Chapter 64: I Want to Marry You

Dugu Shibo's refusal was something I didn't expect, and I admit that I am not a good lobbyist, and I am not very experienced in speculating on people's hearts, but I thought that for my father's sake, he would help me, at least not indifferent. It turns out that in the face of interests, years of friendship are so insignificant.

I forgot how I got out of the dark study, and when I opened the door, the candle flame flickered faintly, like a future that I couldn't grasp, and I felt endless depression and boredom. What should I do to save my father and solve the current dilemma?

Dugu Hao waited patiently outside the house, as if he expected that my trip would be fruitless, but he didn't break it, but only asked coldly, "How are you talking to my father?" ”

There was some distance between where he was standing and the door, and he should not be able to hear the conversation in the room, and with his acuity, he would not have guessed the result, but he did not want to embarrass me, and if the conversation had gone well, I would not have been kicked out so quickly.

I said truthfully: "Dugu Shibo rejected me, he said that only the Qin family was the target of the other party, and he chose Mingzhe Bao (身shēn). ”

"It's very much in line with my father's style." He smiled contemptuously: "Hate him? ”

"I don't know." My disappointment in Dugu Shibo is greater than hatred, he must have his difficulties, I have no right to hate him, if the things of today (rì) are reversed, I may not have any worries.

"If you lose your father's help, the Qin family is likely to be finished. Even so, don't hate him for standing by and watching? ”

I shook my head: "There is nothing wrong with different positions and different decisions. ”

"You're weird. When he took me back to the house, I hated him to death, but my mother's bones were not cold, but he didn't let anyone mention my mother, and he didn't allow me to worship. He turned his head to look at me and smiled inexplicably: "If your father can't escape this fate, he will be an accomplice, and I will see that you can be so generous then." ”

I was tired and didn't have the energy to wonder if he was joking: "Dugu Hao, do you miss your father to die?" ”

He smiled even more.

"Are you complaining that he puts the interests of the family first in everything, abandons your mother and son, and doesn't care about blood relatives (情qíng)? But have you ever thought about your mother's weakness, what does she have to rely on to raise a young child and maintain a family's expenses? Although the food and clothing you had when you were young were far inferior to those of the children of the family, they were much better than ordinary people. If it weren't for your father's covert protection, you'd probably suffer more than you thought. ”

"With your current power, you can know the ins and outs of those things with a little inquiry, in fact, you know very well that he has his last resort, but he just doesn't want to admit it."

My brain has been in a mess for the past few days, and I am deflated after seeing Dugu Shibo, and I don't have the energy to deal with Dugu Hao now: "I should go back, you don't have to send it." ”

The Qin Mansion is guarded by Qi Ao, I have nothing to worry about, I just want to get back to my father (body shēn) as soon as possible, in case my father wakes up and can't see me, I should worry a lot.

Dugu Hao grabbed my wrist and pulled me in the opposite direction: "You come with me." ”

He walked faster, and I stumbled after him, not knowing why, "What to do?" ”

He looked back and smiled, his eyes were like silk: "It's late at night, go to my room and have some supper, the most exquisite point in the whole Qinzhou is in the garden of this son." ”

I don't (forbidden jìn) to lose laughter, when is it, he is simply inexplicable: "I'm not hungry." ”

"Then eat with me and watch me eat."

I was displeased: "Dugu Hao, don't make trouble." I'm going back. ”

"I said you can sit on the side and watch me eat, this young master is beautiful and delicious, so you don't have to worry about it twice."

I had no choice but to follow him, although Dugu Hao's skin has the beauty of (yin yīn) softness, the style of the bedroom is very masculine, exquisite but concise, and he can't match him. In terms of enjoyment, he is extremely extravagant, how exquisite and how to come, according to him, the money earned is used to spend, not to mention that the money of the Dugu family cannot be spent.

He was notoriously picky about his food, and if the same dim sum appeared in front of him for three days in a row, the cook would suffer.

Dugu Hao retired from the servant girl he served, and kindly served me a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, I wondered if he had changed to me after returning from Qinglu Temple, and I was a little flattered: "Dugu Hao, how much can you eat alone?" ”

"Miss Qin, you are a nobleman, can you not put the word waste on your lips? If the family is all simple and budget-conscious, how can those ordinary people see us as human beings and strive to climb up? ”

He handed me the chicken soup: "Instead of wasting your lips and tongue with me, you should think more about how to make yourself fatter." With your appearance, Qin Shibo won't be happy when he wakes up. ”

My eyes are slightly hot (hot), these few (day rì) take care of my father without undressing, eat less and sleep less, look a lot haggard, plus ask about the big and small affairs in the house, I am already exhausted, almost to the limit of physical strength.

I obediently took a sip of soup, and the soup was much more comfortable: "When did you become so understanding?" ”

He drank the soup to himself: "Life must be happy, just a few decades, why treat yourself badly?" ”

When a whole bowl of soup was about to be drunk, he sandwiched a few different pastries to me, all of which I liked, of course I would not narcissistically think that he usually paid attention to my preferences, just as a coincidence, I ate the sweet and sour hawthorn rolls, and when my appetite opened, I ate a lot one after another, I have to say that Dugu Hao's eye for picking the chef is very spicy, and every snack I have tasted is impeccable.

As soon as I had a full stomach, the tight strings in my brain also relaxed, and Dugu Hao boiled tea again.

"Tea can relieve greasy, you have eaten a lot at once, if you don't drink some tea, it's time to fill the food."

He made sense, and I did.

"Qin Shibo's matter, what are you going to do?"

I was gloomy: "Dad's injury is dangerous, the key is in the heart, the other party has a dead hand, and he has to put his father to death." I don't understand when my father made such a terrible enemy. Dugu Shibo refused to reveal anything, implying that I should not act rashly. ”

This shows even more that the other party's origin is not small, and it is a person that Dad and Dugu Shibo are not sure to deal with. Looking at the Kyushu continent, there are not many people who are so powerful. This is just my speculation, I have no evidence. ”

Dugu Hao took a sip of tea: "Father is cautious, he won't make a move if he doesn't have a seventy or eighty percent chance of winning, you guessed right, the other party does have a good background." ”

I hesitated, and said cautiously: "Did Dugu Shibo ever reveal it to you?" ”

I didn't expect him to tell me, but I didn't expect him to ask me, "If I say I can help you through this, do you believe me?" ”

"I-"

He interrupted me: "I know what you have to say, if you put aside the Dugu family and my father, if you don't think about these, do you believe that I have the ability to help you?" ”

"What do you want from me?" I said calmly.

Dugu Shibo rejected the mutton fat jade pendant, I can't think of any other valuable bargaining chips, the financial power of the Dugu family is not lost to the Qin family, what does Dugu Hao want?

His eyes were as bright as stars, and he grabbed me firmly and forcefully: "What I want is very simple. ”

"I want to marry you."

Silence all around. The air seemed to be still in this moment.

I shook my head, wondering if I was hallucinating: "What did you say?" ”

"You and I are married, with this layer of in-law relationship, the Dugu family can't stay out of the matter, and my father will be forced to keep the Qin family. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he gives up my chess piece, with my business over the years, he may not be able to survive. ”

I was upset, I never thought that he would put forward such a condition, looking at him like a monster, but he stared at me seriously, taking in my panic, I tried to find traces of tricking on his face, but no, I lost my voice and said: "Dugu Hao, you are crazy!" ”

He must be crazy to make a risky move. Where am I worth it for him to gamble on my marriage and my place in the family? With Dugu Shibo's temper, he will serve the family law at best, and he will be removed from the entire family. The consequences of a child of a family losing the protection of the family, he knows better than me.

"I'm sober, more sober than ever. Remember what I said to you at Kiyoro Temple? Anything gained has a loss, there will be no gain for no reason, Qin Xi, everyone has to pay the price for their choices. That's fair. ”

I was trying to digest his words: "I can't think of any reason for you to do that." "Dad appreciates him, which indirectly leads to Dugu Shibo's respect for him, but this cannot constitute the reason why he sacrificed for the Qin family.

"To this day, I begin to regret that I lied to you, a person tells too many lies, and when he tells the truth, it also becomes a lie."

"Qin Xi, this is a very fair deal. Marrying you in exchange for it, but not on my part. The worst result is that my father expels me, but I can also gain a foothold in Qinzhou by clinging to the Qin family, I am not a saint, I have my own trade-offs. Marriage is a big deal to you, but it is different for me, I am used to you, and I don't want to spend another ten years getting used to another person. ”

He was honest with me, and I was grateful, but I felt that it was incredible that he planned to marry me: "Dugu Hao, your idea is too bold, regardless of the ancestral system that the three major families cannot marry, but if you marry me, I will never agree to share you with other women, you have made up your mind just because you have known me since childhood, what if he (Rirì) meets a woman he really likes?" Find out my weaknesses and negotiate a breakup with me? ”

I spoke tactfully, and before mentioning his countless romances, he was very happy when he saw me seriously thinking about his words, and there was a smile at the corner of his eyebrows: "It just so happens that I want to marry you is not a future, you remember my words, a man will say to a woman that he wants to marry her, because of admiration." ”
