The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

The next morning, Qin Huiyin returned to her boudoir, but found that Song Ruize was no longer in the room.

"Where is my son-in-law?" Qin Huiyin asked the servant in the yard.

The servant got up early and might have seen Song Ruize.

"Second Miss, my uncle and uncle went out early this morning. They said they had a lot of things to deal with today, so they might be a little busy."

The sequel to yesterday's abdication drama has not yet been completed, and they still have a lot of things to deal with, such as the civil and military officials of the Princess's party, the counselors and loyal servants of the Princess's mansion, and people related to the Princess, including Lady Minghua.

Over the next few days, the remnants of the princess's supporters were dealt with. Those who participated in the rebellion had their property confiscated and their families exterminated; men were beheaded and women enslaved. Those with less serious crimes were exiled. Suddenly, half the court was empty, and many positions had to be filled temporarily.

In addition to the verdict on the rebels, there are also rewards for meritorious officials.

For example, Shang Zimo saved the emperor and blocked a knife for the emperor. Now he has been promoted to deputy commander of the imperial guards.

Tang Yichen and Song Ruize also made contributions in this operation by cooperating with the prince to eliminate the eldest princess's lineage. Tang Yichen was promoted to Minister of Justice and Song Ruize was promoted to Censor of the Censorate.

In addition, there were some ministers who had made contributions, which could be said to be a major reshuffle, and the power division in the entire court had a new layout.

For a whole month, Song Ruize and Tang Yichen went out early and came back late, and were almost too busy to rest.

At such a busy time, the weather turned cold and the first snow fell heavily, as if to wash away the blood.

Qin Huiyin stood in the yard, stretching out her hand to welcome the arrival of snowflakes.

She was wearing a fox fur cloak and standing in the snow like a little jade ball, spreading her hands to catch the snowflakes.

Someone hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear, "Aren't you cold?"

Qin Huiyin turned around and threw herself into his arms, looking up at him: "I was a little cold, but I'm not cold anymore when you hold me."

Song Ruize put her cloak on her head.

"You came back a little early today." Qin Huiyin said, "Aren't you busy recently?"

"It's snowing, so I skipped my shift on purpose. You once said you wanted to enjoy the first snow of winter with me, and I can't break that promise."

Qin Huiyin looked at Song Ruize's head covered with snowflakes and smiled sweetly: "The snowflakes sprinkled on my head are like my hair turning white overnight, just like we have grown old together."

"That's not enough. We still have dozens more years to spend together. We will grow old together, but it will take a very long time." Song Ruize picked her up and said, "Okay, we can't stand here in the cold wind anymore. Let's go inside and drink tea while enjoying the snow."

"How is Lady Minghua?" Qin Huiyin asked.

"The eldest princess committed suicide on the night of the rebellion, only begging for the life of the Minghua County Master. She has now been demoted to a commoner."

"Will those people in the royal family let her go so easily? Although she is a woman, given the way they act, I'm afraid they will think that if you don't get rid of the root of the problem, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows."

"So, County Master Minghua can only die," Song Ruize said. "She is now a nun in a nunnery, and everything is under everyone's surveillance."

Qin Huiyin understood.

The incident had just happened, so it was impossible for Lady Minghua to escape unscathed. When the situation calmed down, Lady Minghua would have died. As for how she died, that depended on her own wishes.

This was someone else's business, so of course she wouldn't care. But when she mentioned it, she couldn't help but sigh for such a kind-hearted woman.

She had helped him before, and he wasn't an ungrateful person, so he sent her a stack of banknotes, which should be something she needed very much now.

"It's snowing today, let's go to the Tang Mansion and have hotpot with everyone!" Qin Huiyin asked Song Ruize for his opinion.

"it is good."

Song Ruize brought Qin Huiyin to Tang's house.

Tang Yichen had just returned and saw the two people getting out of the carriage. They stopped and waited for Qin Huiyin to come over.

"Brother." Qin Huiyin greeted with a smile.

"The weather is getting colder, so wear more clothes." Tang Yichen smiled.

"Don't worry." Qin Huiyin said, "On the contrary, you are wearing even less than me."

Song Ruize pulled Qin Huiyin and said to Tang Yichen, "It seems that today's case is very difficult, so Lord Tang has only just returned home."

Tang Yichen said unhappily, "When it comes to investigating cases, of course, Lord Song is more experienced. After all, Lord Song has the ability to make the dead speak."

Qin Huiyin stood between the two and stopped their quarrel: "Now we are home, there are no adults around, only my eldest brother and my husband, you two should be quiet."

"For Yinyin's sake, I won't bother with you today." After Tang Yichen finished speaking, he said to Qin Huiyin, "Yinyin, I'm going back to my room to change clothes and will come find you later."

"I came back specially to eat hot pot with you." Qin Huiyin said, "Come over early later."

As soon as Qin Huiyin came back, the Tang family became lively again. They cooked hot pot in the lobby, and the whole room was filled with the heat and aroma of the hot pot.

"It's been a long time since our house has been so complete," Li Taohua said. "You've all been busier than each other lately. You're all very busy."

"I was indeed a bit busy because of the eldest princess's affairs before, but now it has been almost resolved. Things should be better in the future." Song Ruize said.

"The New Year is coming soon. In order to prepare for the end of the year, there are still many things to deal with every day, but they are not as difficult as before." Tang Yichen said.

"You two are both capable people. We can't help you with the affairs of the court, but we can take care of your lives. By the way, Xiao'er has also been appreciated by the Queen Mother today. The children in our family are really more promising than each other." Li Taohua said.

Tang Dafu echoed from the side.

When the Tang family gathered together, a fire broke out in the Earl of Anping's Mansion.

The housekeeper came in from outside and said to the masters in the hall, "There's a fire on East Street. They say the Earl of Anping and his wife died in the fire."

Li Taohua frowned: "It's good to be dead, finally dead."

"Besides these two, where are the others?" Song Ruize asked.

"I heard the commotion outside and sent someone to investigate, and that's when I heard the news. As for the others, I haven't asked around yet."

"Mom, try this mutton. I prepared the seasoning myself, and it has absolutely no smell of mutton." Qin Huiyin picked up some food for Li Taohua.

"Okay." Li Taohua responded and said to the housekeeper, "You can go down! What's happening over there has nothing to do with us, so don't bother with it."

A flood in such heavy snow was definitely not an accident. As for the truth, it had nothing to do with her. She had long since stopped caring about the people and things there.
