Forced to become the uncle's apex

Chapter 24

Qin Zhen's face changed slightly, Concubine Zhang?

It seems that the secrets of the royal family have already been involved at this time. Could it be that the identity of the person in front of him is also the royal family?

This is difficult...

After Cheng Qi withdrew his sword, his baby face was full of indignation: "My lord has no grievances with Concubine Zhang Gui, yet she has done such a cruel thing!"

The guards had already started to clean up the corpses, Si Wuji sneered, "Do you really think it's just Concubine Zhang?"

Cheng Qi was stunned, a little puzzled, "Who else could it be?"

Si Wuji didn't speak, and went straight to Qin Zhen, who looked at him innocently, "What do you want to do!"

Damn it, maybe it's because she knows this secret and wants to kill people to silence her, and she has to use some posture to escape in a while.

Thinking like this, the look in his eyes became more innocent, but Si Wuji suffered a lot because of this look, so how could he be fooled again.

"Heh," Si Wuji sneered, "I really don't know whether to say you are courageous or cowardly."

After finishing speaking, he took out three bank notes from his cuff and handed them over.

When Qin Zhen saw it, his eyes were worth it, 3000 taels!It's really 3000 taels, this kid is pretty good.

Feeling the brilliance of her eyes, the man sneered, "Is it just so promising?"

Qin Zhenxiu frowned, and soon became expressionless. Whatever you say, just get the money anyway.

"Okay, it's getting late, I should go back, and continue to prepare according to the prescription tomorrow." Qin Zhen said, turned and walked towards the road in memory.

Cheng Qi was glanced at and hurriedly followed, "Miss Zeng, I'll see you off."

Qin Zhen turned her head with a smile, "It's best not to inquire about where I live, as I said, here is what I want, and I won't break my promise!"

Cheng Qi hurriedly went to see his master, this time, he didn't say anything, just said: "Let her go."

Hearing this sentence, Qin Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, although I don't know what this guy thinks, he can go home anyway.

And not long after she left, Si Wuji watched the night fall, and said calmly: "Go and prepare a generous gift, and go to the Qin Mansion tomorrow."

……

The door to the backyard had been closed long ago, so Qin Zhen had no choice but to jump onto the wall, dodge the servants who were watching the night, and return to the room with twists and turns.

"Who!" Hongxiu turned her head first, but she quickly covered her mouth.

"it's me!"

"Miss!" Hongxiu burst into joy, "You are finally back!"

Qin Zhen saw that the girl's eyes were red and she had cried countless times, so she tried to comfort her. At this moment, Luzhu walked in with water, and she was shocked when she saw her.

After a few words between the master and the servant, Qin Zhen asked about today's affairs.

Luzhu hurriedly said: "After Madam was called away by the old lady, she established the rules and punished copying Buddhist scriptures. Master Hou stayed with Mrs. Liu all afternoon. Mrs. Zhao, who wanted to come in several times, was stopped by me. .”

Her expression alternated between indignation and complacency. Qin Zhen nodded, praised her, and said, "I'll go and see my mother first."

Under the dim light, Jiang Suxi was copying Buddhist scriptures, looking out of the window from time to time with a sad expression on her face.

But at this moment, Qin Zhen knocked on the door, "Mother, I'm back."

Hearing this voice, Jiang Suxi was shocked, got up and opened the door, and hugged Qin Zhen in her arms. "You child, you scared my mother to death!"

A warm look flashed in the latter's eyes, and he smiled slightly, "Mother, I made you worry, I'm fine."

Jiang Suxi wiped away her tears, turned around, still with a sad face.

"This afternoon, I went to inquire. The reason why I let you back is because of your marriage to the Third Prince..."

Hearing this, Qin Zhen's face froze, thinking of what Xiao Er said, his expression was not too good.

What the two of them knew was basically the same. When she thought of her daughter marrying a seriously ill person, Jiang Suxi began to blame herself: "If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have brought you back."

"It's okay." Qin Zhen comforted her by patting her back lightly, "As long as I don't want to marry, no one can force me to marry!"

Jiang Suxi was still blaming herself. After all, the third prince she knew was domineering and a thorn in the side of many ministers. If she married such a person, she would still be seriously ill, and it would be hard to avoid.

Qin Zhen had no choice but to coax her like a child, "Mom, it's one thing whether this marriage can be completed or not. It won't look good to cry any more."

"What time is it, and you're still joking." Jiang Suxi scolded, but wiped away her tears anyway, "Are you hungry, mother will make you something to eat?"

"No, mother, I want to sleep with you tonight, just like when I was a child." Qin Zhen acted coquettishly, and went straight into her arms.

Too many things happened today, she needs time to sort it out.

After thinking about it, he just fell asleep in a daze.

Suddenly, in the darkness, a cluster of flames ignited, surrounded by old people, children, women's cries and cries for help, like a purgatory on earth.

At this time, a vague face appeared, pinching her neck to let her watch all this happen, laughing wildly in her ear.

She was sad, she was sad, and she wanted to go to rescue her, but her limbs were bound and she couldn't move.

In the end, the woman dragged her to a dim place step by step, and stabbed her with a knife.

She wanted to struggle, but she was so weak that she couldn't move a bit, and could only watch the knife go in and out of her body.

"do not want!"

She sat up suddenly from the bed, but found that there was no battlefield, and she was clearly sleeping on her mother's bed.

This movement also alarmed Jiang Suxi, she hurriedly got up to check, but saw her eyes were straightened, and quickly hugged her in her arms, "Is it a nightmare again? Mother is here, don't be afraid."

Looking at the slightly bright sky, Qin Zhen smiled comfortingly, "I'm fine."

Thinking back to that girl's face, she was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and she had never seen it before, but she felt an unprecedented sense of familiarity.

The dream was very real, she could even feel the girl's joy, what on earth...what's going on?

He put on some clothes and sat there until dawn, when the red-sleeved and green beads had already knocked on the door to serve him.

Just after finishing dressing, a servant girl's voice came from the door, "Madam, miss, it's not good, the third prince has come to divorce the engagement with a heavy gift."

"What? Retire?" Qin Zhen had a weird expression, and he didn't know whether it was joy or anger.

Jiang Suxi's face was pale, and she hurriedly opened the door, her usual gentle voice was raised a few degrees, "Did you hear me right? Is it really a divorce? What's the reason?"

"The servant girl heard it clearly, saying that she cares about the world and has no intention of getting married." After the maid finished speaking, she glanced at Qin Zhen quietly.

The latter did not respond obviously, but lowered his head not knowing what he was thinking.

"It's too much. You came to annul the engagement without even seeing the young lady. You really don't take our Marquis Mansion seriously. If it spreads out, it won't be ridiculed!" Luzhu stomped her feet first, and was about to rush out as she spoke.

The maid stretched out her hand to stop her, "Sister Luzhu, don't worry, Master Hou is dealing with this matter, Mrs. Liu told us not to go over and cause trouble."
