Qin Xin clenched her fists tightly and blue veins could be faintly seen from the back of them.

Shu Xiang was kneeling there silently, not moving a muscle.

“Shu Xiang.” Qin Xin thought for a moment and said deeply, “Head over to Xuanqing Temple for me and ask that person, ask them what they want from me!”

Shu Xiang answered her and quickly hurried off.

Shu Xiang left the marquis’s mansion and headed straight to Xuanqing Temple, saying there for a long time before coming out and rushing back to the marquis’s mansion.

She did not notice that two figures had also come out from behind a parasol tree not far away after she stepped out of Xuanqing Mountain.

“Pei Qi, thank you.” Qin Zening patted Pei Qi’s shoulder with a smile.

The Wardens’ Offices of the Five Wards had many eyes and ears everywhere. It was only by entrusting Pei Qi to have his men keep an eye on Shu Xiang were they able to successfully follow her to this place and also learned that she had come here to meet a man named Wang Sankun, who stayed at Xuanqing Temple long-term.

“It’s nothing big.” Pei Qi swung the horsewhip in his hand playfully. “Remember to buy me a drink someday.”

Pei Qi did not ask for the reason, he just kept an eye on the girl, so it wasn’t a big deal.

Now, Qin Xin had actually gone back on her word and cut off her final straw!

Since she was going to give her a hard time, then she wouldn’t let Qin Xin rest easy either!

A fire lit up in Daoist Master Yunguang’s eyes. She shouted at the top of her voice, “Guards! This poor daoist wants to see the Lord Mayor!”

“This poor daoist was forced by the Second Young Mistress of the Zhongyi Marquis’ household! It was Qin Xin!”

“It was Qin Xin who asked this poor Daoist to make a show in front of the Empress Dowager...”

“...”

Yunguang’s case had long been decided by the lord mayor and the case file was sent to Dali Temple. The nails have already been hammered into the coffin.

But Yunguang suddenly changed her confession on the eve of the exile, saying that the one behind it all was the future second princess consort.

This was truly a shocking matter. The lord mayor had no way of making a decision, much less hiding it. He could only go personally into the palace to report to the emperor.

That same day, someone came from the palace. Empress Wei had instructed Qin Xin to come into the palace.

The eunuch who delivered her announcement looked at Mrs. Su with a smile on his face. “Marquess, please come with us.”

In the past, the eunuchs from the palace had all been very polite with them, but they were all vaguely emitting an unkindly attitude when speaking to them today.

Qin Xin wasn’t the only one who felt this, madam Qin and Mrs. Su felt it too and they were all feeling panicked.
