The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Zhao Xi was very worried about this aunt. She said that this aunt was the only relative her brother-in-law cared about most when he was alive.

It is said that this aunt has not given up looking for Qin Feiyun until now. When Qin Feiyun was dying, he was still hoping to see this aunt again.

Zhao Xi spoke in a pitiful tone, and Xu Yao's mood was also affected. He couldn't help but care about who Qin had offended and why they were assassinated one after another.

According to Xu Yao's personality, he is unwilling to meddle in other people's affairs.

It is said that one should help in emergencies rather than in poverty. Saving a life that day was already considered to be a righteous act.

But based on previous experience, if she couldn't help Zhao Xi take care of Qin, who knows what kind of trouble Zhao Xi would cause again.

The bad thing about resurrection is that once you occupy someone else's body, you have to meddle in their affairs and inherit their fate.

After the master and the disciple had dinner, they went to sleep and rest. Early the next morning, Xu Yao went out to look for someone.

Pei Shuo practiced martial arts in the yard while chatting with Yang Ping, trying to find out about Qin's affairs in a roundabout way.

Xu Yao followed the address given by Zhuang Mu and found the Zhuang's silk shop on Mudan Street.

The shop was still open, but Zhuang Mu didn't come.

Xu Yao looked at the shopkeeper suspiciously: "Is Mr. Zhuang really not back yet? He came here by boat half a month ago, so he should have arrived earlier than me."

If Xu Yao hadn't come with Zhuang Mu's token, the shopkeeper would never have told her the truth.

"You know my master, how dare I lie to you. Although my master hasn't come back yet, he has sent a letter. He will probably arrive in Panjing in three to five days. If you have something to do, why not come and look for him then?"

Xu Yao thought about it for a while, bought a few sets of ready-made clothes, and left the shop.

There were still people patrolling the streets, and it seemed that there were more people than yesterday. Xu Yao was buying a pancake on the roadside and heard people gossiping on the street.

The imperial court seemed to have caught a suspect and had uncovered some clues during the interrogation, so they were rushing to arrest the person.

There are also rumors that Grand Tutor Wang was assassinated, perhaps by the emperor himself. The emperor had long disliked the Wang family and wanted to cut off the empress dowager's arm.

Someone quickly covered his mouth and said that he didn't want to live anymore and how could he say such things here.

The man smiled awkwardly and left with the pancake.

When Xu Yao returns to Danyang Marquis Mansion, Pei Shuo will find out everything he can.

Xu Yao brought him a lot of delicious food, and Yang Ping even got a roast chicken.

Pei Shuo sometimes really couldn't understand why his master seemed to be a money-loving person who would not even let go of the money from the dead.

But sometimes he is very generous and not stingy with others. He is really a contradictory person.

Pei Shuo told Xu Yao what he had found out: "This Madam Qin's family is also a frontier official. Her grandfather was once the governor of Langzhou. Later, he retired due to old age, but her father is now the governor of Pingxi. This century-old family should not be underestimated. Qin herself has a good reputation. From what I have seen along the way, she doesn't seem like a hypocrite."

According to Yang Ping, Qin was a thoughtful and meticulous person, and the servants and clan members in the mansion praised her highly.

The Marquis of Danyang respected his wife's character even more and would ask for her opinion on many matters.

The Marquis of Danyang had two concubines, and the children born to them all grew up safely and healthily.

Now the two illegitimate daughters are married, and the illegitimate son has also been sent to study in the academy.

The eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion and the second son born out of wedlock had a harmonious brotherly relationship. Qin treated them equally without favoring one over the other.

It is said that the exam will be held this year. Since everyone is well-educated, the chances of passing are very high.

As for the two concubines' daughters who got married, they both married into good families. When they got married, the dowry given by Qin was considered generous in Panjingdu.

The two concubines also respected Qin very much. After his two daughters got married, Marquis Danyang no longer had any interest in pursuing other women and his mind was entirely on the court.

The Qin family's inner house was relatively harmonious. It was said that this was mainly because the old lady of the Marquis of Danyang was very clear-headed and never interfered with their bedroom affairs at will, leaving it entirely to her daughter-in-law to handle. She would never force her daughter-in-law to be unhappy or force a concubine into her.

Even if there were some troublemakers, the old lady would deal with them personally.

Therefore, everyone in the Danyang Marquis's Mansion, inside and out, even if there are occasional minor conflicts, is united, with brothers living in harmony and sisters uniting.

In this situation, Pei Shuo really couldn't think of anyone who would want to kill Qin.

Xu Yao couldn't help but ask Zhao Xi in his heart, "Could it be that the relationship between Qin Feiyun and his aunt was exposed, so those people wanted to take action against the Qin family?"

Zhao Xi thought about it and shook his head to deny it. "Even if they knew, so what? My brother-in-law died a long time ago. The Qin family has the protection of a high-ranking family and knows nothing about Yuan Qingzong's affairs. They pose no threat. According to Yuan Qingzong's temperament, he will not do business that loses money."

If it's neither of these two situations, then it can only be that the Marquis of Danyang's Mansion has offended someone outside!

The Marquis of Danyang returned from his work in the palace on the second day after Qin came back.

Upon hearing that Qin was assassinated, Marquis Danyang was extremely concerned.

"Is the Madam injured?"

Qin informed the Marquis of Danyang of the dangerous situation that day and paid close attention to his reaction. The more the Marquis listened, the more he felt something was wrong and his expression became extremely gloomy and ugly.

Qin suddenly understood something in her mind and was afraid that the source of her fatal disaster was her husband.

She said with a little worry, "I don't know how I offended someone I shouldn't have offended, to suffer such a murderous disaster. These people are really cruel. They want to kill everyone, not even the two children. It doesn't matter if I die, but these two children are still young. If they die, I really can't live."

The Marquis of Danyang felt guilty and quickly hugged his wife to comfort her: "It's all my fault. I caused the trouble and made you suffer."

Qin's guess was confirmed, and she was quite surprised. "Where did you get that from? My husband is an official appointed by the court. Even if he offended someone in the court, he was still loyal to the country. How could he go to the extent of assassinating his relatives? He simply doesn't take the court's laws seriously."

Hearing her say this, Marquis Danyang felt even more guilty. He held her hand and said, "Madam, you are virtuous and kind, and I dare not hide anything from you. I guess the person behind this is probably..."

"who is it?"

"It's Jia Sheng."

Qin was stunned. "Even if he had an argument with my husband, he wouldn't have gone to the extent of killing me. What...what happened?"

Qin really couldn't understand it, but Marquis Danyang was very embarrassed.

"Madam, do you still remember Jia Sheng's sister Jia Mingzhu?"

Qin nodded slightly when she heard this.

"As far as I can remember, Jia Mingzhu is married. Why are you mentioning her?"

"During the time when my wife was away, Jia Mingzhu's husband died and she returned home to be a widow."

"so what?"

"She...seems to be attracted to me."

Qin was dumbfounded and looked at her husband in disbelief. What was going on?
