"If you are too eager for success in everything, it will be counterproductive. Furthermore, even if Mu Ying takes the blame, the Mu family will not be affected at all."
At Mrs. Mu's birthday party, the appearance of the fourth prince was disfigured, Mu Ying's legs were disabled and she became mute, and Qin Zeng rescued the injured Li Qingyi in front of everyone's eyes. No matter what happened, it was difficult to hide it.
Therefore, there is a lot to be done in the future, and there is no need to confront the Mu family head-on.
"Yeah." Qin Zeng hummed deeply. He knew she was smart, but he didn't expect her to be so smart. "You don't have to worry about these things. It's not too late to take good care of yourself first."
Li Qingyi's mind was racing so fast at this moment that he refused to sleep again, "Mu Ying must be punished. The reason is that Mu Yuanchang has already convicted her. She can't escape the ostracism of the common people. "
Qin Zeng nodded and said: "People's words are terrible. Gossips can often hurt people's fundamentals. There are still a few tough censors in front of the emperor, and they will not let go easily. It's just that I have wronged you."
Li Qingyi smiled, shook his head and said: "I'm not wronged. I never think that hacking people to death is a way to relieve hatred. Instead, I think it is too easy for the evildoers. The Mu family is decaying little by little, and suffering from the torture of waiting for death is the most satisfying thing." Isn’t it?”
Qin Zeng lowered his head to look at her eyes carefully and said, "You know a lot about the Mu family."
Li Qingyi had long been prepared that Qin Zeng would ask this question.
As smart as Qin Zeng, how could he not feel it?
It is difficult to explain clearly based on her knowledge of the Mu family's secret ways.
"Don't blame me, sir. I didn't mean to hide it. It's just that some things cannot be explained clearly in a few words."
Qin Zeng looked down at her and said calmly: "Are you perfunctory with me?"
Li Qingyi was slightly surprised: "I..."
Qin Zeng didn't wait for her to say anything else, and said: "There is nothing wrong with what you did. That day in Chonghua Palace was not all your fault. As long as you can keep the secret secret, there will be no disputes or conflicts between you and me." , you don’t need to tell me everything, and I have no interest in using my power to suppress you.”
"That's not what I meant..."
Li Qingyi defended, but then paused.
Now she seems to have no position to tell Qin Zeng too much.
Between them, it seems that it is what Qin Zeng said...
Qin Zeng looked at her deeply, swallowed the rest of her words when she was halfway through her words, raised his head indifferently and stopped looking at her.
The two fell into silence again.
The originally spacious carriage suddenly made Li Qingyi feel cramped and uncomfortable, and the parts of his body that were tightly held by Qin Zeng also felt a little uncomfortable.
Qin Zeng seemed to notice her nervousness, and did not look at her. He only stared at the slightly swaying car curtain and said, "I have asked your second uncle to come over."
Li Qingyi's heart suddenly thought: "What to do?"
An inexplicable atmosphere flowed silently between the two.
Qin Zeng's eyes dimmed for a while, and he saw that Li Qingyi's expression was still astonished, and his tone contained anger: "When I get back to normal in the future, the people in the capital will definitely think of what happened today, and will think that you are the person that I, Qin Zeng, like. , are you still looking forward to someone who dares to marry you?"
The shock in Li Qingyi's heart slowly fell. It turned out that this was what Qin Zeng thought.
Is he going to have a showdown with his second uncle?
probably not.
Qin Zeng would not tell his secret and ask his second uncle to marry her because of such a trivial matter.
Therefore, Qin Zeng should have used his identity as the admiral of Dongchang to force his second uncle to show that he wanted to marry her and not let his second uncle and aunt see her for the marriage...
Li Qingyi was stunned.
Qin Zeng had good intentions, and he was willing to marry her because he was responsible for her, but would his second uncle and second aunt sell her out of fear of power? Certainly not.
I don’t know what my second uncle and second aunt will do by then!
"grown ups!"
There was urgency in Li Qingyi's tone.
"My lord, there is no need to think too much, and there is no need to be embarrassed. If others are afraid of your power and do not dare to marry me, then they are not sincere, and I will not marry. If in the future someone goes through all kinds of obstacles, regardless of safety just to have a good relationship with me, that is also true. A beautiful story..."
Her tone was casual, and she did not attach importance to the relationship between a man and a woman or marriage, and wanted to make the other party feel at ease.
Moreover, deep down in his heart, Li Qingyi did not want Qin Zeng to marry her out of responsibility.
But this was completely different to Qin Zeng's ears.
His face remained angry and even more gloomy: "You don't want to follow me?"
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that it's not necessary."
Li Qingyi explained helplessly, "You and I are both transparent people, why do we have to do anything for the sake of other people's words and looks?"
"reluctantly?"
Qin Zeng repeated Li Qingyi's words in a very cold tone, his eyes staring at her for a moment, almost staring at her, and his arms around her tightened unconsciously.
Li Qingyi only felt that there was an invisible net covering her tightly, and the invisible oppression made her slightly suffocated.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand to push him: "Quickly let go..."
Feeling Li Qingyi's rejection, Qin Changzheng's aura of having held a high position for a long time suddenly burst out. He was about to say something, but the carriage slowly stopped at this moment.
Nagasawa's voice came from outside: "Sir, we are here."
The two of them were instantly separated from the tense and frozen situation, and each returned to silence, but no one took the lead.
Qin Zeng's face became even more ugly because his words were stuck in his throat.
Li Qingyi also looked embarrassed by such a dilemma.
Nagasawa, who was waiting outside, saw the car curtain hanging there motionless, and there was no movement at all inside the car. He couldn't help but look at each other with Islas Changlan, who had already gotten out of the car.
Several people were a little confused and did not dare to lift the car curtain without permission.
Islam was worried about Li Qingyi's injury and winked at Nagasawa repeatedly.
Nagasawa had no choice but to test with a grimace: "Sir?"
After a long while, Qin Zeng finally said a deep 'hmm'.
Nagasawa, who has been with Qin Zeng for many years, knew that the master was in a bad mood when he heard this tone. Could it be that Miss Li's injury was too serious?
He stretched out his hand to open the car curtain, and saw that the two people in the car still looked the same as when they got in, without changing at all, but their expressions seemed a little wrong.
"grown ups……"
Qin Zeng stood up slowly and remained seated for a long time without moving. His legs were a little numb and he couldn't stand upright in the carriage. He had to bend his body and slow down for a while before lifting his steps.
Li Qingyi noticed something strange about him and felt a little sorry, so he said, "Sir, put me down."
Unexpectedly, the other party said coldly: "Are you so anxious?"
Li Qingyi choked. He didn't know why he was so angry. He felt angry and stopped talking.
Nagasawa followed behind Qin Zeng, frequently winking at Isatis and Silas, and mouthing, "What's going on?"
How could Woad know? She mouthed back: "How do I know!"
The two looked at Chang Lan together, and Chang Lan silently guessed: "A fight?"
