Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 54: Mother Qin


Ningxi jumped down before waiting for the carriage to stop, rushed in and saw that the door of the whole house was wide open, all the boxes, cages and cabinets in the house were opened, useless things were thrown on the ground, and A few people who looked like servants were rummaging through them, and when they saw that they were still useful, they put them away, and those that were useless were thrown aside.

Ning Xi grabbed a person casually: "Where is the owner of this house?"

The man pushed her away impatiently: "Who knows! Go, go, don't get in the way."

Ning Xi was so anxious that no one was willing to take care of her any more, for fear that the good things would be given to others after wasting time. Shed—empty shelf! It looks bright on the face, and is even poorer than a beggar in private.” Disgustingly, he threw a middle coat with frayed edges aside, and after thinking about it, he went over and picked it up again.” Take it back and use it as a rag."

"Can any of you tell me what happened here? Where did the Qin family go?" Ning Xi asked anxiously.

A lean man with a black mole on his nose glanced at her: "It goes without saying, go to hide your debts, didn't you see the big pool of red paint splashed on the door? You owe the casino's mark Money, I can’t repay the debt, what can I do if I don’t run away? Grandma’s, I ran away, and the search was so clean, not even a single hair was left.”

"Then you know where they're going?"

"Where else can I go, isn't it..." Having said that, the man with moles gave Ning Xi and Jun Qianyu a vigilant look, "Who are you, why should I tell you?"

As soon as Jun Qianyu raised his hand, there was an extra piece of shiny silver in his hand: "Just rely on this."

Black Mole's eyes lit up, he swallowed and said, "Master, you really asked the right person. Only I can know where the Qin family is." Then he reached out to pick up the silver.

Jun Qianyu ignored him, raised his hand, and said loudly, "Come here and tell me, whoever can tell the exact where the Qin family will live, the money will belong to whoever is."

Black Mole looked anxious: "The Qin family was originally from a rural household, but they moved to the city after they made a fortune. There is still an ancestral house in the countryside and a few acres of broken fields. In previous years, they would return to their hometown to worship their ancestors. If you can’t stay in the city, you will naturally go back to your hometown.”

Someone next to him interjected: "How is it possible that all the people in the Qin family are fools? Can you know where the Qin family's countryside is, and how can the people in the casino not know?"

"That is, I think he must have gone out of the city, maybe he went to the capital, that Qin Da used to brag in the market, always saying that he is the younger brother of some princess in the capital, and he must have traveled to the capital based on his past relationship. The autumn wind is gone."

Ning Xi suddenly looked up at Jun Qianyu: "Five masters, will they really go to the capital?"

Jun Qianyu shook his head: "As a person of Granny Qin, I will definitely not do this. If you really want to seek refuge in Beijing with the kindness of the old days, how can you wait until today."

"But there are so many people, where can I find it!"

Jun Qianyu said: "Don't worry, I'll have someone check it out. It won't take more than half a day, and I'll be able to find it." For Ningxi, it may be possible to find a few big living people. There was nothing he could do, but it was a trivial matter for him.

At this moment, a woman who had been standing far away without saying a word stepped forward and spoke with a little timidity: "This girl is so anxious, is it the old lady Qin who is looking for it? ?"

When Ning Xi heard this, she nodded again and again and said, "Yes, I'm looking for Granny Qin. Could it be that you know something, auntie?"

The woman rubbed her hands together and said, "The slave is the cook of the Qin family. She has been with Mrs. Qin since the Qin family first moved to Lezhou. It has been almost twenty years now, so she knows some old things from previous years."

Black Moe saw that the money in his hand was about to fly, and interrupted her rudely: "Master, don't believe her nonsense, I know the Qin family best, this Qin Er has an old friend in Yanhongfang, They couldn't leave the city gate overnight last night, so they must be hiding with his concubine."

Hearing Hei Mo's remarks being rude and rude, Ning Xi glared at him and pulled the woman aside: "Let's leave him alone, you continue to talk." Jun Qianyu snapped his fingers and kept following their driver to mention the black The mole's collar, only to hear a scream, the black mole was thrown out of the wall by the driver.

The woman continued: "Old Mrs. Qin originally had a daughter, but when she was not married eighteen years ago, she was designed by the two older brothers and almost gave it to their friends, so she had trouble with the two older brothers. She was very stiff, and after she got married, she completely cut off the relationship with the Qin family and never walked around, so many people didn't know that the Qin family once had a daughter who married out."

"Actually, this little sister Qin had secretly brought things to Mrs. Qin several times, and the slaves and maids saw it. Last night, the two brothers started to make trouble again, forcing Mrs. Qin to take the money, but over the years, Qin has The old lady's old coffin was already posted, and there was no money to be found, so she was forced to put the scissors around her neck, saying that if they made trouble again, they would simply die in front of them. Then the two brothers subsided, and then there was chaos again, and the two actually packed up and fled, leaving behind their 60-year-old mother."

Ning Xi said: "You mean they didn't take Granny Qin away? Then where is she now?"

The woman shook her head: "After the two brothers escaped, the rest of the people were too busy to take care of themselves, they were scattered and scattered, and the whole house was scattered overnight, and no one had time to take care of them. A half-dead old lady, there are old people and children in the servant's family, so naturally she can't spend any more time here. After thinking that she has worked in the Qin family for nearly 20 years, she still has to tell the old lady before leaving, but the old lady Not in the room, the servant searched the whole house and couldn't find it, only then did I know that the old lady was gone too."

"Where will Granny Qin go?"

"A few days ago, Mrs. Qin often wiped her tears secretly, saying that it was too outrageous for the two rebels to make trouble. Qin Xiaomei once proposed to take the old lady to live there, but the old lady thought that when she left, this family would It must be gone, after all, I still can't bear it, according to the slave maid, Mrs. Qin has completely lost her mind, go to Qin Xiaomei!"

"Where did Miss Qin marry?"

"I heard that she was married to Huangjia Village, but I don't know the specific family."

"It's easy to handle once we know the place. Let's go to Huangjiacun to find Qin Xiaomei?" Ningxi turned to Jun Qianyu and said the latter sentence.

The woman added: "Huangjia Village is not far away. Go out from the city gate and go west. It will take more than an hour to arrive. If the old lady left the city gate early in the morning, she would probably have just arrived by now. , Alas, the old lady is not in good health, she was still ill two days ago, and it was raining again, so I don't know if there will be any good or bad along the way."

Ningxi thanked the woman, took the money from Jun Qianyu's hand and stuffed it into her hand, and quickly got on the carriage, urging the driver to hurry up and go to Huangjia Village, but it has been raining for days and the village road is muddy , the carriage wasn't going fast, Ning Xi was anxious, he couldn't help raising the curtain, and looking out eagerly, he suddenly saw a small black spot in front of him, walking forward.

"Go and see, who is that person in front?" The carriage gradually approached, and the black spot became clearer. It turned out to be a rickety old woman, holding a black umbrella. She was still shivering, as if she would fall into the mud at any time.

Ningxi said loudly at the old woman, "Is the one in front of you, Granny Qin?"

The figure paused for a while, and the carriage quickly came to her, slowing down, and the gray-haired old woman under the black umbrella raised her head, her old eyes full of surprise: "How does the girl know the old body? ?"

Ning Xi was overjoyed: "It's really Granny Qin." He jumped out of the car, ignoring the yellow mud he smeared on his feet, and touched Granny Qin's hand, "Mother-in-law, we came to you specially, get in first. Let's talk about the car!"

Mother Qin was reluctant to get in the car: "Who are you?"

Ningxi knew she was worried, so she quickly told her: "Don't worry, we are not debt collectors, we are from the capital, does mother-in-law still remember Princess Qi?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing the three words of Princess Qi, Granny Qin grabbed Ning Xi's wrist and hurriedly asked, "Is the princess okay?"

Ningxi took the opportunity to get her into the car: "Let's get in the car and talk about it." Granny Qin was extremely thin, and Ningxi hardly dared to exert any force when holding her arm, for fear that it would break if she was not careful. A burst of sourness passed.

"Mother-in-law, your life is like this, why don't you go to the capital to find Princess Qi? I believe that the princess will not watch you suffer."

Granny Qin shook her head: "When the old man left, the Feng Mansion gave the old man enough rewards. If he is not satisfied, he is insatiable greed. These old people just hope that the princess can live a good life." /

Ning Xi sighed: "It's a pity that the princess is not doing well!"

Mother-in-law Qin became anxious again: "What's wrong with Yu'er?" As soon as she became anxious, she unconsciously said the baby name of Princess Qi, which was only quietly called in private in the past.

Ning Xi naturally knew that what she said about Yu'er was referring to the princess, but she was afraid of scaring the elderly by telling the princess's painful experience, so she chose lightly and said: "The princess has suffered from anorexia all these years, and she doesn't think about eating and drinking all day long. , can't eat, so we came to my mother-in-law specially, hoping to get her help."

Mother Qin's thin palm pinched Ning Xi's wrist to the point of pain: "My poor Yu'er, this, how can this be good?"

"I want to know, when Princess Wang was a child, did she have any special favorites to eat, or in other words, is there any kind of food that can evoke some particularly warm memories of her childhood?" Ning Xi endured the discomfort on her wrist, but instead Gently covered Granny Qin's hand with the other hand, soothing gently.

Mother Qin's body was trembling all the time. She lowered her head and pondered for a while. Suddenly her head fell forward and she fainted.
