Old house. In the courtyard.
Osmanthus flowers were fragrant in October, but there was a golden osmanthus tree in the courtyard that bloomed a little late. It was only deep into winter that it emitted that frightening rich fragrance.
General Xing knelt under the Golden Osmanthus Tree, resisting the invasion of the fragrance while enduring the blows from the feather duster.
Pa —
General Xing was hit on the head.
Pa —
The feather duster hit his skull again.
Pa —
Pa —
Pa —
After a dozen or so lashes, Old Man Xi Fu threw the feather duster in his hand onto the ground. He walked to the stone table and sat down. He picked up a cup of tea that was still steaming and took a sip.
"Do you know why I didn't slap your face?" Jiang Xi Fu held the teacup and asked General Xing who was kneeling there.
"Because you're afraid that you'll ruin your face and your grandson won't be able to go out and meet people —" General Xing said in a low voice.
"Yes. Don't hit people in the face. I've always told you this — why don't you listen? "The Cherishing Fortune Old Man said with a face full of regret. "What you're doing isn't just slapping the Qin Clan's face. You're practically stepping on their heads and shitting on them. This is a huge mistake that will cause them to become enemies."
"Grandpa, I know I was wrong. This matter — I really had no other choice." General Xing straightened his spine and looked straight into Old Man Jiang Xifu's eyes, saying: "I really like Jun Ling, and she has deep feelings for me. The two of us are sincerely in love — I know what I'm doing is wrong, and I've thought about leaving her. But Lord Jun didn't agree. I was soft-hearted and couldn't make a decision. Originally, I wanted to wait until Lord Jun got married before completely severing our relationship. I didn't expect … I didn't expect something like this to happen. "
"Scoundrel." Jiang Xi Fu slammed his palm on the stone table, and angrily shouted: "What do you mean unable to restrain yourself? You're too daring for lust. You clearly knew that Li Junling was already engaged to the Qin Family, yet you still dared to tempt him to do such an immoral thing. If the Qin Family did this to our Jiang Family, how would you deal with it? The hatred of killing my father and stealing my wife is absolutely irreconcilable. "
"Now is the crucial moment in the battle between you and Fang Yan. In order to prevent the Qin family from participating in the battle, we offered a huge condition, but what was the result? Not only did you fail to balance your relationship with the Qin Family, you even dragged the Qin Family down with you. If a man can't control his own waistband, what future can he have? "
Old Man Xifu's gaze turned sharp. He looked at General Xing and said, "Do you think that — now that the military order is gone, I have no other candidates? Is that why you are so unbridled? Let me tell you, General, we still have many outstanding youths in the General Family. With just a bit of polishing, they are all good materials. "
"Grandpa, I'm sorry —" General Xing's knees were pressed against the cold concrete floor as he said in a deep voice, "I know I did something wrong. I will definitely find a way to make it up to you. I promise I'll take care of this — "
"How are you going to deal with this?" Old Man Cherishing Fortune asked as he looked at General Xing.
General Xing hesitated slightly, but still said frankly, "Since it's already happened, it's already impossible for us to reconcile with the Qin Family — since it's like this, it's better to take the initiative and drag them into the quagmire. We don't want to fight with the Qin Family until both sides suffer, and the Qin Family naturally has the same thoughts. If we take the initiative and let the Qin Family feel our aggressiveness, maybe they will retreat — "
"Hm?"
"After the Qin Family finds out about this, they will definitely be furious. Jun Ling's side — I'm afraid the pressure will be great. This matter has touched their bottom line, they definitely won't take it lying down. Qin Qiang has a high heart but shallow talent, and is extremely concerned about face. He will definitely think of a way to get back at them — Jun Ling's situation is very dangerous. " General Xing looked at Grandfather Jiang Xifu and said, "I have wronged Jun Ling in this matter. She is the most innocent person here. As a responsible man, I will stand up for Jun Ling. I will go to the Li Family to propose marriage and officially marry Li Junling — otherwise, I'm afraid she won't be able to persevere. I ask Grandpa for your approval. "
A divine light flashed in Jiang Xifu's eyes, and he instantly returned to his old and muddy appearance.
He looked at his grandson for a long time, then said in a low voice, "Since you have already decided, then do it — — this is your last test. If you succeed, you will be a dragon, if you fail, you will be a worm. That is all. "
"Yes," General Xing respectfully responded. "I definitely won't disappoint Grandpa."
After General Xing left, Old Man Jiang Xifu held a cup of tea that was gradually cooling in a daze.
"Pitiful woman — —" Jiang Xifu muttered to himself — —
"The Qin Family and the Jiang Family have started a war, I knew they would definitely start a war — —"
"This is too exciting, the Jiang Family's General Xing made a cuckold out of the Qin Family's Qin Qiang, and the Qin Family immediately retaliated and eliminated Li Junling — — the Qin Family's methods, tsk tsk tsk — —"
"I heard that the Jiang Family wanted to kill them to silence them, in order to put this shit on the Qin Family's head, so that the Qin Family won't be able to say anything — —"
After the video was released, there was a short period of silence between the Qin Family and the Jiang Family, then the situation became intense.
Hua Xia country's famous piano master, Li Boyong, brought the female protagonist of the video, Li Junling, to the Qin Family to apologize, but on the way back, the luxurious car they were riding in crashed into a ravine, killing both of them. During the crash, the car exploded, and the father and daughter were burned into charcoal.
At the same time, General Xing brought generous gifts and a matchmaker to the Li Family to propose marriage, hoping that the Li Family and the Qin Family would officially cancel the marriage, and fulfill his and Li Junling's hard-to-sever relationship — —
He didn't wait for Li Junling to return, but he received news that Li Junling had gotten into a car accident.
It was said that after receiving the news, General Xing cried bitterly, and even smashed many of the Li Family's things, clenching his teeth and yelling "they've gone too far."
Who was the one going too far?
The onlookers made all sorts of interpretations of this.
Some people said it was obvious, this was the Qin Family going too far. Although Li Junling had already apologized to the Qin Family, Li Boyong had already brought his daughter to the Qin Family to apologize, but on the way back, they got into a car accident. It was obvious that the Qin Family wanted to show their power to the Jiang Family. The woman that the Qin Family couldn't get, the Jiang Family shouldn't even think about getting.
Some people said that General Xing was deliberately setting up a trap. General Xing knew that this time, he had angered the Qin Family, and that a war was inevitable, so he might as well kill them to silence them, and then pour the dirty water on the Qin Family, making them unable to extricate themselves from the quagmire, and also accept the attacks and judgment of public opinion — —
The war had already begun!
While the outside was in an uproar, Fang Yan was sitting in Qin Yitian's villa, drinking tea.
He was drinking tea that Qin Yitian had personally grown and personally picked. To be honest, the taste of the tea really wasn't that great, far from the top-grade tea that the Qin Family had all year round — — but, Young Miss Qin had kindly brought the tea in front of you, waiting for your evaluation with a face full of expectation, so how could you not give a few polite words of praise?
"It's really good tea," Fang Yan said with a face full of enjoyment. "The last time I came here, I already felt that these tea leaves weren't ordinary, but now I know that they were personally picked by Yi Tian — — like I said, other than the fact that Qin Yitian can't pick the stars from the sky, there's nothing in this world that's too difficult for her — —"
"There's another thing — —" Qin Yitian had a mischievous smile, and said: "Qin Yitian also can't pick the heart of a man."
"Cough, cough, cough — —" Fang Yan coughed violently. With a red face and a thick neck, he said: "That's because that man has eyes but can't see."
"Not really," Qin Yitian sighed softly, and said: "That's because that man chose a better woman."
Seeing the regret on Qin Yitian's face, Fang Yan's mood was also a bit heavy, and he said softly: "It's not about who's better than who, it's only about suitability — —"
"How do you know that I'm not suitable?" Qin Yitian interrupted Fang Yan and asked.
"— —"
Seeing that Fang Yan was once again speechless by her question, Qin Yitian giggled.
After laughing for a while, her face became gloomy again, and she said: "You're getting married, right?"
"Yes. The eighth of the twelfth lunar month. "Fang Yan nodded.
"So annoying," Qin Yitian said.
"— —"
"If you're like other men, when I ask such a question, you lie and say that there's no such thing — — but if you were that kind of man, I wouldn't like you so much — —"
"I think with your conditions, you can find a better man — — what kind of man in this world can resist your charm?" Fang Yan said with a smile.
"Yes. Everyone says that, my mother also told me that — — but no one cares about the main point of the matter, the main point is that the man I like is you — — "
"— —"
"You see, you don't know what to say again. I understand you — — if I were you, I probably wouldn't know what to say either — — "Qin Yitian pursed his lips and chuckled. "But if I were you, I might not meet another girl like me who always says the words like and love — — when I think about it this way, I feel that this world is so boring. So, I'll stick to being myself, and you should stick to being yourself. I'll continue to like you, and you should continue to be the person I like. "
"Will you come to my wedding?" Fang Yan asked carefully. "In Swallow Dock, it's an old-fashioned wedding. You might think it's old-fashioned and boring — —"
Qin Yitian glanced at Fang Yan, with a faint smile on his face, and asked: "Mr. Fang, are you afraid that I'll ruin your wedding?"
