How could Qin Yining not know that the Tang family's fate was pitiful?
But she was just a woman in her boudoir. Her biggest support was her father. She wanted to ask Qin Huaiyuan for help, but no matter how stupid she was, she knew that Qin Huaiyuan must have known about this matter a long time ago.
He already knew, but he didn't do anything. This already explained his position.
Zhao Yun Agency was originally Sun Yu's property. How could Sun Yu not know about this matter?
Sun Yu and Duchess Ding both decided to ignore this matter. How could she intervene?
Qin Yining thought quickly. If she didn't ask about this matter, what would it turn out to be …
Seeing Qin Yining's bad expression, Qiu Lu realized that she had said something wrong. She didn't dare to say anything more.
Seeing that Qin Yining had quieted down, Mama Zhan returned to her room.
Only Qin Yining, Ruilan, and Qiu Lu were left in the courtyard.
Qin Yining looked at the side rooms and the back seats. After confirming that there was no one else, she suppressed her anger and said in a low voice, "This matter needs to be discussed at length."
Ruilan could tell from Qin Yining's words that something was wrong. She said anxiously, "Miss, this matter involves Prince Ning. What can a woman in her boudoir like you do? You should just ignore it. "
Qiu Lu also bit her lip and knelt down, saying, "Miss, this servant spoke without thinking. It's not suitable for you to intervene in this matter. Please don't be affected by this servant."
Qin Yining shook her head and helped Qiu Lu stand up.
Her gaze was firm and bright as she said, "It's fine if I didn't know. But now that I know, I can't not try. I'm not sure I can save them. But if I don't even dare to try, I'm afraid I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life. "
"Miss, it's better to avoid trouble. You … …"
"Ruilan, I was picked up by my foster mother by a stream. If she had the mindset of 'the less trouble the better' and refused to adopt me because she was afraid of getting involved in trouble, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago. How would I be able to stand here and talk to you? "
Qin Yining's eyes were very bright, as if they were filled with stars. "Although I've been living a hard life all these years, I've never dared to forget what my foster mother taught me. As a human being, there are always some moral principles that cannot be abandoned. If this matter were to continue, Miss Tang's life would be ruined. Secondly, I'm afraid that Shopkeeper Zhong's family will suffer the crazy revenge of Qingliu's group. "
At this point, Qin Yining sneered, "Qingliu and those people didn't dare to look for Prince Ning or the boss of Zhaoyun Agency, so they could only vent their anger on the shopkeeper. Shopkeeper Zhong didn't do anything wrong, and his family is innocent. Tell me, this matter involves the rest of a young lady's life, and it also involves the lives of an innocent family. How can I pretend that I don't know? "
"But young lady, what can you do?" Ruilan was moved by Qin Yining's words, but at the same time, she was worried about her master.
Qin Yining shook her head, "I can't ask my father for help. I can only do my best and leave it to fate. Even if I can't save them, at least I've tried my best. "
Qiu Lu was inspired by Qin Yining's decision and her words. She nodded heavily, "Young lady, please tell me what you want me to do."
Qin Yining chuckled, and her white teeth looked as beautiful as white porcelain in the night, "Just do your job well. You can't do anything else. "
Ruilan was a little worried, "Young lady, no matter what you want to do, if the prime minister and old madam find out, they won't let it go. It will be very bad for you! It hasn't been easy for you to get to where you are now after coming back to the mansion. You should think twice before you act. "
Qin Yining knew that Ruilan was cautious and that she was worried about her, so she smiled gratefully.
"So what if it's the worst? Even if my bones are broken, I'm still my father's daughter. I've lived through the worst days. They won't beat me to death in front of me because they care about their reputation, right? If not, I'll just go back to chopping firewood and gathering herbs to be a savage. "
Her self-joking tone was very carefree, and the two maidservants were full of pride and enthusiasm.
But at this time, a deep male voice suddenly entered their ears.
"Well said."
Qin Yining was startled and quickly pulled the two maidservants back. But because of her reputation, she didn't dare to say anything before the situation was settled. She only lowered her voice and reprimanded, "Who is it!"
The dignified young man on the roof silently covered his face: Wang Ye, why couldn't you control yourself and make a sound!
The young man next to him was also stunned for a moment.
These two people were Little Wang Ye, Pang Xiao, and his bodyguard, Huzi, who were regarded as evil stars by Dayan's officials and common people, who were visiting the Prime Minister's mansion tonight.
Pang Xiao was only stunned for a moment before he jumped into the courtyard and stood in front of Qin Yining without any concealment.
Huzi was startled by his master's actions. Before he could react, Pang Xiao's hand shot out like lightning and grabbed Qin Yining's face.
The master and servants cried out in alarm.
Qin Yining was so scared that she closed her eyes.
She felt the weight on her head loosen, and a lock of her long hair suddenly fell down and draped over her shoulder. Then, her cheek was touched by a large, rough hand.
The hand was dry and warm, and there were rough calluses on the fingers and palm. It scraped her cheek until it hurt slightly.
Was she being molested?!
Qin Yining cried out in alarm and instinctively hit back. Who knew that she would hit empty air?
When she looked again, the man's figure was no longer in front of her. She could only see a tall figure flipping over the wall. She could even hear that person's deep and pleasant laughter.
The courtyard was still silent.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, the palace lanterns swayed, and the shadows of the bamboos danced. Everything just now seemed like an illusion.
"Miss, what's wrong?!" Nanny Zhan, Nanny Zhu, Liu Ya, and the rest heard the commotion and ran out with lanterns.
When they saw Qin Yining and the two servants standing in the courtyard in a daze, they couldn't help but worry and went forward, "Miss, what's wrong? Did you sprain your ankle? "
Qin Yining shook his head in shock, "No, no, it's just that I almost fell and got a fright."
Ruilan and Qiu Lu immediately realized the seriousness of the matter!
A perverted thief had barged into the residence and even touched the Miss. If news of this spread, how would the Miss be able to face others?
Both of them insisted that it was Qin Yining who almost fell.
Nanny Zhu heaved a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're fine. Miss, it's cold outside. You should go back into the house."
Nanny Zhan didn't suspect anything and also said, "Miss, if you want to get some fresh air, you should take a walk in the sun during the day. Don't catch a cold now."
A group of people clustered around Qin Yining and returned to the main house.
At this time, outside the courtyard, Huzi was looking at his Wang Ye with a shocked expression.
In his impression, his Wang Ye had always been strict and stern when dealing with people. His gaze was too sharp and he treated people very coldly. He was also very cautious and did things openly. When it was time to be unreasonable, he would be unreasonable, and when it was time to be cold, he would be cold. However, most of the time, he was very calm and self-controlled.
However, what happened tonight completely shattered Huzi's understanding of his master!
Wang Ye was holding a hairpin, right?
He also seemed to have seen Wang Ye touch the Miss's face …
His unruly, domineering, and murderous Wang Ye actually jumped into a Miss's courtyard in the middle of the night and snatched a hairpin. He even acted like a hooligan while he was at it!
If he wasn't blind, then the world must be hallucinating!
Pang Xiao looked at the hairpin in his hand with a wooden expression.
The hairpin was made of jasper, and three flower buds surrounded a blooming begonia flower. It was small and exquisite. The girl's hair was black and shiny, and the hairpin shone brightly in her hair. What was even brighter was her bright eyes and shining teeth when she smiled.
He didn't know what was wrong with him.
The hand that was holding the hairpin still seemed to be burning.
Her face was so smooth!
The way she closed her eyes when she was frightened was so cute!
And those small and moist lips …
What the hell!
Pang Xiao tucked the hairpin into his bosom and kept it close to his body. With a dark face, he strode forward as fast as the wind.
Huzi hurriedly chased after him. "Wang Ye, the horses are ready. When are we leaving?"
"Tonight."
"That's good too. Old Madam and Old Madam have been invited to the palace by the Emperor. To prevent any changes, we have to hurry back to Xi Hua."
"Yes."
"…"
"…"
"Wang Ye, you, you've taken a fancy to Miss Qin, haven't you?"
"…"
"Wang Ye …"
"Quiet, let's hurry."
"Yes."
**
At this moment, Qin Yining was staring blankly at the bean-sized light from the canopy.
Who was that person just now?
Her hairpin had been snatched away. If that person had bad intentions and used it to accuse her of having an affair with another man, her reputation would be completely ruined.
She had even been touched on the face.
Until now, she still felt her face burning. She could even feel the calluses on that person's palm rubbing against her face.
That person should be someone who did manual labor or held a weapon all year round, right?
Actually, she did not see the man's face clearly because the man's back was facing the light. She could only see his tall and thin figure clearly. She was only as tall as the man's shoulder. If the man wanted to kill her, he could have broken her neck with one hand.
However, she didn't feel any murderous intent or hostility.
She hunted all year round, so she was very sensitive to hostility and murderous intent. If that person had the slightest intention of harming her, she would have felt it as soon as he stared at her maliciously.
Then why did that person suddenly appear in her courtyard?
How much did that person hear of what she said?
Would things develop in a direction that she couldn't control?
Qin Yining felt her heart was in a mess. She turned over in annoyance.
Ruilan, who was on night duty outside the canopy, heard the noise and hurriedly put on her clothes. "Miss, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Qin Yining sighed and said, "Today's matter must not be spread."
"This servant understands. I definitely won't speak carelessly."
Qin Yining closed her eyes. "Sleep." No matter what, she still had to live her life.
The next morning, Qin Yining went to greet the Sun Clan and the old madam as usual. Then she returned to the old madam. "Today, I'm going to take a look at the shops under Zhao Yun Agency. I've agreed with Master Zhong that I'm going to check the accounts."
The old madam only told her to bring a few more people and agreed.
Qin Yining went back to the courtyard to dress up. Then she left with Qiu Lu and Ruilan in a carriage.
