The whole family was wiped out?The treacherous minister turned around and cooed at me

Chapter 17 For herself
That was someone who did not belong to the Prime Minister's Palace. After a moment of hesitation, she gently put down the needle and thread in her hand and sneered: "You came here at this time to see if I am dead?"

Behind him, the man in black said nothing, only looking at Qin Shuangjiang with complex and resentful eyes.

After getting no answer, after a moment of silence, Qin Shuangjiang slowly turned his head, his eyes turned slightly, and his slightly provocative eyes fell on Qin Tianyou, who was dressed in black behind him.

Almost at the same time, Qin Tianyou used his strength under his feet and flashed to Qin Shuangjiang with a few phantom steps. He raised his hand, grabbed her neck suddenly and lifted her up from the ground.

Qin Shuangjiang didn't resist, but felt her back tighten and she slammed into a pillar. Qin Tianyou didn't hold her neck with too much force, but the look in her eyes made him want to chop her alive.

He asked her in a low voice: "Why are you doing this?!"

Qin Shuangjiang looked indifferent and let him pinch her neck. Even though he didn't say it clearly, she knew that Qin Tianyou was asking about Zhao Ziyu.

She looked at him with confused and innocent eyes: "You only said you asked me to give him the things, but you didn't say I couldn't kill him."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Tianyou's suppressed anger started to burn up again. When he heard about Zhao Ziyu's murder, he still didn't believe it. After asking for more verifications, he found out that he actually died from a snake and scorpion needle.

Qin Tianyou became so angry that he no longer even tried to cover it up. He directly pulled down his veil and pinched Qin Shuangjiang's neck with his hands slightly harder. A heavy feeling of suffocation came over him. However, Qin Shuangjiang's eyes showed no fear and she still looked at him calmly.

Until he gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out the words: "What kind of ecstasy soup did he pour into you? Can you be so easily instigated to rebel? Qin Shuangjiang, don't forget, if I hadn't raised you 18 Year, how could you have the glory and wealth you have today? How can you repay what you owe me?"

Listening to his gritted teeth, Qin Shuangjiang grabbed his neck and raised his head slightly to look at him, but his eyes were particularly calm, and he even smiled lightly.

Then she spoke with some difficulty: "You wanted me to die, didn't you? That day, when the house was raided, I went to distract Yan Xu'an's officers and soldiers, but you still poisoned me. Qin Yilan was arrested because of My fault? She is obviously stupid."

She was right. Most of the officers and soldiers were indeed lured away by Qin Shuangjiang that day, and they mistook her for Qin Yilan.

However, in the end, Yan Xu'an still underestimated Yan Xu'an's power. Although he escaped by chance, Qin Yilan was captured.

Thinking of this, Qin Tianyou suppressed the anger in his heart. Under Qin Shuangjiang's calm eyes, he forced himself to loosen his grip on her neck. As if after being reminded, he remembered something and asked in a low voice: "Yi Where is Lan?"

Hearing this, Qin Shuangjiang smiled lightly and simply leaned against the pillar behind her with a lazy posture. She said, "I'm not Yan Xu'an, how do I know? Do you think I have the ability to hide her?" "

Not to mention her identity as a hidden person, based on her reputation as Qin Tianyou's adopted daughter, even if Yan Xu'an uses his own methods to help her get out of slavery, she is still guilty in the eyes of the world. body.

Except for Yan Xu'an, it would be the greatest mercy for others not to add insult to injury. How could she have any power?
She has nothing but herself. Ever since she was a child, being alive has been the greatest gift.

Qin Shuangjiang's answer made Qin Tianyou's face suddenly darken again. Before Qin Tianyou could say anything else, she smiled slightly and said: "I don't know where Qin Yilan is, but I know what Yan Xuan will do next. What do you want to hear?”

As they spoke, the two looked at each other. Qin Tianyou frowned, his eyes already filled with alertness and vigilance. Qin Shuangjiang didn't care, he just left the pillar behind him with a smile, straightened his clothes, and walked to the embroidery. In front of the shed, he sat calmly with his sleeves fluttered, his long fingers gently stroking the unfinished mountain and river map in front of him.

After waiting for a moment, as she expected, Qin Tianyou's question came from behind: "Since you killed Zhao Ziyu and were instigated by Yan Xu to rebel, why should I believe your words?" Qin Shuangjiang's fingers caressing the mountain and river map and smiling slightly After a pause, his expression remained unchanged: "In this case, you and I have nothing to talk about. Now you have two ways, leave immediately, or wait to be caught."

Listening to her indifferent tone, Qin Tianyou was a little unsure of her thoughts at the moment. For the first time, he felt that this person who had been by his side for 18 years and had been controlled by him for 18 years was actually like this at this moment. strangeness.

He didn't leave, and he couldn't leave now that he was in this situation. Yan Xu'an controlled almost all the aristocratic families that had contact with the General's Mansion, and wanted to force him to show up on his own initiative, but how could he give in so easily?

For him, Qin Shuangjiang was his only breakthrough. Of course, he would not give up easily. While thinking, he tried to be as gentle as possible and asked: "Shuangjiang, what are you thinking?"

When Qin Shuangjiang heard this, the smile on her face gradually faded away. She changed her relaxed and lazy look before. After a moment of silence, she said, "Me, I want to live."

After saying this, she slowly turned back and glanced at Qin Tianyou who was standing not far away. His eyes were complicated and her tone paused for a while before she turned back and her eyes fell back on the mountain and river map in front of her.

She gave a wry smile, sighed heavily, and said, "Did you know? When I was in the General's Mansion, I was always afraid at first that they would really torture me to death. Later I realized that I was naive. If It would be better if I really died. It would be really scary to want to die but not be able to die, but now I can live. If you were me, what would you choose?"

Of course, there is no need to think about this problem. Smart people will choose to be incited to rebel. The same is true for Qin Shuangjiang. The environment in which she grew up has prevented her from developing many feelings or emotions. She just wants to live.

Qin Shuangjiang said without looking back. He knew without looking that Qin Tianyou was probably confused and shocked at the moment. The doubt was that a person who had been controlled for 18 years should not have such an independent consciousness. The shock was probably a reaction. , he, like Qin Yilan, misunderstood her character.

But it was precisely because she did not look back at him that she missed the flash of self-blame and intolerance in his eyes. Although it was only a moment, Qin Tianyou still looked away silently.

He immediately changed the subject: "Explain clearly why you want to kill Zhao Ziyu? I'll just trust you again."

Qin Shuangjiang lowered his eyes, a smile flashed in his eyes. He had no other choice now. Of course he would compromise. He said this just to make himself look less passive.

Thinking of this, her plain gaze always fell on the embroidery in her hand, her slender fingers picked up the needle and thread on the side, and the needle and thread passed through the thin embroidery cloth.

She looked calm, her thoughts turned slightly, and she explained in a quiet tone: "You know, I am following Yan Xu'an now. He is famous for his bad temper. If such a person knows what happened to me and Zhao Ziyu, I will I still can’t survive. If I die, how can I deliver news to you?”

"Furthermore, do you think Zhao Ziyu really has the ability to move to Yanxu'an? Since he died in my hands, it proves that this person really didn't have any great talents. Otherwise, I should have been the one who died that day. "

"In this case, even if I don't kill him, Yan Xu'an can kill him with just a few clicks of his fingers, so why not let me take the credit and make him trust me more."

"What do you say?"

At the last sentence, Qin Shuangjiang turned his head and looked directly at Qin Tianyou again. He lost his usual caution and innocence, and had charming fox eyes with a faint smile, as if he was sure of victory.

As their eyes met, Qin Tianyou felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, and his thoughts were running around. He didn't realize that she was pretending so well. When everyone thought she was a submissive and timid little girl, she was actually the real one. real fox...
