I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!

When Qin Chi returned home, Song Jin was still sleeping soundly.

He went to the study again and was currently reading a letter, which was the "suicide note" from Yang Ge Lao that Song Jin brought from Huizhou.

In Qin Chi's opinion, this suicide note almost certainly confirmed that the former crown prince had escaped death. The masked man they saw earlier was most likely the former crown prince Helian Kai.

Now this person is targeting him.

Maybe he had disrupted Helian Kai's plans many times.

No, Helian Kai had targeted him before he ruined the other party's business. When he just became the top scholar, the other party attacked his wife. On the day of the top scholar parade that year, a group of bandits targeted Song Jin and planned to attack Song Jin. Helian Kai was the mastermind behind the scenes.

People like Helian Kai.

Giving an order is just a matter of words.

Perhaps Helian Kai has already forgotten about this incident, but Qin Chi will never forget it.

"Tuk-tuk."

There was a gentle knock on the study door.

Qin Chi put the letter down and said, "Come in."

With a creaky sound, the two doors were pushed open from the outside, and Song Jin came in holding a green twig porcelain bowl. He walked slowly to the table and placed the porcelain bowl in front of Qin Chi.

"The kitchen is cooking lily and lotus seed soup. Come and have a bowl, my husband."

Song Jin spoke gently.

Qin Chi smiled and stretched out his hand, pulling her to his side as she was about to leave. He then made her sit on his lap and put his arms around her. "My lady, do you want to eat with me?"

Song Jin blushed, "I haven't seen you for a while, and my husband has become a little different."

He became a lot more reckless.

Qin Chi rarely behaved like this before, and most of the time he was reserved and polite.

Qin Chi did not respond, as if he had not heard it.

He was not stupid and would not ask such a question. He just reached out and picked up the lily and lotus seed soup on the table.

The gentle sunlight shines through the window lattices.

It reflects a couple of people who are dependent on each other in the house.

The man was wearing a green gown and had gentle eyes, while the woman was wearing a light-colored skirt and had a shy blush on her face.

A bowl of ordinary lily and lotus seed soup.

It seems to be a symbol of the two people's emotions, hazy yet real.

Qin Chi gently scooped up a spoonful of soup and handed it to Song Jin, "Madam, let me try it. Is it hot enough to eat?"

Song Jin lowered her head slightly and dodged subconsciously.

She wanted to get up several times uncomfortably, but Qin Chi wouldn't let her.

The gentleman who was so polite outside was now pretending to be nonchalant and leisurely, teasing his wife to feed her, as if he had done this a thousand times.

Qin Chi asked again: "Do you think it's too hot?"

He put the spoon to his lips.

Gently blow away the rising hot air, and then send it into her mouth.

It’s hard to refuse such hospitality.

No, he was very persistent in feeding her.

Song Jin hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth and swallowed the lotus seed soup.

The sweetness and fragrance instantly spread between lips and teeth.

Then Qin Chi took a bite himself, swallowed it and praised: "Mm, sweet but not greasy, just like the taste of reuniting after we have been apart for a long time."

As soon as these words fell, Song Jin felt a surge of heat spreading from his heart to his limbs and then to his cheeks. It took him a long while to calm down. "Who did you learn these words from, my husband?"

"Do I still need to learn from others? This is a feeling that comes from the heart, it's sincere and genuine." Qin Chi's tone was extremely natural.

He started feeding again.

The couple took turns eating.

As the soup in the bowl gradually became less, the two of them grew closer and closer, until finally, their noses were almost touching as they shared the last spoonful of soup. The love was so strong that even the air seemed to become sweet. Each of their eyes was filled with the other's figure, gentle and bright.

"Squeak."

The half-open study door was suddenly pushed open.

The couple, who were standing very close to each other, suddenly came to their senses and looked towards the door. At first glance, they didn't see anyone outside. When they looked more closely, they saw a short and stocky little girl.

He was humming as he climbed over the threshold.

"Mother? Mother..."

Niu Niu got up to look for her mother, and heard from sister Xiaoyu that her mother had come to the study to look for her father, and didn't want her to disturb her, so she sneaked over to avoid being discovered by sister Xiaoyu.

Song Jin hurriedly got up from Qin Chi's legs.

Walk around the table and go out.

Qin Chi also stood up slowly, restored his usual gentlemanly demeanor, and also stood up and walked towards the mother and daughter.

At this time, Song Jin hugged Niuniu and asked, "Why are you here? Have you finished breakfast?"

"I'm done eating. I'm full."

Niu Niu also patted her round belly.

Song Jin was so touched by the little girl that her heart softened. She didn't even notice Qin Chi coming over. She was about to walk out holding Niuniu in her arms. Qin Chi reached out his hand and wanted to call him to stop.

Suddenly, he discovered something wrong.

When they had a child, the little attention his wife had originally paid to him was shifted to the child, as if the deep love between them just now had never existed.

Now the news about Qin Chi and Song Jin has spread in a small circle.

Some people in the capital had been paying attention to Qin Chi's movements.

As soon as Qin Chi asked for leave, someone immediately investigated the reason. They learned that Song Jin had brought his children from Huizhou to the capital, and something bad seemed to have happened. According to information from the government office, they encountered an ambush on the road near the capital.

The people of a whole village were also involved at that time.

This is no small matter.

A group of bandits went to great lengths to "kill" Qin Qian'an's wife and children.

The other party's original intention was to capture Song Jin and the child and bring them back to report.

But who actually knew this? The other party attacked again and again, and refused to let go. Not to mention Song Jin, even Qin Qi and other accompanying personnel thought that they were here to kill Qin Chi's wife and children.

Many officials from the six ministries discussed this matter.

"Qin Qi'an is such a hateful person."

An official lamented.

Another echoed, "That's right. Who has his luck? I heard that His Majesty has also rewarded him with a token, allowing him to enter the palace to see the emperor at any time."

"Is this true?"

"None of the pearls are as real as this one."

The others looked at the official who spoke.

Not many people knew about this matter, but this official had a famous relative working in the palace. When everyone looked at him, he knew he was talking too much and immediately shut up.

Xia Wei stretched out his hand and hooked the official, "Come here and tell me what's going on."

"Minister Xia." The official stepped forward flatteringly.

When Xia Wei asked him about it, the official could only say, "Didn't the East City cause quite a big commotion last time? Qin Shaoqing was responsible for that."

To put it bluntly, Emperor Mingcheng learned that Qin Shaoqing was almost assassinated by the Jinyiwei, so he threw a token as compensation. In fact, officials above the fourth rank were originally qualified to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

Having a token is a bit more convenient.

Its symbolic meaning is greater than its practical purpose.

Officials in the court were all speculating that the matter Qin Chi had exposed had not yet been resolved. Once the matter was investigated and rewards were given based on merit, Qin Chi's official position might even be promoted.
