Su Ye picked up an umbrella for Qin Tian, ​​and asked a little maid to carry a lamp to guide the way. The master and servant left Chaoyunxuan in the drizzle.

There was a different kind of silence in the entire Qin Mansion, and the three of them couldn't help but speed up their steps while walking in the rain.

The kitchen was not too far away, and the little maid said it would be closer if she took a small path, but Qin Tian thought about it and decided to take the main road.

They walked all the way to the kitchen. When they arrived at the vegetable garden in front of the kitchen, the skirts of the three of them were all wet with accumulated rain and mud.

But the kitchen, which should have been busy at this time, was surprisingly quiet at the moment.

Even the little maid in the Qin Mansion said "eh" strangely.

"Why does it seem like there is no one? Girl, sister Su Ye, let me go over and take a look first?"

Qin Tian nodded, and the little maid picked up the lamp and ran over quickly. She ran to the door and took a look inside, then ran back quickly.

"Girl, there is no one, no one."

There was no one.

Qin Tian and Su Ye looked at each other.

The vast silence in front of and behind the kitchen gave rise to an indescribable, strange and chilling feeling.

Just when they were confused, there was a noise from behind the bushes to the west of the kitchen.

The little maid gasped in shock, and Su Ye also tightened her grip on Qin Tian's arm. Qin Tian calmed down, and when he saw the figure behind the bushes, he led the two of them over.

As soon as they approached, the little maid saw the women on the stove, but she didn't see Tiandong yet.

Since the people on the stove were here, Qin Tian simply stepped forward.

When she passed by, a guard saw Qin Tian and came to salute.

Behind them, all the people working on the stove were gathered together and lined up in front of a firewood shed, as if they were taking turns entering the firewood shed to ask questions.

Qin Tian understood it at a glance.

They are investigating and investigating this sudden "coincidence".

His father, Qin Guanzhong, had not been in Qingzhou for the past two days, so it was undoubtedly Qin Shen who ordered the interrogation.

Qin Tian just wanted to keep her brother at arm's length, but Tiandong was her own man, and she couldn't just leave him alone.

And those who lined up in front did not see any sign of Tiandong in their hands.

Qin Tian could only ask the guards.

"I wonder if Chaoyunxuan's maid is here?"

When she asked like this, the guard had no choice but to look for someone. Qin Tian waited outside for a quarter of an hour before he saw the guard coming out with Tiandong and another little maid.

As soon as Tiandong saw Qin Tian, ​​he hurriedly ran forward.

"girl!"

Most of her clothes were wet, but they were still neat, but her mouth was dry, and her face looked a little frightened and uneasy, but it was hard to say anything in front of the guards of the Qin Mansion.

Qin Tian gathered her under his umbrella, and Tiandong quickly told Qin Tian the matter.

After delivering meals to Mrs. Qin's courtyard, work on the stove stopped, and as soon as Tiandong passed, she was detained for questioning.

".They called me for questioning, saying it was the eldest son's request. I saw that all the people on the stove were detained, and the Daohe government would conduct a strict investigation, so I had no choice but to go along with them. But they asked me

They started asking about many things almost as soon as they entered the house, what they did in the house, who they talked to, and," she glanced at Qin Tian, ​​"and what the girl ordered the slaves to do.

Tell them all one by one."

Tiandong said, "They asked very detailed questions, and even asked about some things about us in Zhucheng. I think the others didn't seem to ask such detailed questions, but only asked me, which is really confusing."

Su Ye was surprised when he heard this. Both of them looked at Qin Tian, ​​only to see that after hearing Tian Dong's words, the girl's face changed slightly and she pursed her lips in silence.

Before coming, Qin Tian had some premonitions, but after hearing what Tian Dong said, his heart still sank.

She was indeed suspected. Not only that, Tiandong was detained for interrogation. Although she was not tortured, she was beaten openly as a warning.

Qin Tian didn't need to think about what Qin Shen had in store. Such a gentle beating would already give her face. Otherwise, if he really wanted to attack her, she wouldn't be able to wait for her father to come home.

The air at dusk after the rain is filled with cold and damp moisture.

Qin Tian was silent for a while, then quickly returned to Chaoyunxuan with Tiandong Su Ye.

As soon as she returned to Chaoyunxuan, she had the door of Chaoyunxuan closed.

"That's it for today. Let's go to bed early."

Tiandong and Su Ye glanced at each other. The former was surprised but did not dare to speak, while the latter asked Qin Tian's lowered eyebrows.

"Just now we didn't prepare food for the girl on the stove. Why don't I ask someone to ask the stove if everything is okay and ask them to cook some more dishes for the girl."

As Qin Tian listened, she remembered that her stomach was still empty, but thinking about today's situation, she smiled bitterly.

"No, I don't mind. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Both maids went down, and Qin Tian was the only one left in the room. She sat quietly on the armchair, looking at the light in the window and the Qin Mansion behind the light.

From beginning to end, she was just an outsider who should not appear in this house.

Now that something has happened, he is the one who deserves the most suspicion.

Qin Tian was not surprised, but he felt an indescribable feeling of loneliness in his heart.

Unlike Miss Li Er and her brother, they have the same mother and they grew up together.

Qin Shen and her were not only strangers, but also had some natural antagonism because of their different identities.

In such a situation, if he didn't doubt her as an outsider, who would he doubt?

The deserted corridor light fell into the room, and Qin Tian pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly.

The more she tries to accept her new identity safely, the more the facts run counter to her thoughts.

But she had nothing in the Qin family, and she had no way to prove her innocence.

The only thing she can do in this deep house and compound is probably to be more honest.

*

In the next few days, Qin Tian became more and more disciplined, and even the whole Chaoyunxuan stopped walking around.

Fu Wen reported Chao Yunxuan's situation to Qin Shen, but Qin Shen just looked in the direction of Chao Yunxuan silently without saying a word.

Fu Wen understood what his father meant.

"My subordinates will continue to keep an eye on it and will continue to strictly investigate everything."

Until Mrs. Qin's health improves, people with ulterior motives may not take another opportunity to strike, and they must not relax at all times.

The mansion became silent invisibly, and it was already two or three days after Qin Guanzhong came back from other places.

As soon as he arrived at the outer courtyard, he called Qin Shen and asked him carefully. Qin Guanzhong frowned when he mentioned Liao Shun's matter.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence," he said, thinking of his wife. "Your mother or I need to talk to her."

The person hiding in the dark may make another move at any time, but if Mrs. Qin calms down, those moves may not be effective.

Everything actually lies with Mrs. Qin.

Qin Shen nodded, "Mother is feeling much better today. If father has anything to say, let's do it today."

After dinner, Qin Shen invited Qin Guanzhong to the main courtyard.

When Mrs. Qin saw her husband, her face became a little ugly.

Qin Guanzhong was helpless, "Jing Niang, no matter what, the matter is over, so don't think too much about it."

While talking, Qin Shen left quietly.

The estranged married couple were the only ones left in the room.

When they got married in their teens, Qin Guanzhong was just a small general, earning a living under hundreds of households.

Luo Jingniang's parents were still there at that time, and her family was wealthy. Even the local magistrate relied on her, so she did not consider Qin Guanzhong, the small general banner.

But Qin Guanzhong had secretly met Luo Jingniang a long time ago. At that time, the quiet and clean girl fell in his heart with just one glance.

Instead of shrinking back, he went to Luo's house to propose marriage.

Everyone laughed at him for not overestimating his abilities, but Lord Luo invited him into the Luo family.

Mr. Luo had long heard of this young commander who had fought hard for his own military success. At that time, he only asked him one sentence, "Husband and wife are a lifelong matter. Can you be sincere and sincere to my daughter for the rest of her life?"

Qin Guanzhong didn't want him to ask this question, but he didn't think more about it.

"Why not? As long as I live in this world, I will give everything I have to Jing Niang."

At that time, Mr. Luo looked at him for a long time and agreed to the marriage that day.

Qin Guanzhong did not expect it to go so smoothly, and even the wedding date was chosen very close. They got married three months later. However, less than ten days after the wedding, Mr. Luo suddenly died of illness.

Luo Chong was still young at that time, and there was no one else in the Luo family except his relatives who were eyeing him.

Before Mr. Luo died, he used all his family property as dowry for his daughter, and even left nothing to Luo Chong.

Mr. Luo was afraid that his relatives would take over the Luo family's property after his death, but he trusted Qin Guanzhong wholeheartedly and put everything he had into him with all his might.
