Chapter 12:

After leaving the palace gate, Yu Ping saw Qin Zening standing next to a red horse.
The young man in a blue robe is only seventeen or eighteen years old, with sword eyebrows like ink, eyes like stars, plump and handsome, the wind blows, and the black hair ends flying freely, showing a bit of frivolousness and will.
"Master Qin."
Yu Ping shook off the whisk in his hand, held his hand to Qin Zening, and conveyed the meaning of Queen Wei to him.
Qin Zening was silent while pursing his thin lips.
He also understands that now is not a good time to take his sister back.
After all, the mansion still doesn't know about this. Besides, there is a counterfeit there, and it must be cleaned up!
Qin Zening flicked a bright light across his eyes and arched his hand to Yu Ping: "Please tell the empress, I know what to do."
Qin Zening led the errands of the guards of the first four ranks. When the emperor asked him to look up Qin Jiu's origin in Jianglin Palace, he still didn't know the empress's intentions.
It wasn't until he arrived in Jiangyu County, Yuzhou, to investigate a little bit, that he gradually discovered this cruel truth.
His sister was actually replaced by two evil-minded people!
Not only was his sister replaced, she was also tortured, humiliated, and almost ruined for a lifetime.
Qin Zening rushed back to the capital from Jiangyu County as quickly as possible, and reported everything he found to the emperor. Originally, he wanted to pick up his sister and return to Beijing in person, but the Queen’s aunt was worried that she would be scared and ran away. I took my sister back this time...
In his thoughts, Qin Zening had already returned to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion.
After throwing the horse to the young man, Qin Zening went to Mrs. Qin's Ronghetang with a clear goal.
"Big Brother."
On the road, Qin Zening met Qin Xin, and Qin Xin was also heading to Ronghetang.
Today’s Qin Xin wears a red begonia embroidered with green branches and plums, with a pink pleated skirt under her head. Her black and thick hair is tied to her double maidservants, and her temples wear two pink jade bead flowers with a big palm. His small face is brighter than snow, and when he smiles, his eyebrows are crooked and bright and moving.
"Big Brother," Qin Xin smiled affectionately towards Qin Zening, "You came back so early today. I'm going to my grandmother's place, let's get together."
Qin Zening looked at her blankly, his eyes deep.
Once, he regarded her as a treasure left by his parents and cared for her in every possible way.
But now, when I think of Qin Xin growing up in Hou Mansion with honor and honor, while her biological parents are torturing his sister day by day, a hatred comes from Qin Zening's heart.
Qin Xin was almost four years old when she arrived at this home, did she know...
Qin Xin was a little dazed by his eyes, and he hesitated: "Brother, what's the matter with you?"
Qin Zening said nonchalantly: "Mother's memorial day is coming soon. I will rest in two days. You and I will go to Huangjue Temple and give my mother a pillar of incense."
Qin Xin responded hurriedly: "Then I will ask someone to prepare alms."
Qin Zening was noncommittal.
He walked forward with Qin Xin's pace, and while walking, he said meaningfully: "My mother always missed you when she was alive, and she would never look down on you until she died, saying that she would stay in the sun, guarding you, watching Looking at you..."
At this time, it was dusk, and the sky was a dull gray blue.
Under the eaves, a few lanterns swayed slightly in the evening breeze, and the candlelight seemed bright and dark.
A cool breeze blew, Qin Xin couldn't help but shudder.
She subconsciously avoided Qin Zening's gaze, and said with a smile: "Big brother, I have returned, and my mother must have rested in peace."
"Really?" Qin Zening paused deliberately, a cold smile appeared on the corners of his lips, and slowed down his speech, "My daughter has been exchanged, how can my mother rest in peace?!"
There was an obvious panic in Qin Xin's eyes, but he soon calmed down, and said, "Big Brother, what are you talking about!"
At this moment, Qin Xin's expression gave Qin Zening the answer, and he didn't guess wrong.
Qin Zening looked at her directly and said sharply: "You are not my sister!"
He is sure, Qin Xin knows!
Qin Xin knew she was a fake! She and her biological parents are just the same thing!
A sharp sharp burst from Qin Zening's dark pupils, his eyes flashing like electricity.
Qin Xin also realized that he had lost his temper, and took a step towards Qin Zening, trying to make up for it, "Big Brother..."
"Don't call me big brother." Qin Zening stepped back, looked at Qin Xin in disgust, and emphasized again, "You are not my sister!"
After speaking, he walked away without looking back, his steps were firm, and his long back showed determination.
Qin Xin stood on the spot in a panic, squeezing the veil in his hand at a loss, his eyes flickering.
Shuxiang, a close-fitting maid, looked at a loss, and said cautiously: "Girl, what's the matter with the uncle? Why do you suddenly lose your temper at you?"
Qin Xin did not answer, her face was uncertain.
What went wrong, why did Qin Zening know? !
Qin Xin's face was green and white.
In the last life, in the third year after she came to the Hou Mansion, she was discovered by her grandfather and ruined everything.
Later, Qin Jiu was found back and became a daughter of the Hou Family.
As for her, she was beaten into the dust by birth, her biological parents were sentenced to exile, and she was also expelled from the Hou Mansion, exiled to Lingnan with her parents, and tortured...
Even God pityed her and gave her a chance to start again!
In this life, she made every effort to make her way to this point. Why would Qin Zening know about this? !
why? !
Qin Xin's eyes turned slightly, and he suddenly thought of the girl he met in Qingyun County.
At that time, she felt that the girl looked a little like Qin Jiao. Later, she thought that after the second prince checked it, she could ask the girl what was written on the guide.
However, the second prince was scolded by the emperor and was fined not to go out of the palace. Even she did not see him again, so naturally the matter would not stop.
Could it be that the girl is really Qin Jiu? !
Did she come here?
Qin Xin's heart was flustered.
She clenched a fist, and finally calmed down a little, her waist straightened.
She finally got everything she has now, and she must not let them harm her again!
Now it is different from the previous life, she is now the second prince concubine bestowed by the imperial edict, and the Qin family will not easily let her go!
Qin Xin settled his mind and speeded up his steps towards Ronghetang.
"Second girl."
Outside the Dongci room of Ronghetang, a curtained little maid bowed to Qin Xin with a complicated expression.
Qin Xin "cocked" in his heart and thought: Wouldn't Qin Zening have already told his wife? ! He is too casual to do things, don't he know to expel these servants first? Where did he put her face! !
The little maid opened the curtain for her.
Qin Xin left the scholarly fragrance outside, and when he entered the east room, he heard Qin Zening say coldly: "...it's time to return to their respective positions!"
Mrs. Qin Tai was sitting on a red sandalwood Arhat bed, her lips pursing her face like water, Qin Zening stood in front of her with her back facing Qin Xin.
"Big Brother..." Qin Xin called out, her voice trembling slightly.
Qin Zening didn't look at her, and said coldly: "It's not that any cat or dog can call me eldest brother."
Qin Xin's eye sockets turned red all of a sudden, Bian Bei Yufang bit her delicate lower lip, resisting tears from falling.
For ten years of family love, she called him his eldest brother for a whole decade. Isn't their brother and sister relationship inferior to the mere blood relationship?
Mrs. Qin Tai has always loved Qin Xin, the granddaughter, and couldn't help but blame Qin Zening: "Brother Ning, don't talk to your sister like this!"
"Grandma, she is not my sister." Qin Zening turned sideways and raised her finger to Qin Xin, with a cold and disgusting expression. "It was her despicable parents who replaced my sister and tortured her in every possible way, arbitrary. Beat and scold."
"Even if I have a dog, I won't bite me back!" Qin Zening was colder than words.
"Brother Ning!" Mrs. Qin's brows furrowed tighter, and she didn't want to believe what Qin Zening said was true.
But Qin Zening couldn't talk nonsense about such a big matter.
Mrs. Qin Tai was upset. She still remembered that Qin Xin was only four years old when she picked up her house. She was a small, well-behaved and clever girl, like a dumpling.
The eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law had gone early, so she put Qin Xin under her lap, and she even took the name herself.
She watched the child grow up slowly, calling her grandmother sweetly, coaxing herself to be happy.
This granddaughter is her pistachio, her little padded jacket, how could she put it down and put it down!
Even if the Li family is at fault, Qin Xin is innocent!
How could this crime be imposed on Qin Xin!
"Grandma." Qin Xin gratefully looked at Mrs. Qin Tai, her eyes reddened.
She knew that her filial piety to her grandmother would not be in vain. For the past ten years, she has been with her grandmother to be filial. What did Qin Jiu do? ! Why should she take everything from herself when she comes back? !
Qin Zening raised his sword eyebrows and said, "Grandma, when my parents were alive, it was my poor sister that I would never forget. My sister has suffered for more than ten years for nothing, but this counterfeit is delicious in the Hou Mansion. Don’t you be afraid that my parents won’t look down?"
That year, the Qin family was exiled to Minzhou.
The maritime bandits in Minzhou are rampant, and the local guards often force them to exile criminals to suppress the bandits. Qin Jue is the eldest son, and Qin Zhun is sick from time to time because of the hard life in Minzhou, so every time he conscripts It was Qin Jue who went, until Qin Jue died in a bandit.
At that time, Wei was still pregnant, so he was stimulated and gave birth prematurely. Wei's dystocia caused heavy bleeding after giving birth to Qin Zeyu.
But in just a few days, Qin Zening became an orphan without a father or mother.
Mrs. Qin tightened the Buddhist beads bracelet in her hand.
When the eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law were in Minzhou, they often thought of the second granddaughter. If they were in the spirit of heaven, they knew that the second granddaughter was living outside and had suffered for so many years.
The second granddaughter must take it back, but Qin Xin...
"Grandmother..." Qin Xin squeezed the veil in his hand aggrievedly, a thin layer of water vapor floated in his eyes, and he was crying, especially arousing love.
Mrs. Qin became even more unbearable, thinking: The Li family's behavior is really poor, Qin Xin has never been exposed to Yangchun water since she was young, how could she live such a life.
Hou's family has a big business, and it's not that you can't afford to raise a little girl...
This brother Ning is so terrible!
