Opening wedding night: the delicate heroine is pregnant

Shen Xingzhou didn't come back until late at night.

He quietly washed up in the bathroom of the apartment on the second floor, and then tiptoed into bed.

Just as he went in and lay down, Qin Feixue woke up. She rubbed her head against his arms and asked in a daze, "Why did you come back so late?"

As she rubbed against him, she smelled the scent of soil. She raised her little head and muttered, "Are we going treasure hunting?"

Shen Xingzhou pressed her back into his arms again, and gently stroked her furry head: "Are you a puppy? Your nose is so sharp."

Qin Feixue was almost awake in an instant. She was a little excited, and her voice was much clearer. She asked quietly in the quilt: "Did you really go treasure hunting? Where did you go? What did you find?"

Shen Xingzhou laughed indulgently: "The old house of the Xu family, but it's not dug, it's hidden."

The Xu family has been making things difficult for them, so they have to find a way to fight back.

They didn't know any dirty tricks, so they simply gave the other person a taste of his own medicine, learning the same trick Xu Qi used to harm people in the past, burying things in the ground and then having someone report them to dig them out.

Send him in.

"Is there any need to hide things in his yard?" Qin Feixue blinked.

With the power of the Xu family, there must be something at home, just like the Shen family. It would be strange if there was nothing.

Shen Xingzhou nodded, and the hand that was on her head just now began to move down and wander around her body.

He buried his head in the crook of her neck, breathing in the scent of her body.

"We can't dig up the groundwater like they did last time. In order to hit the target right away, we gave them some."

It's true that every family has some stuff, but what if they hid it somewhere else and didn't bury it in the yard?

It's always better to be cautious, just in case.

"But he can find a way to get away with just this, right?" Qin Feixue asked.

Xu Qi is a very cunning person. When the time comes, he will forge the ownership of the things to make them registered, and then use his connections to clear himself.

Or he could simply say that this thing does not belong to his Xu family. The Xu family's old house is so big that the entire four-courtyard house is divided into three parts. The head of the Xu family lives in the main house, occupying two courtyards, and the remaining two courtyards are occupied by other families.

You can completely push the responsibility away.

Shen Xingzhou smiled, his grandfather had thought of this a long time ago.

He looked up and kissed Qin Feixue on the head, then told her some things from the past.

In order to prevent Xu Qi from escaping, they sent a special gift to Xu's yard.

Actually, that gift was Xu Qi's own fault, and returning it to him now can be considered retribution.

Xu Qi's father once had a very good old friend. The two families did business together, participated in the revolution together, and later donated property together and entered officialdom together. They had a very good relationship.

But later, Mr. Xu passed away suddenly. At that time, Xu Qi was only fifteen years old and was in school. The other members of the Xu family had also just entered officialdom and it was a time when they needed to manage relationships.

Although their old friends, the Xie family, helped the Xu children in many ways, their help was limited to their daily lives.

Because some of the Xie family's own children also entered officialdom, the family had limited resources, so they must focus on their own younger generations.

In this way, the exchanges between the two families gradually decreased, their relationship became increasingly distant, and a gap arose.

Later, the Xu family stood up in less than two years by relying on their ruthlessness. Xu Qi also reported the Xie family at the first opportunity, causing them to fall apart.

The Xie family died or dispersed, and Mr. Xie also passed away on the same day.

Qin Feixue was surprised and said, "What kind of gap can destroy a person's entire family and make it seem like a blood feud."

Shen Xingzhou shook his head: "I don't know. The Xie family and the Xu family never mentioned it, and outsiders don't know the specific reason."

"So he buried something in the Xie family yard and ruined the entire family? How did Mr. Xie die?"

At that time, someone reported that the Xie family was betraying the country and aiding the enemy, and the evidence was the large amount of imperial currency in the Xie family's yard.

But when the things were dug out, a large number of people rushed in, wanting to eliminate the traitors to the motherland in the name of justice.

But Mr. Xie was old, and that group of people acted without restraint. By the time the Xie family members squeezed in and pulled the people away, Mr. Xie was already unconscious.

He didn't even leave a last word.

Without any defense, all the charges were put on the Xie family.

Thus, the era of the Xie family came to an end, and they disappeared from Kyoto and were forgotten.

"Did Xu Qi bury all these things?"

Shen Xingzhou shook his head: "The Xie family hid the things themselves. They admitted it themselves, but they don't admit to the crime of collaborating with the enemy."

Qin Feixue understood that this matter could be a big deal or a small one, but eight or nine years ago, it was still a special period, and if she said something, she could use it as evidence to kill the other party.

"Are you planning to learn from Xu Qi?" Qin Feixue frowned. Xu Qi was so smart and good at adapting to circumstances. Wasn't this plan too simple?

Moreover, the two families agreed to "live in harmony" for the next three years.

Shen Xingzhou smiled. Of course they had thought of this as well.

"If we don't do it ourselves, it won't be considered a breach of contract."

"Ah? Then who will do it?" Qin Feixue was puzzled.

I think no one would be willing to offend the Xu family in order to curry favor with the Shen family.

If it succeeds, it's fine. But if it fails, then it's all over.

"At that time, in order to make the story more real and to make everyone believe it, Xu Qi told the details of how the Xie family aided the enemy."

"And in order to prove his loyalty to the organization, he admitted on the spot that he had written the letter of accusation. Because he and the Xie family were old friends, he was unable to sleep or eat after knowing this. He wanted to conceal it for the Xie family, but he couldn't get over it, so he killed his own family for the sake of justice."

That's true, but the money dug out from the ground cannot completely convict the Xie family. The Xie family will definitely not admit it and will find a way to extricate the family from this matter, but it is inevitable that the family will suffer a serious loss.

But as long as they stay in Kyoto for one day, they will have a chance to get up.

To drive them away completely, we need a fire, and Xu Qi is that fire.

The Xie family's glorious reputation will be ruined, and their descendants will never be able to hold their heads up.

Shen Xingzhou twisted Qin Feixue's hair with his fingers again and again: "It's not like Xu Qi is the only one who can tell stories."

"Now, the Xie family will stand up and re-enact the story of that year."

Qin Feixue smiled with satisfaction. Every wrong has its perpetrator and this matter between the Xie and Xu families has nothing to do with the Shen family.

It has nothing to do with the agreement between the Shen and Xu families.

She thought about the day when Shen Tingyu didn't come back even though they were discussing such an important matter as wild ginseng, and now she guessed where she was.

"Who is the one that my aunt is looking for?"

Shen Xingzhou pinched her little face: "So smart."
