Chapter 711: Strategy for the Blind Villain (7)

Bai Yuer returned to the Marquis' Mansion. She was distracted by the young man she had met at the flower and bird market that day.

The maidservant reminded her many times before she regained her concentration and began to practice calligraphy.

She was about the same age as Shi Yi, but her mother was already looking for a man for her. Although she was the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, her mother obviously doted on her younger sisters more. The men her mother looked for for her were all young men from wealthy families who had power but no talent or substance.

She was used to seeing couples around her who had partnered up for profit, so she hoped even more that she could find a man she could give her heart to and spend her life with him. She did not seek fame and status, but only a "satisfactory" one.

For the first time in 16 years, she blushed for a man.

The man was called "Jia Lu".

"Miss, your handwriting..." The maidservant carefully glanced at her face and reminded her softly, "Your handwriting is crooked."

"Go away, I'll stay here for a while." Bai Yuer put down the brush in her hand, as if she was about to get angry.

The little maid didn't want to offend her, so she bowed and closed the door thoughtfully when she left.

Bai Yuer sat in the rocking chair, thinking of the gentle and elegant Master Jia in white clothes, and smiled sweetly.

His dress and appearance did not look like that of an ordinary family, so he must be a young master from a wealthy family. When she found out his true identity, she would definitely talk to him in person. It's hard to say, the two of them have many common topics.

Master Qu returned to the mansion and went straight to the study.

He casually placed the poison brought from the palace on the desk, and he covered his face and cried bitterly.

"Master, what's wrong?" The old housekeeper came in with a cat-like step and asked in a low voice.

"Call the young master." He covered his face with one hand, and his words still couldn't hide the pain.

The housekeeper looked at the red porcelain bottle on the table, and he had a hunch that it was not a good thing, and he had a hunch that it was not a good thing for the master to call the young master. He still did it.

This was the first time that Qu Jingrong had ever remembered stepping into Master Qu's study. Because he was not familiar with the environment, he was very careful with every step he took, afraid of falling in front of Master Qu and making a bad impression.

Although, Master Qu was not really that concerned about him.

Not long after he entered the study, Qu Shiyi also came, and his cheerful voice echoed in the study, "Daddy, what are you going to say to your brother tonight?"

"Shiyi, what are you doing here?!" Master Qu frowned and scolded, "You step back. I want to talk to Jingrong alone."

"Daddy, why did you avoid me when talking to Jingrong?" Shiyi deliberately pushed Qu Jingrong who was blocking in front of him, and said arrogantly, "Daddy, I am your most beloved daughter. What kind of person is he? Get him out."

Qu Jingrong sneered in his heart.

Qu Shiyi's kindness to him these days has always been superficial, and he almost thought she was starting to get better.

"Shiyi, get out now." Master Qu didn't want his daughter to see such a scene. He knew that his own daughter was a little spoiled and willful, but she was always kind. He caught her eyes on the porcelain bottle on the table. His daughter was always perceptive, and she might have noticed something.

"Dad, I won't go out." Shi Yi walked towards him boldly, and pushed the porcelain bottle on the table to the ground as if she didn't notice it. The lonely pill rolled a long way on the floor tiles before stopping.

Qu Jingrong's heart skipped a beat.

Things might not be as he imagined.

Shi Yi didn't intend to let go of the pill, and crushed it into pieces, then jumped to his father's side.

Master Qu raised his hand and slapped her, "You rebellious girl. My Qu family will be destroyed in your hands."

"Take the young master out." Shi Yi took the slap without dodging, and calmly turned to look at the housekeeper standing in the corner. Master Qu also acquiesced to her order. The

housekeeper closed the door and was about to take the young master away from here, but saw the young man raised his finger and hushed.

He was obviously just a 14-year-old boy, and he was blind, but the housekeeper listened to his words for some reason. After a long time, he finally figured out that the boy gave him the feeling that he was not an ordinary person.

"You know?" Master Qu squatted on the ground and picked up the pill powder dejectedly.

"Dad, I don't know what you are going to do. But I know that I only have this one brother. If you do anything bad to him, I don't mind sacrificing my life." Shi Yi stood in front of him, holding a sharpened dagger in his hand.

The housekeeper sent someone to inform her that the master summoned the young master to the study, and she felt something was wrong. When she came in and saw the red porcelain bottle, everything became clear.

"Don't you always dislike him?" Master Qu just sat on the ground, looking at his daughter and the dagger in her hand.

"It's my business that I don't like him. But I can't bear to see you treat him like this. He is from our Qu Mansion. He has been in our Qu Mansion for fourteen years. Dad, although you seem to be indifferent to him, I know it in my heart. You are concerned about my feelings, so you don't want to have more contact with him."

"Because of his existence, your mother was pissed to death. Haven't you been brooding over this matter all these years? Now that he is dead, your mother's revenge has been avenged. I can also be relieved." Taifu Qu's eyes were full of heaviness.

He and his beloved wife fell in love at first sight. After they secretly decided to spend their lives together, he worked hard to pass the imperial examination and married her. They had their own daughter in the first year of their relationship, and their life was so comfortable and nourishing.

One day in the second year, Wanhua came to him to discuss with him with a big belly, and was seen by his beloved wife. Wanhua was eager for his help at the time, so she lied to his beloved wife and said that this was his child. His beloved wife, ah, has been depressed since then, and passed away in less than a year.

For sixteen years, he had always felt guilty towards his deceased wife, so he had never had the slightest intention of marrying her. He was just waiting to go to the underworld in a hundred years to apologize to her.

"Dad, can my mother come back to life if Qu Jingrong dies? Qu Jingrong was born blind, and he has never been loved by anyone. He is just a child, what crime could he have committed?" Shi placed a dagger on his wrist and threatened, "Dad, I don't care why you want Qu Jingrong to die. But as long as I, Qu Shi, am alive, I will see my brother alive and well. If anything happens to him, you can collect the body for your daughter." The dagger cut across the wrist, blood gushed out, and the sound of it falling to the ground sounded like a landslide in the ears of the young man who was eavesdropping outside the door.

He always knew that she hated him, even hated him, but he didn't know that her mother was angered to death because of his existence. He also didn't know that she would actually use her life to protect him.

He held his wrist tightly.

He never wanted to live a life where he was the butcher's knife and fish at the hands of others.
