The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Chapter 439 Disaster

Tang Yichen called Zhilan in to look after Qin Huiyin, and he went back to his room to rest.

As soon as he left, Qin Huiyin sat up.

She was not asleep and heard everything Tang Yichen and Chen Yu said.

They are looking for Bai Qiu.

She remembered what Song Yi said. Song Yi said that if she got too close to Bai Qiu, it would sooner or later cause him trouble, because the two gentlemen around her would never let such a playboy stay with her.

Tang Yichen has a good temper. If it were Song Ruize, Bai Qiu's arm would probably have been cut off.

Song Yi was right in reminding her that she really couldn't get too close to Bai Qiu.

Qin Huiyin immediately took Zhilan back to her Huiyin Courtyard.

As soon as she left, Tang Yichen came out from the room next door, looked at her rabbit-like figure, and laughed.

"Master, you deliberately let the Second Miss hear our conversation and let her know that we were looking for Bai Qiu. Will the Second Miss hold a grudge against you?"

"No. She just admires Bai Qiu at most. She wouldn't hold a grudge against her brother for someone she admires. It just so happens that she knows I'm looking for him, so she'll distance herself from him in the future."

"Oh, by the way, there's a letter from that man from the border. Master, please take a look." Chen Yu pulled out a letter from his pocket. "He's now changed his identity, starting as a soldier, and planning to build a career."

"He really didn't disappoint me." Tang Yichen read the letter, handed it to Chen Yu, and told him to burn it. "Give him a sum of money every month in the future. He has nothing now, and he can't move forward without money."

The next day, Qin Huiyin just opened her eyes and saw a resentful woman sitting beside the bed, glaring at her.

She was startled, and when she saw that it was Xia Ruwan, she said helplessly, "What are you doing again?"

"I treat you as a sister, what do you treat me as? I took you out for fun, but you actually tipped me off." Xia Ruwan grumbled.

"Well, it would be more convincing if you let the swelling on your lips go down before you come to bother me." Qin Huiyin leaned there with a mischievous smile on her face.

Xia Ruwan touched her lips and glared at her, her cheeks flushed: "I'm so angry."

"Master Li hasn't asked you to calm down yet? That doesn't work for him!"

"It's clearly his fault, yet he's still looking for trouble with me. What's wrong with the waiters at Yuzhu Pavilion? They're well-behaved and obedient, and they make me happy. I could buy ten or eight of them and take them home to raise. Wouldn't that be better than having to endure his bullying?"

"So, your problem hasn't been solved yet?"

"How do we solve this? The Li family wants him to climb up the social ladder, but my position is too low, and they won't look down on me! If he keeps pestering me like this, does he want me to be a nameless lover? Pah!"

"Why do I feel like you haven't suffered any loss? You're looking for a live-in son-in-law anyway. You and he are both busy with your own careers and won't stay at home all day waiting for your significant other to come home. In fact, whether there is a marriage certificate or not won't affect you at all."

Xia Ruwan looked at Qin Huiyin.

Qin Huiyin was startled by her eyes: "I'm just talking nonsense, don't be angry."

"You're right. Why should I care whether he marries me or not?" Xia Ruwan murmured, "If it's just for status, then I should give it to him, not him to me."

"So what did you figure out?"

"I love him now, so I'll just be with him! If one day he becomes ugly, or he treats me badly, I don't have to try every means to get a divorce like other women, I can just leave. If I want a child, I can also have a child with him, but we won't get married, so the child will be mine, and he must have my surname, Xia." Xia Ruwan became more and more excited as she spoke, and she clapped her hands to make it happen.

Xia Ruwan figured it out and said to Qin Huiyin, "You continue to sleep. I'll go find Li Congxiao to discuss how to deal with this shady relationship between us."

Qin Huiyin: "..."

To drive Li Congxiao crazy, all you need is Xia Ruwan.

When I first met Xia Ruwan, I thought she lived up to her name, gentle and charming. Now, it seems like mother, like daughter. Her mother is so straightforward and honest, how could her daughter be so weak?

Qin Huiyin lay back down: "People in love are so scary!"

Yuzhu Pavilion. Soldiers from the Military Commission rushed into the pavilion, waking everyone from their sleep. As the leader entered, he sized up the young waiter, who was standing unsteadily.

His gaze rested on Zhuge Congfeng.

Zhuge Congfeng yawned, tears trickling from the corners of his eyes. He wiped them away, then noticed someone watching him. Looking up, he saw the sharp-eyed commander of the military, Song Ruize.

"You are from the wind?"

Zhuge Congfeng: "...Yes."

"I heard that you like to sit on the lap of a little girl and feed her wine." Song Ruize pinched Zhuge Congfeng's neck with his fingers.

Zhuge Congfeng felt the call of the Black and White Impermanence.

"No, I have never done anything like this." Zhuge Congfeng said, "Sir, is there any misunderstanding?"

"Some people say that your Yuzhu Pavilion is harboring criminals. We have to search it." Song Ruize let go of Zhuge Congfeng and waved his hand. "Search carefully, don't miss a single corner."

Zhuge Congfeng: "..."

The madam came over, a big smile on her face, and secretly slipped a banknote in. "Sir, there must be some misunderstanding. We are an honest business here. We fight willingly and we will never do anything rash."

"This man's silver hair is an eyesore." Song Ruize said coldly.

"That's easy. I'll have his hair dyed back right away."

The military commander didn't stay in Yuzhu Pavilion for long. After searching for a while, he left with his men. Before leaving, he threatened the madam a few times, and the madam immediately understood what he meant.

On the top floor, in the study, Zhuge Congfeng angrily pushed the door open and walked in.

"Is that guy sick? What happened to my silver hair? Why does it bother him?"

Puyang Qiubai raised the corner of his mouth. "There's a storybook that came out recently. The fox fairy in the book has silver hair, a red mole on his forehead, and a pair of fox eyes."

"So what? I know the book, and the author is my client. He saw me and was so taken aback by my beauty that he created this character for me."

"That military commander has a little girl with him. I think she likes reading storybooks. You've seen her before. She's the girl you said you would entertain without paying her."

"Are you saying that he made all this trouble just to warn me not to get close to her? And that he made me dye my natural silver hair back to avoid seducing that little girl?"

Puyang Qiubai looked at Zhuge Congfeng's frantic expression and raised his lips in a good mood.

"You're still laughing! I haven't seen you laugh like this in a few years, right? It's such an honor to make you smile." Zhuge Congfeng said sarcastically, "He didn't allow me to get close, but I insisted on getting close."
