The next morning, Qin Jin took Song Deqiu's confession document and went to the inn to find Qin Xue.
"I found the murderer. It was Song Deqiu. He has confessed his guilt." Qin Jin smiled ingratiatingly, hoping that Qin Xue would give him a good look for once.
"Song family?"
Qin suddenly remembered that Song Deqiu was the young man who had come to the house with a betrothal gift some time ago and wanted to marry Xia Qianqian.
It turned out to be him!
"I have put him in prison, and the Song family will make corresponding compensation. From now on, no one will come to mess with your porcelain kiln." Qin Jin said.
Qin Xue looked at him, her eyes still cold.
No matter what Qin Jin did, he couldn't heal the scars in her heart.
Being abandoned by the person closest to you is something you can never forgive in your entire life!
Squeak—
Just then, Xia Qianqian also woke up.
Seeing Qin Xue confronting Qin Jin, she was startled and hurried forward, using her thin body to block Qin Xue from moving forward, staring at Qin Jin warily: "Sir, what do you want?"
Qin Jin felt as if an arrow had hit his heart. He said sadly, "Qianqian, it was Song Deqiu who destroyed the porcelain kiln. I have made him plead guilty and be punished."
"Oh..." Xia Qianqian was quite surprised.
Qin Jin actually stepped forward for her
"You are a genius with a bright future. Keep firing porcelain well. I have confidence in you. If you need anything in the future, just let me know." Qin Jin whispered.
Xia Qianqian sensed Qin Jin's sincerity, and her expression softened as she said, "Then why didn't you tell me that the palace was collecting porcelain?"
"You know?" Qin Jin was stunned and his face changed suddenly.
"I have already announced the imperial edict. I will bring the best porcelain to the capital!" Xia Qianqian held her head high and puffed out her chest, her voice crisp and loud.
The morning sun shone on her.
Qin Jin looked at her and felt that her whole body was shrouded in a layer of hope.
This child has lofty ambitions, but he went to Beijing to present porcelain...
Qin Jin frowned and said cautiously: "If you present porcelain to the capital, you may be kept in the palace in the future."
"Why?" Xia Qianqian asked, "Is there a porcelain kiln in the palace that needs to recruit workers?"
"The Imperial Concubine loves porcelain and appreciates talents. She does have a small porcelain kiln in her palace," said Qin Jin.
Xia Qianqian's eyes twitched, and she muttered to herself: This imperial concubine is so idle! With power and wealth, even someone serves her when she takes a bath, and she actually plays with porcelain? She is comparable to Gu Yanjing.
"There are many rules in the palace, and men are not allowed to enter. But it's different for girls. I'm worried about you. What if the imperial concubine takes a fancy to you and keeps you in her palace forever? What should I do then?" Qin Jin said.
Qin Xue also became worried when she heard this.
Although the palace was full of wealth, it was full of undercurrents and was definitely not the best destination for a girl. She didn't expect her daughter to bring honor to the family, she just wanted the family to be together and live a comfortable life.
"Qianqian, let's not offer porcelain anymore!" Qin Xue advised immediately.
Xia Qianqian said unwillingly: "I have already revealed the imperial edict, and there are many geniuses in the world. My porcelain is not the best and may not be pleasing to the Imperial Concubine."
"But what if..."
"The palace won't recruit married women, right? Gu Changsheng and I are already engaged. If the situation isn't right, we can get married right here." Xia Qianqian smiled slyly, feeling that she was very clever.
Qin Xue's face darkened: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Hehe, I'm going to donate porcelain anyway. I want to promote my porcelain technology across the country, and going to Beijing is the best way." Xia Qianqian said.
