Chapter 298 - The Commotion in Front of Qin Manor (2/2)
Who else could prove it other than the two parties themselves?
Old Sir Li was convinced that this marriage would be settled but he did not expect Young Sir Qin to be so calm in even suggesting that the girl should give birth to her child first. A born child could not be returned to the womb, and it would be devastating to the Li family if it was not Qin Yufeng’s child.
Furthermore, the cold arrogance from Qin Yufeng’s eyes made him froze with fear. However, he was unwilling to settle the matter and thus bit his teeth, putting up a front. “Young Master Qin, how can you deny the claim! You, you are outrageous! I am going to find Ding General for justice.”
He believed that Qin Manor would give Ding General Manor face as Ding General Manor was an extremely prestigious family, having two generations of their children as empresses. Even though they did not know him, he could bluff the Qin family into it.
Knowing that he was using the power of Ding General to suppress him, Qin Yufeng sneered as he walked up, whispering, “Old Sir Li, you must be clear about matters concerning your daughter. If I say now that I gave my jade penchant to a servant in my manor, would your precious daughter be willing to marry him and be a maid here?”
His eyes were ferocious and threatening like a sharp blade that fell on Old Sir Li’s face and made him s.h.i.+ver in fright. If that was the case, he could only marry her daughter to a servant. The thought of her precious daughter being ordered around made Old Sir Li afraid.
He dared not to sacrifice everything. Furthermore, he knew that Ding General Manor would not be concerned with his marriage, as his maid had been chased out of Ding General Manor this morning. However, what could his daughter do now?
He was dumbfounded!
“Old Sir Li, I will settle your daughter’s marriage. It would be easy for her to enter an aristocratic family. Just let her abort the child and I will have a plan to let her marry into a family without ruining his reputation. If you still want to focus on me, your family will be ruined regardless of which path you take.” Seeing that he was hesitant, Qin Yufeng frowned and tempted him.
“My daughter can… marry into an aristocratic family?” Bearing love for his daughter, Old Sir Li asked with uncertainty.
“Of course, if you don’t believe me. You can hold my jade penchant and return me when your daughter marries into the aristocracy.”
Holding the hade pendant meant that they had evidence of Qin Yufeng’s acts. Even if Qin Yufeng did not commit his promise, they can come here and stir up another commotion. Upon further thought, Old Sir Li decided that this idea was excellent. He could not afford to offend this gentle yet vicious young man.
Furthermore, as the Young Master in aristocrat family, he could sacrifice his career to ruin their lives if they forced him to have another man’s son.
Having understood that, Old Master Li immediately stopped making trouble. He went to the front of the carriage and said something before stamping his feet in rage as if he wanted to beat up the person inside the carriage. The maid in front of the carriage pulled him away, shouting, “Old Sir, forgive miss. Miss was afraid and just uttered a random name! Forgive her!”
“What did I tell her before? Not only did she not follow a woman’s conduct, but she also lied and hurt both us and them! I shall beat her to death!” Old Sir Li was jumping up and down, apparently, he was so angry that he lost control of his voice.
Everyone around them was all stupefied! This was a new situation!
“Old Sir Li, since your daughter said that I was not the one, let’s not make a fuss here. It’s not good for her reputation if you continue making a fuss. Please return and complete the marriage with her husband when he comes to the capital.” With his handsome face, Qin Yufeng’s was all smiles as he held on to Old Sir Li’s hands as if he were comforting him.
This meant… he was the wrong person? The crowd was confused!
That’s an absurdly fast change!
“Young Master Qin, I’m so sorry for today. My girl is ill-disciplined to have had stated a huge lie and has tarnished your reputation. It’s truly my responsibility. Please forgive me and I will come forth to apologize officially another day.” Old Sir Li’s face was red with shame as if he were greatly disappointed in his daughter, sighing and shaking his head.
He clasped his hands together and left with his family, saying nothing much with Qin Yufeng. With those staging the drama gone, the audience looked at each other in disbelief, as they did not expect the show to end this way.
Lord Qin heaved a sigh of relief. Ignoring the crowd, he returned to his manor. Anyway, this matter was resolved easily, and his family would not be criticized tomorrow.
Qin Yufeng and Qin Yuxuan followed him in before the door was closed shut!
“Big brother, you are so amazing, convincing that thug family to retreat just by using a few words. That lady is just a s.l.u.t to have a kid even before marriage. How dare she come forth to our family to stir a commotion! It is indeed because of big brother’s wits that they retreated.” Qin Yuxuan was standing close to Qin Yufeng and heard what he said to Old Sir Li. Immediately, he felt admiration for his big brother as they had won this battle.
“Shut up!” Lord Qin scolded him before staring harshly at Qin Yufeng, scolding him, “You are grounded this few days. Learn in the study room and get good grades in the exams! Don’t horse around anymore.”
With anger and annoyance, he rushed back to the yard.
“What happened to Father?” Qin Yuxuan touched his head, confused.
“Alright, I shall go back and study. You shall go back and rest!” Qin Yufeng smiled but did not answer, walking instead to the study room. It was indeed time for him to take the imperial exam. He was too weak and could not always do what he wanted. If he had men under him, such a drama today would not have happened!
