The dinner was dull.
Although there was the arrangement of the second Miss Qin's marriage, the first two things Qin Wenzhen mentioned, especially the resignation of the title, made everyone in the Qin family feel very uncomfortable.
Without the title, they have no confidence when going out to meet people.
As for doing business, studying, making friends, serving as an official, etc., they will be greatly affected.
So everyone was worried and distressed.
Qin Wen Zheng saw that no one had the appetite to eat, and the brothers were absent-minded when drinking, so after eating for a while, he let everyone go in a hurry.
Everyone dispersed unhappy.
Luo Qingzhou packed a few chicken legs and some snacks. When he was about to leave, Qin Wenzheng suddenly called him: "Qingzhou, you and Weimo wait for a moment. I have something to tell you."
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to wait in his seat.
After everyone has left.
Qin Wenzheng said to him, "Qingzhou, come out for a moment and talk in the corridor."
Song Ruyue was still sitting at the table without moving.
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to follow him out and stood behind him respectfully.
Miss Qin Er, supported by Qiu'er, followed them out and stood not far away, watching them.
Song Ruyue immediately stood up, followed stealthily to the door, and stood there with her ears perked up to eavesdrop.
Qin Wenzheng was silent for a while, then turned around and said, "Qingzhou, you should have understood what happened tonight. I will resign the title and the position of the head of the Qin family. By then, our Qin Mansion may be an ordinary family. Some of our properties will also be handed over to your second uncle and others to manage. So, I want to ask, if you pass the imperial examination in the future, will you despise our Qin family?"
Song Ruyue, who was eavesdropping at the door, immediately stretched her neck, stuck her head out, held her breath, and pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.
Miss Qin Er, standing under the eaves, looked at the bright silver moon in the night sky with soft eyes, and said secretly in her heart: Of course my brother-in-law won't.
Luo Qingzhou immediately replied respectfully: "What are you talking about, father-in-law? Everything Qingzhou has today was given by the Qin Mansion. Even if Qingzhou can pass the imperial examination in the future, it is also the credit of the Qin Mansion. Without the Qin Mansion, Qingzhou's food, accommodation, transportation, and even survival would become a problem. How could he have the opportunity to study and take exams with peace of mind? What's more, Qingzhou is now a member of the Qin Mansion. No matter what the Qin Mansion becomes in the future, Qingzhou is a member of the Qin family and will never change. How could he dislike it?"
After these words were spoken, Song Ruyue, who was hiding at the door and eavesdropping, said secretly in her heart: Humph, this brat still has some conscience, I won’t throw his stinky shoes at him in the future.
Qin Wenzheng nodded with satisfaction: "Qingzhou, I believe in your character, there is absolutely no problem. Otherwise, I would not have prepared to hand over the Qin family's assets and the Qin Mansion to you yesterday."
After a pause, he suddenly sighed and said, "Qingzhou, I know that you have been a little wronged since you married into my Qin Mansion. Jianjia, that girl, left the mansion for a few years, and her temperament changed after she came back. Even your mother-in-law and I couldn't communicate with her. So I know that you must have suffered a lot from her. When I let her get married, it was actually for her sake. Who knew, alas, it still didn't work. Qingzhou, tell me the truth today, do you have feelings for Jianjia...?"
Under the eaves not far away, Miss Qin II looked over here.
Bai Ling was standing by the railing on the other side, also looking over here.
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then he bowed and said, "Father-in-law, I haven't suffered much grievance since I married into the Qin family. I'm living much better here than in Chengguo Mansion. As for the eldest lady, she's also very nice to me. She's never insulted or scolded me, and she's never let me suffer any grievances. She has a cold personality and doesn't like to talk or communicate with others, which is actually understandable. I think... the eldest lady is very good."
There was a brief silence in the corridor.
Qin Wenzheng nodded slightly and said in a gentle voice: "Jianjia is indeed okay. No matter who she is, she is always cold and indifferent, but she has never embarrassed others. But you are her husband, she really shouldn't treat you like that. And I heard that she only allows you to have sex with her once a month, is that right?"
Luo Qingzhou turned his head slightly and glanced at Bailing over there.
When Bailing saw him looking at her, she immediately turned her head and looked away.
Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and said respectfully: "Father-in-law, the eldest lady may not be in good health. In Qingzhou's opinion, there is nothing wrong with having sex once a month. Qingzhou is now concentrating on studying and doesn't really care about other things."
Qin Wenzheng smiled gently and said, "Qingzhou, we are a family. There is no need to say polite words. If a husband and wife are cold and indifferent, never communicate, and do not live together, what kind of husband and wife are they? Qingzhou, can you tell me the truth, do you have feelings for Jianjia? Don't worry, even if you don't have feelings, you are still a member of my Qin family."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and replied, "Father-in-law, Qingzhou's respect for the young lady is more than a love between husband and wife. As for feelings, there should be some."
After saying this, Qin Wenzheng glanced at Song Ruyue at the door, then glanced at the weak girl under the eaves not far away, and suddenly smiled and said, "Qingzhou, love is not something you can just say. So, let me ask you, have you ever thought about living with Jianjia, or, have you ever thought about having a child with Jianjia?"
Bailing looked over again.
Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then said respectfully: "The eldest lady has a cold personality. If we live together..."
"Qingzhou, don't worry about Jianjia for now. I'm asking you now, do you really want to live with her, live together as an equal, and have a child with her? Just tell us what's in your heart, it's okay."
Qin Wen Zheng interrupted him and encouraged him in a kind manner.
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then replied, "Yes."
If he lived with Miss Qin and became a real couple, then Bailing would naturally not be able to escape.
Of course, there might also be Xia Chan.
Miss Qin is so beautiful, and there are two such lovely and pretty girls, why wouldn't he be interested
As long as you are a man, no one would not want to.
The corridor fell into a brief silence again.
Qin Wenzheng frowned, pondered for a while, and said directly: "Qingzhou, actually, I asked you these questions today just to know whether you feel that this kind of married life is too aggrieved and too unhappy. If you feel that Jianjia is not suitable for you, actually..."
"Father-in-law."
Luo Qingzhou immediately bowed and said, "Qingzhou doesn't think that the eldest lady is not suitable for me. On the contrary, Qingzhou feels that being able to marry the eldest lady is the greatest blessing in Qingzhou's life. As for your father-in-law worrying about Qingzhou being wronged and unhappy, it is completely unnecessary. Qingzhou is quite satisfied with his current life, and Qingzhou also feels that his current life is quite happy. Therefore, your father-in-law does not need to worry about anything."
Qin Wenzheng: “…”
He looked at his wife at the door, his lips moved, and he was about to speak, but the girl under the eaves suddenly spoke softly: "Dad, it's getting late, let brother-in-law go back first. If there is anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow. Xia Chan and the others haven't eaten yet, and brother-in-law brought them food."
Qin Wenzheng frowned and looked at her, paused for a moment, and nodded, "Qingzhou, then you go back first. If there is anything, I will send someone to find you. Study hard in your room and strive to pass the high school entrance examination next autumn. If that happens, our Qin family will not need any titles, and you are enough."
Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou suddenly felt a lot heavier on his shoulders. He bowed his head and said respectfully, "Father-in-law, I'll take my leave now."
When he reached the steps at the door, he quickly bowed his head and said to the beautiful woman at the door: "Mother-in-law, Qingzhou is leaving first."
Song Ruyue had a cold face and turned her body away. Just when she was about to snort and ignore him, she suddenly remembered something and quickly turned her body back. She forced a smile on her face and said, "Well, go back and have a good rest. By the way, Qingzhou, Jianjia won't live with you. Do you have enough maids? If not, I'll let Mi'er and Mei'er come over to serve you tomorrow. They can all be your maids."
Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou looked up at her in surprise. When their eyes met, he heard the mother-in-law's inner thoughts: Damn it, why did I give in! I won't! I can't give in! I am his mother-in-law. Even if he is cunning and scheming, even if he will be the top scorer in the imperial examination in the future, what can he do to me? Can he really sell me out secretly? Even if he is given a hundred more courage, he won't dare! I am not afraid of him!
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"Thank you, mother-in-law, but I only have Xiaodie, so I don't need any other maids."
Song Ruyue smiled and said, "Oh, really? That's enough? Well, you can come to me anytime you want. There are plenty of maids at home. You are tired from studying, so you should ask for a few more maids to serve you and give you massages. Don't be shy about asking. We are family, so we don't talk nonsense. If you need anything in the future, you can come to my mother-in-law. Don't be polite to her."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
He hurriedly thanked him again, not daring to stay any longer, bowed, stepped down the stairs, and turned to leave.
Bailing hurried out of the corridor and followed him, walking with a skipping and jumping manner, her skirt fluttering, and two sweet dimples appearing on her face.
The corridor was quiet for a long time.
After a while, Miss Qin said softly, "Dad, Mom, Wei Mo has gone back first."
Song Ruyue immediately came out of the house, held her hand and comforted her softly: "Silly girl, don't be sad, it's okay, others may not love you, but mother will always love you."
Qin Weimo smiled softly: "Mother, Weimo is not sad. Weimo actually knew it in his heart a long time ago."
Qin Wenzheng suddenly spoke up: "What do you think that boy meant? Jianjia treated him like that, and he said that. Is he really infatuated with Jianjia? Does he really have feelings for Jianjia? But, he and Weimo are so compatible, and they have the same interests and hobbies, and yet he treated Weimo... like that."
Qin Weimo lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
Song Ruyue frowned, her eyes flickered for a moment, and suddenly her face changed: "I know!"
As soon as these words came out, both the father and daughter looked at her.
Song Ruyue suddenly sneered and gritted her teeth and said, "I understand! I finally understand! Well, that brat is really despicable, cunning, greedy, and unworthy of a son-in-law! He deliberately said that he had feelings for Jianjia and that he couldn't let Jianjia go. He is not honest and loyal at all, and he doesn't want either of them at all. He actually wants... to get both sisters!"
"He wants to take our two precious daughters of the Qin family into the room! Shameless little thief!!!"
Qin Wenzheng: “…”
