Although Zhang Tingyu's words deeply moved Qiu Wen, the relationship between the two still needed to be discussed properly.
It sounds simple, but it's also a bit complicated. To put it bluntly, it's about the unequal social status between the families. Qiu Wen doesn't mind these things, nor does she mind the difficulties she might face in the future. But one thing is certain: is this the kind of life she wants?
Another point is that Zhang Tingyu is still relatively young. He is currently very devoted to her, but what about the future? What if there are rumors and gossip, and if the elders put pressure on him again?
Being a daughter-in-law in a wealthy family is difficult even in modern times, let alone in an era like ancient times when social status and family background were highly valued.
These are all issues that need to be considered.
Actually, she shouldn't have thought so much about it. She originally just planned to have a relationship, a relationship without worrying about the outcome. But now, she's finding it harder and harder to let go, even though the two of them don't seem to know each other very well.
Since emotions were involved, it's inevitable to want a result.
Qiu Wen thought of the system. She originally planned to use it for fun. As for money, enough is enough. Besides, she never had a reason to be rich before, but now she does.
There's a saying that goes, "If you do anything to the extreme, you'll earn the respect of others." So what if a businesswoman has a low social status? As long as she does her business well, no one will dare to look down on her. As for her social status, that won't be a big problem then.
If it were truly possible, the Qiu family would treat her as they see fit, but if necessary, they could naturally relinquish this identity.
Now that Qiu Wen had made up her mind, she decided to work hard. She had come to the Qing Dynasty hoping for a peaceful and quiet life, so she did some small-scale business. But it seemed she couldn't continue like this.
Although he had made up his mind, he did not tell Zhang Tingyu about it.
With such a big incident, Zhang Tingyu naturally couldn't stay any longer. The time he managed to explain to Qiu Wen was time he squeezed out of his schedule.
“I have noted down what you said. If you treat me with such sincerity, I will certainly reciprocate with the same sincerity.”
The unspoken understanding between the two has now been completely broken.
Zhang Tingyu was happy, and it was inevitable that his joy and anger would show on his face, as he looked at the increasingly handsome and refined young man.
Qiu Wen looked at him; his face was even more delicate than that of a young heartthrob, and coupled with his unique temperament, he truly embodied that saying.
A gentleman as fine as jade, unparalleled in the world.
Having received confirmation, Zhang Tingyu sent a servant to escort her back, and then he himself returned home.
Zhang Tingyu's expression changed instantly after leaving Qiu Wen. He was already in a bad mood because of what happened today, so he decided to go to the prison to check on things.
To be honest, Zhang Tingyu knew that the process of interrogating prisoners was usually quite bloody. He himself did not have any connections with the Ministry of Justice, so he had only heard of it before but had never been there in person.
After all, seeing too much blood and gore is considered unlucky.
Today, however, he intends to examine it himself.
After leaving the restaurant, he went straight to the prison.
Qiu Wen was sent back by Zhang Tingyu's servant. Luo Xue felt a little strange. Why didn't Young Master Zhang come by himself? And the young lady looked a little off. She politely dismissed the servant and then asked, "Miss, are you alright?"
Qiu Wen shook her head: "It's nothing."
Then he added, "Let's spend the night here and set off for Zhuangzi tomorrow."
Seeing this, Luo Xue assumed that Zhang Tingyu had done something to displease her young mistress and asked, "Miss, did Young Master Zhang do something?"
Qiu Wen shook her head: "Don't worry, your young lady is doing well."
Luo Xue breathed a sigh of relief. She knew her young mistress's temperament and that she would never compromise herself for anything else.
Since you've said that, then it's really alright.
Zhang Tingyu interrogated him for a long time and found out most of the truth. In fact, the man was not a high-ranking official. He was a prefect, just like Wang Qiang, but he was stationed in a remote place and was a homosexual.
In remote areas, although he acted arrogantly, no one dared to do anything to him, so he felt that he was invincible and acted without any scruples.
The reason he was able to return to Beijing to report on his work this time was not because his job was particularly good. Rather, a number of corrupt officials had fallen from grace in his original location. Where he went, he simply embezzled less than the corrupt officials in the original location, but his behavior was much more arrogant than before.
After this back and forth, he had the opportunity to return to the capital to report on his work.
Zhang Tingyu wrote down his crimes in the dossier and then sent people to escort him to the capital along with the evidence.
When Zhang Tingyu returned to his residence, someone was already waiting for him.
His entourage was quite large; it's impossible that Bobo and the others didn't know about his heroic rescue.
So it was Bobo and Fuqing who came over. They're usually quite close, so when they heard about this, they came specifically to ask.
"Greetings, First Prince, Brother Fuqing."
Bobo said, "Sit down and let's talk."
"Thank you, Brother Xie."
What's the situation between you and that girl?
Bobo was quite direct, asking the question right away.
Zhang Tingyu thought for a moment and said, "That girl is the owner of Wensi Bookstore. The more I investigated her, the more I couldn't help but fall for her, so..."
They understood.
That's why we have such a wonderful show today.
"Did you get any results from interrogating that person?"
"He's confessed everything he needed to." Then Zhang Tingyu recounted the man's crimes. Although Bobo was angry after hearing this, she knew that such things were unavoidable.
Fuqing listened from the side and thought that the man was really bold. He wanted to snatch Zhang Tingyu's son in the street and even said that he would give Zhang Tingyu an official position in the future.
That's absolutely hilarious.
Does he think official positions are like things sold at street stalls, something you can buy whenever you want?
I really don't understand.
