I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl! - Chapter 298

Chapter 298 The Liu family and the Liu family’s temptation

Cuihua Hutong.

The Qin family has guests today.

Song Jin is entertaining Liu Jianfang.

To be honest, Song Jin never expected that Liu Jianfang would come to visit unexpectedly. The reason was that Liu Jianfang had taken a break today and came over to visit him on an impromptu basis. Since he was a neighbor, he did not hand over a greeting card.

Song Jin Bento believed what Liu Jianfang said.

Treat them as ordinary guests.

It is said that Song Jin is cautious and will disguise himself when he is at home, so that the other party will not suddenly come to the door and be bumped into his true appearance.

While the two were chatting about medicinal materials, Song Jin took Liu Jianfang to her processing room.

Liu Jianfang saw signs of use on the tools and said in surprise: “I didn’t expect you to be an official’s wife and still prepare medicinal materials.”

“I’m bored at home all day, looking for something to do.” Song Jin said bluntly.

Liu Jianfang glanced at the processing room again, “I thought you would have no time to socialize all day long.”

“My husband said, I can’t handle that.”

Song Jin looked like she regarded her husband as her first priority, and acted like her husband-in-law would do whatever he said. She was no different from ordinary women outside. This made Liu Jianfang less interested in trying her.

Liu Jianfang reminded her unintentionally, “Has he asked for a royal title for you? A fifth-grade official can ask for a royal title for his wife.”

“This, don’t be in a hurry.”

There was hesitation on Song Jin’s face, “My husband-in-law has only just been in office. Let’s wait until he has established a firm footing.”

“That’s right, there’s no rush.”

Liu Jianfang had heard a lot about Qin Chi.

It was easier for men to become officials in the court than for women. Although she had known for a long time that Qin Chi would soar into the sky, but it was so fast that she could not help but feel envious and jealous in her heart.

The same goes for her husband Liu Ji.

Although many people admire Qin Chi outside, they criticize him a lot at home. They suspect Qin Chi has some dealings behind his back several times. Otherwise, why would he be promoted so quickly? Knowing that she and Song Jin were old acquaintances, he immediately encouraged her to come here for a test.

It’s just that after talking for so long, Liu Jianfang couldn’t find out anything. When it came to officialdom matters, Song Jin didn’t know anything about it.

Seeing that the office is about to be dismissed.

Liu Jianfang stood up and said goodbye.

Song Jin politely escorted the master and servant to the door.

Wait until you return to Liuzhai.

As soon as Liu Jianfang stepped into the courtyard, Liu Ji came to greet her, “How are you? Did you find out anything?”

“The Qin family’s house has never violated the regulations, and there is not a decent ornament.” Liu Jianfang took another look at the elegant layout of her house, as well as the expensive furniture and ornaments. “Ms. Qin is a diligent and thrifty housewife.”

“That’s all?”

Liu Ji frowned, “Is there nothing suspicious?”

“No, if you don’t believe it, just go and see it yourself.”

Liu Jianfang sat down, and Xiao Xi served tea, “Qin’s tea is commonly available in tea shops outside. It has a bitter taste when you drink it, but the tea at home is better.”

Liu Ji sat on the chair, “I received news that there is someone behind Qin Qi’an. But it doesn’t sound like what you said.”

“Is there someone behind you?”

Liu Jianfang frowned, “He first came to the capital, and he had to rely on Mrs. Qin to make money outside. The rented place is also very small, and it doesn’t look like someone is covering him.”

“Then, couldn’t it be that he secretly sought refuge with someone when he was studying in the Imperial College?” Liu Ji carefully pondered this possibility, “According to the investigation, the friendship between several classmates he interacted with was ordinary, so it would be easy to single them out. It’s Ling Yuanhao who went to the military camp.”

“You want to say that he took refuge with Ling Yuanhao?”

Liu Jianfang thought that behind Ling Yuanhao was Ling Dinghou Mansion, “It’s impossible. What would a civil servant do if he seeks refuge with a military general? Besides, General Ling is not in Beijing either.”

If you want to go far in officialdom.

Qin Chi needs to find a civil servant as a backer.

You must know that literati despise martial arts, and most of all they look down on military attachés.

Liu Ji thought about it but it was impossible. Ever since Ling Yuanhao suddenly joined the army, he didn’t seem to have much contact with Qin Chi. Qin Chi didn’t seem to be friends with anyone in the capital, and even if he tried to find anyone he suspected of being a backer, he couldn’t find him.

“Forget it, I’ll ask next time.”

Liu Ji could only give up first.

Immediately he stood up, closed the folding fan and said, “I have an appointment with my classmates tonight, so there is no need to hold the door open for me.”

“good.”

Liu Jianfang gritted her teeth and watched Liu Ji stride out.

Xiao Xi on the side said angrily, “Miss, how could my uncle do this? Most likely he was seduced by the foxy girl outside.”

“Shut up, uncle, can you arrange it?” Liu Jianfang whispered with a stern look.

Xiao Xi admitted her mistake aggrievedly, “Yes, it was my fault.”

“Xiao Xi, you have been with me for so many years, and you should know how to measure some things. I can indulge you, but if these words spread to the outside world, my uncle may not be able to forgive you. Think about Xiao Tao last month, and I can’t To take this as a warning?” Liu Jianfang said seriously.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Hearing this, Xiao Xi’s face turned pale.

It seemed like he had thought of something terrible.

Last month, maid Xiao Tao complained that Liu Ji treated Liu Jianfang badly. This word reached Liu Ji’s ears, and Liu Ji ordered the housekeeper to give him twenty punishments with a cane before selling him out. It is said that the slave who instigates discord between the master and his mistress does not have to stay at home.

Xiao Xi was so frightened that she knelt down and said, “Miss, I don’t dare to do this anymore.”

“It’ll be nice if you have a long memory.”

Liu Jianfang also did it for a small hobby.

The days after her marriage were just like what she had imagined before she got married. They were living a miserable life and it seemed like there would be no bright future.

…

Qin Chi returned home.

Soon I learned that a guest had arrived today.

When the couple were getting along in private, Song Jin told Qin Chi, “She seems to be here to inquire about the news, and she kept talking about you.”

“Did the Liu family notice me?” Qin Chi raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment before asking, “What else did you say?”

“I also mentioned why you didn’t ask me for a royal title, so I pretended to be stupid and fooled you.” Song Jin thought that the other party was probably here to check up on routine, and was not necessarily suspicious of Qin Chi.

Qin Chi had the same idea, so he put the matter of Liu Ji and Liu Jianfang behind him, “Do you think you have a strange husband?”

“What’s your fault?” Song Jin was confused.

Qin Chi replied straightly: “Please give me the imperial edict.”

Song Jin suddenly became amused when he saw his appearance, “What’s so strange about this? My husband has only been an official for a long time, and he has no achievements. It’s too early to ask for a title.”

“Thank you madam for understanding.”

Qin Chi stood up solemnly and bowed deeply to Song Jin.

Song Jin was slightly stunned.

Shouldn’t the focus of the conversation just now be the Liu family and the Liu family’s temptation? Unexpectedly, what he valued most was the imperial edict she casually mentioned.

“My husband can’t do it! I can’t do it! I can’t bear this great gift.”

Song Jin came to his senses and hurriedly avoided it.

Qin Chi straightened his back, stood tall, and stared at her with a smile, “I can bear this gift for my husband.”

“this…”

Song Jin ran away, his cheeks felt inexplicably hot, and he said quickly as he walked out: “There is still soup in the kitchen, let me go and take a look.”

After she stepped over the threshold.

You can also hear Qin Chi’s happy laughter behind you.
