Chapter 341

Chapter 341

After Empress Wei found out that Qin Jiu was her younger sister's biological daughter, Qin Zening hurriedly went to Jiangyu County to investigate everything thoroughly.

So not only did Empress Wei know how Li Jinzhu and his wife abused Qin Jiu but also knew that they were going to marry her to a foolish man, surnamed Xu!

At that time, Li Jinzhu and his wife fled from the country after killing someone, and the government issued a sea arrest document to catch them. The Xu family did not know about Qin Jiu's family background and only went to the Li family to propose marriage. And since they did not force the marriage, Empress Wei wasn't really angry with the Xu family and showed them kindness.

However, unexpectedly, her kindness left Qin Jiu with this hidden danger!

This world was inherently unfair to women, even if the world knows that Qin Jiu was not at fault, once such a thing breaks out, the person who would be criticized and gossiped by others was still Qin Jiu.

Empress Wei slightly narrowed her eyes, and a strange light flashed at the bottom as she said, "Xiao Jiu, this matter..."

"Empress Aunt, I'll go back and take a look first." Qin Jiu interrupted her with a smile, looking calm and collected, not worried at all, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

How could Empress Wei feel at ease, she wished she could go to the emperor now and have him issue an order to arrest and punish all those unscrupulous people who dare to violate Qin Jiu's reputation and integrity!

"Auntie," said Qin Jiu said calmly, "since this matter has already come out, it is not good to suppress it by force, it will only make people talk about it."

Empress Wei pursed her lips tightly, thinking her niece's words were indeed reasonable.

The more the things were hidden, the easier it was to attract criticism.

Qin Jiu smiled and said, "With you here, if I'm wrong, it will be the same as they wrong you too."

With that, she even winked at Empress Wei, signaling that she was great!

This girl... Empress Wei sighed silently and compromised, but she wouldn't let Qin Jiu go back alone, so she instructed Xu momo to go out of the palace with Qin Jiu, and if there was anything wrong, she would immediately come back and report to her.

Empress Wei specifically reminded Qin Jiu, "Your elder brother and Pei Qi from the Five Cities Army and Horse Division are very close."

It means that if Qin Jiu was unable to handle it, she could ask the Five Cities Army and Horse Division to arrest the person first, and after that, Empress Wei would ask the emperor for an order. Empress Wei was certain that the emperor would not care about such trivial matters.

Qin Jiu responded with a smile.

She immediately left the palace with Xu momo and returned to the Qin mansion.

As soon as the carriage turned into Huasheng Street, a sharp noise could be heard from a distance ahead.

"...our family Jinpeng is engaged to the second girl of the Li family, now that Li Erya* has the glory and wealth, she wants to abandon her husband's family?"

(*second girl of the family)

"Everyone, you come and judge!"

"Our Xu family has a letter of the bride price, even if Li Erya has now changed her surname to Qin, she cannot deny it."

"..."

Xu momo frowned and advised, "Third Miss Qin, I think it's better to lock these people in first!"

The Qin family's head has gone to war, and currently the Qin family now only has the Third Young Miss Qin and the fifth young master, there was no one with suitable status who could come forward. It's not proper for a girl alone to go and argue with others on this kind of matter.

"No need." Qin Jiu remained unflustered, and that calm look made Xu momo's heart inexplicably ease down.

"Let's go." Qin Jiu instructed, and the carriage slowly moved forward again.

At this moment, Huansheng Street was crowded with many passersby watching the excitement, the coachman had to shout for them to make way, and it took a lot of effort to push through the crowd.

Qin Jiu lifted the curtain on one side of the carriage and at a glance, she saw a woman in blue clothes who was over forty years old and a square face young man around seventeen or eighteen years old standing in front of the gate of the Qin mansion. The square-faced young man held his right hand in his mouth, and drool came out from the corner of his mouth as he giggled silly, while the woman in blue folded both of her hands on her waist as she yelled ferociously.

Qin Zeyu was tightly clenching his fist as he furiously confronted the mother and son, suppressing his anger.

The woman in blue clothes patted the square face young man on the back, and pointed at the gate of the Qin mansion then urged, "Jinpeng, hurry up and call your wife out!"

"Wife, wife!"

Xu Jinpeng yell following his mother's wishes while yelling and giggling, his neckline was already soaked with drool slipping from the corner of his mouth.

Qin Zeyu endured for a while and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Who is your wife!"

He roared and rushed over, punching Xu Jinpeng hard in the face.

Xu Jinpeng was confused and cried out with a "wah".

"My Jinpeng!" The woman in blue was startled, she shouted as she rushed forward to protect her son.
