Chapter 3 I didn't take advantage of you

Qin Chi sat up slowly and checked his clothes leisurely, as if he was checking whether he had lost his virginity.

Song Jin's cheeks suddenly felt hot.

To be honest, she, who had lived a second life, only regarded him as a junior and had never had that kind of thought in her mind.

But if he does this...

"I didn't take advantage of you!" Song Jin blurted out.

Qin Chi glanced at her coldly. Although he didn't say anything, Song Jin could see his disbelief.

Song Jin suddenly remembered something and asked guiltily, "You, you woke up a long time ago?"

Qin Chi said in a slightly cold tone, "It's not too late. I just heard that you two sisters have turned against each other because of a marriage. This drama is very interesting."

In his previous life, Song Jin had only met Qin Chi a few times and they had no private contact. His understanding of him was very superficial, and most of what he knew was hearsay after his death.

Some people said that he was good at painting, and that he was a man of good character and knowledge, and that he was a talent that was envied by heaven. Others said that he was two-faced, cruel, and a fraud, but everyone who heard it thought that this was an immoral smear and was condemned by everyone.

Throwing dirty water on someone even after he's dead, how dark is this person's heart?

However, after just this brief time together, Song Jin knew that Qin Chi was not someone to be trifled with.

"Where are you sisters from? It seems like you are sure you can marry into the Qin family."

Qin Chi sat on the couch with a natural look.

Song Jin thought of her father's plans for her sisters and couldn't help but tears up in her eyes. After thinking for a while, she told the story of the marriage between the Song and Qin families.

"You are so generous. Your concubine's sister caused you to lose your innocent reputation and a good marriage, and you gave it to her so generously?"

Qin Chi stared at Song Jin steadily, his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

Song Jin pursed his lips slightly, "Whether the marriage is good or bad, you can only know after you get married. How does the saying go? Only when you drink the water can you know whether it is hot or cold."

Qin Chi looked at her with a mixture of light and dark. Song Jin was actually different from ordinary women.

An ordinary woman spends her whole life just to marry a good husband, but this is not her ambition.

"You said this because you probably haven't met my uncle. If you had, you would have regretted it. He is gentle and handsome. If nothing unexpected happens, he will have no problem passing the imperial examination and becoming an official.

As for me, I am plagued by illness and I am afraid that my life will be short. I will have trouble even staying alive, let alone fame and fortune."

"The length of life is not what matters. Although you are sick, you are a very smart person."

Song Jin blurted out without thinking too much.

Qin Chi looked at her curiously. Song Jin was just a girl in the boudoir, but she could say such words. "In this case, our marriage is settled."

Hearing this, Song Jin felt relieved.

As long as the marriage is settled, other things can be planned slowly.

“Knock knock.”

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

It rang twice and then stopped. A little girl's clear voice came from outside, "Brother, Grandpa wants you to go to the main hall to talk."

"knew."

Qin Chi responded and looked at Song Jin again.

Song Jin nodded slightly.

She straightened her clothes and hair, and followed Qin Chi out of the room. Standing outside was a pretty girl. When she saw Song Jin, she ran away with a smile.

The little girl's name is Qin Daya. She is the daughter of the second branch of the Qin family and also the eldest granddaughter of the Qin family.

After a while.

The two of them went to the main room.

Old man Qin stood in the room with a gloomy face, and behind him stood the guilty old Liu and Song Xiu.

As soon as Old Man Qin saw Qin Chi coming into the room, he raised his hand and was about to hit him: "You bastard! Who gave you the courage..."

"Uncle Qin!"

Song Jin stepped forward and raised his hand to stop him, explaining for Qin Chi, "I don't know how much you know about this matter, but Qin Chi is not at all wrong. Now that things have come to this, it is better to let nature take its course and everyone will be happy."

The mastermind behind this incident is Song Xiu, and it has nothing to do with Qin Chi.

Qin Chi raised his eyes to look at the young lady standing in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

In our family, my grandfather always has the final say and he cannot escape the marriage he has promised.

Compared to marrying Song Xiu who plotted against her own sister, Qin Chi preferred Song Jin. However, he felt that his uncle and Song Xiu were a good match.

They are nothing!

Many years later, when Qin Chi recalled the time when he first met his beloved wife, he repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Song Xiu for being such a good-for-nothing.

Without Song Xiu, he and his wife would have missed each other! Old Man Qin felt ashamed: "It is the Qin family that has let you down."

Song Jin tried to comfort him: "Uncle, you don't have to be like this. Marriage is destined by heaven. This may be the so-called fate."

Everyone present was clear about the situation, but they tacitly agreed not to break the fig leaf.

Song Xiu was delighted. As long as her sister didn't make a fuss, the marriage exchange would be settled.

Qin Chi spoke at the right time: "Grandfather, if you really feel guilty and want to make amends, you can allow her to be independent."

Hearing this, Song Jin looked at Qin Chi in surprise.

This person... has a lot of little thoughts.

He is probably the one who wants his own independent family, right?

However, this matter was also beneficial to her, so she did not expose it.

In the previous life, the Qin family lived together. There were no big things, but a lot of trivial matters.

Song Jin was happy to see it come to fruition.

After he said this, Old Man Qin had no choice but to agree, otherwise it would be considered hypocritical and pretentious to fool people.

After a long silence, Old Man Qin said, "It's no problem for a small family to be independent."

"Old man, we haven't separated yet. How can she be independent in her own family? This is against the rules."

Old Liu was unwilling to accept this. Song Xiu had said before that when Song Jin and Qin Chi got married, the two sisters would be daughters-in-law of the Qin family, and the dowries they brought could be returned to the public. And if they were returned to the public, wouldn't it be in her hands?

But now that Old Man Qin has allowed Song Jin to have her own family, why would she want Song Jin's dowry?

"Just shut up! You did something stupid, who are you to interfere?"

In fact, Old Man Qin had already asked clearly before. Old Liu and Song Xiu came to him in a hurry and said that Song Jin and Qin Chi had done something shameful.

Old Qin was not easy to fool, so he questioned Old Liu immediately.

Old Liu was most afraid of Old Man Qin, and she confessed everything after just a few words.

This is why Old Man Qin apologized to Song Jin.

Old Mrs. Liu knew she was in the wrong and was speechless for a moment.

"In that case, thank you very much, uncle. I still have one more thing I would like to ask you to do for me." Song Jin bowed slightly.

Old Man Qin ordered everyone else to go out.

"Grandma, you got what you wanted, so why are you still not happy?" After leaving the house, Qin Chi deliberately approached Old Liu and mentioned what had just happened.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Old Liu glanced at him and said, "You are so weak, go back and rest quickly."

As she spoke, she pulled Song Xiu aside.

Qin Chi looked at the two men's backs thoughtfully.

"Song Xiu, if you want to be my good daughter-in-law, go and get the dowry!"

Old Mrs. Liu reminded Song Xiu in a very low voice.

Song Xiu was in a difficult situation. She didn't expect that Old Man Qin would agree to let Song Jin live independently.

She had already torn her face with Song Jin once for the marriage exchange. How could Song Jin agree to it if she asked for a dowry again? "Aunt, we just did that. Isn't it too..."

Old Liu didn't care about that and said firmly, "Half of the dowry is yours. It's reasonable for you to take it. If you don't go, I will let my son marry someone else. There are many good girls!"

Song Xiu was anxious and quickly responded, "I'll do it as soon as possible!"

Only then was Mrs. Liu satisfied.

While Song Jin and Old Man Qin were talking in the hall, Song Xiu sneaked into the previous room, which was originally Qin Chi's room. When she came out, she was carrying her bag and a box in her arms...

On the other side, Song Jin talked with Old Man Qin for about a quarter of an hour before returning to the house. She asked Old Man Qin to help her with two things, one was about the marriage certificate, and the other was to send a letter.

Old Man Qin went out immediately and came back in less than two hours, handing Song Jin a marriage certificate.

The names of Qin Chi and Song Jin are on it, but the date is not today's. It was deliberately moved five days ago.

Five days ago, Song Jin's father had not yet been convicted.

The key is that the marriage certificate has the seal of the local government. In this way, the identity of the out-married woman is clear.

The marriage certificate was made in secret, and no one else knew about it except the person who handled it.

It is still necessary to hide one's background from the outside world. Song Jin does not want the people who framed the Song family behind the scenes to find Qinjiagou so quickly.

There was no such thing as a marriage certificate in the previous life.

Country people marry simply and have their own set of rules. Few people spend money to go to the government office to get a marriage contract. As the saying goes, the government office faces south, so if you have a reason but no money, don't come in.

The people were in awe of the government and would not go to the government unless it was absolutely necessary. To get married or have a child, they only needed to report to the village chief.

By the time Song Jin realized the importance of the marriage certificate, it was too late.

At that time, Qin Mingsong had passed the imperial examination and was the hope of the entire Qin family to change their status. Officials in Daxia must have a clean family background. How could Qin Mingsong admit Song Jin's identity, let alone put down a handle in black and white.

The days can only be lived in a muddle.

After a long time, Song Jin's eyes became more and more determined. He would never live in confusion again in this life.

Just when she was about to put the marriage certificate into the Lu Ban box, she suddenly discovered that the box was missing!

"I saw your concubine sister come in, and when she left, she was carrying a bundle in her hand. Why don't you go and ask her?"

Song Jin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Qin Chi suddenly pushed the door open and reminded her.

It turned out that Qin Chi had not gone far earlier and had been staring at Song Xiu.

Song Jin's eyes flashed with surprise. Qin Chi actually helped her. And what did he call her just now? Song Jin was anxious to find the Luban box. She didn't have time to think about it and hurried out. She went straight to Qin Mingsong's house and knocked on the door.

Song Xiu is determined to marry Qin Mingsong, so she will definitely be eager to move into Qin Mingsong's house.

Sure enough, the person who opened the door was Song Xiu.

Song Xiu pretended to be confused: "Sister, are you looking for me?"

“Bang!”

Song Jin slapped her directly and said coldly: "Give my things back."

At that moment, Song Xiu dared not say a word, and said aggrievedly, "Sister, I also have a share of the dowry given by father."

Song Jin snorted coldly, "Are you only taking one part of the dowry?"

Song Xiu bit her lower lip tightly. "Sister, you are marrying a sickly man. No one will ask you to have a dowry. It's different for me. Qin Mingsong is a scholar and will become a high-ranking official in the future. If my dowry is too little, I will be laughed at!"

She didn't intend to take it all, but when she thought of the silver she had in her previous life, she couldn't resist the greed in her heart. Unfortunately, the Luban box was not easy to open. After groping for so long to open a lock, Song Jin came! "You don't want to, right? Then let Uncle Qin decide!" Song Jin's voice rose a little.

Song Xiu panicked, "No, no, no, I'll get it right away."

After all, the Qin family is headed by Old Man Qin, and after what just happened, Old Man Qin will definitely side with Song Jin.

Song Xiu returned to the house and took out the Lu Ban box.

Song Jin snatched it and opened it, leaving half of the silver and banknotes. The money was prepared by Song's father, who said that each sister would get half. The jewelry was a relic of Song Jin's mother, so there was no need to divide it.

After closing the Luban box, Song Jin said coldly, "Song Xiu, you have already got what you wanted, so just live a peaceful life from now on. I won't take advantage of you, but I won't allow you to take even a little bit of what belongs to me."

After saying that, Song Jin left without looking back.

Song Xiu looked at Song Jin's back and had a bad feeling in her heart. Was this marriage the right choice or a wrong one?

Not long after Song Jin turned around and walked away, she saw Qin Chi, who was wearing a long gown and standing under the eaves looking at her.

I just looked at him and nodded as a thank you.
