My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 12 In fact, he is not bad

On the carriage ride back, Qin Minzhen looked at Shen Yuan with admiration.

"Sister-in-law, you are so powerful. How did you know that that person deliberately framed me?"

Shen Yuan couldn't help but smile, reaching out to pinch the little girl's tender face to play with it.

"I just lied to him a few words, but he was so unintimidated that he immediately revealed his secret."

The little girl rubbed her pinched face and said with a frightened look on her face: "Thanks to my sister-in-law today, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Shen Yuan smiled and said seriously: "Actually, bad people are not scary. If they want to reason with you, then we are more reasonable than them; if we meet someone who is unreasonable, then we will fight with him. There are bad people too. Weaknesses can lead to fear, and we only have one life. As long as we are more willing to sacrifice ourselves than they are, the bad guys should be afraid of us."

Qin Minzhen looked thoughtful and nodded heavily, "I understand, sister-in-law, thank you for your teaching."

Shen Yuan touched her head and said, "That's right, we are a family."

Qin Minzhen looked shy, and leaned her furry head against Shen Yuan's arms and rubbed it gently.

Shen Yuan suddenly felt the pleasure of masturbating the cat and couldn't stop at all.

She knew in her heart that the storm would not really begin until they returned home.

But this is my mother-in-law's business. She won't meddle in my sister-in-law's inner courtyard.

Princess Hetai has always acted vigorously and resolutely. She only learned the news at noon that in the evening, several maids and women in Qin Min Zhencui Weiyuan had been sold one after another. The screams of being beaten and tortured could be heard throughout the afternoon.

Everyone in the Qin Mansion was in danger, and Princess Hetai had not been angry for a long time. This time someone plotted against the youngest daughter, which touched her nerves. It would be impossible without blood.

It was not until after dinner that the commotion in Cuiwei Courtyard calmed down.

Princess Hetai personally came to Minglan Courtyard, held Shen Yuan's hand and praised:
"You are a good person, I will keep this in mind."

Of course Shen Yuan was very happy. This was equivalent to her mother-in-law personally acknowledging this favor. This was already a very heavy commitment.

The old lady was more sincere and sent someone to deliver a valuable face in the evening as a reward to her.

Shen Yuan was so happy that she could basically walk around in the Qin family from now on.

Although she helped Qin Minzhen out of love, she was also sincere, so she never thought about getting something extra. It was a real surprise to have the old lady and Princess Hetai think of her.

It seems that sincerity is always a must-win.

Regarding her future life, Shen Yuan quietly made new plans in her heart.

On October 29 of the lunar calendar, Qin He finally returned home after leaving Beijing for about a month.

Looking at the old prince with a dusty face and dark handsome face, Shen Yuan felt a sense of heartache as his old age turned dark.

How could such a handsome man disappear after returning from a business trip?

However, it can be seen that his errand was not easy to handle. Not only did he look darker, but he also lost weight.

Qin He was already used to seeing her being nagging without blaming her. He went back home to meet his family, washed himself, and then immediately went to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit to return to his life.

It wasn't until the courtyard was about to be closed that Qin He came back with a chill.

Shen Yuan was reading a book on the bedside with his hair covered with black hair. When he saw him coming back, he sat up straight and asked, "Is the prince ready for dinner? Do you want someone to prepare a midnight snack?"

"I used some with His Majesty in the palace. I'm not hungry, so there's no need to call anyone."

Qin Hewu took off his coat and shoes, went into the side room and changed into his pajamas before coming out.

At this time, Shen Yuan had already gotten out of bed, twisted a hot handkerchief and handed it to him.

Qin He looked at her in surprise, took it silently, and wiped his face.

After washing up and blowing on the lamp, the couple went to bed to get ready for bed. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Shen Yuan coughed slightly: "Did the prince's errand go smoothly?"

She thought that since she decided to get along well with Qin He, it wouldn't be wrong to take the initiative.

Qin He raised his long eyebrows slightly, it turned out that was what she thought.

No wonder she suddenly became so virtuous. Before, she had been indifferent to him. "There were some mistakes in the middle, but it was not a big hindrance. I finally lived up to the divine grace."

Shen Yuan immediately understood that the job was done, and she couldn't help but feel happy for him.

Now that they are husband and wife, and Qin He is well, she will naturally benefit as well.

"How is the disaster situation in Huainan?"

Qin He's voice paused, and his tone was a little heavy, "It's not good. The fields are flooded and the people are displaced. Now the cold winter is approaching, which makes it even worse."

Shen Yuan's eyelids were sore after hearing this. She herself was a survivor of a natural disaster and she could not bear to see such a scene.

"Your Majesty, I want to donate some money and materials to help the victims. How should I do this?"

Without state and social assistance, she would not have been able to go to school, let alone get admitted to a first-class university and have a decent job and income.

So later on, when she was able, whenever there was a natural disaster in the country, she would donate according to her ability and give back wholeheartedly.

Qin He was shocked, and looked at Shen Yuan with some inexplicable meaning.

Shen Yuan thought she had said something wrong and asked doubtfully: "Is there anything wrong with this?"

"No, very good. How do you want to donate? If you can trust me, I can find someone to handle this matter on your behalf."

"That's great. I'm just worried about the transportation of supplies on the road."

Shen Yuan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "I want to take out 5000 taels, which will all be replaced by rice grains, winter clothes and medicinal materials, and sent to Huainan. These are probably what the victims need most at this time."

Qin He showed admiration, "You have thought very carefully. I will not let others waste your kindness."

As far as he knew, the dowry that Shen Yuan brought contained only 1 taels of silver notes at the bottom of the box, but she was able to use half of it for charity without regret, which showed that she was very sincere.

From her expression and tone, Qin He could also feel that Shen Yuan did this without any selfish motives, and it was all out of compassion and sympathy for the victims.

He was once again impressed by this woman.

Shen Yuan didn't know Qin He's psychological changes. After the other party promised to help, a stone fell from her heart. She yawned and became a little drowsy.

Seeing this, Qin He said softly: "Go to sleep, it's very late. If you have anything to say, it's not too late to talk tomorrow."

"Well, then, Your Majesty, you should go to bed early. You must have been working very hard recently, and you need a good rest."

After saying that, Shen Yuan turned over neatly and fell asleep with her back to Qin He.

Qin He felt like he was being used up and thrown away. He stared at Shen Yuan's slender back and secretly gritted his teeth.

Sure enough, this woman cannot be praised!
Silent all night.

Before dawn the next day, Qin He went to court with the 5000 taels of silver notes that Shen Yuan gave him.

Shen Yuan, who was still asleep, didn't know that a big surprise was waiting for her.

The father-in-law who delivered the edict came to the Qin Mansion in Weichu. At that time, Shen Yuan was taking care of her few peonies in the back garden of Minglan Courtyard. When she heard that the edict was for her, she was completely stunned.

When she received the imperial edict in a daze, she couldn't believe that she had actually been awarded the fifth-grade imperial edict.

The origin of the matter was also clearly stated in the imperial edict. His Majesty praised her for her "noble character and benevolent heart. He also expressed gratitude for her dedication to the people of Huainan, and hereby commends her."

5000 taels of silver were exchanged for a fifth-grade Yiren, which I never dared to imagine in my wildest dreams.

As for the donation of 1 taels of silver written in the imperial edict, Shen Yuan guessed that Qin He had privately added an additional 5000 taels and donated it in her name.

Of course she would not be so stupid as to think that she could get this award based on her small contribution.

In addition to being the first woman to actively donate to the imperial court, she must have had a lot of credit from Qin He.

If he hadn't done his job well and been promoted to a fifth-grade official, he wouldn't have been granted a fifth-grade imperial edict.

The so-called honor of husband and wife of this era is vividly reflected at this moment.
