Chapter 31 Confrontation with Zhao Bin
Chapter 31
"I don't know what her father is like, but this girl is quite loyal and not a bad person."
What a bunch of idiots! Zhao Bin sneered in his heart.
Lu Songli and Zhao Bin were confronting each other. She looked calm and composed. Even when she heard people around her commenting about her father, her expression remained unchanged, as if they were not talking about her biological father.
Qin Sheng tightened his grip on the horsewhip and looked at Lu Songli with a strange look. This woman was so bold and reckless. Who knew what she relied on? She provoked Zhao Bin like this. Wasn't she afraid that Zhao Bin would whip her in anger?
At this time, Qin Heng strolled over and broke the standoff between the two. "Zhao Bin, aren't you on urgent business? Can you not delay any longer?"
Zhao Bin heard this and gave Lu Songli a final, deep look before saying to Qin Heng, "Forget it. For your sake, I won't bother with you this time."
He finally looked at Qin Sheng and said, "Let go!"
Qin Sheng raised his chin towards Lu Songli, who understood immediately and pulled her mother away from Zhao Bin quickly. Qin Sheng only let go of the whip when he thought the distance was far enough.
After taking back the whip, Zhao Bin snorted coldly, then glanced gloomily at Lu Songli, Qin Sheng, and Qin Heng, and finally jumped on the horse and left.
After Zhao Bin left, the crowd dispersed. The man came over with his child to thank the Qin brothers again. Qin Sheng comforted him and let him leave with the child.
Qin Heng walked towards Jiang and Lu Songli, mother and daughter, and gestured to Qin Sheng to follow him.
Qin Heng walked over with a smile on his face, and the first thing he said to Jiang was to praise Lu Songli, "Aunt Lu, Second Miss Lu, thank you so much for speaking up just now, otherwise Ah Sheng might be in trouble."
"No, no, you two brothers are also trying to save people. It's only right for my daughter to say a few words on her behalf." After saying this, Jiang's eyes fell on Qin Sheng. "I saw it all just now. This kid is really good at fighting."
Lu Songli looked at her mother helplessly.
Qin Heng's smile deepened, and he invited them to go up to the second floor of Sanweixuan.
Seeing that her mother was about to agree, Lu Songli quickly called out, "Mom, we've been out for a long time. Shouldn't we go back? Dad is waiting anxiously at home."
Afraid that she was still not awake, when she looked at her, she used her eyes to hint wildly, "My dear mother, this is not the first time you are a mother-in-law, why do you have to be unable to walk when you see something good?"
I know you're very satisfied with Qin Sheng, but the Qin family is really not a good place to be. The entire Qin family was uprooted, some were detained, some were exiled. With such charges, our father's small body can't handle such a big thing.
But as the ultimate winners, the Qin family, despite their tragic victory, should be avoided if possible. So, she leaned close to her mother's ear and deliberately lowered her voice, saying, "Mother, don't forget that the Lu, Xie, and Zhao families are still in turmoil. We absolutely cannot make any mistakes here and be caught."
The last time the Qin brothers came to visit, she knew that their five senses were sharp, and she believed that they would be able to hear her clearly this time.
Lu Songli's reminder was very useful. Jiang hesitated for a moment and said, "It's really getting late, nephew, we have to go back."
Qin Heng's smile remained unchanged, as if he hadn't noticed the quarrel between the mother and daughter. "That's fine. When Aunt is free someday, we'll host a party and invite Uncle and Aunt over for tea. Or maybe when I get married sometime, I'll invite Aunt over for a drink."
Jiang paused slightly and asked him in surprise, "Are you going to marry a second wife?"
"Yes. Aunt is welcome to attend the ceremony."
Lu Songli exclaimed in her heart, is there such a passage in the original book?
"Then congratulations. Our Lu family is waiting for your wedding invitation." Jiang thought to herself, if she can go, she will go. If she can't go, she will give him a gift as well.
The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries and then parted.
In the carriage, Jiang frequently glanced at her daughter. Lu Songli noticed this and looked at her mother in confusion, "Mother, do you have something to say to me?"
"Just now, the Qin family's heir said he wanted to marry a second wife. Don't you have any thoughts after hearing that?"
Qin Heng? No, that's what her mother was asking. What could she possibly think of him taking a second wife? Lu Songli was momentarily lost for words, and when she finally came to her senses, she felt a bit amused and helpless. Could her mother still remember her joke from a while ago? A few days ago, the Qin brothers came to visit after she fell into the water. Her parents had a good impression of the Qin family and were thinking about asking her to consider Qin Sheng after breaking off the engagement with the Xie family. At the time, she'd casually suggested that marrying Qin Heng was a better option than Qin Sheng. She'd said that joke and then forgotten it. Could her mother still be thinking about it and worrying about it?
Lu Songli immediately comforted her mother and finally stopped her wild thoughts.
Zhao Mansion
Zhao Bin rushed back home.
Arriving at the gate, he dismounted and knocked on it. After the gatekeeper opened it, Zhao Bin threw the reins to him and quickly headed towards the inner courtyard.
The Zhao family has encountered too many bad things recently. The atmosphere in the mansion has been very depressing, and the servants are all trembling with fear. When Zhao Bin passed by, they hurriedly bowed their heads and greeted him.
The first thing Zhao Bin did when he returned was to visit his sister. He was still in his military uniform and didn't have time to change out. "Big sister!"
"Silang!" Zhao Yutan was very surprised to see his heroic brother come back. His beautiful face, which had just been filled with sadness, showed a long-lost smile. "Why are you back?"
"Such a big thing happened, how could I not come back!" Zhao Bin walked straight to the bedside and held down his sister who was about to get up. "Sister, how could you be so depressed? And make yourself so haggard?"
At this time, Zhao Yutan looked haggard, everything was going wrong, he was tortured to the point of exhaustion, and coupled with excessive blood loss, his complexion naturally looked bad.
At this time, Zhao Yutan took his hand, and Zhao Bin sat down beside him.
"Fourth Young Master, you don't know that the young lady has been suffering a lot recently." Zhao Yutan's personal maid Hongdou held the medicine bowl and cried about the grievances on behalf of her master.
The more Zhao Bin listened, the gloomier his expression grew. "Are you talking about Lu Songli? The girl who always followed you around?"
Listening to the maid Hongdou's narration, Zhao Yutan also felt that he was very aggrieved. When he heard his brother's question, he nodded lightly.
Zhao Bin snorted coldly, "He is indeed a sharp-tongued person."
His words made Zhao Yutan realize that they seemed to have met before. "Have you seen her?"
"Well. Don't worry about it. I'll help you solve it." As he said that, he stood up.
"No, Shiro, what are you planning to do? Don't put yourself in danger!"
"Don't worry, I have my own way and I won't be implicated."
"Hongdou, get out."
Zhao Yutan waited for Hongdou to go out and close the door, then she pulled him aside and whispered a few words to him.
Zhao Bin nodded after hearing this. "Okay, I won't touch her in the next few days, but she bullied you so much before, we can't just let it go. Big sister, I'm going to go back and wash up first, and I'll come see you later."
Watching him retreat, Zhao Yutan felt uneasy despite his assurances. But then she felt she was overthinking it. After all, her son Silang was a cavalry captain in the Fifth Army Battalion. Lu Songli was just a weak woman, and if the two of them were to clash, it certainly wouldn't be her son Silang who would suffer. But the Lu family was too treacherous. Ever since she decided to plot against Lu Songli, nothing had gone smoothly. She sometimes wondered if she was trying to defy fate and bring this upon herself.
"Miss, don't worry. The fourth young master will definitely help you vent your anger this time!" Hongdou said with her hands on her hips when she came back.
