Chapter 54 Qin Erzhu Marries into the Family

Qin Zhen has recovered well in the past few days. Except for the fractured part that needs to be healed slowly, the other abrasions have also formed scars. Song Rou has been here with the two sisters these days, telling them jokes and chatting with them. Qin Zhen has also forgotten a lot of psychological trauma.

Qin Zhi ordered several ancient-style dresses on Pinduoduo for Song Rou to change and wash. Song Rou loved these clothes very much.

Song Rou happened to be on her menstrual period and was feeling uncomfortable. Qin Zhi remembered that she had stored a lot of sanitary napkins and comfort pants in her space. She took out a few packs and gave them to Song Rou, and introduced the differences and usage methods of daily use, night use, panty liners, and comfort pants. Song Rou felt like she had opened a new world. Everything she encountered in the past few days was something she had never seen before. It was just that such a good thing could only be used once. Qin Zhi also gave her a lot of knowledge about physiological hygiene and the prevention and treatment of gynecological diseases. She and Qin Zhen listened very carefully.

After staying together for another two days, Song Rou also wanted to go home. Qin Zhi was grateful for Song Rou's help that day, and prepared a lot of things for Song Rou, all of which were bought from foreign merchants.

Sanitary napkins are indispensable. Qin Zhi bought 100 boxes at that time, and she gave half of them to Song Rou. She also gave a few boxes of toilet paper and tissue paper. Song Rou also used these papers during the few days she stayed at Qin's house. They were hundreds of times better than the usual toilet paper. Song Rou planned to give some of these good things to her grandmother and aunt. Qin Zhi also packed some soap, shampoo, shower gel, and even prepared a few bottles of perfume.

Qin Zhi also packed a box of toothpaste of several flavors and prepared a lot of toothbrushes, and told her to brush her teeth morning and evening.

In short, Qin Zhi prepared all the daily necessities that could be thought of for Song Rou, and told her to let her know when she had used them up, and she would take care of all these things in the future.

Song Rou was the daughter of a military commander, and inherited her father's straightforward personality. She readily accepted all of Qin Zhi's efforts, and was not as shy and pretentious as other ladies from wealthy families.

After Song Rou left, Zhan Xiao came over with an unhappy look on his face.

"I finally squeezed out time to see you, but you spent the whole day hanging out with Miss Song," Zhan Xiao said with dissatisfaction.

Qin Zhi looked at this man who was more than ten years older than him and was jealous of a girl. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But thinking of Zhan Xiao rushing back overnight, he asked, "What's the matter with you guys coming back this time? You and your uncle have been leaving early and coming back late these days."

"We didn't want to let you know originally, but since you asked, I want to ask for your opinion." Zhan Xiao paused for a moment, and then continued, "Our Qingzhou Prefecture is the fief of the King of Huainan. We received a secret report from a spy that someone was privately manufacturing weapons deep in the heart of Daliang Mountain. The spy found out there was an iron mine there. A while ago, the spy was caught by the King of Huainan. We came here to celebrate the birthday of the Queen of Huainan, but secretly we were ordered to rescue the spy."

"So what information did you find out?" Qin Zhi asked.

Zhan Xiao shook his head and said, "The terrain of that place is dangerous. One man can block the way for ten thousand men. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Our people couldn't get in and were almost exposed."

"Okay, I got it. I'll help you check it out myself tomorrow." Qin Zhi smiled with mysterious confidence.

Qin Zhi and Zhan Xiao went to the restaurant to eat together. It happened that Shen Changzhou and Qin Zhi's parents were there. It was obvious that they had said something before the two of them came in. The atmosphere between the three of them was not right.

"I agree to marry into the family," Qin Erzhu finally uttered these two words after holding it in for a long time.

Shen Changzhou looked at Qin Erzhu's determined eyes and asked again, "You have to think clearly. Once you marry into the family, Xiaozhen and Xiaozhi will no longer have the surname Qin, but our Shen family's surname."

"I've thought about it. This is great. It will have nothing to do with the Qin family, and they won't dare to find excuses to plot against the two sisters," Qin Erzhu replied.

"Okay, then I'll accompany you to the yamen this afternoon." Shen Changzhou said.

In the afternoon, Shen Changzhou and Qin Erzhu went to the government office, while Qin Zhize and Zhan Xiao went to a place called Baiyun Villa outside the city to investigate.

This Baiyun Villa is an estate of the King of Huainan, who comes here every autumn to celebrate the birthday of his queen.

Qin Zhi and Zhan Xiao took a tour and found that the villa was really difficult to explore. The wall of the entire villa was more than five meters high, and there was a guard standing guard almost every hundred meters. No matter which section they entered from, they would easily be exposed.

Suddenly, Qin Zhi noticed that there was an underground river under a section of the wall.

"Can you swim?" Qin Zhi asked.

Zhan Xiao snorted coldly, "You underestimate me too much."

"Okay, now we have the chance, let's go in from there," Qin Zhi pointed to the wall. It was obvious that this place was camouflaged. The underground river must have been paved with hard boards, and then the wall was built, and the ground was camouflaged with mud.

The two of them searched along the camouflaged ground, and soon they found a small river winding towards Baiyun Villa.

This underground river only has a small branch leading to Baiyun Villa. It is only two meters wide and should not be more than five meters deep.

Qin Zhi and Zhan Xiao waited there until it was dark, and then they jumped into the water one by one. The water was quite turbulent, but they could still handle it.

When the two swam into the villa, the underground river was directly exposed in a yard. It seemed that outsiders could not enter this yard.

Continue drifting forward and you will find that the undercurrent ends at the villa at the water dungeon.

Several people who looked like prisoners were chained and thrown into the dungeon, and they all looked like they would not live long.

Zhan Xiao glanced over and gasped.

Those people were all covered in scars, their clothes were covered in blood. The whip marks on their chests were minor, but the more shocking scars left by the branding irons were more serious.

"General Song," Zhan Xiao was shocked. General Song had died on the battlefield more than twelve years ago. In the battle of Yuanzhou, countless heroes died. Zhan Xiao was just fifteen years old at that time, and his father, General Zhan, took him to the battlefield. Zhan Xiao was almost stabbed by the Japanese pirates' bayonet. It was General Song who pushed him away, but he himself was stabbed and fell to the ground. Later, they retreated and waited for reinforcements. When the reinforcements arrived at the battlefield with them, the ground was a sea of ​​fire. All the bodies were burned by the Japanese pirates with oil, and there was no way to verify the identity of the dead.

The army reported the number of casualties based on the missing persons and sent them back to their respective hometowns.

Qin Zhi quickly took off a small hairpin from her head, and used the pointed end to twist it around the keyhole of the chain, and soon the chain was opened.

Zhan Xiao supported General Song and led him out of the water dungeon, temporarily letting him lie against the wall.

Zhan Xiao looked at the prisoners in the water dungeon again, and Zhan Xiao recognized almost all of them. They were basically the new military generals in recent years, the soldiers who performed exceptionally well in the war against Japan, and all of them were loyal and brave knights. This King Huainan was really bold.
