Xu Wenqu was sitting in the car with the head of the Tang family. He only closed his eyelashes and listened without interrupting. When he accidentally looked away, he saw Qi Jing's expression.
Qi Jing's expression had a feeling that... something was about to happen and he was waiting leisurely. Xu Wenqu raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Tang Shiyue.
Sure enough, Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Cousin, are you making me laugh?"
The old patriarch choked.
Tang Shiyue said calmly: "Fushou wine, Tang family fruit wine, is placed here. It is the only one in the world. It is inevitable that people will covet it. You are hiding it, hiding it, how can others
Don’t you know where this wine comes from? Buying grain and fruits by the bucketful, and pulling out the wine jar by jar, is this something that can be hidden? It can be hidden for a day or two, and it can be hidden for a month or two.
Moon?"
Everyone was suddenly speechless.
Tang Shiyue continued: "In the face of huge interests, being low-key and honest is the most useless thing. Counting on the compassion of others, thinking that the other party will come to the door, kneel down, cry, and beg, and the problem can be solved.
, this idea is too naive.”
"If nothing else, let me ask you, if you hunt a wild boar and meet a stranger who says he is poor and begs you to give it to him in tears...will you let him? This is true for a wild boar, let alone a wine shop.
?So, the safest way is to expose yourself in front of everyone and let everyone know that there is such a place. If something happens, someone will notice it."
"In this way, the other party must consider the risks after exposure and will not dare to act easily. This is relatively safer."
She only spoke to the clan leader and did not mention anyone else. However, the others were a little embarrassed and felt that her face hurt a bit.
Fourth Uncle Tang smoothed things over: "What happened today was an accident, so don't think too much about it. Fortunately, there was no danger."
Madam Zhou couldn't help but said: "I still think, Yue'er, your marriage should be settled early. If it was settled early, wouldn't these things disappear?"
Tang Shiyue was very helpless: "Auntie, you still haven't understood what I said. In the face of huge interests, not everyone will be reasonable with you. If you stay honest and don't cause trouble, others won't mess with you.
This kind of thinking will not work."
"Let's just say that I am just a little village girl now, Yunying's unmarried young lady. What do you think of others' first thoughts when they think about what I have in my hands?"
Everyone is quiet.
Tang Shiyue said: "It's either marriage or acceptance. It's reasonable and legal. This is a 'soft' move. In any case, we will have time to react. And if I get engaged now, then no matter what the other party wants to do,
In this way, it is to plunder and seize the country by force, which is unreasonable and illegal, so what tactics will they use?"
Qi Jing said calmly: "A damaging move, or a killing move."
"Yes," Tang Shiyue was very satisfied with this compliment: "They will use damaging moves to ruin my reputation, or they will directly attack the man. That is a 'hard' move of killing and setting fire. We have no time to react. If something happens,
The thing is, it’s hard to recover after overturning the water, and it’s too late to regret it.”
Several people were silent.
Everything she said made sense and was so right that even the clan leader was speechless by what she said. What did she ask them to say?
Moreover, when she talks about marriage, she is calm, understanding, speaks calmly, and is well-founded... They have never realized so clearly at this moment that she is indeed the "Mr. Tang" and can indeed be the "Mr. Tang".
Compared with the awe of others, the old patriarch's mood was particularly complicated.
He couldn't even count how many years he hadn't been "taught" by someone like this. Even Chen Changyuan looked at him calmly, for fear that he would be unhappy, but in fact, he really didn't mean to be unhappy at all.
This little lady has a big personality, a broad vision, and sees things sharply. He really feels... convinced.
He glanced at Qi Jing involuntarily.
This is also a person he cannot see through.
He is young, but he always does things with a calm and unhurried energy, and he has a lot of troubles in his heart. He is the only one who can suppress Tang Shiyue, right?
Tang Shiyue returned home, and that night, she heard that Tang Shuizhi was back.
It was said that the Meng family didn't want her anymore and wouldn't let them in, so the whole family had no choice but to come back.
This is not surprising at all.
After all, Meng Xanyang had a big embarrassment in public this time, which would definitely not be tolerated by a young master who had a smooth life. And Tang Shuizhi was a living proof. How could he let her be upset?
However, Meng Xiyang is really not particular about his behavior. Anyone with a little bit of worldliness would not do this even if he took him home and tried to kill him.
It's not that she doesn't value human life, but that handling it this way is in line with the established rules of this society. If you take a concubine into the house, you can just let it go. What does this mean?
With such a person who has no inhibitions, it's really hard to guess what he will do next.
Tang Shiyue frowned.
Qi Jing said: "Don't think too much, I will handle it."
Tang Shiyue asked, "How to deal with it?"
Qi Jing said: "It is impossible to be surrounded by a monolithic group of people like this. You can just bribe anyone at will."
She thought for a while, but there was no good way: "Okay."
Qi Jing glanced at her and quickly looked away.
After a while, he coughed and looked at her again.
Tang Shiyue turned to look at him. He quickly turned away and said expressionlessly: "Ah Yue."
"Um?"
He said: "Actually, how about... we make an appointment to get married? If he wants to kill someone or set a fire, he can just come at me. I'm not afraid, I can deal with it."
"What are you ordering?" Tang Shiyue said arrogantly: "Who wants to marry you?"
He suddenly turned back: "You won't marry me?" His face darkened: "Then who are you going to marry?"
His eyes were very stern, the kind of fierce eyes that he would never give up until she gave him a satisfactory explanation.
Then she asked him calmly: "Am I an enemy spy?"
He frowned: "What?"
She came closer and looked him eye to eye: "I am not an enemy of the country, and this is not a national matter. Why are you so fierce?" She slapped him on the forehead, "I can't coax you.
ah?"
He was stunned for a moment. His anger dissipated instantly and he was at a loss.
Then he was silent for a long time and said softly: "How...how can I coax you?"
She said: "Praise me for my beauty."
He took a breath and said, "Ah Yue is so beautiful, with beautiful face and beautiful face, which will captivate the whole country."
Being good-looking really took advantage of her. Even though he spoke like he was endorsing her, he looked at her seriously with such beautiful eyes, which was a natural flirtation.
She couldn't help but smile.
Qi Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "You haven't answered my question yet."
With his strict character, he would not play ambiguous with others. Once he asked a question, he would definitely demand an answer.
Tang Shiyue answered him seriously: "I don't know yet. Ah Jing, we have been through thick and thin together. I like you very much, but I like you as a friend. I don't have the feeling of 'I won't marry you unless I'm married to you'
, so I won’t make hasty decisions.”
Qi Jing was stunned for a moment.
He looked at her intently, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it. After a long time, he suddenly stood up, turned around and walked away quickly without looking back. (To be continued)
