Chapter 1456: Chapter 1456: Won’t arouse suspicion, right?

"Oh, oh yes."

Several people echoed in unison and donned the clothes exchanged from the beggars in the town.

Even though they smelled, it was still much better than being constantly hunted down and killed, wasn’t it?

...

Shaohua City.

Qin Luoyin thought for a long time, but still couldn’t help but beg Zhe Jue to take her to the Qin Residence secretly to catch a glimpse of her mother.

Indeed, just as Zhe Jue had said, her mother was living comfortably in the Qin Residence, well-cared-for with her two sons, especially when Luoyin and Zhe Jue were stealthily watching from outside as Family Head Qin, her father, coincidentally visited her mother.

"Family Head, what brings you here at this time?"

The woman greeted Family Head Qin with a coy smile as he arrived.

"Is it that damned girl causing you trouble again? She’s so clueless. You’re her father; even if you asked her to die, she would have to oblige obediently, wouldn’t she?"

Qin Luoyin, listening from outside, heard that soft voice from her memories, now paired with those grating words, and almost couldn’t stand upright anymore.

Was this really her mother? Speaking of her like that in front of her father, was this the same mother who used to defend her at every turn? It wasn’t anymore, was it?

Perhaps, she never was from the very start!

"Luoyin is now in Prince Mo’s Mansion, and there are many to appease. Tomorrow, have someone by your side send her some silver," Family Head Qin instructed the woman.

"What?!"

The woman was taken aback upon hearing this and exclaimed in shock.

"You’re still sending that damned girl silver? Family Head, aren’t you being too kind to her?"

"What do you know?"

Family Head Qin glared at her impatiently.

"Prince Mo’s Mansion has always been heavily guarded. Neither the Qin Residence nor Her Highness Princess Consort Lian or even the Emperor’s entourage have managed to place anyone properly inside. Now that Luoyin has gained entry, can we afford to have her do nothing? Right now is when Her Highness Princess Consort Lian and the Emperor need her most. Send her some silver to help her build up her influence in Prince Mo’s Mansion and gather more information to bring back."

"Yes, Family Head, I will have someone take care of it tomorrow," the woman responded dutifully.

"Then... Family Head, how much silver would be appropriate to send?"

"Start with ten thousand taels,"

Family Head Qin thought for a moment and said.

"Hiss!"

The woman gasped at the mention of ten thousand taels, her face full of reluctance.

"Family Head, that damned girl has always thought I was suffering and toiling away at the Qin Residence. If we suddenly give her ten thousand taels, won’t she start to suspect something? Perhaps we should give a little less..."

In fact, she begrudged handing over her own silver.

Although the Family Head often sent her various things and she lived rather comfortably, the idea of giving silver to that wasteful damned girl just felt wrong.

"When I say send it, just send it. What’s with the fuss?" Family Head Qin glared at her again.

"Isn’t Luoyin sensible enough to not truly believe the silver came from you if one of your people delivers it?"

"Yes, yes, you are right, Family Head," the woman quickly agreed.

"Also, along with the silver, have one of your people secretly slip Luoyin a letter. You should know what to write in it, don’t you?" Family Head Qin looked at her and inquired.

"I know, I know, I understand what to write," the woman quickly assured.

Just pour out her grievances; she’d been doing it for years. How could she not know how to write it? She could write several pages with her eyes closed.
