Qu Tingzhou walked lightly in front of Qiao Jinhuan, his eyes sparkling with tears.
The resentful look in her eyes, the look on her face as if she was about to give up, would make an uninformed person think that Qiao Jinhuan had done something shameful!
Qiao Jinhuan took a step back without changing her expression, "Is something wrong?"
"Jin Huan, your husband, he..."
Halfway through his words, Qu Tingzhou picked up a handkerchief and pressed it against his eyes.
That's it?
That’s it???
Qiao Jinhuan raised her eyebrows and asked urgently, "What happened to my husband? But what happened?"
Qu Tingzhou's eyes twitched slightly.
Why did this conversation develop completely differently from what he thought?
"No, your husband is fine, but..."
"It's fine, husband."
Qiao Jinhuan looked very relieved and nodded.
Qu Tingzhou:……
Why don't you ask me what's behind "but"?
Why don't you play by the rules?
Qu Tingzhou's eyes became more and more resentful, "Jin Huan, your husband is looking for a wife for me. He said it was your wish. You wouldn't do this to me, right?"
"Ah, this is what I mean."
Qiao Jinhuan agreed calmly, "There have been a lot of rumors outside recently, so it's not a big deal that you have been living in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I am also thinking about your reputation."
"I don't believe it."
Qu Tingzhou took a step back as if he had been hit hard, "Jin Huan, you have said since you were a child that you would always take care of me. But now you want to drive me away because of your husband?"
"Did...did I say a few more words before that made your husband angry with me?"
"Jin Huan, I really don't mean anything else. I never wanted to ruin the relationship between you and your wife. I'm just worried about you!"
"I'm curious, why are you worried about my wife?"
Liang Xi's angry voice came from the corridor.
Looking up, he was walking over angrily with his boy, as if he was here to catch someone raped.
When he came to the front, Liang Xi pulled Qiao Jinhuan to his side and blocked him behind him, "Qu Qingren, I advise you to stop in moderation. Aren't my wives enough to take care of you?"
Qu Tingzhou's lips trembled slightly, and he looked at Qiao Jinhuan with tears in his eyes, "Jinhuan, that's not what I meant. It's just that you clearly said you wouldn't let me leave."
"But because, because of your husband, you have to..."
"I am a widower with no wealth, and I am rejected by my family because I resisted the family's arrangement of marrying another man. What if I leave the Prime Minister's Mansion? What should I do if I go out? Besides, I have lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion for more than a month, who would dare to marry me?
"
"Mr. Qiao Zhengfu, what you are doing is killing me!"
Liang Xi's face gradually darkened amidst Qu Tingzhou's cries.
OK.
You’ve seen Tu Qiong Dagger, right?
When I first came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to stay, I'm afraid I just wanted to stay there and never leave!
"I never said I wouldn't let you leave."
Qiao Jinhuan took Liang Xi's hand that was gradually tightening and explained in a deep voice.
She really didn't say that.
The original owner never said anything.
At most, the original owner just gave a little hint.
Qu Tingzhou's voice stopped crying.
Liang Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It's not because of Xiaoxi that I want you to marry another person. It's because you really should marry another person. And although you have lived in my house for some time, we have not done anything beyond our reach, and this will not hinder you.
Those who are looking for a wife, don’t worry.”
Qiao Jinhuan honestly "comforted" Qu Tingzhou.
But every word she said was like stabbing a knife into Qu Tingzhou's heart.
Is it because there is no overstep?
A glimmer of light flashed in Qu Tingzhou's lowered eyes.
In the past, Qiao Jinhuan would always come to him and occasionally make moves. He thought of playing hard to get, so he didn't let her succeed.
As a result, it has gone too far now?
Why!
If I had known earlier, I should have let her take advantage!
Qu Tingzhou felt regretful in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel some regret on his face.
Qiao Jinhuan turned a blind eye to this and continued to explain: "As for your family, they have not abandoned you. I remember that you just sent a letter to your family a few days ago and asked me to borrow some money to send it back."
"Pfft...cough~"
Liang Xi pursed her lips, but couldn't hold it back anymore, so she quickly covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed twice to prevent herself from laughing too loudly and ruining her image.
Qu Tingzhou really shot himself in the foot.
Tell this lie in front of your wife and you will see if she believes it or not.
On the side, Qu Tingzhou's expression was completely rigid.
He never expected that Qiao Jinhuan would expose his words in public.
Is there something wrong with her brain?
At this time, shouldn't you feel that you are very pitiful and that you are forced into a desperate situation, so shouldn't you help yourself?
Qu Tingzhou gritted his teeth slightly.
He glanced at Liang Xi who was gloating about his misfortune, and his embarrassment instantly turned into anger, "Jin Huan! I know that you only want to help your husband, but your husband never wants to think about you!"
Hearing this, the smile on Liang Xi's face instantly fell.
"What do you mean by this? What do you mean I don't think about my wife? Why don't I think about my wife?"
Liang Xi asked sharply.
Qu Tingzhou shook his head and patted her head scornfully, "Jin Huan, you and your husband have been married for three years, right? Your husband hasn't had any children yet."
"He has not allowed you to have a servant, and he is not even willing to tolerate me just staying in the Prime Minister's house for a few more days. This shows that he is jealous. For this reason alone, he is not worthy of your kindness."
"Also, there are three kinds of unfilial piety, the worst is not having an heir! If you are a proper husband, you can't have children yourself, so why don't you find some servants for you? Could it be that he wants to kill off your Qiao family bloodline?"
It should be said or not, Qu Tingzhou's words really hit Liang Xi's heart.
It has been three years since I got married and I have never been happy.
In the past, he and his wife played the harp and played harmoniously. If the wife didn't push her, he wouldn't be in a hurry, thinking that he could delay it as long as it lasted.
Now that Qu Tingzhou pointed this out, Liang Xi's face turned pale.
He didn't even dare to look back at Qiao Jinhuan.
Upon seeing this, Qu Tingzhou's eyes showed a trace of pride, and then quickly changed to a worried look, "Mr. Qiao Zhengfu, don't blame me for speaking harshly. I did it for Jin Huan's good. If we weren't close, I wouldn't have offended you by saying this."
What about human words?"
Liang Xi pursed her lips, her dark eyes eager to penetrate Qu Tingzhou directly.
Suddenly, a hand fell on his head and rubbed it twice gently.
"It doesn't matter."
Qiao Jinhuan chuckled lightly, "Son, it depends on fate. If you get it, I will be lucky, but if you don't get it, I will die. Don't worry too much."
Wha, what?
Liang Xi and Qu Tingzhou both raised their eyes to look at Qiao Jinhuan.
But Qiao Jinhuan just looked at Liang Xi with a smile on her face and indulgently, "It's enough for me to have a husband."
"Master Wife!"
Liang Xi was so moved that she stepped forward and hugged Qiao Jinhuan.
It turns out that in the eyes of his wife, he is more important than his children!
