Chapter 58
At the end of that day, Qian Tong, under Master Park's pained gaze, asked him, "So, Master, can you please play a trick with me? I'll pretend to agree to the Madam's engagement with you?"
Mr. Park couldn't tell which of her words was more hurtful.
Through tears, he asked her, "What about me, Tong'er? What should I do?"
Qian Tong consoled him, "Just follow your own path. You're so capable and intelligent, and being the Park family's last resort is perfect for you."
Mr. Park looked directly at the woman who said her heart was no longer with him and she was going to run to another man. He smiled at her and said, "What if I don't agree?"
"You will agree." Qian Tong didn't dare to meet his eyes. He lowered his eyes and whispered in a low voice, feeling guilty, "I gave Park Chengjun to Princess Mingfeng."
Park Seung-woo's eyebrows jumped when he heard this.
She continued, "Lan Yizhi is here too. Mingfeng is arrogant and ruthless. She's already unhappy that the Pu family didn't marry her to the eldest son, but instead gave him the second son. If she knew what kind of person the second son was, she'd definitely come after the Pu family. How would they handle this? I wonder how much the head of the Pu family has promised to help arrange this marriage for the palace. How much are the two salt fields in Lianghuai worth annually? Prince Pingchang has taken more than the court has in recent years. If things get out of hand, the palace will surely be reluctant to part with the marriage. Regardless of whether the eldest son agrees or not, Princess Mingfeng's marriage will fall to him."
She actually blamed him.
Mr. Park curled his lips weakly, not knowing whether he was sad or in admiration.
"But before that, if the eldest son pretends to agree to my proposal, and the marriage was arranged by Madam Park and Madam Three, even if Patriarch Park approaches the eldest son, he will have a reason. I'm not sure what the final outcome will be, but I can buy him some time to come up with a foolproof plan, right?"
She hadn't heard a response for a while, so she looked up and saw Mr. Park staring at her. After catching her gaze, Park Chengyu asked in a hoarse voice, "When did you plot against me?"
Qian Tong lowered her head again, her fingers unconsciously twisting around her belt. She didn't answer him, but said, "That night in the Yellow Sea, I pushed him into the sea."
She paused. "But the night I left Yangzhou, I deliberately fell off a cliff to lure him in. He was clearly suspicious, but he still threw himself at me regardless. In twenty years, this is the first time I've met someone who treated me like this." She said, "Mingyi, it's hard not to be moved."
Even though she knew he was good to her too.
He was unable to come out two years ago, not because he had failed himself, but because his legs were broken and he was unable to do anything.
But what she didn't say was that she also experienced a lot that day.
She offered to resign from the position of head of the family to the old lady. She was surrounded by everyone in the Qian family. Her mother knelt down in public and begged her to repay the pain of childbirth and not to be selfish.
She also knelt in the ancestral hall and was beaten with twenty boards.
In the end, she still walked out, with scars all over her body, and went to the door of his Park family to find him.
Just as Park Seung-woo didn't want her to know the truth about his broken leg, Qian Tong would not tell him these things, and he would never know.
After hearing what she said, Park Seung-woo felt as if his heart was pierced by tiny needles.
She was taking advantage of his sincerity, comparing it with that of Prince Song, whom she had only known for three months, and she also told him that he did not love her as much as Prince Song.
Park Chengyu had to say: "Qian Tong, you are so cruel."
Qian Tong knew he was guilty and did not refute.
——
That afternoon, Qian Tong sent a message to Madam Park, "I agree."
Before the news reached Madam Park's ears, the servant outside the door came in and reported: "The Qian family has arrived and said they must see the Seventh Lady, otherwise..."
The Qian family's seventh daughter had been in Haizhou for seven days. The Qian family was understandably anxious and sent someone to visit her, but the third wife asked curiously, "What else could we do?"
The servant lowered his eyes and said, "He, he destroyed the Pu family."
Third Lady: ...
After being stunned for a long while, the Third Madam suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that she couldn't even straighten her waist. "I want to see who is so bold as to destroy my Park family. Bring that person in."
A moment later, Ajin and Fuyin came in.
Ah Jin was a tall and strong man, standing in the courtyard, looking very imposing. When he saw the Third Madam, he changed his arrogance towards the Pu family servant and said politely: "Seventh Madam has been delayed in your house for some time. The family misses you. Please allow Seventh Madam to return quickly."
The Third Madam thought it was one of the heads of the Qian family, but when she saw the two servants, she immediately lost interest and looked gloomy. She thought such people were not qualified to talk to her, so she dismissed them hastily: "What are you in such a hurry? My Pu family's house is not as big as the Qian family's. Are you worried that there is no place for the Seventh Lady to stay? Go back and tell the old lady that I, the Third Madam Park, want to keep the Seventh Lady for a few more days. Let her rest assured that she will not be treated unfairly."
Ajin pinched the outside of his thigh to force himself not to let his legs go weak, but he had been frightened too much in the past few days and the pain no longer had any effect.
Madam Shen, before coming here, we went to Fuzhou, got the Xiaolongtuan, and invited Butler Chai to come out as a guest."
As soon as she finished speaking, the sneer on the Third Madam's face slowly solidified.
Fuzhou, Xiaolongtuan.
The only tea in the Park family.
They were in such a hurry that their clothes hadn't been changed in a few days and were covered in dust. She knew them both.
With their help, they wiped out the tea houses in Fuzhou?
The Third Lady's expression gradually turned cold.
Ah Jin finally recovered and suddenly raised his voice, urging the surrounding ladies to release Qi Niangzi, otherwise Fuzhou's tea, account books, and people would be in vain.
He had a really loud voice, and the eldest lady was afraid that the two would escape, so she locked Qian Tong and the eldest son in the yard next to hers.
Qian Tong was waiting for the eldest lady to come and release the people when he suddenly heard A Jin's rough voice. He was stunned for a moment, thinking it was an illusion, and asked the eldest son: "Did you hear any sound?"
Mr. Park's facial expression had calmed down, and the medicine was ready. He didn't answer her. He stood up and walked to the door and said to the person outside, "Come in and clean up the room."
As soon as the other person opened the door, he threw a handful of powder in his hand at him. After the person fell to the ground, he kicked the door open and looked back at the girl behind him, "Let's go, go your way."
That sunny avenue where he will never exist again.
He continued to stay in the dark gutter, and from then on he was alone and walked on his own.
Qian Tong's mood at this moment was just like when he had just arrived the day before, standing in front of her, not knowing how to face her. He felt the same guilt as she did at this moment, and after thinking a lot, he finally only said "sorry". She also said: "Sorry."
In addition, there was one more sentence: "Thank you, Mingyi, you are really good to me."
Mr. Park: ...
He stopped looking at her and turned forward.
Mr. Park's martial arts skills are not good, but he was able to survive in troubled times and build a fleet on the sea. He has his own self-protection ability and is good at using medicine.
He is good at both saving people and harming people.
Some medicinal powders do not need to be brought close to the person. Once they enter the person's nose, they will disappear without a trace.
When the maidservant beside the eldest lady came over to release the people after hearing the eldest lady's order, she saw the eldest son and the seventh lady had already walked out. The two of them held hands and appeared in front of everyone together.
The moment Ajin and Fuyin saw Qian Tong, they happily called out, "My wife..."
Soon his eyes fell on her hand holding that of Mr. Park, and his expression froze.
What does this mean?
Not only did they see it, but the first and third wives also saw it. Qian Tong's words had already reached the first and third wives' ears. Seeing the two men coming out, the third wife coldly questioned Qian Tong: "Madam Qian is so capable. She came to my Pu family and the next day she sent people to seize my teahouse. How come I didn't know? When did the Qian family become so capable?"
The people in her tea house are not unmatched in martial arts, but they are all extraordinary in their skills.
Can these two people take over the teahouse?
The moment Qian Tong saw the two of them, he guessed what was going on and comforted the Third Madam, "I was too narrow-minded. After all, before I came here, I didn't know that the First Madam and the Third Madam would offer such a good offer."
She ignored the cold expression on the Third Madam's face, glanced at the eldest son beside her, and said with a smile, "Since Mingyi and I have returned to our former selves, we will be a family from now on. The teahouse and the people will naturally be returned to the Third Madam's hands."
She didn't dare to keep the person outside waiting any longer, so Qian Tong didn't stay any longer and said goodbye to the first and third ladies: "I am still a criminal and cannot stay here any longer. I will come to visit you again when the third lady returns to Yangzhou."
She turned around and knelt down to greet the eldest lady. "Aunt, please take good care of yourself. If Mingyi gets angry with you again, tell me and I'll talk to him. When I'm free, I'll go back to Yangzhou to visit you."
The eldest lady smiled, helped her up, and said affectionately, "It's true that I haven't been to Yangzhou for some time. As soon as I hear good news from Madam Qian, I will definitely go back to see her."
Qian Tong nodded, "Don't worry, auntie."
Finally, she said goodbye to the eldest son, "Take care, I'm leaving." After that, she hurriedly left the Park family with Ajin and Fuyin.
"Don't tell him." When he was about to walk out of the mansion, Qian Tong suddenly whispered to the two people behind him.
Ah Jin didn't understand and glanced at Fu Yin beside him. Fu Yin also didn't understand and hurriedly reported: "Madam, Aunt, Prince..."
"I know he's coming. I told you not to tell him what you just saw. Do you understand?"
Ah Jin and Fu Yin were stunned for a moment. Even though their minds were in a mess, they nodded obediently, "I understand."
——
Outside the gate of the Park family is a street with a constant stream of people coming and going, especially at night, when the lights are bright and the noise is bustling.
Qian Tong stepped out of the gate and saw a young man standing next to the carriage opposite.
Even though he was wearing the numb clothes of a servant at this time, it did not affect his posture at all. He held the sword in one hand and placed the other hand behind his back, standing upright in the dim light. His tall figure was like a green pine in the forest late at night.
He glanced sideways at the passers-by, and after a while, as if sensing something, he turned his head and his eyes gently fell on the girl standing in front of the door.
She was intact.
Still smiling at him.
It was agreed that five days would pass, but now, counting from the hour of Hai when she left, eight days had already passed.
