Chapter 33 She gets all the benefits, and he takes all the punishments
Sheng Hongyu had a thousand things he wanted to complain about, but they were all stuck in his throat, and he didn't know where to start.
In terms of status, he was several levels lower than Duke Qin. In addition, Qin Sheng, that bastard, put a hat on him, and Qin Xinghuai, that old bastard, put another hat on him that caused discord in the family.
No matter how much he said, it seemed like he was just quibbling.
Forget it, it’s his fault that he owed that bastard Qin Sheng a favor.
And since he can find Sheng Nian Yao, he can just let him be scolded. It won’t hurt him anyway, and Duke Qin won’t be so crazy as to kill him.
Sheng Hongyu quickly comforted himself, lowered his head and started to act like a coward, with a cowardly look of accepting beatings and scolding without saying a word. Qin Xinghuai couldn't help but frown, and his eyes gradually became filled with disgust.
After scolding Sheng Hongyu, Qin Xinghuai turned his attention to Qin Sheng.
The scolding became even harsher.
"Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? This old bastard invited you to visit a brothel and you actually showed up? Before, I told you to visit more brothels and chased you away, but you refused to come and insisted on hanging out with those guys. Now, you come running here just because I told you to?"
"Why come at this time when you can't come any other time? Where do you want to put Yi An?"
"Qin Sheng, just go ahead and do it. Don't you know what your situation is? How many girls in Shengjing are willing to marry you?"
"Yi An was the one you specifically asked to marry, and it's only the second day of your wedding, and this is how you treat her?"
"If I had known that you would be so unrestrained even after you got married, why would I have to lose face and ruin her life?"
Listening to Duke Qin scolding Qin Sheng outside the window, Chu Yian felt guilty. He felt guilty and at the same time thought it was a bit unkind to leave Qin Sheng there alone to face the old duke's anger.
Moreover, the old Duke's words were a bit harsh. Although many of what he said were true, he still behaved dissolutely after getting married?
Chu Yian wanted to say something fair. Qin Sheng had not gone out to look for his adulterers in the past two days after the wedding, so he could not be scolded like that for the time being.
But then again, what does the Duke mean by this?
What do you mean she was the one Qin Sheng specifically asked to marry?
Didn't they have to get married because there was no other way after the elders on both sides had agreed?
Is she the only one who thinks so? Was it Qin Sheng who had his eyes on her from the beginning?
What was he after? She had no money, no power, and her father was only a lowly censor of the sixth rank. How could she be worthy of his marriage?
This background can't help him at all.
revenge!
Qin Sheng was definitely taking revenge! Revenge for her seeing him.
Apart from this, Chu Yian really didn't know what else about her was worthy of Qin Sheng marrying her.
Qin Sheng said nothing and pretended not to hear Duke Qin's angry curses.
Seeing the nonchalant look of lying down and letting the scolding go on, Qin Xinghuai became even angrier. He pointed at him with a trembling finger and wanted to say something.
If you really say something unpleasant in public and hurt the relationship between father and son, it will be difficult to make up for it and it will easily give people a chance to talk about you.
Qin Huaishu reached out and held Duke Qin down, preventing him from continuing.
He turned his head to look at his useless and absurdly willful brother, his eyes still gentle.
After staring at Qin Sheng for a few seconds, Qin Huaishu said, "This is just the first time. It won't happen again."
The tone was very calm, as if he was narrating a very ordinary matter, but also as if he was issuing an ultimatum.
Although Qin Sheng was ridiculous, he still respected his brother very much, and there was a little fear in his bones that he himself was not aware of.
Qin Sheng's face looked visibly less nonchalant and more serious.
Although I really wanted to follow Qin Huaishu's words, he had his own thoughts.
"This is not my business." If you want to say this, you have to say it to Chu Yian.
To be honest, if he wasn't accompanying Chu Yian, he would never have come to a place like a brothel.
I hadn’t been here for over ten years before, so how could I suddenly come to my senses once I got married?
As soon as Qin Sheng finished speaking, Qin Huaishu's expression did not change, and his eyes were still calm, but the darkness in his eyes made it difficult to see what he was thinking.
He stepped over Qin Xinghuai and walked straight towards Qin Sheng until he was in front of him.
Facing Qin Huaishu's eyes which were less gentle, Qin Sheng felt helpless. He didn't mean that.
My eldest brother must have misunderstood that he had fallen in love with the brothel and would become a frequent visitor here in the future.
That is truly a huge injustice.
Sheng Hongyu stood aside and didn't dare to say anything. This was a family affair of Duke Qin's Mansion. It was really inappropriate for an outsider like him to stand here. He wanted to take Sheng Nianyao away from here as soon as possible.
But moving now would be too conspicuous.
He was afraid that the Qin family, who had not yet seen him, would turn their spearhead against him again.
And this eldest son of the Qin family...
Isn't this eldest son a scholar? The Qin family has been passed down for so many years, and there is only one such scholar. He looks gentle and refined, full of bookish air, and seems to be able to suppress Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng, this rascal, actually has someone he's afraid of?
You know, he is not even afraid of the Duke of Qin.
Qin Huaishu looked at his younger brother who had been rebellious since childhood, and knew that this man was a rebellious person from head to toe and basically would not listen to anyone except him.
Just as he opened his mouth to say something, his ears moved as if he heard a sound. Qin Huaishu paused, his eyes turned cold, and his brows frowned almost inaudibly.
Seeing his reaction, Qin Sheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He wouldn't...
Qin Sheng was really afraid that Chu Yian would be exposed, so he simply raised his foot and walked out first, but his attention was all on Qin Huaishu.
Qin Sheng said: "I really accepted someone's invitation this time. I won't come next time. Big brother, please keep an eye on Dad. Be quieter next time. If Yi An knew about it, I'm afraid he would misunderstand."
Qin Xinghuai glared at him: "You bastard, are you going to do it again?"
Qin Huaishu's brows furrowed more and more. Qin Sheng's reaction clearly showed that he knew there was someone outside the window.
This person...was he hiding there?
Qin Huaishu finally suppressed his doubts and followed Qin Sheng out. Duke Qin glared at Sheng Hongyu angrily and left.
After the Qin family's father and son had left, Sheng Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Sheng Nianyao.
The girl was obviously relieved.
She had been hiding behind a pillar for fear of being seen, and now that everyone had left, she dared to raise her head.
Sheng Hongyu called out softly toward the window: "Chu...Mrs. Qin Sanshao, they've left. You can come out now."
Chu Yian cautiously popped his head out of the window and looked around the room. He patted his chest and went back inside: "I was scared to death."
Sheng Hongyu: ...
Even though it scared you to death, you will still dare to do it next time.
Sheng Hongyu curled his lips and said, "Well, Qin Sheng and the others have left, and you are alone... I will send someone to take you back to the Duke's Mansion."
Chu Yian's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly: "Then thank you very much, sir, please try to send me back before they get home."
Sheng Hongyu choked and could only nod.
The reason why Qin Sheng dared to leave so easily was because he relied on the fact that he was still here to take care of Chu Yian, right?
If something happened to Chu Yian and he couldn't return to the Duke's Mansion smoothly, that bastard Qin Sheng would definitely cause trouble for him.
Sheng Hongyu did not dare to be careless. He took Sheng Nianyao and sent Chu Yian to the carriage before returning to Qingfeng Tower to deal with Sheng Nianyao's affairs.
Sheng Hongyu cares about Sheng Nianyao's reputation more than anyone else, and Chu Yian is not afraid that he doesn't care.
Let him help complete the system tasks, perfect
The carriage arranged by Sheng Hongyu ran very fast, but Qin Xinghuai and Qin Huaishu both went to Qingfeng Tower on horseback.
After leaving Qingfeng Tower, the old duke didn't care about Qin Sheng's face. He picked him up and made him lie on the horse's butt, then gave the horse a spur and galloped away.
Qin Sheng lay on the horse's butt and rolled his eyes. It was the first time in his life that he rode a horse in this position, and it felt very uncomfortable.
The three of them quickly returned to the Duke's Mansion.
Chu Yian hurried as fast as he could, but still couldn't get back before them.
Fortunately, it was too late, and Duke Qin didn't want to look for her at this time, nor did he really want Chu Yian to know that Qin Sheng went to a brothel right after getting married, so he didn't notice that she was not there at all.
As for Qin Sheng, Chu Yian returned to the Duke Qin's Mansion, found the place where he had climbed over the wall, and climbed over it with great effort. After returning to Fuhua Courtyard, he waited for a long time but Qin Sheng did not come back, so he had to go to bed.
It was not until early the next morning that Qin Sheng finally returned.
He just looked a bit miserable, limping back. I don't know if his leg was beaten by Duke Qin or Brother Qin.
Chu Yian felt a little guilty and asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
Qin Sheng looked over with resentful eyes: "Did you sleep well last night?"
Chu Yian nodded: "It's okay, I came back and waited for you for a while, but I went to sleep before I saw you."
Qin Sheng looked outside with a melancholy tone: "Well, as long as you have a good rest, I knelt in the ancestral hall all night last night."
Chu Yian: ...
I felt even more guilty, so I touched my nose to relieve the pain.
Qin Sheng showed a bitter smile on his face: "It doesn't matter. If you want to go again in the future, I will definitely accompany you. Isn't it just kneeling in the ancestral hall for a night and then getting beaten? It's nothing to me."
Chu Yian: ...
If you hadn't said this with such a hopeless expression, she would have believed it.
Qin Sheng: "As long as you are happy, my eldest brother and father beat me...I'm actually used to it since I was a child."
Chu Yian: ...
That's enough, stop talking.
Chu Yian felt that if he didn't die in front of Qin Sheng to atone for his sins, he would be unworthy of his sacrifice that night.
She looked at Qin Sheng's legs and scribbled a word of concern: "Um, is your leg okay?"
Qin Sheng shook his head: "It's okay, I slept on the beam in the second half of the night, my legs are fine."
Chu Yian's mouth twitched. You knelt on the beam in the ancestral hall?
Also, didn’t you sleep on the beam?
So why are you limping back here? Are you pretending to be so nice?
Seeing the speechless look in Chu Yian's eyes, Qin Sheng couldn't help laughing. He stood up and walked a few steps neatly. He looked very normal and not limping at all.
Chu Yian: ...
Qin Sheng patted his thigh: "Just a joke, it's so early in the morning, I'm afraid you'll be bored."
"Next time you want to go to Nanfeng Pavilion, just tell me. I will definitely take you there even if it means risking a beating from my father and elder brother."
Chu Yian: ...
It's hard to tell who wants to go more.
Chu Yian's eyes were hard to describe: "Then Nanfeng Pavilion... is there someone you like?"
Qin Sheng was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No."
Chu Yian: "You recommended him so strongly, I thought you were going to introduce me to your lover?"
This time it was Qin Sheng's turn to be speechless: "What kind of person can play with me? I can't introduce him to you no matter how crazy I am."
"Besides, you don't like women, so going to Qingfeng Tower won't make you happy. At most, you'll go there to feel the atmosphere."
Chu Yian: ...You are such a bastard, you don't even hesitate when you scold yourself.
However, Chu Yian's attention quickly shifted to another sentence, and he was a little bit incredulous: "You, you are going to send me to someone else's bed?"
Xiao Fu had just come in from outside when she heard Chu Yian's outrageous words. She was so shocked that she stood still and couldn't move. She looked at the two figures standing opposite each other in the room in shock and couldn't recover for a long time.
His mind was full of thoughts about Qin Sheng sending his young lady to someone else's bed?!
Whose bed?
What are you sending in exchange?
For some reason, Xiao Fu automatically recalled the plots in those storybooks.
A group of incompetent men send their wives to other men's beds just to advance their careers.
After this man became successful, he began to dislike his wife for being unclean and having been defiled by other men, and he was filled with resentment.
He either divorces his wife or ignores her.
Qin Sheng...
Could it be that he is this kind of person?
Xiao Fu felt sympathetic, as she felt that her young lady's future was bleak.
She praised Qin Sheng so much, thinking that Qin Sheng was actually a good person apart from his special interests and hobbies.
In the end, he actually sent his wife to another man's bed? Is he still a man?
Qin Sheng had no idea what Xiao Fu was thinking, so he twitched his lips speechlessly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Qin Sheng closed the door, locked Xiao Fu outside, and asked Chu Yian: "Do you have a man you like? Didn't we agree before we got married? If you have a man you like, I will catch him for you."
Chu Yian: ...
The execution doesn't have to be so strong. They have only been married for a few days.
Chu Yian coughed: "Not yet."
By the way, didn’t Qin Sheng’s unknown adulterer want to send her a handsome man?
She had been married to the Duke's Mansion for two days, so why hadn't he sent it yet? How could he send it to her? Chu Yian was a little curious.
As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, I saw a dark shadow suddenly float in from the window.
The dark shadow stood sideways in a place where there was no light, and said something in Qin Sheng's ear in a low voice.
Qin Sheng raised his eyebrows, a playful smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said something to him. Then the black shadow left.
Looking at the inexplicable smile on Qin Sheng's face, Chu Yian was confused: "What's wrong? Why are you smiling so obscenely?"
Qin Sheng: ...
Qin Sheng touched the corner of his mouth: "Is it very obscene?"
Chu Yian nodded: "A little bit."
Qin Sheng stopped laughing and opened the door again: "You'll know later. Let's go and have breakfast."
After saying that, he left first.
Chu Yian followed behind him.
After marrying into the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Tao did not take the initiative to ask her to visit him morning and evening, and Chu Yian did not want to get up so early.
But after all, I'm married now, and it doesn't seem right to get up so late.
After thinking for a while, Chu Yian quickly walked to Qin Sheng and asked him in a low voice: "Should I get up earlier in the future?"
Qin Sheng thought for a few seconds: "You came back so late yesterday, how could you get up so early?"
Chu Yian: ...
Qin Sheng: "The weather is fine now. When it gets cold, Mother won't be able to get up. You don't have to visit her every morning and evening. It will make both of you rest poorly."
Chu Yian: ...
The smile on the corners of her mouth spread infinitely. It turned out that she made the right choice to marry into the Duke's Mansion.
Qin Sheng glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, chuckled, and the two of them soon arrived at the main courtyard.
By then, all the members of the Qin family had arrived. When Duke Qin saw the two of them coming, his face turned unhappy and he looked at Qin Sheng gloomily.
On the contrary, Qin Huaishu looked at Chu Yian with a subtle inquiry in his eyes.
Chu Yian was slightly stunned when he inadvertently met his gaze. Why did he feel that his elder brother seemed to know something?
Chu Yian gently tugged at Qin Sheng's sleeve. Qin Sheng turned his head to look at her, followed her line of sight to look at Qin Huaishu, then stepped forward to block Chu Yian behind him, and gave his elder brother a look that said, "Don't look at me if she's not your wife."
Qin Huaishu withdrew his gaze.
Duke Qin snorted coldly after seeing all the little movements of Chu Yian and Qin Sheng.
He said that Yi An was a good child, and that bastard Qin Sheng carried her to a brothel on his back. How could a human being do such a thing?
However, Duke Qin didn't want to mention this matter, nor did he want Chu Yian to know.
After rolling his eyes at Qin Sheng, he looked at Chu Yian with a gentle look and said in a softer voice: "Yian is here, come and sit down."
Mrs. Tao was also very dissatisfied with her youngest son, and she obviously knew what happened yesterday.
He had already felt that Chu Yian was wronged by marrying Qin Sheng, and now he felt even more sorry for his only daughter-in-law.
He quickly stood up and pulled Chu Yian to sit beside him, and took the opportunity to return the bracelet in his hand, which was of excellent quality and full of water, to Chu Yian.
Chu Yian quickly shook his head and was about to return the bracelet: "Mother, this is not allowed."
Although I don’t know how much this bracelet is worth, it is definitely not cheap.
Mrs. Tao smiled and held Chu Yian down: "My child, your mother is very happy to see you. You don't have anything valuable with you, only the bracelet is good to look at. It is a gift from the elders, and you cannot refuse it."
Chu Yian then accepted the bracelet and looked at Qin Sheng with a smile in his eyes.
Qin Sheng felt helpless and amused. He accompanied Chu Yian to a brothel, and she got all the benefits while he took all the punishments.
