Chapter 21: Guess Wrong
In the evening, Zhao Mansion.
"Xin'er, what do you think of the case of Li Hongqing and Miss Qin Er?" In the study room of the back house, Zhao Deyi asked Zhao Xin, who had come back from the academy, while leisurely sipping tea.
What happened in the living room of the Li family's mansion has already spread all over the town, Zhao Deyi wants to know Zhao Xin's opinion on this matter, for Zhao Xin, this incident is a valuable experience in her life.
"Dad, my daughter always feels that there are still doubts in this case, although my daughter has not had much contact with Li Hongyi, but he is in awe of Li Hongyi, so my daughter thinks that Li Hongqing will never dare to offend Miss Qin Er!"
Zhao Xin pondered for a moment, and replied solemnly, Qin Yue is Li Hongyi's cousin, how dare a villain like Li Hongyi be disrespectful to Qin Yue?
"You mean, Li Hongqing got the location of Miss Qin Er and that Rou'er residence on the map?" Zhao Deyi put down the teacup in his hand and asked quietly.
"It should be like this, my daughter thinks that Li Honggen will not make such an unforgivable mistake no matter what." Zhao Xin bowed slightly when she heard this, she doubted Qin Yue's statement that she was still violent to Li Hongqing after learning her identity, unless Li Hongqing was crazy to do such a stupid thing.
"Have you ever thought that this matter is related to the third lady and Qin De, Li Hongqing almost caused Li Hongyu to drown before, and the third lady must hate him to the core, so she wants to kill him!"
Zhao Deyi smiled slightly, looked at Zhao Xin meaningfully and asked, the "third lady" in his mouth naturally refers to the Zhao family.
"Dad, will Qin De ruin Miss Qin's reputation for a house?" Zhao Xin couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked in surprise, if the Zhao family and Qin De conspired to calculate Li Hongqing, the only exchange of interests between the two parties would be the mansion where Qin De lived now.
"This is just a speculation by my father, the world is sinister, people's hearts are unpredictable, since Li Honggen does not have the courage to offend Miss Qin Er, then the remaining seemingly impossible factors are the truth nine times out of ten."
Zhao Deyi shook his head, and the expression on his face became serious, "Xin'er, don't forget that the third young master is the only inheritor of the Li family's third room, if the third lady forces Qin Deteng's house now, then how can Qin De's face remain?" ”
"Yes...... What will Miss Qin Er do in the future? What big family would dare to marry her if something like this happened? Zhao Xin understood now, a mother would do anything to protect her son, so it would be Qin Yue, who was innocently implicated.
Moreover, Zhao Xin didn't believe that Qin De would sell Qin Yue for a house, could it be that Qin Yue was only worth a house?
"You also know the third young master's character, the current situation of the Li family's third room can be described as an orphan and widow, if the third young master can marry Qin Yue, then the Li family's third room property will fall into Qin De's hands."
Zhao Deyi opened his mouth to remind Zhao Xin when he heard this, "For the third lady, with the relationship of the Qin family, the third room of the Li family will no longer be excluded. ”
"If this is really the case, then Qin De is undoubtedly fooled, Dad heard someone say today, Miss Qin Er behaved neither humble nor arrogant in front of the county master today, she is a powerful woman, if she becomes the future mistress of the Li family's third room, then she will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Li family's third room property be swallowed up by others, even Qin De may not be able to get anything cheap from her."
Saying that, Zhao Deyi couldn't help laughing, "I'm afraid Qin Debai has been busy, and then the bamboo basket will be empty." ”
"Dad, is Miss Qin Er that powerful?" Zhao Xin didn't expect things to be so complicated, and then asked with some surprise.
According to Zhao Deyi's speculation, the Zhao family's target is Qin Yue, using the mansion and the Li family's three-room property to tempt Qin De in the name of Li Hongqing, but is Qin Yue worth such a big bet by the Zhao family?
"I heard that the second lady of the Qin family is a well-known local talented woman, not only has a good talent but also is extremely intelligent, and her mind is far beyond ordinary people."
Zhao Deyi bowed slightly when he heard this, and said to Zhao Xin with a smile, "If I were another woman, I'm afraid I would have been looking for death and life a long time ago, where would I be as calm as her, I have to say that the third lady is really powerful, and she has been holding Qin De's nose and walking." ”
Zhao Xin's face showed a thoughtful look, Zhao Deyi was right, if other women encountered such a humiliating thing, I am afraid that they would have been unable to cry after seeing Chen Yu, and it was really rare for Qin Yue to be able to maintain his composure.
"Yes...... Does Miss Qin Er look down on the third son? Subsequently, Zhao Xin couldn't help but raise the doubts in his heart, a person like Qin Yue is arrogant, how could he marry the timid and cowardly Li Hongyu!
"Marriage has always been the order of the parents, and the matchmaker said that if the father agrees to the family affair with the third son, she will be helpless."
Zhao Deyi smiled and said methodically, "Now that Miss Qin's reputation has been ruined, what big family in the world would dare to marry her?" ”
"It's a pity!" Zhao Xin nodded when she heard this, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, feeling sorry for Qin Yue for marrying a cowardly and useless person like Li Hongyu.
"If that's the case, Dad can rest assured." Zhao Deyi breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhao Xin with a smile, no matter how he said that he had a children's marriage contract with Li Renhai back then, he naturally didn't want to see the Li family's third room decay like this, and Qin Yue's secret plan was enough to keep the Li family's third room property.
Zhao Xin's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise, she couldn't understand Zhao Deyi's relieved words, in her impression, Zhao Deyi had nothing to do with the Li family, but vaguely felt that Zhao Deyi seemed to be very concerned about the Li family, especially the Li family's third room.
At this moment, how did Zhao Xin know that she had a marriage contract with Li Hongyu, who was timid and cowardly, and had no manhood, although Zhao Deyi wanted to repent of his marriage, he couldn't sit back and watch the third room of the Li family decay like this, after all, his old relationship with Li Renhai was still there, so he would definitely help him secretly.
Because he was implicated in the case of Li Hongqing and Qin Yue, Li Hongyu, who had long wanted to stay in Baihe Academy, took the opportunity to go home to prepare for the county exam and wait for Chen Yu to open the court to hear the case.
If it weren't for the fact that things were all over the city, Li Hongyu would have gone to Xiangyang City to play, and he would have kept a low profile before the case was closed, so as not to cause any trouble.
Li Hongyu didn't move back to the Li family's mansion, to his surprise, Qin Yue didn't move away but still stayed in the small courtyard next door, isn't she afraid of touching the scene?
To be honest, Li Hongyu feels that he is completely in prison now, and because of his banner, he can't go out and stays at home every day.
When he was bored, Li Hongyu asked Rou'er to find tools to make a violin by herself and prepare to play the violin to relieve boredom.
Speaking of which, it is thanks to the fact that Baihe Town is an important waterway transportation town, and there are many businesses in the town, otherwise it would be really difficult for Rou'er to find the tools that Li Hongyu needs.
"Young Master, what is this?" It was the first time Rou'er had seen a violin, and she couldn't help but ask curiously about Li Hongyu, who was adjusting the strings there.
"It's called the violin, which is similar to our erhu, it's a Xiyi instrument, and I once saw how it was made in a book, so I tried to make one."
Li Hongyu replied with a smile while adjusting the strings, now the violin has appeared in Europe and spread, but Da Ming knows nothing about it.
"Xiyi musical instruments?" Rou'er's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, as Li Hongyu's personal maid, she had never seen the book that Li Hongyu said recorded Xiyi musical instruments.
"Sister Rou'er, how do you listen to the timbre?" Li Hongyu didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, he had already adjusted the strings at this time, smiled and put the violin on his shoulder, and changed the topic.
"Hmm!" Rou'er nodded expectantly, wanting to see how this novel Xiyi instrument was played.
Li Hongyu took a deep breath, tried to find the correct sound area on the string with the bow a few times, and then concentrated on pulling the bow and playing.
As the bow slid on the strings, the sound of the turbulent piano immediately flowed through the room, and Rou'er was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on her face, she had never heard such a quiet and mournful tune, giving her a new experience.
Li Hongyu played "Liang Zhu", which is the most popular repertoire in later generations, and it is also his best song.
Soon, Rou'er was attracted by the novel and beautiful sound of the piano, and lay on the table with her chin in her hands and listened attentively to Li Hongyu's performance.
Not only Rou'er, but even the people in the courtyard were attracted by the sound of the piano, and quietly gathered outside the door to enjoy Li Hongyu's performance, with an intoxicated look on their faces.
At the same time, in the yard next door.
There were two maids standing outside the door of Qin Yue's boudoir, looking into the room with worried expressions.
In the room, Qin Yue sat at the table with a cold mask and cut a pile of dresses on the table with scissors, and the ground was already covered with a lot of shredded materials.
"Cut you, cut you!" Qin Yue had to whisper a word in her mouth every time she cut a knife, and the "you" in her mouth naturally referred to Li Hongqing, and now she hated Li Hongqing to death, and she couldn't wait to cut him with a thousand knives.
If Li Hongqing stood in front of her now, Qin Yue would definitely not hesitate to stab the scissors into Li Hongqing's heart, even if she killed Li Hongqing, it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in her heart, after all, her reputation had been damaged irreparably.
Suddenly, Qin Yue's willow eyebrows frowned slightly and stopped the movements in her hand, and then turned her head to look out the window, with a puzzled look on her face, she heard a very strange music that she had never heard before.
