Chapter 13

After hearing the news that Qin Ruizhi was injured at the Yan family, she still ran out as if she had grown legs.But the news that spread was: Qin Ruizhi went to the Yan Mansion, begged Miss Yan, and wanted to ask herself to be a concubine. She kowtowed until she vomited blood, but failed to do so.

As a result, Qin Ruizhi's already bad reputation became even worse.I'm afraid if Qin Ruizhi goes out, even the dogs passing by will spit on her.

Poor Qin Ruizhi was originally just greedy and wanted to reach an unreachable high branch. In the end, she lost her life and even her posthumous reputation was completely ruined.

Qin Ruizhi was lying on the soft couch, with no emotion on her face. She was lost in thought while looking at the buds sticking out of the half-open window. Even Gao Lingchu didn't notice at all when he opened the door and walked in.

Gao Lingchu was afraid that his cousin was lying in bed at home, and he was forced to swallow the resentment that Mrs. Yan had set up a plot to murder her. He felt depressed and cautiously comforted: "Sister, if you feel that sitting around is boring, I will play chess with you."

Qin Ruizhi came back to her senses and raised her eyes to look at Gao Lingchu. Although it might be useless, she still wanted to ask: "Achu, is the war in Xiangzhou settled?"

"Xiangzhou?" Although Gao Lingchu didn't quite understand why he suddenly asked about Xiangzhou, he still thought about it seriously, "It seems that he heard a few words from his father, and it seems to have settled down."

Qin Ruizhi's heart sank, and she sat up from the couch, her clenched hands trembling slightly, "What about the Sheng family?"

"Which Sheng family?"

Gao Lingchu didn't know about the Sheng family and had never even heard of it.

The biggest feeling about the war in Xiangzhou is that there are many wandering beggars in Puzhou City.Xiangzhou and Puzhou are adjacent to each other, separated only by a long river. The area in Puzhou is called Pushui, and the area in Xiangzhou is called Xianghe.

Since King Xiang openly rebelled against the imperial court, Xiangzhou fell into war, and many people in Xiangzhou fled to Puzhou with their families.His father worked hard to resettle these homeless people and was so busy that he was dizzy.

"It's also a embarrassment for you." Qin Ruizhi didn't have much hope at first.

King Xiang's former vanguard general was bribed and turned against him before the battle. King Xiang had no one available, so he appointed her as a general to defend the city. If she were to die, the city would be destroyed, and the Sheng family would surely die without a burial place.

I knew it would be a bloody result, but I couldn't bear to see it with my own eyes.

It’s time to go to Xiangzhou.

It just so happened that her reputation had been ruined recently and Yan Yingzhu's wedding was approaching. This was a good opportunity.

Yan Yingzhu is about to get married. As an aunt and uncle, it is natural for her to prepare a generous gift.

But Gao Jinying was incorruptible, and the government was not well-off. He only prepared a pair of red gold silk bracelets and a pair of fists with large translucent jade Buddhas. As for the gift, Sun Xiumin was in trouble whether to give 100 taels or 500 taels.

After all, they are close relatives. 100 taels is a bit shabby, but 500 taels is really distressing.

Sun Xiumin took the gift list and sat there to consider it for a long time, trying to find someone to help with the advice.

Qin Ruizhi is here.

But after all, it was a gift from Yan Yingzhu. Because of the previous grudges, Sun Xiumin couldn't open her mouth and changed the subject abruptly: "Ruizhi, are you feeling better?" "Auntie, I'm tired of staying in the house and want to go out for a walk. ." Qin Ruizhi didn't even bother to find an excuse, and directly stated that she wanted to go to Xiangzhou, "I won't go far, just go to Xiangzhou for a walk, stay for ten and a half months, and come back when the matter is over."

When Sun Xiumin heard that he was going to Xiangzhou, his eyebrows jumped. The gift list in his hand fell to the ground. He bent down to pick it up, brushed off the dust on the gift list, sat down on the couch, calmed down for a moment, and then said: "Ruizhi, I know you I've been sad recently. Those people who don't know the inside story are talking nonsense and ruining your reputation. I have argued with them frequently. If you want to relax, ask your two sisters to accompany you to go for a walk outside the city and enjoy the flowers. Why do you have to go to Xiangzhou? That place has just finished the war and it is very chaotic. I heard that there is still a plague, so you must not go there."

"It only takes half a day to go outside the city to enjoy the flowers. If my aunt is at ease, I will go outside the city to enjoy the flowers. After a few days, I will go to the Yan family to have a drink. If I eat too much and do something incredible, I But there’s no guarantee.”

A smile appeared on Qin Ruizhi's lips, and she looked at Sun Xiumin with a half-smile, "Aunt, I've given you enough face to try to avoid Yan Yingzhu's wedding. If you're not satisfied, I won't go anywhere, I'll just wait at home. Drink Yan Yingzhu’s wedding wine.”

"It's not...I..." Sun Xiumin was choked and incoherent, "Ruizhi, it's not that I won't let you go..."

"Then I agree." Qin Ruizhi didn't give Sun Xiumin a chance to retort, "Then I'll go back and pack my luggage and leave tomorrow."

Then he left without looking back.

"No...this...why did you agree? I didn't agree."

Sun Xiumin twisted her thigh, crying from the pain.It's true, this is not a dream, a good girl must go to a war-torn place.

How could this girl be so capable of mischief?

Going to Xiangzhou was a big deal, not a trivial matter, and it was not something she could make the decision as a woman.

Sun Xiumin panicked and sent someone to the government office to tell Gao Jinying and ask him to come back to discuss the matter.

He waited until midnight, until the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, Gao Jinying came back covered with stars. He walked into the house and met his wife's eyes. He sighed slightly and said, "Didn't I tell you that you don't have to wait for me to come back? Leave it to me." Just a door will do.”

As Gao Jinying spoke, he walked over and sat down next to Sun Xiumin.

Sun Xiumin rubbed his sleepy head and said, "I really can't sleep either. I have something to discuss with you."

Speaking of Qin Ruizhi, he was very angry, and his tone could not help but complain: "I don't know why Ruizhi is so crazy, but he wants to go to Xiangzhou. The war in Xiangzhou has just ended, the people are in dire straits, and everything is in dire straits. After wars, wars often ensue. What's coming is a plague or a natural disaster. Everyone who can escape has escaped. She insists on going to a girl's house. I can't persuade you to go and talk to her. If she still doesn't listen, then Do something about it, it's better to suffer a little and lose your life in a war-torn place. In short, Ruizhi can't go to that place."

"Is it because of this?" Gao Jinying looked calm and said in a relaxed tone, "Then just follow her and let her go."

"Gao Jinying..."

Sun Xiumin stood up suddenly, his eyes were cold and his face was red with anger, "Ruizhi is your biological sister's child. We raised it with our own hands. It's not her biological child, but it's no different. Her mother was so indifferent to her that she even narrowly escaped death and picked up the child. You didn't even come out of Xikuoyuan to take a look at the child. You don't care about her at all. She is going to Xiangzhou, Xiangzhou, where the war was still going on two months ago."

"Madam, please calm down and don't be impatient." Gao Jinying patted his wife on the shoulder and comforted her softly: "Even if Ruizhi wants to go, she will definitely not be able to go."
