Empress Dowager Jing's illness came and went quickly, and within a few days she was able to get out of bed and walk with the help of the palace maids. This made Emperor Yuanhe and others uneasy. They were worried that her illness would relapse, so they simply asked the imperial doctor to

They take turns guarding Yongning Palace.

Qin Xiaoxiao also had this worry, so she did not leave Beijing and return to Qingshan Village. From time to time she was ordered to enter the palace to accompany Queen Mother Jing. For this reason, she had some gadgets made and brought to the palace to relieve Queen Mother Jing's boredom.

It wasn't until half a month later that Queen Mother Jing's body returned to normal and the things she worried about didn't happen, that everyone finally felt relieved.

July is in full swing, the weather is getting colder, and some good news has reached Qin Xiaoxiao one after another.

First, Sanbao won the first place in the government examination and became a child student. As long as he does not miss the college examination next February, even if his performance is not satisfactory, he will be a proper scholar.

The second is that Dabao is engaged. When he suddenly came back last month, the first thing he did was to urge Qinchuan and Zhao Caoer to propose marriage to him. It turned out that he had his sights on a girl and decided to marry her.

This girl was the cousin of a friend who was doing business with him. She was not pretty in appearance, but had a particularly interesting temperament. He was gradually attracted to this girl.

Qinchuan and Zhao Caoer secretly visited the girl. When he came back, he put down his work in the fields and hurriedly invited a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, as if he was afraid that Dabao would regret it.

Just at the beginning of this month, the two families officially got married, and as expected they had a grand ceremony at the end of the year.

This good news was brought by Lin Qiuniang of Qinshan who came to Beijing to visit Qin Xiaoxiao. After hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao was really happy for her eldest brother: "It's great. I will finally have a sister-in-law. I will definitely give it to my eldest brother and sister-in-law when the time comes."

Prepare a generous gift!"

Lin Qiuniang smiled and said, "That's right. Your eldest brother treats you very well. The hairpin you wore when you got married was all made by him."

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded: "I remember all the good things my eldest brother has done to me. Even if there is no such thing as Chai Guan, my relationship with him has not been fake since we were young."

Qin Shan liked the harmony between their brothers and sisters, and said happily: "In the future, your mother and I will be gone, and with your eldest brother, sister-in-law, you won't have no one to entertain you when you return to your mother's house."

Qin Xiaoxiao could not hear these words, and said sadly: "Dad, I don't allow you to say these unlucky words!"

Lin Qiuniang also stared at her husband dissatisfied: "You are deliberately making yourself uncomfortable by saying such depressing words in a good life, right?"

What Qin Shan told was the truth. Seeing that his wife and daughter were not willing to listen, he slapped himself in the mouth and changed his words again and again: "I won't tell you anymore, I won't tell you anymore. I'm still pointing out that I will live a long life and take care of my grandchildren and great-grandchildren."

These words successfully made the mother and daughter laugh, and they no longer cared about what he had said before.

"By the way, has Sister Qingqing's matter been resolved? The Hu family didn't force her to get engaged to a man named Wang, right?" Qin Xiaoxiao thought of something she had always worried about and asked her parents quickly.

The couple looked at each other and then at their daughter, not knowing what to say.

When Qin Xiaoxiao saw this, she couldn't help but worry: "Father, mother, could it be that the Hu family has forced Sister Qingqing to get engaged to a man named Wang?"

Lin Qiuniang said quickly: "No, no, Qingqing disagreed and refused to let the Hu family succeed!"

When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay if you don't. I read a lot of books. It's more like men are born to like men. It's impossible to like women after getting married. If Sister Qingqing closed her eyes

If you get married, you won't have a good life."

After saying that, she noticed that her parents' faces were wrong, and her heart started to rise again: "Mom, dad, is there anything else?"

Lin Qiuniang hesitated for a moment and then said carefully: "Xiaoxiao, I told you not to be angry, let alone run back to cause trouble for Hu Biantou and the others."

Qin Xiaoxiao's expression changed drastically: "What did they do again?"

A look of disgust appeared on Lin Qiuniang's face: "They forced Qingqing and Wang to get engaged, and even threatened Qingqing to reveal all the things she couldn't reveal to others. I didn't expect that people who came to visit would hear about this.

, there was an uproar in the village, Qingqing's reputation was completely ruined by them, and she almost couldn't survive..."

Hu Biantou and Fang Dazui were patriarchal and had never liked Hu Qingqing, their granddaughter. In their view, Hu Qingqing was a fairly valuable item that could be exchanged for a betrothal gift to give their precious grandson a wife.

Although under the conditions of the Hu family, there is no need to do this.

This time they fell in love with Mr. Wang. Even though they knew that Mr. Wang liked men, they still wanted to force Hu Qingqing to marry him. They just thought that Mr. Wang was from a good background and having such a grandson-in-law would make them look good and help them in the future.

Six pounds of this precious grandson.

From beginning to end, they didn't think about Hu Qingqing at all.

"How dare they do this? Is this something done by humans?" Qin Xiaoxiao was furious and regretted not going to Hu's house to warn those three dogs that day: "How is Sister Qingqing now? Is she still at Hu's house?"

Qin Shan was frightened by his daughter's angry look, and said quickly: "Don't worry, don't worry, Qingqing is fine. She is engaged to Xiao Chen, and the big day has been decided."

Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned: "Dad, are you saying that Sister Qingqing and Brother Chen are engaged? How could they..."

Qin Shan sighed: "During the most difficult days of Qingqing's life, Xiao Chen took the initiative to come to propose to marry Qingqing. Originally we thought it was inappropriate and had no intention of promoting it. It was your second aunt who told your little aunt the talk

Well, your little aunt felt that Qingqing's reputation was completely ruined and it would be difficult to find a suitable family, so she told Qingqing about this, and Qingqing nodded her head."

Lin Qiuniang added: "We all agree, and we have tried to persuade Qingqing, but Qingqing feels that her reputation is like this, and it is not her turn to be picky. She even said that Xiao Chen is very nice, alas..."

The Chen family's father and son are their long-term workers. Although they have not sold themselves, they are inferior to others in the eyes of outsiders. Now that Qingqing and Xiao Chen are engaged, there are a lot of gossips in the village, saying that the family has put their niece under their feet.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't expect that so many things would happen in just over a month. It took her a while to accept the fact that Sister Qingqing and Chen Feng were engaged.

Recalling what happened when the Chen family and his son came to work as long-term workers at her home, she found no flaws in Chen Feng's character. He was not only hard-working and enterprising, but also had some experience after studying for several years.

Ignoring the fact that he is his own long-term employee, he and Sister Qingqing are actually worthy of each other.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't explain how she felt, and asked: "Mom, what does grandpa think about this?"

Lin Qiuniang said: "Your grandfather didn't say anything. He just stopped hiring them and his son as long-term workers in our family. However, they will still be allowed to live in the old house. It depends on what the father and son plan to do."

Qin Xiaoxiao was silent. She could understand her grandfather's approach. She just felt that continuing to let the Chen family and his son do long-term work would not only look bad in public, but also look bad on Sister Qingqing's face.

"Xiaoxiao, you don't have to worry about Qingqing. As long as Xiao Chen is not afraid of hardship, your elder brother will give him a hand, and their lives will not be too bad in the future." Qin Shan was afraid that his daughter would always worry about his niece, so he took what Dabao said.

Comfort her.

"Dad, if we don't talk about anything else, Brother Chen is indeed a good person. I'm not very worried about Sister Qingqing marrying him. Now I just want to teach Hu Biantou and the others a lesson!" Qin Xiaoxiao said through gritted teeth, still regretting it.

I didn’t go to Hu’s house that day.

Lin Qiuniang was so frightened that she slapped her hard: "When things have reached this point, what's the use of teaching them a lesson? You can't do anything wrong!"

Doesn't this girl know her own abilities? If she accidentally develops evil thoughts, it will be a life-threatening matter. Hu Biantou and the others are indeed nothing, but they were really killed by their daughter, and it was her hands that were dirty.

In the early years, I sent my daughter to study and learn to read and write because I was worried that she would be impulsive and unable to control her emotions when something happened, and would easily harm others.

"Yes, just listen to your parents' advice and don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. After they did such a thing, not only did your little aunt hate them, she didn't even want to acknowledge them. She even ran away crying before

Our family told us to cut off ties with them, and they will not have a good life in the future." Qin Shan was also worried that his daughter would be punished for her sins, so he tried to persuade her earnestly.

Qin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and said slowly: "Father, mother, don't worry, I know what's going on and I won't do anything random."

When the couple heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as their daughter does not cause life-threatening incidents, they would be happy to punish those disgusting things. If Qingqing's surname was not Hu, their surname Qin could not intervene, and they would have come to the door long ago.

Jingheng returned to the house in the evening and found that his wife's mood was a little wrong. She didn't ask more questions in front of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, but when they returned to Anyiyuan, she asked about the reason.

Qin Xiaoxiao did not hide anything from him and told what happened to Sister Qingqing, but she could not avoid showing her hatred and disgust for Hu Biantou and the others.

"It's really not a good thing to have such calculations against your own daughter and granddaughter." Jing Heng scolded Hu Biantou and the other three, and followed her wishes and asked, "Do you want me to send someone to teach them a lesson?"

Qin Xiaoxiao heard this and asked curiously: "How do you plan to teach them a lesson?"

Jing Heng said calmly: "Break their limbs and cut off their tongues?"

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at him in surprise: "Is this too poisonous?"

When she just learned about the disgusting things those three disgusting things did, she was so angry that she really wanted to do it. After being persuaded by her parents one after another, the punishment she thought of was to make everything go wrong for them, and they would be unlucky all the time, even if they couldn't even drink water.

The kind that can choke you to death.

I thought that this kind of punishment was barely enough, but in front of Jing Heng, it was nothing short of a big deal.

"They ruined your cousin's reputation and almost forced her to death. Compared with their viciousness, this punishment is quite light." Jing Heng touched her face and said seriously: "Who made you unhappy?

I will make him regret coming into this world."

Qin Xiaoxiao felt moved in her heart, and then shook her head: "No, let them lose their hands and feet, and my aunt will have to work hard to serve them."

Jing Heng asked: "How do you want to punish them?"

Qin Xiaoxiao hummed: "Letting them suffer misfortune will not only cause trouble to my little aunt and others, but also distract them from thinking about bad ideas."

Jingheng's eyes brightened slightly, and he lowered his head and kissed her: "This is a good punishment."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't ask much when she saw him, and leaned in his arms dependently: "Brother Li, you are so kind. Fortunately, you and I are married."

Otherwise she might regret it one day.

Little did he know that the trust she showed also made Jing Heng extremely excited. He stared into her eyes and asked solemnly: "Then will you tell me that my grandmother will give me ten concubines in the future?"

Qin Xiaoxiao stared at him: Do you mean to settle old scores again?

No, the situation was urgent that day, and she said this to inspire her grandmother's will to live. Couldn't he hear it?

Of course Jing Heng could tell. He didn't think much about it at that time, but he became more and more angry after thinking about it. Until more than a month later, he still remembered the incident firmly.

Under his oppressive gaze, Qin Xiaoxiao gave in and said flatteringly: "Brother Li, this is not true, why don't you just forget about it?"

Jing Heng wanted to tease her, so he deliberately said with a cold face: "You said this yourself, how can I forget it!"

Qin Xiaoxiao murmured in a low voice: "If you were more generous, you would have forgotten this matter long ago."

Jing Heng's ears were sharp and he didn't miss her murmur. He couldn't help but pinch her face: "You said I'm stingy?"

Qin Xiaoxiao blinked, how could he dare to admit: "It's nothing, you can't wrongly accuse me like this!"

Jingheng didn't really want to argue with her, so he let go of her fleshy face: "Next time you say the wrong thing, see how I deal with you."

When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, he felt like he was escaping from a disaster: "Yeah, I will definitely not talk nonsense again!"
