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

Chapter 39 An Uneasy Night
Qin Anhe's disappearance made Mrs. Qin sick, and she thought about her little daughter who was taken away all day long. Fortunately, Qin Anhe was found when she was two years old, but Mrs. Qin passed away soon after.

Perhaps it was because of their guilt for their youngest daughter that the Qin family doted on their lost and recovered daughter. Although she was not a princess, she was still better than a princess. As long as she didn't want it, there was nothing she couldn't get.

Qin Shuangjiang nodded and said nothing. Not long after, the door of the closed guest room was knocked again. The waiter from the teahouse brought two plates of snacks in and then turned out.

Qin Zhiyun greeted enthusiastically: "Try it quickly. This is their signature snack. Every time I come with Anhe, she must eat it. You will definitely like it too."

This time, Qin Shuangjiang did not refuse. He casually picked up the snacks on the table and took a bite. In Qin Zhiyun's expectant eyes, he nodded: "It's delicious."

Seeing this, Qin Zhiyun smiled reassuringly, as if he was relieved, and pushed the plate of snacks in front of her: "As long as you like it."

After saying that, she turned around and waved, and the maid waiting at the side handed over a half-embroidered dragon and phoenix in auspicious patterns, and handed the embroidered bandage to Qin Shuangjiang with great interest: "I heard that my sister is very good at embroidery. Today I have to ask my sister to help me see how the dragon and phoenix embroidery is doing."

Qin Shuangjiang didn't refuse, he just smiled and took the embroidered bandage she handed over, and responded: "Sister, you're welcome." His eyes fell on the embroidered bandage...

When the incident at the teahouse was over and Qin Shuangjiang left, the sun was almost setting. When he walked out of the teahouse door, he saw blue bricks and rubble, and the end of the empty street was marked by the setting sun that had not completely set.

Standing outside the teahouse, Qin Shuangjiang looked around. Only a few guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion could not see Bai Kou, but they clearly brought her out with them.

She turned to look at the guard beside her: "Where is Bai Kou?"

The guards looked at each other in confusion, and they were speechless until Qin Shuangjiang saw one of the guards looking erratically towards something, which happened to be the blind spot blocked by the carriage.

Qin Shuangjiang was a little suspicious. He went around the back of the carriage and saw Bai Kouzhen sitting in front of the closed shop opposite, joking with a man dressed as a beggar. He was still holding something to eat that he had just bought.

It wasn't until Qin Shuangjiang coughed that Bai Kou came back to his senses. He quickly got up and trotted up. He stood in front of Qin Shuangjiang and said with some embarrassment, "Madam."

Qin Shuangjiang didn't say anything, he just glanced at her and said, "Let's go." He turned to get on the carriage, but the next moment his sleeve was pulled by Bai Kou.

Qin Shuangjiang turned around and looked at her with a calm expression, saying nothing, but with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Bai Kou looked at her, then looked back at the beggar sitting on the steps behind him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, I think he is so pitiful. Let's take him back. He's not too thin. He's not too thin to stay here." It doesn't matter if you work as a coolie in the house, please, madam."

Qin Shuangjiang glanced at the people on the steps. His messy hair looked like it hadn't been taken care of for several years. It was stuck together in big clumps. The original color of his tattered clothes could no longer be seen. The only thing on his body was that His eyes, which were still bright, moved back and forth, but no place was clean.

Looking back, Qin Shuangjiang just asked her: "Do you know him?"

Bai Kou seemed a little confused by Qin Shuangjiang's words, but she still shook her head truthfully and looked at Qin Shuangjiang with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Qin Shuangjiang only said in a calm tone: "You don't even know him, how can you show such kindness? Besides, I don't have the right to take people back privately."

Although even if she takes him back, Yan Xu'an won't say anything as long as he is calm, but what if he is restless? To put it more seriously, what if he is a meticulous worker?What would Yan Xuan think of her?

With that said, in Bai Kou's slightly disappointed eyes, Qin Shuangjiang turned around and got into the carriage, leaving Bai Kou standing there, looking at the beggar on the street with sympathy. After waiting for a moment, he could only put his hand in his hand. He gave the little beggar some snacks and turned around to get into the carriage.

On the way back, Bai Kou looked aggrieved and disappointed. From time to time, she opened the curtains of the carriage and looked back. However, Qin Shuangjiang didn't care at all. He just closed his eyes as if nothing had happened and rested his mind.

Until she got off the carriage, Bai Kou, who used to be in a high mood, seemed a little absent-minded. She just helped Qin Shuang lower the footstool and walked into the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She followed Qin Shuang quietly.

Yan Xu'an seemed to be very busy. He hadn't come back since he left in the morning. When he returned to the yard, Bai Kou, although dissatisfied, didn't dare to say anything. He obediently prepared water for washing with the maid and boy.It was late at night, and the sky that had been clear and cloudless during the day was actually raining now. It started as a drizzle, and then gradually became a bit pouring.

After washing, Qin Shuangjiang didn't fall asleep yet. He just leaned on the couch and read a book by candlelight in the room. From time to time, a few thunders were heard outside, accompanied by lightning, which instantly illuminated the dark night.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. Qin Shuangjiang raised his eyes and saw a figure moving on the window. It must be a guard in the palace. Hearing the sound, he was a little anxious, but he couldn't hear what was said.

Qin Shuangjiang was a little confused. He gently put down the book in his hand and glanced at the entrance. He called Bai Kou several times but didn't see her coming in. He simply lifted up the thin quilt and got down on the bed.

Opening the door, Zhuling stood outside the door with her back to the door. When she heard the sound of the door opening behind her, Zhuling turned to look at Qin Shuangjiang.

Their eyes met, Qin Shuangjiang had not yet spoken, Zhuling looked cold, but she was the first to speak: "An assassin has been found in the house, and my subordinates have been ordered to come to protect my wife. Please don't move around at will."

Hearing the word "assassin", Qin Shuangjiang had all kinds of speculations in his mind, and for a moment he didn't know who would be the person to take action at this time.

But on the face, Qin Shuangjiang still smiled gently at her and nodded: "Thank you." Then he turned around and closed the door.

After re-entering the house, Qin Shuangjian walked to the window sill and looked at the rain falling outside, accompanied by lightning flashes from time to time. He was fascinated for a while.

It seems that tonight is destined to be an uneventful night.

At this time, the frantic footsteps of the guards were heard again outside the closed door, and Qin Shuangjiang's attention was attracted again.

"Lord Ling, it's bad, the lady is missing."

"Go find it! If you want to live, you want to see people, if you want to die, you want to see corpses!"

"Yes!"

As the man responded, he turned around and ran into the rain again, and calm was restored outside again.

Qin Shuangjiang stood in front of the window sill, but suddenly there was the sound of the door opening behind him. Zhuling walked into the house and looked at the person standing in front of the window, her eyes slightly focused.

Qin Shuangjiang smiled at her: "Master Ling, is there something wrong?"

"..." Zhuling didn't respond. She just looked up and down Qin Shuangjiang's body and then said, "It's nothing. It's not a peaceful night. If Madam can't sleep, I can chat with Madam."

Listening to her words, Qin Shuangjiang remained silent, but in fact he knew in his heart that chatting was just a pretense, and the main thing was to come in and watch her, just in case she disappeared inexplicably like Yan Yunxiang.

Qin Shuangjiang smiled, turned her eyes slightly, tightened her tight-fitting shirt, and said, "It's okay if you don't tell me, but now that you say it, I feel really sleepy."

She had already turned her head and walked towards the bed, walking slowly. When she reached the bedside, she turned around and saw Zhuling still standing there. After a moment of hesitation, she added: "But, I'm really scared. If If you don’t mind, Master Ling, you can come to the bedside and accompany me.”

As she spoke, she had already sat down, and her slender hands patted the place beside her intentionally or unintentionally. Her eyes were burning, with a gentle and seductive smile. Different from the past, this time it was just to disgust her.
