Chapter 66: Chapter 68 Miss Eldest’s Thoughtful Ironing Chapter 66: Chapter 68 Miss Eldest’s Thoughtful Ironing For the Emperor to judge cases and determine guilt, Qin Liuxi herself is part of those wronged and unjust cases; she naturally empathizes deeply. The honest truth is, if the Emperor trusts you, even mistakes can be overlooked, but if not, even your breathing might be considered a fault.
This is the authority of the Emperor, supre and absolute.
Qi Qian sensed her disdain for imperial power from her tone, his expression growing sowhat sullen.
“Xi Zheng’s facial features suggest that his parents’ palace is sunken, indicative of losing paternal and maternal love. His eyebrows higher on the right signify the loss of his father before his mother. When I conducted the Taisu Pulse thod on her brother, it indicated that their father t a violent death,” Qin Liuxi’s voice was extrely cold.
Qi Qian caught his breath: “Are you saying Xi Penghai did not commit suicide but was murdered?”
Qin Liuxi spread her hands, returning to her capricious deanour: “I don’t know, there are many types of violent deaths, but as a fourth-rank general, there are rumors of him fleeing in battle. Could it be his military rits were seized from others to ascend to his position?”
This statent appeared to dean Xi Penghai, but in reality, it was ant to exonerate him. How could Xi Penghai, who reached the rank of a fourth-rank general, truly rely solely on seizing military rits? Would soone who genuinely earned their military rits flee in battle?
Qi Qian fell into deep thought.
Qin Liuxi yawned, her eyes half-closed.
Qi Qian tentatively asked, “Doctor Qin, can the Taisu Pulse thod really predict good or bad fortune?”
Qin Liuxi, with a smile, countered: “Why, Young Master Qi, do you want this God Stick to predict your fortune? How curious, for a noble such as you, shouldn’t you uphold the wisdom of not discussing strange forces and gods?”
Qi Qian replied, “While it is said to not discuss strange forces and gods, there are those who believe in the Dao and Buddha, otherwise, why would Da Feng have its Buddhist temples and Taoist sects? I do not speak of them, yet I know how to respect beliefs.”
Qin Liuxi was pleased with this answer and raised an entirely unrelated question: “So, Young Master Qi, what is your view on the family tragedy of a father killing his own father?”
Qi Qian: “?”
What kind of question is that?
“Forget it, I’m going back to sleep; I have been on the road for two days and haven’t slept well, I am truly tired.” Qin Liuxi lay down and closed her eyes.
Seeing this, Qi Qian beca uncomfortably restrained, wondering how soone could be so oblivious to others.
Qin Liuxi lay on her side, her lips barely forming a faint sigh; noble indeed, but her fate…
anwhile at Qin Mansion.
Mrs. Wang, looking at the cotton fabrics that Li Dagui had brought back, was sowhat surprised and said, “Chief Li, I don’t recall asking you to purchase these…”
Li Dagui, bowing slightly, respectfully responded, “My apologies, Lady, this was ordered by the young Miss. You might not be aware, but autumn in Li City is quite short, and winter arrives quickly. It is already August, and the weather is getting cooler. The young Miss feared not being able to prepare in ti, thus she ordered to purchase them early and have the winter clothing and bedding ready.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Wang sighed in admiration of Qin Liuxi’s thorough and considerate nature, saying, “The child has taken the trouble; tell how much silver it all costs, and I will provide you with it.”
“There’s no need to worry, Lady, the accounts are already settled. The accounts were handled through Qi Huang as instructed by the young Miss,” Li Dagui explained, smiling. “Before the young Miss departed, she instructed that house purchases be charged to Qi Huang’s account. You only need to continue arranging the distribution, or if you have any specific orders, just instruct to handle them.”
Mrs. Wang understood that she need not provide the silver herself, rely manage the distribution.
Looking at the goods filling the courtyard, Mrs. Wang fell into deep thought. Where did Qin Liuxi get the silver from?
