This is the first time Qin Tian has left Zhucheng and gone to other places.

Commander Qin's residence is in Qingzhou Fucheng.

When Qin Tian arrived, the scattered people on the street looked at her carriage. They talked in low voices, and the voices of the discussions reached Qin Tian's ears.

"I didn't expect that the daughter of the outer family is so old. Poor Mrs. Qin is in poor health and has been recuperating in the mansion, but she doesn't know anything!"

"Tsk, how come Mrs. Qin, a person who has done good deeds and accumulated good deeds, got into such a bad thing, saying that the outer room had died long ago?"

"The wife is dead, but my daughter is fine. She was raised outside. I don't know what kind of character she is! In the future, Mrs. Qin still has to worry about getting married. It won't bother me if I worry about it.

died!"

"."

Endless contempt.

Qin Tian was not so pressed that he couldn't lift his head, but he couldn't straighten his back either.

After all, she was indeed the daughter of an outside wife who ruined Mrs. Qin's marriage.

How can a daughter raised outside her family be so arrogant when she wants to come into the house to meet her legitimate mother?

Qin Tian was prepared to be embarrassed and scolded by Mrs. Qin. As soon as he entered the Qin Mansion, he was led all the way to the main courtyard.

In such a deep house, the walls are layered layer by layer, as if they were wrapped in thick cloth, making it airtight.

Qin Tian had no room to retreat, so he had no choice but to walk in. It was not until he reached the entrance of the main courtyard that his steps finally stopped temporarily.

After the accident, she met her father for the first time, or in other words, the famous Qingzhou Guard commander Qin Guanzhong.

We had just met him a few days ago, and his appearance had not changed much, but he was no longer wearing the gorgeous clothes of a wealthy businessman. He was wearing a copper-green dark-patterned brocade robe with sword sleeves cinching his wrists, which gave people a sense of authority that did not need to be announced like an official title.

Oppression is more of a stranger.

Qin Tian was unable to call him "Dad" for a moment. Instead, Qin Guanzhong was slightly startled when he saw his daughter, glanced at the main courtyard, frowned and said to the steward who brought her here.

"Let's forget about meeting today."

The grandma bowed.

"Replying to the master, the madam has ordered the girl to enter the house. Now that she is here, it is necessary to meet her to fulfill her status."

Qin Guanzhong frowned more and more, Qin Tian glanced at him silently, saw him sigh and said "It's okay", and then looked at Qin Tian.

"Tiantian, please pay your respects to Madam first before talking."

There was a bit of helplessness in his tone, but he didn't say much.

Qin Tian saluted and said "yes" and followed the steward into the main courtyard.

Who would have thought that as soon as he walked into the atrium, there was a panic sound coming from the main room.

Qin Tian saw Qin Guanzhong become nervous immediately and kept asking "What's wrong?", and then a maid lifted the curtain and walked out quickly, holding a white handkerchief in her hand.

The maid's hand trembled and she opened it a little. Qin Guanzhong's face suddenly darkened, and Qin Tian also saw a small blood clot on the white handkerchief.

Mrs. Qin’s mother-in-law beside her murmured in surprise, “Madam actually coughed up blood.”

Before he finished speaking, Qin Guanzhong strode towards the room, but as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by another maid.

"Master, don't come in at this time, otherwise my wife will see you again."

Qin Guanzhong's footsteps stopped at the door of the room. He didn't dare to enter or even make a sound. He could only suppress his voice and ask someone to call the doctor.

After the instructions were finished and the coughing and wheezing in the room subsided for a while, he looked at Qin Tian and the nanny who had brought Qin Tian to visit his wife, and spoke seriously.

"There's no need to go in. Just kowtow in the courtyard and your status will be rectified. We'll talk about it another day."

Grandma didn't refute anymore and immediately asked the little maid to bring the futon.

Qin Tian kowtowed towards the main room in the courtyard.

When she raised her head, she heard her father, the commander, sigh and say something to her.

"Go ahead."

Other than that, there's nothing else.

*

At noon that day, there was a faint feeling that a storm was coming in the house. In the evening, Qin Tian heard that his father had gone out in person, and hurriedly went to invite an old man who lived fifty miles outside the city to return to his hometown.

The imperial doctor passed by.

Qin Tian was placed in a spacious courtyard called Chaoyunxuan in the mansion. The maids and ladies in the courtyard were exactly the same as the girl's boudoir in the courtyard.

Even when Mrs. Qin fell ill, all the meals prepared for her were delivered to her.

None of the gossip outside could be heard in the courtyard, and Qin Tian seemed to think that everything had nothing to do with her.

Regardless of whether it was related or not, after Qin Tian arrived at this unfamiliar Chaoyunxuan, he stayed here honestly and never took another step.

The people who were in the small courtyard in Zhucheng were all gone, and the only ones who could enter the inner courtyard to take care of her were the two maids, Su Ye and Tiandong.

Apart from the two maids, only the stupid rabbit Hui Fei was left.

It's a pity that Hui Fei, who only knows how to eat and drink, is not in a good situation.

I don't know if the environment suddenly changed, but the stupid rabbit didn't eat or drink for two consecutive meals, and stayed in the cage and refused to come out.

Qin Tian reached into the cage and stroked it, but it shrank tighter and curled itself into a ball.

Qin Tian looked at the stupid rabbit huddled in the cage, then at himself trapped in the carved beams and painted mansions, and silently shook his head.

The whole day, the silly rabbit refused to eat.

Qin Tian frowned and looked at the rabbit for a long time, and then heard that the Qin family outside seemed to be much quieter, so she carried the gray and fat cage and stepped out of the room.

As soon as she came out, all the maids and wives of the Qin family who were working in the courtyard stopped what they were doing and looked over, their eyes showing some degree of vigilance.

Why couldn't Qin Tian see the expressions on everyone's faces? He could only lift up the cage in his hand and explain.

"I took the rabbit and took a few steps in the yard."

After she said this, the maids of the Qin family all withdrew their gazes. Upon hearing this, a lady in charge stepped forward hesitantly and responded.

"If the girl wants to go for a walk, of course she can. It's just a short distance from the back door of Chao Yunxuan. The slave can accompany the girl there."

Qin Tian had no intention of leaving the yard. She felt that it was better for her to stay in the yard at this time, so she waved her hand.

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

After she finished speaking, the lady in charge breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Tian was not ready to go out, but then a servant came to deliver a message.

"The master invites the girl to go to the study room in the outer courtyard to talk."

*

Study room in the outer courtyard.

The so-called study room is not just one room, but a spacious courtyard.

As soon as she arrived at the concierge, she saw a person dressed as a maid in a willow-yellow dress walking up to her.

"How are you, girl? My slave, Huang Ling, is the person that I am serving in the study in the outer courtyard. I am waiting for you in the study. Please come with me, girl."

Qin Tian thanked her and followed her into the study. Huang Ling introduced Qin Tian and asked the maid to serve tea before greeting everyone and retreating.

Only Qin Tian and Qin Guanzhong were left in the study.

Qin Tian saluted, and Qin Guanzhong pointed to the chair next to her and asked her to take a seat.

Qin Guanzhong took a look at Qin Tian. Over the past two or three days, her usual round cheeks had visibly diminished.

When I saw myself before, I would run up to him with brisk steps and call him "Daddy" in a sweet voice.

But today she just sat like this, her head half-bowed and didn't say a word.

With her appearance like this, Qin Guanzhong didn't know how to speak.

"Tiantian. Are you still used to living in Chaoyunxuan?"

“Get used to it.”

"Well, if there is any inconvenience, just let the lady in charge of your courtyard take care of it," Qin Guanzhong said. Seeing that Qin Tian was still bowing his head in silence, he added, "Or you can send a message to Qin Zhou and let him take care of it.

OK."

Qin Tian raised his head slightly when he heard Uncle Zhou's name.

"knew."

As soon as the words fell, the conversation ended here. It was no longer like before in the small courtyard of Zhucheng, where there was always one person between father and daughter who could continue the topic.

The study seemed to fall into endless silence.

Just at this time, a guard outside spoke.

"Sir, there is an urgent report from the guard."

Qin Guanzhong's guards at the mansion were all well-trained soldiers, and they were very light on their feet. At this moment, he suddenly spoke in front of the door, so shocked that Qin Tian almost stood up.
