When Qin Da went to the He family, someone immediately reported to Zhao Yuanqing, "Princess, Qin Da and He Chanling are out."

"Okay, Meng Jiu, let's set off right away."

"Yes."

Zhao Yuanqing took Meng Jiu and Wen Qian and followed Qin Da's carriage to the horse farm.

Among all the people present, Zhao Yuanqing was the person with the highest status, so everyone came to pay their respects to her. Naturally, Zhao Yuanqing met Qin Zhongwu, Qin Da and He Chanling.

Qin Zhongwu was a tall and strong man. Unlike his children and grandchildren who looked like weak scholars, he looked more like a warrior.

His behavior was impeccable. After greeting Zhao Yuanqing, he stepped aside.

After he went down, Zhao Yuanqing frowned slightly. Her Dragon God Orb under her collar was getting hot. This had never happened before. What happened?

In order to verify it, Zhao Yuanqing called Qin Zhongwu back and exchanged a few words with him. Sure enough, the closer Qin Zhongwu got to her, the hotter the Dragon God Orb became.

Zhao Yuanqing looked Qin Zhongwu up and down, and his eyes fell on his hands. Qin Zhongwu was wearing four or five rings on his hands, some with rubies, some with sapphires, and some with plain rings.

Could it be that Qin Zhongwu also has something similar to the Dragon God Orb?

Qin Zhongwu unconsciously put down his hand, and his sleeve dropped down, covering the ring on his hand. Zhao Yuanqing was very familiar with this action. He noticed it, and it seemed that there was something fishy going on.

After a while, He Chanling came over with sweat on her forehead and said happily, "Princess, why are you here?"

"I'm bored, so I come here to play."

Qin Zhongwu, who was watching them from a distance, frowned and asked Qin Da, "Second Brother, are the young lady from the He family and Princess Shanzhen very familiar with each other?"

"I don't know either, but He Chanling has been in the northwest before, so she probably isn't very familiar with the place. Grandfather, you don't understand these women. They may seem cheerful on the surface, but they're actually filled with hatred in their hearts."

"Yeah, too."

Qin Zhongwu shook his head, and the doubts in his heart disappeared. Princess Shanzhen had high standards, so why would she care about a little daughter of General Wuwei?

Zhao Yuanqing asked He Chanling, "Is this the person you are engaged to?"

"Yes, princess."

"What do you think of him? Is he to your liking?"

He Chanling glanced at Qin Da, who smiled at her. He blushed, "That's great. He took the initiative to take me horseback riding today. He's very thoughtful about many things. He's much better than those old-fashioned scholars."

With a handsome face, gentleness and thoughtfulness, such a young man can most impress a cheerful girl like He Chanling.

Zhao Yuanqing nodded, "That's good, go and have fun."

With her encouragement, He Chanling became bolder and rode a few more laps. Her nature was completely released, and her clear shouts and silver bell-like laughter resounded throughout the horse farm.

Qin Zhongwu couldn't help but look at her. The more he looked, the hotter his eyes became. In order to hide his emotions, he narrowed his eyes into slits, but his shaking head betrayed him. Wherever He Chanling rode, his eyes followed.

Zhao Yuanqing saw it clearly. She snorted coldly, "Shameless old thing!"

The matter is very clear. Qin Zhongwu has taken a fancy to He Chanling, so he asked Qin Da to get engaged to He Chanling. After He Chanling marries into the Qin family, he will probably use various means to forcibly take her away.

What kind of fate does He Chanling have? She was a widow all her life in her previous life, and now she has found a den of wolves. How can the He family be so picky? They let them pick all the bad ones.

Zhao Yuanqing shook his head again. No, once was a coincidence, but twice was not. There was definitely something wrong with the He family.

Half an hour later, Qin Da escorted He Chanling back, and Qin Zhongwu followed behind.

Zhao Yuanqing returned to the mansion and called Feng Yan back. "How has Qin Zhongwu's eldest grandson's wife been these past two days?"

"Her daughter is sick and hasn't been to Qin Zhongwu's place these past two days."

This matter must be dealt with quickly, and the eldest grandson's wife is the best entry point. Her weakness is her children. She certainly doesn't want her children to live in such a family.

"Meng Jiu, do you think Qin Zhongwu has any kung fu skills?"

"It doesn't look like it, but the body is stronger."

"That's good. Take two people with Feng Yan and go to the Qin family tonight to get Qin Zhongwu's eldest grandson's wife out. Be careful not to be discovered."

"Yes."

Meng Jiu brought two people with good martial arts skills, asked Wen Qian for a packet of knockout drugs, and went to Qin's house at midnight.

Feng Yan prepared the way, and they arrived at the small courtyard in the third entrance. He knocked the woman in the west wing unconscious, put her in a bag, carried her out, and brought her to Zhao Yuanqing.

Meng Jiu wiped the woman's face with a wet cloth. She woke up with a moan and then screamed, "Ah——!"

Meng Jiu shouted, "Shut up!"

The woman screamed even louder, and even rolled and crawled back a little, "You, you, you, who are you?"

Zhao Yuanqing said, "Do you know me?"

The woman shook her head. "I don't know her."

Meng Jiu said, "This is Princess Shanzhen, who was personally conferred by His Majesty."

The woman opened her eyes wide. "Princess Shanzhen? Are you really Princess Shanzhen?"

Zhao Yuanqing nodded, "Yes."

The woman looked around, then at Zhao Yuanqing's clothes, and believed it. She burst into tears, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Princess Shanzhen, please, save me, I can't hold on any longer!"

Next, without Zhao Yuanqing asking, the woman spilled the beans and told him everything.

The woman's name is Zhong Yanhua. She is the wife of Qin Rui, the eldest grandson of Qin Zhongwu. She is 25 years old and has a four-year-old daughter.

Zhong Yanhua didn't know why she appeared in the princess's mansion, but she knew that this was her only chance to save herself and her daughter.

"Princess, the Qin family are all crazy and beasts!"

On the surface, the Qin family is ruled by the master Qin Qihai, but in reality, it is the old grandfather Qin Zhongwu who controls the entire family.

When Zhong Yanhua first married into the Qin family, she followed her parents' teachings and was filial to the elders of the Qin family. Therefore, as soon as she entered the door, she regarded Qin Zhongwu as a kind old man and treated him like her own grandfather.

But as time went on, Zhong Yanhua felt something was wrong. The look Qin Zhongwu gave her really made her sick and vaguely uncomfortable. An idea came to her mind, but she didn't dare tell anyone.

Therefore, Zhong Yanhua reduced the number of times she went to see Qin Zhongwu. She would not go if she could avoid it. Even if she had to go, she would dress very low-key and try not to attract his attention.

But Qin Rui seemed unaware of it and even blamed her for being disrespectful to her grandfather and for asking her to take care of Qin Zhongwu when he was sick.

Of course Zhong Yanhua refused to go. She and Qin Rui had their first argument. "There are so many servants at home. Besides, there are differences between men and women. Why should I, a granddaughter-in-law, serve them? I won't go!"

This sentence seemed to touch Qin Rui's reverse scale. He flew into a rage and slapped Zhong Yanhua several times, forcing her to go and threatening her with his daughter.

Zhong Yanhua's daughter was her weak spot, so she had no choice but to go. As she expected, Qin Zhongwu did not have good intentions.

What made people even more desperate was that not long after, she was knocked unconscious by a bowl of tea, and when she woke up again, Qin Zhongwu was lying beside her.

Having said this, Zhong Yanhua began to tremble all over, fell to the ground, and cried in humiliation.

Meng Jiu squatted down and held her hand, and she cried even more sadly.
