He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

Nowadays, the surname Qin is rare in Shengjing, not only because this surname is rare, but also because ten years ago, the corruption case of Shangshu Qin Mingqi was widely implicated. The nine tribes were implicated, beheaded by beheading, exiled by the army, exiled by the exile, The influence was so great that there is no official named Qin in the court to this day.

And the truth is just as Shen Qing thought, Qin Luan is the orphan of the Qin family and the only remaining bloodline of the Qin family.

In the past, the Qin family was wiped out, and all the female relatives were sent to a brothel. The lady of Shangshu couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide on the spot. The young daughter was also stabbed to death by her sword to avoid being humiliated. However, in fact, Qin Luan was killed by Yangling Marquis. She was secretly rescued and kept in Qingyun Lane ever since. After Qin Luan got married, Yangling Marquis became married to her and she is now eight months pregnant.

Seeing this, Shen Qing frowned slightly. In other words, her father-in-law, one of the three princes of Shengjing, not only harbored criminals from the imperial court for many years, but also secretly lived with them?

No wonder he would rather admit that he stayed in Zuixianlou and be impeached by the censors than expose Qin Luan in Qingyun Lane.

Shen Qing thought about it carefully. Although Qin Luan was the direct bloodline of the guilty minister Qin Mingqi, ten years had passed and the direct lineage of the Qin family had long since died. Even the traces of that year were probably left by Yang Ling. Hou erased them all, and now almost no one can recognize Qin Luan's identity.

So why is Marquis Yangling still unwilling to take Qin Luan to the Marquis Yangling Mansion, but why is he so secretive all the time?

Is it possible that Qin Luan has any secrets?

Thinking of this, Shen Qing suddenly curled his lips. In this case, things would be much more interesting.

So she might have to go to Qingyun Lane sometime.

Looking at the sky outside, Shen Qing felt that tonight would be a good night.

…

Dark clouds covered the moon and the night was hazy. Lu Yan hugged Shen Qing and passed quickly between the eaves, leaving only an undetectable afterimage.

The cool night breeze penetrated into the neck along the collar, and Chen Shen leaned forward and trembled subconsciously.

Feeling the strangeness of the person in his arms, Lu Yan hugged her tighter and subconsciously slowed down a bit.

Two quarters of an hour later, Qingyun Lane, the roof of the main courtyard.

Shen Qing skillfully lifted up a tile and saw Qin Luan sitting alone in the room, with a slight sadness on his face.

Shen Qing glanced at Lu Yan, and Lu Yan immediately understood. He hugged Shen Qing and landed smoothly. He watched Shen Qing walk towards the door of the house, while he was hidden in the darkness at the entrance of the courtyard.

Without knocking, Shen Qing pushed the door open and walked in. Qin Luan was startled when he saw the strange face that suddenly appeared, but there was no trace of panic in his eyes, "Who are you?"

Shen Qing walked towards the nearest chair, sat down naturally, looked into Qin Luan's eyes and raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Xu Luan, or I should call you... Qin Luan."

Seeing that Shen Qing actually knew his true identity, Qin Luan frowned imperceptibly, but he still didn't mean to say anything, "What do you want to do?"

This time, Shen Qingqing responded to her, "I want to cooperate with you."

cooperate?

Qin Luan's expression condensed, not knowing what Shen Qing meant by this.

Seeing Qin Luan's vigilant look, Shen Qing glanced at Qin Luan's belly and curled up the corner of his mouth, "If you think about it, this person in your belly will have to call me sister-in-law."

Qin Luan immediately turned pale and subconsciously asked, "What do you mean?"

Shen Qing's lips curled up into a smile, "Miss Qin has long understood this, hasn't she? The Mulang you are talking about is my father-in-law, Yangling Marquis, Mu Linyuan, one of the three noble and prominent princes in Shengjing. "

Marquis Yangling used a false identity in front of Qin Luan from beginning to end, Mu Yuan, a businessman who had no father, no mother, no home, and often traveled between cities around Shengjing.

To show his sincerity in cooperating, Shen Qing also introduced himself generously, "My name is Shen Qing, the wife of Mu Ziqian, the direct son of the Yangling Marquis Mansion."

Qin Luan's little face with almost no trace of blood began to look cold, "I can't understand what you are talking about."

Even though he had long suspected Mu Yuan's identity, Qin Luan still chose to believe in the person beside him who had been with him for ten years.

Regarding Qin Luan's denial, Shen Qing smiled meaninglessly, and then opened up the scars that Qin Luan was desperately trying to cover, "Ten years ago, the minister Qin Mingqi was implicated in a corruption case, and all the men named Qin were beheaded. Mu Linyuan , was one of the prison officials. The female relatives were all sent to Feng Yue Tower in Jiangzhou to suffer the consequences. Your mother had a strong temper and did not want to be humiliated and committed suicide, but you were lucky enough to survive. I want to know, Mu. How did Lin Yuan save you?"

The Qin family case that year made a big fuss. At this special moment when anyone with the Qin family would be implicated, Shen Qing didn't think Mu Linyuan would do such a good thing for no reason.

Qin Luan pursed his lips tightly, and after a long time, he said, "Li Daitao is stiff."

The whole Qin family was slaughtered, which was a lingering haze in Qin Luan's heart.

After being stabbed by her mother that year, Qin Luan did not die on the spot, but was seriously injured and fell into a coma. It was Mu Linyuan who came to Fengyue Tower in time and rescued her who was dying, and then found a little boy of similar age to her. The girl died in the fire on her behalf.

"Why did he save you?"

Shen Qing thought for a whole afternoon, but still couldn't figure out why Mu Linyuan took such a risk?

Because you like it?

But Qin Luan was only six years old at that time, and Shen Qing, who controlled most of the Yangling Marquis Mansion, knew very well that Mu Linyuan was not a pedophile.

Qin Luan frowned and said the reason she had believed for ten years, "He said he was an old friend of my mother."

Shen Qing looked thoughtful, old friend?

An old friend worth Mu Linyuan's risk...

Ten years ago, Shen Qing was only six years old, and his understanding of the Qin family case was limited to the fact that Qin Mingqi embezzled 500,000 taels of disaster relief silver, which led to the death of nearly 300,000 people in more than a dozen cities such as Yuezhou Jiangcheng. The emperor was furious and confiscated the Qin family and implicated all nine clans.

However, since Qin Luan said that Mu Linyuan had a friendship with the deceased Shangshu's wife, Shen Qing was going to go back and ask Aunt Qiu and Aunt Liang.

Because of Mu Lingyue's incident, Aunt Liang also took the initiative to surrender. Now, in the entire Yangling Marquis' Mansion, only the Mu family's direct descendants are still outside Shen Qing's control.

Seeing Shen Qing remained silent for a long time, Qin Luan could not wait any longer, "What do you mean by cooperation?"

Shen Qing looked at Qin Luan's beautiful face, and a light flashed in his mind. Then he answered Qin Luan's question irrelevantly, "As the only direct descendant of the Qin family, Miss Qin is willing to be just a concubine?"

Qin Luan raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth, "Why? If you don't want to be a concubine, will you go back to be a concubine?"

Qin Luan is not stupid, on the contrary, she has completely inherited her mother's intelligence and agility. Therefore, after ten years of getting along, Qin Luan naturally discovered many flaws of Mu Yuan, and she also knew that Mu Yuan had concealed a lot from her, but every time she chose to believe it.

Since she saw her father being dragged away and her mother dying in front of her when she was six years old, Qin Luan's whole world collapsed. It was Mu Yuan's appearance that supported the last piece of pure land for her, but now she knows that Mu Yuan's feelings have been a deception from beginning to end. Qin Luan only feels that her heart is flooded with pain, as if he wants to tear her apart bit by bit and then devour her.

Shen Qing's fingers lightly touched the porcelain white teacup in front of him, and he said word by word, "Miss Qin, don't you want to see what kind of person Mu Yuan, who has been with you for ten years, is?"
