strangeness? Why is Qin Keqing here?
Jia Cong came outside the nunnery and saw Qin Keqing getting off the carriage. Yingying bowed down and said, "My niece-in-law is paying my respects to the third uncle. Second uncle Bao is also here..."
"Brother Rong, wife, what are you doing here?"
It only took an hour and a half from the time something happened in Shuiyue An to Shuntian Mansion to escort people away. Why did Qin Keqing come here?
Just listen to Qin Keqing say: "Master Jingxu went to the mansion yesterday and said that there is a new vegetarian dish in the nunnery today, and he invites his nephew and wife to come and taste it..."
"Who is it? How dare you spy on a noble person!"
Jia Shiyi's sudden warning startled Qin Keqing, and her originally rosy face instantly turned pale.
Jia Cong couldn't care about whether men and women were intimate or not, so he took her arm and entered Shuiyue Temple.
Several of the accompanying soldiers immediately stepped forward with their swords drawn, protected Jia Cong, Qin Keqing and Baoyu, and retreated into the main hall of the nunnery.
"Brother Bao, please stay in the main hall with Brother Rong and his wife. I'll go out and take a look..."
"Brother Cong, don't go out, it's dangerous outside!"
The sudden incident woke Jia Baoyu out of his depression. He grabbed Jia Cong who was walking out, shook his head worriedly and said, "Let the soldiers go, don't go out."
Jia Cong smiled and shook his head to reassure him. He broke free of his arms, raised his feet and walked out of the nunnery.
Baoyu had no choice but to lie at the door and look out, only to see that Jia Shiyi had already dealt with a masked thief. At the same time, more than ten masked thieves gathered at the entrance of the nunnery and were fighting with the Jia family's guards.
When they meet on a narrow road, death or injury can happen in a matter of seconds.
When Jia Baoyu was looking for Jia Cong, blood was splattered at the door of the nunnery. Jia Baoyu was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
Bang!
He came across a chair, and Qin Keqing quickly supported it: "Uncle Bao, what's going on outside?"
In the past, Baoyu would have been paralyzed by Qin Keqing's tenderness and charming body fragrance, but at this time, his mind was filled with the blood that pierced his eyes.
"Blood! Blood! Killing!"
Qin Keqing immediately thought of the secret letter he had received earlier, and his delicate brows furrowed. He wanted to call Jia Cong but did not make a sound in the end.
"Second Uncle Bao, don't be afraid. As long as Third Uncle is here, nothing will happen to you."
The gentle comforting voice did not make Jia Baoyu recover from the shock, but instead kept shrinking back.
Qin Keqing had no choice but to say to the grandmother beside him: "Mommy, come and support Uncle Bao while I go to the front to take a look."
"grandmother……"
Grandma wanted to offer some advice, but Qin Keqing shook her head.
After Mammy supported the limp Baoyu, Qin Keqing quickly came to the door of the main hall and looked out, just in time to see Jia Cong with his hands behind his back, looking disdainfully at the thieves who wanted to break into the nunnery.
The man who fought against Jia Shiyi was very skilled, and the two of them fought back and forth, but the man was probably a little older, and he gradually showed signs of decline under Jia Shiyi's fierce attack.
On the contrary, the thieves at the gate gradually gained the upper hand due to the large number of people. Three of the Ningguo Mansion guards who escorted Qin Keqing were already dead. Jia Cong waved his hand, and the two Rongguo Mansion soldiers who were originally guarding him rushed forward with swords.
The slingshot in Jia Cong's hand had already been loaded with stone bullets. While Jia Shiyi was chopping the knife, one shot hit the thief's hand that was holding the knife.
The thief's hand trembled in pain, and he was severely slashed on the shoulder by a long knife.
Jia Shiyi was about to take advantage of the victory and pursue the pursuit, but saw the man climb up the wall in a few steps, glance at Qin Keqing, and quickly escape.
"Uncle Eleven, catch up!"
Jia Cong saw the thief escaping, but Jia Shiyi turned over and climbed off the wall, returning to his side, urging him anxiously.
But he saw Jia Shiyi holding a knife in front of him and saying in a deep voice: "What if I divert the tiger away from the mountain and something happens to the mistress, how will I explain it to the general?"
The first task of the soldiers of Rongguo Mansion is to protect, and the rest can be given up. He's just a thief, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
After the thief who was stabbed by Jia Shiyi escaped, at the gate
The thieves had no intention of fighting. After hastily abandoning the two corpses, they broke away from the battle and fled quickly.
The personal guards of the two mansions had no energy left to pursue them, and could only watch helplessly as the thieves fled.
It wasn't until news of the killing broke out that Qin Keqing walked up to Jia Cong with a face as bright as gold and said, "Third uncle, I'm afraid these people are here to arrest my niece-in-law..."
Jia Cong's fight in Shuiyue'an was ignored. In the past two years, he had been assassinated not once or twice. The frequency of assassinations was getting higher and higher, which also proved that the enemy was more and more afraid of Ning Rong's Jia family.
After hearing the news, Master Pardon personally rushed to Shuiyue Temple with a large number of soldiers. ..
The group of people then returned to Rongguo Mansion and gathered in the Rongxi Hall. The old lady's hands were trembling. After seeing that Jia Cong, Baoyu and Qin Keqing were fine, she hugged her good grandson Baoyu and cursed.
Of course, it's not about cursing Jia Cong, but the assassination thieves and Jingxu who caused all this.
She seemed to have forgotten that it was actually her old man who sent Baoyu to Shuiyue An.
Jia Cong suppressed his laughter and told Jia She about Shuiyue An.
"It's the most ridiculous thing in the world. Why do I, the Ningrong Jia family, ever need to make such shady money?"
Jia Zheng suddenly slapped the table, and the loud sound made Baoyu, who was still in a state of fright, tremble and dive into the old lady's arms.
The old lady glared at her second son with dissatisfaction and said coldly: "Why are you trying to show off your authority here? If you have this time, you might as well go find out who gave Jingxu the idea."
"Mother, you mean there is someone behind Jingxu?"
At this point, Mr. Zheng is far worse than the old lady.
As long as it has nothing to do with Baoyu, the old lady is very shrewd. Just after listening to Jia Cong's narrative, she realized something was wrong.
How much money did Wang Xifeng receive? People from Shuntian Mansion confiscated nearly 70,000 taels of silver from Shuiyue Temple.
Moreover, even if Shuiyue An relied on the power of Rongguo Mansion and Wang Xifeng to make usury loans and solicit lawsuits for several years, causing so many life-threatening lawsuits, it was impossible for several years without any news coming out.
What secrets can the capital have?
There are all kinds of rumors about things in the palace, but Shuiyue'an suppresses the news tightly. Is she Jingxu so capable?
"It's a mess outside, so I'd better stay at home. My son has arranged for personal soldiers to investigate this matter. Let Brother Cong go find his teacher again, so that our family won't suffer this injustice in vain."
Master Pardon glanced at Baoyu, who was huddled in the old lady's arms, and sighed and said, "Baoyu, go back and rest, and cook some soothing medicine. I saw blood today, I guess I will be ill for a few days."
After being reminded by her eldest son, the old lady finally woke up from her anger.
Seeing that her sweet grandson was in a state of confusion, she quickly called Yuanyang in and asked her to call the doctor.
After only the old lady, Jia Jing, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Cong, and Qin Keqing were left in Rongxi Hall, Jia Jing turned his attention to his grandson's wife.
"Brother Rong and his wife, are you sure that the thieves in Shuiyue Temple today were after you?"
Qin Keqing nodded and said softly: "Do you still remember the words in the secret letter that my granddaughter-in-law gave to my grandfather a few days ago..."
"The time has come, I will invite the master to return south!"
Jia Jing repeated these words. Jia Cong listened incomprehensibly, but the old lady sat up straight and looked at Qin Keqing with a complicated expression.
Qin Keqing continued: "Although grandson-in-law often goes to Shuiyue Nunnery to offer incense, she doesn't have much contact with Jingxu. She suddenly arrived at the house yesterday and invited me to taste vegetarian food in the nunnery today. At first, grandson-daughter-in-law didn't think much about it, but now it seems , I’m afraid there is another mystery.”
Although Jia Jing was once very dissatisfied with Qin Keqing because of her strange identity and the ridiculous things she almost caused.
But Qin Keqing's behavior these days made him change his attitude. His grandson Jia Rong is a dull person who can't achieve anything. It would be nice to have a sensible and smart wife.
