Qin Xin couldn’t wait to hold Zhao Aman’s hand and coaxed, “The county governor of our county hasn’t been promoted for almost ten years, right?”
“Mother, if you tell him that Qin Jiu is the empress’ niece, see if the magistrate is not tempted and if he is, then the Xu family will naturally come to the capital with you.”
Although their daughter said this confidently, both Zhao Aman and Li Jinzhu felt fearful about going back.
If they get arrested by the officers as soon as they returned, they would be imprisoned and beheaded ah!
Qin Xin could see Zhao Aman’s hesitation so she continued to persuade.
“Mom, if you’re afraid, don’t show up on your own. Spend some money, hire someone, and hand the letter to the Xu family and the county magistrate, they will naturally know what to do.”
“Mother, Qin Jiu has caused our family so much misery, are you willing to watch her enjoy glory and prosperity from on high?”
“Besides, if Qin Jiu stays in the capital, if she does become the county princess, she will step on me when she sees me, also, will she let you and I have a good life?”
Qin Xin’s last sentence spoke to Zhao Aman’s heart, as her daughter said, that stupid and heartless girl hated their family now and as long as she gained power their family would never have a good life!
Only by stepping that stupid girl into the mud could their eldest daughter succeed, and the couple could clear the murder. They don’t have to hide just like mice in the sewer!
Just thinking about it, made Zhao Aman’s heart sullen. Her daughter could have been an imperial princess!
Zhao Aman and Li Jinzhu exchanged a look, and both husband and wife saw the same determination in each other’s eyes.
Finally, Zhao Aman gritted her teeth and said, “Okay, we’ll go back to Jiangyu County!”
Qin Xin’s eyes brightened, and the corners of her mouth also curled up as she took out from her sleeve pocket a banknote and a purse stuffing them into Zhao Aman, “Father, mother, here are five hundred taels of silver notes, and some coins, you take it.”
“This journey, you guys be careful. I will send someone to send you back to Jiangyu County.”
“It’s getting late, so I’ll go back first.”
Qin Xin looked out the sky from the window and hurriedly left.
Although Zhao Aman and Ji Linzhu were reluctant to part with their daughter, the couple knew that they mustn’t be seen together, so they could only watch from the second floor through the window as Qin Xin get into the carriage.
When Qin Xin returned to the marquis again, it was already half past five o’clock, the setting sun had almost completely set, and the sky was gray and cloudy.
As soon as she returned to her courtyard, she saw Zhao momo waiting in the hall.
“Young Miss,” Zhao momo came over greeted Qin Xin, and said coldly. “This slave servant is here to deliver a message from the Madam. Madam said that since the young miss came back too late, you should copy the “Women’s Commandments” one hundred times, and is not allowed to go out until you have finished copying it.”
Qin Xin slowly caresses her dress, and a cold smile spread out at the corner of her mouth. She was in a good mood today and was too lazy to bother with such unruly slaves as Zhao momo, she was not annoyed at all.
She knows that Madam Su has been temperamental recently because of Qin Zening and Su Xiyang’s matter. She was not able to pleased both sides, the Su family resents her, and now the marquis was treating her coldly, in addition, they lost a lot of money. To put it bluntly, she was just a frustrated woman who could only lose her temper.
If Madam Su goes too far, she would just go and find the marquis, anyway, all she needs now was to win over the marquis and the old madam.
Qin Xin disdained her but, on the surface, she was very polite to Zhao momo, pretending to be a good girl, and agreed. “Please, trouble momo to go back and tell mother that I will reflect on myself in my courtyard.”
Zhao momo shook the handkerchief in her hand and walked away proudly.
After Zhao momo left, her other maidservant, Baoqin, came over, holding a zither, and said in a lowered voice, “Young Miss, just now His Highness the Second Prince had someone deliver a letter.”
The maidservant took out an envelope from her sleeve pocket and presented it to Qin Xin.
Qin Xin couldn’t wait to receive the letter and was overjoyed, she said to herself: Gu Jing still has her in his heart, no matter who his main consort would be in the future, she would certainly firmly occupy that unique position in his heart.
As long as she could give birth to the eldest royal grandson, she could definitely reverse the situation…
After Qin Xin entered the inner room, only did she open the letter. Inside, there were already two octagonal lanterns lighting up the room, illuminating it as bright as daylight.
Qin Xin eagerly looked at the letter, and the first thing that caught her eye was the four words at the beginning of the letter. ‘Qing Qing, my love’.
Qin Xin’s felt sweet and continued to read eagerly.
In this letter, Gu Jing described his deep affection for her, saying that the time he didn’t see her felt like three autumns, he also said he wanted to marry her sooner so that they could be together forever and not live in two different places…
Qin Xin sweetly read this letter twice, and the corners of her mouth remained raised. Fortunately, she went to the Second Prince’s Mansion today and supported him in face of adversity.
Seeing Qin Xin’s reaction, Shuxiang knew she was in a good mood, and wanted to please her more, she said. “Young Miss, His Highness the Second Prince really has a deep love for you, you just came back from the Second Prince’s residence, and His Highness is already sending you a letter.”
Baoqin came over with a cup of hot tea and said with a smile plaster on her face. “The young miss and his highness the second prince have a very special relationship.”
A faint blush appeared on Qin Xin’s cheeks like a charming spring in April.
