Feng Sinian's originally cold expression became even darker, and he looked at Qin Zhixu with deep disappointment:
"To this moment, you don't think you did anything wrong. Instead, you think I have an affair with Lin Jinyan, and that's why you behave like this?"
Qin Zhixu said angrily: "If you don't have her in mind, why did you send someone to the Zhao family to check? And why did you dismiss all my servants? Isn't it because I watched Lin Jinyan being bullied and didn't help?"
"Since you said so, I would like to ask, you are the eldest concubine of my Marquis of Pingyang. Do you care about the honor and disgrace of the Marquis of Marquis?"
"I have been in charge of the central government of the Hou Mansion for many years and have taken care of the family affairs. How can I not care about the Hou Mansion?"
Feng Sinian said angrily: "If you care, how could you let the guests watch jokes in the Hou Mansion on my grandfather's birthday? How could you let Zhao Shangshu's daughter disturb the birthday banquet? If Miss Lin was in the mansion today, what would happen to the Hou Mansion? Accounting to the General’s Mansion and Tai Tu? Have you ever thought about it?”
"Miss Lin, Miss Lin, you really care about Lin Jinyan! Even if something happens to her in the house, are the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion still afraid of the Gu Lin family? My aunt is the mother of the country, and my cousin is even more so. What do the future princes dare to do? Are they still going to rebel?"
After Feng Sinian heard this, he no longer had the idea of reasoning with Qin Zhixu. After taking a deep breath, his anger turned to indifference again. Looking at Qin Zhixu, he looked at a stranger:
"The imperial concubine's family background is really daunting, but I'm the one who's so high up. We are a husband and wife, and we think about our relationship, so I don't want to say anything. If you don't force me to make my words clear, then it's up to you. How can Ning'er go? His side courtyard? Why were you raped and killed? Do you really not know?"
Qin Zhixu's eyes dodge and he said forcefully:
"What are you asking me for? What about rape and murder? Didn't you say that Ning'er has a heart disease?"
"Some servants saw that your personal maid went to the side courtyard with Ning'er. Chengping also said that the second prince suddenly started to have a stomachache after drinking tea, and the food in the mansion is under your control. You want to drag the second prince into the game? But I don’t want Hong Anbo’s son to suddenly interfere and ruin the good thing.”
After speaking, seeing Qin Zhixu complaining about injustice, Feng Sinian interrupted:
"Whether we are wronged or not, we both know clearly in our hearts. My grandfather and I did not settle the matter. We just sent away the troublesome slaves who had extraneous intentions. We were thinking of our relatives. Do we really think that the Hou Mansion is a fool? You go back and tell the Hou Mansion everything. , tell me something, Qin Shizi and Qin Guojiu are very clever, and they can display them in the Duke's Mansion, but there is no need to come to my Pingyang Marquis Mansion to set up a stage. The Marquis Mansion has no habit of watching human life dramas."
After Feng Sinian finished speaking, he strode back to his yard without looking at Qin Zhixu, leaving only one sentence:
"The Crown Princess, from now on, you can stay in the Marquis Mansion and take care of yourself."
No matter how Qin Zhixu shouted, he didn't stop.
Inside the Earl of Hong'an's Mansion.
Mrs. Hong Anbo hugged her son, cried and complained:
"Hua'er was already injured by the evil thieves of the Duke's Mansion. Now that he is accused of raping and killing a maid, how will he be able to gain a foothold in Tai'an City in the future?"
Hong Anbo was upset by crying and frowned impatiently:
"Oh, okay, don't cry! I already told you that this matter can't be spread! Who can know if the Marquis doesn't tell you?"
"How come it didn't spread? You and Hua'er were the only ones inside, talking to Marquis Pingyang. Everyone present was a smart person, and they guessed that the matter was not simple. Then the Marquis Mansion didn't have any good intentions! Why should they give it to him? Giving away money? What do you mean by telling the outside world that you got frightened and got sick? It’s obvious that you just mean that my Hua’er looks scary!”
