Chapter 101: Qi of Lady Qin SAN

Chapter 101

The next day, in the dark hours of night, when the guards were being lax, Qin Er came to the corner of the military tent where Gong Xiaohua was imprisoned. He used a knife to gently cut a small hole and softly called out, "Madam?"

Lying in the tent, Gong Xiaohua instantly opened her eyes. With her sensitive hearing, she located the source of the sound and responded, "Qin Er?"

"It's me, Madam."

"Why have you come here?"

"To reply to you, Madam, I have prepared a letter for the Young Master. I wonder if Madam has any words she wants me to bring to the Young Master?"

Gong Xiaohua did not respond immediately, but asked, "What is the situation outside?"

"Gao Hu is currently busy dealing with General He's confidants with various excuses. There is also no news from Dawei's side." RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

Gong Xiaohua pondered. Gao Hu seemed to want to make General He a scapegoat. As for Dawei, he should also be plotting for greater benefits.

No matter what Gao Hu or the Dawei Court wanted to do, she had to take a gamble. She said to Qin Er, "Do you have brush, ink, paper and inkstone?"

"I do, Madam. Here they are."

Qin Er carefully took out the four treasures of the study that he had prepared earlier and passed them to Gong Xiaohua from under the tent.

Before long, Gong Xiaohua folded the letter she had written and handed it to Qin Er.

The memorial presented by Gao Hu and Qin Er's letter were delivered to the capital by fast horses at almost the same hour.

At this time, in the capital, the Qin Residence, Fuyun Courtyard.

The Qin Family Third House held morning and evening family meetings every fifteen days.

"Ah Yuan, how are things at the Xu Mountain border? There is only one month until the Ghost Festival. Will Xiaohua be able to come back on time?" Qin Chuyuan's eldest sister-in-law Zhao Rou asked with concern.

"News arrived in the last two days saying they had already reached the border. The war is unpredictable and it is hard to estimate when they will return. But eldest sister-in-law need not worry, she will definitely come back safely."

"Alright, I hope everything goes smoothly on the border."

"Grandmother, Grandmother, Auntie Xiaohua is so powerful, she will definitely drive away all the bad guys. When I grow up, I want to be like Auntie and drive away all the bad guys too."

"You little rascal, you don't even eat properly. How are you going to grow up and be like your aunt to fight bad guys?"

"Oh they are outstanding alright. Outstanding in none of them listening and all of them doing whatever they want."

"Let me ask you, are you going to do something about Qin's situation?"

"What happened to Qin?"

"Do you even know the Zhou son-in-law is taking in a concubine again next month? How many is this now? He's not worried about dying in a woman's belly someday."

"Wife, there are children present, watch what you say. And a man taking concubines is natural, how can I interfere?"

Seeing her in-laws about to argue, Zhao Rou promptly stood up to take her leave with her son.

But they were kept by Third Madam Qin, "Rou'er, no rush. Stay for a while."

"Yes, Mother." She sat back down with her son, automatically blocking her ears.

"Humph. You men always find all sorts of excuses. Just look what state the Zhou family has put Qin in. If you don't manage the situation, I will."

"Do as you wish. I'm leaving first." Third Master Qin said, then got up, shook his sleeves, and headed out.

Zhao Rou stood up with her son and bowed to her father-in-law, "Father, have a safe trip."

"Mm."

Seeing her husband had gone far, Madam Qin turned to Zhao Rou and said, "Rou'er, on the day the Zhou family takes in the concubine, invite Qin out. Leave their Zhou family matters for them to mess around with themselves. Don't let them cause Qin trouble."

"Yes, Mother."

Green Tide Courtyard.

Qin Chuyuan had just come from seeing his mother and returned to his own study.

"Has there been any news from the border these last couple days?"

Just as he finished speaking, Qin Yi suddenly appeared from some unknown corner and stood before Qin Chuyuan.

"In reply to Young Master, no, there has not."

Hearing there was none, Qin Chuyuan frowned. Several days ago they received the first letter from the border informing them their army was about to march overnight. He wondered how things were going?
