Seeing that the person on the bed was breathing evenly and long, the young man smiled slightly and took away the brocade bag by the window.
He sat beside Qin Jiaoxi's bed, looked down at the red fingerprints on her chin, took out a bottle of ointment from his arms, and gently applied it on her face.
The cold touch made Qin Jiaoxi subconsciously reach out to scratch it.
The young man caught her restless little hand and shook it gently. When she calmed down, he slowly stuffed her little hand back into the quilt.
Then he reached into his arms, took out a round tourmaline the size of his thumb, and began to wrap a red rope around the tourmaline.
Accompanied by gentle and shallow breathing, the red rope was twisted and turned into a strong frame, which firmly framed the tourmaline in the center, forming a pendant.
The braided red rope was passed through the tourmaline pendant, and the young man hung it gently around Qin Jiaoxi's neck.
Just listen to him leaning over her ear and whispering:
"This is a token of love, girl, don't get rid of it!"
…
Qin Xiangfu.
After finally staying up until night fell, Mrs. Qin was waiting in the courtyard with her neck stretched out.
The conversation she had with Prime Minister Qin ended on bad terms last night, and today the entire Qin Mansion closed its doors to thank guests, leaving everyone in the outside world confused.
"This is obviously a great event. Logically speaking, no one should be allowed to celebrate for three days and three nights. Why is it that our house is so dull, as if something has caused trouble!"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. Don't you want your life? Didn't you see that my wife and prime minister were unhappy yesterday?"
"This is not the time to make a fuss, and I don't know what Madam is thinking!"
"Hey, don't you all know? The eldest lady went out yesterday and didn't come back all night. I heard that she caused a big trouble outside, so she had a conflict with the master!"
Grandma Wang happened to be passing by the back kitchen carrying snacks. When she heard this, she shouted angrily: "You're all full? You're just chatting here. Do you want Madam to betray you all?"
The women were so frightened that they quickly dispersed.
Grandma Wang was so angry that she went back to the yard and persuaded Mrs. Qin to eat while sighing: "Since the relatives of the second aunt's house have stuffed a few women in, the kitchen and backyard have become more and more unruly. Madam, you'd better eat."
Some things, otherwise how would you have the energy to take care of the house?"
Mrs. Qin turned a deaf ear and kept staring in the direction of the hall, as if waiting for someone.
Seeing this, Grandma Wang stopped talking.
As early as the end of Xu Shi, Prime Minister Qin came back smelling of alcohol, but went directly into the courtyard of the third aunt.
But Grandma Wang felt that if she said this, it would be even harder to persuade her master to eat.
So he stood silently with the plate in hand until the end of Haishi.
In the end, it was Mrs. Qin who withdrew her gaze.
"Mommy!"
Grandma Wang quickly stood up straight and said, "What would you like to eat, madam?"
Mrs. Qin shook her head: "Do you think a man can't accept something bad happening to his woman?"
Grandma Wang was stunned: "How could it be? What bad things are you referring to, madam?"
Mrs. Qin lowered her eyes faintly: "Mom, do you still remember that ten years ago, I accompanied the old lady to go to Cangpu Temple to offer incense?"
Grandma Wang suddenly opened her eyes: "Madam! Are you talking about what happened ten years ago? But at that time, didn't the prime minister take people to Cangpu Temple in time, kill the gang of robbers, and find you who was imprisoned?
With the old lady?"
After a pause, he continued: "Besides, it was not just you, madam, who was robbed at that time, there were also so many official wives and ladies. Although they were all robbed for two hours, they were all fine!"
Mrs. Qin looked slightly bitter and said softly: "But I am locked up in a different room than the other ladies!"
