Seeing that the hall fell into a strange dead silence, Chen Quan'er suddenly felt an inexplicable humiliation, as if she was the villain who croaked and robbed.
Finally, the unruly Miss Diaoman, who had nothing to do, made a splash in front of everyone, and then dragged the Mr. Steward, who had been silent, into trouble, and said to Chen Defu:
"Dad, the facts are clearly in front of us. This wild boy stole our things and you didn't even care! You said you shouldn't jump to conclusions! If you don't believe me, ask Lao Li if anyone else came here during his duty in the afternoon. ?”
Chen Quan'er pouted and looked towards the steward, with her back to Old Chen, and winked at the steward. However, Old Chen couldn't see it here, but Qingyun could see it clearly. It could even be said that Chen Quan'er did it deliberately. He saw it.
"It's broken! Chen Quan'er did this on purpose!"
At this time, Qingyun also saw the fishiness in it, and couldn't help but gnashed his teeth in his heart.
The steward, Lao Li, had a very open heart. Although the lady had promised him a lot of benefits before, the master's intention to protect Qingyun was very obvious.
The young lady cannot be offended, but the master cannot be offended either, so before he spoke the words, he quickly turned his head three times before lowering his head to report:
"Back to the master, it is true that no one else came during my duty in the afternoon. However, because I did not carefully check the area where the pearls were placed at first, I also discovered that there were missing pearls in the evening, so I thought Qingyun would come to pick them up in the afternoon. It was about the goods, so I reported it to the lady later, sir, please take a closer look."
What the steward said is absolutely perfect, and the meaning is very clear. You can argue among yourself. Anyway, don't make things difficult for me anymore.
However, his betrayal made Chen Quan'er very angry. She didn't expect that this old thing was actually a wallflower. She had made it clear that she wanted to get out of the matter, but she had used the pearls, and she couldn't accuse the old manager in person. Defection in battle.
This directly caused the eldest lady to have a bad temper, so she was so angry that the veins next to her temples bulged.
After hearing what the steward said, Lao Chen sighed slightly in his heart, confirmed his previous guess, and said to Chen Quan'er:
"Okay, okay, Quan'er, it's nothing serious. I just lost a pearl. Our Chen family has a lot of these things. Besides, it's not necessarily stolen. It may have ended up there. I don't know. Let Manager Li look for it when the time comes. Qingyun, since there's nothing else, you can go down. It's getting late, so you should go to the kitchen to get some food and rest early."
While comforting Chen Quan'er, Lao Chen also waved his hand to Qingyun, signaling him to leave this place of trouble and trouble quickly. He didn't want his little apprentice, who was so happy, to end up in the government office because of something as trivial as a sesame seed or a mung bean.
Seeing that his plan to get rid of the wild boy was ruined, and his father not only did not say a word to the wild boy, but also asked him to eat and rest early, which made Chen Quan'er, who had always regarded Qingyun as a thorn in his side, completely furious. .
She put her left hand on her waist, pointed at Qingyun with her right hand and cursed like a shrew:
"Well, you are a wild boy who has been raised but not taught. Even if you stole my things, I don't know what magic you used on my father. I protect you everywhere. How can you compare to my brother Linfeng! Don't think that I can't You know, my father just likes you, a pretty boy who has studied for several years, and wants to recruit you to be the son-in-law of my Chen family! I, Chen Quan'er, am here to tell you that from today on, you are no longer a member of my Chen family. , get out of here, you want to occupy my Chen family’s property, there’s no way!”
After scolding Qingyun, the tigress-like Chen Quan'er didn't seem to be relieved, and scolded Qingyun's parents again:
"Looking at you like this, you know what it means to have a crooked upper beam and a crooked lower beam. What kind of parents can give birth to a shameless rag like you! You are young and have a big heart. If I were your parents, I would sooner or later make you angry to death. ! No, no, no, looking at you like this, I guess your parents are not good people either!"
Chen Quan'er cursed so many words in one breath, then turned around, pointed at Old Chen, and roared:
"And you! I will tell you directly today that I, Chen Quan'er, will not marry anyone except Quan Linfeng. From now on, I will be in the Chen Mansion without him or me!"
After saying that, he puffed up his face and walked out angrily in front of Qingyun.
Looking at Chen Quan'er who was making a lot of nonsense, surprisingly, Qingyun did not respond to the slander with silence or compromise this time. He lowered his head, and his clenched fists turned red first, then white, and then Said word for word:
"You can make things difficult for me, you can beat and scold me, you can also slander me, but you should never, never insult my parents. I, Qingyun, ask myself that I have never done anything like a rooster or a dog robber since I was born, and I feel no shame. In the world, I have never had the idea of getting married to make money as you just said."
As he spoke, Qingyun's voice became thicker and thicker, and he continued:
"I work dedicatedly here for no other reason than to repay Mr. Chen for taking care of me. Unexpectedly, in just a few months, you not only blamed me in every possible way, but now you are using that dirty theft to frame me." It's my fault! Although I, Qingyun, am young, I can only distinguish between grudges and grudges! The kindness of dripping water cannot be forgotten, but the hatred of humiliating my parents will definitely be explained in the future. Uncle Chen, Qingyun says goodbye!"
After saying that, Qingyun bowed solemnly to Chen Defu to show his gratitude, and then strode towards his house regardless of whether anyone blocked him or not.
Seeing how this hateful boy actually dared to kick him, and even walked away without a trace.
Chen Quan'er originally planned to catch up with them and give them a slap in the face, but then she thought about it, but I didn't force you to leave on your own this time, so she gave up the idea and just snorted contemptuously and spat:
"What the hell!"
Then she turned sideways and stared at Lao Chen with a fake look on her face, trying to test how he would react to this.
But this time, Lao Chen didn't speak. He just looked at his precious daughter with a steady look, sighed deeply, and left alone without saying a word, as if he was compromising but also helpless.
The steward watched the master and Qingyun leave, leaving him and the lady alone in the back hall. The atmosphere was very awkward, so he said goodbye and left dejectedly. In an instant, only the Chen Quaner stood alone in the hall.
Watching everyone leave one by one, Chen Quan'er finally laughed happily, her eyes filled with the joy of winning a battle.
After this incident, it is estimated that my father will never cause trouble again. Thinking of this, Chen Quan'er's smile became sweeter, just like the peach blossoms in spring, elegant and charming, waiting for you to pick them.
Let’s talk about Qingyun.
After returning to the house, he simply took off the clothes of the servants of the Chen Mansion, put on his own green shirt, and hurriedly packed his luggage, ignoring the night sky that was already dotted with stars, and prepared to open the Chen Mansion.
Although he felt guilty for not repaying Lao Chen's kindness, Qingyun also understood that he actually did not owe Lao Chen anything. It could even be said that Lao Chen did not give him anything more.
As for the care on the road, Qingyun didn't even eat a piece of dried meat from Chen Defu, didn't even drink a sip of water, let alone the wages of being an apprentice. This is an equal transaction, I work for you, you pay me, no matter how much or how little. It's your love and my wish, no matter how young or old you are.
If there is, it is deep in Qingyun's heart. That's just a trace of dependence on Lao Chen, like the care of an elder.
However, after seeing clearly what Chen Quan'er had done to him during this period, and how Lao Chen handled it, Qingyun still decisively chose to leave.
Because he is not stupid. Even if he escapes today's disaster, there will still be a disaster tomorrow. What is supposed to come will always come.
Chen Quan'er, a female devil, would have a thousand ways to get rid of her, and she was Lao Chen's only daughter. No matter what she did, Lao Chen would forgive her, not to mention that she was just a small apprentice of the Chen family.
Most importantly, Chen Quan'er insulted his deceased parents!
As the old saying goes, dragons have scales, and the only scars Qingyun cannot touch now are his parents and those who died in Liangren Village.
But Qingyun is kind after all. No matter how vicious Chen Quan'er is, he is always full of gratitude towards Lao Chen.
In the end, after he couldn't find any reason to repay Lao Chen, he actually thought that Lao Chen's kindness was to take out his secret handbook of herbs for him to learn, because this was Lao Chen's lifelong experience, and this favor was Have to report.
Thinking of this, Qingyun couldn't help but laugh at himself:
"You must never be a good old man again."
Of course, sooner or later, Chen Quan'er will have an answer for his insult to his parents. When he grows up and becomes capable, he will surely come to seek justice.
He is alone now and cannot fight against the entire Chen family. He is very sensible.
In the end, Qingyun, who weighed the pros and cons, did not return the wages of the past few months to Lao Chen, because this was his only property. Without these few taels of silver, it would not be long before he would find the Immortal Sword Sect, let alone find it. starve.
So, after careful consideration, he decided to leave one of his few potions for Lao Chen.
Qingyun didn't know what medicinal materials were used to make these potions, but he knew that his father was an immortal and a monk. The things he made for himself must be extremely precious, and it was very likely to be fairy medicine.
Besides, now that he has Qilin Fang, the time for the cold poison to attack is getting shorter and longer, so one day he will no longer need these potions.
Leave a bottle to Uncle Chen. I believe that based on his experience, he should also know how valuable the potion is and be able to repay his kindness.
Finally, he originally wanted to write a letter to say goodbye to Chen Defu, but he found that whenever he wanted to write, he didn't know what to write.
It wasn't until the stars filled the magnificent Milky Way like pearls that Qingyun put down his pen, sighed bitterly, and closed the door and left.
Before leaving, Qingyun found the servant surnamed Xu who had tipped him off, hoping that he could help him deliver the potion to the master. After the servant surnamed Xu agreed, he left Chen, who had lived there for more than two months. Family courtyard.
Qingyun didn't wait for Lao Chen to come and take a look at him, nor did he wait for the wine made by Mrs. Zhao herself, nor did he wait for the cakes Liu'er promised to make for him in the palace.
From the night his father left until now, Qingyun feels as if he can't wait for anyone or anything he should wait for. He doesn't know if he is walking too fast, or if the word "wait" is as long as a rut.
But before leaving the city, he looked up at the sky and suddenly laughed. It turned out that there was a dreamy new moon waiting for him ahead.
