Chapter 61 Be more obedient and suffer less

This is a solution. By handing these two drawings over to the Ministry of War, this person would have made a great contribution, and it would also be able to cover up the fact that the weapons were privately cast.

Chu Li said nothing more.

Jiang Chen sent someone back to deliver a letter saying that Qian Yunxi had gone to a courtyard in the west of the city with the county magistrate's wife. Ruan Qinghuan and Chu Li looked at each other and it seemed that she was right. Wu Quan couldn't wait any longer.

He called the people brought by Jiang Ming and Chu Li and asked them to act according to the plan. Jiang Qi prepared the carriage and rushed to the west of the city.

Of course they couldn't show up for this matter and could only wait for news in the car.

The Bao family's carriage turned into an alley and came out hurriedly soon, apparently in a hurry to leave. The wind blew up the curtains and it was clear that Qian Yunxi was not in the carriage.

Even if Chu Li was stupid, he could guess what might have happened. However, he did not expect the county magistrate's wife to be so bold as to plot against the Qian family. After all, Lord Qian had once been a third-rank official in Beijing.

From this, it can be seen that, under the protection of the second prince, the Wu family has probably become the local tyrant of Lucheng... No, the entire Zhenjiang Prefecture.

Chu Li wanted to go over and take a look after learning some skills, but Ruan Qinghuan stopped him and said, "We can't do anything about this."

Chu Li couldn't bear to sigh, she really wanted to beat up the Wu brothers herself.

Just at this moment, several suspicious people crept over from the other side. They were obviously not the people they had arranged before, but the carriage stopped on the inside of the corner and they could not be seen clearly. However, Ruan Qinghuan's heart sank.

In the room, Qian Quxi was patiently helping Madam Tong draw patterns. Madam Tong, standing by, secretly looked at Qian Yunxi, who looked like a fairy. No wonder the eldest son of the Wu family must have her. Girls from the capital are really different.

Her skin is as white as snow and her eyes are as bright as water. She not only looks noble, but also exudes a sense of tenderness and grace. Any man who sees her would probably be unable to walk.

"I am not in good health. I am sick because of the continuous rain. I am sorry to trouble you to make this trip. I will definitely select more rouge and powder to give to my relatives someday."

Qian Yunxi smiled and said, "Mrs. Tong, you are joking. You are a regular customer of the Rouge Shop. This is just a small favor and it is not worth mentioning."

"After all, you are a girl from the capital, so you are very generous. Go ahead and paint first. I will drink the medicine and come back later."

Mrs. Tong went out of the door, the smile on her face disappeared, and a look of worry appeared on her face. The county magistrate's wife had thrown this hot potato into her hands. If anything happened, the Tong family would also suffer.

Although I usually call the county magistrate's wife a sister, it's only for the sake of this relationship so that the family business will be easier. But what happened today is a bit risky.

But she couldn't refuse, otherwise she would not only offend the county magistrate's family, but also Mr. Wu.

Who in Lucheng doesn't know that Young Master Wu is the one who can truly cover the sky with one hand?

Mrs. Tong turned her head to look in the direction of the door and sighed helplessly. Fortunately, the Wu family really wanted to marry Miss Qian, so it didn't matter even if the matter was already settled.

Not long after Madam Tong left, the door was pushed open again. Qian Yunxi thought it was Madam Tong who had returned, and said softly, "It will be finished soon, Madam, please wait a moment."

The moment he saw Qian Yunxi, Wu Quan's eyes lit up, completely changing his usual frail scholar look, and even his heartbeat quickened.

His Adam's apple rolled twice subconsciously, and he rubbed his hands, as if he was afraid of startling her, and said softly: "Miss Qian?"

Qian Yunxi's brush suddenly stopped, and a large ink stain spread across her painting. When she saw Wu Quan, she panicked and hid on the other side of the table, asking, "Why are you here?"

Because of nervousness, my voice couldn't help but tremble when I spoke.

However, little did he know that her weak and frightened look, like a frightened rabbit, made Wu Quan even more itchy. He really loved Qian Yunxi and had wanted to take her into his house as early as when she returned to Lucheng.

But at that time Lord Qian had just resigned, and the Second Prince warned him not to act rashly, so he has been waiting until now. Coincidentally, his wife died last year, so he just gave up his position as the principal wife, saving him the trouble of divorcing her.

"Don't be afraid, Miss Qian. I just happened to talk to Mr. Tong about something today. I didn't want to go to the wrong room. I didn't expect you to be here. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Only a fool would believe his lies.

Qian Yunxi was not stupid. Thinking back to why the wife of the county magistrate asked her to come here, it seemed that it was planned in advance. Then she looked at Wu Quan's ferocious appearance. It didn't look like he had taken a wrong path. He was clearly coming for her.

She tried her best to calm herself down: "Since Master Wu has something to discuss with Master Tong, you should go quickly to avoid delaying the important matter."

"No hurry, I've said almost everything I need to say. I want to have a chat with Miss Qian." He picked up the painting that was stained by ink and pretended to be sorry, saying, "Miss Qian is smart and skillful. This painting is so lifelike. It's all my fault for being so abrupt and scaring you. How do you want to make up for it?"

"No need, it's just a sample painting, I can just draw another one."

Wu Quan placed the drawing on the table and slowly approached Qian Yunxi. He took two steps and Qian Yunxi also took two steps, and the two of them walked around the table like this.

Wu Quan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, girl. I won't hurt you."

Qian Yunxi didn't say anything. She knew that if she continued wasting time like this, nothing good would happen. She glanced towards the door, which was some distance away from the table. If she ran fast enough, she should be able to run out.

Wu Quan sighed: "Miss Qian, just when you left, I had already proposed to the Qian family, and my father-in-law accepted it."

"No matter who is your father-in-law, I will not marry you." When Qian Yunxi heard about the betrothal, she was even more eager to return home.

On the contrary, Wu Quan said calmly: "Although our marriage is not a gift, it is also the intention of the noble concubine. Why are you so stubborn, young lady?"

Qian Yunxi's eyes reddened. Wasn't the compromise between her father and mother due to this?

Concubine Qi and the Second Prince use their power to bully others. My father is just a commoner now, how can he fight against them? Even if he is still in the court, he is still powerless.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Wu Quan felt a little distressed: "Ms. Qian is a sensible person. No matter how you make trouble, you can't change the result. It's better to make a good match and make everyone happy. How great is that?"

Qian Yunxi gritted her teeth in hatred. Even if she died, she would never marry this beast. She knew very well what kind of family the Wu family was. They were a family of good deeds, but they were just deceiving the world and stealing their reputation. They were more like a family of evil.

She gathered all her strength and ran towards the door. She only needed to break the door open to leave the room. However, the door didn't open when she pushed hard. She was bounced back and fell into Wu Quan's arms.

Qian Yunxi struggled desperately but to no avail. There was a huge disparity in strength between the man and the woman, and Wu Quan had hidden kung fu skills, so he easily half-carried and half-dragged her to the bed in the inner room. Qian Yunxi bit her in desperation. Wu Quan felt the pain and raised his hand to hit her, but the slap stopped when it was about to touch Qian Yunxi's red little face.

In the end, he couldn't bear to do it, but his tone turned cold: "You will be mine sooner or later, so be obedient and suffer less."
