Beautiful woman

Chapter 32 Chapter 32 The secret is hidden
Mrs. Wang's shock was all reflected on her face.

Madam, this is so hidden!
Qin Xiangxiang showed an enigmatic smile: "Mother Wang, it's not that easy to go to Dali Temple to inquire. You can save it, I haven't done much in recent years..."

Mrs. Wang quickly took out a wad of silver notes from her arms and said, "Madam, there are three hundred notes in total here. They were given to me by my wife for emergency use before she left."

Qin Xiangxiang smiled.The total dowry given to her by Mrs. Zhong was no more than a hundred guan, and she had not yet seen her shadow.Something happened to Qin Wanwan, and the old slave beside Zhong immediately took out three hundred strings to help.

Mrs. Wang was really scared when she saw Qin Xiangxiang's smile. She gritted her teeth and took out a banknote from her arms: "Madam, this is your dowry, one hundred coins..."

Qin Xiangxiang stretched out his hand, took all the banknotes, stuffed them into his arms, and looked at Mrs. Wang: "As agreed, I will only inquire about it, but don't care about anything else."

"How can this be done? The eldest lady is also a member of the Qin family. She will be both prosperous and devastated..." Mrs. Wang blurted out.

Qin Xiangxiang smiled again: "Mother Wang probably didn't think so when she invited Mrs. Ma's family over."

Mrs. Wang shut up immediately.

Now that the matter has come to this, Mrs. Wang can only lower her eyebrows and say: "It's all up to the lady to make the decision."

Seeing Qin Xiangxiang still walking in, Mrs. Wang became anxious again: "Madam, this matter is urgent..."

"I am the eldest lady of the Qin family after all. When I go out to meet noble people, can I not change into better clothes?" Qin Xiangxiang looked at Mrs. Wang.

This is true.The clothes the eldest lady is wearing now are not as fragrant as the red sleeves beside her.Mrs. Wang stepped out of the way.

Qin Xiangxiang walked calmly and calmly, and Hongxiu Tianxiang hurriedly followed.

Back in the small courtyard, Qin Xiangxiang ordered: "Hongxiu picks out some clothes for me, adds incense and boils water. I will wash up later."

As soon as Tianxiang went out, Hong Xiu hesitated and asked Qin Xiangxiang: "Are you really going to Dali Temple to inquire?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. I'm soft-spoken and short-handed." Qin Xiangxiang was helpless.

Hongxiu: "..." You can also refuse the ones you don't want to take.

Hongxiu was going to pick out clothes for Qin Xiangxiang, but Qin Xiangxiang said: "I'm not busy, let me ask you, since my father is the leader of a gang, has he ever told you who are the officials in his gang? "

Hongxiu frowned: "Madam, I really don't know the details of this slave. I just want to save you. There probably is some in Dali Temple. But..."

"But what? Just say it."

"But when the master was in trouble, no one from Dali Temple showed up. Moreover, this time the second lady was escorted back to Beijing, and no one from Dali Temple secretly gave us a message."

Hong Xiu’s analysis makes sense.

Wait, speaking of secretly delivering messages, Qin Xiangxiang remembered that Ma Sizhi had told her about Qin Wanwan.Is it possible that Ma Sizhi is actually on the side of the Qin family?Otherwise, why did he tell her about Crown Prince Song for no reason?Even the Empress Dowager Song didn't know about something, but she actually knew it first?With this thought, Ma Sizhi's actions suddenly became reasonable.

It feels so good to have someone in the court!No wonder many people are willing to pay various costs to gain power.

But Ma Sizhi is just a small eighth-rank Sizhi of Dali Temple. Can he plead for her father?A low-ranking official like Ma Sizhi would probably have few opportunities to see the emperor in this life.

Qin Xiangxiang's mood was like a roller coaster.

But it is always a good thing to make sure whether Ma Sizhi is a friend or an enemy.

Qin Xiangxiang's clothes were really shabby. If it weren't for the difference in stature between the two, Hongxiu would have given Qin Xiangxiang her own clothes to wear.

Qin Xiangxiang said, "We are going to Dali Temple and we are not guests. There is nothing wrong with dressing more simply."

Hongxiu: "..." Fortunately, although Qin Xiangxiang is not a great beauty, she is better because of her youth. Hongxiu spent some effort to dress up Qin Xiangxiang and made Qin Xiangxiang look better than usual.

But when Qin Xiangxiang walked, his true nature was revealed.After all, she is a harem girl without the guidance of her aunt.Although Qin Xiangxiang walked calmly, he always felt that he was missing a bit of temperament.

Tian Xiang shook his head behind Qin Xiangxiang.

The three of them got out of the courtyard. This time Mrs. Wang learned her lesson and hurriedly came up to them: "Madam, the carriage is already hitched."

No one from the Zhong family even showed their faces.

Qin Xiangxiang didn't care, and just followed Mrs. Wang and walked out through the corner door next to the main entrance.

There was indeed a carriage outside, but the carriage didn't look very good. Not to mention the old green roof, the horse also looked a little decadent, and the driver's hair was gray.

Mrs. Wang explained: "The master and his wife took away all the best carriages. This is something that the old slave found with great difficulty."

That's all, for the sake of three hundred dollars, she had nothing to care about.

Qin Xiangxiang stepped on the horse stool and got into the car, and found that a familiar-looking young lady was already sitting inside.Qin Xiang thought about it, this little lady was not the eldest maid Si Ping next to the second lady.There were many maids around Qin Wanwan, and Qin Xiangxiang almost couldn't remember all their names.But she still knew about Si Ping. Si Ping was bought to keep Qin Wanwan company when she was very young, and she grew up with Qin Wanwan.

It's already this time, and Siping is still a little arrogant: "Siping, please greet me, Madam."

The carriage is not big, so it is impossible to squeeze four people into it.But now it is no longer a question of whether to squeeze in or not, but Siping is sitting in the carriage like a master.

Hongxiu was a little unhappy: "Si Ping, how can you overstep your bounds?"

Qin Xiangxiang said, "Forget it, Hongxiu, you and Tianxiang can just walk. Anyway, the right prison of Dali Temple is not too far away. It just so happens that I have something to ask Si Ping."

Hong Xiu then closed the door.

The carriage set off slowly. Qin Xiangxiang didn't say anything, and neither did Siping.

The carriage is not well soundproofed, so Tianxiang is talking to Hongxiu outside.

"How long has it been? You are obviously asking the eldest lady to do something, but you are still so arrogant." Tian Xiang was really rude.She is Qin Guanlan's favored maid, and she is not afraid of Shiping.

Hongxiu only smiled: "Si Ping must have been frightened. I don't know how long she traveled and how much hardship she endured before she rushed back to Kyoto."

Si Ping's face turned pale, and finally she took the initiative to speak: "Madam, please save Second Madam."

Qin Xiangxiang was still sitting calmly: "Do you have any instructions before the second lady comes back?"

"Those officials arrived in a hurry and did not give the master and the second lady time to talk." Si Ping recalled, "The master was seriously injured and the journey was bumpy. The medicine prepared by the doctors always made the master drowsy."

"What about the lady?"

Si Ping gritted her teeth and said, "Madam asked me to ask the eldest lady to help me take care of things when I get back to the capital. Other than that, I have no other instructions."

Qin Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief.What, she thought Mrs. Zhong could have someone she could entrust to her, but it turned out to be herself.Probably Mrs. Zhong thought she was going to marry into the Zhou family, so she could ask the Zhou family for help.

But Mrs. Zhong actually thinks that the Zhong family is less reliable than her?
The carriage was narrow, so Qin Xiangxiang gently stretched her legs, revealing her recently bought shoes under her skirt.I have been busy in the past two days, and there are some mud spots on the shoes, which is a bit ugly.Qin Xiangxiang saw a look of contempt on Siping from the corner of his eye.

She remained calm and asked Si Ping: "How did the Second Lady and the Crown Prince of Song know each other?"
