Chapter 023 Finding a new way

Yuan Ming kept this in mind. As for Ji Qingyue's plan, he just let him do it. Ji Qingyue was no longer a child. He believed that he could handle everything.

With Yuan Ming as a way, Ji Qingyue was more enthusiastic about helping Qin Qiaoer. He was busy every day, gathering information with his friends, and made a plan that seemed to be full of loopholes.

"When the poetry meeting starts, Wang Qian will recite his own poems. When it comes to singing and dancing, the singers we have arranged will come on stage and sing Wang Qian's evil deeds. The effect must be explosive." Ji Qingyue smiled maliciously.

Yuan Ming glanced at the "plan" they had written and frowned: "Are you going to show up?"

According to the plan, after the singer's performance, Ji Qingyue would stand up and point the finger at Wang Qian, and would never give him a chance to get away with it.

Ji Qingyue felt guilty after hearing this: "The other sisters are not qualified to enter, so this can only be done by me."

Yuan Ming said: "This banquet is hosted by the town governor. If you do this, not only will Wang Qian be ruined, but the town governor will also lose face. Others don't know, but you are the first to come forward, what kind of consequences will there be, have you thought about it?"

"What can he do to me?" Ji Qingyue muttered: "I am just the town governor of Shifang Town. Even in Cheng County, I am not afraid of anyone."

Yuan Ming was stunned.

"You are right." He paused for a moment: "You are the brother of the county magistrate, you really don't have to be afraid of anything."

Ji Qingyue looked at his calm face without any suspicious expression, and suddenly her heart was panicked.

He seemed to have said something wrong...

"Husband," Ji Qingyue held Yuan Ming's hand and explained hurriedly, "That's not what I meant. I just felt that someone had to step forward to resolve this matter, and I just happened to have the opportunity, so I agreed."

Yuan Ming did not move, and looked at him quietly: "Then have you ever considered my feelings? I took my husband to attend the Chrysanthemum Banquet, and in the end my husband exposed the hypocritical mask of another man in front of everyone. How should I react at that time? Applaud you or pretend that I know nothing?"

Ji Qingyue had never seen such a cold look in his eyes, and subconsciously retracted her hand.

"What should I do?"

Yuan Ming looked at him and slowly lowered his head, feeling very uncomfortable.

It must be admitted that he is different from Ji Qingyue. Even if he were to live again, he would still be a selfish and cold person to the extreme. Except for his husband and mother, he would not feel sympathy for anyone in this world, let alone sacrifice his own interests to help others.

When he first heard about Qin Qiaoer's experience, he really felt that she was very pitiful and met the wrong person, but he just sighed and moved on, nothing else.

If he really had to evaluate, he would even think that Qin Qiaoer had brought it upon herself, and there must be something hateful about pitiful people.

When she abandoned her parents who gave birth to her, raised her and spoiled her for more than ten years for a man, her tragic ending was already doomed.

He didn't believe that after living under the same roof with a man like that for several years, she would not be able to tell that he was not a good person. He also didn't believe that parents who loved their daughter so much would not look for her after her daughter disappeared.

But what about Qin Qiaoer?

She would rather believe in a mirage-like love than admit that she was wrong for the sake of someone who truly loved her.

So she is pitiful, but also hateful. To this day, she is still unwilling to stand up for herself and has to hide behind Ji Qingyue and the others. It is enough to show that she is not worthy of everything Ji Qingyue does for her.

Of course, there is no need to tell Ji Qingyue all these words.

After a brief thought, Yuan Ming asked, "Can you take me to see Miss Qin?"

Ji Qingyue hesitated. Qin Qiaoer had already returned to the Qin family. Because the Qin family's parents were hit so hard, they were very resistant to all men and did not allow them to get close to Qin Qiaoer.

"Qingqing, believe me, I will have a better solution." Yuan Ming said gently.

Ji Qingyue was soft-hearted to begin with, and when he heard Yuan Ming say that, he surrendered directly.

The next day, the two of them took a bullock cart to Xiaguan Village.

Ji Qingyue had been here many times, and he knocked on the door of the Qin family with familiarity.

As he said before, the Qin family's two elders had very different attitudes towards Ji Qingyue and Yuan Ming. Yuan Ming had reason to believe that if he had not been brought here by Ji Qingyue, he would have been kicked out long ago.

Of course, the premise of appearing peaceful is that he did not ask to meet Qin Qiaoer alone. As soon as

these words came out, the faces of the two elders of the Qin family changed immediately.

Yuan Ming was still calm and composed: "Qingqing is my husband, so he will naturally listen to me. If I don't agree, can you still sit here and wait for him to charge and break into your formation?"

As he said, he patted the back of Ji Qingyue's hand gently.

Ji Qingyue knew the seriousness of the matter, so naturally she would not ruin Yuan Ming's plan at this time, and nodded heavily.

Seeing this, Qin's father's eyes suddenly widened, his nostrils twitched, and he wished he could beat Yuan Ming up.

But Yuan Ming was not frightened by his eyes at all, and said calmly: "I will give you a moment to consider. If you don't agree, you will have to seek justice for your daughter. But by then, maybe you will not have to face a poor scholar, but a son-in-law." Hearing

this, Qin's father's shoulders collapsed and he sat paralyzed on the chair. Qin's mother covered her face and sobbed, saying how miserable her daughter was.

Yuan Ming turned a deaf ear to this, but Ji Qingyue couldn't bear it.

He walked to Qin's mother, held her shoulders, and comforted her softly: "Aunt Qin, my husband said he would help Qiao'er, and he will definitely help. If you don't cooperate, we can't do anything."

Yuan Ming did not stop him. Negotiations have always been like this, requiring one person to play the good cop and one person to play the bad cop.

After a while, Qin's father finally made up his mind and clenched his fists and said, "If you want to see Qiao'er, I can agree to it, but if you dare to threaten her or do anything bad to her, I will never let you go."

Yuan Ming smiled and said, "Of course."

Arriving at the door of a room in the backyard, Qin's father turned around and said, "Qiao'er is inside. Let her mother go in first. You can go in after Qiao'er agrees."

Yuan Ming nodded and agreed.

Qin's mother went in, and the door was closed again. Qin's father sat on the stone bench in the yard, staring at the door, without saying a word.

Yuan Ming looked around. Qin Qiaoer's room had the best lighting in the whole house. There was a small pavilion built outside to let in the cool air. Various flowers were planted around the pavilion. Whether it was the environment or the decoration, it was enough to show that the two elders of the Qin family loved their daughter.

It was a pity that this love was not cherished.

"Husband, what are you thinking about?" Ji Qingyue tugged at his sleeve.

Yuan Ming smiled and said, "I'm thinking about how to threaten her to come forward and identify Wang Qian."

Ji Qingyue's eyes widened.

"My husband just promised Uncle Qin..." He glanced at Qin's father sitting in the yard furtively, and lowered his voice as if he was afraid of being heard by him: "Qin Qiao'er is in an unstable mood now. You threaten her. What if she screams out?"

Yuan Ming was amused by his appearance: "I'm kidding you. I will definitely talk to her."

Ji Qingyue snorted, turned her head away and ignored him.

At this time, Qin's mother came out.

I don't know what she said to Qin Qiao'er inside. There were tears in the corners of her eyes. She said to Yuan Ming: "Go in, Qiao'er is waiting for you inside."

Yuan Ming nodded to Ji Qingyue and walked into Qin Qiao'er's room.

Her room was the same as the outside. Everywhere showed the love of the Qin family's two elders for her, and all kinds of furniture were of the highest quality.

After all, he was alone with a woman, so Yuan Ming did not close the door and sat on a chair far from the bed.

"Miss Qin, I am Qingqing's husband. I came here today to help you."

There was no movement on the bed covered by the gauze curtain.

Yuan Ming did not care and said to himself: "Qingqing is kind-hearted. After learning about your experience, he just wanted to seek justice for you and made a lot of efforts for this. I saw all this, so I did not stop him, but this does not mean that others can take advantage of him."

At this point, there was a sound of inhalation from the bed.

Yuan Ming curled the corners of his lips, and when he spoke again, everything became much easier.

Half an hour later, Yuan Ming walked out.

Ji Qingyue immediately went to meet him and asked nervously, "How is my husband? What did Qin Qiaoer say?"

Qin's father and mother did not come over, but they obviously turned their attention to Yuan Ming.

"It was agreed that Qin Qiaoer would go with us on the day of the Chrysanthemum Banquet, and she would expose Wang Qian's conspiracy in person." Yuan Ming said. Hearing

this, Qin's mother was immediately excited: "This is impossible!"

Yuan Ming's mouth corners slightly curved, and he looked at her leisurely: "Oh? I have already talked to Miss Qin, she said she wanted to deal with Wang Qian personally, which means she has let it go and no longer has unrealistic fantasies, but why are you not happy to hear this?"

"How is this possible?" Qin's mother was still in a trance.

Qin's father slapped her on the shoulder: "Okay, it's a good thing that my daughter has come to her senses. Master Yuan is right, we should be happy."

After leaving Qin's house, Ji Qingyue was unusually silent.

After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and said, "I always feel that Uncle Qin and the others' reactions are strange."

"You noticed it too?" Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows.

Ji Qingyue nodded: "I can't explain it, but I just feel that their attitudes are a bit contradictory. Maybe I'm thinking too much."

Yuan Ming touched his head: "Don't think about it. There are still three days before the Chrysanthemum Banquet. When the time comes, Qin Qiaoer will confront Wang Qian face to face, and we will know whether she is a demon or a monster." Ji Qingyue

didn't need to help Qin Qiaoer anymore, but he still had to follow Yuan Ming to the Chrysanthemum Banquet because of a sentence he heard when he was buying vegetables today.

"The Chrysanthemum Banquet is about to begin. Apart from those literati and elegant guests, I think this year's banquet may be a little different."

"Are you talking about Brother Jin?"

"You know me well! The articles written by Brother Jin are almost popular in the town. His writing skills are not weak. The town governor will definitely send him an invitation. I just don't know in what capacity he will attend."

...

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is interested.

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingyue rushed back home with a basket of vegetables, grabbed Yuan Ming's arm and started shaking: "Husband, husband! I want to go to the Chrysanthemum Banquet with you!"
