Facing Qin Yueshi's sincere persuasion, Jing Zhengwu opened his mouth and seemed about to agree.
But in the end, he just showed a bitter smile and sighed: "You are all the same, you don't understand my father, you don't understand the 'Black Thorn' at all..."
Qin Yueshi's body stagnates and she says dejectedly: "Are you still determined to leave?"
"Yes, and if we don't leave, it will be too late." Jing Zhengwu pushed Qin Yueshi away, pushed her hair that fell to her face behind her ears, and said, "When I heard the news that my brother had obtained a permanent seat in the morning, I
You must leave, and it’s too late to leave now. If you continue to pester me, you will only kill me.”
Qin Yueshi shook her head: "With your personality, if you get the news in the morning, you should leave in the morning. Why haven't you left now at noon?"
"Material mobilization takes time..."
"Don't lie to me. You have been with me these days. I was still wondering why you specially arranged a ship at the port to bring in a large amount of supplies and store them in the warehouse. You have already prepared them and can leave at any time."
"So," Qin Yueshi pressed her hands on Jing Zhengwu's face, forcing him to look at her: "Are you waiting for me? Are you hesitating? Are you thinking about taking me away, but you also know that this time
The separation may last a lifetime, but you don’t want to leave without even seeing each other for the last time, so you procrastinate until I come over, right?"
"Don't pretend to be cunning and passionate conspirators. We are just two impulsive and emotional lovers in our twenties. I want to go with you because I like you, and you wait until now because you like me!"
Jing Zhengwu pushed her hand away and shook his head: "In the past, because I was going to marry you sooner or later, I didn't want to break up with you, so I never said anything... But you are really a very narcissistic person."
"You seem to regard my departure this time as a trip? Don't look at the detailed plan I said. In fact, I am fleeing this time. I have to go to Skati and start from scratch. Maybe I will die in a foreign land."
"If there is a choice, who is willing to leave the well? Who is willing to start over? To be honest, I don't think highly of myself either. If I can make it through and establish myself in Skati, it will be God's blessing. If I spend my time in Skati
The rest of my life is an ordinary fate."
"It doesn't really matter to me that you, a proud third lady of the Qin family, are willing to come with me." Jing Zhengwu glanced at Qin Yueshi's whole body: "I was willing to enter into a marriage contract with you back then. In addition to wanting to form an alliance with the Qin family,
I also like your body. If it were you, you would definitely be able to help me give birth to some chubby sons, but don’t regret it when the time comes—"
"regret?"
What Jing Zhengwu just said made Qin Yueshi feel no emotion at all. It wasn't until he said the word 'regret' that Qin Yueshi suddenly raised her brows, folded her hands and stared at him:
"Jing Zhengwu, don't underestimate the woman you like."
Jing Zhengwu's breath was stagnant, and the words he had prepared in his stomach were stuck in his throat. Looking at Qin Yueshi's expression, he couldn't say anything at all.
Finally, he sighed deeply: "You are really a very narcissistic girl."
"But that's what I like about you."
Jing Zhengwu sat helplessly on the ground. Qin Yueshi, regardless of the dirt on the ground, happily sat next to him and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"
Jing Zhengwu: "If I were alone, I would definitely leave, but now that you, a rich woman, are shamelessly clinging to me, let's see if the two of us have the capital to stay."
"Swear, you can scold me," Qin Yueshi was not angry at all: "When the evening comes, I will see whose turn it is to beg for mercy."
Jing Zhengwu twitched the corner of his mouth, ignored these harsh words, and asked: "How many assets can you use?"
"My jewelry, plus the few stores I manage, roughly amounts to this amount."
"Can you use them all for me?"
"I can advise you to give you all the land deeds first if necessary."
The head of the Qin family wanted to beat him up after hearing this.
Jing Zhengwu thought for a while and shook his head: "Not enough."
"Where's your mother's side?"
"She actually doesn't have much personal assets. Except for what her father gave her, half of her assets belong to the Tai family. They just put their name on her head. She can't decide those assets on her own."
Qin Yueshi was a little strange: "Why do you want so much money? Your own treasury, your mother, plus me, this is already a lot of money, right? What on earth do you want to do?"
"Because I need the protection of the Silver Blood Society." Jing Zhengwu said seriously: "If I just want to be a useless person, I don't need you at all. My mother's family alone is enough to protect me, but if I still want to make a comeback
, you must travel abroad to build connections.”
Qin Yueshi thought of a plan to develop a stay-at-home husband: "Then you just need to stay at home..."
"Only names and weapons, don't rely on others." Jing Zhengwu shook his head: "If I don't show up for a long time, the Jing family members will take refuge in my elder brother and third brother. By then, everything will be over. How can we make a comeback? I must prove that,
Even if I leave the Jing family, I can still live a good life, or even better, then the Jing family will be wavering, and I will have the opportunity to take over the Jing family."
"The best thing is that after leaving the Jing family, I can join the Silver Blood Society on my own!"
"As long as you get a permanent seat in the Silver Blood Society, even the lowest seat of eighty-eight or eighty-seven, you can get the protection of the Silver Blood Society! No matter how crazy my brother is, he can't attack me openly!"
"As you said, Yueshi, my brother's interests are different from those of the Jing family. As time goes by, everyone will inevitably betray their relatives and become angry. If I can prosper in the Silver Blood Society at this time, the Jing family will
They will support me unequivocally and support my return to the Jing family!"
"This is the upright royal route, and it is also the most promising way to regain the Jing family!"
Jing Zhengwu pressed his temples and sighed: "Just wanting to join the Silver Blood Association, even if it squeezes out the eighty-eighth ranked Chamber of Commerce, it will require a large amount of funds..."
Seeing Jing Zhengwu's troubled look, Qin Yueshi was also very anxious. She lowered her head and thought, "Maybe I can persuade my father and eldest brother... eldest brother, yes, eldest brother!"
Jing Zhengwu saw Qin Yueshi suddenly untying her necklace in surprise, and asked strangely: "What's wrong?"
"My eldest brother gave this to me a week ago." Qin Yueshi raised the pendant in his hand: "He said that the situation in Xuanzhu County was chaotic recently, and he divided the Qin family's working capital into two parts and hid them outside the county.
The treasure map is in this pendant!"
"Although I don't know how much money there is, it's enough for you to squeeze into the Silver Blood Club!"
The head of the Qin family wanted to beat himself to death after hearing this.
"Now that I think about it, brother may have thought of your plight, so he gave the map to me." Qin Yueshi handed the pendant to Jing Zhengwu: "Take it."
Jing Zhengwu did not give in pretentiously. When he took the pendant, he sighed: "I thought my eldest brother had given up on me..."
Qin Yueshi raised her head and said proudly: "How is it possible? I am his cutest sister. You are the man who is his cutest sister. Remember to thank me!"
"Yes, yes, Miss Qin is so kind and generous. I will thank you for my whole life..."
Jing Zhengwu looked at the pendant carefully and found that it was just an ordinary copper ornament on the outside, embellished with a small ruby, but the pendant was quite thick, as if there was something hidden inside.
After thinking for a moment, he used his mental power to guide the light, inserted it into the cracks of the pendant and fiddled with it. He quickly found the mechanism and flicked it hard——
Snapped.
Gray-pink mist spurted out and hit Jing Zhengwu and Qin Yueshi in the face. The two were slightly startled, then their expressions changed drastically and they covered their noses.
But it's too late.
A powerful feeling of fatigue and dizziness attacked Jing Zhengwu's pituitary gland. He turned sideways and fell to the ground, his whole body limp and unable to exert any strength.
He saw Qin Yueshi also lying weakly on the ground, but now she was crying like a river, her face was full of sorrow, her eyes were full of guilt and regret, and she was looking at Jing Zhengwu with tearful eyes.
Jing Zhengwu mustered up some strength and uttered a few syllables: "It's nothing."
"Don't hate...your elder brother..."
"This is...fate."
Qin Yueshi cried so hard that she kept shaking her head, struggling to move her arm over and reaching out to Jing Zhengwu.
Jing Zhengwu smiled bitterly and tried to move his arm. However, the arm that usually moved his fingers like an arm seemed to be extremely heavy and difficult to move.
At this time, he calmed down and could accept his next fate with peace of mind.
The only thing he was worried about now was the woman in front of him who made him hesitate, made him fall into the trap, and completely lost his last chance.
He used to laugh at Jing Zhengtang, a stupid brother who was seduced by women, but unexpectedly he himself became the stupid person he hated before.
Perhaps, this is the tradition of their Jing family, father, me, third brother... Thinking of this, Jing Zhengwu suddenly had a glimmer of understanding.
If you think about it carefully, all the changes in your brother happened after he met Qinglan.
The moods of both parties seemed to be transmitted to each other through body temperature and eyes. Under Jing Zhengwu's calm gaze, Qin Yueshi slowly calmed down, but still kept moving her body, and finally grabbed Jing Zhengwu's hand.
At this moment, there was a loud bang and the warehouse door was blasted open from the outside.
Following a few heavy footsteps, an old voice sounded above them: "Hey? Are you...poisoned? Well, there is a smell of almonds in the air...It turns out that the master has other plans."
"Hey, you go find a woman outside and send Miss Qin back. Our Jing family is very polite, so don't be rude."
Qin Yueshi looked over and found that an old swordsman came in with several Jing family guards.
At this time, Jing Zhengwu also regained some energy and tried his best to ask: "My... subordinates..."
"Your men are all loyal." The old swordsman said calmly, "Go and help the second young master up."
Qin Yueshi used all her strength to hold Jing Zhengwu's hand, but her strength was too weak. The two guards helped Jing Zhengwu up, and their clasped hands separated.
The moment the fingertips separated, Qin Yueshi suddenly remembered a sentence she had read in Youth Daily:
"Everyone has the ability to predict. When you say a word to someone, look at each other, shake hands once, and give a hug, you will clearly realize that for the rest of your life, this is
The last memory he gave you."
When an aunt came in to help Qin Yueshi up, she suddenly coughed a few times and asked with all her strength, "Why?"
The old swordsman who was about to leave with Jing Zhengwu turned his head, glanced at Qin Yueshi, thought for a while and said: "What did you say, sir... Well, Jing Zhengwu embezzled family goods and merchant ships and tried to transfer property. We were ordered to arrest him.
He goes back to punish."
"This is the order from the head of the family, Jing Qingfu."
