Shocking Mountain Moon

Chapter 59 Xue Han's Curiosity
Qiu Heng watched Xue Han say something to the chief inspector, and then the Imperial City Division took over the responsibility of arresting the people from the Inspection Division.

The old lady also saw all this and shook her head slightly: "This Imperial City Division is really——"

The old lady didn't say what it really was, but the way the people on the street looked at Xue Han with anger but no words was enough to show the world's dissatisfaction with the arrest of the hero who pasted hemp paper.

It would be a great pleasure for the people if a righteous man could get rid of the traitor Yuan who is harming the people.

Yes, now the people in Beijing privately call the person who posted the hemp paper a righteous man, and Yuan Chenghai a dog thief.

There was also a treacherous prime minister. The soldiers clearly won the battle, but it turned out that Daxia gave a large sum of money to Northern Qi. This was all done by the treacherous prime minister!
"Pull down the curtain, you are the only one who loves to watch the fun." The old lady had just scolded Qiu Heng when she saw Xue Han walking towards this direction.

The old lady's heart skipped a beat.

Isn't it aimed at them?
Originally, the Yongqing Marquis' Mansion had nothing to do with the Imperial City Administration, so normally they wouldn't have had such an idea. But since the Sixth Girl had just been found, the Imperial City Envoy came to visit in person.

Taking a look at Qiu Heng who looked calm, the old lady's mouth twitched.

This girl is quite patient.

The carriage stopped and the young man's voice came in: "Excuse me, are you the old lady of Yongqing Marquis's Mansion?"

The old lady sitting in the middle had to lift the curtain of the car and said politely, "It's me."

"Is Miss Qiuliu with you?"

The old lady's expression froze slightly.

What trouble has that damn girl gotten herself into again?
"I'm here." Qiu Heng poked her head out from beside the old lady.

The old lady pulled Qiu Heng from behind her back and gave Xue Han a forced smile: "I wonder what Master Xue wants to see your granddaughter about?"

"It's the same as what I said to you." The tall and straight young man leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice, "The rumors about Miss Qiu Liu were spread by Yuan Chenghai."

As he said this, he was looking at the girl with only half of her face exposed.

She didn't seem surprised, and raised the corner of her lips to him: "Thank you, Lord Xue, for telling me."

Xue Han stood up, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

The old lady suddenly lowered the curtain and looked at Qiu Heng.

Qiu Heng hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, grandma. Princess Kang has adopted me as her adopted daughter, so Yuan Chenghai's plan has come to nothing."

The family reunion banquet will be held in five days, and the news will spread among the circle by then.

"That's not what I'm talking about." The old lady's eyes were burning. "Why would Lord Xue from the Imperial City Department investigate this and come to tell us about it?"

What is your relationship?
The old lady wanted to go crazy, but she held back.

Qiu Heng frowned at the question and said hesitantly, "Maybe it's because Master Xue sympathizes with the poor and the weak and sees injustice when he sees it—"

The old lady slapped the board and said, "Speak human language!"

The people in charge of the Imperial City Administration pity the poor and the weak and stand up for justice?
Qiu Heng thought to herself that this was indeed what Xue Han had said, but no one would believe it.

"That time, my granddaughter went to Dafu Temple outside the city to burn incense. When she came back to the city, she encountered strict inspections. The city gate officials tried to make things difficult for her. It was Lord Xue who helped me out... Maybe Lord Xue came to our house to see me, so he took care of an acquaintance."

Old lady: "..."

Bullshit for taking care of acquaintances! That boy must have bad intentions towards the sixth girl!

The old lady felt upset when she took one look at her beautiful granddaughter.

He is good-looking, knows little, and is here to defeat her.

What on earth did that Nanny Yu teach me? Did she slack off every day?

At Xue Han's place, Hu Si chased beside him and said, "Sir, did you say that in front of the old lady of Yongqing?"

"Why not?"

"How can that be possible? It will lead to misunderstanding!"

"What's the misunderstanding?" Xue Han asked.

"Misunderstanding--" Hu Si blinked.

Oh, it’s not a misunderstanding, they adults are just thinking about Miss Qiu Liu.

But aren't you being too direct? "Don't overthink it." Xue Han glanced at his men and strode forward.

Is it a misunderstanding that he is interested in Miss Qiuliu?
If this is true, it will not be a bad thing for Miss Qiu Liu who has such a grandfather. At least Yongqing Bosheng will be more cautious about betraying his granddaughter in the future.

As the young man thought about this, the girl's calm features appeared in his mind.

She looked like an autumn pond, bright and calm, not at all disturbed by the bad words.

He doesn't care about a bad reputation, does whatever he wants, and is so free and easy that he doesn't fit in with this world.

Such people, especially women, are either ignorant and fearless or confident.

After many contacts, the feeling she gave him was definitely not the former.

So what is her confidence?
He originally thought that she was a timid little girl who had missed out on ten years of noble upbringing, and that he needed to do more to make her life less difficult in the beginning.

And now, he found that he couldn't see through her at all.

She was like a mystery, arousing his curiosity and wanting to find the answer.

But the boy instinctively felt that this was dangerous, so he walked faster, trying to get away from the carriage carrying the girl.

After returning to the Earl's Mansion, the old lady immediately called Earl Yongqing and told him that Princess Kang wanted to adopt Qiuheng as her adopted daughter.

Yongqing Bo was so shocked that his jaw dropped. "Does the Prince Kang's Mansion have any leverage in the hands of the Sixth Girl?"

That girl is so weird!

Earl Yongqing suddenly agreed with what the old lady had said about Qiuheng.

Seeing Earl Yongqing's reaction, the old lady felt inexplicably proud: "If you want to talk about leverage, there really is one."

Yongqing Earl:?

"I think the Princess of Kang County is particularly worried about something happening between the Sixth Girl and the Prince of Kang County. Taking the Sixth Girl as her adopted daughter can help solve this problem."

Yongqing Bo was stunned and suddenly had an idea: "If the sixth girl knew the prince——"

The old lady rolled her eyes: "The queen is gone."

Yongqing Bo sighed: "That's right."

Old lady: "..."

Why was she chatting with the old man about such outrageous topics?
"Anyway, Yuan's wish has failed. My Lord, please stop thinking about it."

Yongqing Bo was furious: "I've told you so many times that I never had such an intention!"

Why did he think he had this in mind? If he really had to sacrifice his reputation and let his granddaughter become a concubine, he would not choose Yuan Chenghai.

The maid standing outside the house became calm when she heard the quarrel between the old uncle and the old lady.

Five days later, everyone from the Yongqing Marquis' Mansion went to the Kang County Prince's Mansion for a banquet, and the recognition of relatives was completed under the witness of both parties.

When Yuan Chenghai heard the news, his face immediately turned dark.

He secretly spread the news that Miss Qiu Liu was visiting his home in order to leave him with no way out. In the end, maybe he wouldn't even need to hint to Earl Yongqing, and the old man would take the initiative to send his granddaughter to him.

Unexpectedly, Prince Kang's Mansion intervened and ruined the plan.

Is there something wrong with Prince Kang's Mansion? Why are they so unselective when it comes to adopting a daughter?

Yuan Chenghai was unhappy and went to Nie Si Niang.

Nie Si Niang's residence is deeper than Li Niang and Hui Niang's courtyard. As soon as you step through the door, you are hit by a fragrance.

Yuan Chenghai took a deep breath and the annoyance in his heart was slightly relieved.

This is also the reason why he often goes home early these days.

Whether it is a wine shop, teahouse, brothel or private residence in Beijing, incense is indispensable, but none of them is as good as the incense at home.

The fragrance in Li Niang's room refreshes people's minds, the fragrance in Hui Niang's room relaxes people's minds, and the fragrance in Si Niang's room calms people's minds.

I have to say, that little girl has some skills.
