My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

"Did you see it clearly?" Wen Qiqi looked at Qin Yu, and Qin Yu nodded.

"Although he lowered his head deliberately, I still felt that he looked familiar. Later, when Feng Jin and I left, he raised his head. I followed my aunt over here, and I saw his face out of the corner of my eye."

Qin Yu's eyes were burning: "Aunt, I was really shocked! Lan Baoer, the popular girl around the Queen Mother, is actually someone we all know."

Wen Qiqi was stunned: "We all know each other... Could it be the child of a former servant of the Wen Mansion?"

Qin Yu shook his head.

"It's my aunt's so-called adopted son in the Lu Mansion!"

"what?"

Wen Qiqi was really shocked!

"You mean, the blue Baoer beside the Queen Mother is Lu Xingcheng? Are you sure?"

"I'm not mistaken. I've seen him before in the Wen Mansion, and I was particularly impressed by him at the Sixth Princess' birthday party. There was a lot of resentment in his eyes, and he had the air of a mean person!"

Qin Yu's mother is the daughter of the Wen family. She has liked honest and generous people since she was a child. Even if Lu Xingcheng did not have any hidden illness, Qin Yu would not like him.

In Qin Yu's eyes, Lu Xingcheng and Pei Fengjin, the son of Marquis Jing'an, are simply incomparable.

Wen Qiqi knew that Qin Yu was a prudent and cautious child and would never speak nonsense.

"I see. No wonder the Queen Mother suddenly became suspicious of me. It turns out that Lu Xingcheng whispered something in the Queen Mother's ear."

"Auntie..."

Qin Yu paused worriedly and said, "I came to the palace today to pay my respects to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. I can't stay long and will leave with Feng Jin in a while."

"Lu Xingcheng hates my aunt so much that he no longer cares about the kindness he showed me when he raised me! Now he is by the Queen Mother's side. I am worried about my aunt's safety and I really don't want to leave her alone in the palace."

Qin Yu said this, quickly wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Wen Qiqi took out a handkerchief and wiped Qin Yu's wet eyes.

"You are already getting married, so you can cry if you want to. But that won't work. When you arrive at Jing'an Marquis's mansion, you will be the young lady, the mistress of a mansion. You must be gentle on the outside but strong on the inside."

Qin Yu nodded: "Don't worry, auntie, mother has already taught me. Besides, the wife of Jing'an Marquis is also famous for her virtue, she will definitely not embarrass me."

"That's good."

Wen Qiqi looked at Qin Yu and smiled with relief.

In this life, her most beloved niece finally did not jump into the fire pit of the Lu Mansion because of her.

"As for the things in the palace, you don't have to worry. Now that I know who Lan Bao'er is, my aunt has taken precautions, and I also roughly understand why the Queen Mother trusts him so much."

It stands to reason that, given the affection that the Empress Dowager shared with the Wen Mansion, she would never easily believe the slander of a little eunuch.

Even if Lu Xingcheng tried his best to climb up, he could at most have a place in the Cining Palace.

How could the Empress Dowager make such a fuss?

"He was awarded a house a few days ago. He must have made great contributions." Wen Qiqi raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Yu'er, go back today and tell us the identity of Lan Bao'er in the Wen Mansion, and then let your mother explain this matter to the Fourteenth Prince."

"I remember."

Qin Yu could not stay in the palace for too long, so after bidding farewell to Wen Qiqi again, she left the Cining Palace with Pei Fengjin, the son of Marquis Jing'an.

Besides, after seeing Qin Yu and Pei Fengjin, the son of Marquis Jing'an, Lu Xingcheng was so angry that he kicked and beat the two eunuchs who followed him, but he still couldn't feel relieved.

"Qin Yu, if your aunt hadn't interfered, you would have been mine. So what if you have a hidden illness? I, Lu Xingcheng, have talent and wealth, and I am worthy of you, a daughter of a merchant."

Although Qin Yu's father was not an official in the court, he was well-known in the capital. He was extremely shrewd and had a kind heart.

The flood this year was severe, and the Qin family contributed money and manpower, which allowed the business in the capital to continue as usual, and the people of the capital can also get free porridge and rice every day!

These were all paid for by the Qin family out of their own pockets!

Even the emperor was full of praise for her character and ability. Out of gratitude, he personally arranged a marriage between Qin Yu and Pei Fengjin, the son of Marquis Jing'an.

But Lu Xingcheng kept calling her a merchant's daughter!

When people are extremely inferior, they will develop blind self-confidence that they themselves are unable to detect.

Lu Xingcheng became a eunuch in Cining Palace today, watching his beloved happily standing beside Pei Fengjin, the son of Marquis Jing'an...

He felt as if his face was being trampled underfoot, and his hatred for Wen Qiqi rapidly increased by more than ten times.

Wen Qiqi, the Queen Mother must listen to the Emperor. Even if she imprisoned you, she could not do anything to you. But whether you can walk out of the Forbidden City alive is indeed up to me, Lu Xingcheng, and the King of Hell.

At ten o'clock in the evening, someone came and brought Wen Qiqi four dishes and a soup.

Wen Qiqi put the written scripture aside and looked at the eunuch who was delivering the food. Seeing that he did not leave immediately, she suddenly became suspicious.

"Are you not leaving yet? Stay and eat with me?" Wen Qiqi picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of wild mushroom and put it into his mouth.

The young eunuch hurriedly said, "I left in a hurry just now, and my son is distracted now, so I'm leaving now." After saying that, he quickly turned around and left.

Wen Qiqi watched him walk away, quickly spat out the wild mushrooms in his mouth, and quickly drank water to rinse his mouth.

She didn't dare eat a single bite of these four dishes.

No matter how hungry I am tonight, I have to endure it.

When the eunuch came to collect the plates, someone had already replaced him.

There were a total of about ten eunuchs in the Cining Palace. Qiqi was imprisoned here and felt unfamiliar with all of them.

"The food tasted good tonight, so I ate a little more." Wen Qiqi pretended to be casual and said to the eunuch who was collecting the plates.

The young eunuch nodded and said, "Tonight's meal was specially prepared for you by the small kitchen, so it tastes better. Wild mushrooms are delicious, and they are stewed with ham and chicken, so the soup is also full of flavor."

Wen Qiqi saw that the young eunuch's expression didn't change at all, and guessed that he must be unaware of the situation.

"Are you new here?"

"I've been here for more than a month. I'm just learning how to do things from my master."

"I remember now, it seems like you were the one who delivered my meals for the past three days?" She paused and continued, "But it didn't seem like you were the one who delivered the meals today."

The young eunuch panicked.

"Good girl, don't worry about it. No matter who brings it to you, just eat it."

Wen Qiqi pretended to be angry: "That won't work. If you don't explain clearly, I will just think you are just fooling around."

The young eunuch said aggrievedly: "I have been in the palace for a short time, so I can only serve you. Don't be angry, you would not have lived in a proud master if you lived here, and I can't get any oil or water from serving you."

Wen Qiqi nodded in mock sympathy: "So? You just find someone to deliver it for you?"

It seems that this little eunuch is undoubtedly the scapegoat.

"I didn't dare to do that at first. Don't be angry, young lady. But since I entered the palace, I haven't gained much benefit. My master, Lan Baoer, felt sorry for me, and today he got a good job, so he took me with him."

Wen Qiqi's guess has come true.
