When Xiang'er returned to Hexiangyuan with the basket, Tang Qiaoyin, who was sitting under the corridor embroidering, immediately put down her things and looked expectant.

"Has Brother Yao eaten yet?"

"Auntie, Master Yao said he doesn't want to eat." Xiang'er said carefully, "I think it's because the weather is hot, Master Yao has no appetite."

Tang Qiaoyin's face immediately darkened.

She specially made some snacks and asked Xiang'er to deliver them.

Because of the fight that Qin Guangyao got into in the clan school last time, a rift developed between the mother and son, and Qin Guangyao no longer came to Hexiangyuan.

However, she had been reprimanded by Old Madam Qin and did not dare to go to her son easily, so she could only make some snacks and send them to ease the relationship.

Unexpectedly, Brother Yao still refused to accept it this time. This was the third time he was rejected.

At this moment, her hatred for Li Jingwan deepened.

If Li Jingwan hadn't interfered and instigated secretly, how could Yaoger have distanced himself from his biological mother?

It’s a pity that she is now a concubine, weak and powerless, and last time Yao Ge’er was implicated, so she dare not act rashly again.

"Aunt, how about you go with me to deliver the snacks next time?" Xiang'er suggested.

"Master Yao will definitely eat when he sees you. He has always liked you."

"Wait a little longer." Tang Qiaoyin sighed, "I haven't been feeling well these past two days. I don't have much energy."

This is one reason. The second is that after a few days, when Yao Ge’er’s anger has subsided, he will be easier to talk to.

After all, children have short memories.

"The Marquis should have returned home." Tang Qiaoyin put down the embroidery and looked at the sky.

"Invite the Marquis to the courtyard for dinner, and tell him that I specially prepared two side dishes."

Xiang'er hesitated for a moment.

"Auntie, I saw the kitchen steward delivering food on my way back. He said the Marquis will have dinner at the Young Madam's courtyard tonight."

Sure enough, Tang Qiaoyin's face changed when she heard it, and she pushed the embroidery basket beside her to the ground.

Li Jingwan, this vixen, not only instigated her son, but also seduced Qin Changzhou.

When she becomes the mistress in the future, I will make her repay me double.

In Youlanju, Li Jingwan personally held the wine jug and poured wine for Qin Changzhou.

"My Lord, this is fruit wine from the Western Regions. It tastes sweet and won't irritate your throat. Please try it."

Bi Tao said from the side.

"My Lord, the young mistress specially asked someone to bring it back from the southeast coast. She put a lot of thought into it. Besides, not many people in the capital can drink this wine."

"You're too talkative." Li Jingwan pretended to be angry, "I didn't ask you to speak."

Qin Changzhou was satisfied with what he heard.

Recently, he found that Li Jingwan was becoming more gentle and submissive towards him.

Today I specially sent someone to wait at the second gate just to have dinner with him.

I couldn't help feeling proud.

Sure enough, because Tang Qiaoyin came into the house, Li Jingwan's dissatisfaction and indifference did not last long, and she was still eagerly looking forward to his coming.

"Madam is thoughtful."

Qin Changzhou picked up the wine glass and took a sip. It was indeed sweet and light in taste, different from the wine in the capital, so he drank it all in one gulp.

Li Jingwan took the wine jug and added more wine. "My Lord, please try these dishes. We asked the kitchen to prepare them a few days in advance."

Qin Changzhou tasted it and found it tasted good, so he drank another glass.

Anyway, this wine tastes light, so it's okay to drink more.

Li Jingwan kept adding wine to the pot. After drinking half a pot, Qin Changzhou's face turned red and his reaction became much slower.

He didn't know that although fruit wine tasted light, it had a strong aftertaste.

"My Lord, you can drink quite a lot. I heard that people in the northwest are very generous when drinking. My Lord has been here for so long, you may have been influenced by them." Li Jingwan asked with a smile.

Qin Changzhou was quite proud of her flattery tonight.

"The conditions in the northwest are poor, and the winter is bitterly cold. Drinking warms the body, so the men there like to drink, especially strong liquor."

"I see." Li Jingwan looked at him admiringly.

"Your Majesty knows so much, but it's a pity that I'm just a woman, trapped in the house all day long, and I can't fight on the battlefield like you, guard the borders, and defend my country."

Li Jingwan poured him another glass and raised her own glass, "My Lord, this glass of wine is for you."

Under the bright candlelight, Qin Changzhou, through his drunken eyes, felt that she was more beautiful and dazzling than before. With a thought in his mind, he picked up the wine glass and leaned forward, "Madam, please too."

Li Jingwan stepped back, smiling, "My Lord, please."

After drinking, Li Jingwan brought up matters concerning the Northwest again.

"My Lord, the environment in the northwest is bad, with strong winds and sandstorms. Is there anyone really willing to live here? I guess they are all poor people."

Qin Changzhou laughed out loud, thinking that Li Jingwan's question was childish and ridiculous, but he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Sure enough, even though Li Jingwan is the legitimate daughter of the Li family, she has little knowledge.

"Madam, you don't know that the Northwest is not poor, otherwise the small countries on the border would not invade."

Li Jingwan was very interested. "Then, Lord, tell me what's fun? Where is a comfortable place to stay? Where do you like to go on weekdays?"

Looking at her admiring and expectant eyes, Qin Changzhou felt even more proud. The drunkenness also increased his desire to talk, so he told her everything in detail.

Li Jingwan listened very carefully, adding more wine for him from time to time, and before he knew it, he had finished a jar of fruit wine.

"No...I don't want to drink anymore." Qin Changzhou waved his hands and said with a big tongue, "Madam, help me...help me...let's go to bed..."

He reached out to grab Li Jingwan's hand, but she dodged him.

"My Lord, I still want to hear you tell me interesting stories about the Northwest."

Just as he finished speaking, Xiang'er walked in.

"This servant greets the Marquis and the Young Madam."

"Xiang'er, what's the matter?" Li Jingwan asked, but in fact she had already guessed it.

She specifically asked Xiang'er to tell Tang Qiaoyin that Qin Changzhou would be having dinner at Youlanju tonight, so that Tang Qiaoyin could call him away.

If Qin Changzhou stayed in Youlanju, she would rather burn down the yard.

Xiang'er said, "Madam, Aunt Tang is not feeling well, and I would like to ask the Marquis to come over and take a look."

Qin Changzhou waved his hands drunkenly, "No."

He wanted to stay and let Li Jingwan serve him, and give her a chance tonight.

"My Lord, please go and take a look. Aunt Tang has just been in the mansion and may not be used to it yet."

Li Jingwan gave Bitao a look.

Bi Tao understood and immediately waved for two servants to come in and help Qin Changzhou up.

"My Lord, please go to the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard first today, and we will talk next time."

After Li Jingwan finished speaking, she called Si Shun in again.

"Carefully send the Marquis to Concubine Tang's courtyard and let Concubine Tang take good care of him."

As soon as Qin Changzhou left, Li Jingwan's fake smile fell off her face, and she waved her hands in front of her face with a look of disgust.

"Cui Yu, throw away everything on the table."

Anything that Qin Changzhou touched only made her feel disgusted.

If it wasn't for the purpose of extracting information, he would not have killed her and would not have sat with the enemies of the Li family and tried to curry favor with them.

Fortunately, a lot of information was extracted from Qin Changzhou tonight, which will become the key to revealing the true identity of Qin Lingyun and her brother in the future.

-

Two days later, Li Jingwan received the news and left home on the pretext of checking the shop and went to a silk shop under her name.

In the backyard of the shop, Xiang Mingfang and Zhu Gaozhi were already waiting.

When Zhu Gaozhi saw her, he looked excited and spoke loudly.

"Miss, guess how much money we made on this trip?"
