Outside Yi Cui Pavilion, Qin Yining boarded the carriage and sat in the middle. Zhao Wanjin and Zhao Yinuo sat on either side of him.
Zhao Yinuo retracted his gaze from Yi Cui Pavilion's main entrance and sneered, "That Librarian Gao seems to be used to acting like a tyrant. I didn't expect him to personally bring people here so soon. From the looks of it, it doesn't seem like he's here to capture someone, but to kill someone. "
"He's the only heir in his family. With that kick of mine, I'm afraid that the Gao Clan will have no descendants. It'd be strange if that Gao guy didn't go crazy."
"Big Brother, you're really ruthless. The Alliance Head only said to hit him harder, but you actually crippled him."
"Just looking at that kind of bastard makes me angry. If I don't cripple him now, he'll definitely harm others in the future."
The two brothers looked at Qin Yining at the same time. In reality, they were also somewhat nervous.
Qin Yining had indeed ordered them to make a big fuss today and teach that hedonistic young master a lesson. However, he didn't say that they would end his family line. After all, this kind of result could be said to be a devastating blow to any man. It would directly cause Librarian Gao's hatred for them to skyrocket.
Seeing how nervous they were, Qin Yining laughed and said, "What's done is done. What's done is done. There's no point in thinking too much about it."
"Alliance Head, I'm really sorry." Zhao Wanjin scratched his head and smiled honestly, "If I hadn't been impulsive, things wouldn't have turned out this way."
"It's fine." Qin Yining said, "Young Master Gao deserved it. You didn't indiscriminately kill the innocent. Even if you beat him to death today, you'll only be enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens. There'll be one less scum in the world. Moreover, you only crippled him. Regardless of whether we crippled him or not, Librarian Gao's anger will be enough for him to step into our trap. "
Zhao Wanjin sighed in relief when he heard Qin Yining's analysis.
Qin Yining said, "I've already told you the details of the plan. Things should develop according to our plan. You just need to act according to plan. "
"Understood. Don't worry, Alliance Head. I'll definitely handle this matter well. I won't leave any loopholes. "
"That's good. From tomorrow onwards, the congee factory would prepare some mixed grains and dry rations. The congee would be cooked thicker, and some pickled vegetables would be prepared for distribution. If they can't eat salt for a long time, the people won't have any strength. "
"Yes." Zhao Wanjin and Zhao Yinuo replied in unison.
Zhao Wanjin smiled and said, "With Alliance Head's arrangement, won't everyone be overjoyed eating? In all my life, I've never seen anyone give porridge with dried food and pickled vegetables. "
"No matter what, it's a good thing." Qin Yining was actually very satisfied. Back when she was living in the mountains, she had hoped countless times that someone would come to Liang City to provide relief so that she wouldn't have to suffer so much. However, what he was looking forward to never happened.
Now that she had the ability, and the output of the farm was not insufficient. If she followed the plan, she would be able to save her grandmother. Why not?
Zhao Wanjin and Zhao Yinuo both laughed.
The carriage traveled to Qin Manor for a while before Zhao Wanjin asked, "Alliance Head, what do you plan to do with the two girls from the Yu Family?"
Qin Yining said, "Since we've already saved them, we'll help them to the end. They look like flowers. If we send them out, they might be abducted again. That's why I plan to keep them in Qin Manor as servant girls. I don't know if they're willing. "
"Alliance Head is very kind." Zhao Wanjin said, "They've lived in Yi Cui Pavilion before. Now that they can live openly, I'm sure they won't object to being servants."
"I hope so." Qin Yining also smiled. She no longer expected or asked others to do as she wished, so she didn't plan to force Yu Shifang. "If they're not willing to be servants, I can only let them go. If they leave my side, who knows what kind of danger they'll encounter. At least they'll be safer if they stay by my side. Of course, it's not good for us to persuade them too much, lest someone misunderstands and thinks I'm a human trafficker. Wouldn't I be wronged then? "
Zhao Wanjin and Zhao Yinuo both laughed.
By the time they returned to Qin Manor, it was already seven in the evening. The night wind blew down with snowflakes, landing on the heads and shoulders of the group of people. It was so cold that Qin Yining couldn't help but shiver.
She didn't go directly to see the two children, afraid that the coldness from her body would spread to them and cause them to fall ill. She simply asked the sisters, Yu Shifang and Yu Shirui, to come forward and talk.
Yu Sifang and Yu Sirui had already washed their faces and changed into green cotton short jackets and trousers of the same color prepared by the fu for the servants. They also wore light pink long sleeves on the outside. When they saw Qin Yining, they knelt down gratefully and bowed.
When Yu Shirui saw her elder sister like this, she also respectfully bowed.
Qin Yining smiled. Although she was still wearing men's clothing, her voice had already returned to its usual delicate and reserved tone. "Rise. Don't be so courteous. "
Yu Shifang saw Qin Yining was wearing men's clothing and lazily leaning against the armrest of the chair. She didn't have any pretentious air. With this kind of otherworldly aura and the manor they were in right now, if she couldn't guess who Qin Yining was, then she would have lived in vain.
"Many thanks to wang fei for saving our lives." Yu Shifang pulled Yu Shirui and bowed to Qin Yining again.
Yu Shirui didn't understand her elder sister's meaning. She paused for a moment before saying: "Many thanks to wang fei for saving our lives."
Qin Yining had Bing Tang and Ji Yun help the two up.
"Don't be so courteous. This was just something I did in passing. What plans do you have in the future?" Qin Yining asked gently.
Yu Shifang hadn't thought that Qin Yining wouldn't take credit for saving them. She felt even more emotional. She had already decided that Zhongshun qinwang fei was a kind person. She bit her lip and made up her mind to kneel down with a thump.
"Wang fei. Today's matter has been blown up. Historian Gao already knows that the cause of the matter was me. If I go out, I'm afraid I will be caught before I reach the city gates. Wang fei, you don't know, but eight out of ten people locked up in the prison of the old capital are innocent. Historian Gao will have people do bad things in secret. If I am caught, I'm afraid … … "
"I know that wang fei saved us sisters today and used so much money. You have already done your duty. But I still want to ask wang fei to protect us sisters."
Yu Shifang immediately kowtowed to Qin Yining.
Qin Yining waved his hand and indicated for Ji Yun to help the two up again. He said: "I have two ways. One is for you to stay in my fu. This large fu doesn't have many women like you. Also, if you want to leave the old capital, I can give you some traveling expenses and escort you out of the city gates.
"I didn't bring you here to make you slaves or servants. It's up to you to decide what you want to do. However, I still want to remind you that Young Master Gao is probably crippled this time. If you want to leave, you must go far away. You must not let Historian Gao's people find you. "
How could Yu Shifang not understand this logic? She originally wanted to seek refuge with Qin Yining. She was afraid that a noble family like him would look down on maidservants who came from an unorthodox background. Now that Qin Yining was willing to open his mouth, Yu Shifang couldn't be more happy.
"Many thanks, Wang fei! Many thanks, Wang fei! There is no one else in my family. It's just us sisters who depend on each other. Even if wang fei gives us traveling expenses and sends us away, if we meet a bad person outside, we won't be able to survive.
"We sisters will never forget wang fei's kindness in saving our lives. Even if we have to go through water and tread on fire, we will repay you. We are willing to be servants in wang fei's fu and obey your orders. We will never betray you!"
Yu Shifang pulled her younger sister and kowtowed three times to Qin Yining.
Qin Yining then said, "Alright, alright. You must not kowtow anymore. Since you've decided to stay, then stay. Today, follow Yuyun to settle down. Tomorrow, Yuyun will arrange a leisurely job for you in the residence. You can also learn the rules of the academy while you're at it. "
"Yes."
"Also, don't leave the fu if you can. Otherwise, you will be caught by Historian Gao. "
"Yes. This servant obeys. "
Qin Yining saw that the two sisters were a little tired, so he let Ji Yun take them away.
After Ji Yun and the two maidservants walked far away, Bing Tang helped Qin Yining put on a cloak while serving her to the bedroom. He smiled and joked, "Wang fei went to take a stroll.
Downstairs, he actually gained two beautiful maidservants. If Wang Ye knew, wouldn't he gasp in amazement? "
"Talkative."
Qin Yining pinched Bing Tang's cheeks. The two of them chatted and laughed as they first went to change clothes and wash up. Then, they went to accompany the two children.
Just as Qin Fu was at peace, the Gao family in the middle of the night was already in chaos.
Young Master Gao's family jewels were completely ruined this time. Librarian Gao even kidnapped an old imperial physician who lived in the old capital to treat Young Master Gao's illness. The old imperial physician had no idea what to do, and Young Master Gao had already fainted from a high fever.
Historian Gao was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched.
"Did you find out? That old procuress did not deceive us? "
"Replying to Master, the old procuress spoke the truth. The people who accompanied Young Master and the women who were serving in the brothel at the time have all been asked. The person who injured Young Master was indeed the one surnamed Qian who recently opened the congee factory to distribute congee. They said that it was because of a fight over a young lady named Lamei. That surnamed Qian drank too much and fought with Young Master. "
"What a surnamed Qian!" Historian Gao gritted his teeth. When he thought about how his son was a womanizer and was simply one of the best among the younger generation in the old capital, Historian Gao felt a wave of disappointment in his son's failure to live up to his expectations.
But no matter what, he still had to save his son and take revenge.
The next day, Zhao Wanjin and Qin Yining talked in low voices for a while. Qin Yining told Zhao Wanjin everything that needed to be told. Zhao Wanjin had a rough idea of what to do and ordered people to prepare the congee factory.
Today's congee was especially thick. Even a pair of chopsticks could be casually thrown in. Everyone was also given a piece of mixed grain flatbread and a strip of pickled vegetables.
The commoners had come early in the morning to line up. When they saw such good food, they all wolfed it down. They were so moved that their eyes brimmed with tears. They repeatedly said that "Philanthropist Qian" was the kindest person in the world.
