Shi Ce replied, "My Lord, according to my investigation, the eldest young lady in the mansion is Li Guozhu's niece. The portrait has been shown to others and there is no mistake."

Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and then asked, "What was Qin's personality like before? How did the Li family treat her?"

"Master, the eldest young lady is also living under someone else's roof in the Li family. Lieutenant General Li is away all year round, and his wife Liu is only nice to the eldest young lady when Lieutenant General comes back. On other days, the eldest young lady is almost like a maid.

Therefore, the eldest young lady's wife has a quiet temperament and rarely speaks. "

Zhao Zhen didn't expect Qin Wan to live like this before. He asked angrily, "Then Li Guozhu doesn't know what happened to her?"

Shi Ce also investigated very clearly this time, "Liu is good at superficial work, Lieutenant General may not know, and Lieutenant General Li also needs the help of Liu's father.

As for the eldest young lady's biological parents, my subordinates have also found out that her father's name is Qin Yuanlin, and the two brothers Qin Yuanlin and Qin Yuanshan used to run a blacksmith shop.

Eight years ago, Qin Yuanlin and his two brothers died in the war, and the eldest lady was taken in by Lieutenant General Li to live in the Li family.

The blacksmith shop is now run by Qin Yuanshan’s two sons.”

Zhao Zhen had never expected that Qin Wan's ancestors were blacksmiths. "No wonder! Blacksmithing is really a family tradition!"

Zhao Zhen muttered something and continued to ask, "Is there any other news?"

Shi Ce nodded, "I heard that when Lieutenant General Li proposed the marriage, Liu Shi did not agree to the eldest young master's wife. She wanted to marry her niece from her mother's family to the eldest young master, but Lieutenant General Li did not agree."

Zhao Zhen thought of the current Lord Liu from the Ministry of War. He felt that if his father knew that this was the candidate, he might be willing to accept it.

"Besides this, is there anything else?"

Shi Ce shook his head, "No more."

Zhao Zhen stood up and said, "Okay, I know about this, you can go down first!"

"Yes, eldest son!"

Before Shi Ce could even leave the house, he was stopped again.

"If the Marquis asks, I can tell you everything else, but there's no need to reveal the matter of Liu's niece."

Although Shi Ce didn't understand the reason, he still nodded, "Yes, Master, I will remember it."

After Shi Ce left, Zhao Zhen carefully pondered Qin Wan's background. She no longer had any doubts she had before.

The Qin family's ancestors were all blacksmiths, so it's no wonder that they're tinkering with these things all day long.

Thinking of Li Guozhu's attitude that day, Zhao Zhen felt that he had misunderstood. Since Li Guozhu wanted to cooperate with the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, he must send someone who was related to him by blood, and would not send an irrelevant person.

After Zhao Zhen's suspicions dissipated, he was in the mood to hold a wedding. Although he was taking a concubine, the one he married was his beloved cousin.

Zhao Zhen was still happy.

Jade Pavilion.

Qin Wan was in a good mood because she had gained something.

All the previous bullets became defective products, but now she finally made five successfully, and she treasures them very much.

Qin Wan stretched lazily. She felt tired lately.

"Ah, this body is really too weak. It seems I need to exercise more in the future."

Qin Wan sewed a holster for herself and tied it around her thigh. It was a very small holster, and because she was wearing a skirt, it was well hidden.

Qin Wan pushed open the door and asked, "Cai Huan? Did you get your lunch back?"

Cai Ping came out of the servants' room and said, "Madam, Cai Huan hasn't come back yet. I'll go out and check on her!"

Qin Wan touched her stomach. She felt particularly hungry lately. It had been more than a month since she came here, but she felt that this body had not become stronger at all. It did not have the same strong motor nerves as hers in modern times.

"Okay, go and urge her. I'm a little hungry."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Caiping ran out quickly.

Mrs. Zhao was watching Qin Wan from a distance. She had been in this courtyard for quite some time, almost a month, but she hadn't seen Qin Wan changing her clothes, so she began to have a suspicion.

But seeing Qin Wan working as a blacksmith every day, he became undecided.

She didn't know whether the news was true or not, but Mrs. Zhao didn't tell anyone.

First, no one asked her about it, and second, she didn't hate Qin Wan.

If someone gives her a benefit, she might reveal it.

Soon, Cai Huan and Cai Ping came in. "Madam, I'm afraid you've been waiting for a long time. I was delayed on the road today."

Qin Wan became interested. She had nothing to do anyway, so she asked curiously, "Oh? What happened?"

Cai Huan did not hide it, "I met Xiao Anzi on the way back. He inexplicably emphasized that the eldest son would take a concubine the day after tomorrow. We already knew about this, but he emphasized it on purpose. It's really strange."

"Who is Xiao Anzi?" Qin Wan asked.

"Xiao Anzi is the young master's assistant." Cai Ping interrupted.

Qin Wan nodded, "Okay, forget it, what dishes do you have today?"

Cai Huan took out the dishes one by one, "Madam, there is fish soup today. It is so delicious. On the way back, I smelled the fragrance and wanted to buy some, but I was delayed by Xiao Anzi."

Caihuan complained as she skillfully picked vegetables for Qin Wan.

They already liked eating this way, so they took out Qin Wan's dishes in advance.

Qin Wan also liked to drink fish soup. She took the spoon and took a sip to try it out. Unexpectedly, her stomach churned as soon as she put it in her mouth.

Qin Wan covered her mouth and hurried to the yard to vomit.

After spitting out some acid, she felt better.

Caihuan and Caiping were both unmarried girls, so they didn't think much about it. "Madam, this fish soup doesn't taste good. Why did you vomit?"

Qin Wan didn't think much about it, "This fish soup is not good, it's too fishy. If you can drink it, take it all away!"

Cai Ping took a sip and said, "It doesn't taste fishy, it tastes great!"

Everything the three people did in the room was heard by Mrs. Wang.

After getting the confirmation, Mrs. Wang left Cuiyuxuan in a hurry without stopping.

Mrs. Zhao saw Mrs. Wang leaving in secret, gritted her teeth, and secretly followed behind her.

Yiran Courtyard.

Song Zhirou was trying on clothes. She looked at herself in the bronze mirror and sighed, "What a pity that I can't wear red."

The two maids, Chunshan and Chuncai, were beside her and did not dare to respond.

Fortunately, Song Zhirou didn't think about replying to the maids. The matter had already been settled, and she could only endure it now.

At this time, Mother Song walked in hurriedly, "Miss, Mrs. Wang is here."

"Oh? What's the matter with her?"

"Mrs. Wang wants to say it in front of the young lady."

Song Zhirou thought of the person that Wang Po was serving now, and ordered, "Please invite her in!"

After Wang Po came in, she politely bowed to Song Zhirou. After being called, she did not dare to stand up straight and replied carefully: "Cousin, I have something important to report."

Song Zhirou said calmly: "Just tell me what you have to say!"

Mrs. Wang rubbed her hands together and said, "Cousin, this news is very important to you."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was unwilling to speak directly, Song Zhirou still had something she didn't understand, "Mother Song, go get a purse."
