Qin Ge had just finished his fried noodles and was talking contentedly to Mrs. Qin when he suddenly heard a commotion outside. He was startled and opened the door to go out.
Dahai and several other servants and maids who served him were tied up and made to kneel in the courtyard. Qin Jin stood aside with a whip in his hand.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Qin Ge's face changed drastically.
"What is the purpose of committing suicide?" Qin Jin asked sternly.
Qin Ge thought to himself that something was wrong, but his face remained calm: "I wanted to recognize my aunt. But it hurt too much after I hit the wall, so I gave up."
"Will you give up?" Qin Jin whipped Dahai on the back, and Dahai screamed.
Qin Ge was startled, feeling as if the whip had hit him. He hid behind Madam Qin and said, "Mom, Dad doesn't believe me."
"Master, Ge'er knows his mistake and corrects it, why do you still want to scare him?" Mrs. Qin protected her son with heartache.
Qin Jin said, "You know you're wrong and you correct it? Madam, you underestimate your son! What did Dahai do when he left the house today?"
Dahai shook his head vigorously at Qin Jin, indicating that he did not betray him.
Qin Ge felt relieved and said, "I asked Dahai to go out and give money to my aunt, but he didn't find her and came back. Oh, Dahai hasn't returned the money to me yet!"
Qin Jin winked at Butler Li, who stepped forward to search Dahai's body and indeed found a heavy purse.
"Where did you get the money?" Qin Jin asked.
"My mother gave it to me. But my mother didn't know what I wanted the money for. She was just afraid that I would commit suicide again, so she gave me the money to coax me." Qin Ge said confidently, but secretly pulled Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin understood and said quickly, "Master, Ge'er has grown up, it's not right for him to have no money. He promised me that he would never run away from home again, we should give him some pocket money."
"You give him money, but he gives it to others!" Qin Jin angrily confiscated the money. Useless Dahai, he couldn't even give money away! It was freezing cold, and I didn't know if the three of them, mother and daughter, had food and shelter...
"Anyway, our family doesn't lack this little money, but my aunt's family is poor. Dad, you don't allow me to recognize her, but can you at least let me help her?" Qin Ge said.
Qin Jin also wanted to help her, after all, she was his sister! But he couldn't show it, and left angrily.
Qin Ge secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had the foresight to ask Dahai to prepare some silver in advance.
"Ge'er, where did you get the money?" Mrs. Qin poked his forehead warningly. She didn't give him any money at all.
"I got it by pawning my clothes." Qin Ge grinned and pestered Madam Qin, "Mom, please ask someone to redeem my clothes for me."
Mrs. Qin said helplessly: "Your grandmother will not give in. No matter what you do, she will not let your aunt go home."
"Not necessarily. What if there is something more important than the family's reputation?" Qin Ge blinked cunningly. For example, his father's official hat. The note he wrote to Xia Qianqian was the trump card. Things would definitely turn around tomorrow.
———
The night passed peacefully, Xia Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Qin Jin. However, the servants he secretly sent out had not yet found the whereabouts of Qin Xue and her mother and daughter. Could it be that they had already left Lu'an Prefecture
After breakfast, Qin Jin was about to go talk to Li Sui again when a servant came to pass on the message: "Sir, there is a Mr. Gu from Pan County who wants to see you."
Qin Jin's heart sank. What was supposed to come finally came.
When Qin Ge heard "Mr. Gu", his eyes immediately lit up: Is Gu Changsheng here too
