Qin Yining and Mu Jinghu looked at each other, and their gazes landed on the jade tablet in Qin Yining's hand at the same time.
"This thing must have lured them here, but we don't know the reason behind it." Qin Yining frowned worriedly.
Mu Jinghu said nonchalantly, "Since you think it's strange, then don't bother with it. Just push it away. I don't believe that the Qiu family will be able to barge in."
Qin Yining was amused by Mu Jinghu's carefree attitude.
"We came here to investigate. Now that we have a lead, how can we avoid it?"
She came here to investigate Si Tong. Si Tong was an old shop with a hundred years of history. They were very nostalgic and mysterious, and did not leave any clues in the pugilistic world. Even Pang Xiao's Spies were sent to Guinan, which had nothing to do with them.
Now that she was in Jianchuan City and had finally found some connections, she still wanted to know the background of the Qiu family. How could she give up so easily?
Thinking of this, Qin Yining stood up and called Jing Zhe in. "You guys split up and go to the city to investigate the Qiu family. I don't care if it's a big or small matter, I just want to know anything related to the Qiu family."
Jing Zhe nodded and said worriedly, "If we go out, what will happen to the Princess Consort's safety?"
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still have Young Master Mu by my side."
"Don't worry, I will follow and protect the Princess Consort." Mu Jinghu promised seriously.
Jing Zhe trusted Qin Yining's intelligence almost blindly. Now that Qin Yining said that Mu Jinghu could protect her, he naturally believed him. He immediately went out to make arrangements to gather information.
Qin Yining brought Bing Tang, Ji Yun, and Mu Jinghu to meet the "Old Master Qiu" from the Qiu family.
Because Qin Yining was already married and had traveled extensively with Pang Xiao, he had seen all kinds of situations. Naturally, he didn't wear a veil hat inside the room. This time, she hung the "Entering Chuan" card on her waist as if it were her skirt. Holding a round fan in her hand, she slowly walked into the central room of the courtyard.
In the central room, there were two well-dressed middle-aged men standing with their backs to the door as they spoke. Their attendants were standing beside them.
Qin Yining's group had just arrived at the corridor when they heard the footsteps. The leader of the group, a man with a medium build and a short beard, turned around.
There was a hint of arrogance in his eyes, but the moment he saw Qin Yining's face, he immediately froze on the spot. He swallowed the harsh words that were about to come out of his thin lips and opened his mouth wide. He looked like he had been shocked into a daze.
Qin Yining frowned slightly. He covered half of his face with his round fan and turned away unhappily.
Ji Yun and Bing Tang immediately stood in front of Qin Yining, covering that straightforward and lecherous gaze.
The other man was slightly better, but his eyes were still moving back and forth between Qin Yining, Ji Yun, and Bing Tang. He was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. His eyes were too lively, and he looked too slick.
Although the two of them had decent looks, they were the type that Qin Yining didn't like at first glance.
The short-bearded man came back to his senses and coughed. His face was red, and he forced himself to be gentlemanly as he cupped his hands. "This young lady, my surname is Qiu and my name is Feizhen. I am the eldest in the Qiu family's sixth branch. You can call me Old Master Qiu. This is my younger brother, Feiming. May I ask who this young lady is? "
When Qin Yining heard the names of these two people, she knew that these people were of the same generation as Qiu Feishan. She really didn't find the wrong place. She just didn't know why Qiu Feishan led her here.
Ignoring the eyes of these two people, Qin Yining walked to the head of the table and sat down. She lightly invited the two people to sit down and said, "My husband's surname is Feiming. You can call me Mrs. Feiming. I don't know what business you have with me? "
When Qiu Feizhen and Qiu Feiming heard this, they realized that Qin Yining's hair was tied up in a woman's bun. They could only blame her face for being too bright, attracting their attention. They didn't notice such an obvious thing.
Qiu Feizhen coughed and straightened her back. She elegantly said, "I presume that Mrs. Pang is a foreigner? What is your relationship with Feishan? "
Qin Yining lowered her eyes and said lightly, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you?"
Qiu Feizhen and Qiu Feiming were really surprised.
In Jianchuan City, they had never encountered such a scene. In the past, they would do whatever they wanted. Who didn't flatter them? As long as they were willing, many young ladies would be willing to follow them.
But this beauty, not only did she not give them a good face, she also acted like she was unattainable. Their Qiu Family had seen a lot of nobles, but they had never seen someone who could put on such an act.
Qiu Feizhen glanced at the maple leaf jade pendant hanging on Qin Yining's skirt. She said, "Since you are wearing Feishan's jade, you must be a good friend of Feishan. Are you a business partner? Ai, since you are a friend of Miss Feishan, how can we neglect you and let you stay in the inn? The mansion is big and there are many guest rooms. Mrs. Pang, please follow us to the mansion. "
She stood up and waved her sleeves, making an inviting gesture.
Qiu Feiming also stood up. Apparently, she was sure that Qin Yining would follow.
Qin Yining looked at the attitude of these two people and knew that the Qiu Family should be very powerful in this area. Otherwise, a mere branch family member wouldn't have such an attitude. Did they really think they were noble?
Qin Yining said, "Thank you for your kindness, but we won't trouble your mansion. We are living very well here. "
Qiu Feizhen and Qiu Feiming were treated coldly again. Their hearts immediately grew like grass. Qiu Feizhen was angry at Qin Yining for not knowing how to appreciate kindness, but she couldn't help but look at Qin Yining's appearance. She only felt that his every word, every frown, and every smile were very attractive.
He couldn't help but think in his heart: That surnamed Pang is too lucky. What kind of people does Qiu Feishan know outside?
Obviously, Qiu Feizhen didn't associate "Mrs. Pang" with "Mrs. Meng" at all.
"Mrs. Pang, it's better not to be stubborn. You don't know how to appreciate kindness. That won't work in this place. " Qiu Feizhen was patient and her attitude was gentle. She said earnestly, "Don't you see how many people dare to refuse our Qiu Family's invitation? Since you came to Jianchuan and are friends with Miss Qiu, you must be here to do business and seek money. If you offend people, how can you make money? "
Although his words sounded like he was thinking for Qin Yining, it was obvious how conceited he was at the moment.
Qin Yining was a little impatient, especially when the strange man she was talking to kept staring at her with wretched eyes.
Qin Yining said with a fake smile, "You don't have to worry about it. I have other things to do. Please go back. "
Qin Yining said and got up to leave.
