"Tan'er, can you bear to see Qu Mansion decline like this?" Qu Jianglin avoided Qu Tan'er's question, but wanted to be moved by his feelings and reasoned with it. Unfortunately, the weight was too light, because Qu Tan'er
I don't have Qufu in my heart at all.
And with his rhetorical question, he obviously avoided Qu Tan'er's question and changed the topic.
Qu Tan'er could hear it.
She knew that Qu Jianglin was avoiding this topic.
Indeed, when he begged her, he naturally didn't want to talk about the past. Or was he regretting it now? Shouldn't he have been nicer to her, a useless chess piece? Suddenly, Qu Tan'er sighed softly.
, the corners of his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
"Dad, Er Niang, please sit down first. If you have anything to say, let's chat slowly." Qu Tan'er's eyes signaled Jing Xin to help the second lady sit down.
Jing Xin went to help the second lady, "Second lady, get up."
At this moment, the second lady saw that Qu Tan'er seemed to have softened her heart, so she quickly followed suit.
"Tan'er, have you promised to help your second sister?"
Qu Jianglin sat down with the second lady and kept silent nervously, waiting for Qu Tan'er's answer.
"It's okay for me to go and talk to the prince. As for whether the prince will plead with the emperor, it's hard to say. After all, dad has been in the officialdom for many years, and he should understand... What men are most afraid of is women's interference.
Things that should not be interfered with." Qu Tan'er glanced at them, thought for a while, and gradually turned to the topic.
It's just that when you ask for help, you have to give something, otherwise...
"Dad understands this, Tan'er, just do your best." Qu Jianglin breathed a sigh of relief.
"I will try my best, but..." Qu Tan'er just said this, which made Qu Jianglin and the second lady stunned. Their hearts that had just been relieved a little were lifted up again, worried that she would suddenly regret it and was still playing tricks.
They play?
"Tan'er, what is it?" The second lady couldn't help asking eagerly.
Qu Tan'er smiled lightly and said calmly: "Dad, there must be gains and losses. Let's negotiate a deal."
"trade?"
"Yes, deal. I can help you, but I want Qu Mansion's Calming Bead."
"Zhen, Zhenxin Pearl?" Qu Jianglin suddenly jumped up, staring at Qu Tan'er in disbelief, his old face twitching, and he couldn't answer for a while.
"That's right, I want your calming beads." Qu Tan'er chuckled and replied to him with certainty.
"Sir." The second lady looked at Qu Jianglin, waiting for his answer.
"I, I, I..." Qu Jianglin said three "I's" in a row, but never gave an answer.
"how?"
"Tan'er, I can't give you that thing." Qu Jianglin hesitated, as if he wanted to discuss it with her again, "How about... you change it to something else?"
"No, the rest doesn't interest me." Qu Tan'er chuckled and said, "Dad, I heard that the Jingxin Pearl is the heirloom of our Qu family. You have no children, who will you pass it on to in the future?
?Eldest sister? Or second sister? Then why not pass it to me directly now? After all, I am also a member of the Qu Mansion, right?"
"No, no!" Qu Jianglin still refused.
"Oh, forget it. If you don't agree, I can't force you. Jing Xin, send Mr. Qu and the second lady back home. I should also take a break. I'm a little tired after sitting for so long." Qu Tan'er is not in a hurry.
, stood up leisurely, as if about to walk towards the threshold.
