Chapter 23:

Qin Jiu left Shenghua Pavilion with Qin Zening.
Along the way, Qin Jiu repeated what had happened before, and then asked: "It was Qin Xin who went to complain to his grandmother."
Qin Zening nodded and said angrily: "Sister, you are doing the right thing. If Qin Xin dares to mess with you again in the future, you can just hit it directly. Whatever happens, there is an older brother! Oh, this Qin Xin, There is still a face to complain."
Qin Jiu was not surprised. In other words, she had guessed that they would sue her in all likelihood after returning to the Hou Mansion.
But at that time, she had already torn her face, and she couldn't be shy to show their favor.
She didn't expect Qin Zening to come to pick her up.
While talking, Qin Jiu had already seen Mother Cui who was waiting next to the carriage. Seeing the brothers and sisters came out, Mother Cui smiled and blessed her body, "Uncle, three girls."
Qin Zening said: "It was Mother Cui who asked me to vent the news."
Qin Jiu blinked while looking at Mother Cui who was a few steps away.
"The slave maid grew up watching the eldest son." Madam Cui took the initiative to explain.
The "Shi Zi Ye" in her mouth is the former Zhongyi Hou Shi Zi, and Qin Jue, the biological father of Qin Zening and Qin Jiu.
"At the time, Mrs. Tai gave the grandmother of the son-in-law a sudden illness, and the slave-maid became a nurse to the son-in-law. Speaking of which, the son-in-law grew up watching him grow up."
Mother Cui gave birth to a child who died less than half a year old, and treated Qin Jue, who was breastfeeding, as her own.
Thinking of Qin Jue's untimely death, Mother Cui's expression inevitably revealed a trace of sadness.
"Twelve years ago, when the Qin family was exiled, Mother Cui also went with him." Qin Zening followed, "Sister, if you have any difficulties in the future, just discuss with Mother Cui. "He has errands and can't be in the house from time to time. It would be much better to have Mother Cui watching over.
Qin Jiu responded with a smile and blessed Mother Cui again. Mother Cui hurriedly avoided, saying "Don't dare".
"Three girls," Mother Cui said worriedly, "Mrs. Tai is getting angry now..."
"Let's go back first." Qin Jiu was in debt anyway.
The siblings and Mother Cui soon returned to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, and then went straight to Ronghetang.
As soon as he stepped into Ronghetang, a cup suddenly slammed in Qin Jiao's direction, just at her feet.
"Snapped!"
The tea cup shattered and tea splashed everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Qin's angry voice: "Kneel down!"
Qin Zening squinted his eyes, and guarded Qin Jiao behind him.
Mother Cui frowned worriedly, and was about to say something to persuade, Qin Jiu spoke first: "Grandma, why are you so angry? But who is offending grandma?"
As she said, she glanced at Qin Xin who was sitting next to Mrs. Qin Tai. Although she didn't mention Qin Xin in a word, the meaning was clearly revealed.
Qin Xin was so angry that Qin Jiu looked at her, her eyes faint.
Yesterday, when Qin Jiu returned to the Hou Mansion, he was silent and couldn't hold back a word for a long time. Qin Xin thought she had a cowardly personality. Now, she really wants to go back to the innocent self who awoke yesterday.
Qin Jiu looked at Qin Xin calmly.
Anyway, she has torn apart with the hostess, as the so-called "worry about debts."
"Hey." Qin Jiao sighed, "Second Sister is also true."
"Qin Jiu!" Mrs. Qin Tai called her angrily. The idea that once pityed her has been replaced by anger at this moment, "You don't know what it is!"
Qin Jiao blinked with big eyes and said innocently, "I don't understand what my grandmother is saying... Why am I wrong?"
"Grandma, don't say it." Qin Xin's voice was crying, her eyelashes trembled, and tears seemed to drip down at any time, "It's all my fault, the third sister doesn't like me, grandma, you still let I'll go to Zhuangzi." As she said, she got up to leave.
"Sister Xin, what are you talking nonsense." Mrs. Qin hurriedly grabbed Qin Xin, lovingly patted Qin Xin on her back twice, blurted out angrily, "Qin Jiu is going to go!"
After speaking, Mrs. Qin felt that this was a good idea.
Qin Jiu, this girl, relied on the support of Queen Youwei, so rampant, she just went back to the mansion, she caused such a thing, the family was disturbed, and she stayed in the Hou Mansion. The home is overturned!
Today, Sister Xin and Sister Sheng kindly took her to the Yongxu meeting to meet the world. She actually talked nonsense in front of the noble ladies, telling all the privacy of the mansion, without showing the face of Hou Mansion at all. Take it to heart.
Su is right. The girl who grew up in the countryside is vulgar, so even if Queen Wei treats her like a girl, she is still a country girl.
I have to let this girl know that he must abide by the rules of the Hou Mansion!
"Mrs. Cui," Mrs. Qin said with a straight face, "Immediately let someone prepare a carriage and send the three girls to Yanghezhuang!"
"Madame, the third girl..."
Mother Cui wanted to persuade her, so she was interrupted by Mrs. Qin in a cold voice: "Don't say anything, I must be punished today! I have to make her reflect on it."
"When she knows where she went wrong, come back!"
"The Lord's House of Zhongyi can't tolerate a selfish person like her!"
Mrs. Qin looked at Qin Jiao who was a few steps away, her eyes sharp.
Qin Jiu stood silently, bowing her head silently, until Mrs. Qin finished speaking, she raised her head, crystal clear tears rolled in her eyes, her face was full of grievances, and she shouted three times: "Grandma... …"
Mrs. Qin was taken aback by her sobbing look, she was dumbfounded, a little soft-hearted, but she pressed it down, and her voice rose by two points: "Mrs Cui, why are you still there? Click to prepare the carriage and send it now..." She left.
"Grandma," Qin Jiu's black and white eyes seemed to have been washed by rain. They were clear and bright, reflecting clearly on Mrs. Qin Tai's face, "It is obviously the second sister's fault, I am not convinced."
Qin Jiao sobbed slightly, the last three words being aggrieved and stubborn.
"I know that my grandmother is partial to my second elder sister. Who let the second elder sister stay with her for ten years? Who made me not the one who was taken back to the house back then!" Qin Jiu said more and more sadly, pressing the corner of his eye and shoulders with his veil. It trembled slightly.
She was born thin and small, and those big eyes were particularly prominent on the slap face, becoming more and more pitiful.
Mrs. Qin felt a little softened. Yes, it is not Qin Jiao's fault to be raised in the countryside.
Qin Xin secretly said that it was bad.
She was raised by Mrs. Qin Tai since she was a child, and she knew nothing more about her grandmother's indecisive temperament.
Qin Xin winked at Shuxiang, and Shuxiang immediately noticed, and his expression was nervously whispered: "Girl..."
Shuxiang took out the smelling salt and put it under Qin Xin's nose, and stroked Qin Xin's back with one hand.
Mrs. Qin Tai looked at Qin Xin's sickly look, and she felt like her heart was pricked by needles. The doctor just said that the second granddaughter was stimulated, so that she was too worried and depressed, so she should take good care of her. A few days ago.
Her sister Xin has never been so wronged!
Thinking about it, Madam Qin hardened her heart again, "Qin Jiu, you..."
"Grandma," Qin Jiu's face was half drooping, sobbing out of breath, "Since you like the second sister so much, why do you have to take me back?"
"Since the Qin family can't tolerate me, I will leave now!"
"Aunt Queen likes me, she will believe me."
"I will never come back!"
Qin Jiao covered his small mouth with a veil, crying loudly, turned and ran away.
"Sister!" Qin Zening hurried to catch up.
The door curtain leading to the outside room was raised and lowered in succession. The door curtain shook in mid-air, and the sound of steps disappeared.
Mrs. Qin Tai: "..."
What did she just say? !
correct!
She wants to send Qin Jiu to Zhuangzi, but what about people?
Mrs. Qin stared blankly at the door curtain in front, a little confused, for a while, she didn't respond.
After Qin Jiao ran out of the courtyard of Rong'antang, he put down the veil in his hand, Ruyu's small face was clean and there were no tears.
She tucked the kerchief into her sleeve pocket, and turned her head towards the back of Qin Zening, who "chase it out" with a bright smile, her eyes shining like cold stars in the sky.
Just now when Mrs. Qin Tai talked about sending Qin Jiu to Zhuangzi, Qin Zening was about to go wild, but was quietly stopped by Qin Jiu's clothes.
Qin Zening endured it first. The next moment, he saw his sister "cry so much" that he was more sad than Qin Xin...
That pitiful grievance made those who saw it weep, and those who heard it were sad.
...
It's so interesting!
She deserves to be his sister, she really has an appetite for him!
Qin Zening looked at his sister who was a head shorter than himself, and the corners of his lips curled up.
When the young man smiled, his handsome face was shining like the sun, and he was full of spirits.
"Brother, you remember to talk to Mother Cui later, so that she doesn't worry about it." Qin Jiu said again.
Just now, Mother Cui repeatedly winked at her with a worried look, obviously she was really worried about their brothers and sisters.
Qin Zening nodded in response and said, "Sister, I will send you into the palace."
So, Qin Zening rode all the way and escorted Qin Jiu's carriage out.
Qin Zening led the errand of the imperial guard, handed a badge in front of the palace gate, and asked someone to report to Queen Wei. Not long after, the little servant of Fengluan Palace hurried over and led Qin Jiu in.
