Qin Yining stood in front of Cao Yuqing's room, raised her hand lightly, and hesitated for a while without falling.
This matter was originally her speculation and suspicion, and it didn't make sense to ask Cao Yuqing at this time.
Yes, Cao Yuqing has motivation and this ability. But who said that the motivation and ability must be her hands
"Why don't you come in?"
At this moment, Cao Yuqing's hoarse voice came from behind the door.
With a creak, the grille door was pushed open. Cao Yuqing, dressed in plain white and white silk flowers, stood in front of the door expressionlessly, looking at Qin Yining with a pair of charming eyes.
"Aunt Cao." Qin Yining was a little embarrassed, but Cao Yuqing was a smart person, so she couldn't be fooled.
Qin Yining followed Cao Yuqing's footsteps into the house, leaving all the maids outside the door, and then whispered, "I heard that something happened to the Dai family."
Cao Yuqing put a cup of hot tea by Qin Yining's hand and calmly sat down opposite her.
"I do the work for the family."
Qin Yining looked at Cao Yuqing's slightly worried eyebrows and sighed, "Mm."
Cao Yuqing was a little surprised.
Qin Yining came here, isn't it to question her
"Why didn't you ask me? Why didn't you call me cold-blooded and ruthless?" Cao Yuqing stared straight at Qin Yining, her red and swollen eyes were bloodshot again, and tears rolled in her eyes, "Damn that person! Behind their family Those who slander Qin Meng should be damned!"
Qin Yining's lips moved, "There are still innocent people."
"Innocent?" Cao Yuqing laughed mockingly, tears falling from the corners of her eyes, "I also left their family, children, women and children! But what about Qin Meng? Who has considered how innocent Qin Meng is? , who has never done anything bad in his life, who will pity him?"
Cao Yuqing stood up abruptly, clutching her hair in pain, "I have known Qin Meng for so many years, and I know that he is the most intelligent and straightforward man in the world. He doesn't want me to become a tool for fertility, nor does he want to give me hope after Made me hurt your mother in the inner house and changed myself, so he was straight with me from the beginning.
"I still love him to this day. I can give my life for him, but all of these are of my own free will. Qin Meng has never lied to me, and never thought of using tenderness to bind and use me."
Cao Yuqing looked at Qin Yining with red and swollen eyes, "Your father is a good man, and his actions are worthy of the heaven and the earth. Could it be that he is not innocent because of his tragic death!"
Qin Yining's tears fell rustling.
The hatred in her heart was never less than that of Cao Yuqing.
"Aunt Cao, if I had skills like yours, I might kill Dai Lin at night too. I understand how you feel." It's just that she is not as ruthless as Cao Yuqing.
When Cao Yuqing saw a lot of blood and rain, she was like a sharp blade. If she was in the hands of a decent person, she would be able to do decent things, just like Qin Huaiyuan. But now Qin Huai is far away, the person holding the knife is gone, this sharp blade contains resentment, and Qin Yining will not be surprised how bloody things are done.
Qin Yining wanted to persuade Cao Yuqing, but she knew that no one could persuade Cao Yuqing in her current state.
"Aunt Cao, you should calm down these days. Your face is very bad, and you have to take care of it. As for my father's affairs, we will discuss it in the long run when the funeral is over."
Cao Yuqing looked at Qin Yining and made sure she was not trying to appease her for the time being, so she nodded slowly.
"it is good."
Qin Yining and Cao Yuqing ate some japonica rice porridge together and went to the mourning hall in the front yard.
I didn't see the second and third masters, and I asked the maid before I knew that someone from Shuntian Mansion was in the front hall to ask questions.
"It was said that something happened on behalf of the family last night, and people from Shuntian Prefecture came to our house to ask."
After all, there was a lot of trouble in front of the Qin Mansion yesterday. If Ji Zeyu didn't arrive in time, no one would know what would have happened. Qin Yining would have used his axe on the spot.
"Princess, will Shuntian Prefecture suspect our family?" Bingtang was a little worried.
"It's fine. Even if you ask me, I will speak bluntly." Qin Yining sneered, "Dailin has offended many people. If someone asks, I will ask back, who is having a funeral at home, like a slut like Dailin. If I block the door to make trouble, and slander the deceased with foul language, who wouldn't be angry at home? Being suspicious doesn't mean I did it."
Bingtang nodded and stopped talking about this topic.
I don't know what the second master and the third master said, but the people of Shuntian Palace did not ask the female family members in the house in the future.
However, in the afternoon, Qin Yining received another piece of news that shocked the court and the public.
"The sage seized Duke Dingguo's tiger talisman. Now Duke Dingguo only holds the title and doesn't care about court affairs."
Qin Yining looked at Ji Yun who was answering in shock, "Can you take it seriously?"
"Naturally, it's true, the news has spread all over the place now." Ji Yun said and bowed, then retreated, leaving the side hall to a few masters, and brought people to guard the door carefully.
Qin Yining looked at the second and third masters beside him, "It turned out to be like this."
The third master slapped the table fiercely, "It's ridiculous! A hero like Ding Guogong was deprived of power just because he came to give the eldest brother a pillar of incense. This is not to tell everyone that they are not allowed to communicate with our Qin family. !"
The second master said in a low voice, "Isn't this even more telling, who sent Dailin? Maybe if the Dailin family didn't have an accident, Duke Dingguo wouldn't come here."
Several people could not help but be silent.
Cao Yuqing's eyes narrowed, "So, it's very likely that Dai Lin was the one who arranged it! Qin Meng went away, and he didn't even let out a fart. Even if Qin Meng lost his life, he didn't decide what was the cause. It's still not good for the public to die in the line of duty, such a hazy attitude makes everyone dare not step forward, finally a courageous person comes, and he will be angered!"
Cao Yuqing's voice was getting lower and lower, and the last word seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, "If he hadn't sent people to the north to reward the army, the people would not have disappeared like this! Looking at his watch now, I can see that it is very Maybe Qin Meng was caught by him..."
"Aunt Cao!"
Qin Yining stopped the words behind Cao Yuqing.
She looked left and right, indicating that Cao Yuqing had ears on the wall.
Cao Yuqing took a few deep breaths before suppressing the indignation and said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
Qin Yining shook his head.
It seems that Li Qitian is already winning.
What's going on in the South? Although she could get news from the south, after all, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and it has been a long time since the news reached her. Maybe Li Qitian has a faster and more direct way to learn about news from all over the world.
So he saw that Pang Xiao wouldn't move, so he would take Ji Zeyu's military power with confidence and boldness? Otherwise, if someone was to be used temporarily, would he still be shy to give orders? Ji Zeyu is not a person who usually takes responsibility for it, even if he will obey the order and be loyal to Li Qitian, with Li Qitian's suspiciousness, wouldn't he doubt it
"If that's the case, our family's affairs will also tire Duke Dingguo." The second master sighed, "I have already begged for an official post with Shangfeng, and my colleagues all knew that I was going to send Linghui Township, but no one said anything. "
The third master said: "Now that there is an example of Duke Dingguo, who would dare to say more? Whoever treats our family better will be unlucky together."
Cao Yuqing's hand was clenched tightly, and a cold glow flashed in her eyes. Qin Yining saw that her expression was wrong, so she grabbed her hand.
Cao Yuqing's hands were very cold, and her fingertips were shaking for no apparent reason.
Qin Yining pressed hard and looked at Cao Yuqing with a warning.
Cao Yuqing managed to get out of the hatred she was immersed in. She remembered what Qin Yining said just now, everything must be done after the funeral, and what she wants to do will need to be considered in the future.
After all, Cao Yuqing did not have the confidence to sneak into the palace and kill Li Qitian under heavy guards without causing disaster to the Qin family.
"Princess! The second master, the third master!" The maid suddenly heard a slightly anxious voice in the courtyard, "The madam is back, and I ran to the mourning hall at this time. it is good!"
Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat, patted Cao Yuqing's hand comfortingly, and hurried to the mourning hall.
***
In the Ci'an Palace at this time, Li Helan was holding the Queen Mother's hand and crying: "Queen Mother, the concubine is just kind-hearted. When passing by the Qin family, she saw that there was trouble in front of their door, and she interrupted, how could it be a heinous crime? After all, it is a family, and the emperor took the tiger talisman of the concubine without hesitation, so how can people outside talk about it? How do you think about our family?"
Li Helan was crying while covering her face. Now she just wants to please Ji Zeyu wholeheartedly. The more time passes, the more she can't bear Ji Zeyu's handsome face and meritorious deeds. When something happened to Ji Zeyu, but she didn't come to ask her for mercy, Li Helan naturally wouldn't wait. Ji Zeyu took the initiative to speak, and he came to ask the queen mother first.
If she does this, Ji Zeyu will remember her kindness anyway, right? Ji Zeyu is so proud, Xu is a concubine, but he doesn't want to make people think that his high-ranking officials and wealth are all relying on the identity of concubine. Now this happened, isn't it the chance that God gave her to discover
Thinking of this, Li Helan cried even more sadly.
The queen mother rubbed her forehead and said tiredly, "Can you stop making trouble for the Ai family?"
"Why is this looking for trouble? With half a son-in-law, what's wrong with Ji Lan? The mother said something for Ji Lan, not only for her daughter, but also for the emperor's brother. Who does not know in the imperial court today? Ji Lan will lead troops and fight? In the future, the emperor will probably use Ji Lan when he will."
"If you use it and then use it again, can Ji Lan be able to resist the decree and disrespect?" The queen mother pushed away Li Helan's hand and said, "Aijia doesn't want to mix these things anymore, you are Aijia My daughter, can't you think about the Aijia?"
"Empress mother, you should love your daughter. The daughter wants to go directly to the royal brother, but the royal brother refuses to see his daughter at all. Even if he does, the royal brother will not listen to what the daughter says, and your words have weight. "
The queen mother sneered, "What weight can Aijia say now? Even her cousin and niece can't protect her, let alone her concubine. You should die."
"indeed so."
The queen mother's voice fell, and there was a low voice from Li Qitian in front of the hall.
The Empress Dowager and Li Helan were both taken aback and hurriedly stood up.
