Chapter Twenty: Refusal Once More
The next morning, Qin Li got up early and pushed the door to go outside. He found that the sky was overcast with dark clouds, the air was damp and humid, carrying a faint scent of mud, as if it was going to rain. The surroundings of Zichen Garden were quiet and extremely still. The east part of the city belonged to the wealthy district of Huangsha City, and the area around Zichen Garden was where only super-rich people could live.
Qin Li took a deep breath, today he would bid farewell to this place, and afterwards, he probably wouldn't come back here again. Qin Li wasn't one who didn't like to enjoy life, it's just that he preferred to create things with his own hands!
Qin Han Yue's door was gently pushed open, she walked out and saw Qin Li, slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked: "Why get up so early today?"
Qin Li looked at his mother with dark circles under her eyes, knowing she hadn't slept well all night. He smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, it won't be long before I'll give you a garden ten times bigger and ten times more beautiful than this one!"
Qin Han Yue subconsciously thought Qin Li was referring to the dowry from the Shangguan family, and her heart felt a little sad. She slowly shook her head and said: "Son, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters, don't be too hard on yourself!"
Qin Li knew his mother had misunderstood him, but he didn't go to explain. For a man, doing is more important than saying.
At this time, Qin Xue walked over from behind with a sleepy look, saw Qin Li and his mother standing in the yard, was stunned for a moment, and then said somewhat embarrassedly: "I got up late, I'll go cook breakfast now..."
"Qin Xue." Qin Li called out to stop Qin Xue, looking at the bewildered expression on her delicate face. Qin Li smiled and said, "That's right, today, Mother and I are moving out of Zi Chen Garden..."
"I knew." Qin Xue looked at Qin Li, puzzled as to why her young master was telling her this so early in the morning.
"Ah, the place we're moving to is very poor, just like...just like the house we used to live in. Qin Xue, you're a good person, but my mother and I don't want to hold you back from your future, so..." Qin Li said with some embarrassment, thinking to himself that among the entire Qin family, only his mother Qin Han Yue and perhaps Qin Xue could make him look up to them, although she was raised by the Qin family, this girl was very kind and considerate, a good girl!
"Young master, you... what do you mean by this?"
Qin Xue's eyes suddenly turned red: "Is it that you think Qin Xue is not doing well enough? Or do you think Qin Xue is a burden, I can do many things myself, I can support myself, let me go with you... Is that okay?"
Qin Li was taken aback, he had seen countless girls who worshiped money, and in his previous life there was also a popular saying: It's better to cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle!
That sentence has been widely spread and is regarded as a famous saying by countless people. Qin Li, although somewhat disagreeing with it, had nothing to say about it. Pursuing beauty is everyone's right, even if they are wrong, others have no right to interfere.
But he had never seen Qin Xue like this before, giving up a good life and willing to suffer hardships.
Qin Li's mouth twitched slightly as he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Qin Xue, then asked, "Are you sure you're not talking nonsense right now?"
Qin Han Yue was amused by her son's actions and burst out laughing.
Qin Xue looked at Qin Li with a mixture of laughter and tears, saying softly: "Of course I wasn't talking nonsense!"
As she spoke, Qin Xue's voice was somewhat low and said: "From a very young age, I knew that my fate would either be given to another family, good luck, maybe become a concubine, encounter a jealous wife is unlucky, bad luck, may even be sent into the wind and dust, for the family to gather information, no matter what, it's not free. To be honest, when Master just said he was going to give me to Young Master, I was heartbroken too, feeling hopeless for this life, but then I found out that Young Master is a real man, responsible, and filial, Qin Xue can find such a master, it's Qin Xue's luck, so whether it's suffering or hardship, Qin Xue is willing to follow Young Master and Madam, wherever you go, I'll follow."
Qin Li was praised by Qin Xue until he scratched his head, thinking to himself, "How did I not discover that I have so many good points?"
At this time, Qin Han Yue pulled Qin Xue's hand and said softly: "Qin Xue, since you don't despise me and are willing to follow this lonely widow and orphan, I will never mistreat you. Sooner or later, you will be proud of today's choice."
……
"What? That little bastard, he's moved out with his mother?" Qin Feng's face was first filled with incredulity, then burst into loud laughter, gritting his teeth and saying: "Good, great! That little wild seed, afraid I wouldn't have the chance to kill him, actually delivered himself to my doorstep, perfect!"
Looking at his brother lying on the bed, seemingly out of his mind, Qin Hu sighed and shook his head, saying: "What's the point of killing? In a short period of time, you won't have the chance to deal with him. At least, in this Yellow Sand City, Grandfather will never allow you to touch a single hair on his head!"
"Hmph, I know, but I don't believe this kid will stay holed up in Yellow Sand City for his whole life! As soon as he dares to take a step out of Yellow Sand City, I'll make sure he can never come back!"
Qin Hu thought of Qin Xue's beautiful face and perfect figure, feeling a little hot in his heart, and continued to say: "Yes, get rid of that little bastard, if it wasn't for him, how could Grandpa send Qin Xue away!"
Qin Hu liked Qin Xue's things, many Qin family children knew that because they grew up together from a young age, practicing the Qin family's kung fu together and learning various knowledge. As the family's specially cultivated talent, the Qin family was willing to invest heavily. Letting Qin Xue and the others follow the legitimate children of the Qin family to study together was to enhance their sense of family honor, making them dedicate themselves to the family.
Qin Feng's injury was not too serious, and he would recover after resting for a while, without leaving any sequelae. However, the hatred in Qin Feng's heart towards Qin Li could burn half of the Huangsha City to ashes!
Lying in bed, the two Qin brothers began to study how to avenge Qin Licheng.
At this time, Qin Li had already taken his mother and Qin Xue away in two horse-drawn carriages, carrying all of their belongings, which were not many to begin with. Most of them were books, which, aside from her son, were probably the most important things to Qin Han Yue.
Before leaving, Qin Ze unexpectedly came to Zichen Garden and handed two books to Qin Li, saying expressionlessly: "The master of the house asked me to give these to you."
Qin Li took it with some confusion, the two books should have been around for a while. One of them had "Yi Yuan Xin Fa" written on it, and below that were two small characters that were somewhat blurry. Qin Li carefully distinguished them and only then saw that they read "High Level". The other book had "Dao Feng Zhang Fa" written on it, and below that was also marked with the words "High Level".
Qin Xue standing beside Qin Li exclaimed and said: "This is the highest level of Yuan power and combat technique of the Qin family, Master...".
Qin Li looked at Qin Ze with a hint of disdain in his eyes, smiled calmly and handed the book back to him. He then said: "Thank the master for me, but no reward without merit. Although I want to cultivate my combat skills, I will get them myself!"
Qin Ze's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he suddenly spoke out: "I know, I'll tell Master what you said!"
Watching Qin Ze leave, Qin Xue said with some resentment: "Young master, those are all good things! Why don't you want them? Those are what you deserve!"
Qin Li looked at Qin Xue with a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression: "It seems that you've also learned this, right? If I were to ask you, would you teach me?"
"Ah?" Qin Xue stared at Qin Li with a dumbfounded expression, her naive and lovely appearance was very cute.
Qin Li withdrew his smile and said calmly: "I won't learn any of the Qin family's skills! I believe that among the countless skills in this world, there will always be one that suits me."
Qin Xue nodded silently, although she was somewhat perplexed by Qin Li's repeated refusal of the kindness of the Qin family, but she understood that her choice, made after careful consideration, would not be wrong.
