The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Zhao Zhen just nodded. Seeing that Xiao Anzi kept talking about Song Zhirou, he felt a little impatient.

He knew his cousin well, and Zhao Zhen was also aware of her little thoughts. In Zhao Zhen's mind, Song Zhirou would be his woman sooner or later.

Men's psychology is so strange, even if he cares about the things that belong to him, he will not treat them wholeheartedly.

At this time, Zhao Zhen became curious about Qin Wan.

He coughed lightly, "No news from the eldest young lady's wife?"

Xiao Anzi realized that he had flattered the wrong person. He actually didn't pay much attention to Qin Wan's movements. "The eldest young lady locks herself in the yard every day and doesn't come out."

Zhao Zhen frowned, "You have been stuck in the yard for more than 20 days?"

Xiao Anzi remembered, "Oh, right, the servants in the mansion said that the eldest young lady was working as an ironworker in the yard all day, but I didn't go to see her."

Zhao Zhen was not very satisfied with Xiao Anzi, "Focus more on Cui Yuxuan in the future, understand?"

When Zhao Zhen wasn't looking, Xiao Anzi pouted and thought to himself: Who knew that your mind had changed!

Seeing that Xiao Anzi didn't answer, Zhao Zhen asked again, "Did you understand? Pay special attention to what's going on in Cui Yuxuan, and try not to let her and Rou'er have a conflict."

Zhao Zhen felt uneasy when he thought about the crossbow Qin Wan had prepared. His cousin was not easy to get along with. If a conflict came between the two of them, he was really afraid that Qin Wan would kill his cousin.

How did Xiao Anzi know Zhao Zhen's worries? "Don't worry, young master. The young lady and the cousin have already met. They were both very polite. Besides, the young lady is not jealous. A few days ago, the marquis' wife prepared a wedding for the young master and the cousin with great fanfare, and the young lady didn't even say a word of objection."

Xiao Anzi was a servant, but he also felt that the marquis's wife had gone too far. After all, his cousin was a concubine. How come the ceremony of taking a concubine was even more grand than the eldest son's wedding ceremony?

When Zhao Zhen heard Xiao Anzi say this, she was not very happy, but felt a little depressed.

"I want to take a concubine, but Qin has no reaction at all?"

Xiao Anzi was not married, nor did he have a girlfriend, so he was not very smart in this regard. He did not notice that Zhao Zhen's tone was not right. "Well, no reaction. The eldest young lady should still do what she should do!"

Zhao Zhen: “….”

Zhao Zhen felt uncomfortable, with a breath stuck in her chest that couldn't go up or down.

It happened that Xiao Anzi's handkerchief touched his wound, and he hissed, "Why are you so careless!"

Xiao Anzi: “........”

Zhao Zhen ignored the stunned Xiao Anzi and stood up from the bathtub. "Okay, stop wiping. Bring me your clothes!"

Xiao Anzi felt very strange. He felt that Zhao Zhen was a little difficult to please today.

"Yes, eldest son!"

After Zhao Zhen dressed himself up and re-bandaged the wound on his arm, he walked out of the yard.

Xiao Anzi followed behind him, "Master, are you going to Yiran Courtyard?"

It was Zhao Zhen’s habit in the past that she would go to see Song Zhirou first after coming back from outside. Song Zhirou was in poor health, and Zhao Zhen used to care about her very much.

Zhao Zhen paused, hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "Let's go to Cuiyuxuan!"

Xiao Anzi was a little dumbfounded again. He didn't know how to explain to his cousin that the eldest master was not going to Yiran Courtyard.

Xiao Anzi decided to accept fewer gifts from Chuncai in the future. The eldest master has become difficult to understand, and he dare not make blind promises anymore.

Zhao Zhen put his hands behind his back and walked towards Cuiyuxuan with big strides.

When they arrived at Cuiyuxuan, they were disappointed because Qin Wan had gone out and had not come back.

Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Wang looked at Zhao Zhen respectfully.

Zhao Zhen did not enter the inner room, but was attracted by the small shed in the yard.

He discovered that there was actually a small blacksmith shop in his home.

Although the blacksmith shop is small, it has all the tools, including hammers, pliers, etc. In the corner, there are also some small cylinders the size of a fingernail.

He picked one up and looked at it carefully, but didn't understand it.

"what is this?"

Mrs. Zhao took a closer look and shook her head, saying, "I don't know either. This is the eldest young lady's little toy. She enjoys smashing it every day."

Mrs. Wang added, "The eldest young lady is here. She can stay from morning to night, and she doesn't allow us to touch anything here."

Zhao Zhen frowned and carefully played with the small parts in his hand, muttering in his heart: This Qin family is really becoming more and more suspicious.

Thinking of Qin Wan's identity, Zhao Zhen's eyes became sharp again.

Is this Qin really Li Guozhu’s niece?

Following this line of thought, Zhao Zhen became more and more suspicious.

Zhao Zhen thought of Qin Wan's meagre dowry and the betrothal gift sent by the mansion. Li Guozhu did not bring back any dowry for Qin Wan.

Their Marquis' Mansion did not value the betrothal gift. He just felt that Li Guozhu's attitude towards his niece was worth further investigation.

In addition, he and Qin Wan did not consummate their marriage, and Li Guozhu did not care about Qin Wan's face and directly asked the maid to examine her body, which was also a great insult to Qin Wan.

Following this line of thought, Zhao Zhen felt more and more that the Qin Wan in front of her might be fake.

Thinking of Qin Wan setting up the crossbow, Zhao Zhen was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat!

He and his father were not at home. If Qin Wan went crazy, perhaps she was Li Guozhu's spy, then wouldn't the women in their family be in danger?

When Zhao Zhen thought of this, his face turned ashen.

It seems that in addition to guarding against Qin Wan, we also need to send people to Puchang County to investigate what kind of person Qin Wan was in the past.

Zhao Zhen was worried and was awakened by a question.

"Why are you here?" Qin Wan looked at Zhao Zhen holding the defective bullet and felt a little flustered.

At the same time, I was also upset with myself for not collecting the waste properly.

Zhao Zhen looked at Qin Wan, who was carrying a lot of bags, and did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Did you go out today?"

Qin Wan nodded, "Yeah, I went out for a while."

She stopped staring at the small iron case in Zhao Zhen's hand and ordered, "Uncle Zhang, help me take all the things to the warehouse."

Zhang Bing went to the warehouse with saltpeter, sulfur and other things.

Caihuan and Caiping also carried their things and followed Zhang Bing.

Zhao Zhen came up to Qin Wan, looked at the box in her arms, and guessed, "What's here?"

Qin Wan dodged for a moment, but Zhao Zhen's hand was quick and he took the box away directly.

After Zhao Zhen opened it, he found it was a repeating crossbow. "What a delicate repeating crossbow!"

Zhao Zhen discovered that this one was different from the one in the military camp. It was smaller and more suitable for women.

Qin Wan was anxious and immediately stepped forward to grab it, "Give it back to me."

Zhao Zhen took advantage of his height and lifted it up high again, and Qin Wan couldn't reach it at all.

Qin Wan had no choice but to jump up to grab it, but she didn't stand firmly when she landed and almost fell down.

Zhao Zhen's other hand subconsciously wrapped around Qin Wan's slender waist, and the two of them hugged each other.

"You...what are you doing?" a sharp female voice sounded.
