Lin Shuyue tapped her forehead with amusement, thought for a moment, and then said softly: "Those dignitaries have nothing to do with us, what are you afraid of?

But the capital city is not like those small places like our Sishui County. You should be careful with your words and not let others take advantage of you.

But if you encounter those unreasonable people, don't be afraid, I am not someone you can easily mess with."

Lin Shuyue has no power or influence, but whoever provokes her should be prepared to have his house emptied out.

If the open approach doesn't work, she can do it secretly!

"Miss, we've arrived at Guangju Tower." Qingsheng shouted from outside the carriage.

"Let's go."

Lin Shuyue and the two little girls got off the carriage, and Qingsheng drove the carriage to the horse post next to the restaurant and parked it.

"Sir, please come in!"

A round-faced waiter's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Shuyue who had just walked in. He threw the towel over his shoulder and greeted her warmly.

It was dinner time and the lobby was packed with guests, with only a few empty seats.

"Young man, are there any private rooms upstairs?" Qingsheng asked.

The round-faced waiter said apologetically, "Sir, I'm really sorry, the private room upstairs is fully booked. There is an empty table in the corner of the lobby. What do you think?"

The waiter pointed to an empty table against the wall in the lobby and glanced at Lin Shuyue covertly.

"Okay, sit there."

This answer was within Lin Shuyue's expectations, and she led the three of them to the empty table in the corner.

The pretty and lively girl always attracts everyone's attention. Wherever she goes, people keep looking at her.

Fortunately, Qing Sheng, who was tall and stern, followed closely beside him, which made people more restrained.

The round-faced waiter wiped the table again with the white towel on his shoulder with a smile. After a while, a younger waiter came and served them hot tea.

After ordering some signature dishes, Lin Shuyue drank her tea and looked at the guests around her.

Most of the people sitting in the lobby are wealthy people who have some money but are reluctant to spend it to book a private room.

Of course, there are also some wealthy gourmets who couldn’t book a private room, like the middle-aged man who was happily eating at the table in front of her.

One only needs to look at the jade fan casually placed next to him to know that he is a wealthy man.

Although the restaurant was packed with guests, the food was not served slowly.

Drunken Spring Goose, Lotus Duck, Peony Fish Fillet, Jade Belt Shrimp, etc. are all signature dishes recommended by the round-faced waiter. The master and his servants were very satisfied with the meal.

After eating, Qingsheng took the money to the counter to pay the bill. Because there were so many people, they had to queue, so Lin Shuyue took Qinghe and Qingzhi out of the restaurant first.

As soon as she reached the door, she heard hurried footsteps. She was about to look back, but she was quick-witted and immediately pulled Qinghe and Qingzhi to the right.

Then a young man in brocade clothes and holding a folding fan came out of the restaurant angrily with two servants. He passed by the three people and got directly into a carriage.

"Go to Xuanping Marquis Mansion!"

The man's voice was filled with anger, but the coachman seemed to be used to it and drove the carriage away calmly.

"Who made the young master of Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion angry?"

The guests in the lobby saw people walking away and started gossiping among themselves.

"Don't you know? I heard that the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion and the eldest son of the Marquis of Xuanping Mansion got married."

"I heard about this. Isn't this a good thing?"

"Don't you know? Yesterday, the eldest son of the Marquis Xuanping and the second daughter of the second house of the Minister of War Qin had a secret meeting in the pavilion by the lake in Tangyuan!"

"Secret meeting? Big brother, tell us what happened?" Someone who didn't know the situation came forward with shining eyes.

The man did not keep the secret and said excitedly: "It's a strange thing to say, the railing of the pavilion was fine, but it suddenly broke for some reason, and both of them fell into the lake.

Unfortunately, neither of them knew how to swim, and they sent the servants away. The eldest son of the Xuanping Marquisate could only desperately shout for help, attracting other guests to the garden, and only then was he able to save his life. "

"But, hehe..."

The man who was speaking raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice, "I heard that someone saw the two of them falling down hugging each other. When the second girl of the Qin family was fished out, her collar was open. What do you call that? Half of her shoulders were exposed, hehe..."

At this time, someone at the next table came over and said, "I heard that in order to suppress this matter, the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion secretly sent people to silence the people who were present yesterday.

Tsk tsk tsk…I guess it cost a lot of money.”

"Is this true? So the young master of the Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion left in anger after knowing about this?"

"It's almost certain. Maybe someone upstairs just mentioned this matter and the young master of Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion heard it.

But anyone would be angry about this, this is just slapping the face of the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion..."

"Hey, do you think the young master of the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion is so hot-tempered that he will come to our door directly? Then the capital will be in for a lot of trouble..."

Lin Shuyue, Qinghe and Qingzhi stood at the door of the restaurant and listened to everything that was said in the lobby. After Qingsheng paid the bill, the four of them got on the carriage without saying a word.

"Miss, is the Minister of War's residence they are talking about... the home of Lord Qin?"

Qing He said hesitantly.

"Yeah." Lin Shuyue frowned slightly and nodded.

After interacting with Brother Qin for so long, the Lin family has a general understanding of his family situation.

The old man of the Qin family had three sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Qin Shuhai, was born to his wife, the old lady Qin. The second son, Qin Yuhai, the third son, Qin Yunhai, and the youngest daughter, Qin Jingshu, were all born to his concubine, Hua.

Fortunately, Old Lady Qin was ruthless and decisive, and Qin Shuhai was also very capable. Even though Hua had two sons and a daughter, she did not dare to act arrogantly in front of Old Lady Qin.

Later, when Old Master Qin passed away, Old Madam Qin divided the family property with a wave of her hands, and asked someone to build a wall between the west courtyard and the main house of the Qin Mansion, completely separating her from her two illegitimate sons.

Qin Song is the youngest son of the eldest wife. The eldest wife Qin Shuhai and his wife Qin Yang live in harmony and have no concubines. They have three sons, namely the eldest son Qin Ming, the second son Qin Zhao and the youngest son Qin Song.

Qingzhi tilted her head and looked at Lin Shuyue with some uncertainty: "Miss, since Lord Qin's house has been divided, the affairs of the second house should not affect Lord Qin's house, right?"

Lin Shuyue came back to her senses, patted her head, and said softly: "Although they have separated, in the eyes of outsiders, they are a family connected by bones and tendons, so it is inevitable that some people will gossip."

Unless the relationship is completely severed, just like what happened between the Lin family and the old house in Yunhua Village.

Just as Lin Shuyue said, the news that Su Jinxiao, the young master of Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion, angrily caused a scene at Xuanping Marquis's Mansion spread throughout the capital in less than an afternoon.

The secret meeting between Zhao Qirong, the eldest son of the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion, and the second daughter of the second branch of the Qin Mansion was also widely rumored.

"You bastard! Look at what you have done! Don't run away!"

In the Marquis Jingyuan's Mansion, the plump Su Zhao angrily chased Su Jinxiao with a long whip.

Su Jinxiao held onto his hair crown in a panic, dodging the whip while shouting unconvincedly: "I am not wrong! I am seeking justice for my sister!"
