Chapter 7(1/2)
Accompanying the room
Qin Shen did not stay too long in Qin Guanzhong's study.
As soon as he went out, he summoned his personal guard Fu Wen to come forward.
"Let someone investigate Chao Yunxuan's affairs."
Suddenly, there was a teenage concubine in the foreign house. Qin Shen's hands behind his back were crossed and he lightly rubbed her.
"Yes." Guard Fu Wen responded immediately.
He recognized Qin Tian from the moment he saw her. On the day when my master was disposing of his companion Liao Shun, the person who was hiding behind the boulder and eavesdropping turned out to be my daughter who was raised in the outer room.
Thinking of this, Fu Wen said softly again.
"Master, do you want others to stare at Chaoyunxuan some more?"
The appearance of the girl in Chaoyunxuan and her change of identity were too much of a coincidence.
Madam is seriously ill and bedridden right now. Who knows if this daughter of an outsider will do anything detrimental to Madam?
As Qin Shen said these words, the concubine's panicked look appeared in front of his eyes when she saw him.
"She shouldn't have the courage."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Shen thought of something and paused.
"But just stare."
"Yes." Fu Wen responded immediately.

Although the Qin Mansion is large, Qin Tian walked back and forth twice to the study in the outer courtyard. There was no problem in returning to Chaoyunxuan. Huang Ling did not need to take her all the way back.
"Sister Huang Ling is waiting in the study in the outer courtyard. She must be very busy, right? I can just go back by myself. There is no need to send my sister off."
Huang Ling turned to look at her and smiled.
"Miss, you are so polite. I am not busy right now. I am busy waiting for the master to wash and eat in the morning and evening. Sometimes the master has not finished the things at hand, and the slave has to wait for a while. I have to finish serving the master."
Take a rest. As for the rest of the time, I'm mostly free."
In the Qin Mansion these days, Qin Tian also saw that his father Qin Guanzhong, as the commander of the Qingzhou Guard, was constantly involved in military affairs. Because the imperial court had a laissez-faire attitude towards various places, the Guard also had to help the local yamen manage states and counties, and attack
Xiaoxiao, guarding the peace inside and outside the city.
Coupled with Mrs. Qin's recurring illness, Qin Guanzhong became even busier.
Qin Tian nodded, and just as he was about to enter the Chuihua Gate with Huang Ling, he heard someone walking out from the Chuihua Gate, talking as they walked.
The voice that spoke was quite familiar to Qin Tian. It was Mrs. Qin's side, Grandma Sun, who brought her to the house.
Grandma Sun didn't know who she was talking to and said impatiently.
"Madam is so ill. You don't want to pray for her and serve her filially. Instead, you only think about your brother. Can't be contacted? What could happen to a grown man like him? He might have gone somewhere to live a life of debauchery."
The people on the side seemed to want to say something, but as soon as they opened their mouths, they were interrupted by Grandma Sun.
"It won't work today. Madam took medicine and fell asleep. If Madam is better tomorrow, you can ask again."
As soon as he finished speaking, he met Qin Tian and Huang Ling who were about to enter the Chuihua Gate.
When Grandma Sun saw Qin Tian, although she was not very happy, she still bowed according to the rules.
Only then did Qin Tian see the thirty-year-old servant girl behind her, with a worried look on her face.
Qin Tian didn't know her, but for some reason he felt like he had seen her before somewhere.
Grandma Sun and the servant girl bowed and quickly walked away.
But Qin Tian couldn't recall the inexplicably familiar feeling on the servant woman's face, so she couldn't help but ask Huang Ling.
"Sister Huang Ling, who was following Grandma Sun just now?"
Not sure if the question was too abrupt, Huang Ling was startled for a moment before coming back to her senses.
"Are you asking Madam Liao? She is taking care of Madam's farm, and all of them are Madam's companions."
Madam’s companion room?!
Qin Tian suddenly understood the source of the inexplicable feeling of familiarity.
She was shocked and confused, but Grandma Sun's words just now rang in her ears.
Madam Liao couldn't contact her brother, so she came to the house to ask Mrs. Qin where her brother was now.
The weather is warm, and a bunch of yellow forsythia flowers are blooming in the corner.
But Qin Tian suddenly felt a little cold.
Mrs. Qin probably didn't know, but Qin Tian knew that her brother had already lost his life and was buried on a hill outside Zhucheng!
The situation at that time suddenly reappeared in front of Qin Tian——
"Young Master, I was just passing by. I didn't hear or see anything!"
As soon as the words fell to the ground, the mountainside was silent as if it had been an eternity of darkness.
The wind blew the forest leaves and made a rustling sound. The man standing in front of the vigorous ancient cypress with his hands behind his hands looked at her coldly and spoke after a while.
"Remember your words."
At that time, before his identity was revealed, Qin Shen had already ordered his subordinates not to reveal the matter to Mrs. Qin. Now that Mrs. Qin was ill in bed, Qin Shen was destined not to let his mother know.
If this matter reaches Mrs. Qin's ears again, then the only possibility is that the news was leaked from Qin Tian.
Qin Tian was inexplicably nervous and didn't want to talk after entering the second door.
It happened that Huang Ling was not a talkative person, so she didn't say anything anymore and quickly sent Qin Tian back to Chaoyunxuan and left.
As soon as Huang Ling left, Qin Tian sent a message to Uncle Zhou and found the boy who had gone with him to the mountains to pick shepherd's purse that day.
The boy's name was Chang Zi. Because he was quick and efficient in doing things, Uncle Zhou took him with him. When he arrived at the Qin Mansion, he was not sent to the farm to work like other servants. Instead, he was arranged by Uncle Zhou in the outer courtyard.
Qin Tian suddenly asked for Chang Zi. Uncle Zhou was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions and sent Chang Zi to Chaoyunxuan.
Qin Tian had already sent the others away and left the side room free to talk to him alone.
When Chang Zi saw Qin Tian, he knelt down with a plop.
"Girl, you are here to see this slave. Your slave is almost scared out of his wits."
Changzi saw Qin Shen from a distance in the outer courtyard today and recognized him immediately.
If what Qin Shen dealt with that day was a servant of the Qin family, then now, Chang Zi has become a slave of the Qin family.
When he recognized this man, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.
"Girl, please save this slave, he doesn't want to die yet!"
Qin Tian rubbed his forehead.
"No, that's not the case. Don't have such a big reaction. Just act normally."
With her words, Chang Zi regained his fear a little.
"Whatever the girl says, I will do whatever I want. I will listen to the girl!"
Now that he has come to find him, Qin Tian has already thought about what to do.
Now every move she makes is under Qin Shen's nose, and she can't hide anything she does.
In this case, it is better to take the initiative to release some attitudes.
Qin Tian would definitely not tell anyone, and would let Chang Zi keep this matter in his stomach. Her attitude was very clear, and she had no intention of confronting her brother-in-law, so she said directly.
"I'm going to tell Uncle Zhou to ask you to go to the Zhuangzi to help me pick some herbs and plant them in the yard. You will go to the Zhuangzi outside to work these days and don't come back for a while, lest you accidentally say something wrong in the outer courtyard.
Let’s talk.”
Changzi felt as if he was listening to the sounds of nature. He knelt down and kowtowed again.
"Thank you very much, girl, for thinking about this slave. I will collect herbs for you carefully outside and never talk nonsense."
Qin Tian nodded and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as this period of time has passed, whether Mrs. Qin asks about it or his brother-in-law mentions it, he can settle the matter according to his own wishes and will not upset Mrs. Qin at this time, so he will agree with Qin Tian and Chang Zi
It doesn't matter anymore.
She made up her mind, gave Chang Zi a few words, and asked Chang Zi to mention the matter to Uncle Zhou.
Uncle Zhou had always known that Qin Tian liked to study medicinal foods, so he was not too suspicious and sent Chang Zi to the Qin family's farm early the next morning.
*
At noon the next day, Fu Wen told Qin Shen about Qin Tian sending Chang Zi to the farm.
"The young man was very timid, so he packed up his things and went to the farm in a hurry. Looking at the meaning of the girl Chao Yunxuan, I should know that every move is under my eyes. It is smart to avoid suspicion.
."
Under the window, a person holding a book with one hand slowly opened the pages with his thumb, and the pages were turned aside meekly without any struggle.
