The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

Ren Chenghao saluted Qin Jiu and the others politely, and said with a smile: "We are here to perform our official duties. If there is any offense, please forgive me."

"Any deputy commander, please." Qin Zening was also polite and arched his hands. "It is my grandmother who has been sick all this time. I hope you don't disturb her."

Before he left the palace, Ren Chenghao had the emperor's order, and he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, it is Qin Zhun who confiscated the family property, and the wife of your house privately owns her own dowry."

What he meant was that they would not go to Ronghetang to disturb Mrs. Qin.

Next, Qin Zening invited Ren Chenghao to sit down in the main hall and entertained each other with Qin Zeyu. As for the other Jinyiwei under the guidance of the housekeeper, they went to several courtyards in the second room to check.

Seeing those Jin Yiwei wearing flying fish suits with embroidered spring knives on his waist walking around in the Hou Mansion, the people were all anxious. They were a little relieved until they were sure that Jin Yiwei was indeed coming from the second room.

Only Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou were still anxious, watching Jin Yiwei carry things away box by box, and did not dare to stop them. They did not dare to face Jin Yiwei, let alone know where they were going in the future.

Qin Sheng thought and thought, and asked Qin Zezhou to rush to Ronghetang with some of his younger brothers and sisters. He wanted to rush to find Mrs. Qin as the master while Qin Zening was with Ren Chenghao, but was stopped by Qin Jiu. Outside the house.

Qin Sheng couldn't wait to tear Qin Jiao in his heart, and shouted with his neck held high:

"Second sister, if you don't let us see our grandmother again, we will go back to Su's house and let people see that the eldest brother has just inherited the title of knight and kicked the cousin out of the house. How immemorable!"

The four younger siblings beside her, including Qin Zezhou, also echoed: "We want to see grandmother!"

Everyone knows that Mrs. Qin Tai is the most softhearted. As long as they kneel before her and cry and beg, Mrs. Qin will surely be soft-hearted. Only if Su is removed from the charge of murdering her mother-in-law, can the second room Seek other things.

Qin Jiao looked at the five Qin Sheng sisters and brothers, smiled, and said casually: "We have separated from Erfang, Sister Si, you shouldn't have lived here anymore."

"Hey, I also thought you had nowhere to go. I planned to keep you and live there. Now that you have a place to go, then go."

"Sister Si, want to go to Su's house, right?"

Qin Jiu didn't wait for Qin Sheng and others to speak, so he called a maid and said, "Don't hurry up and prepare the carriage for the four girls and send them to Su's house."

Qin Sheng's face turned pale, and his fists were clenched tightly.

Last night, she and Qin Zezhou went to the Su's house because of the Su family's affairs. Although several uncles and aunts did not speak ill of each other, they were quite impatient. Especially when they spoke of their mother, they were very disapproving. Begging again, the uncles refused to go to Jingzhao Mansion to help their mother, only let them come back to beg grandmother.

Since the cousin Susian’s incident, the uncles and aunts have been very dissatisfied with their family. Will they be willing to take in their siblings? !

Whether it is Qin Sheng or Qin Zezhou, there is no answer in his heart.

Qin Zezhou pulled Qin Sheng's sleeves down, trying to persuade her whether she should be soft first, but Qin Sheng was willing, in her opinion, Qin Zhuo was just scaring them. They have nothing in the second room, and the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes. Qin Zening has now inherited the title, so how could he ignore his reputation.

Qin Sheng stopped back and looked at Qin Jiao stubbornly.

After a while, the maid in charge came and said, "The carriage is ready, the fourth girl, the second master, the fourth master, the sixth girl..."

The mother-in-law called over one by one, respectfully reaching out to make a petition.

Qin Sheng bit her lower lip as she spoke to this point. With so many servants watching, she really couldn't hold her face down. She flicked her sleeves and left, "Go and go!"

Qin Zezhou was dumbfounded, looked at Qin Jiu, then Qin Sheng, and ran after him, "Sister Si!"

The other brothers and sisters who came out of the consort have always regarded Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou as their heads. They glanced at each other, and no one dared to stay behind. They all followed Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou.

Qin Sheng's carriages and horses left Zhongyi Hou Mansion smoothly, and Jin Yiwei did not stop them either. They were here to copy the property, and the emperor did not let them pay attention to these insignificant people.

Jin Yiwei was an expert in the investigation, and in just an hour, he had copied all that was supposed to be copied. Ren Chenghao also left, and Qin Zening personally sent the people to the Waiyimen.

When Jin Yiwei left, the sound of horse hooves was gone, and it was almost dusk.

The people’s hearts were completely let go, as if they were escaping from a hungry wolf’s mouth, their feet still felt a little soft, and the Sanfang who heard the news also breathed a sigh of relief. Master Qin San and his wife brought a few children over to show their favor, facing Qin Zening gave a good compliment.

Sanfang is a concubine, and it has always followed the trend, and the strong side will fall to which side.

After the death of the old man, the title was given to the second room, but Qin San did not say anything. This time, when the title returned to the long room, Qin San also didn't make a splash.

Qin Zening had a mediocre feeling for the third uncle, and simply said: "Three uncles, third aunts, since they have separated, let's divide them thoroughly." At the beginning, the long room and the second room were separated, and the third room continued to adhere to the second room. .

Master Qin San didn't even dare to say "no", and Qin Zening said nothing.

So, the next day, Qin Zening called in the patriarch, clan elders, etc., and separated from Sanfang. Because Erfang’s properties were all confiscated, Qin Zening got a share from his own property. Sanfang, let Sanfang look for a house slowly, without rushing to move.

At the beginning, Qin Jiu bought a lot of properties from Qin Zhun at a low price. Although Qin Zhun spent a lot on the second prince, and now the second room’s property has been confiscated, most of the properties of the Qin family are still preserved. Up.

Sanfang was worried that this time Jinyiwei’s copying of his home would affect the property assigned to Sanfang. I didn’t expect Qin Zening to be so generous. It was overjoyed. So when he went outside, he also praised the big nephew a lot, saying that Qin Zening was kind and righteous , Qin Zhun was confused.

In the next few days, the Hou Mansion became more lively. The third room began to pack things, and the three siblings in the long room began to move. They had to move back a few months after moving out. Qin Jiu was tired of heart and body. Tired, I feel that I have tossed about moving in the past few months.

When Qin Zhuo and the others moved almost the same, Su's case was settled.

On that day, the brothers Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu went to the court of Jingzhao Mansion to observe the trial. The process of the interrogation was reported by Qin Zening and Qin Jiao after he returned:

"Master Hu brought Mother Zhao’s son to court, and Mother Zhao changed her confession... Later, the Su clan pleaded guilty, but she said that Qin Xin was instigated. She went to see her second uncle, and so did the second uncle. Promised."

"Master Hu summoned Qin Xin to the court as well. Qin Xin denied it, saying that the Su family was going to drag her into the water, and plausibly said that she had just married to the Second Prince's Mansion, and for her, she gave birth to a child earlier. It's important, how could you come up with such an idea to keep yourself filial!"

Qin Zening's eyes were deep, his instinct told him that Su should not lie, but I have to say that Qin Xin's remarks were enough to convince many people.

If it were the past, Qin Zeyu would certainly believe in Qin Xin, but in the past six months or so, Qin Xin's actions have surpassed his cognition time and time again, breaking his bottom line.

He couldn't believe her anymore.

Qin Zeyu's heart was a little bitter, and he calmed down, and said, "The second uncle didn't admit it, saying that he only asked the Su clan to ask the eldest brother to borrow some silver to fill the shortfall. He said that he has absolutely no desire to kill his mother. God swears that if he has this heart, the sky will thunder."

Qin Jiao twitched his eyes, and couldn't help but look at the sky outside the window. The blue sky was cloudless, as blue as the clear sea.

Qin Jiao shook his head and said in his heart: God thinks he is a bit deaf today...

Qin Zening could see what his sister was thinking at a glance, and there was a smile on her lips, and then said: "Qin Xin asked her maid Shuxiang to testify for her, and Shuxiang said that when Su came to ask Qin Xin for advice. Qin Xin told Su Clan to not worry and not violate the court's laws, saying that she could write a letter to the second prince to find a way. Shuxiang said that it must be Su Clan who felt that Qin Xin would not help, so he hated him and deliberately slandered Qin. Xin."

"The public said that the public was justified, and the mother said that the mother was justified. No one has any evidence to prove that this matter is related to the second uncle and Qin Xin, so neither of them was convicted for this case."

"Master Hu sentenced the Su clan to exile, with one hundred sticks, and the second uncle asked to divorce his wife in court."

Qin Zening talked about everything in the courtroom in a few words.

He was extremely disappointed for this second uncle, who had shared ups and downs in Minzhou. Even if there is no evidence, Qin Zening can see from the expressions of Qin Zhun and Su Clan that most of Su Clan's words are true.

Qin Zening held up the tea cup at hand absent-mindedly, and the tea cup came to his mouth, when Qin Zhuo suddenly said, "Brother, go and dredge it."

Her words surprised both brothers Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu.

Qin Zeyu almost choked out of tea, wondering if he had a hallucination.

This...this...this is really not like his sister's acting style!

Qin Zeyu swallowed, and wanted to ask Qin Jiao if he was unwell.

Qin Jiu smiled slyly, and continued slowly: "There is a saying, ten years of cultivation can be carried on the same boat, a hundred years of cultivation can sleep together. Anyway, the second uncle and the second aunt are going to exile. I don't want to be exiled together. 'According' to each other."

According to the practice of the dynasty, Qin Zhun was exiled from prisoners and would be exiled to Minzhou, while the Su clan would be exiled to Lingnan just like the leader of Yunguang Road, and then parted ways.

However, Qin Jiu felt that the separation of the two people was not good. It would be better for them to be tied together for a long time and love and kill each other.

Qin Zening was a wise man and knew the temperament of Qin Zhun and Su's family, and immediately understood what Qin Jiu meant.

With Su's selfish temperament, Qin Zhun turned his face in court this time and didn't recognize anyone. In addition, he had divorced his wife in public and separated from Su's relationship. Su's must hate him now.

If the two of them have gone from here to earth, Su clan can only swallow this breath, but if the two are exiled to one place and meet each other day by day, can Su clan take this breath?

This couple is tied together and hurts each other to be happy!

Thinking about it, Qin Zening's eyes were brighter, and he couldn't even drink the tea, and said hurriedly: "If it's a trivial matter, I will find someone to'clear' it in a while."

In the final analysis, whether the Su clan was exiled to Lingnan or Minzhou is simply trivial. Jing Zhaoyin would definitely be willing to sell his own face.

As for Qin Xin...

Qin Zening and Qin Jiu looked at each other, and both brothers and sisters saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.

In their opinion, Qin Xin is certainly not innocent.

Qin Jiao was eating sweet and sour grapes while thinking: Qin Xin said that she was anxious to have children, so she couldn't keep filial piety. It sounded okay. After all, Qin Zhun was in trouble and she lost a backing. , She wants to gain a foothold in the Second Prince's Mansion and to regain the love of the Queen Mother, she will definitely want to give birth to the emperor's grandson soon.

For Qin Xin, a grandson of the emperor is profitable but harmless...

Qin Jiu ate one grape and another.

She doesn't have to peel the grapes, she owns Du Ruo to peel her, she only needs to eat the grape meat and spit out the grape seeds. It is very pleasant.

Qin Jiu separated a little thought to reflect on his "corruption and laziness" for a while, most of his thoughts still centered on Qin Xin, and he couldn't figure it out.

She wiped the grape juice from her fingers with her kerchief, and suddenly asked, "Brother, the second prince is coming back soon?"

Qin Zening knew about this, and said, "People are coming to the north of Shanxi, and they should be able to reach the capital in ten days."

Qin Zeyu's thoughts didn't keep up with his brother and sister at all, and he didn't know why they suddenly talked about the second prince, and looked at them back and forth.

Qin Jiao's eyes flashed a bright light, his apricot eyes were dark and bright, and he said: "Brother, can you ask, is there something wrong with the second prince?"

"Didn't he get stabbed by Yeluluan last time? He has been raising it for a while. It seems that the injury should be serious, but he sent the emperor...Can you find the doctor who treated him? "

Qin Zening looked at Qin Jiu confusedly.

Qin Jiu: "I think Qin Xin is a little weird, and the second prince is even more weird."

She always felt that these two people's actions were subtle and unreasonable, but they couldn't tell.

For Qin Zening, what his sister said is what she said. Qin Zening slapped his chest and said, "Xiao Jiu, don't worry, this matter is on my body, and we guarantee it will be done."

When his eldest brother is working, of course Qin Jiu feels relieved, and hands the dessert plate to Qin Zening.

Qin Zening took a bite and hesitated: "Xiao Jiu, do you want to tell grandma about this?"

"Go ahead." Qin Jiu replied decisively.

At first, she didn't say anything, nor did she want to help Qin Zhun and Qin Xin cover up, because Mrs. Qin Tai was weak and had not escaped the dangerous period. She was afraid that she would be stimulated and her condition would worsen and could not hold it.

Now Mrs. Qin's condition has stabilized and is recovering gradually. Of course, this matter must be said.

Qin Jiu looked at Qin Zening with a clear gaze, "Brother, I must let my grandmother know whether her distressed granddaughter is a human or a ghost."

As she said, she snapped her fingers at Qin Zeyu, and hurriedly called her younger brother: "You, go and invite a doctor over."

Qin Zeyu, who was named suddenly, didn't react for a while, and after a moment of stunned, he jumped up from the chair. He patted his robe and responded with a grin: "Sister, don't worry, I will go to the Qianjin Hall myself to invite Old Doctor Li to come."

The bear child felt that her sister was just stubborn and soft, afraid that her grandmother would not be able to hold it.

Qin Zeyu happily ran errands for his sister.

When Old Doctor Li came, the three brothers and sisters asked the doctor to stay outside, and then went into the inner room together. Qin Zening told Mrs. Qin what had happened, especially the court hearing in Jingzhao Mansion today.

Mrs. Qin Tai's face turned pale with naked eyes, her bleak lips trembled slightly, and she asked over and over again:

"Really?"

"how come?"

"Will not……"

Mrs. Qin Tai's eyes were red, and a faint mist appeared.

When she knew that Su wanted to poison her, she was disappointed, sad, puzzled, but that was all, she didn't expect that even Qin Zhun and Qin Xin would want her to die!

Qin Zening just made a statement, and after speaking, he was silent.

Anyway, there is no evidence to prove whether Qin Zhun and Qin Xin were involved. Believe it or not lies with Mrs. Qin Tai. If she wants to deceive herself, there is nothing she can do.

Mrs. Qin Tai was still reciting those words over and over again. Although she was questioning this matter in her mouth, she knew it very well in her heart.

Qin Zening would not lie to her in this matter.

Mrs. Qin's heart contracted in bursts, as if she had been crushed by something, her face was as painful as twisted, and her face turned gray.

Madam Cui hurriedly gave Mrs. Qin Tai's favor, "Mrs. Tai, don't ruin yourself for the unconscionable popularity."

Seeing that Mrs. Qin's face is not good, Qin Jiu hastened to let people call Old Doctor Li in.

Old doctor Li hurriedly diagnosed Mrs. Qin's pulse, and instructed Mother Cui to massage her a few points, and Mrs. Qin gradually calmed down.

"Master Hou," Old Doctor Li said to Qin Zening, "Madam Madam is getting too old, she has only been a little bit angry, but she has been raising well recently, and there is no major problem. Just take a good rest and stop getting angry."

"Brother Ning, I'm okay." Mrs. Qin said in a hoarse voice, her face still pale, but her breathing became much smoother, "I have experienced exile, bereavement, and experience. After life and death, there is nothing left to watch."

She is at this age, which is the age when one foot stepped into the coffin.

Mother Cui personally sent Old Doctor Li out, Qin Zeyu walked quickly to the side of the couch and sat down, and followed Madam Cui’s way to massage the acupuncture points of Mrs. Qin’s hands, coaxing her sweetly: "Grandma, don’t say You seem to have no hope, you still have to choose a sister-in-law for your eldest brother!"

When Mrs. Qin was old, she liked to be coaxed by others. When Qin Zeyu was teased, she laughed. This is the same reason when she thinks about it. A few days ago, she thought about picking a wife for her eldest grandson. This matter can be put on the agenda. Otherwise, when the third granddaughter gets married, wouldn't this huge Hou Mansion even have no one in charge? !

The more Mrs. Qin thought about it, the more she felt that she had to hurry up and get a good body, and her eyes became brighter.

Qin Zeyu took the tea cup from the maidservant again and handed it to Mrs. Qin himself, and continued to coax her: "Grandma, drink tea."

This tea is a medicinal tea, also prescribed by Dr. Xu, which can nourish the energy and calm the mind.

After Mrs. Qin drank the medicated tea, her face eased a little, and she asked, "When will your second uncle be in exile?"

Qin Zening said: "September 20th."

"..." Mrs. Qin was silent, twisting the beads bracelet in her hand, without speaking for a long time.

Until Mother Cui came in again, Taifu Qin said in a low voice: "He hates me." Hate himself for not begging his grandson to save him. Therefore, once he realized that Ding You was profitable, he gave up. she was.

Qin Zening also understood, and was silent.

For this matter, Mrs. Qin Tai was depressed for several days. Fortunately, Qin Zeyu was a sweet mouth. Except when she was studying and practicing martial arts, she ran to Ronghetang and coaxed her.

Mrs. Qin was originally a soft ear, and now there is no one around her, and she gradually regained her spirit, but after experiencing this disaster, she looked many years old.

Originally, although Mrs. Qin Tai was more than fifty, she looked like someone in her forties, but now, her temples are frosty, and her forehead and eye corners have a few deep wrinkles. A faint old state.

After another three days of recuperation, Mrs. Qin Tai was able to get out of bed and walk around. Qin Yu volunteered to help her go for a walk in the small garden, and Qin Jiu was there.

The grandfather and grandson were walking while talking.

"Grandma, Sanjie, I think this sweet-scented osmanthus is good. The third sister said that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake at home is delicious two days ago. How about we pick some sweet-scented osmanthus and let the cook make sweet-scented osmanthus?"

"Grandma, sit in the front pavilion and watch my third sister and I pick the sweet-scented osmanthus."

"..."

The bear kid talked to himself and found something to do for Qin Jiu, and eagerly wanted to climb the tree to shake the sweet-scented osmanthus.

However, before he climbed the tree, someone came trotting and said, "Mrs. Tai, the second grandma is here." The second grandma she said was Qin Xin.

Qin Jiao touched the gold ruby ​​bracelet on his left hand, and the corners of his lips curled up invisibly.

She knew that Qin Xin would come sooner or later, so she also ordered the porter early. If Qin Xin came, she would give it to Mrs. Qin.

Madam Qin did not speak, and the others did not speak either. The little maid stood on the spot in a daze, carefully glanced at Madam Qin's face, and lowered her head again.

After a while, Mrs. Qin finally spoke, and only gave two words indifferently: "No see."

Mrs. Qin's voice was very calm, so calm that there was no ripple or even a little anger.

The calmer she was, the more she expressed that she was completely disappointed in Qin Xin and let it go, so she didn't even want to question why Qin Xin wanted to harm her.

The little maid glanced at Qin Jiao quickly, and then she took her order: "Yes, Madam Tai." She ran away in a hurry.

Mrs. Qin stared at the back of the little maid in a daze. When the wind blew, the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in front swayed with the wind, and countless light yellow petals fell like a drizzle, and the fragrance of the flowers became more and more fragrant, and it was too strong to breathe. .

Mrs. Qin suddenly said, "Sister Jiu, when you first returned to Beijing, your eldest brother told me that Sister Xin had already known the truth about her being exchanged with you, but at that time, I didn’t believe it. of."

Qin Zeyu heard it too, and opened his eyes slightly in shock.

Mrs. Qin's eyes were in a daze, "Sister Xin was only three years old when she first came to the mansion. What can a three-year-old child know? She won't have the opportunity to interact with the Li family again. How could she know so much? I always thought that Sister Xin didn't know, she was innocent, and it was your eldest brother who was so worried."

Mrs. Qin retracted her gaze, looked at Qin Jiao, and took her hand, "But now, I believe it."

"Sister Xin always knows the truth and knows that she is not from the Qin family, so no matter how I treat her well, in her opinion, the Qin family is an outsider...even if I brought her up."

In just a few words, Mrs. Qin Tai's voice became more and more hoarse, and there was water in her eyes. However, she soon calmed down again and wiped the corners of her eyes with a kerchief.

Mother Cui listened beside her, mockingly said: Qin Xin is also an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, that is, the wife is softhearted!

Seeing Mrs. Qin's sad look, Qin Zeyu quickly calmed his mind and took the old man's thin shoulders affectionately and said, "Grandma, don't be sad. My third sister said, people will always be stupid several times. I’ll learn. As long as you’re stupid, don’t make the same stupidity again."

Qin Jiao: "..."

Qin Jiao's eyes twitched, and he felt that Qin Zeyu was really a bear kid, and he was confused!

"Sister Jiu can see clearly." Mrs. Qin Tai firmly grasped Qin Jiu's right hand with both hands, and said sincerely, "Sister Jiu, it is my grandmother who is sorry for you." As she spoke, her eyes began to start again. Flushed.

"..." Qin Jiu felt sour in his heart, as if with a grievance that was difficult to describe in words, and then calmed down again after the heart lake, seemed relieved, and let it go.

Qin Jiu knew that it was the mood of the original owner, and the original owner probably always wanted to hear this sentence. In the novel, the original owner's life is too short and too aggrieved.

Qin Jiu just pursed his lips and smiled without responding.

Because the person Mrs. Qin is sorry for is no longer there...

She has no right to forgive Mrs. Qin Tai on behalf of her native place.
