin's name immediately popped into Yingchu's mind.Without any evidence, Yingchu had an intuition that it was him.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, Qi Changjin came to pick up Yingchu early in the morning.

Because she was going to pay homage to her aunt, Yingchu wore a moon-white double-breasted satin jacket with pipa buttons, and a light blue skirt embroidered with a whole pear blossom tree underneath. Her dark hair like a crow's feather was tied up with a two-color ribbon to form an ingot. There is no powder and daisy on the topknot, and there is no decoration of gold, silver, pearls and jade.

Qi Changjin watched her walking towards him, his eyes blurred for a moment. Although Yingchu's appearance is not stunning, but her skin is very good. When they are dressed in fancy clothes, they have a different charm.

Qi Anru also stared blankly for a moment, thinking that Hua Yingchu was also very beautiful, but when she thought that she had forcibly occupied the position of his sister-in-law, this thought disappeared immediately, and she was not pleasing to the eyes.

"It's such a big air, to make my brother and I wait so long!" Qi Anru said, "If you don't have the sincerity to pay homage to my mother, just say so!"

"Anru!" Qi Changjin scolded, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Qi Anru was subconsciously sarcastic just now, but only now did she realize that they are already "good sisters", and quickly changed into a guilty expression: "Sister Yingchu, don't be angry, I feel a little sad because I think of my mother, isn't it? I deliberately angered you."

Yingchu smiled: "It's okay, it's true that I'm late and kept you waiting."

Qi Changjin said: "No, we have just arrived."

Qi Anru stepped forward and took Yingchu's arm: "Sister Yingchu, let's get in the carriage, it's getting late, we have to hurry up, or we won't be able to miss the auspicious time!"

Inside and outside the words, it was still alluding to Yingchu for wasting their time.

Yingchu acted as if he couldn't understand what she meant, so he stepped on the ottoman and got into the carriage.

The three of them rode in a carriage, followed by a truck full of offerings, and were escorted by a team of guards out of the capital.

After traveling for more than one mile, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the coachman said outside: "Young Master, there is a carriage from the Grand Master's Mansion ahead, blocking the middle of the road, it seems that there is something wrong."

As soon as Yingchu heard about Grand Master's Mansion, she had a premonition, and sure enough, there was a maid shouting outside: "Is General Qi in the carriage? My eldest lady was planning to go to offer incense, but the carriage broke down, General Qi, please help me!"

"It's Sister Yue!" Qi Anru hurriedly got out of the carriage.

Qi Changjin and Yingchu couldn't sit in the car anymore, so they both got out.

Looking at Qiao Xiyue holding hands with Qi Anru, with an excited and happy face, Yingchu couldn't help but feel admiration in her heart. Qiao Xiyue is really attached to Qi Changjin, and she can't get rid of her no matter where she goes.

"Brother Qi!" Qiao Yuyue called Qi Changjin happily, and then it seemed as if she had just discovered Yingchu behind her, "Sister Yingchu is also here, don't get me wrong, I'm used to calling Brother Qi, I changed it for a while. You don’t mind if you can’t speak, do you?”

Yingchu smiled lightly: "Of course I don't mind, Ms. Qiao and Anru are like sisters, so they are equivalent to Mr. Qi's half sister."

Qiao Aiyue smiled stiffly, and changed the subject, "Are you going to worship Aunt Su?" Aunt Su refers to Qi Changjin's mother, her surname is Su, and Qiao Aiyue called her Aunt Su since she was a child.

"Yeah," Qi Anru said in a surprised tone, "How did Sister Yue know?"

"Today is Aunt Su's death day, how could I not know it?" Qiao Xiyue said with a sad expression, "Aunt Su has treated me very well since I was a child, and I can't repay him, so I copied a few scriptures and planned to serve him in front of the Buddha. Aunt Su prayed."

She said, pinching the Buddhist scriptures in her sleeve seemingly unintentionally.

Qi Anru took out the Buddhist scriptures and said emotionally: "Brother, look at how caring sister Yue is. Not only did she copy so many scriptures herself, she also went to the temple to pay homage to her mother."

"Thank you Miss Qiao." Qi Changjin said coldly.If he was sincere, even if he had nothing, he would still be grateful for Qiao Xiyue's kindness, but if he had other intentions, this thick pile of Buddhist scriptures would be nothing more than false feelings.

Qiao Yingyue didn't see Qi Changjin's indifference, or rather, he had always been so indifferent to her.She blushed slightly, and said shyly, "Brother Qi, you are being polite, I just did what I should do."
