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

Chapter 18
After a long time, Qin Tianyou suddenly smiled with unknown meaning, which seemed to be self-deprecating, but also had a hint of bitterness. His wrinkled face now looked even more weathered and decadent.

He smiled and shook his head, his tone helpless: "I didn't know you had such a plan, but I underestimated you."

Among all the dark men he had secretly raised, there were only four of them as special as Qin Shuangjiang. Perhaps she had been bullied by Qin Yilan and others, which gave him the impression that Qin Shuangjiang was the weakest among the four.

Hearing this, Qin Shuangjiang smiled silently and replied nonchalantly: "You're so complimentary." Then, she turned back and continued to fiddle with the needle and thread in her hands, with a slight smile on her lips.

Qin Tianyou looked at her with deep eyes, and suddenly he hesitated to speak. Qin Shuangjiang paused slightly in his hand movements and glanced at him from the corner of his eye, thinking that he wanted to ask Yan Xu'an about something.

So, she took the initiative and said: "If I guessed correctly, Yan Xu'an will remove all the secret guards who have been placed in the lintel of the aristocratic family that was once loyal to you, just to lure you out, catch you, and force you to You hand over the female worm."

After that, Qin Tianyou didn't answer, he just frowned and looked at Qin Shuangjiang in front of him with more and more complex eyes. Qin Shuangjiang looked back at him casually and knew what he was thinking, and just said: "Of course, this It's not Yan Xu'an who told me, it's my own guess. I think he will definitely do this. As for whether you believe it or not, that's your own decision."

After the words fell, there was another long silence. Qin Tianyou frowned, and his piercing eyes were locked on Qin Shuangjiang's face, trying to see any clues from her calm expression. After waiting for a long time, he finally He finally gave in and sighed.

Immediately, he said tentatively: "You just said that Yan Xu'an can let you live, so you chose him, why are you betraying him now?"

Hearing this, Qin Shuangjiang's face still showed no emotion. She said calmly: "The current situation is indeed like this, but I don't think it will last for too long. Qin Shuyan and Cao Sheng are not vegetarians, otherwise they should have been there in the first place. Let the Duke Qin Shuyan do the surgery, not the General's Mansion."

"As a human being, you can't just look at the immediate benefits. I have to make plans for my future livelihood. Besides, I don't know if the poison in my body can really be unlocked."

After listening to her explanation, Qin Tianyou finally understood. Didn't this mean that she would follow whoever gained power?

What a cool white-eyed wolf.

Qin Tianyou chuckled: "You are really cruel."

Qin Shuangjiang just curled his lips, moved his hands in a slow and orderly manner, and said in a nonchalant tone: "You are confused. Killers have no heart, nor affection and love. You taught me this."

After saying that, she turned to look at Qin Tianyou's expression. As she expected, he was deeply affectionate and complicated. He was speechless for a long time. He was obviously choked by these words...

When Qin Tianyou left, it was almost midnight. Looking at the empty room and the open window, outside the window, with the slightly brighter moonlight, she could see that the dead branches growing outside the wall had already grown. Green buds are about to be seen.

She stared blankly for an unknown amount of time, forgetting to put down the needle in her hand. Until she kept paying attention to the room, she noticed that Bai Kou, who had not turned off the lights in the room and came in to check, came to her side.

"Miss? You haven't slept yet?" Bai Kou was helpless.

Only then did Qin Shuangjiang look away. Seeing that she was about to persuade again, Qin Shuangjiang lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing. He just put the needle and thread in his hand aside, then consciously stood up and walked towards the inner room.

Seeing this, Bai Kou was a little dazed. After a moment, she realized what she was doing and hurriedly stepped forward to help her change her clothes.

After this incident, not long after, as Qin Shuangjiang and Qin Tianyou said, Yan Xu'an really removed all the guards sent to various noble families in the name of protection.

I learned the news three days later. The weather was rare and sunny. Before noon, the slightly warm sunshine fell on the yard. Qin Shuangjiang was sitting in the yard pruning the newly delivered rose branches to Yan Xuan.In fact, she was a little unsure in her heart, whether she really guessed it correctly, or whether the people Yan Xu'an sent beside her heard what she and Qin Tianyou said and took advantage of it.

While he was thinking about it, the boy outside came in from the far door, holding an exquisite brocade box in his hand. He walked up to Qin Shuangjiang and nodded slightly: "I've seen the girl before."

Seemingly noticing what the servant called her, Qin Shuangjiang glanced at him and realized that he was not a servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion judging from his clothes, but since he could get in, he should be allowed.

Qin Shuangjiang didn't pay too much attention. He just glanced at the brocade box in his hand with indifferent eyes and asked softly: "What is this?"

The boy stepped forward, put the things on the table, and carefully opened the lid of the brocade box. There were several exquisite snacks neatly stacked inside. The boy bent over and explained with a smile: "I heard that the girl recently She has just recovered from a serious illness, so my princess specially sent her slave to bring some fresh almond cake for the girl to try. It is still warm, please give it a try, girl."

After listening to the boy's words, Qin Shuangjiang didn't do anything. The hot almond cake still exuded a sweet aroma. She lowered her eyes and turned her eyes slightly to look at Bai Kou, who was on the same side. Bai Kou also had a look on her face. Confused, obviously not knowing where this person came from.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Shuangjiang withdrew his gaze and looked at the young boy whose smiling eyes were bent into thin slits, unable to block his friendly face. Then he said with a hint of inquiring tone: "I have the guts to ask, do you The princess is...?"

The boy nodded slightly and replied: "His Royal Highness Prince Kang's wife, Princess Kang."

Qin Zhiyun...

Qin Shuangjiang looked at the almond cake on the table, thoughtfully. They had only met once during the reception banquet, but they were not familiar enough to give each other things.

Qin Shuangjiang was still hesitating. Bai Kou, who was standing aside, also glanced at the almond cake in the box and said silently, "My lord, I'm really sorry. My lady can't eat this almond cake. Once she eats the almond cake, she can't eat it." I get red rashes all over my body when I make something, and I’m afraid I’m going to live up to Princess Kang’s kindness.”

Hearing this, the young man was slightly startled at first, and then looked surprised and apologetic. After he came to his senses, he apologized again and again: "Oh, I'm so sorry, girl. Don't worry too much. My princess also means well, but she's just a little confused."

Qin Shuangjiang smiled slightly and said he didn't mind, so he asked him to take the almond cake away. When he walked out of the yard, his figure gradually disappeared from sight, and Bai Kou muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's really strange. Where is there anyone to send food?" Don’t you ask about each other’s taboos in advance?”

Qin Shuangsheng sat aside, playing with the roses in the flowerpot in front of him without saying a word, pretending not to care, but he also knew in his heart that if it were an ordinary person, this would not be a strange thing, but the other party was Qin Zhiyun.

Given her background and status, she must have had a plan to give something to someone. Judging from the boy's attitude just now, he couldn't have deliberately ridiculed her, nor could he be flattering. In terms of status, In terms of status, Qin Shuangjiang is not even half as good as hers.

That leaves only one situation: testing.

But what is Qin Zhiyun trying to test?They only met once, they didn't know each other, and they didn't even talk to each other. What on earth is there about her that makes Qin Zhiyun so interested?

Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of a maid's greeting came from not far away. Qin Shuangjiang turned around and saw that Zhuling had walked into the far gate.

"Miss." She bowed her hands in greeting and bluntly stated her purpose: "My lord, please go to the study to serve me."
