Qu Yuanshen made up his mind, since he knew that Qu Lian and Jingmo were a bad fate that ended without a problem, it was better to dispel her thoughts as soon as possible, he shook his head and said firmly: "It's not a joke, it's a real marriage contract, since I met the county lord, I know this marriage contract, this marriage contract was made by Guan Neihou and Jing Sanbo." ”

Qu Lian's face turned from white to red, from red to blue, and finally returned to normal, she smiled softly and firmly: "Having a marriage contract and getting married are two different things after all, I will do my best to marry him." ”

"Qu Lian, how can we ordinary people be worthy of the wealth of the Heavenly Family, let alone you as a concubine. Qu Yuanshen was taken aback, grabbed Qu Lian's hand, and shook his head again and again.

"Brother. Qu Lian raised her eyes, and her beautiful face smiled like a flower: "Brother, Jingmo is not that kind of snobbish person, he never cares about the difference between concubines and concubines, if he has me in his heart, he will not dislike me because I am just a concubine of a merchant family." ”

Qu Yuanshen gently stroked her hair bun and sighed: "Qu Lian, the marriage contract between the county lord and the prince of Jing is clearly written in black and white, could it be that you are willing to wronged yourself to be his concubine." ”

Concubine room, Qu Lian took a step back, although she is a concubine, but the arrogance of raising has always been more noble than that of a concubine, she never thought that she would be a concubine, she tilted her head, her voice was gentle but firm: "No, I don't want to be a concubine, I want to be Jingmo's wife." ”

"This is impossible, it is impossible, unless you ruin that marriage contract, you are more important than Mount Tai in his heart, and it is impossible to be a wife. Qu Yuanshen said sharply.

That would ruin the marriage contract. Qu Lian suddenly shouted, there was no trace of the previous weakness on her face, but she was ruthless and resolute, and then she whispered hoarseness in despair: "That will ruin the marriage contract." ”

Qu Yuanshen has never been so desperate today, he wanted to persuade again, but he was shocked to find that he was out of words, and in the face of Qu Lian's tears, he was resolute, even if he had full words, he didn't know where to persuade him.

Qu Lian grabbed Qu Yuanshen's sleeve and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother, I can marry the prince of Sanbo Mansion as a wife, you are also happy, and you will help me, right." ”

Qu Yuanshen was speechless, he had to admit that what he wanted was just that Qu Lian could find a lover, and it was the thing he was most happy to see that she could leave the Qu family, but Jingmo was not necessarily her lover.

is not her beloved, so it can still be dismantled, and the long pain is better than the short pain. He said with difficulty: "He is the son of Sanbo Mansion, how can we climb high, this matter, my brother can't help you, you still die of this heart." ”

In front of the court, a tree is planted to shine on the water hibiscus, at this time the tree is full of half-white, half-pink and half-red flowers, the wind blows the waves and the flowers move, the light is like the hibiscus out of the water, it is like a lotus petal, and the half pond is splendid and prosperous in the rippling clear waves, and it is enchanting.

"Who, who is the son of Sanbofu, who can't climb high. A surprise came from outside the Hanging Flower Gate, and it was Qu Tianxiong's steady and startled voice.

He has always felt the most sorry for this daughter, and he has never even said a heavy word, and when he heard that Qu Lian came back, he cried endlessly, as if he had been greatly wronged, he naturally put down everything at hand, and when he hurried over, he happened to hear Qu Yuanshen's words, and he couldn't help but think big.

Qu Yuanshen looked at Qu Tianxiong with a complicated expression, and didn't know how to speak, but Qu Lian leaned over with disgust, and gave a general idea of the origin of Jingmo, and Qu Tianxiong smiled and nodded incessantly.

"Dad, just let me go, okay, okay. Seeing Qu Tianxiong's expression, Qu Lian knew that the matter was over, so she held Qu Tianxiong's arm affectionately, although there were still tears on her face, she was already smiling.

Qu Tianxiong sighed: "I really don't feel at ease to let you go to such a far place, but that child's character and family background are really valuable, although it is not as prominent as the second son of Xuhou Mansion, but you are married to a wife, you don't have to be a concubine to see the face of the main room, it is a pity to miss it." He pondered for a moment: "That's it, bring more people, yes, bring more silver, Lian'er, don't worry about anything, there is a father here, everything will be arranged properly, and you will definitely be married into the Sanbo Mansion as you wish." ”

Out of Qu Lian's boudoir, turn to the west, two mottled wooden doors lock the barren back garden, a natural geothermal in the garden, warm in winter, in this wet and cold Qingzhou is rare and rare, Qu Lian's biological mother is Qu Tianxiong's concubine, has always been afraid of the cold, after the old man Qu bought this house, he gave her the back garden, who expected her to be blessed, died of dystocia when giving birth to Qu Lian, Qu Lao Ye in order to avoid seeing things and thinking about people, ordered people to close the back garden, and did not set foot in this place again.

Although Qu Lian is a concubine, she is the first daughter of the Qu family, and her biological mother was the most favored concubine when she was alive, so she has always been raised as a concubine, and she is more favored than her brother and sister who were born later.

Qu Tianxiong and Qu Yuanshen were speechless all the way, and through Zhong Lingyu's beautiful Taihu Lake Stone, they happened to see the artemisia grass in the deserted back garden, whimpering in the autumn wind, like a woman with a red face who was not old and broke off first, hiding in a place where no one was hiding her face and crying.

"Father, why did you want to let Qu Lian go? In the quiet and uninhabited garden, there is no need to worry about being listened to if there is anything unbearable, Qu Yuanshen finally spoke with difficulty.

Qu Tianxiong didn't look at him, only stared into the distance, and there was a deep meaning in his words: "It's a pity that such a good person doesn't grasp it in the palm of his hand." ”

Qu Yuanshen raised his eyes and said coldly: "Utilization is utilization, why do you say it so high-sounding." ”

There is a carved tree among the green trees and flowers, which is the most gorgeous and gorgeous one in the entire Qujia girl's boudoir, highlighting Qu Lian's status in the family, and the degree of favor in Qu Tian's ambition, but in Qu Yuanshen's view, the gorgeous and abnormal boudoir is like a golden wire cage.

Qu Tianxiong glanced back at the golden wire cage, stared at Qu Yuanshen again, and sneered: "If you tell Qu Lian that this is use, she will no longer have the value of being used, then you should know what the consequences will be, Yuan Shen, do you remember Aunt Yue, but do you remember how she died." ”

"Father, Qu Lian is your dear flesh and blood, are you really ruthless enough to treat her like this? Qu Yuan's eyes turned red, and then he glanced at the windward artemisia grass, Ruyu Beauty had already turned into a red face and withered bones, buried deep under the barrenness, and now, even her daughter was going to repeat the mistakes of the past, but he was helpless, he hated a little, hated himself for being helpless.

"Dearest," Qu Tianxiong sighed coldly: "Aren't King Mo Feilin and Prince Wu close relatives, aren't Your Majesty and the eldest princess of Changle close relatives, the road to winning the heir is frightening step by step, which step is not the blood of the closest relatives, as for Qu Lian, even if I don't use it, there will be others who use it, as the flesh and blood of my Qu family, she should dedicate herself to the Qu family." Qu Tianxiong glanced at him: "The county lord you defended with your life is not a kind-hearted kind, otherwise she would have told Qu Lian her origin a long time ago, how could she wait until today to hide it." ”

"Her hands are naturally not clean, but at least she has not harmed innocent people, let alone Qu Lian," Qu Yuanshen glanced back at Qu Lian's boudoir: "But what about you, father, you can even use your own daughter's life." ”

"Yes, she hasn't harmed innocent people, so how did King Wu Manmen die back then, you don't know. Qu Tianxiong only smiled, laughing at human life as a mystery, no matter how hard he put his heart, he couldn't hold it firmly in the palm of his hand.

Qu Yuanshen looked at him coldly: "King Wu, the life of His Royal Highness King Wu." Father, I'm also waiting to see who His Royal Highness King Wu's blood feud will be avenged for. ”

"Retribution. Qu Tianxiong sneered: "If there is really retribution in this world, then it should also be retribution on her, there is no grudge between me and King Wu, if it weren't for her several times to provoke and persecute, how could I be ruthless to take King Wu's life, speaking of which, this is also because she didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of her, you can talk about it, who should this blood feud be counted on." ”

Qu Yuanshen choked for a while, the wind shook his clothes, and the fine Yunjin gave birth to a rustling sound, cold without a trace of warmth, which shook his ears and buzzed.

After a long time, Qu Tianxiong looked at each other fixedly: "Yuan Shen, she is no different from being a father, they are all for the great cause, and everything can be abandoned." He sneered, deliberately provoking Qu Yuanshen's anger: "Yuanshen, if you help her like this, do you have some crooked thoughts about her, you often claim to be a gentleman, and it is not a gentleman to do this." ”

Qu Yuanshen only raised his eyebrows disapprerovingly: "I know who I have in my heart, and you also know that whether it is a gentleman or a villain, the world has its own conclusion, but it is your father who does whatever it takes to disregard human life, and it is really the villain's doing." ”

Qu Tianxiong's cloudy eyes flashed fiercely, he raised his hand angrily, and waved it down, but in the end, he only sighed gloomily, and scraped down his face with his fingertips: "Yuan Shen, the Qu family has fallen too deep in the past few decades, and it is impossible for the whole body to retreat, so it can only move forward desperately, there is King Lin in the front, and there is the Ten Thousand Poison Sect in the back, and a carelessness is not as simple as losing all the plates, but human life, it is the life of the Qu family, all this done for the father is not ruthless, but helpless to protect himself." ”

Hearing this, Qu Yuanshen only felt a throbbing pain in his heart, the Qu family could have been a simple businessman's family, doing simple business, living a simple life, how could it get to today, go to a dead end, and use countless human lives to provoke the storm, the scenery seems infinite to outsiders, but the inside has long been rotten, and the dark is invisible, since it has been dark for a long time, it is not something that can be changed in a few words, nor can it be reversed by simple manpower, so it is useless to say more.

The autumn wind swept across his eyelashes, cold and stinging, and Qu Yuanshen faced the slightly painful and sour wind in his heart and left gloomily.

A small guy flashed out of the shadows, bowed down and whispered: "Master, Indigo somehow discovered the whereabouts of the Rui family, and has already brought someone over." ”

Qu Tianxiong's face changed greatly, and he didn't have time to think about anything, so he waved his sleeves and said, "Let's go." ”
