Chapter 138 Deliberate concealment
"You can avoid us for a while, but can you avoid us forever? If someone comes to provoke us, just fight back. What purpose could they have? Qin Huaihai's family is just coveting our things. You don't have to worry. If they want to kill themselves, just let them do what they want."
Qin Ruo's expression relaxed. She felt that things were going smoothly for her during the period since she came to the Great Sheng Dynasty.
She wanted to see what the purpose of the person standing behind Qin Zhengde's lineage was in interfering in her family's affairs?
After Qin Huaisheng came to the Qin family yesterday, he completely surrendered to Qin Ruo.
This time he did not hide it anymore. He told Qin Ruo clearly that Qin Zhengde had wanted to force her to marry someone else before.
In addition, Qin Ruo was reminded that Qin Zhengde seemed to have someone helping him behind the scenes and was preparing to deal with the Qin family.
As for the nobleman behind Qin Zhengde and his identity, Qin Huaisheng knew nothing except that he was from the capital.
These days, Qin Zhengde's family may have become suspicious of him, thinking that he had betrayed them, so they deliberately avoided Qin Huaisheng's family when doing things.
Qin Huaisheng just noticed that Qin Huaihai had been frequently in and out of Taihe County recently, which was very abnormal.
This surprised Qin Ruo.
Before, she thought that Qin Zhengde's family came for her Qin family's money. When she heard that there was someone behind him, she was a little confused.
Since the death of Qin Huaizheng and his wife, the Qin family has basically cut off contact with their relatives.
She was the original owner's aunt, whom she had never seen in all these years.
The farthest the Qin family has ever been is Taihe County, so there is absolutely no way they would offend anyone from the capital.
According to Qin Huaisheng, the mysterious man from the capital might have some grudges with the Qin family, which is a strange thing.
Qin Ruo thought about it carefully and soon deduced some clues.
If the so-called nobleman behind Qin Zhengde really came for the Qin family and wanted to wipe out the Qin family, then the biggest possibility is that he is related to the original owner's mother, Shen.
As for Shen’s identity, not only the villagers, but even the original owner didn’t know it when he was still alive.
I just heard people discuss that Shen was someone Qin Huaizheng rescued by accident when he was away from home before.
All I know is that Shen is from another place, and I heard that she is an orphan who came here because of family changes.
Later, Shen settled down in Changhe Village and married Qin Huaizheng.
The strange thing is that after Shen passed away, Old Lady Qin kept silent about her daughter-in-law.
Even when Qin Huaizheng was still alive, he seldom mentioned his wife.
Shen died of an acute illness when Qin Zimu was just one year old. Now Qin Zimu is eleven years old.
After many years, a so-called noble from the capital suddenly appeared, and came for the Qin family. Qin Ruo couldn't help but associate this matter with Shen's.
She had doubts about Shen's identity, and it was possible that Shen's identity was not as simple as it seemed.
Combined with Old Lady Qin's current reaction, Qin Ruo became more and more certain that Old Lady Qin must be hiding something.
"Ruo'er, I know you are a capable person. But a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Let's go out and avoid the limelight first. We will pack up now. Let's go, leave now!"
Old Mrs. Qin stood up with an anxious look on her face, her eyes full of fear and dread. She couldn't hear a word Qin Ruo said.
If you look closely, you can see that Old Lady Qin's body is trembling slightly.
Qin Zimu and Qin Ziyan are not stupid people, and the reaction of Old Lady Qin shows that the situation is quite serious.
"Grandma, are you hiding something from us? What happened?" Qin Ziyan looked at Grandma Qin quietly with sharp eyes.
"Don't ask anymore, just listen to me! This matter is not that simple, we can't defeat them! Ruo'er, Dalang, can you just listen to grandma for once? Grandma is begging you." Old Lady Qin became excited.
"Who are those people referring to? If you mean those people with the surname Qin at the head of the village, what can they do to the Qin family? It's not a good idea to hide blindly. I have no intention of leaving. If you want to leave, you can go, and I will stay."
Qin Ruo lowered her eyes and spoke in a flat tone.
"Ruo'er!" Old Mrs. Qin suddenly raised her voice.
She knew Qin Ruo's temper very well. Old Lady Qin knew that if she didn't explain the reason clearly today, she would really not leave.
Old Mrs. Qin looked at Song Shiqi, then at Banxia and Xundong.
When Xundong saw that Old Lady Qin seemed to be hesitant to speak, he tactfully bowed and prepared to pull Banxia away.
"Xundong, Banxia and Shiqi are all our own people, so there's no need to avoid them. If you don't want to talk, forget it. Tomorrow I'll send Banxia to take you to Taihe County."
Qin Ruo remained unmoved. Today she was determined to dig out something she didn't know from Old Lady Qin.
"Grandma, I won't leave either. I'll be wherever my sister is. I'm not afraid." Qin Zimu expressed his meaning clearly.
"It's not a good idea to hide it. If you don't tell us, how do you know we have no way to deal with it? Do you really want those people to plot against our Qin family before you tell us? It would be better to tell us clearly so that we can think of countermeasures in advance."
Qin Ziyan pressed Old Lady Qin's shoulders and pushed her back into the chair, his tone surprisingly calm.
Old Mrs. Qin's shoulders were tense, but suddenly they relaxed.
Yes, the Qin family is no longer the weak and helpless Qin family of the past.
Now that Ruo'er and Dalang have grown up, it's time to tell them about this. After all, some things cannot be kept secret for a lifetime.
After making up her mind, Old Lady Qin turned her gaze to Qin Zimu.
"Erlang..."
"Grandma, I'm not a child anymore. You don't have to avoid me. I also want to know who is targeting our Qin family." Qin Zimu was very smart. He interrupted Grandma Qin before she could speak.
Old Mrs. Qin was slightly stunned. She thought that Qin Zimu was still young, and even if he knew, it would be useless. It would just add another person to his troubles.
"Let Erlang stay too." Qin Ruo spoke up to dispel Old Lady Qin's idea of wanting Qin Zimu to avoid the place.
The best way to make a person grow is to let him go through ups and downs.
Qin Ruo wanted to train Qin Zimu, and she had a hunch that what Old Lady Qin was going to say should be related to the Shen family.
As the son of Shen, Qin Zimu has the right to know.
"Alas, I thought I would take that secret to the grave, but I didn't expect that this day would come so soon..." Old Mrs. Qin raised her sleeves, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and spoke with emotion.
"Do you still remember your mother, Shen?" When Old Lady Qin mentioned Shen, a hint of nostalgia appeared on her face.
Qin Ruo sat upright like an old monk in meditation.
In the original owner's memory, Shen was a gentle woman, beautiful and good at needlework.
In the past, she made all the clothes for the Qin family.
Shen has the temperament of a lady from a noble family. Compared with the ordinary village women, her words and actions are truly eye-catching.
It seems that Shen is not an orphan. She is most likely from a family in the capital.
As to why he ended up in Changhe Village, that remains to be investigated.
Qin Ziyan's expression gradually stiffened. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had heard anything about his mother in this family.
