"Just now, a palace maid dropped a tray and almost hit that lady. I happened to be next to her, so I just happened to help her. Later, she took the initiative to tell me many things about the capital. Does my husband know that lady?" In the carriage, Ruyi told Li Yi about what had just happened.
Li Yi sighed. There was no need to hide this matter from Ru Yi. He told her the cause and effect of the matter from beginning to end.
"Something like this happened?"
Ruyi was shocked. She didn't expect that the lady she got along well with just now would have such a grudge against the Li family, and it even involved her late father-in-law …
This was the first time she heard about the past, so she felt a little sad. She felt that the lady was too pitiful, but she didn't curse like Miss.Liu.
Seeing that Li Yi seemed to be a little depressed, she quickly comforted him, "My husband, you don't need to blame yourself too much. After all, you weren't born at that time. It's not your fault."
"Seeing her like this, I still feel a little sad," Li Yi said.
"Because my husband is a good person." Ruyi smiled and said, "Even if this didn't happen to us, my husband would still feel bad."
Li Yi shook his head. Li Minghan had already passed away, so this matter had become a dead knot that couldn't be untied. Even if he felt a little guilty, he couldn't do anything about it.
He drove this thought out of his mind, looked down at Ruyi, and revealed an evil smile. He whispered, "Whether your husband is a good person or not, you'll know tonight …"
Ruyi was stunned when she heard this. Then, she seemed to think of something, and her pretty face began to burn.
…
…
"Our Qin Family's face has been completely lost because of you!"
In the Qin family, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe pointed at Qin Yu, who was sitting in the hall, and said angrily.
"How can the Qin family lose face for me?" Both sides of Qin Yu's face were still swollen, making him look quite miserable. Facing the middle-aged man's reprimand, he didn't mind it at all. He picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.
"You, you unfilial son, what did you say?!"
The veins on the middle-aged man's forehead bulged as he strode over. He raised his hand, but when he saw Qin Yu's swollen cheek, he didn't lower his hand.
"Enough." Qin Xiang, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. He looked at Qin Yu with disappointment and said, "Recently, there has been a storm in the imperial court. Our Qin family has also been involved. You'd better restrain yourself."
Qin Xiang didn't say anything about Qin Yu's injury. He subconsciously thought that his grandson had done something shameless again. If this matter was blown out of proportion, he was afraid that it would be even more difficult to clean up.
After this incident, it might not be a bad thing for him to restrain himself a little and be fearful of him.
"Restrain?" A sarcastic smile appeared on Qin Yu's face as he said, "When you killed my mother in front of me, did you ever think of restraining yourself?"
"Unfilial son, what did you say?!" The middle-aged man's body shook when he heard this. He fiercely slammed the table next to him and grabbed Qin Yu's collar. His eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" The sarcastic expression on Qin Yu's face became even stronger. He didn't fear the middle-aged man at all, even if the other party was his father.
The faces of several core members of the Qin family in the hall suddenly changed. They were also one of the participants in that incident, so how could they not remember?
The Qin family's scholarly family valued reputation and chastity the most. How could a woman who didn't abide by the rules of a woman become the first wife of the Qin family?
A family's shame shouldn't be aired in public. That incident couldn't be made public, and it also couldn't tarnish the Qin family's reputation. So, including the head of the family at that time, they strangled the woman to death in front of the Qin family's ancestors. However, who would have thought that Qin Yu, who was only eight years old at that time, was hiding under the table in front of him and watching — watching his mother being strangled to death by his father with his grandfather and uncles standing to the side …
This matter had almost become a taboo in the Qin family. At this time, when Qin Yu brought it up again, everyone felt that they had lost face.
Because of Qin Yu, the Qin family had lost face in front of outsiders many times.
Qin Xiang closed his eyes, and the blue veins on the back of his skinny hand constantly pulsed. After a long time, he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Qin Yu is grounded at home for half a year. Without my permission, he is not allowed to take a step out of the Qin family!"
After saying this, he slowly stood up and quickly disappeared from the hall with the help of an old servant.
Everyone, including the middle-aged man, after glancing at Qin Yu, also stood up and left.
Qin Yu reached out and touched his cheek. Because of the pain, the corners of his mouth twitched instinctively. He said with some regret, "Half a year, it's really a bit long. It's not easy for an interesting person to appear in the capital — what a pity, what a pity!"
… …
… …
"Ah!"
Early in the morning in the Viscount's Mansion, a servant girl suddenly screamed from a room.
Hearing the sound, the housekeeper, Uncle Li, frowned and reprimanded, "Why are you screaming so early in the morning? If you disturb the Young Master and Young Madam, you will lose your reward for this month!"
"Li, Uncle Li, Lord Jue, he …" The servant girl stood at the door and stammered as she handed a letter to Housekeeper Li.
"A letter from the Young Master?" A trace of doubt appeared on Uncle Li's face as he quickly opened the letter. After a moment, the expression on his face changed to one of astonishment and shock.
Not long after, the entire Viscount's Mansion was completely in an uproar.
While the Viscount's Mansion was in chaos, Li Yi stood on the deck, basking in the sun and enjoying the warm wind. Looking at the vast river, he felt every pore on his body open up.
The honeymoon plan and Ruyi had been in preparation for a long time. Finally, this morning, while everyone was still in bed, the two of them sneaked out of the house and experienced the feeling of "eloping".
Thinking about how furious Miss.Liu would be when they sneaked out, he couldn't help but smile.
It was just that it was wrong to hide it from Xiao Huan. She might be sad for a few days, and it was inevitable that her imagination would run wild. If he didn't coax her when he got back, it would be fine. Little girls are the most foolish and easy to fool.
"At this time, it would be great if there was a glass of iced grape wine …"
Li Yi murmured. If he could enjoy the river breeze, drink wine, and recite a few lines of poetry, it would be very coquettish.
"The river flows beyond the heaven and earth, the mountains are in the void."
"The great river flows east, the waves wash away all the heroes of the ages …"
"The lonely sail is far away in the blue sky, only … Eh, what is this river called again …"
… …
… …
Suddenly, a slender hand reached out from the side, two slender fingers holding a wine glass. The glass was clear and transparent, exuding a familiar intoxicating smell. If it wasn't his favorite grape wine, what else could it be?
He subconsciously took the wine glass, and the next moment, Xiao Huan's soft voice came over.
"Young Master, we can't find ice on the boat, so we can only make do."
It was fine if he couldn't find ice, but it was good enough to have wine. His little maid was the most considerate, always delivering what he needed the most at the critical moment.
As Li Yi thought so, he drank the wine in one gulp. Then, he realized that something was wrong. When he turned his head, he saw the little maid standing behind him, smiling like a flower.
Then, he looked to the side, in the direction of the grape wine, and saw Miss.Liu looking at him with a sword in one hand, a cold smile on her face.
"Flirtatious, continue flirtatious …"
