Chapter 100
She patted her head, trying to knock out the troubles entangled in her mind, but it didn't seem to help. She was staring at the account book in her hand, but her eyes were disobedient, and she didn't read a word.

He simply lost the account book, left the cloth shop, and wandered aimlessly in the streets and alleys of the Daqi capital.

It has been three years since she came here, but she still feels strange, except for Xiao Shilian, she has no fetters here.

I don't know how long I walked, but when I returned home, I only felt that my legs were sore and weak.

Qiqiao walked back and forth outside the courtyard, as if she was in a hurry.

"Qiqiao." She called out.

Qiqiao heard the sound and ran towards her, she was anxious to hear the sound, "Miss, you are back."

She asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's Young Master Hongjia, I don't know how he has the face to propose to the adults to marry the young lady." After Qiqiao learned about this, she was in a hurry.

She was so angry that she scolded Hongjia for being shameless, she dared to think about the young lady after doing such a thing, but she was afraid that the adults would be soft-hearted for a while, if she really agreed with him, what should she do?

Shen Cu was not as flustered as Qi Qiao, she asked, "What's Daddy's attitude?"

Qi Qiao didn't know what the lord's attitude was, she shook her head, "I only know that Master Hongjia went to find the lord." She added, "It was to marry the young lady."

"Don't panic, follow me to see Daddy." Based on what she knew about Qi Shilang, he would not agree to this matter.

Outside the study, she saw Yu Cai, so she asked him, "Is Daddy in there?"

"Miss Fifth." Yu Cai nodded at her, "My lord is inside."

"But there are others?"

Yu Cai shook his head, "Only an adult."

She asked again, "Has Cousin Hongjia been here?"

Yu Cai didn't hide anything, "Master Hongjia came to look for your lord, but he left before a stick of incense."

Shen Tu understood, and knocked on the study door with his hand suspended in midair.

Soon, Qi Shilang's response came from inside.

"Come in."

Shen Tu pushed the door open, then closed it again.

"Daddy," she called.

Qi Shilang raised his head, "Why are you here?"

"Daddy, Ye'er wants to ask Daddy about something."

Qi Shilang asked, "What's the matter?"

"Cousin Hongjia, he..." She stopped abruptly in the middle of her words.

With her head down, she could neither see the expression on Qi Shilang's face nor the emotion in her eyes.

"Hongjia came to see me just now." Qi Shilang didn't intend to hide it, "He said something to me and made a promise to me."

"He wants to marry you." Qi Shilang simply told her the purpose of Hongjia's coming.

As expected, as Qiqiao said, he really came to talk to Qi Shilang about this matter.

"Daddy, I don't..."

Before she finished speaking, she asked Qi Shilang to interrupt.

"Daddy has made it clear to him." Qi Shilang said, "He won't think about it again."

If it was as she guessed, Qi Shilang would not agree, so she was also relieved.

The matter of Hongjia is over.

"But Ye'er wants to tell Daddy what happened last night?" Qi Shilang thought about it and felt that something was wrong, if Hongjia and Suiyun were really in that room, Qin Yurong would not call him away.

Shen Tu's voice was full of tears, as if she felt aggrieved by being wronged, she said to Qi Shilang, "Father, Ye'er doesn't know why mother insists that Cousin Hongjia and I are in that room."

"Mother held a family dinner yesterday, and Chanjuan came to my room to call me, so I hurried away."

Qi Shilang asked her, "What family banquet? How could I not know?"

Shen Tu shook his head, "Mother only said it was a family feast. After I went there, I found that there were only mother and cousin Hongjia."

"I couldn't resist drinking, but my mother said that it's okay to be drunk at home. I couldn't refuse, so I had a drink."

Shen Tu's words made Qi Shilang frowned, and he asked, "What next?"

"Then I got a little drunk, and my mother disappeared, so I braced myself and went out to call my maid, Qiqiao."

Qi Shilang didn't doubt the truth of Shen Tu's words, and Shen Tu did not say a single lie, but she omitted some of the plots.

"Suiyun was in that room when you left?" Qi Shilang asked her.

She shook her head.

"Ridiculous." Qi Shilang threw his sleeves and said angrily, "How dare you falsely accuse Hongjia and you, if I don't lift the quilt of that couple today, you will be slandered and ruin your innocence."

"Daddy." Shen Tu burst into tears immediately, "Yi'er has been wronged, and I ask Daddy to make decisions for Ye'er."

Although Miss Wu is not favored in the mansion, she is Qi Shilang's child after all. The matter of Qi Yue has already buried great resentment in Qi Shilang's heart, but due to the power of the Duke's Mansion, he can only swallow his anger.

But today is different, her Qin family has only just been promoted to a sixth-rank official position, and she dares to use this despicable means to cling to his Qi family.

It's not that he, Qi Shilang, is ignorant. It's not that he can't see what kind of plan Qin Yurong had in today's incident.

"Don't worry." He comforted Shen Tu, "Daddy will definitely make the decision for you."

Hongjia ran into a wall with his uncle, so he had to go back, but he was really unwilling, so he had to go to his aunt again.

Qin Yurong was leaning on the couch with her eyes closed, while Chanjuan's dexterous hands were gently rubbing her to relieve her headache.

Hongjia called "Auntie" before entering the room.

"Ma'am, Master Hongjia is here." Chanjuan whispered in her ear.

Qin Yurong didn't even lift her eyes, "Just say that my headache has stopped and tell him to come back later."

"Yes."

Chanjuan got the order, so she got up and walked outside.

Hongjia was about to enter the house, but Chanjuan stopped him.

"Where's my aunt?" Hongjia asked her.

"Master Hongjia, please keep your voice down, Madam's headache has stopped, so please come back later, Master Hongjia!"

"Why does my aunt have a headache?" Hongjia poked his head and looked into the room, and he asked Chanjuan again, "Did you call the doctor?"

Chanjuan didn't want to talk to him, she just said, "I already called the doctor, if Master Hongjia has something to ask his wife, please come back later."

Chanjuan has already said so, Hongjia can only give up.

He said, "Then I'll come back when my aunt gets better."

Chanjuan nodded to him, "Master Hongjia, please come back today!"

My uncle hit a wall, and my aunt didn't see me again. Hongjia was really upset. He lowered his head and didn't look at the way ahead.

Qi Yanhong had seen him a long time ago, and only waited for him to walk on the stone bridge before bumping him hard on purpose.

Immediately there was a "plop", and Hongjia fell into the pool under the stone bridge. Hongjia didn't understand water, so she thumped in the water and called for help.

The servants saw it and wanted to jump down to save others, but Qi Yanhong reached out to stop them, and they could only watch from the sidelines.

Hongjia was choked up several times, frightened and terrified, and her strength was almost throbbing.
