Chapter 463 Confession
Last night, when Wen Qinyi heard the maid's report, his anger erupted like a volcano, and he felt that the Qin family was not worthy of trust at all.
At that moment, he even wanted to take Wen Yanya home immediately to break off this "high-ranking" marriage.
But as time went by, he gradually calmed down and began to reflect deeply.
The character of the Qin family and Qin Qixuan did not seem to match the rumors.
Therefore, he decided to suppress his anger for the time being, and make a decision based on the actual situation after meeting Qin Shu the next day.
When he saw Qin Shu and Helian Shi coming together, Wen Qinyi's doubts were slightly alleviated. He was originally worried that Qin Shu would adopt some strategy to force them to take the initiative to propose a breakup, but now it seems that Qin Shu really wants to marry into the Wen family.
Qin Shu took a deep breath and said to Wen Qinyi with an apologetic look.
"These things did happen, and the Qin family will not deny it, but the truth is not what Lord Wen thinks." Under Wen Qinyi's suspicious eyes, Qin Shu began to tell the story in detail.
She started with the plague incident in the palace, and talked about how Qin Qixuan resolutely rejected Zhao Shuoer's proposal. Finally, she also talked about the turmoil caused by Zhao Zemo and how the Qin family was forced to get involved.
Qin Shu's narration was calm and detailed, and her tone was full of sincerity and apology.
Wen Qinyi listened to her story, her expression changed from serious at first, to shock, and then to fear.
Qin Shu spoke slowly and it took a long time for her to explain the whole story. Her words revealed deep sincerity and frankness, as if she was opening the heart of the Qin family to Wen Qinyi.
"Sir Wen, I shouldn't have told you these things, but since the Qin family intends to marry the Wen family, we will share the same fate from now on. I explained it to you today and I also want to ask for your opinion." Qin Shu's tone became serious and earnest, "Our Qin family will definitely be in turmoil in the future, or even worse, we may fall into an irretrievable situation. If you don't want Yan Ya to wade into this troubled water, I have no objection at all. Yan Ya is a good child, she deserves to live a peaceful and stable life."
Qin Shu's eyes were firm and sincere. She understood that this marriage was not only about the happiness of two young people, but also about the fate of two families. Therefore, she was willing to give the choice to the Wen family and let Wen Qinyi decide whether to let Wen Yan Ya get involved in this unknown storm.
As Qin Shu finished speaking, the courtyard fell into a brief silence.
Wen Qinyi lowered his head, frowning, and was obviously thinking seriously about Qin Shu's words. These words, which contained a huge amount of information, required him some time to sort out and think.
After a long while, Wen Qinyi raised his head, looked into Qin Shu's eyes, and sighed deeply.
His eyes revealed complex emotions, including sympathy and understanding for the Qin family, as well as worry and consideration for Wen Yanya's future.
"Master Qin is really honest, and I really admire him for that. Frankly speaking, if it were out of my own selfishness, I would not want my daughter to take this risk." Wen Qinyi's tone revealed some helplessness, but then he changed the subject, "However, I know my daughter's character very well. She has deep feelings for Qixuan. Even if the Qin family is facing difficulties now, she will choose to overcome the difficulties with Qixuan without hesitation. Moreover, Master Qin and your children have achieved a lot, and the Qin family is growing stronger. I firmly believe that the Qin family has the ability to overcome this difficulty and will be more prosperous in the future."
Wen Qinyi's words undoubtedly indicated that he had agreed to this marriage. Although he had some concerns in his heart, he was ultimately moved by the Qin family's sincerity and Wen Yanya's feelings.
In Wen Qinyi's heart, Wen Yanya's feelings clearly occupied an important position.
He was well aware of his daughter's persistence and perseverance, and also understood her deep affection for Qin Qixuan.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to respect his daughter's choice and agree to this marriage.
"The Qin family was able to not abandon us when the Wen family was down and out, so how could the Wen family abandon the Qin family at a critical moment? Master Qin, if I have offended you just now, please forgive me." Wen Qinyi's attitude was very sincere, and he was obviously apologizing for his previous rude remarks.
Qin Shu shook her head quickly after hearing this, indicating that she didn't mind.
She knew that Wen Qinyi's worries and concerns were all out of a father's deep love for his daughter. Now that she could get his understanding and support, Qin Shu was filled with gratitude and relief.
"Although we were helpless before, our Qin family did let Yan Ya down in some ways and let her suffer some grievances." Qin Shu's tone revealed deep apology, "But please rest assured, Lord Wen, Qixuan has solemnly promised me that no matter how Zhao Shuoer threatened to kill him or used his power to pressure him, he would never have any emotional entanglement with her. I have no doubt about Qixuan's character and determination. On this point, Lord Wen, you can rest assured."
Qin Shu's words were also a promise that they would never let Wen Yan Ya suffer any grievances. She also knew that marriage was no joke, and the Qin family's previous debt to Wen Yanya must be compensated by treating each other sincerely in the future.
After hearing this, Wen Qin also nodded slowly.
He felt the Qin family's sincerity and determination from Qin Shu's words and expression.
Although he still had concerns in his heart, he chose to believe what Qin Shu said and was willing to give this marriage a chance. After all, the happiness of his children is the most important.
In this way, only the betrothal gifts and dowries were negotiated, and the wedding schedule was arranged.
Qin Shu and Wen Qin also reached a consensus on this matter.
Both of them felt that the marriage should be as soon as possible.
One reason is that the situation is turbulent. If it is later, the marriage may have to be postponed for a long time.
Secondly, although it was not what Wen Yanya and Qin Qixuan had originally thought, they were already husband and wife after all, so they had to get married early. Otherwise, if something unexpected happened and they were diagnosed with pregnancy, it would not sound good if it got out, and they would not be able to hold a wedding with a big belly. Although this was completely a precautionary measure, it made sense when you think about it carefully.
Thirdly, the marriage of the two had been delayed for too long, and most men and women of the same age as the two had already married. Since the marriage partner had been determined, there was no need to delay it any longer.
As for the betrothal gifts and dowry...
Although the Wen family was not as wealthy as the Qin family, the dowry prepared by the Wen family for Wen Yanya showed that it was all they could offer after their best efforts.
In the standard of ordinary ladies, it can be considered as top-notch, not to mention that the Wen family is in a bit of a downturn.
Qin Shu did not think that the Wen family took too little, but gave Wen Yanya some more as a gift.
