Chapter 76
After seeing off Erfang's family and Jin Juyuan, Jin Liu and Mrs. Ru went back to the main courtyard.

After a busy day, Jin Liu went to bed after washing up. She thought she would fall asleep as soon as she touched the bed, but she had been lying on the bed for more than half an hour, but she couldn't fall asleep anyway, tossing and turning, thinking All he thought about was what the second lady said.

Jin Liu had long expected that the so-called Mr. Tan must have something special, otherwise the Da Furen would not have easily given up on the matter of mynah after giving him to Madam Ru, so she took the opportunity to personally I asked the second lady, but what the second lady said still made her a little confused.

Jin Liu turned around.

Looking at the appearance of the second lady, it seems that Mr. Tan has taken advantage of her. Otherwise, her face would not be so red, let alone be ashamed to speak. Tell the second master about this matter, but the second master clearly looks like he doesn't know anything, and strongly recommends Mr. Tan.

So the second lady was really taken advantage of by Mr. Tan!Jin Liu turned around again.

But if this is the case, why would the second wife tell her about this? Wouldn't that be sending evidence of her infidelity to her?The second lady is not so stupid!
So what is it?

Jin Liu rolled around on the bed, her mind was already a mess, but she didn't feel sleepy at all, because after tossing and turning, the blanket that was warmed by Mrs. Tang had become cold, making it even more difficult for her to fall asleep.

"Miss, why haven't you slept yet?" Bixi was on duty today and asked softly when she heard the movement coming in.

"The weather seems to be getting colder and colder." Jin Liu murmured, looking sideways at the tourmaline through the curtain.

Tourmaline rubbed her cold arms, glanced at the bright red brazier at the corner of the bed, and said, "Servant, go and cook another Tang Pozi for Miss."

"Yeah." Jin Liu responded, curling up, hoping that after burning Mrs. Tang, she would have a good night's sleep...

The backyard of Zhenbei Palace.

The weather continued to be cold, and the north wind blew the withered and yellow leaves rustling. Those who could not withstand the ravages of the north wind fell down one after another. With a flash of snow-white sword light, the leaves were cut in half and rolled up and fell by the north wind.

"My lord." A young boy in gray stood on the corridor, bowed and saluted.

As soon as the sound of the sword subsided, the white figure stood quietly in the courtyard, turned to look at the person coming, and asked, "Are you still refusing to eat for the past two days?"

"Go back to the lord, Miss Murong has already started to eat, yesterday someone sent rice porridge over, and Miss Murong drank all the rice porridge." The boy replied.

Qin Zhijian nodded, put the sword back into the scabbard, and walked up the corridor.

The servant greeted him sideways, followed behind Qin Zhijian, and said, "Miss Murong has already started taking medicine."

Qin Zhijian paused, "Medicine? Where did you get the medicine?"

"It's the medicine in the black jade box that the prince gave to Miss Murong last time." The servant bowed his head and replied.

"The ink jade box..." Qin Zhijian frowned slightly, could it be the ink jade box that Jin Liu asked him to give to Murong Shengxue?

A smile appeared on Qin Zhijian's face. He had heard rumors in the market that Jin Liu was a goddess doctor. He didn't expect that her medical skills were really good. Even her second uncle didn't dare to prescribe medicine easily. He prescribed medicine without even looking at it.

"What's the effect?" Qin Zhijian asked.

"The effect is very good. The rash on Miss Murong's face has subsided a lot, and the veil should be removed in a few days." The servant looked up at Qin Zhijian, then quickly lowered his head and said.

"Okay." Qin Zhijian replied, inexplicably relieved, "Go down!"

"Yes!" The servant replied, bowing and retreating.

Qin Zhijian calmed down, shook the sword in his hand, raised his feet and walked towards the study, and when he looked up, he saw Murong Shengxue standing at the end of the corridor, but he didn't keep his pace, and walked past her as if he didn't see her. .

"Is the lord so unwilling to see Shengxue?" Murong Shengxue asked sadly when Qin Zhijian was about to walk over. "It's been like this for a few days, why do you still care about Shengxue?"

Qin Zhijian stopped, but didn't look back, "Miss Murong should know why."

"Don't you just want to send me to him safe and sound?" Murong Shengxue turned around and looked at Qin Zhijian's tall and cold back, "But you clearly know that I don't have him in my heart! Why do you still treat me like this !"

Qin Zhijian turned around abruptly, a pair of deep pool-like black pupils stared closely at Murong Shengxue's eyes, his face was cold, "Miss Murong, don't say it as if this king forced you to come to Beijing, if you don't want to , I can send you back to Fuyuan!"

Murong Shengxue was shocked when he heard the words, and stretched out his hand to support the stone pillar beside him. He couldn't believe that Qin Zhijian would treat him like this, and stared at him blankly.

Qin Zhijian sneered, and looked at Murong Shengxue, "Miss Murong, don't look at me like this, haven't you already made a choice in your heart? Now that you have made your choice, please support me!"

"You..." Murong Shengxue felt pain in his heart, "That's because of you..."

"Miss Murong doesn't need to explain. After ten days, I believe the rash on Miss's face will disappear. At that time, the king will host a banquet and announce that Miss is a righteous sister. Please get ready!" Qin Zhijian didn't wait for Murong Shengxue. After finishing speaking, he opened his mouth to speak, turned and left without looking at her again after speaking.

Step sister?Is this how their relationship ends up?
Murong Shengxue looked at Qin Zhijian's disappearing figure, clenched her hands into fists, and didn't even feel her nails sinking into her palms, because the pain in her palms couldn't compare to the pain in her heart. Her face became ferocious, and she swore that one day, she would make Qin Zhijian regret it, she would!

As soon as Qin Zhijian arrived at the study, he saw Qin Yong, the housekeeper of the palace, standing at the door. Qin Zhijian glanced at the red post in his hand, pushed the door into the study, hung the sword on the wall, and then asked Said: "What's the matter?"

"My lord, it's a post from the old lady of the envoy's mansion." Qin Yong followed into the study and said.

"The envoy's residence?" Qin Zhijian paused, and Jin Liu's small face appeared in front of his eyes.

"The old lady of the envoy's mansion wants to borrow the tea grove in the palace to hold a birthday banquet for Miss Fifth." Qin Yong explained the purpose of the old lady's post. Seeing that Qin Zhijian didn't speak, he guessed that his trip was in vain. Yes, there are quite a few people who come to the palace to borrow tea forests every year, and they are all honorable families who have some friendship with Qin Zhijian. There is no relationship, why should the palace lend them another courtyard, besides...

"Reply to the old lady, and say that I agree." Qin Yong was still annoyed that he had done too much, Qin Zhijian sat down in front of the desk, and said suddenly.

"Ah?" Qin Yong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "But the days when the old lady of the envoy's mansion wants to borrow tea forests are exactly the days when Mr. Nan borrows tea forests..."

"Tell Nan Haojiang that Chalin won't lend him any more." Qin Zhijian said without thinking, looked up at Qin Yong, and frowned, "What? Do you have any opinions?"

"Slave dare not!" Qin Yong hurriedly said, wondering in his heart, Nan Haojiang is the second young master of the prime minister's family, and he himself has the official rank of the third rank. One of the people who spoke, often walked around the palace on weekdays, and when he wanted to borrow the tea forest, it was always a matter of one sentence. Why did Qin Zhijian push away the matter of Nanhaojiang this time for the sake of a young lady in a small courtyard? up?Could it be because his prince valued relatives and friends?

Qin Yong quickly opened the red post and took another look. The corner of his mouth twitched. It was clearly written that the Fifth Miss of the Jin family was only nine years old...

Qin Yong was puzzled by Qin Zhijian's actions, but Qin Zhijian didn't want to explain. He looked up at him and asked coolly, "Is there anything else?"

"No...no!" Qin Yong hurriedly said, just as he turned around to leave, Qin Zhijian stopped him again.

"I tell the people in the tea forest, don't neglect the birthday banquet of the fifth lady of the envoy's mansion!" Qin Zhijian said solemnly.

"Yes!" Qin Yong hurriedly agreed. Even if Qin Zhijian didn't specifically confess, Qin Yong didn't dare to treat the matter of Qin Zhijian pushing Nanhaojiang to the court's emissary mansion casually. After what he said, Qin Yong Be more cautious.

After crossing the one-foot-high threshold of the main courtyard, Nanny Liu quickened her pace and walked towards the main room. Zhu Xin came out of the room, just in time to see her stepping up the steps. Said: "Mommy, what's the matter, so happy."

Nanny Liu glanced at Zhu Xin with a smile, but without answering, she went into the Nuan Pavilion in the West Wing, and said happily, "Lady, the Palace has replied!"

The old lady was wearing a half-worn black jacket with narrow sleeves trimmed with silver and was sitting on the kang, holding a silver fork to make a snack, when she heard that the pastry on the silver fork didn't bother to put it into her mouth, she turned her head Looking at Nanny Liu, he asked, "Oh? How should I say it?"

"My lord agreed!" Liu Mama said with a smile, and put the reply from the palace in front of the old lady, "The old lady can see for herself!"

The old lady glanced suspiciously at Nanny Liu, and then at the reply on the Huanghuali carved kang table. It was indeed the seal of Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. Then she put down the silver fork in her hand and opened it. Looking down, her face Also full of smiles, said: "I just wanted to try it, but I didn't expect the prince to be so easy to talk to. If I knew this, I should go there myself."

"Old madam, since the prince agreed to borrow the tea forest, he doesn't mind these things!" Nanny Liu said with a smile. "The prince is really a good man. He not only agreed to escort us to the capital, but also agreed to borrow the tea grove. Everyone said that the king of Zhenbei has a cold face. Slaves, look at it. The prince does not care whether his face is cold or not, but his heart is warm. Will help us again and again."

The old lady nodded, and with a twitch of her mouth, said: "Fortunately, I tried the prince's side first, or I would go to the Bai family because of this idea. Didn't the Bai family look down on our Jin family and think we The Jin family can only rely on their Bai family to get things done!"

"But the meaning of the eldest lady is not..." Liu Mama looked at the old lady. The meaning of the eldest lady was obvious. She just wanted to take this opportunity to get involved with the Bai family. The Bai family helped the Jin family. The family naturally wanted to invite Bai Xiaoliu to Jin Xingxi's birthday banquet politely, but this matter has not gone through the Bai family, the Jin family can't come to invite Bai Xiaoliu for no reason, and the Bai family will naturally not rush to invite Bai Xiaoliu to attend It's a birthday party.

The old lady chuckled lightly when she heard the words, glanced at Nanny Liu, and said, "I heard that the sixth young master of the Bai family doesn't like to attend such banquets, even if we invited them, it might not be that he would come , but I'm afraid Mrs. Liu won't think so, that's all, I'll do one more useless thing to make her give up, Xiaoyun, prepare paper and pen!"

"Yes!" Nanny Liu responded, turned around and got ready for the four treasures of the study, brought it over, placed it on the Kang table, poured a few drops of water into the inkstone, and slowly rubbed out a thick black pool with the ink stick. fragrant ink.
