Chapter 43: The Unexpected
"Wait a little longer, there are two more people." After Qiu Jiyuan finished saying this, he picked up an official document on the case, Qiu Ze didn't dare to ask any more questions when he saw this, and could only count the passage of time little by little.
About a quarter of an hour later, Tong Fengyi came back and saw that no one in the side hall spoke, and a sense of oppression came to him, and the joke he tried to ridicule did not cause any waves.
He bowed down to his parents and sat opposite Qiu Zeyuan, even if Qiu Zeyuan saw the question in his eyes, he had no way to answer him, because he didn't know what his fathers were going to say, he could only hint that Tong Fengyi was a little calm.
After Tong Fengyi came back, the side hall changed from one number of seconds to two seconds, Tong Fengyi only felt that he had counted countless one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and ninety, but he still didn't wait for the arrival of the last person. If it weren't for today's incident, he felt that he and Zeyuan were at a loss, he wouldn't want to stay in this lifeless place for a long time, just when he was about to hold on, he saw a familiar and petite figure, and he suddenly sobered up a lot. Why did Uncle Qiu call Oak over? What do you have to say in front of you?
Qiu Jiyuan changed his indifferent attitude after seeing Xin Daiyi, and personally stepped forward to help Xin Daiyi, who was kneeling on the ground to give a salute, and said with a smile: "I finally looked forward to you." Your father and I have agreed to set the wedding date for you and Zeyuan on the eighth day of the eighth month of the eighth month, five months later. ”
Hearing Qiu Jiyuan say this, Qiu Zeyuan and Tong Fengyi were stunned, Xin Daiyi also thought that she had heard it wrong, and said with a light smile: "Uncle Qiu is talking about the marriage date between Brother Zeyuan and my sister, thank you uncle for forgiving my sister." ”
Qiu Jiyuan's eyes were as clear as water, and every word revealed an irreversible majesty, "What sister?" You are your father's only beloved daughter, the only daughter of the Xin family, where did you come from? Zhaoxun, do you have any other daughters? ”
Xin Zhaoxun avoided his daughter's incredulous gaze and said in a deep voice: "If you go back to the Overseer, Zhaoxun will only have one daughter in this life. ”
Tong Fengyi listened to this incredible conversation, and saw the tears in Xin Lan's eyes, he really couldn't imagine how they could easily erase the traces of a living person's existence for their own sake......
Qiu Jiyuan completely ignored the surprise of several children, and said directly to Tong Guangting: "This is the first thing we want to announce, and the second thing is up to you." ”
"Feng Yi, your mother and I have chosen a family affair for you, it is the eldest daughter of the He family in Ying'an, and the marriage date has not yet been decided, but I will discuss with He Yaohua as soon as possible, and I will definitely arrange your marriage properly before the year."
Before Tong Fengyi could recover from the horror of the previous news, he fell into another abyss where he couldn't see his fingers, and he tried his best to stabilize his trembling voice, "Father, isn't it me marrying a wife?" Why don't you ask me what I mean, and then marry me? ”
"Marriage events, parents' orders, matchmakers' words, have been the same since ancient times. Q: What do you mean to do? Tong Guangting's cold and arrogant face was already a little displeased.
"Father, I don't want to disobey you, it's just my marriage, don't I even have the right to know? And Dai Xun, even if she runs away with the wilderness without permission, it is against the norm, isn't it enough to ground her? Do you have to remove her from the Xin family tree and let her become a lonely ghost after her death? ”
Tong Yuan hurriedly grabbed Tong Guangting's hand that was about to slap his son's face, and reprimanded: "Feng Yi, how can you speak?" Is your Uncle Qiu and your father's decision also something you can question? Don't hesitate to please! ”
"Feng Yi just told a few words of truth, what is the crime? Father, Uncle Tong, Uncle Xin, I have long said that my wife in this life can only be Xun, and I will wait for the day when she changes her mind. Ao'er is Xun's own sister and my sister, and it is impossible for me to harm anyone. ”
As if he hadn't heard his son's words, Qiu Jiyuan looked at Xin Daiyu and asked lovingly, "Jun'er, do you think you're harming you by letting you be the future mistress of the Qiu family?" The implication was to make Xin Daiyi nod.
As soon as Xin Daiyi arrived at the Overseer's Mansion, she heard about these two major events that caught her off guard, and her heart was in a mess. If she says she doesn't want to, and doesn't say anything against her will, I'm afraid that my father and the Xin family will really have no place in Pudong. If she said yes, what would Brother Zeyuan and her sister do......
Tong Fengyi saw Xin Daiyuan's tears rolling up a few clouds of smoke in those beautiful eyes like peach blossoms, thinking that she was really unwilling to marry Qiu Zeyuan, so he stepped forward directly in front of Xin Daiyuan, and said to Qiu Jiyuan: "If she doesn't want to, please ask Uncle Qiu not to make it difficult." ”
This time, before Tong Yuan's could stop it, Tong Fengyi was pulled over by Tong Guangting and slapped to the ground, "Rebel!" Did you interject when your Uncle Qiu was talking to Daisey?! I don't think the last board will make you remember it for a long time! Come! ”
"Uncle Tong, the injury on Brother Feng Yi's back has just healed, please don't hit him again." Xin Dai asked for help in front of Tong Fengyi.
But Tong Guangting and Qiu Jiyuan didn't say a word, Xin Dai walked to Qiu Jiyuan in a hurry, and begged repeatedly: "Uncle Qiu, I am willing to marry Brother Ze Yuan, I am willing to marry Brother Ze Yuan on behalf of my sister, please let Brother Feng Yi go, please ......"
"Guangting, what Xiao'er said is reasonable......"
Before Qiu Jiyuan finished speaking, Tong Fengyi suddenly grabbed Xin Daiyi's shoulders, and the strength was so great that Xin Daiyi felt that her bones were about to be crushed by Tong Fengyi, "Xiao'er, you can't marry Zeyuan, you don't have to worry about me, I don't care how much I am beaten, you can't marry someone you don't love and don't love you, you can't joke about the happiness of your own life......"
"Brother Feng Yi, let go of me, you hurt me." Only then did Tong Fengyi realize how tightly he held Xin Daiyi, and hurriedly withdrew his strength to hold her.
Xin Daiyi rubbed her aching shoulders, didn't dare to look directly at Tong Fengyi's anxious gaze, lowered her head and said in a voice that almost only she could hear: "I really want to marry Brother Zeyuan, I have always liked Brother Zeyuan......"
"You...... What did you say? Tong Fengyi didn't seem to hear what Xin Daiyi said, so he asked again without giving up.
"Dai said that she really wanted to marry Zeyuan, and she has always liked Zeyuan." Tong Yuan pulled up and down on the ground and hugged Xin Daiyi's son, and said what Xin Daiyi didn't dare to say again.
It was only a quarter of an hour since Xin Daiyi returned home, and Tong Fengyi felt that his whole world had been turned upside down, making him dizzy, and smashing his internal organs so that his internal organs were twisted together and hurting, but he didn't even have a chance to avoid the struggle......
Tong Yuan turned to her husband and said, "Husband, let's take Feng Yi back to the house first, and let the Overseer and General Xin talk about Zeyuan and Dai Wei's marriage." ”
Tong Guangting understood his wife's meaningful gaze, looked at Qiu Jiyuan inquiringly, and after getting Qiu Jiyuan's acquiescence, he left the Overseer's Mansion with his wife and his soulless son.
Qiu Jiyuan didn't want to think much about Tong Fengyi's thoughts, he only felt that God was really fair, their Qiu family had just lost a son for the Xin family, and immediately let the Xin family compensate for a daughter.
"Originally, I didn't ask you two to be sincere, but now it's the icing on the cake. Zhaoxun, we can also rest assured. Qiu Jiyuan said.
"Father's ......"
"Qiu Zeyuan! I am willing to marry you, which not only fulfills my wish and your Uncle Xin's wishes, but also saves the face of our Qiu Xin family, don't be ignorant! Qiu Jiyuan's voice became cold again.
Qiu Ze's farsightedness couldn't distinguish between his father, so he simply stopped talking about it, and instead said: "Father, I will never marry Wei'er." I'm not coming back today to argue with you about my marriage, but to tell you that you're pregnant and you're going to have grandchildren. ”
Qiu Jiyuan turned around and picked up the teacup on the table, tasted the fragrance of Pu'er tea, and poured the whole bowl of tea on Qiu Zeyuan's face, Qiu Zeyuan knelt on the ground and begged in a sad voice: "Father, I have to help her save this child because of her life." If you don't agree, I can't afford to kneel here. So saying, he buried his head deep in the ground.
"Zhaoxun, you can do it!"
Qiu Jiyuan saw that his son was so unsufficiency, and his heart was like a pile of thousands of boulders, which made him breathless, so he simply couldn't see it and left with his wife.
Xin Zhaoxun and Xin Daixun surrounded Qiu Zeyuan and wanted to help him up, but Qiu Zeyuan did not comply, grabbed Xin Zhaoxun's shirt and begged: "Uncle Xin, Xun Xun is your biological daughter, how can you not want her...... If Xun Xun is removed from the Xin family tree, it will be even more difficult for me to marry her in the mansion in the name of justice......"
Xin Zhaoxun's sword eyebrows were also locked together, and his voice was more helpless and helpless, "Child, it's not that I don't want her, it's that she has cut off her own way back." You must know that people live for a lifetime, some mistakes can be made, and they can be changed after they are made, but once they are made, they cannot be turned back. If I relented for a while and protected Xun, then I wouldn't be able to protect Xiao'er, your Aunt Xin, Ruilin's family, and the innocent lintel of the Xin family in the past 20 years. Since you can treat Chun Chun well regardless of your past suspicions and keep the child who has nothing to do with you, can you also be kind to the one who is sincere to you? I've already lost a daughter, and I don't want to watch another daughter just as unlucky. Uncle beg, find a suitable time to beat the child in Chun's belly, and listen to your father's words to marry Huai'er, okay? ”
Saying that, Xin Zhaoxun knelt down in front of Qiu Zeyuan, Xin Lan's family was already crying, seeing her husband kneeling down to a junior so humbly, she knew how embarrassed he was, and he cried more and more. Xin Daiyu listened to the words of her father and Brother Zeyuan, and her heart was also filled with endless sourness, but she still held back her tears and persuaded her father to get up.
Qiu Zeyuan was like a drowning man who finally grabbed a driftwood, but the driftwood was ruthlessly washed away by the flowing water, no matter how much he struggled, it was in vain, and he could only wait for the fate of drowning to approach little by little.
