Feng Lai took the zither out of its box and placed it on the table to test its tone. He couldn't help but sigh, "It's indeed a famous piece. Judging from the inscriptions on the zither and the sound quality, I think it must have been a relic of Queen Wang Zhen."
Feng had loved the zither since childhood, and Yingchun had grown up with her. Even if she hadn't learned it, she knew it from osmosis. However, aside from the sound quality and the "Zhen" character on the zither's body, she couldn't discern anything special about the plain zither before her. "Could this be the legendary zither? Why doesn't it look like it to me? I heard that when Madam Wang Ruo left the palace for a trip, she took Queen Wang Zhen's beloved zither with her. Could this be a replica?"
Feng Lai laughed and said, "Silly girl, who told you that a person can only own one zither in his life?"
...After sending the last qin in the warehouse that hadn't yet found its true love, Tang Chen felt a sudden sense of relief. From today on, while he wouldn't see Feng Lai acting like a madman chasing after a unicorn mask, the mansion would have a touch of soothing qin music. It had to be said that for Qiu Liang, this was a very good thing. Now that he could calm down, raising the children would be easier.
After Tang Chen drank a cup of tea, he stretched himself and looked at Qinghe who was walking around the room. He said, "Ah, the matter of Princess Fenglai has come to an end. I think she won't make trouble again in the future. I think she is actually a very sensible person."
Qinghe continued while searching for something in Tang Chen's room, "Her problem has indeed been successfully resolved, but Lian Xin's problem is still a little short of resolution."
Tang Chen sighed softly, thinking of Lin Zhenzhen's current appearance. Although it was just their first meeting, he couldn't help but feel distressed: "...Lin Zhenzhen's matter, I think, must have been a big blow to Lian Xin."
After locking onto his target, Qinghe slowly moved over, as if deliberately concealing the purpose of his actions to create the illusion that he was just strolling around casually: "I don't think comforting her is the most important thing right now."
Tang Chen then said, "Of course, of course. We have to find a way to make Lin Zhenzhen feel better. I plan to contact Boss Hua to see if he can help."
"In my opinion, instead of wasting time and energy on an outcome that is impossible to achieve, it is better to kill her with a sword." As he spoke, Qinghe took down Wang Yanzhou's sword from the wall, and walked out quickly with a determined expression without waiting for him to finish his words.
It was only after Tang Chen sensed the change in Qinghe's expression that he suddenly realized that Qinghe wasn't trying to save Lin Zhenzhen, but to give her true salvation. "...Wait, you're not trying to kill her, are you?"
When Tang Chen chased out and loudly asked Qinghe about this matter, Qinghe stopped, raised the sword in his hand, and threw the scabbard aside neatly, saying, "That's exactly what I meant!"
"Oh my God, something bad is going to happen, something terrible is going to happen." After estimating Qinghe's running speed, Tang Chen knew that it was impossible to catch up with her with his own physical strength. He could only call out loudly when the situation became difficult to control: "Qiuliang, is Qiuliang there?"
Qinghe appeared and said, "Madam, I'm here."
Tang Chen hurriedly ordered, "Quick, quick, stop Master Zhang, don't let her do anything!"
"Yes, sir."
When Qinghe walked into the room with a sword in hand and an expressionless face, the doctor who came to bandage Lin Zhenzhen's wound had just left, and Lian Xin followed him out to see him off. Originally, he thought that since no one was around, it was a good time to act, but before Qinghe could give Lin Zhenzhen a quick death, Lian Xin rushed in and stopped Qinghe as if she had a premonition.
"Princess, didn't you already promise me? Why are you going back on your word now?"
Facing Xixin's sorrowful questioning, Qinghe's thoughts remained unchanged. Instead, they became even more resolute. "It's not that I went back on my word. It's you who didn't tell me the truth. She's already become like this. Even though she looks foolish now, who knows how much pain she must be in. Since you're her good friend, can you bear to watch her go on like this?"
Lian Xin stood in front of Lin Zhenzhen and said with red eyes: "But I can't just watch you kill her!"
Qinghe pointed his sword at the ground. Today, he wanted to see just how determined Lian Xin was. "So, you mean you want to fight me?"
"Princess!"
When Qiu Liang arrived and entered the house, he saw the master and servant facing each other. He thought that Tang Chen had just told him not to let Master Zhang take action. In other words, he should stand with Lian Xin now.
Qiu Liang's joining instantly changed the situation. Qing He frowned slightly. If he was just facing one of them, it would be fine. But if they joined forces, there would be no chance at all today.
"Qiuliang, I think you don't need to look at me anymore. Lianxin, if you want to fight, I'll accompany you. The bet is her life. If I win today, she will be mine. If you win, I don't care how you deal with her. I will pretend that what happened today never happened. When Tang Chen arrives, she and Qiuliang will be witnesses."
Lian Xin asked with a rather painful expression, "Princess, do you really have to go this far?"
After Qinghe gestured for Qiuliang to step aside, she pointed the sword at Lian Xin and Lin Zhenzhen, who was protected behind her with a hollow look in her eyes, like a puppet. "A short pain is worse than a long one. Besides, if you and I don't make a decision today, I guarantee that Lin Zhenzhen will not be the only one who will suffer in the future."
Don't say Qinghe doesn't consider Lianxin or her feelings. Lianxin is Qinghe's younger sister, having grown up under his watch. She and Lianqiao are as close to him as sisters. Lin Zhenzhen's half-dead, half-alive state could last a long time if she's unlucky. If Lin Feng, whose life or death is unknown, returns and witnesses this scene, he'll be one more person suffering. Besides, with someone like this to care for, how could Lianxin have time to think about her own life? And aren't those doctors, who might just be her punching bags, equally pitiful?
In short, Qinghe did this all for Lianxin's sake. Furthermore, since she had proposed this solution, she would 100% honor her promise and would never change her mind later. Whether Lin Zhenzhen lived or died today depended on fate.
After Tang Chen ran out of breath to the guest room, he happened to hear Qinghe's words. Seeing that the two of them were ready, he couldn't help but hold his waist and lean against the door and said, "Oh my god, are you really going to fight?"
