Qin Yun shot Xie Jingan a cold glare!
Then she fell silent!
Xie Jingan also realized he had said the wrong thing and obediently shut his mouth!
After the medicine was applied!
They left the Imperial Hospital!
Qin Yun and Xie Jingan bid farewell to Ouyang Siqing!
Then they entered the carriage with Qin Yuanzhang and returned to the Qin mansion!
Not long after returning home! The Emperor's rewards arrived!
Ten chests of gold!
This made the second and third branches of the mansion extremely envious!
"Oh my, Yun'er has truly brought honor to our Qin mansion! Not only has she become an official, but she's also been granted a mansion and received so much gold! Second Aunt is truly happy for you!"
Seeing the chests of gold being carried into the main hall by the guards, Madam Min's eyes sparkled!
"Yun'er, you must not be able to manage so much gold yourself. Let your aunt keep it for you!"
Qin Yun twitched the corner of her mouth, this person was truly thick-skinned!
"No need! There's no need to trouble Second Aunt with such small matters!"
Madam Min had expected Qin Yun to refuse and smiled. "Alright, Yun'er has grown up and has her own ideas!"
"Mr. Jin, come here. This is the gold the Emperor bestowed upon Yun'er. Please count it and store it in the treasury for Yun'er!" Madam Min beckoned to Mr. Jin, the accountant, who was not far away!
"Yes, Second Madam!" Mr. Jin smiled politely. Without asking for Qin Yun's consent, he directly called over the servants and had them carry the ten chests of gold to the treasury!
To outsiders, Mr. Jin, the accountant, managed the mansion's finances, and everything seemed fine. But Qin Yun knew... if this gold entered the treasury, she might not get a share of it in the future!
"Wait!" Qin Yun said coldly!
Then, seeing the guard leader who had not yet left, she said, "Didn't the Emperor order this official to choose his own residence? This official has decided. I want that newly built large mansion next to the Qin mansion!"
"Carry these ten chests of gold to the mansion next door for this official!" Qin Yun referred to herself as "this official" this time. If not now, when would she show the authority of a third-rank official?
"Yes, Official Qin!" The guard leader was experienced and immediately did as Qin Yun said!
The guards directly pushed aside the servants, and in pairs, they carried the chests to the large courtyard next door!
"Official Qin, do you have any other instructions?"
Qin Yun placed her hands on her hips and tilted her chin. "Not for now. You may leave."
"Yes! Your subordinate takes his leave!"
Madam Min, standing by the side, was full of displeasure, as if she had lost money!
"Second Aunt, I'm truly sorry. The Emperor has granted this official a mansion, so this official has a place to put this gold!" Saying this, Qin Yun strode away!
Madam Min stood there, clutching her handkerchief, wishing she could flay Qin Yun alive!
Upon learning that Qin Yun had been appointed to two official positions and was rewarded with a mansion and a hundred thousand taels of gold, Qin Yu fell ill from anger!
She never expected this good-for-nothing Qin Yun to have such good luck!
Not only did she top the imperial examinations, but she was now appointed to two official positions, granted a mansion, and received so much gold!
Thinking of this, Qin Yu found it difficult to breathe!
She compared Qin Yun with Ming Xiajing!
Ming Xiajing was inferior to Qin Yun in every aspect!
In terms of appearance, ever since the red rash on Qin Yun's face had healed, her looks were indeed handsome!
And then there was Ming Xiajing's pockmarked face, triangular eyes, big mouth, nostrils pointing upwards, a skinny physique, and poor performance in bed!
In terms of scholarship, Qin Yun had topped the imperial examinations!
And Ming Xiajing!
He couldn't even pass the Jinshi examination!
The more Qin Yu thought about it, the angrier she became!
She didn't want to marry Ming Xiajing and had to find a way!
Considering the time, there was only a little over a month left until the wedding. She needed to find a foolproof plan quickly!
That day!
Qin Yu informed Qin Yuanzhang that she would be moving to the new courtyard!
Seeing that Qin Yun was old enough and now held an official position, and since Qin Yun's chosen mansion was next to the Qin mansion, Qin Yuanzhang agreed to Qin Yun moving to the adjacent residence!
Since Qin Yun's small room was already cleaned out, there wasn't much to move at the moment!
Apart from the herbs she had stored for daily use, there were no other valuable items!
That night!
Qin Yun, accompanied by Xiao Ju and Granny Tian, entered the adjacent mansion!
When they arrived in front of the mansion gate!
Above the main gate of the courtyard, three large, bright characters hung: "Zhuangyuan Mansion."
Upon seeing this creation, Qin Yun knew it must have been her father's doing, as if he was afraid others wouldn't know she was the Zhuangyuan! kuAiδugg
After entering the mansion! Qin Yun instructed Xiao Ju to go to the slave market tomorrow to buy six diligent young maids and six young servants!
The mansion was large, with three courtyards deep and three courtyards wide!
There was a main courtyard, a side courtyard, two attached small courtyards, and one large general courtyard, which could accommodate the servants, meaning the living quarters for the staff!
Qin Yun had Xiao Ju and Granny Tian tidy up the main house of the main courtyard that night!
The rest would be cleaned up after buying the maids and servants tomorrow!
After the main house was tidied, Qin Yun arranged for Xiao Ju to stay in the side room next to the main house, and Granny Tian to stay in the west wing room!
After washing up!
Qin Yun asked Xiao Ju to help her check her wounds!
"Young master, your shoulder has been injured twice now. Who was so heartless to strike you so hard!"
Qin Yun frowned slightly as she looked at the wound on her shoulder!
She still hadn't found the assassin she encountered in the forest at the horse farm. She had been too busy these past few days and had forgotten about it!
She had already sent Hong Fu to investigate the identity of the shadowy assassin from today!
This matter was not simple, and it was unlikely to be resolved anytime soon!
But she was certain that the black-clothed assassin was definitely from the second branch!
Besides Min Shi, who else could have such high martial arts skills?
Could it be that Mr. Jin knew martial arts?
But he didn't seem like it!
She would have to find Hong Fu to test Mr. Jin's skills another day!
After applying the medicine, Qin Yun was also tired and urged Xiao Ju to go to the side room to rest!
Then she also fell into a deep sleep!
The night was very quiet!
Because Qin Yun was too exhausted and injured, she quickly fell asleep!
In the darkness!
Xie Qianmo descended gracefully!
He landed in front of Qin Yun's main courtyard!
Xie Qianmo's Qinggong was excellent!
To avoid being discovered, he flipped through the window and entered the room from in front of the main house window!
Xie Qianmo's steps were extremely light! He slowly approached Qin Yun's bedside and sat down!
Using the dim light in the room, Xie Qianmo took in Qin Yun's sleeping face!
He glanced at the wounds on Qin Yun's shoulder and calf!
Although the wounds had been treated, Xie Qianmo was still uneasy!
To prevent Qin Yun from discovering him, Xie Qianmo acupressured Qin Yun's sleeping points!
Then, he took out a bottle of high-quality ointment from his waist!
He uncovered the white cloth strip and meticulously applied the ointment to Qin Yun!
He had wanted to give her this ointment during the day!
Unfortunately... she had been very intimate with Ouyang Siqing at the time, so he stopped and did not step forward!
This ungrateful little thing. He had been worried about her all along, but she was so intimate with others!
Xie Qianmo quickly finished applying the medicine and retied the white cloth strip for Qin Yun before he felt relieved!
This was the first time he had cared so much about someone!
Even though he knew the other party was a man, he should put away his inappropriate thoughts!
But seeing her injured today, he couldn't help but want to come and see her!
