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

When Qin Wan arrived home with the basket of vegetables, the second wife came up to her immediately and said, "Awan, something happened outside. You came back late today."

Qin Wan did not hide it, "I met Cai Ping today, and she recognized my identity."

The second lady dropped the basket of vegetables she had just taken to the ground. Caiping was a house-born girl and had once served in the marquis's courtyard, so the second lady naturally knew her.

"How did you meet? Who did she tell your identity to?"

Zhao Rong and Uncle Zhao also heard Qin Wan's words and came over at this time, "Sister-in-law, that maid really revealed your identity."

Qin Wan nodded, "Yes, that Cai Ping must have betrayed me in order to save her own life. This place may not be safe in the future."

The Second Madam also frowned, "This is Cuiyuxuan, which is originally the residence of the Marquis. If you live here, Awan, it will also arouse suspicion."

At this time, Uncle Zhao asked a key question, "Did the Hu people believe it? Why did they let you come back?"

Qin Wan explained: "Qi Meng is not sure of my identity now, but he has set his sights on me. It will not be safe for you to be with me any longer."

After Qin Wan finished speaking, she glanced at the Second Madam and the two children, "Second Uncle, let's see whoever can escape now is the best!"

Uncle Zhao knew what Qin Wan meant. "Big brother's wife, we can't let you stay in the city alone. Besides, it will be difficult for us to escape. Besides, Master Xie was deliberately let go, and we have strict guards when we go out."

Zhao Rong nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, Brother Xie was deliberately let go by Langbu. My second uncle and I have no chance."

Uncle Zhao said, "After Master Xie left, our news spread. I believe that Big Brother and Da Lang will come to rescue us soon."

Qin Wan didn't hold out much hope, because the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Fourth Prince were fighting, so they had no troops to rescue Yanbei City.

Moreover, the geographical location of Yanbei City is also awkward. Between Yanbei City and Suitai City are Guanshicheng and Guyang City. Now, the area north of Suitai City has all been occupied by the Hu people.

Even if the Marquis of Zhenbei was willing to send troops to retake Yanbei City, it would cost a huge amount of manpower, and there would not be much significance in taking back the city.

Because they will be attacked from both sides by the Hu tribes on the border and Guan Shicheng's Hu people, Yanbei City will soon fall again.

Qin Wan did not voice her worries. She nodded and said, "It's okay to wait for news, but these days, you and uncle should take the children to live in the blacksmith shop instead of staying in Cuiyuxuan."

"Awan, what about you?" the second wife asked anxiously.

Qin Wan smiled and said, "Second Aunt, you are the ones in danger now. After all, I am still a Hu person now, and my neighbors all recognize me. Cai Ping's one-sided statement can't do anything to me, but if she sees you, we will all be stuck."

Uncle Zhao nodded, "The eldest daughter-in-law is right. We can't cause trouble for her."

The second lady did not hesitate, "Okay, then I will take the children to the blacksmith shop and hide there first."

"Well, Second Uncle and Third Brother, since you two don't plan to get out of the city, don't participate in the harvesting activities. I still have money on me, so our family should stay out of the public during this period."

"Sister-in-law, we all listen to you!"

Zhao Rong now realized that his sister-in-law was still very opinionated.

Qin Wan was satisfied. "After you leave, I won't live in Cuiyuxuan. I'll lock the door here and live in the small courtyard next door."

The second wife nodded quickly, "That's good!"

In order to open a small door to go out, Qin Wan chiseled a hole in the wall of the neighboring courtyard. Then she had to go through several winding paths before she could return to Cui Yuxuan in the Marquis' Mansion.

The gate she entered and exited every day was not on the same street as the former gate of the Marquis' Mansion.

The Marquis' Mansion is now occupied by a large Hu tribe, so it is certainly not a place for an orphan like Qin Wan to live in.

It's just that she blocked a corner of the mansion, so the courtyard could not be seen from inside the mansion.

Now that we have screen identification, this hidden place may not be so safe.

Qin Wan sent everyone away with a little ulterior motive.

Qin Wan didn't plan to keep Cai Ping and Qi Meng. She wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of them both.

She doesn't want to expose her abilities in front of the people in the Marquis' Mansion yet.

When it was getting dark, Uncle Zhao and his men quietly moved to the backyard of the blacksmith shop. They were already familiar with the routes and times of the Hu people's patrols. Moreover, they had lived in Yanbei City for many years and were extremely familiar with the road conditions.

Therefore, the journey was very smooth.

night.

Cai Ping's face was red and swollen, and she looked at the man on her with eyes full of disgust.

After meeting the man's gaze again, she immediately changed her expression, eyes full of admiration, "Sir, you are so heroic!"

Qi Meng turned over and touched Cai Ping's smooth back. "Are you really willing to guarantee it with your life?"

Cai Ping now hates Qin Wan. To be exact, she hates everyone who is alive.

"Sir, I am willing to guarantee with my life that the woman is the eldest young lady of the Marquis's Mansion. They really look exactly alike. And I suspect that the child in her belly is not a slave's, but must be our eldest son's!"

Qi Meng turned around and pinched Cai Ping's chin, "Your eldest master, you call her so affectionately! It seems that you are also attracted to Zhao Zhenna!"

The reason why Qi Meng changed his mind was because Cai Ping mentioned the child.

Qi Meng had an idea, that is, no matter whether Qin Wan was real or not, he planned to make her real.

An unfavored wife can be abandoned, but offspring are a big deal. He knows that the Han people attach great importance to offspring.

Cai Ping begged for mercy hastily, "Sir, I didn't, I didn't!"

The maids in the Marquis' Mansion all had some interest in Zhao Zhen, but Zhao Zhen had a cold face all day long and spent most of her time in the military camp. Even if the maids in the Marquis' Mansion wanted to show their affection, they had no chance.

Moreover, these maids believed that they were no match for Song Zhirou, so they kept their little thoughts to themselves.

Qi Meng had a good idea. He had just exerted a lot of energy and was also tired.

So he also released Cai Ping's chin, "Go away!"

Caiping hurriedly got off the bed, put on her clothes and went out.

Qi Meng is a very cautious person. He likes to sleep with beautiful women, but he will not spend the night with them because he is afraid of being killed in his sleep.

Cai Ping dragged her tired body back to the slave room.

The women imprisoned here are all young and beautiful, and they are all favored by Qi Meng.

When everyone saw Cai Ping coming back, they ignored her as they were already numb.

Cai Ping thought of Qin Wan and sneered, "We live in such humiliation, why are you an exception?"
