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

Chapter 51 Where do you think he will go?

If he wasn't here to kill her, what was the purpose of this hidden arrow?hint?warn?Or... what message is it conveying?
Thinking of this, Zhuling frowned again and looked at Qin Shuangjiang with slightly confused and inquiring eyes, becoming more and more confused about the meaning of this.

Their eyes met, as if they were aware of Zhu Ling's suspicion. Qin Shuangjiang smiled gently at her, pretended to be unaware, and said, "There is nothing wrong with me, Master Ling, don't worry."

Zhuling retracted her gaze and said nothing. She only turned her eyes slightly and looked at Bai Kou: "You stay here with Madam. Be careful. I'll go out for a while and I'll be back soon."

Bai Kou nodded in response, and Zhu Ling just glanced at Qin Shuangjiang before turning around and leaving.

The door was closed, and Bai Kou hurriedly helped Qin Shuangjiang to the bed and sat down. He carefully covered her with a quilt while she was sitting on the bed.

Qin Shuangjian leaned on the soft pillow, and Bai Kou comforted him in a low voice: "Madam, don't worry, although the Lord is not in the house, but Sister Zhuling is here, he will definitely not call the Madam's hand."

Qin Shuangjiang smiled and nodded without saying much.

The night passed and Zhuling came back when the sky was getting brighter. Qin Shuangjiang just took a nap and then got up. When Zhuling came in, she was sitting at the table reading a book.

Qin Shuangjiang raised his eyes calmly and met her increasingly doubtful eyes. When Bai Kou saw her coming back, he rushed to greet her and asked, "Sister Zhuling, how are you? Have you been caught?"

Zhuling shook her head, with a somewhat sad look on her face, and glanced at Qin Shuangjiang with vague eyes. Although she felt something, Qin Shuangjiang still looked unaware and only looked at her with a smile.

Maybe it was Qin Shuangjiang's gaze that made her feel a little uncomfortable while accepting the appointment, but she couldn't tell what made her uncomfortable, so she could only sigh softly, looked away, shook her head, and answered Bai Kou's question.

Then he said: "Madam, your Excellency is back. Please go to the study."

Qin Shuangjiang lowered his eyes and did not refuse. He just asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhuling was silent and did not speak immediately. After a moment, she said: "This is not something that my subordinates can just know. Madam can just go."

Hearing this, Qin Shuangjiang was not annoyed. He just nodded without asking any more questions. He stood up and asked Bai Kou to change his clothes.

The sky was gray and bright, and the maids and servants in the mansion had begun to clean the courtyard in an orderly manner.

When Qin Shuang came to the study, Yan Xu'an stood by the window, looking out the window thoughtfully, as if waiting for her.

Qin Shuangjian walked into the house and bowed slightly: "My lord."

Hearing the sound, Yan Xu'an turned around and stretched out his hand towards her. Qin Shuangjiang stepped forward and held his hand naturally. The two of them walked to the table and sat down. Qin Shuangjiang poured him tea as usual.

He looked at her without saying a word. She put the cup in her hand in front of him and asked, "Your Excellency, are you looking for me because of General Qin's affairs?"

Yan Xuan did not deny it, but only asked her: "Where do you think he will go?"

Qin Shuangjiang didn't answer immediately, and he was inevitably a little confused. Was he testing her by asking, or was he really seeking her opinion?
After all, when Qin Tianyou was captured, Yan Xu'an had already found the mother worm of the Chi Dan Gu on him and helped Qin Shuangjiang take out the daughter worm, so now, she is no longer under anyone's control.

She hesitated and thought for a long time before saying: "In the past, he would definitely go to Wuxi Pavilion, which was the last place to stay. But now, Wuxi Pavilion is no longer his place, and I don't know if he will still go there." Where are you going?" This was not a lie to him. Although Qin Shuangjiang grew up by Qin Tianyou's side, she actually did not fully know about Qin Tianyou's affairs.

Qin Tianyou treated her with the affection of father and daughter, but in fact, only he knew best in his heart whether he regarded her as his daughter.

She had never been to Wuxiu Pavilion, she had only heard about it from people who were on the mission together. In the past, Qin Tianyou had never allowed her to leave the general's residence privately.

Even in the general's palace, her movements were restricted. Where she could go and where she couldn't go was what he said, and she could never disobey him.

Yan Xu'an looked at her, his deep eyes showing no emotion. After a moment of silence, he said, "Is it possible for the Duke's Mansion to protect him?"

After listening to his words, Qin Shuangjiang thought for a moment and didn't know how to answer. He had heard before that Qin Tianyou didn't seem to have much contact with people in the Duke's Mansion.

It's not because they have any disputes. On the contrary, I heard from the old aunt in the mansion that the relationship between Qin Tianyou and Qin Shuyan has always been very good. Until the catastrophe in the Duke's mansion, they seemed to have some inexplicable feelings. gap.

No one can tell what the reason was. In short, at first, when the former wife of the Duke of Guo was around, she would occasionally move around. Later, she died of illness, and the two families seemed to have completely stopped contacting each other.

In Qin Shuangjiang's memory, they had never had a relationship over any personal matter. It was as if they were familiar with each other, but it was said that Qin Shuyan and Qin Tianyou's relationship was so good that they could wear a pair of pants.

As for what it was for, there are many different opinions. Some said it was because of official career, while others said it was because the former wife of the Duke of Guo had turned from brother to love rival.

As for what the reason was, Qin Shuangjiang didn't know.

Qin Shuangjiang thought carefully for a moment and replied: "Although it is not impossible, it is the Duke's Mansion after all. If you want to search it, it may not be easy."

Yan Xu'an lowered his eyes and said nothing. Why didn't he know it? But when he asked, his intention didn't seem to be this.

Finally, he reached out and gently took her into his arms. As if he had confirmed something, he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Shuangjiang leaned in his arms obediently, feeling something vaguely in her heart. She looked up at him with some doubts, and met his slightly ruthless eyes.

She asked him in confusion: "Sir, what's wrong?"

Yan Xu'an didn't say anything, but the big hand around her shoulder unconsciously rubbed her shoulder. He stared at her deeply for a long time, then reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth and said a little helplessly: "It's okay, that's all. Asking for your opinion.”

Hearing this, Qin Shuangjiang didn't say anything, but slowly lowered his eyes, with a well-behaved look on his face, but he was a little doubtful in his heart.

She didn't dare to say that she absolutely knew Yan Xu'an, but after getting along with him for so long, she also roughly knew Yan Xu'an's current temperament. If it wasn't to confirm something, he would never ask her like this.

Although she was not 100% sure, one thing she knew was that what he asked Qin Shuyan must be more than just what was expressed in his words.

What on earth was he confirming to her?
