When Qin Shu returned to the city yesterday, she discovered that the notice originally posted at the city gate for the arrest of Qin An Ning was gone.
I didn’t see it on the wall next to the governor’s office today.
Since there was no news in Jinzhou that Qin Anning was arrested, it is possible that the case was withdrawn artificially.
There is no one else except Prince Ning who can wipe out this matter so thoroughly.
Therefore, Qin An Ning must have surrendered to King Ning.
He hated Qin Shu so much that he would definitely try every means to get King Ning to deal with Qin Shu.
Qin An Ning has been on the run for more than three months, and Liu Weiran has not been taken away, which means that Qin Jingchang did not tell Qin An Ning the secret of the blood jade bracelet.
It can make that person kill a madman...
Could it be that Qin An Ning wants to take Liu Weiran away?
Qin Shu couldn't figure it out, but she didn't dare to ask directly.
After all, it is quite presumptuous to ask such a question to a stranger who has “never met” you before.
But it is certain that the man who killed people must have discovered something.
The consequence of letting the murder go would definitely threaten the interests of Qin Shu or King Jin.
Just as I was daydreaming, Qingliu came in and said, "Miss, the carriage from Prince Liang's mansion has arrived."
When Qin Shu just returned home, Qing Liu handed her the invitation from the princess inviting Qin Shu to visit the palace.
I didn't expect that the palace's carriage had arrived just as I returned from the government office.
I don't know what the rush is.
Qin Shu had no choice but to put aside her doubts for the time being and wait until she returned from the palace to find Wang Quezi and question him in detail.
She changed into clothes suitable for going out, asked Qingliu to take the first month's dividend of the rouge shop that was settled in advance, prepared some gifts, and got on the carriage of the palace with her people.
This time, the maid took Qin Shu directly to the concubine's courtyard.
It turned out that the concubine wanted to see her.
Qin Shu bowed deeply, and waited until the Concubine Dowager called her before she looked up and glanced around quickly: there were only the Concubine Dowager and an old maid in the room, as well as several invisible maids in the hall.
There is also the smiling Zhou Wan.
The princess was not there, and neither was anyone else.
Qin Shu suppressed her doubts and bowed to Zhou Wanfu, "My humble daughter Qin Shu greets the princess."
Zhou Wan then jumped over, took Qin Shu's hand and said with a smile: "Oh, Sister Qin, I finally got you back. Look at you, you didn't even tell me about such an interesting thing as trying to grow new crops, so that I could have a try too."
Qin Shu smiled and said, "If the princess likes it, I will inform her when the new grain is harvested. Please come and visit her."
Zhou Wan smiled and said, "Then let's make it a deal."
The concubine smiled and said, "Okay, I know you like it. Grandmother has something to say to Qin girl, but you guys keep snatching it away."
After that, he gave Qin Shu a seat and said to Zhou Wan, "Go and see what your mother is busy with. The birthday of the old concubine of Prince Yu's family is coming soon. Ask your mother to prepare a gift list and bring it to me."
Zhou Wan knew that her grandmother wanted to talk to Qin Shu alone, so she winked at Qin Shu and left.
The Concubine smiled and waved at Qin Shu, "Come closer, let me see."
Qin Shu stood up and walked to the concubine's seat, kneeling on her footstool.
The concubine bent down, took Qin Shu's hand, and helped her up. She came closer to take a closer look, and said to the old nanny beside her with a smile: "What a neat child. Her appearance reminds me of the Empress Duansu back then."
Empress Duansu is the present emperor's first wife and the biological mother of the late crown prince.
Qin Shu immediately broke out in a cold sweat and quickly knelt down, saying, "I am a humble and lowly woman, how dare I compare myself to Empress Duansu? Your Majesty, the Dowager Concubine, is so kind to me, I am really terrified."
Toffee smiled and raised his hand.
Qin Shu thanked her and stood up.
The concubine laughed and said, "No wonder the wife of the Yongyi Marquis always praises you in front of me for being well-behaved, sensible and considerate. I laughed at her bragging, saying that every girl in the Yongyi Marquis's mansion is dignified, well-educated and well-mannered. But you envy the girls from other families."
"After seeing her today, I realized that although the old lady of the Xiao family is quite old, her eyes are still very useful."
Only after hearing this did Qin Shu understand the real purpose of the old concubine calling her here.
The attitude of Nanny Yu beside Old Madam Xiao is the same as the attitude of Old Madam Xiao.
The rouge shop has been open for such a long time, but the young lady of the Xiao family has never been to the store to buy anything. She must have been seriously warned by Madam Xiao.
How could she possibly praise Qin Shu in front of the old concubine?
I guess someone passed the message and asked the old concubine to test Qin Shu.
Thinking of this, Qin Shu smiled and said, "It was Madam Xiao who gave me a favor. Last year, my parents passed away and I wanted to go to Pudu Temple to pray for them, but I never thought I would run into bandits on the way. It was Master Xiao and my brother who happened to pass by and saved me."
"Master Xiao heard that I was going to Pudu Temple as well, and the maidservant who was guarding the temple had met with misfortune, so it was difficult for him to go alone. It just so happened that Madam Xiao was also going to Pudu Temple to worship Buddha, so she took me with her."
"At Pudu Temple, I was very grateful to Old Madam Xiao for taking care of me. After returning to the city, I was able to prove my innocence thanks to Aunt Yu who was by the old madam's side."
"Mrs. Xiao has been very kind to me, and I am grateful to her. Even if I were to repay her with a favor, it would still be difficult to repay her even a fraction of it."
After hearing what Qin Shu said, the old concubine subconsciously glanced at the old nanny.
This makes it clear.
At that time, it should be Qin's grandfather who asked Xiao Cheng for help. The wife of the Earl of Yongyi happened to be in Pudu Temple, so Qin's grandfather and Xiao Cheng sent the girl over there.
The fact that the girl from the Qin family just brushed aside the life-saving grace of the sixth son of the Xiao family proved that she had no other intentions towards the child.
It was the Sixth Son of the Xiao Family who had developed feelings for her, which caused the Lady of the Earl of Yongyi to be on guard against the girl from the Qin Family.
The old concubine looked down upon the wife of the Earl of Yongyi's behavior, and because Qin Shu cured Zhou Wan's face, she felt a little closer to Qin Shu.
She smiled and took Qin Shu's hand, and asked, "How is the trial planting of new crops going on your farm?"
Qin Shu said, "My Lady Concubine, the new crops have been planted, most of the sweet potato seedlings have grown, and the others have sprouted. When the new crops bear fruit, I will present it to your Lady Concubine as soon as possible."
Hearing this, the Concubine Dowager knew that the girl understood what she meant by "like Empress Duansu".
Qin was making it clear to her that she did not intend to use the new crops to try to gain a position beside a certain prince. If Prince Liang wanted this credit, she would offer it with both hands.
What a smart girl!
It’s a pity that I was born in a merchant family.
If she was born in a wealthy family, such an intelligent girl might really be able to strive for the position of the supreme woman in the world.
The concubine said: "I am an old woman, and I don't know so much. But this trial planting of new crops is a great thing that will benefit the country and the people of the world."
She patted Qin Shu's hand vigorously and said in a more serious tone: "You did a great job!"
Qin Shu quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Madam Concubine, for your praise."
The concubine then smiled and said, "You have been talking to me for so long. Wan'er has been waiting for you for so long. I wonder how she will blame me. You young girls are talkative. Go and play with her."
Qin Shu smiled and said yes, then slowly walked out.
Only after leaving the hospital did Qin Shu let out a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, before she could finish her breath, another maid came over and said to her, "Miss Qin, the princess wants to see you."
