Xu Wenqu was sitting in the car with the head of the Tang family. He just listened with his eyelashes lowered and did not interrupt. When he accidentally glanced away, he saw Qi Jing's expression.
Qi Jing's expression gave the impression that something was about to happen and he was waiting leisurely. Xu Wenqu raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Tang Shiyue.
As expected, Tang Shiyue smiled. She said, "Uncle, are you trying to make me laugh?"
The old patriarch choked.
Tang Shiyue said calmly, "Fushou wine, Tang family fruit wine, is right here. It is the only one in the world, so it is bound to attract people's covetousness. You hide it, conceal it, don't other people know who produced this wine? You buy grain and fruits by the bucket, and pull out wine by the jar. Can you hide this? Can you hide it for a day or two, or a month or two?"
Everyone was suddenly speechless.
Tang Shiyue continued, "In the face of huge interests, being low-key and honest is the most useless thing. Counting on the sympathy of others, thinking that the problem can be solved by kneeling, crying, and begging, is too naive."
"Let me ask you, if you hunted a wild boar and a stranger told you he was poor and begged you to give it to him... would you give it to him? If that's the case with a wild boar, what about a wine shop? Therefore, the safest way is to show yourself in front of everyone and let everyone know that there is such a place. Then if something happens, someone will notice it."
"In this way, the other party must consider the risks of being exposed and will not dare to act rashly. This is relatively safer."
She only spoke to the clan leader and did not mention anyone else, but everyone else felt a little embarrassed and felt that their faces were a little painful from being hit.
...
...
Fourth Uncle Tang smoothed things over: "Today's incident was an accident, don't think too much about it, luckily it was a safe one."
Madam Zhou couldn't help but say, "I still think that Yue'er, your marriage should be settled earlier. If it was settled earlier, wouldn't all these things have happened?"
Tang Shiyue was helpless: "Aunt, you still don't understand what I said. In the face of huge interests, not everyone will be reasonable with you. Your idea that if you don't cause trouble, others will not cause trouble to you, it won't work."
"Let's say I'm just a little village girl, an unmarried young lady. What do you think would be the first thing someone would think of when they see something in my hand?"
Everyone was silent.
Tang Shiyue said: "It's either marrying or taking someone as a wife. It's reasonable and legal. This is a 'soft' move. No matter what, we will have time to react. If I get engaged now, then no matter what the other party wants to do, it's just robbing and seizing someone else's wife. It's unreasonable and illegal. So what move will they use?"
Qi Jing said calmly: "A damaging move, or a killing move."
"Yes," Tang Shiyue was very satisfied with this supporting role: "They will use dirty tricks to ruin my reputation, or directly attack the man, which is a 'hard' move of murder and arson. We will not have time to react. If something happens, it will be too late to undo what has been done and we will regret it."
Several people fell silent.
Everything she said made sense and was absolutely correct. Even the clan leader was speechless. What else could they say?
Moreover, when she talked about marriage, she was frank, understanding, and spoke calmly and with reason... They had never realized so clearly as they did at that moment that she was indeed "the head of the Tang family" and she was indeed worthy of being "the head of the Tang family."
Compared with the awe of others, the old patriarch's mood was particularly complicated.
He couldn't even count how many years it had been since he had been "taught a lesson" like this. Even Chen Changyuan looked at him calmly, fearing that he would be unhappy, but in fact, he really didn't seem to be unhappy at all.
This young lady has a big vision and a broad perspective. She sees things very clearly. He really feels... convinced.
He couldn't help but glance at Qi Jing.
This is also a person he cannot see through.
Although he is young, he always does things with a calm and unhurried spirit, and has his own ideas. Only he can suppress Tang Shiyue, right?
Tang Shiyue returned home, and that night, she heard that Tang Shuizhi had returned.
She said that the Meng family didn't want her anymore and wouldn't let them in, so her whole family had no choice but to come back.
This is not surprising at all.
After all, Meng Ziyang made a huge embarrassment in public this time, which was definitely intolerable for a young master who had been doing everything smoothly. And Tang Shuizhi was a living evidence. How could he possibly keep her to make her upset?
However, Meng Ziyang's actions were really unrefined. Anyone who knew a bit about worldly matters would not do this, even if they took the child home and tried to kill him.
It's not that she doesn't value human life, but this way of handling the matter is in line with the established rules of this society. If you take a concubine into the house, you just don't want her, what's the big deal?
Dealing with such a person who has no taboos, it is really hard to guess what he will do next.
Tang Shiyue frowned.
Qi Jing said: "Don't think too much, I will take care of it."
Tang Shiyue asked, "How to deal with it?"
Qi Jing said: "This kind of person will never have a united front around him, so you can just bribe anyone."
She thought about it, but there was no good solution: "Okay."
Qi Jing glanced at her, then quickly looked away.
After a while, he coughed and looked at her again.
Tang Shiyue turned to look at him, and he quickly turned his face away, saying expressionlessly: "Ayue."
"Um?"
He said, "Actually, how about... we arrange the marriage? If he wants to kill or burn someone, just come after me. I'm not afraid. I can handle it."
"What are you going to do?" Tang Shiyue said proudly, "Who wants to marry you?"
He turned back suddenly: "You won't marry me?" His face darkened: "Then who are you going to marry?"
His eyes were very stern, the kind of fierce look that indicated that he would not give up unless she gave him a satisfactory explanation.
Then she asked him slowly, "Am I a spy from an enemy country?"
He frowned. "What?"
She leaned forward and looked him in the eye. "I'm not a spy from the enemy country, and this is not a national event. Why are you so fierce?" She slapped him on the forehead. "Don't you know how to comfort me?"
He was stunned for a moment. His anger disappeared in an instant, and he was at a loss.
Then he was silent for a long time, and whispered: "How... to coax?"
She said, "Praise me for being beautiful."
He took a breath and said, "Ayue is so beautiful, with a beautiful face like a flower and the moon. She is so beautiful that she can topple a country."
Good looks are really an advantage. Even if he speaks like he is reciting a book, his beautiful eyes looking at her seriously are a natural attraction.
She couldn't help but smile.
Qi Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said, "You haven't answered my question yet."
With his strict personality, he won't play tricks on others. Once he asks, he will definitely want an answer.
Tang Shiyue answered him seriously: "I don't know yet. Ah Jing, we have known each other through thick and thin. I like you very much, but it's the kind of love that I have for a friend. I don't have the feeling of 'I will not marry anyone but you' now, so I won't make a hasty decision."
Qi Jing was stunned for a moment.
He looked at her steadily, wanting to say something but not saying anything. After a long time, he suddenly stood up, turned around and walked away quickly without looking back.
