Marrying into a poor family

When Sun Jifei listened to Qin Xiang's words, he raised his eyes slightly and looked into Qin Xiang's eyes, but his expression was very calm.

After Qin Xiang finished speaking, he thought for a moment before nodding. Seeing that Qin Xiang really had no other instructions, he clasped his fists and turned around to leave.

Qin Xiang looked at the back of Sun Jifei as he left, thoughtfully.

Just after noon, Qin Xiang got the news. Xiao Chenyu sent Xiao Lian back, saying that he had returned to the college.

"The second master just returned to the academy when he heard Mr. Yao say that he had come to the house to look for him. The second master was afraid that my wife would be anxious, so he sent me back to tell her to reassure her."

Qin Xi asked: "Where did you go yesterday? Who were there? What did you do?"

Xiao Lian didn't think there was anything to hide, so he said: "The second master washed his feet last night and was about to rest, but the second master of the Du family sent someone to invite him, saying he was going to meet a friend."

"We went to Qifeng Mountain Villa and stayed for one night. However, we servants stayed at the foot of the mountain and could not go inside. So, what did the second master do? Who did he meet? We don't know of."

Qin Xiang did not embarrass Xiao Lian because she understood the rules of Qifeng Villa. At first, Xiao Lian and Lu Jiu's servants were not allowed to go in. Only her two maids Qing Gu and Qing Can followed in. However, He was also arranged to wait in the courtyard where he lived, and could not always be with Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang had many questions in her mind, but she also understood that since Xiao Chenyu didn't come back, there must be nothing wrong. When he returned home after a few days off, it would not be too late for him to ask more questions.

"You go back later and ask Qinggu to pack some lighter clothes and bring them to the second master. If there is anything missing, tell Qinggu."

"Yes!" Xiao Lian rolled his eyes and went to find Qing Gu with a smile.

As soon as Li Siniang left, and Su's health was not good these days, Qin Xiang took over the task of housekeeper.

Only then did I realize that the housekeeper was really too trivial, and both Qin Xiang and Qing Gu were very busy.

When Qinggu sent Xiao Lian in, he said what he had given to the second master.

Qin Xiang sighed: "It's better to bring Si Niang back earlier!"

Qinggu is a servant who follows his master, and he doesn't like housekeepers. He comes to Qinggu to make decisions on everything, but this looks majestic, but in fact it is very tiring and annoying.

It was not until the next morning that Sun Jifei came back.

Qin Xiang saw a trace of tiredness on his face and asked him if he didn't sleep last night?

Sun Jifei nodded silently, and then said: "I went to the academy yesterday, and then I followed some clues and found Qifeng Villa."

After hearing this, Qin Xiang said that Xiao Chenyu had returned to the college at noon, and Sun Jifei just nodded to express that he understood.

Sun Jifei probably missed Xiao Chenyu on the way, so he didn't know that Xiao Chenyu had gone back.

Therefore, he kept lurking outside Qifeng Mountain Villa until late at night and did not see Xiao Chenyu coming out. So he used his good skills to sneak into Qifeng Mountain Villa and then headed towards the top of the mountain.

Qin Xiang was extremely surprised: "There are many guards in the villa, and the defense should be extremely strict, but you were not discovered?"

Sun Jifei was silent again in response to Qin Xiang's question, and then said: "There were some guests at Qifeng Mountain Villa yesterday, but they were not gathered in one place. They were scattered around to drink and play freely."

"So, I am not so easy to be discovered." For some reason, when he mentioned that the guests at Qifeng Villa were drinking and playing, he paused. Qin Xiang thought, maybe there was something he couldn't tell?

However, combined with the vague rumors about Princess Yaoxiang, it is not difficult for Qin Xiang to figure out what those people are doing.

It seems that Sun Jifei is quite attentive and not a man who doesn't understand worldly things. "I have never found the second master, but I saw something. I wonder if my wife is interested in knowing?"

Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows and said, "But it doesn't matter!"

Sun Jifei thought for a while and said: "I searched all the way, and then I saw someone guarding a courtyard on the top of the mountain. The place was heavily guarded and I couldn't get close. Later, two maids came out of it, and I followed them all the way."

The maidservant was very cold, and she was even more dissatisfied when she saw that she had to go to the yard halfway up the mountain to get something in the middle of the night. In addition, there was no one around in the middle of the night, so the two of them started talking without covering their mouths.

The tall and thin maid said rather bitterly: "Our princess is said to be noble and cold, but in fact, only we know how miserable her private life is."

The shorter maid was a little less courageous. She looked around and then started to complain confidently: "Moreover, our princess not only likes good-looking men when she sees them, but she is also very jealous."

She lowered her voice and said, "Earlier, our princess's face turned green just because Mr. Du rewarded the singing girl with two taels of silver in public."

The tall girl also sighed with pity: "This girl is still happy. She only thinks that she has received benefits and even won the favor of Mr. Du. I'm afraid she is still thinking about whether she can join the Du family and become an aunt or something?"

The life of an actor is even meaner than that of a maid. When the two maids talked about her, they not only felt pity for her, but also had the slightest hint of condescension.

"She, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to see the sun tomorrow morning." The short maid also sighed, but there was not much genuine concern in her words, but more of a common indifference to human life.

Sun Jifei, who was following behind him, felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet for no apparent reason.

In this world, people are divided into three, six or nine levels. Naturally, those who stand at high places have more power of life and death. Lowly people are nothing more than ants in their eyes.

The tall maid probably felt that this topic was a bit offensive, so she changed the topic: "Master Du was very flattering to Princess Yaoxiang before, but it's a pity that our princess ignored him, but why did he suddenly come into the palace?"

When he talked about breaking into a house, he covered his mouth and chuckled. In an instant, Sun Jifei understood that this so-called break-in was probably referring to something else.

"Well, our princess is also in trouble. She can't get married. The old prince doesn't know how many years he can protect her. She urgently needs a child now. Now, I'm afraid the two families have reached a consensus. Princess Yaoxiang's child If he is of the Du family's bloodline, then the Nine Princes' Palace will be blessed by the Du family and the Queen Mother in the future."

This is also a last resort. Even if you are a princess, you must learn to compromise, even if you let the man who is supposed to be your brother-in-law sleep in her bed and give birth to children of two blood lines.

"Then again, Mr. Du is really handsome. I just sent the clothes to the hot spring bath room, and I saw him and the princess..."

There is no need to tell Qin Xiang the rest of the words, but Qin Xiang already understands.

Du Ziren and Yao Xiang went to bed, perhaps for their own benefit, but Qin Xiang thought further.

Also, fortunately, Lu Jiu did not do anything inappropriate with Yao Xiang, otherwise, it would be difficult for Lu Jiu to leave the capital safely.

Even though she understood the viciousness of these people, Qin Xiang's knowledge was still being refreshed all the time, reminding her not to relax her vigilance too much, otherwise she would be doomed.

Sun Jifei was still waiting for Qin Xiang's instructions. Qin Xiang calmed down and smiled at Sun Jifei: "Go and wash up first, then eat something, and then have a good rest. You will have to trouble Uncle Sun a lot in the future!"

Sun Jifei is Uncle Qi's good friend, so she should just call him Uncle Sun. Besides, she thinks this person is very useful.

Sun Jifei immediately realized the change in Qin Xiang's attitude, still expressionlessly cupped his hands, and then left.
