Chapter 114 Saving Life
Qin Dezhao gritted his teeth and looked at Bai Qingyan with red eyes: “What do you mean by Miss Bai? Qin doesn’t understand.”
“It doesn’t matter if Marquis Zhongyong doesn’t understand. Soon… King Liang will make you understand!” Bai Qingyan didn’t want to waste time talking to Qin Dezhao. He stood up, handed the silk to Xiao Ruojiang, and ordered him to put it into the food box.
“Lord Zhongyong, take care of yourself!”
Seeing Bai Qingyan was about to leave, Qin Dezhao’s palms tightened and he shouted, “Miss Bai!”
But Bai Qingyan didn’t stop walking, Qin Dezhao’s heart started to panic, and he was no longer as calm and composed as before.
He staggered to his feet and rushed to the door, but he could only see Bai Qingyan’s determined back as he left. It seemed that he really didn’t want to know anything from him or trick him into giving him anything.
Qin Dezhao panicked for a moment, holding onto the railing with both hands, and shouted, “Bai Qingyan! I am Qin Lang’s father and Bai Jinxiu’s father-in-law! If something happens to me… do you think the two of them can get away?!”
Bai Qingyan paused after hearing these words. She turned around, the light flickering in and out of focus, so deep and gloomy that no one could see the bottom of it. “So, thanks to the disturbance made by the wife of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, my Bai family went to such great lengths to get them to move out of the Loyal and Brave Marquis’s mansion! Qin Lang has the praise of His Majesty and the Queen, and he has put this list before his family, and my grandmother, the Grand Princess, has come forward to guarantee him… Qin Lang is now the well-deserved Loyal and Brave Marquis. In the future, I will definitely let my second sister thank the wife of the Loyal and Brave Marquis…”
Qin De’s eyes were red with anger: “Bai Qingyan! You… you have such a cruel heart! You actually want Qin Langzi to sue his father! This is extremely unfilial!”
“Vicious?!” Bai Qingyan’s brows were filled with an unfathomable coldness. “You guys played tricks and schemes in the imperial capital to satisfy your own selfish desires, causing how many men of our Jin State to die in the southern border?! They were originally passionate about defending their country, but they did not die under the weapons of the enemy, but died in the selfish calculations of you kings and dukes. Hundreds of thousands of men… who will fulfill their filial piety?! Do you count on you, my Lord?!”
After calming down a little, Bai Qingyan turned his head and stared ahead, saying, “In terms of viciousness… I can’t even compare to the Marquis.”
After saying that, Bai Qingyan took Nanny Tong, Xiao Ruohai, and the two brothers Xiao Ruojiang and walked out of the prison.
Qin Dezhao was in a panic at this time. He was eager to meet with the King of Liang’s people to plead his case, but he was afraid that the King of Liang’s people would come and kill him…
He had to meet King Liang’s people before Qin Lang handed over the list, so… that he could save his life!
However, this Prince Liang… everyone in the world knows that he is the most cowardly and incompetent prince of His Majesty, but deep down… he is a very cruel person.
Originally, it was King Liang’s idea to let Qin Dezhao deal with Li Sanhai and others.
King Liang said that only the dead… could keep a secret completely.
A layer of sticky sweat immediately formed on Qin Dezhao’s palms, and a chill ran down his spine.
The red seal and iron certificate could not save his life from the hands of King Liang.
Moreover, if he died in this prison, no one would suspect the cowardly and incompetent King Liang.
Bai Qingyan came to see him today, not asking about the whereabouts of the food and grass, but actually wanted to… take his life? !
Qin Dezhao closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. How could he save his life? ! How… to save his life!
At the gate of Dali Temple Prison.
Nanny Tong came out of the Dali Temple prison with a food box in one hand and Bai Qingyan, who was wearing a black cloak, supported by the other. After taking two steps, Nanny Tong tripped… The food box fell on her back, and the paper, ink, brush and inkstone inside fell out.
Xiao Ruohai exclaimed and hurriedly picked up the brocade that was almost stained by ink. Seeing that the brocade was stained with ink and he used his sleeve to wipe it off, he frowned and showed it to Bai Qingyan.
Gao Sheng, a subordinate of King Liang who was standing in the dark, looked from afar… and saw some words densely written on the brocade. He moved his ears and closed his eyes to listen carefully.
“Shen Xiyao’s name has been tarnished. Why don’t you go back home first, young lady, and I’ll make a new copy and have Qin Dezhao sign it again?” Xiao Ruohai said.
“Never mind, it’s just a little dirty. If we go in and get discovered, there will inevitably be more trouble. Let’s go back!”
Having said that, Bai Qingyan walked down the steps and got on the carriage.
Gao Sheng hid himself around the corner and waited until the simple carriage went away before he hurriedly caught up.

When the people heard that the Dali Temple had surrounded the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and arrested Qin Dezhao and took him to the Dali Temple, they all felt that it was fortunate that the second daughter of the Bai family and Qin Lang had moved out of the mansion, so they were able to avoid being implicated this time.
There were also people who were relatives of the Dali Temple’s prison supervisor and heard that the prefect of Zhancheng claimed that the grain and fodder shipped to the southern Xinjiang frontier was soaked by rain and when it was opened, it was found to be all buckwheat husks. This memorial arrived a month ago but was suppressed by Prince Xin. It was not delivered to the emperor until yesterday evening. The emperor was very angry and ordered a thorough investigation of the grain and fodder issue.
Qin Lang, who was accompanying his wife in mourning for the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion, looked at Nanny Wu, who was kneeling at his feet and crying uncontrollably. He stood with his hands behind his back, and no emotion could be seen between her clear and handsome features.
That day, the wife of Marquis Zhongyong, Jiang Fengchun, was sent away by Marquis Zhongyong Qin Dezhao. Before leaving, Jiang Fengchun begged to keep her confidante, Nanny Wu, and asked Nanny Wu to take care of her one son and two daughters.
After all, they had been married for many years. Seeing Jiang Fengchun crying uncontrollably while holding her son, Qin Dezhao thought that she was just a nanny who took care of her son and daughter’s daily life, so he agreed.
The mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was in trouble. Seeing that the Dali Temple surrounded the mansion and no one was allowed to enter or leave, Nanny Wu thought quickly and borrowed the power of the Bai Mansion and said that she wanted to send Qin Lang some newly made clothes, so she was allowed to leave.
Although Qin Lang moved out of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion and asked for the title of Prince, he was still the eldest son of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion. The guards surrounding the Qin family thought that Qin Lang was the son-in-law of the Bai family and was just a servant delivering clothes, so they ordered people to follow him all the way.
“The Dali Temple is surrounding the mansion and no one is allowed to enter or leave. The young master is so scared that he keeps crying, and the two girls are at a loss! I beg the eldest young master to save your sister and brother for the fact that the lady has treated you well over the years!”
Under the stone lions at the main entrance of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion, Nanny Wu knelt in front of Qin Lang, her head bruised.
“Madam Wu, I am no longer the eldest son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. I am just a commoner… I have the will but not the power. Instead of begging me here, you might as well ask my mother’s family, the Jiang family. Maybe there is still room for them.” Qin Lang said slowly.
“The eldest young master can be saved! He can be saved! His Majesty still values the Bai family very much. As long as the eldest young master asks the eldest princess to say a word in front of His Majesty, it will be more effective than anything else!” Nanny Wu looked at Qin Lang with expectation.
When Bai Jinxiu heard this, she became furious and was about to stand up, but was held down by Bai Jintong.
“Third sister?!” Bai Jinxiu turned her head to look at Bai Jintong with doubtful eyes.
