Chapter 714: Confidante
Zixi smiled faintly, didn't speak, and concentrated on giving Murong Xi a needle.
A guest came to the front room.
Murong Rin didn't go out today, and entertained someone in the main hall, it was Qi Hong, the lord of Los Angeles, and Qi Mingxuan's father.
Murong Liufeng was also there, standing quietly beside Murong Rin.
"Virtuous nephew, there are two things that Uncle Shi is here for today." Qi Hong sat on the left side, his fingers kept rubbing the teacup, looking a little too uncomfortable, "First, what happened last night was a little misunderstanding, I want to call that Qin Gongzi out and ask him about the situation; The second is about the marriage between Mingxuan and Ji'er, I want to talk to my nephew. β
Murong Rin sat on the main seat, took a sip of tea, and said in a light tone: "I have heard about last night's incident, Qi Mingxuan went to visit the Qinglou and had a dispute with Gongzi Qin over the matter of the Oiranββ"
"Virtuous nephew." Qi Hong hurriedly interrupted him, "There is a bit of a misunderstanding here. β
Murong Rin raised his eyes, his eyes were dark: "What misunderstanding?" β
"I asked Ming Xuan last night, and there is a reason why he went to the Red Mansion." Qi Hong said, took out a note from his sleeve, got up and handed it to Murong Rin, "Nephew Xian will take a look at this first." β
Murong Rin frowned slightly, reached out and took the note in his hand and looked at it.
When his eyes came into contact with the note, Murong Liufeng's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak, and stood silently.
"Ming Xuan occasionally goes to the Red Mansion to sit when he is upset, the Oiran Qinglian of the Red Mansion is an understanding girl, according to Ming Xuan, he always listened to Qinglian play the piano, talked to her for a while, and did not do anything that should not be done." Qi Hong returned to his chair and sat down, and couldn't help but sigh, "Because I received an invitation from Miss Qinglian the night before, saying that I had something important to tell him, Mingxuan went last night, and I just wanted to ask Miss Qinglian what was going on with him, but I didn't expect a misunderstanding to happen." β
Murong Rin finished reading the note, then put it on the next few cases, and took a sip of tea in silence, his expression was unfathomable.
Qi Hong looked at his expression, and after a moment, he said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew should also know, who doesn't have a confidant in this Luocheng scholar?" Although these girls are in the dusty land, they are noble and proud in their bones, and they like to talk about poetry and lyrics with readers, Miss Qinglian is at best Mingxuan's confidante, and their relationship has really never gone beyond it. β
After a pause, Qi Hong's expression became more and more relaxed: "Mingxuan and Xi'er are not small, with the meaning of this official...... Or set a date for their marriage? β
Murong Rin said lightly: "Liufeng, what do you think?" β
Murong Liufeng was silent for a moment, and then said lightly: "Can the city lord guarantee that after the young city lord marries the young lady, he will no longer take concubines, and there will be no intercourse girls, and he will cut off all confidants outside from now on?" β
As soon as these words came out, Qi Hong's expression changed slightly.
Of course, it's okay to cut off the confidante outside, and of course it's okay to have a girl without a room.
Do you want to take a concubine......
How is this possible?
He is the lord of a city, and the question of heirs is no joke.
Not to mention Murong Xi's disabled legs, even if she is a healthy woman, the concubines of the official family are usually three wives and four concubines, not to mention that Murong Xi is inconvenient to walk and is accompanied by a wheelchair for life, in case she can't give birth to a son to the Qi family in the future, will it be difficult for the Qi family to be broken?
Qi Hong's face turned slightly pale, and then he smiled dryly: "Second Master Murong is also for the good of his concubine, the official knows, but you should understand that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the great ......."
