"You're the one my son likes?" Qi Taishou's tone was flat, Ling Xiu'er couldn't hear his emotions, and a pair of shrewd eyes stared at Ling Xiu'er like an eagle.

This kind of gaze is uncomfortable for anyone, and Ling Xiu'er is naturally too. Without waiting for her to explain, Qi Shaohui jumped out of it, pointed at Ling Xiu'er and said, "Dad, it's her, I like her." I knew it was her the first time I saw her. I must marry her! ”

No, no, how can he be the object of Qi Shaohui's love at first sight! Ling Xiu'er hurriedly waved her hand, and was about to open her mouth to explain, but she was choked back by Qi Taishou's scolding.

"Shameless!" Qi Taishou glared at Qi Shaohui, "Randomly turned his gaze back to Ling Xiu'er."

Although this appearance is not a country and a city, it is also a feeling as pure as a gardenia, and it is indeed the type that his son likes. But don't say that this girl's origin is unknown, just say that Yeluda, the backer behind the rich businessman, is something he can't afford to provoke! In any case, whether the son is joking or serious, he will not agree to this matter.

Ling Xiu'er felt the scary gaze again, and whispered, "No, no, I'm not." ”

When Qi Shaohui looked at Ling Xiu'er by his own father, he kept squeezing his eyebrows with Ling Xiu'er, and covered his mouth with his hand and shook his head, signaling Ling Xiu'er not to speak. Ling Xiu'er didn't care about him, but still repeated: "I'm not!" I have nothing to do with Young Master Qi. ”

But Qi Taishou was short-tempered, and he didn't listen to Ling Xiu'er's words at all, but turned around and said to Qi Shaohui sharply: "I still say the same thing, whether you want to or not, even if it is for the people of the county to bring down the price, you have to marry!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Qi Taishou walked out in a hurry.

How can the tempers of the father and son be more difficult than the other, Ling Xiu'er slandered.

After watching Qi Taishou leave, Qi Shaohui pursed his lips, as if relieved, patted his chest and said, "Finally left." ”

"Why did Young Master Qi lie that I was the one you fell in love with at first sight? To tell you the truth, I am already married. ”

When Qi Shaohui heard the news that Ling Xiu'er was married, he opened his mouth wide in surprise, and glanced at Ling Xiu'er again, as if talking to himself: "No, it doesn't look like it." ”

Ling Xiu'er observed Qi Shaohui carefully, and unexpectedly found a look of disappointment on his face.

"By the way, I don't know what your name is."

"My name is Ling Xiu'er."

Qi Shaohui, who knew Ling Xiu'er's name, was obviously very familiar: "Xiu'er, don't mind. I don't have to marry you, what I just said was just a lie to my father, after all, I really don't want to marry the daughter of that rich merchant. ”

As an unrelated person, he was pulled into this vortex by Qi Shaohui's words, Ling Xiu'er was a little unhappy, and her tone became tough: "Then Young Master Qi shouldn't use me as an excuse!" ”

Seeing Ling Xiu'er's brows furrowed, her eyes alienated and cold, Qi Shaohui knew that Ling Xiu'er was really angry, he understood but didn't want Ling Xiu'er to misunderstand, and explained eagerly: "Xiu'er." ”

Ling Xiu'er glared at him, and Qi Shaohui hurriedly changed his title: "Miss Xiu'er, listen to me." It is a matter of fact that since the floods in the north and south of the lake have intensified, the price of food and the price of daily necessities have risen rapidly. There is a rich merchant in our county, who controls the prices here with all his might, and offers to marry his daughter to me. Only then will he be willing to lower prices. ”

Qi Shaohui paused when he said this, and sighed exaggeratedly, as if he couldn't bear it.

"How could I possibly say yes! I originally thought that my father would be on my side, but who knew that the backer behind the rich businessman was very powerful, at least my father couldn't afford to mess with it. ”

While speaking, Qi Shaohui didn't forget to complain about his father, Ling Xiu'er was a little speechless and felt a little funny, so she didn't open her mouth and continued to listen to Qi Shaohui's explanation.

"You know what makes me angry the most?" Qi Shaohui asked himself, "He actually succumbed to the evil forces!" This is the last thing I can accept, and that's why I argue with my father. It's not that I don't care about the lives of ordinary people, but I believe that there must be other ways, I won't sacrifice myself, I won't bow my head. I'm sorry to get you involved in this, girl, but I'm also trying to stall for time. ”

Ling Xiu'er understood the whole story, and it was difficult for her to say that she had no grievances against Qi Shaohui, after all, this matter had nothing to do with her. But it was a matter of life and death for the people, but Ling Xiu'er's mood eased a little. From Qi Shaohui's words, Ling Xiu'er could tell that he was not a bad person at least.

Qi Shaohui didn't expect to be a backbone.

She originally planned to stay in this county for a while, and she was looking for news of Cao Yu here, maybe with Qi Shaohui's help, she would get twice the result with half the effort.

Qi Shaohui obviously felt that Ling Xiu'er was not so angry, and his brows spread. Qi Shaohui returned to his previous familiar appearance, and put forward his thoughts with a smile: "Don't worry, Miss Xiu'er, I just played this scene with you, and I won't really do anything to you, when the matter is resolved, I will naturally explain it to my father, I won't embarrass you, and it won't have any impact on your reputation, I promise!" ”

In order to show his sincerity, Qi Shaohui raised his hand to make an oath.

Poof, Ling Xiu'er was amused, this Qi Shaohui is not only a person with backbone, but also like a child, with a kind of youthful childishness in his gestures, which is really interesting.

"Ahem." Ling Xiu'er put away her smile, cleared her throat and said, "I can do the young master this favor, and I will regard it as a return for your kindness." It's just that I have one condition. ”

"You say, you say."

"I'm here to look for my father-in-law, my father-in-law's name is Cao Yu, and he is an official sent by the imperial court to control the water. It's just that some time ago, there was news that my father-in-law was swept away by the flood because of the collapse of the embankment, and I want you to help me inquire about my father-in-law. ”

Qi Shaohui still thought that he could still complete such a trivial matter as listening to the news. He patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, this matter is on me." It's just that your husband was swept away by the water, and the chance of survival is really slim, and I may not be able to find out the news. ”

Ling Xiu'er's eyes darkened, and her tone was low: "I naturally know this, you do your best." ”

What Ling Xiu'er didn't know was that Cao Yu, who she was thinking about and wanted to find, not only did not die, but was also in the same county town with her.
