Chapter 65 Liu Qingyue thought about it carefully, and still…

After thinking it over carefully, Liu Qingyue decided that it would be better to bring up this matter with her mother alone.

Qin Ren is the brother-in-law, and if he brings up the matter of returning to the capital with the Qi family, it will inevitably cause the Qi family to have many thoughts.

No matter how good Qin Ren was to the Qi family, they were still outsiders to the Qi family.

Liu Qingyue was different. Liu Qingyue was her own flesh and blood. No matter what Liu Qingyue said to her, she would subconsciously find a reason for him.

Even if Liu Qingyue said something innocuous, she wouldn't really take it to heart.

So, a day later, Liu Qingyue came to Qi Shi herself and mentioned that she wanted to send her back to the capital.

Liu Qingyue: "I insisted on bringing you along because I thought you could have a good life with me. But I didn't expect the weather here to be so hot and humid. I was worried that it wouldn't be good for your health to stay here with me. It's better to send you back now that the weather is still warm."

Qi Shi didn't think much of it when she heard this; in fact, she also wanted to return to the capital.

Now that Liu Qingyue is married, Qin Ren has always treated her very well.

She couldn't help but worry about her eldest son, who was far away in the capital.

Her eldest son is still unmarried, and Ke'er has a somewhat weak personality, so she is a little worried about their situation.

Now that Qi Shi heard that Liu Qingyue wanted to send her back, she felt it was just right.

She also felt that the South was too humid, and she really wasn't used to it here.

Especially with the recent constant rain, her discomfort has become even more pronounced.

Madam Qi: "Alright, I'll pack my things and leave in the next few days. After I'm gone, you must live a good life with the Marquis and try to control your temper a little."

Liu Qingyue looked helpless upon hearing this. "Mother, I'm much better behaved than before, so please don't worry about me."

He can clean up by himself now, which would have been impossible before.

Although Madam Qi also felt that Liu Qingyue had become much more obedient, she still couldn't help but want to give her a few more words of advice.

“Sometimes you are too willful, so it’s not surprising that your mother worries about you. Also, you should hurry up and have a child with the Marquis. Only when you have a child can your position in the Marquis’s mansion be secure.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue wanted to retort.

Qin Ren himself isn't in a hurry to have children. He's ten years younger than Qin Ren, so what's there for him to be in a hurry for?

Furthermore, Qin Ren wasn't an ancient man who valued offspring as much.

Qin Ren cared more about his health than about his child, which is why he was reluctant to let him have children at such a young age.

However, considering that the Qi family was unaware of the situation, Liu Qingyue didn't bother to refute anything.

Liu Qingyue: "I understand. We're preparing to have a baby now."

Qi: That's good. It would be best if you could have a son in one go, then you wouldn't have to suffer so much.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue muttered softly, "But my husband and I have already agreed that our first child will be a daughter."

Hearing his mutterings, Madam Qi couldn't help but say with a helpless expression, "I am just a woman, and being a woman or a young master in this world is not easy."

"But... my husband is a marquis, so... we can protect her."

"You make it sound nice, but whether you have a daughter, a son, or a girl, that's not something you can decide."

Liu Qingyue felt that what Qi said made sense; this was indeed not something he could decide.

He learned from watching parenting-related educational videos that the sex of a child is determined by the man's constitution.

That's good, so no matter what happens between him and Qin Ren in the future, he won't have to take the blame on himself.

Lady Qi left three days later, accompanied by many guards and attendants.

Liu Qingyue was always worried that she would suffer, so she took five hundred taels of silver from her own savings and gave it to her.

Qi knew that Liu Qingyue had money now, and five hundred taels of silver was not a large sum for him.

In addition, since Liu Qingyue also ran a shop, she didn't stand on ceremony with her.

It's good for her to have the money. We don't know what the situation is like in the capital. Having more money in her hands will give her more confidence.

After sending Qi Shi away, Liu Qingyue handed the shop over to Qin Ren, and then planned to return to the modern world to prepare for pregnancy.

Liu Qingyue wasn't worried because she had hired a helper at the shop and Qin Ren was watching over it, so nothing would go wrong.

He didn't explain anything to the others when he left, because most of the remaining people were servants, and Liu Qingyue didn't need to explain anything to them.

Qin Ren accompanied Liu Qingyue back on the day she returned.

Qin Ren reinforced the door locks in his modern home again after returning.

The room with the bronze door has two locks for security.

When Qin Ren returned this time, he simply installed a door at the entrance to the staircase leading from the first floor to the second floor.

This door is also an iron gate. One advantage of this type of door is that you can see what's inside before you enter.

If she sees danger inside the door, Liu Qingyue can avoid it in time.

After securing the door, Qin Ren placed all the important weapons on a cabinet.

He said to Liu Qingyue, "The composite bow is on the first floor, the pepper spray and other weapons are on the second floor. You can keep your stun gun with you and leave it in the bedroom."

Many weapons are kept in the living room cabinet. Liu Qingyue mainly stays in the living room and bedroom. Now that so many security measures have been taken at home, a stun gun in the bedroom is enough.

Liu Qingyue nodded, then raised her chin like a lord and said to Qin Ren, "Sit down, we need to discuss something."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ren sat down next to him, intending to see what serious remarks he would make.

Liu Qingyue: "If the child is really born, what if... the child can't come with us to ancient times? Have you thought about who you'd find to take care of him?"

Qin Ren often spends time in ancient times, and Liu Qingyue, as his husband, will definitely accompany him there.

He didn't want to have the child and then struggle to raise it alone. Nor did he want Qin Ren to suffer on both sides for the sake of the child.

Therefore, the best solution is to hire a trustworthy person to take care of the child.

However, this is a society governed by the rule of law, and the buying and selling of slaves is not allowed.

If she didn't buy and sell slaves, Liu Qingyue always felt that she couldn't trust the people she hired.

Since it concerned their own flesh and blood, Liu Qingyue was still very cautious.

Qin Ren: "I've already thought about it. There are quite a few people in my hometown who don't have jobs, so we can hire them to take care of the children. I don't trust other people, but I can ask my relatives in the Qin family. There are a few relatives who are quite good."

Liu Qingyue: "Have you thought about how to explain my relationship with them, and how to explain the child that suddenly appeared?"

Qin Ren: "I'll tell you, you're a man, you're my boyfriend. You're a rich young master, and you're only with me because I'm good-looking. I'm able to buy a house and find a good job now, all because of you. If I say that, even if you don't work in the future, they won't think anything of it, they'll just think that rich people are really good."

"What about the child?"

“Just say the child is your sister’s. Your sister is a single mother who left the child with you to take care of after her divorce so she could be a successful career woman. That way, even if the child looks like you, they won’t find it strange.”

"But...he's your child too. What if he looks more like you in the end?"

"There's no sign of a child yet. If it were me, I'd have to think of another excuse."

Liu Qingyue shook her head, feeling that it was a bit unreliable.

He thought that if the key worked, he might as well have his mother come over.

Firstly, my mother can retire here, and the medical conditions here are significantly better than in ancient times.

Secondly, with Grandma coming to take care of things here, they can find a nanny with peace of mind. With Grandma keeping an eye on the nanny from time to time, they don't have to worry about the nanny mistreating the child.

With that in mind, Liu Qingyue told Qin Ren.

Qin Ren: "But we've already sent Mother away."

Liu Qingyue looked troubled. "Forget it, forget it, let's get pregnant first."

You shouldn't be troubled by this since you're not pregnant yet.

After Qin Ren brought Liu Qingyue back, he stayed in the modern world for an afternoon before leaving.

It wasn't until two days later that Qin Ren had the opportunity to return.

There were many things to do in ancient times: Liu Qingyue's shop, the new house being built, and various matters, big and small, in the fiefdom. Qin Ren had to handle every single one of them, so he was quite busy during this period.

Qin Ren brought a lot of things back with him this time.

Among them were herbs for high school classmates, and some ancient silks and satins.

Ancient silks and satins were quite beautiful; even a single piece would be considered an antique in modern times.

Qin Ren thought he might as well bring some back and see if anyone who knew their stuff would be willing to buy them at a high price.

He happened to be staying in the modern world for the next few days, mainly to wait for his high school classmates and others to come and buy herbs, so he thought he might as well take this opportunity to find a buyer.

J City is not far from Qin Ren's hometown.

After Qin Ren returned, he called his high school classmate.

My high school classmate didn't come in person; he sent a man and a woman to inspect the goods.

Then they not only took a fancy to the herbs, but also bought a piece of Yun brocade from Qin Ren.

They bought three herbs in total.

A ginseng plant, a lingzhi mushroom plant, and a he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum).

Qin Ren still had a snow lotus in his hand, but because snow lotus is a protected plant here, Qin Ren didn't dare to take it out and sell it to them.

The three medicinal herbs sold for a total of 50,000, and the brocade sold for 30,000, for a total income of 80,000.

Qin Ren acquired these items through purchase, and after deducting the purchase price, he only made less than 50,000 yuan.

From this perspective, reselling herbs isn't exactly profitable, and it's quite troublesome.

Compared to herbs, which are expensive both in ancient and modern times, Qin Ren felt that brocade was more profitable.

Afterwards, Qin Ren stayed at home with Liu Qingyue while contacting several buyers who liked to collect things, and sold the remaining cloth at a high price.

The remaining six bolts of cloth sold for nearly 180,000.

As for the snow lotus, Qin Ren didn't sell it since he wasn't short of money.

He thought he might as well keep it for himself, in case he needed to ask someone for a favor in the future.

The people who need Qin Ren to ask for favors are usually those who are very rich and powerful.

Such people lack nothing that money can buy.

Therefore, when you need to get something done by such a person, you need to bring something they don't usually see.

For example, precious wild herbs.

Qin Ren's high school classmate was a nouveau riche; he didn't care about many things that money could buy.

For example, when he's doing business with someone now, he's embarrassed to give them money directly because it would make him seem insincere.

To show his sincerity, he went to such lengths and went to great lengths to obtain these rare herbs from Qin Ren.

If Qin Ren needs someone to do something in the future, the situation will be similar to that of his high school classmates.

When he needs someone to do him a favor, the gift he receives must be rare and special.

Qin Ren handed the snow lotus to Liu Qingyue, saying, "Keep this safe; it might come in handy in the future."

Liu Qingyue nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, I'll put it with my dowry."

After Liu Qingyue put her things away, she pulled Qin Ren to watch a horror movie together.

He wanted to watch it yesterday, but unfortunately he was alone at the time, so he was a little afraid to watch it by himself.

Now that Qin Ren is back, he wants Qin Ren to watch it with him.

Qin Ren was pulled to sit down by Liu Qingyue, who reached out and hugged him while asking, "Weren't you afraid of these things?"

Liu Qingyue sat comfortably in his arms, leaning her entire body against his chest.

Liu Qingyue: "Yes, I am scared, but you're here now. I'm not scared when you're by my side."

Qin Ren smiled upon hearing this, and he turned his head to kiss Liu Qingyue on the cheek.

"But I'm going back tomorrow."

"It's okay, I won't be scared tomorrow."

Liu Qingyue is a carefree person. He is only afraid at the moment. After a day or two, he will no longer feel afraid.

As Liu Qingyue said this, she turned on the horror movie she had already searched for.

As soon as he started watching the video, he instinctively shrank into Qin Ren's arms.

Seeing this, Qin Ren laughed and said, "It hasn't even started yet, and you still say you're not afraid."

Horror movies aren't scary from the very beginning; there's usually a process involved.

Liu Qingyue heard Qin Ren say this, but she did not respond.

He adjusted his posture in Qin Ren's arms, choosing a half-reclining, half-leaning position against Qin Ren's chest.

This is a good position; if he sees something terrifying, he can just bury his head in Qin Ren's arms.

He was now nestled in Qin Ren's arms, the place where he felt safest and most at ease.

Seeing his cautious demeanor, Qin Ren stopped laughing at him and instead took a thin blanket and draped it over him.

The air conditioner is on at home, and the temperature is a bit low.

Liu Qingyue felt a little cold, and Qin Ren was worried that he might catch a cold.
