Chapter 370: A Little Goodbye Is Better than a New Marriage
When Qin Chi returned home, Song Jin was still asleep.
He went to the study again and was currently reading a letter, which was the "suicide note" of Mr. Yang Ge that Song Jin had brought from Huizhou.
In Qin Chi''s view, this suicide note was almost certain that the former prince had escaped death. The masked man they saw earlier was most likely the former Crown Prince He Liankai.
Now this man was targeting him.
It was probably because he had disturbed He Lian Kai''s affairs many times.
No, He Liankai targeted him. Before he interfered with the other party''s good deeds, the other party attacked his wife when he first became the number one scholar. On the day of the number one scholar''s parade, a group of gangsters targeted Song Jin and planned to kill Song Jin. It was He Liankai who was behind Jin''s move.
A superior person like He Liankai.
Killing is just a matter of words.
Perhaps He Liankai has long forgotten this incident back then, but Qin Chi will not forget it.
"Tuk-tuk."
There was a gentle knock on the study door.
Qin Chi put down the letter and said, "Come in."
With a "squeak" sound, the two doors were pushed open from the outside.
Song Jin entered the room carrying a green branch porcelain bowl, walked slowly to the table, and placed the porcelain bowl in front of Qin Chi.
"When I saw the lily and lotus seed soup cooked in the kitchen, I brought a bowl to my husband."
Song Jin spoke gently.
Qin Chi reached out with a smile, pulled her to his side as she was about to leave, and then led her to sit on his lap. A pair of arms wrapped around her, "Would you like to eat with me, madam?"
Song Jin''s face turned red and he said awkwardly, "I haven''t seen you for a while, and my husband has become different from the past."
He has become Meng Lang.
In the past, Qin Chi rarely behaved like this when getting along with her, and most of the time he was reserved and polite.
Qin Chi didn''t answer, as if he hadn''t heard anything.
He wouldn''t ask this kind of question if he wasn''t stupid. He just reached out and picked up the lily and lotus seed soup on the table.
The window lattice slants through the gentle sunlight.
It reflects the dependent man and woman in the house.
The man was wearing a green gown with soft eyes, while the woman was wearing a light-colored skirt with a shy blush on her face.
An ordinary bowl of lily and lotus seed soup.
It seems to be a symbol of the two people''s emotions, hazy but real.
Qin Chi gently scooped up a spoonful of soup and handed it to Song Jin''s mouth, "Madam, let me try it on my husband. Is this hot enough for your mouth?"
Song Jin lowered his head slightly and subconsciously avoided it. He wanted to get up uncomfortably, but Qin Chi refused.
The gentleman who was polite outside now assumed a nonchalant and leisurely attitude, teasing his wife to feed her, as if he had done this thousands of times.
Qin Chi said directly: "Do you think it''s too hot?"
He put the spoon to his mouth.
Gently blow away the rising heat, and then send it into her mouth again.
It’s hard to refuse such hospitality.
No, he is very persistent in wanting to feed.
Song Jin hesitated for a while, then opened his mouth and swallowed the lotus seed soup.
The sweetness and fragrance instantly filled the lips and teeth.
Then Qin Chi took a bite, swallowed it and praised: "Well, it''s sweet but not greasy, just like the taste of meeting again after we were separated."
As soon as he said these words, Song Jin felt a wave of heat, spreading from his heart to his limbs, and then to his cheeks. It took him a long time to calm down, "Xiangong, who did you learn these words from?"
"Do you still need to learn from others? This is a sentiment from the heart, sincere and sincere." Qin Chi''s tone was extremely natural.
He was about to start feeding again.
As a couple, you take one bite and I take one bite. As the soup in the bowl gradually decreased, the distance between the two became closer and closer, until finally, their noses were almost touching, and they shared the last spoonful of soup. The deep love and sweetness seemed to make even the air sweet. , their eyes are full of each other''s figure, gentle and lingering.
"Squeak."
The study door, which was ajar, was suddenly pushed open.
The couple who were very close to each other suddenly came to their senses and looked in the direction of the door. At first glance, they saw no one, but when they looked carefully, they saw a short little girl.
He was groaning as he climbed over the threshold.
"Mother? Mother..."
Niu Niu got up to look for her mother. She heard from Sister Xiaoyu that her mother had come to the study to look for her father. She was not allowed to disturb her, so she sneaked over secretly so that Sister Xiaoyu wouldn''t notice.
Song Jin hurriedly got up from Qin Chi''s lap.
He walked around the desk and walked outside.
Qin Chi unhurriedly adjusted his clothes, restored his usual gentlemanly posture, stood up and walked around the table towards his wife.

At this time, Song Jin hugged Niu Niu and asked, "Why did you find her? Have you finished your breakfast?"
"I''m done eating. I''m full."
Niuniu also patted her round belly.
Song Jin was so cute by the little guy that she felt so soft-hearted that she didn''t even notice Qin Chi coming over. She was about to walk out with Niu Niu in her arms, but Qin Chi stretched out his hand to stop him.
At this moment, Qin Chi realized something was wrong.
The wife''s scant attention to him seemed to have been transferred to the child? It was as if the deep affection between the two of them just now didn''t exist.
Qin Chi was struggling with this matter.
He didn''t know that outside, news about him and Song Jin spread like a frying pan again.
There are many people in the capital paying attention to Qin Chi''s movements.
Qin Chi went to ask for leave, and someone over there investigated the reason.
I knew that something bad happened when Song Jin came to the capital from Huizhou with his children. According to the news from the Yamen, he was ambushed on the way to the capital.
The people of a village were involved.
This is no small matter.
Everyone thought that a group of gangsters intercepted and "killed" Qin Qi''an''s wife and children on the way, including Qin Chi and Song Jin. They didn''t know that the group went to great lengths just to catch them.
But who actually knows this?
Even if they knew, no one would care.
There were many officials in the six government offices discussing this matter.
"Qin Qi''an is so hateful."
one official lamented.
Another echoed: "That''s not it. Who has his luck? I heard that His Majesty rewarded him with a token, allowing him to enter the palace to meet the saint at any time."
"Is this true?"
"Pearls are not as real as it."
Others looked at the official who spoke.
Not many people knew about this matter, so they couldn''t stand it because this official had a relative who was working in the palace. When everyone looked at him, he knew he was talking too much and immediately shut up.
Xia Wei reached out and hooked the official, "Come here and tell me what''s going on?"
"Xia Shangshu." The official came forward to please him.
When asked by Xia Wei, the official could only say: "There was a big fuss in Dongcheng last time. I heard that Qin Shaoqing was injured by a royal guard..."
To put it bluntly, Emperor Cheng of Ming Dynasty learned that Qin Chi was almost assassinated by Jin Yiwei, so he threw a token as compensation. In fact, officials of the fourth rank and above are already qualified to enter the palace to meet the saint.
Having a token is a little more convenient.
Its symbolic meaning is more than its actual purpose.
Officials in the court were speculating that the matter brought out by Qin Chi had not yet been resolved. When the investigation was completed and rewards were given based on merit, Qin Chi''s official position might be promoted.
