Chapter 25: Into the Tiger's Den
"I've decided. Qin Ming stood up suddenly, "The old housekeeper is right, marrying the city lord's daughter has a hundred benefits and no harm, I agreed." ”
A smile finally appeared on the old butler's face, and he stroked the long beard on his chin and said, "Okay, Gongzi Qin is really wise." In this case, please also ask Gongzi Qin to rush to the City Lord's Mansion tonight, and the City Lord will prepare an engagement banquet tonight. ”
"What! Engaged tonight?" Qin Ming was taken aback, this was too urgent.
"Yes, just tonight. Qin Gongzi don't forget to call the Qin family members. ”
"Where are the elders in my Qin family, don't laugh at the old housekeeper. ”
"The old man is not joking, Qin Gongzi should be clear, if Qin Gongzi needs to explain, please tell the city lord in detail. It's not early, and the old man has to go back to prepare, so he will leave first. ”
The outsiders finally left, but the two girls in the house were full of thoughts, and even the cheerful Lu Shuyan couldn't speak with a sullen face at the moment.
"Sister Min, you go back to the room first. I have something to talk to Shu Yan about. ”
"Okay, I got it. Qin Min was also depressed, but she had already been mentally prepared, and she hadn't gained too much.
"Shu Yan, I'm sorry, I was going to tell you about this, but everything came too suddenly. Qin Ming said guiltily.
Lu Shuyan shook his head slightly and said, "We have no feelings, there is no need to really get married according to the agreement of the elders, you don't owe me anything." ”
Although she said this, her face was still dull, and she looked unhappy.
Qin Ming knew what she cared about, and said at the moment: "Shu Yan, our two fathers have been friends for many years, and they should be honest with each other, so why hide it from each other." If I'm not mistaken, you didn't plan to marry me this time, right? I'm afraid Uncle Lu didn't go out to cultivate, but had an accident. ”
Lu Shuyan's face stiffened, and he said bitterly: "You guessed everything?"
Qin Ming nodded seriously.
"According to the friendship between the two families, I should care about Uncle Lu's situation and do my best to help you. But you should also see that the current situation of the Qin family is not good at all. The entire Qin family is only supported by me and Sister Min, and it is difficult to keep the Qin family intact, and there is no extra energy to help you. ”
"I can see that the situation of the Qin family is indeed not good. Lu Shuyan sighed slightly, "Actually, as you said, something happened to the Lu family." The people offended by the Lu family are very large, and my father didn't plan to let the Qin family do anything, because he knew that you couldn't help anything else. He only wants me to marry you and live well in the Qin family. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Shuyan paused slightly.
"But I don't want to marry you, I haven't met you yet, and I don't have any feelings. But I don't have much strength as a girl, not only can't I take revenge, but it's hard to even guarantee survival. So I came here to make up an excuse, I just wanted to live here, to have a place to stay, and I didn't dare to ask for anything. ”
"I've already finished what I should say, if you think I'm going to implicate the Qin family, even if you drive me away, I won't blame you. ”
Qin Ming sighed and said, "Shu Yan, you don't have to worry. No matter how downtrodden my Qin family is, I won't drive you away. Everything I do now is to protect this family, and now that you are here, I will also treat you as a part of this family, and you can live here with peace of mind. If you don't mind, I'll be your brother in the future, so that outsiders won't say anything. As for the Lu family's affairs, I can only say that I don't have the ability to ask now, but one day I have the strength, and I will definitely do my best to help you. ”
"Really?" Lu Shuyan's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this, she didn't expect Qin Ming to speak so well after explaining everything.
"Don't worry, I won't lie to you. Qin Ming said with a smile.
"Brother Qin, you are so good!" Lu Shuyan jumped up happily all of a sudden.
Qin Ming couldn't help but smile knowing when he saw her so comforting.
Lu Shuyan's matter was temporarily resolved, she had no intention of marrying Qin Ming, and now she can continue to live here with peace of mind, and her mood will naturally improve.
But the other person is probably not so easy to coax.
Qin Ming slowly walked to Qin Min's room, thinking about the relationship between him and Qin Min during this time. To be honest, he didn't have anything else in mind at first, but in this short period of time, the two of them have experienced a lot of things together, and Qin Ming can't deny that he has a lot of good feelings for Qin Min, and even surpasses the normal family relationship.
But in the face of the choice of the Qin family's future, he still chose the city lord's line.
"Sister Min, are you there? I have something to tell you. ”
"I'm here, you...... Come on in. Qin Min's voice came from inside, and he seemed to be a little flustered.
Qin Ming gently pushed open the door and walked in, Qin Min was sitting at the head of the bed at the moment, and his eyes seemed to be a little red when he looked at it seriously, maybe he was crying just now.
Qin Ming couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Sister Min, I'm sorry. I ended up making that decision anyway. ”
"Qin Ming, you did the right thing, I support you. Qin Min replied.
Qin Ming smiled bitterly: "Then why do you seem to have cried?"
"No, absolutely not, you must be mistaken. ”
"Well, I'm wrong. I think it's better to tell you one thing, I'm a person who thinks differently from others, and I don't care about those worldly etiquette. What kind of marriage contract with Lu Shuyan, engagement with Zhao Ying and the like, in my opinion, is just a ceremony, if the time is ripe, I will turn my face with the City Lord's Mansion at any time, and I will not compromise like this again!"
Qin Ming's sonorous words really shocked Qin Min, she had seen too many strange things about Qin Ming during this time, and she was not surprised by such thoughts.
Although he felt a little incomprehensible, Qin Min still chose to believe him.
......
was suddenly about to get engaged, and Qin Ming didn't have much preparation. Thinking that I might have to meet with many celebrities in the evening, I am afraid that I will have to change into decent clothes.
Qin Ming went out on the street and was about to go to the tailor's shop to buy a good dress, when he was stopped by someone when he passed through an alley.
The person on the opposite side wore a hat to cover his face, and simply stood at the entrance of the alley to put a huge pressure on Qin Ming.
"Qin Ming, you can't go anywhere today. Come with me, you can avoid the pain of flesh and skin. ”
Qin Ming frowned, "What if I say no." ”
"That's easy. The man sneered, his body didn't move at all, and a sword qi suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of him, cutting a half-foot-deep ravine on the ground.
Qin Ming's face changed, the people who could release his vitality were basically above the Earth Yuan Realm, this person's Yuan Qi was so skillful, I am afraid that he was also a powerful figure in the Earth Yuan Realm, and with his strength, he had no capital to fight at all.
"Alright, lead the way. I'll go with you. ”
In this way, Qin Ming followed behind the man in the hat all the way through several narrow alleys, and finally turned into a dilapidated house.
Here, Qin Ming immediately sensed that there were still two powerful auras, which meant that there were at least three Earth Yuan masters in this small room.
"Master Yu, do you still want to hide it at this time?" Qin Ming said suddenly.
To be able to hide three such masters in a small house, and to be involved with him, the first thing he could think of was the Yu family.
Sure enough, after Qin Ming's words came out, the man with the hat took off the hat, revealing the face of Yu Jie, the head of the Yu family. At this time, a figure also walked out on both sides of the room, it was Yu Jue, the second elder of the Yu family, and Yu Sine.
"Qin Ming, look where you are fleeing today!" Yu Sine said angrily.
Qin Ming didn't panic, and said with a smile: "If the Yu family is ready to kill me, I'm afraid they will do it just now." Has the Yu family master figured it out?"
Yu Jie's expression was very cold, and he said, "Qin Ming, you guessed wrong, I really want to kill you today." Because, my son is gone, and the last time he went out was to look for you!"
"What!" Qin Ming was shocked, "I did see him this morning and explained my innocence to him, and then we separated." He hasn't come back to you yet?"
"Yes, that's the way it is. My son disappeared after seeing you, he won't drag on for so long for no reason, and most of the disappearances at this moment are more likely to be more auspicious. If you can't come up with a reasonable explanation, I will definitely kill you today!"
"This matter really has nothing to do with me!" Qin Ming hurriedly explained, "Master Yu, you are a smart person. How could I kill Yu Jingzhi, if he dies, I will definitely be hit by you, I think someone is scheming against you and me. The head of the Yu family has to guard against it!"
