Cheng Xi and Shen Xingqi were pulled to sit in a row, and the maids from Wu'an Hou Mansion quickly brought several plates of pastries.
The room was as warm as spring due to the existence of a spring, and the brewed black tea was filled with hot air. The coolness on the two of them was instantly dissipated without a trace.
“It’s really warm here.”
“If you like it, stay a few more days.”
Qu Shaoya was very happy that her friends supported her, “During the snowstorm last year Thanks to the existence of this hot spring village, most people in Beijing moved to live nearby. ”
"Yes, I remember that it took a lot of time to clear the road from the suburbs of Beijing to here."
Cheng Xi felt a little funny when he saw Qin Nan's frightened expression on his face.
"Then I'm lucky this time."
On the way here, Wang Shu also told her about the distribution of hot springs in the suburbs of Beijing. Since the discovery of the springs, the area here has greatly expanded. Most of the place was divided up by the powerful people in the capital. At that time, the Qin family still spent a lot of money to acquire a small courtyard.
“Is sister Qin coming from Beijing or from the Qin family’s hot spring village nearby?”
"Beijing."
Qin Nan looked at Qu Shaoya subconsciously, with a bit of worry in his eyes.
Huh? What's going on?
Cheng Xi and Shen Xingqi followed her gaze and saw Qu Shaoya smiling slightly.
"Sister Qin was worried about me moving here to stay with me. It's all family business, so I'm not afraid of your jokes when talking about it."
The few girls had similar temperaments and regarded each other as confidants. Moreover, Cheng Xi was actually involved in this matter. In a few words, they recounted the recent events.
A big event happened in Wu'an Hou Mansion recently. In short, the young marquis Qu Shaojing finally found out the mastermind behind his assassination. Marquis Wu'an had three sons and two daughters. Qu Shaojing and Qu Shaoya were the legitimate children of his principal wife. The other two sons and one daughter were all concubines. According to the investigation, it was the second aunt in the family who killed her son in order to seize the throne. She bribed the servants in the family and even It was the nanny next to Mrs. Wu Anhou who worked for her, and she got hold of Qu Shaojing's whereabouts.
“Hmph, we don’t know whether her sickly son will survive beyond death, but how dare you act so impatiently!”
Mentioning this matter, Young Master Qu She was extremely elegant, with her baby-fat little face bulging. Qin Nan sighed while sharing the same hatred. Shen Xingqi was very confused when she heard the secrets of the big family for the first time.
"Sister Qu, your concubine's second brother is in poor health?"
"Yes, it is said that he was born with dystocia, which caused congenital deficiencies. His face is often pale, and he must be fed with precious medicinal materials all year round."
You still have to fight for the heir apparent with such a bad body? Even if you fight for it, will you enjoy your life?
"Then why do you want to attack Sister Jiang, just because Wu'an Marquis Mansion and Jiang Mansion are getting married?"
"If my brother gets married, he will be an adult, and my father intends to marry him. After the marriage, she requested for her brother to inherit the throne. The second aunt was unable to assassinate her brother for the first time, so she attacked Sister Jiang because she was in a critical condition and had to seek medical attention.”
Then this second aunt is too crazy.
Shen Xingqi always felt that something was not right, but she couldn't tell what was strange.
Cheng Xi pondered and said, "The second concubine of your mansion actually bribed the nanny next to my aunt. I wonder who it is?"
"It's Aunt Shang, who is in charge of the middle school of the mansion for my mother. feed "
Qu Shaoya was angry and sad, "Mother Shang has watched her brother grow up, but she doesn't want to do something like this one day. Her mother will be sad when she finds out."
Being in charge of the central government means knowing the daily whereabouts of the master and servants in the house. It is easy to leak some information.
