Chapter 372 - An Aggrieved Prude Who Seemed Pitiful



Chapter 372 An Aggrieved Prude Who Seemed Pitiful

Qin Wanru didn’t expect she would meet Qi’s brothers at the evening banquet.

It was quite surprising to see these two brothers attend the family feast of Qin’s Mansion.

When they were still in Jiangzhou, Qi Tianyu would come to Qin’s Mansion and drink with Qin Huaiyong after having dinner in Qi’s Mansion.

However, Qi Tianyu was dating Qin Yuru at that time. Although these two families didn’t discuss their engagement directly, they had made a decision. But what now? Glancing at Qin Yuru who sat beside, Qin Wanru sat down slowly beside Shui Ruolan with her eyes darkening.

Madam Dowager took the middle seat with Shui Ruolan and Qin Huaiyong sitting on her both sides.

Qin Wanru happened to sit between Qin Yuru and Shui Ruolan while there was space between them.

Qi Tianyu sat beside Qin Huaiyong while Qi Baiyu was near his brother. Then with Qin Yuru was next to Qi Baiyu, then a circle was made.

Since Qi Baiyu had arrived in the capital city, he never met Qin Wanru. When he saw her, he winked at her. Qin Wanru smiled slightly. Qi Baiyu who looked very fair before now looked tanned and healthy. Nobody knew what he was busy for.

Qi Tianyu also smiled at Qin Wanru politely. He seemed to be much more mature than he was in Jiangzhou.

What now?

Qin Wanru sat down. Glancing at Qin Yuru sitting next to her, she found out Qin Yuru who freshened up looked quiet and a little bit shy, completely different from her crazy look before.

Qin Wanru didn’t feel surprised to see Qin Yuru attend the dinner for Qin Huaiyong only had one birth daughter, which made him unable to punish her hard. Even though she had made such a serious mistake, Qin Huaiyong would only pretend to ignore it and just let her apologize to Shui Ruolan and Qin Wanru, seeming that she just misunderstood them and made a very small mistake. Even though there was something wrong, it was Madam Di herself who caused them and was self-inflicted.

It was only because Qin Yuru misunderstood? The cruel and heartless Qin Yuru who even intended to kill her own mother just misunderstood? A trace of sarcasm flashed upon Qin Wanru’s eyes!

Fortunately, she didn’t try to beat Qin Yuru now for Qin Yuru just was a pawn which would drag Duke Yong’s Mansion to the hell. If she now was beaten, then she would be useless. Qin Wanru didn’t want to push her to the edge now.

“First Lady Qin, may I exchange seats with you?” Qi Baiyu smiled at Qin Yuru, pointing at their seats next to each other.

If Qin Yuru agreed, then it would be Qi Tianyu who sat next to Qin Yuru.

“But…” Qin Yuru raised her red face on which her makeup was perfect and exquisite, making her look decent and mild. She was an outstanding beauty. Now she looked quite pitiful and aggrieved with her red eyes when she hesitated to say something.

Although she looked hesitated, she tried to stand up with her hand holding the table and it seemed that she was ready to exchange their seats.

“Baiyu! Mind your manner!” shouted Qi Tianyu.

Looking at Qi Tianyu pitifully, Qi Baiyu answered reluctantly, “Brother!”

Half rising, Qin Yuru stared at Qi Tianyu stiffly and embarrassedly with tears welling in her eyes.

“Please sit down, First Lady Qin. Sorry for Baiyu’s immature and his balderdash. We are not in Jiangzhou now and we all have grown up. Even Second Lady Qin doesn’t look like a little kid anymore!” Qi Tianyu smiled at Qin Yuru gently with his words sounding reserved and polite.

It seemed that nothing had happened between Qin Yuru and Qi Tianyu. Even though they hugged together behind the rockery secretly, he seemed to not care about that anymore and everything had passed. The past was the past. It was decisive and manful for him to cut off their relationship, leaving no trace of their past affairs.

He didn’t mention how Qin Yuru made him embarrassed and lose face in Jiangzhou by turning him down. He looked quite generous.

Hearing his words, Qin Huaiyong kept nodding, thinking that Qi Tianyu was a real gentleman whom he chose. It was good for him to think in this way. With Qi Tianyu’s help, the deep friendship between Magistrate Qi and he would not be ruin because of these private affairs.

Qin Yuru sat down and looked at Qi Tianyu mildly with her beautiful eyes full of love and affection. During the dinner, she sometimes fell her gaze on Qi Tianyu and put her attention on him even though he didn’t respond to her.

Qin Wanru withdrew her look in an expressionless way while a trace of doubt emerged in her mind. Weird!

Although it seemed Qi Tianyu didn’t care and he even forgave Qin Yuru generously, Qin Huaiyong should not invite him and make them look like a family! Didn’t Qin Huaiyong know that Di Yan might doubt? Some rumors about the affairs between Qin Yuru and Qi Tianyu once spread. It was impossible for Di Yan to ignore this!

Qin Huaiyong would not do things like this. He would not want them talked about by others.

However, he did. In addition, he seemed to take it for granted and was not afraid that others might ask about this.

The relationship between Qi Tianyu and Qin Yuru was apparently severed but actually connected but they just pretended to be a prude. Who was the target of their performance?

Feeling strange, she glanced at Qi Baiyu and saw him wink at her again. Qin Wanru smiled.

Qi Baiyu still looked like a child. Qin Wanru had grown fast recently and she was almost as tall as Qi Baiyu.

Everyone was quiet when having dinner, except Qi Baiyu who always intended to talk to Qin Wanru. However, a silence hung in the room so he couldn’t say anything. He was so upset that he kept scratching his head and looking at Qin Wanru while he could do nothing but to stare at her for there sat Qin Yuru beside him.

Realizing that Qi Baiyu wasn’t having dinner obediently, Qi Tianyu raised his head and glared at Qi Baiyu. Then he turned around, smiled regretfully at Qin Wanru and then lowered his head politely to have dinner again. Qin Yuru hurried to raise her head to see Qi Tianyu as soon as he lowered his head but only to miss him again. She suddenly felt sad and lowered her head with tears in her eyes.

She looked really sad.

Other people seemed to not notice a drama was playing among these kids and only focused on their dinner. When all people finished, servants began to clean up.

They then took a rest and drank tea.

Qi Baiyu moved quickly this time and sat beside Qin Wanru directly, “Guess what I have been busy for these days!”

“What?” asked Qin Wanru in surprise. Seeing his restless look, she knew he had a good life recently.

“I am learning Kung Fu from a general!” answered Qi Baiyu excitedly with pride.

“Kung Fu?”

“Yes! Come and see if I grow taller than before and if I look healthier!” said Qi Baiyu proudly while he even tried to show his height with his hands.

“Well, you almost catch up with me!” Blinking her shinning eyes, Qin Wanru chuckled.

Her words quickly made Qi Baiyu upset. He snorted and looked Qin Wanru up and down, and said, “You are shorter than me.”

“But I am going to take the national examination for Kung Fu and be the best specialist. I don’t want to read anymore!” After saying this, Qi Baiyu became happy again.

In her last life, Qi Baiyu didn’t take the examination but chose his official career.

“Who do you learn from?” Qin Wanru asked directly. “Or is that man the right person Qi Baiyu had met in her last life?”

“I can’t tell you until I succeed!” answered Qi Baiyu proudly.

Feeling speechless, Qin Wanru tried to mention him to be careful. However, she didn’t know clear about Qi Baiyu’s story in her last life and had no idea about how he gave up the military exam and chose the official career. If he took a shortcut to his career without attending the national exam, he must get promoted by someone because of his achievement. She didn’t know what and how to mention him.

“I heard that lanterns in the capital city are extraordinarily beautiful. Where should we go first when we start?” Rolling his eyes, Qi Baiyu lowered his voice and asked.

“Lanterns?” Qin Wanru was stunned.

“You don’t know that? Today General Qin invited us to watch lanterns in the evening with you! It must be crowded and funny on Lunar New Year’s Eve! It must be much interesting than in Jiangzhou! Moreover, it is said that there would not only be lanterns show!” Qi Baiyu said feverishly.

Did Qin Huaiyong intend to let Qi’s Brothers accompany Qin Yuru and her?

Qin Wanru didn’t expect this. Turning to see Qin Huaiyong, Qin Wanru found that he was talking to Shui Ruolan in a low voice. They seemed good. When Qin Huaiyong looked at Shui Ruolan, he looked gentle and mild. Madam Dowager talked with them sometimes.

If there had not been Madam Di’s matter, they would have looked like a happy family.

“Well, it isn’t lanterns exactly because Lantern Festival is on the fifteenth day of the first month. It is pretty lively today! There are many activities such as guessing riddles and song and dance shows! It would be very bustling! Uncle wants Baiyu and me to accompany you in case there might be some accidents!”

Qi Tianyu explained gently beside.

Qin Wanru now discovered that Qi Tianyu sat beside Qi Baiyu while Qin Yuru who was next to Qi Baiyu looked very shy and listened to their talk quietly, seeming like a young new married woman with her handkerchief in hands.

She looked, weird, didn’t she?

With her long and curled eyelashes flickering, Qin Wanru smiled and nodded. When she tried to say something, Qin Huaiyong’s voice came up. “Be careful when you leave together! Get there earlier and come back soon! Don’t be too late!”

“Don’t worry, uncle. I promise you I would bring them back safely!” Standing up, Qi Tianyu replied.

Shui Ruolan reached out and held Qin Wanru’s hand and said worriedly, “If it is too crowded, then come back soon! Follow your Big Sister and two Masters Qi. Don’t get lost. You are not familiar with the city so you must be careful!”

Qin Wanru knew it was inconvenient for Shui Ruolan to go out because of her unborn baby so she could understand why Shui Ruolan didn’t go with her. She nodded and answered, “Don’t worry, mother. I know it!”

Since the itinerary had been made before and now it was getting late, Madam Dowager then asked them to play outside earlier for two Masters Qi just arrived at the capital city.

Since Shui Ruolan couldn’t leave and Madam Dowager felt tired, Qin Huaiyong then stayed with them.

Qin Wanru and others just let one servant follow them. They left through the front gate. This time they didn’t call a carriage for the main street was not far from here. So this evening their tour was play-oriented!

As soon as they left the mansion, Qi Baiyu quickly became energetic and lively! He kept talking with his hand pointing at all things he saw. He seemed to be familiar with the capital city.

As he mainly talked to Qin Wanru, they quickly went ahead, leaving Qin Yuru and Qi Tianyu behind.

“Brother Tianyu!” Finding Qin Wanru and Qi Baiyu didn’t notice them, Qin Yuru called Qi Tianyu softly and gradually stopped…
