Chapter 33: The Inside Story
"Hahaha, you kid also has today, laughing to death. As soon as Hu Sanniang entered the wing, she rolled on the bed laughing and rolling.
She laughed for a while, didn't hear any sound, and suddenly got up to look, and found Bai Ya sitting at the table indifferent, acting calmly, as if nothing had anything to do with him.
"Hey, Senior Brother Bai, can you give a reaction?" Hu Sanniang pursed her lips and said a little boringly, "Why aren't you angry when you come to ask for a kiss and are slapped in the face like this?"
"Why should I be angry?" Bai Ya raised his eyebrows and smiled in surprise, "This marriage is insignificant, it is just an exchange of interests, and it doesn't matter to me whether it succeeds or not. ”
"Yes...... But you are a disciple of Qingcheng, that Qu family woman is just a secular woman, if she doesn't look down on you, don't you think your face is damaged?" Hu Sanniang said with a smile.
Bai Ya smiled and shook his head silently.
The universal values of his previous life were equality between men and women and the emancipation of women, which is very different from the patriarchal concept in this world. Although he is now following the customs of the locals, and his three views have changed greatly, he still can't treat women as property and objects.
Half an hour ago, when the two of them were received at the Qu family, Bai Ya found something strange. Halfway, because of Qu Ke's intrusion, he faintly noticed that the marriage between the Qu family and Qingduguan had changed.
Although Mrs. Fang still talked about him left and right, and did not explain the reason in person, it was obvious that there was something wrong with the woman.
Bai Ya didn't attach much importance to this marriage, if it weren't for the fact that this marriage was related to the interests of the master, he would have left a long time ago.
"Sanniang, why do you say that the woman of the Qu family doesn't look down on me, maybe there is another reason?" Although he felt that something was wrong with the marriage, Bai Ya couldn't see that the night fox was so proud, so he couldn't help but retort.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you don't believe me, anyway, it is estimated that someone from the Qu family will come over soon and give you an explanation. Hu Sanniang squinted her eyes and sneered, "Don't think that grabbing an old lady's braid in Langzhong shows that you are smart." In terms of eyesight, you don't deserve to lift my shoes. ”
"Aggressive~" As soon as Hu Sanniang's words fell, there was a knock on the door outside.
Bai Ya opened the door and took a look, and found that the person who came was Qu Liang, the son of the Qu family who had led him into the mansion before.
"Disturb rashly, and hope that Brother Bai will forgive his sins. ”
"It's okay, come in!" Bai Ya ushered the person into the room, and what followed was a non-nutritious greeting.
Bai Ya was a martial artist, and he didn't have the patience and cultivation of Qu Liang, a Confucian disciple, so he quickly asked about the young man's intentions.
"I'm here to solve Brother Bai's doubts. Great-grandmother said that it was not the Qu family's prevarication, but there were many people in the lobby just now, and now she should give Brother Bai an explanation. Qu Liang straightened his clothes and bowed towards the white cliff.
Bai Ya's eyes flashed, he didn't expect that old lady to be so open-minded, and he was really willing to explain the inside story to him. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance back at Hu Sanniang, and it seemed that I was guessed by this female fox.
"The younger brother is a martial arts practitioner, and he doesn't like to play dumb riddles, since Brother Qu said so, then I will ask directly......" Bai Ya asked with a smile, "The old lady came to Qingcheng a few months ago to talk to the family teacher and made a marriage for the two families, is this matter changed now?"
"Brother Bai rest assured, there is no possibility of changing this matter, but there have been some twists and turns during this time, and the Qu family will deal with it. Seeing that Bai Ya really asked about the question that the old lady was worried about, Qu Liang couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then replied solemnly.
"What kind of twists and turns?" Bai Ya was a little surprised when he saw that Qu Liang was categorical and resolute.
"It's just a little housework, please rest assured Brother Bai. Qu Liang smiled gently.
Bai Ya couldn't help but smile bitterly, he thought that Qu Liang would really tell him the inside story, but he didn't expect that this guy was just sent by Old Taijun Fang to appease him, and he still refused to tell the truth after talking for a long time.
After Qu Liang left, Bai Ya couldn't help but feel a little upset, pacing back and forth in the room.
"Don't dangle around, it makes the old lady dizzy, if you really want to know the inside story, why don't you ask others?" Hu Sanniang said to him angrily.
"Mrs. Fang didn't let me say, how could anyone in the Qu family tell me...... Wait, maybe she'll be willing to say!" Bai Ya suddenly stopped, and a delicate and elegant face appeared in front of him.
......
In the middle of the night, the two figures flew out of the house with a tacit understanding and got into the woodland next to the road.
"Hmph, who are you, and why did you bring me here?" Qu Ke held down the sword with one hand and looked at the masked man in front of him vigilantly.
"Miss Qu, it's me!" Bai Ya ripped off the veil on his face and turned around.
"Bai Shaoxia, so late at night, why don't you go to rest and call me out?" Seeing Bai Ya's face, Qu Ke had no surprise on his face, and let go of the hilt of his sword and asked lightly.
"Why does the girl ask knowingly?" Bai Ya shrugged, "Didn't you deliberately break into the welcome hall today, just to tell me something?
Qu Ke was stunned for a moment, fell silent, and after a long while, finally spoke slowly.
"After a while with Jun Guanghan, I know that you are chivalrous, why do you want to delay the life of an innocent woman for your own selfish desires now?"
"Miss Qu misunderstood, this family affair was not requested by Bai, but ordered by Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Wan from the Shangqing Duguan, how can it be relied on me?" Bai Ya was unhappy when he heard it, if he didn't have a good impression of Qu Ke, he would have wanted to turn his face.
However, when Qu Ke heard Bai Ya's answer, there was a hint of cunning in his eyes, and he grabbed his words and said, "That being the case, presumably Bai Shaoxia is willing to take the initiative to cancel the marriage contract he made before?"
Bai Ya was stunned for a moment, looking at the smiling girl in front of him, and his heart was suddenly shocked. Qu Ke originally felt cold and arrogant to him, and it was difficult to get close to, but now it seems that this woman has a very good brain, and she sets up ambushes for people.
Knowing Qu Ke's purpose, Bai Ya was not in a hurry, he aimed at her with his eyes and rubbed his chin with one hand.
"Bai Shaoxia, it's not that the little girl deliberately squeezed you, it's really that this marriage is related to the life and death of Qu Qiang's sister, and you can't bear to see a young girl being forced to death by the family, right?" Seeing that Bai Ya was not excited, Qu Ke suddenly had a pleading look on his face.
She was already a stunning pink, and this one put down the cold shelf, and her face was as sad as Xi Shi's hair, which made Bai Ya stunned for a while, and she loved and pity her heart.
"Ahem, Miss Qu doesn't have to be like this. Bai Ya faked coughing twice to hide the gaffe just now.
It's also fortunate that it's him, if it weren't for the countless "reading women" in his previous life, and having seen all the, this would have fallen under Qu Ke's "beauty plan" a long time ago.
"You just said that this marriage has something to do with that...... I don't know what the truth is about the life and death of the Qu Qiang girl? The words of the parents in the world have made many men and women who have been ordered to get married. Although I'm not talented, I'm not a demon or a monster, and if you marry me, you won't have to die or live, right?"
Bai Ya muttered with a strange face, "And what is the relationship between you and Miss Qu Qiang?"
"I'm Qu Qiang's half-sister......" Qu Ke pondered for a while, and then briefly introduced his life experience.
It turned out that Qu Ke and Qu Qiang's biological father, that is, Mrs. Wan's husband, was an amorous seed and a wanderer when he was young, and he was young and golden, so he traveled around China and showed mercy everywhere.
Before he and Mrs. Wan got married, he went to Jiangnan once, and by chance he rescued Qu Ke's biological mother, a female disciple of the Yue Nu Sword Sect, in Huiji.
Qu Ke's biological mother fell in love with Qu Ke's biological father after that, but she knew that Xianfan was different, and the two would eventually embark on different paths, so Hui Jian cut off the love thread and ended this marriage.
Qu Ke's biological father was disheartened after that, ended his career as a prodigal son, returned to Fuling to get married and have children, and died of depression in Qu Qiang's childhood.
After Qu Xiang's biological mother left, Qu Ke's biological mother suddenly found out that she was pregnant and gave birth to Qu Ke the following year. But because she drove away her lover by herself, she couldn't let go of her face and sent Qu Ke to Qu's house again, so she had to raise her alone.
waited until Qu Ke became an adult, and only came to Qu's house two years ago on the order of his mother to recognize his relatives. The old lady of the Qu family knew the absurdity of his son when he was young, but he didn't disown Qu Ke.
It's just that in comparison, Qu Ke and the Qu family are always separated by a layer, only the half-sister Qu Qiang has a deep relationship with her, and she is even closer than twins.
"I see!" Bai Ya nodded, now he knew why Qu Ke had come forward.
"Bai Shaoxia is a Qingcheng master, and his behavior can be regarded as above board, and the little woman should not have blocked this marriage. It's just that...... Sister Qiang already has a place in her heart, and I know that my little sister is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, if she is too forced, I am afraid that she will kill herself!"
Qu Ke sighed and solemnly said a blessing, "I only have such a sister, how can I see her on a dead end! It's just that the Qu family doesn't want to offend the Qingcheng faction, so the little girl has to meddle in this matter, and I hope that Bai Shaoxia will be perfect!"
"Qu Qiang already has a ...... in his heart" Bai Ya only felt extremely awkward in his heart, as if he had swallowed a fly alive, and asked with a gloomy face, "In that case, why did the Qu family come to Qingduguan to make this marriage?"
The old lady didn't know about it until she turned back to Fuling, and Mrs. Wan informed Qiang Mei of the marriage, and she didn't know it from her. Qu Ke smiled bitterly, "Sister Qiang's favorite person is a young scholar who met during the temple fair last year. He knew that he was born poor, so he wanted to wait until he was the first in the imperial examination this year before he came to propose his ......"
Bai Ya took a breath, his heart was a little blocked, and he frowned and was silent.
After learning about this from the Qu family, he grounded Qiang Mei and applied both soft and hard. It's just that Sister Qiang's love is deep-rooted, and she can't live or die, Mrs. Wan has been with her to prevent her from killing herself, so you didn't see her today. ”
Qu Ke Yingying bowed down and said softly, "The little woman knows that this matter makes Bai Shaoxia feel embarrassed, but the marriage of bad people is like a crime, if Shaoxia can fulfill Qiangmei's wish, he will definitely be able to get a heavenly marriage in the future." ”
