Chapter 429 Making things difficult
Wu Mansion? This is the last resort of the Wu family.
Song Ruize knew that there would be another open and secret struggle. He didn't want Qin Huiyin to see these dark things, or more precisely, he didn't want her to see himself being so cruel.
He was worried that if she saw him like this, she would be disgusted, scared, and want to stay away from him.
"Yinyin, I'll take you back first." Song Ruize said.
"I'll go back by myself." Qin Huiyin also knew that he had to deal with these things. She couldn't help him. The only thing she could do was to be obedient and make him worry less.
"No, I want to take you back." Song Ruize said, "Let's go!"
Song Ruize usually traveled by horse, but today he opted for a carriage. The Wu man was like a mad dog that wouldn't let go of its bite. To make things worse for him, he'd always target those around him. Chen Yong's planned marriage to the Li family wasn't a secret; he could easily find out by sending someone to inquire, and this became his ploy to control him. If he knew his weak spot was the girl by his side, he'd be sceptical of even more underhanded tactics. He wasn't afraid of Wu's tactics, but he absolutely wouldn't allow them to be used against Yinyin.
Qin Huiyin returned to Tang's house.
When Song Ruize saw her enter the house, he said to the driver, "Go to Li's house."
"Miss Xia is here," the housekeeper said. "She's in Madam's yard now."
Qin Huiyin nodded, turned and headed towards the courtyard of Li Taohua and Tang Dafu.
Before entering the yard, I heard the voices of Xia Ruwan and Li Taohua talking and laughing.
"After I heard what they said, I immediately sent someone to find out what happened. It turned out the woman was a prostitute. The brothel owner forced her to entertain clients, so she jumped out of a window and escaped. The brothel attendants chased her for several blocks before finally catching up with her. The eldest son of the Zhu family heroically rescued her from the brothel attendants and even bought her freedom."
Li Taohua covered her mouth with a smile and said, "The eldest son of the Zhu family has lived in a tortoise shell for many years. His aloofness is his way of protecting himself. In fact, he longs for recognition from others. I guess the reason he set his sights on our Yinyin must be because that silly girl Yinyin praised him, making him feel like he had met a close friend. Now a delicate young lady comes and regards him as a benefactor and a lifesaver. Wouldn't he be so happy? Now it depends on whether this young lady is smart enough. If she is smart enough, she can cling to the thigh of the young master of the Zhu family and live a life of ease and comfort."
"What are you talking about? You look so happy?" Qin Huiyin walked into the yard. "Look who this rare guest is. It turns out to be the eldest daughter of the Xia family."
"What's the point of being so rude?" Xia Ruwan put one hand on her waist and glared at her. "Your brother just suffered a minor injury. Is it necessary to hold such a grudge against him?"
"Is it because of this? Ask yourself, I am worried about you, a heartless person who abandoned your sisters after you got a man." Qin Huiyin said, hugging Li Taohua's arm, "Mom, you don't know what this person has been busy with recently. Let me tell you..."
"Oh, I don't want you to tell me, I'll tell it myself." Xia Ruwan interrupted her coquettishly, "I don't know what this serious matter will become if you tell it."
Xia Ruwan hesitantly confessed her relationship with the eldest son of the Li family.
Li Taohua smiled and said, "Who can you hide that from? It's only a matter of time. I just didn't expect you young people to be so brave and act so quickly."
"Aunt Li, do you also think we will be together?" Xia Ruwan said shyly.
Li Taohua looked at Xia Ruwan's wound, which only had a shallow mark left, and said, "To know a man's sincerity, don't listen to what he says, but look at what he does. That guy didn't say anything nice, but his actions have long proved his sincerity. It's just that the situation of the Li family is a bit complicated. As far as I know, he hasn't yet completely gained control of the Li family."
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't get the reins of the Li family. I'll support him. He's so smart. If he works with me to develop the Xia family, we won't even be able to look down on the Li family's wealth!"
"Look at you, you told me today in the East Building that we hadn't even started dating yet, and now you keep saying 'we' and even have your future life planned out. I didn't see you this carried away before with the guy from the Rong family. I think you're truly in love this time, right?" Qin Huiyin mocked her. "Once a woman falls in love, her brain starts to fail. Young Master Li is so smart, if he's serious about it, you're no match for him."
"When he's sincere to me, he's the best in the world in my eyes. If he's not good to me, then naturally gold and silver are the best. You can rest assured that my Xia family's assets will only be managed by the Xia family. Even if he and I get married and have children, I won't let him interfere in my family's affairs."
Qin Huiyin said to Li Taohua, "Mom, do you believe it?"
Li Taohua answered seriously: "Wan'er is quite smart."
Xia Ruwan said proudly: "Aunt Li knows me best."
"If you said anything on a normal day, I would definitely believe it 100%. But now, I still believe it, but not much." Li Taohua said, "I believe a few words out of ten!"
"Aunt Li, you bully me too." Xia Ruwan stomped her feet.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Song Yi came in from outside and said to Li Taohua, "Madam, you asked your subordinates to find out about the Second Young Master, and I found out."
"How is he now? Has he been bullied in Prince Zhong's mansion?" Li Taohua asked.
"Prince Zhong's Mansion still needs him to treat Princess Yuanying, and they are quite polite to him. Prince Zhong has given Second Young Master everything he asked for. So far, Second Young Master is very safe."
"I knew that kid was smart and wouldn't be easily bullied." Li Taohua felt relieved. "But we can't let our guard down. We still need to send someone to monitor the situation over there. If we find anything amiss, notify the Young Master immediately."
"There are people from Lord Song in Prince Zhong's Mansion. Once there is any news, he will pass it on. Madam, just rest assured." Song Yi did not forget to speak well of his old master at this time.
No matter what, the brothers were all rescued by Song Ruize. Although Song Ruize handed the four of them over to Qin Huiyin, in their hearts, apart from Qin Huiyin, the most important one was Song Ruize, their old master. The old master did good things without leaving his name, so he had to help him spread the word to those who should know, otherwise he would suffer a great loss.
"He had good intentions," Li Taohua said in frustration. "I really should have..."
Don't think about it anymore. Thinking too much won't change anything. If that boy needs her help in the future, she will do her best to help him. Just like having another relative to visit.
To be honest, my daughter was smart. She saw that the boy was no ordinary person and made friends with him early on, so she didn't have an extra scary enemy.
