Chapter 462 Marriage
Qin Shu sat alone at the carved sandalwood table, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She sighed softly, as if to expel all the worries in her heart with this breath.
The Wen family has always been a husband who is responsible for the outside world and a wife who is responsible for the inside world. But recently, Qin Shu heard that Mrs. Wen was not feeling well and could not meet guests for the time being. Therefore, all the foreign affairs of the Wen family fell on the shoulders of Lord Wen. If they went to discuss the marriage, they must communicate with Lord Wen, Wen Qinyi.
On the other hand, in the Qin family, apart from Qin Shu, a woman, there was no other suitable candidate in the family who could come forward. If the second child in the family wanted to discuss marriage, perhaps Qin Qixuan could accompany him and assist him with his stability and wisdom.
But now it happened that Qin Qixuan himself wanted to discuss marriage, which made Qin Shu feel very difficult, and it seemed inappropriate for other family members to accompany him.
Qin Shu thought about it again and again, and finally decided to put her hopes on Helian Shi.
He is upright, smooth, and has status, and will not let the other party feel that he is despised.
Qin Shu plans to invite him to accompany her to meet Lord Wen, and avoid some unnecessary gossip.
After all, the Wen family and the Qin family will be relatives in the future. However
, all this is just Qin Shu's inner plan, and she has not revealed anything to the children at home.
She knows very well that the children have expectations for the relationship between herself and Helian Shi, but Qin Shu is worried that they are too excited and will ruin the big thing.
Whenever Qin Shu thinks of the children who are so keen on matching herself and Helian Shi, she always feels a little bit amused and helpless in her heart.
The next morning, Qin Shu got up early, dressed up carefully, and drove to Helian Mansion.
When Qin Shu explained her purpose to Helian Shi, a glimmer of joy flashed in Helian Shi's eyes.
He naturally agreed to Qin Shu's request without hesitation.
In his opinion, the fact that Qin Shu could think of him at this moment showed that she already regarded him as someone she could trust and rely on. This feeling of being valued and trusted filled Helian Shi's heart with joy.
Since the plan was set, the two did not delay any longer and went to the Wen family together.
Qin Shu had originally prepared a generous gift and planned to give it to the Wen couple during the visit.
However, Helian Shi insisted on bringing some more gifts from his own house to show his sincerity.
Seeing Helian Shi being so thoughtful and considerate, Qin Shu felt more and more guilty. She understood that Helian Shi not only had to help meet Qin Qixuan's possible future father-in-law, but also had to put on the gifts himself. This affection made her feel warm and sorry.
Despite the mixed feelings in her heart, Qin Shu still silently accepted Helian Shi's kindness.
When Qin Shu and Helian Shi arrived at the residence of the Wen couple, they unexpectedly found that Lord Wen was already waiting for their arrival in the other courtyard.
Wen Qinyi stood in the courtyard, with his hands behind his back, looking deeply into the distance.
When he saw Qin Shu, although Wen Qinyi's expression was not very good, he still maintained some respect.
He nodded slightly, as a greeting. Qin Shu was quick to notice the subtle change in Wen Qinyi's attitude, and her heart sank. She sighed. It seemed that the Wen family was still dissatisfied with Qixuan.
After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, Wen Qinyi got straight to the point. He said in a serious tone.
"Let's talk openly. I know that the head of the Qin family came here to discuss the marriage between my daughter and Qixuan. We came all the way to the capital for this matter."
Qin Shu nodded in agreement. She explained.
"Qixuan heard that you two had entered the capital, so he urged me to come and discuss the marriage without delay. He attaches great importance to this matter and hopes to marry your daughter as soon as possible."
Wen Qinyi frowned after hearing this, and said after thinking for a moment.
"Since the Qin family master is so sincere, we might as well speak frankly. We have no objection to Qixuan's character and talent, but..."
Wen Qinyi chuckled twice, turned his gaze to Helian Shi, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He spoke slowly, his voice gentle and sincere.
"The Qin family master is thoughtful. I am now in such a situation, and I can still get to know General Helian. It is really an honor." As he said, he took a sip of tea, and his face gradually softened.
"It is true that our Wen family is not as good as before, but the head of the Qin family still remembers to fulfill the previous marriage contract. This honesty and tolerance make me deeply admire him." Wen Qinyi continued to praise, but then changed the subject, "It's just that marriage is related to my daughter's lifelong happiness after all, so I have to consider it carefully."
Qin Shu smiled, but she was a little uneasy in her heart.
She knew that the Wen family doted on their daughter, so she was worried that this marriage would fall through because of the Wen family's concerns.
However, thinking that she had come here and Wen Qinyi did not directly refuse, she rekindled a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Wen Qinyi seemed to see Qin Shu's worries, he sighed and continued.
"Although Yan Ya always reported good news but not bad news and never told the family in detail about what happened in the capital, as a father, I cannot marry her off easily. Therefore, I am ashamed to tell you that I arranged a maid to be by Yan Ya's side to observe how the future aunt treats my daughter."
Wen Qinyi's expression gradually became serious, and the gentleness just now disappeared.
Qin Shu saw it and her heart skipped a beat, realizing that the next conversation might be quite tricky.
She understood that this Lord Wen knew everything about Wen Yanya, whether it was the shock of Wen Yanya being taken to Jinnan Palace years ago, or the affair between Wen Yanya and Qin Qixuan, or even Zhao Shuoer's love for Qin Qixuan.
Qin Shu felt a little headache. These things were complicated and difficult to solve, and now they were laid out one by one by Wen Qinyi, which made them even more difficult. But on second thought, she also felt that Wen Qinyi should know these.
After all, although Qin Qixuan had no choice in some things, Wen Yanya, as a woman, might have resentment in these events.
Sure enough, Wen Qinyi's next sentence was a question.
"I don't know what happened, but I heard that when my daughter first came to the capital, the Qin family didn't support her, but let her wander outside and was kidnapped by thieves. In the thieves' house, she was not only frightened, but also lost her innocence. In addition, the maid also said that Qixuan was entangled with another woman. Although I am stupid, after careful thinking, I also feel that Qixuan's character should not be like this... I wonder if the head of the Qin family can help me solve these doubts?"
Qin Shu took a deep breath, knowing that now was the best time to explain and clarify. She had to be honest and tell the truth one by one, hoping to dispel Wen Qinyi's concerns and allow this marriage to proceed smoothly.
