Chapter 395: Concession

In the Qin Mansion, the atmosphere in the study was extremely heavy.

After Qin Shu heard about this, she called everyone over.

Qin Qixuan frowned, playing with a jade pendant in his hand, his eyes revealing deep worry.

Qin Xixi, Wen Yanya, and several young people from the Qin family sat around, each of them with a heavy and uneasy look on their faces.

Helian Shi's face was equally solemn. He knew that this sudden rumor was undoubtedly a huge crisis for the Qin family.

"Where did this rumor come from? It was so malicious to slander Qixuan." Helian Shi's voice was filled with anger and helplessness that was difficult to conceal.

"This must be Zhao Shuo'er's doing." Qin Shu sighed. She knew Zhao Shuo'er's obsession with Qin Qixuan.

"But we have no evidence." Qin Qixuan sighed. He knew very well that in the capital, a place of power and intrigue, it was difficult to explain things without evidence. His heart was full of worries. He knew that once the rumor spread, not only would his reputation be damaged, but also the reputation of the Qin family would be implicated.

However, in this heavy atmosphere, Qin Xixi seemed unusually calm. She sat aside, listening to everyone's discussion silently, without any expression on her face.

[Zhao Shuo'er should not hurt his eldest brother. 】

She thought secretly in her heart, without noticing that the study room suddenly became silent. Everyone who could hear Xixi's inner voice looked at Qin Xixi in surprise, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

Zhao Shuo'er even gave up her own reputation in order to marry Qin Qixuan. How could she not hurt Qin Qixuan?

But little Xixi had her own ideas.

[Although Zhao Shuo'er wanted to marry her brother, her love for him was sincere. The reason she spread such rumors was only because she wanted her brother to take the initiative to ask her to marry him. She would not really hurt her brother. ] The

Qin family members were silent for a while, and then they started discussing again.

After all, Zhao Shuo'er might not hurt Qin Qixuan, but he would hurt the relationship between Wen Yanya and Qin Qixuan. Xiao Xixi is still young and doesn't understand these things...

Wen Yanya has not said a word from beginning to end, but she doesn't know that she is also struggling in her heart.

To be honest, Wen Yanya is not willing to share her husband with others.

Although Wen Yanya's wish seems a little impossible in this era where men are respected, Qin Qixuan once promised her that they would be together for the rest of their lives...

But now it seems that the best way to solve the problem is to marry Zhao Shuo'er into the family.

Wen Yanya gritted her teeth and finally said it helplessly.

"I have no objection to marrying Zhao Shuo'er into the family."

Wen Yanya knew clearly that this matter was related to the reputation of the Qin family. Not only would Qin Qixuan be affected, but Zhao Shuo'er's reputation would also be ruined.

After she finished speaking, the Qin family fell into a brief silence, and then Qin Qixuan hurriedly wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wen Yanya.

"When I was trapped in the Jinnan Palace, I was also taken care of by Zhao Shuo'er many times. Although she is arrogant, she has a good heart."

Qin Qixuan looked at Wen Yanya distressed, knowing that she was forcing.

"Yanya, I will not agree. You are the only one I want to marry from the beginning to the end."

Wen Yanya shook her head tiredly.

Qin Qixuan's thoughts were too idealistic.

Wen Yanya realized how important a woman's reputation was in this era.

Therefore, she didn't want Zhao Shuo'er to lose her reputation because of this.

"Our previous affairs... let's just regard it as the uncontrollable emotions of an engaged couple." There were rumors that

Qin Qixuan and Zhao Shuo'er were together. After all, Zhao Shuo'er was a princess and a woman, so the rumors were obviously more harmful to Zhao Shuo'er. But the emperor was naturally paying close attention to Qin Qixuan's attitude. Zhao Shuo'er was

very favored by the emperor. If Qin Qixuan showed his unwillingness, it was unknown what would happen.

From the rumor, many people already know the rumor. In their view, Qin Qixuan slept with Zhao Shuoer and did not want to take responsibility.

Although the fact itself is not like this, no one cares about the fact. Everyone only wants to know what they want to see, and no one wants the truth.

Moreover... Qin Qixuan and Wen Yanya had a relationship in Zhao Shuoer's yard...

Qin Qixuan did not think so much, but he was very sad in his heart. He did not like Zhao Shuoer at all.

Qin Qixuan's brows wrinkled even tighter, he held Wen Yanya's hand tightly, his eyes full of determination.

"Yan Ya, I can't let you suffer any injustice. I will never marry Zhao Shuo'er, I..."

"Qixuan." Wen Yan Ya interrupted Qin Qixuan. She shook her head gently, with a trace of bitterness in her eyes. "I understand your intentions, but this matter concerns the reputation of the Qin and Zhao families. We can't just consider ourselves."

Qin Shu sighed aside. She looked at Qin Qixuan and Wen Yan Ya, and her heart was also mixed. She knew Zhao Shu's obsession with Qin Qixuan, and she also knew that if this matter was not handled properly, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Yan Ya is right." Qin Shu said, "We have to take a long-term view and not act on impulse."

Qin Qixuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qin Shu.

Qin Qixuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

The study fell silent again, and everyone was thinking about countermeasures.

Although Qin Shu had advised Qin Qixuan before, she was not relieved in her heart.

This matter was a dead end. If Qin Qixuan did not marry Zhao Shuoer, he would offend Zhao Shuoer and the Jinnan Palace. But if Qin Qixuan married Zhao Shuoer, Wen Yanya would be wronged, and the Qin family would be sorry for the Wen family.

Qin Shu was also very distressed.

Qin Xixi sat aside, looking at their sad faces, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Wen Yanya was really generous.

Wen Yanya clearly cared about whether Qin Qixuan married Zhao Shuoer or not, and even didn't want Qin Qixuan to marry her, but she still took the initiative to bring up the matter.

She pretended to be indifferent, just to reduce Qin Qixuan's guilt and get the most perfect solution for this matter.

But Wen Yanya forgot that in this process, no one was hurt, but only Wen Yanya herself was very uncomfortable and heartbroken.

Little Xixi admired Wen Yanya very much, and she didn't want Sister Wen to get hurt, and it was Zhao Shuo'er who got involved.

Xixi knew that if this matter was to be properly resolved, the best breakthrough was still Zhao Shuo'er.
