The Crown Prince Chases His Wife

Chapter 4: smash the field

Approaching Xiyuan, there are intermittent piano sounds, mixed with the chatter and laughter of girls from time to time, which is very lively.

Qin Yan stopped, turned around, and looked at Zhang Quan, as if asking.

Zhang Quan was evasive:

"Today, I will read Miss and the wedding ceremony. After the ceremony, I will hold a banquet for the young ladies who are watching the ceremony in the garden. Why don't the eldest miss come over after the banquet is over?"

Qin Yan's voice was cold,

"If I remember correctly, this garden belongs to my mother, why do you want me to avoid it?"

Zhang Quan opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Looking at the stance of the eldest lady, the visitor is not good.

Qin Yan turned around and walked into the garden, where Xi Garden was full of luxuriant flowers and plants. The begonias in the garden are in full bloom, with bright colors and graceful posture. A gust of soft wind blows, flying flowers blowing, and the fragrant fragrance that comes with the wind is refreshing.

In the meantime, Qin Yan recalled those warm times in the garden with his mother in the past.

After passing through a rock, the voices of the girls gradually became clearer.

"Today, the red-gold hollowed-out inlaid jade inlaid head and face that Concubine Shu sent to her. The work is meticulous and complicated. It must have come from the supervisor of the young mansion in the palace. Concubine Shu really values ​​Nian Nian!"

"My aunt's love, and remember our nephews and nephews." Qin Nian was wearing a lake blue dress with flowers and smoke, and his face was beautiful and bright.

"Didn't you say that the young lady of Yongding Hou's mansion is coming to the banquet? It's all over, why haven't you seen anyone yet?"

"Miss Xie sent someone to tell her that she was sick and couldn't come."

"Hey, Nian Nian, I heard that Yongding Hou's Mansion and your Right Prime Minister's Mansion must have a marriage relationship?"

Qin Nian lowered his head and said nothing, shy and timid.

What I didn't know was that she thought it was Qin Nian who was engaged to the prince of Yongding Houfu.

"Xie Shizi came from a prominent background and is a talented person. Now he is in charge of the Beiya Imperial Army. He really has a bright future. This is a marriage. I don't know how many girls in Beijing will break their hearts!"

"I heard that Xie Shizi hid a little beauty in the mansion?"

"I've seen it once. She's pretty and pretty, but unfortunately she's a little family."

"This person who was brought into the Hou Mansion without a name and no points is at most a concubine, and he can't get on the stage."

The person who said this was Du Ling, the second daughter of the household servant who had just entered Beijing with her father. The Qin Nian she was holding, her mother was just an aunt, and the scene was awkward for a while.

------

The voice got farther and farther, Qin Yan did not have the habit of listening to the corner, and chose another secluded road. He turned around a rockery, walked across the veranda, and walked towards his mother's Qiushuiyuan.

Zhang Quan sensed Qin Nian's intentions, stepped forward quickly, blocked Qin Yan's way, and hesitated.

Qin Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhang Quan with a tangled face. She had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Say."

Zhang Quan said hesitantly:

"Mrs. Song lives in Qiushuiyuan, the eldest miss wants to go there, Rong Xiao will pass the information first."

Qin Yan thought to himself, sure enough.

But this is not just the Qin Mansion, it is also the mother's dowry garden, and there is no room for others to occupy the magpie's nest.

Zhang Quan thought of something and added:

"A few days ago, Mrs. Song arranged to clean up Lanyuexuan, and the eldest lady can go to rest first."

"Lan Yuexuan? I can't go to my mother's yard, and I can't even go to my own yard?" Qin Nianfeng narrowed his eyes.

Zhang Quan never imagined that talking to this seventeen-year-old girl would be stressful.

"Mrs. Song is not in good health, so Master Xiang asked Miss Nian to live in Yanyu Pavilion so that she can accompany her easily..." Zhang Quan said angrily.

It turned out that Song Mei lived in her mother's Qiushuiyuan, while Song Mei's daughter Qin Nian lived in her own Yanyu Pavilion.

"Mrs. Song? Song Mei?" Qin Yan's voice was slightly deep.

Zhang Quan wanted to be afraid of what to do, and these should not have been said by him as a servant. Since Concubine Song took charge of the family and replaced a number of servants, everyone in the house called Concubine Song Madam Song. Although it was unreasonable, Master Xiang and the old lady also acquiesced.

Qin Yan sighed,

"Go to the lotus pond." He walked away.

Zhang Quan hesitated a little when he heard the words, but he still followed.

------

The lotus pond not far from Qiushuiyuan was originally a shallow pond. In the midsummer when they were young, Qin Yan and his mother used to play in the water and fish here.

But under this unremarkable pond is the warehouse of Xiyuan, and the entrance is in the rockery beside the pond. When Shen Changshan, the Duke of Zhenguo ordered people to build this Xiyuan, he prepared this warehouse to store Shen Shiying's dowry.

Based on his memory, Qin Yan walked to the location of the lotus pond, but there was only a locked room, and there were still shadows of rockeries and ponds. Qin Yan wondered if his memory was wrong.

"What's the matter?" Qin Yan asked Zhang Quan with a frown.

Zhang Quan said hesitantly:

"Master Xiang said that the bottom of the pool was too wet, so he ordered the warehouse to be moved up..."

The warehouse was built at the bottom of the pool to prevent outside thieves. The stone gate at the rockery can only be opened with a special key. There is only one key. It used to be in Shen Shiying's hands, but now it's in Qin Yan's hands.

Could it be that Qin Xiang couldn't open the door, drained the pool, and cut open the warehouse?

In addition to jewelry, there are also land deeds, house deeds, and antique calligraphy and paintings. The grandfather ordered the warehouse to be treated with special moisture-proof treatment, and it has never been wet in those years.

Too wet? This reason is high-sounding, it seems that it is difficult to prevent thieves.

"No wonder Uncle Huai said that there was a problem with Madam's shop and asked the master to come to the warehouse to get the land deed..." Shen Ying said angrily.

"Shen Ying!"

Qin Yan cut off Shen Ying's words.

Qin Yan closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her father's appearance was too ugly, and now she can only think about it in the long run.

------

On the way out of the garden, I passed the garden where Qin Nian held a banquet, and from time to time I heard a few chats from the ladies.

"Niannian, your mother-in-law has been missing for so many years, and she is still not mourning? A dead person, who has no place in the name of Mrs. Xiangfu. Otherwise, not to mention the two princes in the palace, you are also worthy of His Royal Highness. It's worth it, those few aren't even Concubine yet..."

"Don't talk nonsense. Since my mother's disappearance, my mother and I have been chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall every day, hoping that the Bodhisattva will bless my mother's return." Qin Nian seemed displeased.

"I heard that Mrs. Qin was attacked and disappeared back then. If she was kidnapped by the thieves, even if she could come back, I'm afraid she would bring back some younger brothers and sisters for you, Nian Nian."

"As long as the mother-in-law can come back, no matter what happens, we will accept her." Qin Nian's voice was sad.

Qin Yan thought that in the past few years, in the Northwest battlefield, it was difficult for anything to arouse his emotions. Never thought that in this inner courtyard of the boudoir, a few fluttering words would arouse her killing intent.

With a chill, Qin Yan stepped into the garden.

While wondering the identity of this strange woman who suddenly appeared, the ladies of the official family were also shocked by the woman's breathtaking beauty.

"Shen Ying."

Shen Ying has endured for too long since she entered the Qin Mansion, and after being instructed by her master, she can finally do it. Taking a few steps forward, a heavy slap hit the woman who was talking to Qin Nian just now.

With a scream, all the ladies and maids exclaimed and all got up and left the table.

Shen Ying's palms trembled slightly when she heard Qin Yan speak again,

"And that Miss Nian."

Under the shock of everyone, another slap in the face was slapped on Qin Nian's face.

Qin Nian was slapped to the ground by Shen Ying's strong slap, blood on the corner of his lips, and with tears in his eyes, he looked at Qin Yan who was looking down at her in disbelief.

Qin Yan stepped forward slowly, squatted down, pinched Qin Nian's tender chin with one hand, and said coldly,

"Let's talk about the prince! Talk about the mother-in-law! Did Prime Minister Qin not teach you, or Concubine Song didn't teach you? Today, my eldest sister, I will set a rule for you, lest it be said that our prime minister's residence is uneducated."

"You..." His jaw was pinched so hard that Qin Nian's pronunciation was difficult.

Qin Yan let go, got up and took the silk handkerchief handed over by Shen Ying, carefully wiped his slender fingers, and threw the handkerchief on the ground at will.

The young ladies of each family left in a hurry with their maids for fear of harming themselves.

------

Concubine Song, who was in the Qiushuiyuan at the moment, couldn't contain her excitement. Since Shen Ying made a scene in front of the prime minister's residence, the servant girl who was sent to keep an eye on her had already relayed the news of Qin Yan's return to the residence.

She used to have to be small in front of Shen Shiying, but now is different, Shen Shiying's daughter will fall into her hands one day.

If this girl follows her mother's violent temper, it's just right, let the young ladies who come to the mansion today see what kind of virtue this daughter of the prime minister's mansion is.

The maid ran back in a panic, shouting that Miss Nian had been beaten.

Song Mei hurriedly overturned the teacup in her hand, ignoring the robes soaked by the hot tea, supported by the maid, and hurriedly walked towards the garden where the banquet was held.

Here Zhang Quan saw that the scene was out of control, and immediately left the garden and went straight to the old lady's Rong'an Hall.

Xiangye was not in the mansion, the eldest lady and Mrs. Song were not at odds with each other, and only the old lady could control the scene.

When Song Mei arrived in a hurry, she saw her daughter who was supported by the maid and sat back on the chair, covering her face with one hand. She rushed over and pushed the maid away, hugged Qin Nian, and saw Lao Gao's left face swollen under Qin Nian's fingers, Song Mei couldn't help but feel the pain.

"Which one who doesn't have long eyes dares to run wild in the prime minister's residence!" Song Mei asked sharply.

She turned her head to look at Qin Yan, but was shocked by Qin Yan's face like Shen Shiying's. The memories suppressed by Shen Shiying in those years came back to her heart, and the resentment in her heart was even greater.

Qin Yan lamented Song Mei's change. When Qin Yan saw her parents' farce, she already remembered it. Song Mei, a girl from Jiangnan, who was a weak Liu Fufeng at the time, was very gentle, and was more favored by her father than her mother, who was born in Jiangmen, was a flamboyant mother.

Now that Aunt Song gave birth to the only son for Qin Xiang, she had the confidence to be the mistress of the house.

"Which one is this big frame?" Shen Ying sneered with her arms around her.

The servant girl beside Song Mei raised her voice,

"Bold, how dare to disrespect Mrs. Xiangfu!"

This time, Qin Yan didn't need to speak. Shen Ying took two steps to push the maid who had just spoken into the rose bush next to her, and suddenly a shrill scream came out.

"Presumptuous!" Song Mei thought that Qin Yan was rude, but she didn't expect that the woman in black beside her had such a high force value. It was inconvenient to call a guard in this inner courtyard, but Song Mei was a little panicked.

"My mother has not been in the mansion for many years, who is this posing as the lady of the prime minister's mansion?" Qin Yan said leisurely.

"It turned out to be Yan'er. If there is any misunderstanding, please tell me. Why did you do it as soon as you came back? I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain when the prime minister comes back." Song Mei continued to pretend to be stupid and stunned, but did not forget to bring out Qin's intention to deter Qin Yan.

"This is Auntie Song? Speaking of which, I have to call Auntie Song, sir... I just heard that Auntie Song arranged for me to live in Lanyuexuan. I seem to remember that when Auntie Song was my teacher, she also lived in Lanyuexuan. After a period of time?"

Song Mei embarrassed and really wanted to get into the crack of the ground. When Qin Yan was born, she was brought into Qin Mansion by the old lady as Mr. Xi Xi.

Everyone who knew about those things at the time was driven to Zhuangzi by her, and now everyone in the house respects her so much, I didn't expect Qin Yanzui to be so quick and turn over the old accounts.

At this time, Mama Rong, who was beside the old lady, led a group of servants and maids into the garden. Mama Rong copied her hands, stood on the stone steps outside the garden, and said loudly:

"The old lady invites Miss Qin Yan to the ancestral hall!"

Qin Yan curled her lips into a cold smile. Looking at this situation, is she going to **** her to kneel in the ancestral hall?

It's the same thing again. In those years, my mother couldn't bear it for the ridiculous love, swallowed her grievances, and I don't know how many nights she spent in the ancestral hall. Now she, Qin Yan, is not that interested in playing tricks of the back house with them!

Song Mei sneered in her heart, she wanted to see how this little girl ended up?
