----------------------
"Miss, I'm Qin Xue. The other side has already been taken care of for you. Master sent me over to attend to you. Is there anything you'd like to bring along? Just give the order, miss."
An eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl with bright eyes and white teeth, very beautiful, with a warm and gentle gaze, looking at Qin Han Yue's mother and son with a very sincere expression.
Qin Han Yue took a glance at the girl, as the former little princess of the Qin family, she was naturally aware that maids with such beauty were specially cultivated by the Qin family for future use. Now her father could actually spare one to serve herself... although it might only be temporary, this was enough to prove how much Qin Hong Yuan valued their mother-son duo.
Qin Han Yue suddenly felt a bit ridiculous, when was it that the man she most admired truly cared about her and her mother? If he really cared, why did he ignore them for thirteen years? If he really cared, why did he let her and her mother suffer so much hardship? If he really cared, why did it take until today for him to suddenly come to his senses?
Qin Han Yue didn't actually resent her father in her heart, but she was extremely worried about Qin Hong Yuan's temperament! If there wasn't any benefit to be gained, he would absolutely not care about his own wife and child! In the past when Qin Hong Yuan drove her to live with the servants of the Qin family and never asked after them again, it could already be considered a great kindness, but also carried some pressure.
So, Qin Han Yue herself didn't mind doing some things for her father, as long as he wouldn't send her away. What she was really worried about was her son, Qin Li! Qin Han Yue clearly remembered the look in her father's eyes when he left, and that praising sentence, which made her think deeply!
Qin Han Yue was deep in thought, while Qin Xue stood naturally with her hands down by her sides in the room, a faint smile on her face, without any impatience. It could be seen that she was a well-educated girl with high quality!
Qin Li thought to himself: People like this should know what to say and what not to say. At this time, he didn't avoid Qin Xue, but directly asked Qin Han Yue: "Mother, are you planning to leave the Qin family now?"
Qin Han Yue was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head: "No, at least not now."
Qin Li smiled: "What is Mother hesitating about? Within the sphere of influence of the Qin family, does Mother have the ability to refuse the arrangement made by the head of the household?"
Qin Xue suddenly lifted her head and quickly glanced at Qin Li, who had made a big show today. To Qin Xue, killing someone was nothing remarkable, just the anger of a petty person. So, Qin Xue hadn't taken Qin Li seriously before, despite this underestimation having nothing to do with Qin Li's identity.
When Qin Li stood in front of her and expressed this view, Qin Xue was finally moved a little. Although it wasn't particularly profound, coming from the mouth of a thirteen-year-old child... thinking again about the two people Qin Li had killed today, as well as the words her father, Qin Hongyuan, had instructed her with before she came, there seemed to be a few more points of enlightenment in Qin Xue's eyes.
"Qin Xue, from today on, you are Qin Li's personal maid! He is your young master, and his orders, you must obey, no matter what. Do you understand?" Qin Hongyuan said this while shooting a cold glare at Qin Xue's eyes, emphasizing each word: "Also, regarding his matters, you don't need to report back to anyone, including me! Even if he tells you to come and assassinate me, the master of this house, you don't need to warn me!"
Qin Xue was taken aback, she was no longer a child and naturally understood what the master meant by "anything", but did she have a choice? From a young age, she knew her fate, yet she was still stunned by Qin Hongyuan's resolute tone, wondering in her heart what aspect of Qin Li had made the master willing to spend such capital.
Now that Qin Li has said this, Qin Xue somewhat understands. In any case, this Qin Li is fundamentally different from the incompetent little wild species that people used to talk about!
In this way, Qin Li and her son finally moved into Zi Chen Garden.
When Qin Han Yue stepped into the yard again after thirteen years, tears couldn't help but flow down her face. This strong woman, who had endured hardships and raised a child alone for thirteen years, had never shed a tear; when all relatives and friends abandoned her, avoiding her like a snake's venom, she didn't cry; when she suffered those vicious taunts and cold stares, she still didn't cry.
But today, Qin Han Yue didn't know how many tears she had shed. She felt very ashamed of herself, especially in front of her son. The tears seemed to have opened the floodgates and couldn't be stopped. In the end, Qin Han Yue gave up trying to hold them back, letting them flow as long as they wanted.
Qin Li didn't say much more. After familiarizing himself with the environment of Zichen Garden, he locked himself in his room and instructed Qin Xue not to disturb him.
This room is simply heaven and earth compared to where I lived before!
Everything in the room, from large furniture to small decorations, including the bedding on the bed, is extremely luxurious but not showy, revealing the profound heritage of a great family.
Qin Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It seems that, no matter which world it is, the things that rich people enjoy are not something that poor people can imagine.
On the dark-colored large desk in the room, the pen holder on it was identified by Qin Li, who had learned to identify antiques from the old Taoist priest for a few days, as an antique with great value.
Qin Li tidied up his emotions, let out a sigh, slowly shook his head, then sat cross-legged on the bed, feeling the softness and comfort, Qin Li's heart was clear.
It is said that no pay without work, but for Qin Li and her son, these things are simply like a dream. If it is said that Qin Hongyuan has no intention, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
Even if Qin Hongyuan really wanted to do something, did he have the ability to resist now? Although he had opened up Ren Du Er Mai, and could also display a lot of his previous life's skills, he hadn't seen the true strongman of this world, Qin Li. Qin Yong was able to pose some threat to him, but Qin Yong was just a minor character after all.
So, the top priority is not to figure out why Qin Hongyuan did this, but... to improve one's own strength!
Qin Li made a decision in his heart and immediately began to run the Xiantian Purple Energy Technique. Unexpectedly, the technique created by his master himself was really so miraculous, unfortunately, his master didn't get to see it with his own eyes.
Qin Li ran the Xiantian Purple Qi Technique in his meridians, warming and nourishing them bit by bit, while also strengthening his soul. Qin Li had discovered that the Xiantian Purple Qi Technique could make his spirit even more abundant!
As Qin Li entered a state of meditation, a fierce quarrel broke out in Qin Han Yue's room next door.
