Chapter 747 Confirming Eyes
Qin Yao and her daughter walked in front, happily sharing the fragrant meat buns.
The carriage was driving slowly behind him, and there were at least a dozen eyes all around watching every move on the carriage. They were secretly guarding the carriage on the overpass, on the roof, and beside the road.
From time to time, their eyes glanced at the crowd, and someone accidentally moved closer to the carriage. Immediately, "passers-by" pushed aside these people who were close to the carriage.
It's so obvious. If Qin Yao still doesn't notice it, the ten years of training in the last days will be in vain.
He lowered his head and wanted to ask his daughter, who was eating meat buns with great interest, if she knew the name of Xu Jiajia's aunt.
As soon as the words reached the tip of my tongue, a girl's sharp cry suddenly came from beside me.
“Liu Pingling!”
Si Niang turned around in surprise and saw that Xu Jiajia was lying on the window frame of the carriage and calling her with a smile.
Qin Yao also raised her head and looked over, looking straight through Xu Jiajia's delicate and white face, looking at the Xu family's aunt behind her with half of her face exposed.
The woman with gray temples seemed to feel something and turned her head to look over.
Those are a pair of brown eyes full of majesty, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes add a bit of determination. He is a high-ranking person who holds the power of life and death.
She was just taking a casual glance, curious about what the child's new friends and family were like.
But the moment he met the young woman's eyes, an invisible mysterious magnetic field suddenly appeared, tightly intertwining their souls, causing their souls to tremble at the same time!
This tremor came fiercely, Qin Yao hurriedly clenched her fists to restrain it, and then adjusted her expression to keep her expression quiet.
The old woman in the carriage did not react as quickly as she did. Her usually calm face showed a look of extreme shock. She stayed there for at least two or three seconds before she reacted and calmed down her emotions.
But her hands hanging on her knees had her fingertips dug into her palms.
“Xu Jiajia, Granny Xu.” Siniang called politely.
Xu Wenqing, who was in the car, nodded lightly at her in response.
Raising his eyes, his eyes fell on Qin Yao again, staring closely, a little eagerly, as if he wanted to confirm something.
Qin Yao had lowered her eyes and led her daughter away, leaving her with only a tall and straight back.
It was like the sudden trembling in her soul just now, but it was only one-sided.
No!
She is sure that she is the same!
Xu Wenqing took a deep breath, tried to make her voice sound normal, and asked Xu Jiajia, who was happily talking to herself next to her: "Is that Liu Pingling's stepmother?"
Xu Jiajia nodded, "Well, it should be."
“What's her stepmother's name?”
Xu Jiajia shook her head, "The surname is Qin, I don't know what it is called."
"What's wrong, grandma?" Xu Jiajia still noticed something was wrong with the old man next to her and asked with concern.
Xu Wenqing shook his head and said nothing.
Knowing that her aunt was thinking about something again, Xu Jiajia calmed down and concentrated on eating the meat buns. She thought to herself how happy she would be if Aunt Linwei was here.
Kuanzhengfang.
Mom and daughter Qin Yao stuffed the remaining meat buns into their mouths outside the house and smiled at each other, like two cats stealing food. After getting rid of the oily smell on their bodies, they stepped into the house with hidden pride.
“We are back!” Siniang shouted into the room and strode away.
Liu Ji was the first to look over, and with sharp eyes he saw a little foam on the mouths of the mother and daughter. He thought to himself, OK, no wonder the short journey took so long, and they went out to eat good food behind their backs.
However, he didn't dare to expose the mother and daughter even if they didn't say anything. He just gave Qin Yao a resentful look, pointed at the cut melons on the table and said:
“It's almost time to let go of the heat. Wash your hands and serve it to the table. It's just waiting for you two.”
The mother and daughter smiled, quickly washed their hands and started eating.
When Siniang let go of Grandma's hand, she looked at the palm of her hand in confusion. The sweat in it was all from Grandma's hand sweat. She turned her head and glanced at Qin Yao. She didn't even wash her hands with soap!
"What's wrong?" Liu Ji came up and asked in a low voice.
His eyes never left Qin Yao's body. When he saw her washing her hands, she was so distracted that she didn't use the soap that she usually used. He immediately sensed something was wrong.
Qin Yao was obviously stunned. After a moment of hesitation, her eyes became brighter and she shook her head, "It's nothing. Let's start dinner."
Liu Ji responded, but glanced at her several times.
Qin Yao was holding on to the rice, not eating any vegetables. If Liu Ji hadn't put the vegetables in her bowl, she wouldn't have even stretched out her chopsticks.
Liu Ji was speechless, is this okay? Something must be wrong!
After dinner, watching Qin Yao wash up briefly and then return to the room, Liu Ji caught Siniang who was about to do her homework, pulled her to the side hall and whispered:
"What's wrong with your mother? What happened? Why is it so strange?"
Si Niang was confused, "I don't know, what's wrong with grandma?"
Well, the child didn't see anything wrong with her mother at all. Liu Ji sighed.
After thinking about it, Qin Yao's little flaws, if he didn't know her well enough, he really wouldn't have noticed.
Looking at his daughter's big eyes that were worried about her mother-in-law, Liu Ji changed the question and asked them who they met this evening and what they did.
This fourth lady knew about it and told her about how she met Xu Jiajia and her aunt came to pick her up after school in the evening.
By the way, I also talked about the sweat-stained hand that my mother-in-law just held.
Maybe it's hot, Si Niang thought.
"What's wrong?" Si Niang didn't understand. "Is there anything strange about this?"
Liu Jixin said, this is so strange!
Who can make Qin Yao so nervous that her hands sweat?
However, Liu Ji didn't want the child to worry too much, so he waved his hands and said perfunctorily: "It's nothing, it's probably your mother-in-law who has suffered from heatstroke and is a little weak. Go and do your homework. Children, don't worry about adults' things. "
Si Niang was worried and asked: "Dad, please make some mung bean soup for my mother to relieve the heat."
After giving instructions to her biological father like a young adult, and seeing him nodding in agreement, Si Niang went back to her room to do her homework.
Liu Ji sneaked to the door of Qin Yao's room and asked, "Madam, can I come in?"
There was no response from inside, but they didn't tell him to get out either. Liu Ji thought this was tacit consent.
So he put one hand in front of his face in a defensive posture to prepare for emergencies, and gently pushed the door open with the other hand.
“Hu~” There was no sudden attack, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
The room was pitch dark, Liu Ji skillfully reached to the table, blew the fire stick and lit the candlestick, and the room was instantly illuminated.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw Qin Yao sitting silently across the table, and managed to avoid jumping up in fright.
Pumping her chest and taking a deep breath to calm down, she sat down and asked in a low voice, "Six Niang said you met Xu Jiajia's little girl's aunt today?"
Qin Yao didn't hide it when he asked about it. She frowned slightly and said, "Her aunt is the queen."
Liu Ji was stunned, "Huh?" Who was she talking about?
“Gong Liangliao said that the empress's name is Xu Wenqing, and Xu Jiajia's surname is also Xu.”
Moreover, there are so many secretly skilled guards around, as well as an aunt Linwei who loves to eat meat buns but happens to be in the countryside to visit relatives and is not in the capital.
With so many coincidences coming together, the identity of the older woman in the carriage is almost revealed.
She is the Queen Xu Wenqing, who is also called the Holy Queen together with the Holy Emperor.
