Chapter 375 Making a fuss
Qin Huiyin looked at him seriously: "It is precisely because I am smart and beautiful that I don't need to rely on men. The feelings I want must be pure. If I can't find someone who is wholeheartedly devoted to me, I will be a free and easy person. I am good-looking, and I am the one who is happy, not the man. Brother, it is not good for you to have such an idea. Whether it is my mother or me, we are not people who can't live without men."
Tang Yichen pressed his eyebrows and said, "You are such a worrying girl. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. When you have such an idea, tell me. I won't bother with your business now."
Qin Huiyin walked behind Tang Yichen, put her hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother is really understanding. Brother, you should get some rest early. I'll go to the Song residence to take a look."
Tang Yichen smiled faintly: "Brother is very understanding, but I wonder if the one from the Song family is also so understanding. If you are reluctant to find a husband for a long time, will he be able to be so patient?"
Qin Huiyin suddenly realized the downside of having two older brothers. Having one more brother meant more pressure, and if the whole family started urging her to get married, she would be in big trouble.
Being pressured into marriage at fifteen is so perverted. In her previous life, at least after she turned twenty-five, people would nag her endlessly. If she still didn't want to get married by thirty, people around her would start to get really anxious and nervous. Now, a fifteen-year-old girl is being pressured into marriage, and two years later, she's being pressured into having a baby, and by the time she's thirty, she'll be a grandmother.
Qin Huiyin shuddered.
She doesn't want to live this kind of life.
When Qin Huiyin went to the Song residence, Song Ruize had not returned yet. She found that the lantern at the door of the Song residence was broken, so she called the servants and asked them to replace it with a new lantern so that Song Ruize would not be unable to see the way when he returned.
When Song Ruize came back, he saw Qin Huiyin standing at the door directing the servants to change the lanterns.
"A little higher, to the left... yes, that's it." Qin Huiyin said, "Pay attention to the lanterns at the door in the future. If they break, you need to replace them with new ones."
Qin Huiyin heard the sound of horse hooves and looked back to see Song Ruize getting off the horse and handing the reins to the follower beside him.
"Brother is back." She went to greet him.
Song Ruize reached out and grabbed her hand, cupping it in his palm and said with a frown, "Just leave this little thing to them. What are you doing standing here in the wind? Your hands are frozen."
"The weather isn't too cold, and I wanted to wait for you here." Qin Huiyin said, "I asked someone to make a small hot pot, and you can eat it when you come back."
When Song Ruize saw Qin Huiyin appear, he knew that Tang Yichen's injury was almost healed and he would be able to return to the yamen to do his work soon.
In addition, the matter of Bingmasi should have spread. She must have heard about it and was worried about him, so she came here so late to wait for him to come back.
Song Ruize and Qin Huiyin were eating hot pot, and neither of them mentioned the matter of Bingmasi.
Qin Huiyin had been observing Song Ruize's expression and found that he was quite calm and had no negative emotions. She didn't understand officialdom, but judging by his expression, he must be at ease.
Her memory of the original novel was no longer of any use to him and Tang Yichen. They had already departed from the original plot, and every step they took now was their own choice.
The brother and sister had a small hot pot and chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Song Ruize had been feeling a bit annoyed, but now his annoyance was completely gone. He lay in bed, his mind racing. Something he hadn't been able to figure out before suddenly became clear.
Sure enough, as long as you are in a good mood, all problems are not problems.
In fact, this situation is easy to break.
Yang Xing has some backers, but his backers can also become a knife stabbing him.
The next day, Song Ruize stood in front of the window, looking at Qin Huiyin who was sleeping soundly with a soft pillow in her arms, a smile flashed in his eyes.
The maid came over and saw him standing there, and she quickly bowed.
"Don't disturb the young lady's rest. She can sleep as long as she wants."
"Yes."
Song Ruize returned to the military headquarters.
Jiang Qibin and the others were all exhausted after a sleepless night, but he was the only one who was full of energy and looked even more capable than usual.
"Brother Ze, Yang Xing is out of danger and won't die, but he's clamoring for the entire East City Army to pay the price. We'll definitely be punished by the higher-ups next."
They used to say they would enjoy the best of the best in the capital, but once they arrived, they discovered it was a den of dangers and dangers. They couldn't get as comfortable here as they did in their small county town. Back there, they had the financial resources, good relationships with officials, and connections everywhere, allowing them to wield their influence. Here, they were just minions.
"What's the rush?" Song Ruize said, "I want all the information about Yang Xing, as well as Yang Xing's two deputy commanders, and important news about Yang Xing's backers, the Yang family, in recent years."
"Brother Ze means..."
"If Yang Xing commits a crime, something bigger and more serious than Chen Yong breaking his head, the Yang family behind Yang Xing won't be able to protect him, and their own family might even be implicated. Do you think he'll become a discarded child?"
An abandoned child has become a cancer in the Yang family. When the time comes, it will be his backers who want to get rid of him, not them.
"Yes, we've been thinking about how to rescue Chen Yong, but Yang Xing won't let go of him, and even our East City Military Division. We have no way of rescuing Chen Yong with our limited resources. If the problem lies with Yang Xing, how can this bastard still keep on chasing Chen Yong when he's already busy with his own affairs? We've spent so much money and energy organizing our intelligence network just to keep track of the movements of the major forces in the capital. If we don't use it now, when will we use it?" Jiang Qingnan said, "I'll get their information right away."
"No wonder Brother Ze wasn't panicking at all. It turns out he's already thought of a solution."
"Although the Yang family is a low-ranking aristocratic family, dealing with low-ranking officials like us, who came from commoner backgrounds, is as easy as crushing an ant. Now it's time to let them taste the pain of being bitten by an ant."
Qin Huiyin is taking care of the top-quality peony in the garden.
Peonies are delicate and can easily die if not carefully cared for. She recently consulted several experienced flower growers and tried hard to learn how to care for them, but they were still dying.
When Xia Ruwan came in, Qin Huiyin was surprised. She looked at her and said, "What a rare guest! I haven't seen you here for several days. Why did you think of coming to see me today?"
"Our silk and satin business is getting worse day by day. A few days ago, I went to Beijing to meet with some spinning masters. I just developed a batch of new products, but they detained them. They said they had contaminated my goods with banned substances." Xia Ruwan said angrily, "I sent people to make arrangements, but the Maritime Customs took the money but didn't do anything. They're holding onto my goods."
