His eyes fell on her for a moment, and Qin Tian immediately understood what he meant.

He didn't want to have dinner with her.

If the alienation just now wasn't obvious yet, the hint in his eyes made Qin Tian fully understand.

She hopes that she can have her own brothers and sisters like Miss Li Er, but she also knows that this kind of kinship cannot be forced.

She and this brother-in-law really didn't have much of a brother-sister relationship.

Qin Tian was aware of emotions and did not want to disturb his brother-in-law anymore, so he simply called Qin Guanzhong.

"Father, my daughter is a little tired today and wants to take a rest early."

Qin Guanzhong was a little surprised, but since Qin Tian had said so, he couldn't force himself.

"Forget it, just ask the stove to cook whatever you want to eat in the evening, and then go to bed early after eating."

"yes."

After receiving the agreement, Qin Tian quickly glanced at the person beside her, and saw that the person silently withdrew his gaze from her.

The presence in the study was really uncomfortable. Qin Tian really didn't want to stay any longer and left quickly.

"My daughter is going back first."

Qin Guanzhong had no choice but to call his maid Huang Ling to send Qin Tian back to Chaoyunxuan.

*

The study room returned to its usual state.

Qin Guanzhong did not mention Qin Tian's matter again, but changed the subject and asked about what Qin Shen had been doing outside in the past few days.

In the past two years, the emperor in the Forbidden City did not care about political affairs, and even became lazy in running official errands for the imperial court in the capital. He relied on himself to support various places.

Qingzhou has a vast territory, with the sea to the north and east. That's all in the north. There are often pirate invasions in the east. Qin Guanzhong often cannot respond in time with his own strength, so Qin Shen takes on some of the burden for him.

Last year, he led only half a hundred troops to defeat hundreds of pirates who tried to come ashore to plunder. Although he did not have an official title, he gained authority among the military and civilians in Qingzhou.

Qin Guanzhong simply entrusted him with several important coastal defense tasks, which was regarded as an experience.

This time Qin Shen went out for several days and went to several cities on the east coast of Qingzhou to patrol the sea for Qin Guanzhong.

"You have worked hard these days, and you are familiar with the several defense posts along the coast. It is time for you to stay at home and rest for a while."

Qin Shen did not respond to this, he just thought of something and said something.

"My son is cooking for one person during this trip."

"Who?" Qin Guanzhong raised his eyebrows slightly.

Qin Shen didn't hide it and said directly.

"This man has been my mother's roommate for many years. Unfortunately, this man cheated, accepted bribes from outsiders, betrayed information about the government, and even made some deals with pirates. I found out about him, and he ran away after hearing the news, but I captured him near Zhucheng.

, has been dealt with."

In two simple sentences, the matter was explained.

One final addition.

"My son is not going to mention this to his mother."

Qin Guanzhong understood his wife's temperament and could not stand such a thing, so he nodded.

But I asked, "Bribery? Who bribed this person?"

As he spoke, he thought of something and lowered his voice a bit.

"Are you from Xing Landong?"

Xing Landong, the fourth-rank deputy prosecutor of the Shandong Tixing Bureau Division, is in charge of Xing Prison in Shandong Province, including Qingzhou Prefecture where the Qin family is located.

Although the rank of fourth-grade deputy prosecutor is not high, his authority over Xing Prison is quite large.

The most unfortunate thing is that this person had a feud with Qin Guanzhong for a long time.

After Luo Chong exposed the "outer room" incident, Qin Guanzhong conducted a thorough investigation around Luo Chong and came up with some guesses.

When he asked this question, he heard Qin Shen say something.

"It seems that the bribery and snooping matter is indeed related to the Xing family."

When Qin Guanzhong heard this, he snorted.

"As expected, that guy named Xing has really worked hard on me. The imperial envoys dispatched from various places in the past two years are really good people."

He muttered something to himself, but did not notice that Qin Shen raised his head at this moment and glanced at him intently.

The deputy inspector sent by the imperial court worked hard on the Qin family, just to find out an inconspicuous daughter of the Qin family?

And after this incident, there seemed to be no other options.

Qin Shen's dark eyes reflected his father's figure, and doubts appeared in his eyes. He silently glanced at his father for a few times.

But when Qin Guanzhong looked over, he covered them up.
