Chapter 25 County Princess
Prime Minister Qin probably won't be coming back tonight.
Li's side must be busy dealing with the old woman. It seems the old woman wasn't there just now, otherwise there would have been even more trouble.
After learning the situation on the way back to the Prime Minister's residence, the old lady probably couldn't hold back any longer.
As for Qin Mingyu, his complexion looked off when he came back. He's probably stabilizing his chaotic internal energy and spiritual power with that old bastard right now.
Therefore, after instructing Shuangling to keep an eye on Qingzhu Courtyard, Qin Wanyou slipped away to the treasure trove in Qin Xiang's courtyard after turning off the lights.
Qin Wanyou noticed that there was another box of jewelry, so she took out some unmarked silver and gold from the bottom, flipped through some ancient books, and seeing that it was getting late, slipped back to the courtyard.
As soon as she slipped back into the courtyard, she saw Aunt Wang crying at the door. "Qing Shuang, please inform her that I can see the Second Miss. Why hasn't our Shu Yu returned yet? What happened in the palace?"
Shuangling stopped Aunt Wang, "Aunt Wang, it's not that I don't want to help you, but Miss's injuries haven't fully healed, and she was exhausted after a long day. She collapsed as soon as she got back. Aunt, the eldest young lady and the Prime Minister are still in the palace, and we really don't know anything about Miss Shuyu's situation. Our young lady is the most innocent one."
“You can also ask Miss Manzhu, she should know, or Madam, Madam and the old lady must know the specifics.”
Aunt Wang still wanted to barge in.
Qin Wanyou opened the door in her pajamas, somewhat annoyed at being woken up. "Aunt Wang, I really don't know anything about the situation in the palace. Why don't you ask Manzhu or Mother?"
Shuangling immediately went to Qin Wanyou's side, "Miss, why did you come out?"
Then, remembering something, he bent down and apologized, "I'm sorry, I woke you up."
Aunt Wang also bowed to Qin Wanyou, "Second Miss, I'm sorry to bother you. I was just worried about Shuyu."
Qin Wanyou was genuinely angry, and her tone became more forceful, "Aunt Wang, even if you stand here all night, I still won't know exactly what happened in the palace. I wasn't with them at the time of the incident, so it's no use you coming to me."
Seeing that Qin Wanyou was truly angry, Aunt Wang apologized again and left Qingzhu Courtyard.
Qin Wanyou stared at Aunt Wang's departing figure and asked Shuangling, "How long has she been here?"
"For about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, I kept her out of the way, but she didn't come in."
Seeing Qin Wanyou staring intently at Aunt Wang, she asked, "Miss, is there a problem?"
"Come in and we'll talk," Qin Wanyou said, turning and going back into her room.
She took out an acupuncture book and a medical book and gave them to Shuangling, saying, "Aunt Wang was probably testing something just now. Be careful in the future."
“This servant will be careful,” Shuangling said, taking the book. “Is this for this servant?”
"Okay," Qin Wanyou instructed, "Study secretly and be careful not to let anyone find out. Hide the books well, and you can rebind them into other books. It would be best if you could memorize them as soon as possible."
Thinking of something, he said, "I will have someone make you a set of silver needles as soon as possible."
Shuangling immediately knelt down and expressed her gratitude sincerely, "Thank you, Miss. I will live up to your expectations and memorize it as soon as possible and study hard."
"But don't rush it. Take it one step at a time, learn the knowledge points. You've had a long day, go and rest first."
"Yes, then please get some rest, Miss."
After Shuangling finished speaking, she closed the door and went back to her room.
Qin Wanyou circulated her spiritual energy before lying down.
After leaving Qingzhu Courtyard, Aunt Wang did indeed come to Li's main courtyard.
But Li was still receiving 'instruction' in the old lady's courtyard, which led to her raising such a shameless daughter, and so on.
When they returned to the main courtyard, Aunt Wang had already left.
Granny Li informed Madam Li of what Aunt Wang had observed about Qin Wanyou: "Madam, Wang Li saw that the Second Miss had indeed gone to sleep after returning. When she was woken up, her complexion was not good, and she didn't seem to have recovered her martial arts skills."
Madam Li rubbed her temples, feeling exhausted and upset about Mingzhu's matter and being scolded by the old lady. "I know, you can go now. Notify me as soon as Master returns."
The next day at noon, Prime Minister Qin returned, but Qin Mingzhu and Qin Shuyu did not return with him.
Madam Qin and Aunt Wang hurriedly asked Prime Minister Qin what was going on, but Prime Minister Qin not only didn't say anything about the outcome, but didn't reveal a single word.
This made both Madam Li and Aunt Wang cry with anxiety, but Prime Minister Qin still didn't reveal a single detail.
In the afternoon, someone from the palace brought Xiao Cui into the palace, which startled Li Shi. Could it be that they had found out something?
Qin Wanyou actually went to the First Prince's residence and asked the steward to return the deposit token. However, the steward refused to return it, saying that the First Prince was not there and he did not know where the token was.
Okay, then don't come back. Just wait.
That evening, Qin Wanyou went to Yulingfang in the west of the city, gave Fengling silver and gold, and asked Uncle Li to forge a pair of silver needles. Uncle Li's blacksmith shop was doing well, and he had work to do every day.
Qin Wanyou was surprised that Feng Ling had taken over a restaurant and even recruited two twin sisters as partners.
After Feng Ling told Qin Wanyou about the twin sisters, Qin Wanyou asked Feng Ling to bring them over for a visit.
Summer Rain
"Summer Dew"
"Greetings, Miss." The two bowed to Qin Wanyou.
Qin Wanyou looked at the two identical, pretty and clever sisters in front of her and asked, "Why do you want to stay? You can use the money Feng Ling gave you to buy the restaurant to find a nice place to live."
The two paused for a moment, their faces showing some hesitation.
"Working together requires mutual trust. It's okay if you don't say anything, but I hope you won't do anything that harms everyone," Qin Wanyou reminded her.
The two sisters had a tough time. After the restaurant owner, who was also their godfather, died, the manager and the head chef took a bad look at the two girls. In the end, the two sisters had no choice but to sell the restaurant and prepare to run away.
However, when the restaurant was being sold, the buyer was also controlled by the manager and kept pushing down the price. Fortunately, Feng Ling came along.
After thinking for a while, Xia Yu was about to speak, but Xia Lu spoke first, "Actually, it's mainly because I'm stupid. I was framed by the former manager of our restaurant and lost a lot of money. We also need to use money to save people, so we want to stay and work to earn wages."
Seeing that her sister hadn't explained clearly, Xia Yu said, "Miss, it's mainly because we trusted the restaurant staff too much before, were too naive, and were unprepared, so we were taken advantage of. That's why we hesitated just now. We're not afraid of you laughing at us, Miss, but our godfather has secretly helped some orphans and widows in Xihua Lane before."
“Not long ago, a family’s child got sick and needed money for treatment. My sister and I took most of the money to treat the child. We saw that Sister Fengling was a very kind person, so we wanted to work for her and earn money.”
"West Flower Lane?" Qin Wanyou was unfamiliar with the area.
Xia Yu explained, "There are many poor families in Xihua Lane. Most of the women support their families by doing handicrafts, and there are also many orphans. However, the people there are very simple and kind. After they learned about our situation, they wanted to seek justice for us, but we stopped them in time. Because the shopkeeper had gotten close to a big shot, we couldn't afford to offend him at all. So, they secretly went to smash the doors of the shopkeeper's house and the chef's house at night."
"Do you know who the important person you've befriended is?" Qin Wanyou asked.
Both sisters shook their heads, "I don't know."
After learning more about the situation from the two, Qin Wanyou instructed the restaurant to close and to notify them when she had a plan. She then asked them to prepare to do something.
Two days later, Prime Minister Qin, Qin Mingzhu, and Qin Shuyu returned, bringing with them the results.
As expected, Xiao Cui was executed for plotting against her master.
The Emperor also issued an edict, bestowing Qin Mingzhu and Li Jingyu upon the eldest prince as concubines;
Qin Shuyu and the guard fell in love and were betrothed, with the guard ordered to choose a date to marry Qin Shuyu.
However, the guard was dismissed from his post, and the Prime Minister of Qin was also fined half a year's salary for failing to properly educate his daughter. Of course, this salary was nothing to the Prime Minister of Qin; what he cared about was his reputation.
However, Qin Mingzhu and Qin Shuyu were not satisfied with the imperial decree. They were so angry when they heard the eunuch's words that they almost fainted.
Qin Wanyou received an imperial edict, bestowing upon her the title of County Princess and granting her a fiefdom.
Qin Wanyou didn't care about being a county princess or anything like that, but she did like the idea of having a fiefdom.
