The panic on Qin Linfeng's face only lasted for a moment. He tried to replace it with disdain, but Qin Yunuan's words were like needles piercing through his defence, "If brother had just said it by mistake, then why was the seventh black pearl of the Big Dipper pattern on your belt gone as well? Or was it that brother did not say it by mistake, but was guilty instead?"
The word "guilty" spoken by Qin Yunuan at this moment was rather meaningful. Those who could get it got it immediately, such as Qin Zhi.
Qin Zhi was looking at Qin Linfeng as if he had been looked at an enemy. His tone did not soften at all, "Why are you still covering it? I'll say it one last time, move away your sleeve."
Qin Linfeng reluctantly moved his wide sleeves sideways. There were only exposed thread ends on the end of the Big Dipper Belt. It looked very apparent without the black pearl decoration.
Qin Linfeng was panicked. Qin Yunzhuang was panicked, and ev
Qin Yunuan would skin Qin Linfeng if she could.In these days of rebirth, she had always been holding the attitude of defense. If anyone had tried to hurt her, she would have let them suffer from it themselves. However, the poison gelsemium elegan in Baochuan's breakfast was like a slap on Qin Yunuan's face.There was a murderous look in her eyes, and she stared at Qin Linfeng kneeling on the ground. After all, he was the eldest son of Qin Zhi, and behind him was the big backer of the Dou Family. They had recently won the bid for the operating right to the Grand Canal from the Royal City to Hangzhou. It seems that even though they were "exiled" to the regions south of the River, they had become more prosperous instead of declined. This was something that Qin Yunuan needed to beware and consider. She would need a long-term plan to take down Dou Qing'e and her children.Tinghe's body was temporarily wrapped in a straw mat in a remote place, and X
Looking at the Confucian Classics which was put inside the brocade box carefully by Qin Yunuan and wrapped with white silk, Dou Qing'e felt frustrated immediately and finally smiled reluctantly, "You are so considerate."As expected, Dou Qing'e had already guessed that since there were no characters in the contract, there must be characters in the Confucian Classics. Her tricks had already been decoded by this daughter of the concubine. She had failed in this battle.With the sound of "clumping, clumping", Dou Qing'e sitting on the horse carriage went away. Qin Yunzhuang was reluctant to take back her eyes till the carriage drove out of the lane. She glimpsed at Qin Yunuan beside her and felt extremely unhappy. Yesterday, Qin Yunuan was so disgraced and humiliated. A normal contract was turned to be a white paper, and a proved evidence was turned to be a joke.Qin Yunzhuang hid her kind of malicious eyes and looked askance at Qin Yunuan, "I've
"Third Miss Qin?" Li Jiaxuan straightened his body almost instinctively and an expectation emerged on his slightly red face. With uncovered and surprising delight in his eyes, he put up and down the chopsticks repeatedly. A few minutes later, he calmed down with no red on his face and said politely, "Since we are acquainted with her, we should go to greet her.""You shouldn’t," Li Weijun sneered, "Now she was dating with her lover. Brother, you will disturb their sweet love.""Weijun!" Li Jiaxuan shouted seriously, "You are a little maiden and you shouldn’t speak that sultry words.Li Weijun was more unconvinced and she raised her head, shouting, "What? She can do that but I can't say it?""Weijun!" Li Jiaxuan turned angry and stood up, looking up and down at Li Weijun as restive as himself. His voice seemed to be softer, "Are you sure that you have seen that?"Li Weijun turned back, "No, but I can make sure that there
"She's really fast," Qin Yunuan murmured and then stood up. With her dress tidied, she asked Maner to take Li Qiqi in.The door opened again after a short while. With her hair tied into a loose chignon, Li Qiqi wore a bright red skirt and a matching coat with ruffles today. Instead of being an exquisite like other ladies, she came out in full splendor of her beauty, which, due to her youth, made her look more attractive and charming. For those whose beauty was withering away like Dou Qing'e, it might be inappropriate to dress up in this way.But what Qin Zhi wanted from Li Qiqi was her youth, wasn't it?"Concubine Li, you should have informed me that you were going to pay a visit. Maner, serve tea for Concubine Li," Qin Yunuan exchanged conventional greetings while pulling Li Qiqi onto the couch."No, no. Don't bother," Li Qiqi waved her hand with a smile. Having witnessed the schemes in this family for long, Li Qiqi seemed more ob
"Concubine Li, we're here," The driver spoke softly into the carriage.The grey-black carriage parked on flat ground. Further ahead was the wet riverside mud. The light green lake was rippling in the wind. A simple and ancient thatched cottage was hidden among the mountains. The room, as well as the bamboo fence in front of the house, was half-old. It remained unknown who set up such a quaint thatched cottage in this mountainous area years ago to reside in seclusion.Few people came to this place. Li Qiqi got down from the carriage and looked around for Qin Yunuan. The concierge said to her that Qin Yunuan had already left the house for the east a little earlier before, about the time of a column of incense. She must have a date. It shouldn't be mistaken.There was only the sound of tits fluttering around, and the driver was waiting downhill. Li Qiqi could only climb up the stairs by herself. Watching the dark red carriage on the mountainside f
Li Qiqi saw people fighting in the pleasure quarters, so she was rather calm. However, Li Weijun, who stood behind the door, was so scared that her face was pale like white paper. Pulling the door frame, she wouldn't stop crying, "Sister Qin, how... How could this happen? Was Shangguan's young master dead for sure?"This girl from a wealthy and influential family had never seen a dead chicken, let alone a dead man."Enough, shut up." Although Qin Yunzhuang scolded Li Weijun quite sternly, there was fear in her calm voice. Qin Yunuan was not in the house, and Li Qiqi was drugged. Everything strayed from her expectation and scheme. Now that Shangguan Rang died tragically for no reason. With a wounded chest but not murderous weapon in the house, a shivering fear climbed on her backbone.Qin Yunzhuang's throat choked. Desperately slowing down her heartbeat, she tried to think about what her mother would have done if she had been present.
Qin Yunuan's tone was as faint as the breeze sweeping through a pine forest, and her glance was as wide as the sea surface. Leng Wu couldn't help but stunned. He followed Leng Changxi at war for many years. Even men would be nervous and frightened when they first saw dead people on the battlefield, let alone a woman. However, the Third Miss Qin stayed so calm towards such a sudden incident, which really proved her better than the others. No wonder his general cared so much about this woman.Leng Wu didn't seem to show any resistance because of Leng Changxi's command. He arched his hands and said, "Just ask me anything, Third Miss Qin."He thought that Qin Yunuan would ask about why his general asked him to follow her, or why these people wanted to assassinate her today. He thought that she would either be emotional or angry, but what Qin Yunuan asked was, "These people who tried to kill me, were they actually after your general?"Her guess was
The person behind didn't make a sound. She just rubbed a little bit like a little rabbit and shrunk in the thick crane robe. Leng Changxi was relieved, and his face even raised a never-before-seen satisfaction.The air in dawn was a bit thin, and the temperature of Mount Sheshan was even lower. Just as Leng Changxi said, the nearest road back had been destroyed because of a landslide, so they could only choose a bumpy trail.Leng Changxi brought six people. Two of them were ahead leading the way. Leng Wu and Leng Changxi walked in the middle. Two were walking behind for protection and the remaining two were guarding on both sides. It was a commonly seen formation in the army. It was practical.Leng Changxi really was a very strict and cautious person.Some bushes on their way had small thorns. Leng Changxi carefully guarded both sides of Qin Yunuan with his big hands, so as not to let her get scratched. Maner was asleep on Leng Wu'
