Imperial City, Xiaoliu Street, Qin Mansion.
These days, several concierges in the Qin Mansion can feel that the atmosphere at home is depressing. When passing by the Moon Gate, they can sometimes hear a little crying inside, and they don't know whether it is the maid or the young lady at home who is crying.
What's even more frightening is that every time the master comes back these days, his face is livid, as if he is worried about something big.
Yesterday, the family dog barked a few times and almost got thrown into the pot to be boiled. Now it is still hiding in the woodshed and does not dare to come out. It has made it pee several times.
It was like a layer of dark clouds shrouded the Qin Mansion, and everyone below was trembling with fear.
Just yesterday, I heard the news that a young lady in the family was bullied outside. Needless to say which young lady it was, the servants could guess it. It was the young lady from the third room, Qin Xiangyu, who had been out recently.
The servants secretly saw many jokes and few sympathized with him. This Miss Xiangyu was not a kind person in the Qin family. She was always very harsh on her servants. She often beat and scolded her and had a bad look on her face. It's even worse for slaves. They don't treat slaves as human beings. Three or five slaves die in the Qin Mansion every year. Basically, Miss Xiangyu is beaten to death with sticks.
Beating a slave to death is just like smashing a vase you don't like with a hammer. If you don't care about it, if you have money, you don't care.
It's just that people are more cautious about Miss Xiangyu for fear of offending each other.
Such a fierce young lady was loved and loved at home. Palace Master Qin's family were very generous to her, even the master would often give her some rare things to show his closeness.
Why is the head of the Qin family so kind to a young lady from the Sanfang family? Even kept in the big house? This is actually not a secret. I have heard it several years ago. It is said that Miss Xiangyu has been engaged to the fifth prince and will join the palace as a concubine in the future. This position is destined to be superior to others.
However, given Miss Xiangyu’s impression among the Qin family’s servants, some people said good things about her, but they only said it in public. Privately, they didn’t like this person. Some even said, “Marry a man who is decades older than you.” What's there to be proud of? I heard that the fifth prince's daughters are not younger than her."
But it is said that Miss Qin, who is expected to be superior to others and will enter the palace in the future, has been dealt with badly this time. It seems that she was taken out of the dungeon of Xuanqing Guard.
I don’t know who spread this news. Anyway, all the guards who went to pick up Qin Xiangyu were killed. Not only were they kicked out of their homes, but their legs were also broken. In the future, apart from returning to their hometown to farm, they might not be able to hang out in the imperial city again. Can't go down anymore. But in the end, it was still unclear who was the big talker and leaked the news, but it frightened the servants in the mansion.
Behind the moon gate, in the backyard.
There were only a dozen red goldfish put in the fish pond last month. Each one is more than a foot long. They swim very slowly and lazily, but the color is bright. They are very beautiful swimming in the water. The white carp in the pond is more like a colorful ribbon, which makes people feel happy when they see it.
A winding trail has been built on the fish pond, and there is a beautiful pavilion in the center of the pond. It's evening now, and the night breeze is slightly cool, which is a good time to enjoy the coolness in the pavilion.
Light the mosquito coils, blow the cool breeze, listen to the cicadas chirping around you, and the twinkling stars in the night sky, not to mention it really makes you feel empty and comfortable.
At this time, several servants were standing far away from the fish pond trail, not daring to approach, while a man and a woman were talking in the pavilion in the pond.
The two look somewhat similar and are both very young. The woman was sitting on a chair in the pavilion, shaking a picture fan, describing herself as comfortable. The man was standing, holding on to the fence of the pavilion, with a somewhat anxious look on his face.
"Sister, why don't you go to the palace again to talk to the queen and explain?"
This man's name is Qin Xiuyuan, and he is currently talking about the third room in the Qin family. Sitting next to him was Qin Yurou, the eldest daughter of the Qin family. After getting married, her husband's family suffered a big change and she returned to her natal family.
Qin Xiuyuan is three years younger than Qin Yurou. He has known that his sister is very powerful since he was a child and has always respected her. Now that his daughter encounters such a bad thing, she also wants to ask her eldest sister to help her deal with it.
"I named Xiangyu. I gave her my own "Yu". Naturally, I like the child very much, but this incident has really had a bad impact. Where is Xuanqingwei? It’s not like I don’t know, are there any serious people in there? They are all evil-faced and cruel people, and their courage is boundless.
Being imprisoned in such a dirty place naturally stained Xiangyu's reputation. Even if she is still in perfect condition, it doesn't sound good to outsiders. I think it will be difficult for her to enter King Jing's house again. "
Qin Xiuyuan naturally understood what his sister meant, but the matter couldn't just be let go, right? If there is no such engagement with the royal family, Qin Xiangyu's reputation will be completely ruined in the future. Who would dare to marry her? Even the Qin family will be affected. Isn’t this the reason why my uncle has been looking so sad lately?
Nowadays, no one's path is suitable. The only way to do it is to press down from above and take the queen's path. As long as he kept the engagement, Qin Xiuyuan felt that it was completely acceptable to pay some price.
"Sister, you are deeply loved by the queen. You are the only one who can enter and leave the harem freely. Xiangyu can only rely on your aunt to help her, otherwise Xiangyu will be really ruined in her life. Sister, please help her Take a handful!" Qin Xiuyuan said and bowed again, not caring about his face.
Qin Yurou stretched out her hand to support the other person, sighed, and said after a long time: "Forget it, I'll risk my face and go to the harem for a visit. But I want to say something ugly beforehand. This matter involves the royal family's face, success or failure." Talk about it. If things go south in the end, you have to be mentally prepared, you know?"
"As long as eldest sister is willing to help with this, it's definitely a sure thing, hehe." Qin Xiuyuan straightened up when he heard his sister agreed and smiled happily. He knew how close his sister was in front of the queen. As long as he handed over the words, and Qin Xiangyu was always clean, the queen would probably nod and ignore the rumors outside, and then the marriage would not cause any more troubles.
Qin Yurou smiled and pointed at her younger brother, shaking her head in response to the compliment. Indeed, she was confident that the queen could stabilize the previous marriage between the Qin family and the fifth prince.
"But we can't just let this matter go. Xuan Qingwei is really bullying people too much. I suspect that those in Fengli City are using public weapons for private purposes. Sister, it's possible that they are here for you!" Qin Xiuyuan also sat on the chair. . However, the words did not change the subject, and pointed directly at the root cause of the Qin family's embarrassment this time.
"I don't want to get involved in this matter, do you understand what I mean?"
"Sister, can you just swallow this breath? Wasn't Ren Hai harmed by that person before? And I heard that the fifth prince also didn't deal with that person in Fengri City. If you help thread the thread for the queen again, ,Would not it be......"
"Shut up!"
