Chapters 90 - 90
In the courtyard, Old Master Ouyang was carefully pruning the plants, his expression relaxed, as if he did not notice Ou Yang Qing who was kneeling on a pebble.
After using a pair of scissors to cut off a branch, Old Master turned around and said calmly: "Do you know where you went wrong?"
Ou Yang Qing smiled indifferently, but he did not answer and continued to kneel there.
Seeing his stubborn look, Old Master frowned. "You are at fault for being of the same race!"
After Ou Yang Qing heard this, he slowly raised his head and said with some confusion: "Isn't this something that Grandpa allowed you to do?"
"You!" Old Master narrowed his eyes and sized him up, his usually smiling eyes revealing a little sternness and displeasure.
Ou Yang Qing's mouth curved into a mocking smile, and continued to lower his head without a word.
Old Master looked at his hair and pondered for a long time. Finally, he sighed, "I know you resent me for not seeking justice for your parents, and not punishing those who committed evil deeds. But you have to know, this entire Ouyang Family must have someone to inherit it."
Ou Yang Qing was extremely furious when he heard that, and his tone became even colder: "So my parents' lives are not worth mentioning compared to the Ouyang Family's inheritance? Even if we know who the culprit is, we can only let them have a carefree time? "
"I didn't mean that!" Old Master frowned.
"Then what do you mean?" Ou Yang Qing looked at him in puzzlement and laughed sarcastically: "You obviously mean that!"
"Death cannot be revived. When your parents died that year, the entire Ouyang Family was extremely hurt. However, so many years have passed since then. It's time to let this go." The Old Master advised.
"Impossible." Ou Yang Qing laughed coldly: "Unless the criminals can be punished, I will definitely not let this matter rest."
"You shouldn't be so stubborn!" Old Master's tone was ice-cold and filled with threat.
Ou Yang Qing slowly stood up, and raised her head with an evil smile: "I am not kneeling to you because I am afraid of you, but to repay father for the grace of your birth, you do not need to use my future prospects to threaten me, even without Ouyang Family, I will still be able to take revenge."
Old Master's heart trembled, he never thought that the seemingly gentle and refined Ou Yang Qing would have such a strong aura, just like someone in power, overbearing and intimidating, completely not losing out to his young self.
He was both surprised and happy, and a thought that would even make him feel apprehensive emerged in his mind.
When Ou Yang Qing saw the praise in Old Master's eyes, a glint flashed across his eyes.
"Old Master, Second Master and Third Miss are waiting outside." Ouyang Family's butler said respectfully.
"Bring them in." Old Master said.
Right after he finished speaking, Ou Yang Hua came in with Ou Yang Qian. The two of them looked at Ou Yang Qing with hostility, especially Ou Yang Qian, who wished that he could eat him alive.
"Father." Ou Yang Hua nodded slightly towards the Old Master, then looked at Ou Yang Qing with fear and anger: "Qing Er is also here."
"Second Uncle." Ou Yang Qing had already retracted his aura, it was just like usual, warm like jade, refined and noble.
However, he was not a foolish person. Seeing that Ou Yang Qing had not been forced to follow the rules of the, he thought about it many times, and knew that Ou Yang Qing held some status in the Old Master. If he had started to criticize and punish Ou Yang Qing, Old Master would definitely be unhappy about it, and he did not want to leave any traces of brutality in the Old Master's heart.
However, Ou Yang Qing injuring his daughter so arrogantly right now, wasn't it just giving him face in front of the crowd? How could he tolerate that?
Even if they couldn't teach him a lesson, they had to let him know who was in charge in this family from beginning to end!
Seeing the smile on Ou Yang Qing's face, there was a playful look in his eyes, as if he was mocking her. He couldn't take it anymore, so he pitifully cried and limped over to Old Master's side and said, "Grandfather, you have to help Qian'er!"
After that, she looked at Ou Yang Qing accusingly, her eyes filled with hatred. A ruthless light flashed across her eyes, and her face was still pitiful as she said, "My granddaughter just said a few words that my older cousin doesn't like to hear, and he injured my granddaughter. My granddaughter was wronged."
Old Master looked at Ou Yang Qian's crying face with a face filled with impatience, but when he saw her beautiful face, he remembered the value of her marriage. He could only bear with it and pat Ou Yang Qian's hands, and comforted her: "Your older cousin has already admitted his wrongs, he didn't do it on purpose, just forgive him once."
Ou Yang Qian never thought that Old Master, who had always doted on her, would actually protect Ou Yang Qing from a young age. His heart is vicious, he wants his granddaughter to become that cripple, how can you let him go so easily? "
Ou Yang Qing raised his eyebrows and laughed: "But isn't sister leaving quite quickly now? I have never seen such a cripple! "
"You!" Ou Yang Qian's little face flushed red, she hurriedly pulled at Old Master's hand: "Grandfather, look! Cousin was deliberately humiliating me! "
"Alright." Old Master looked at Ou Yang Qing reproachfully, and then comforted him again: "Alright, your cousin really knows his wrongs, stop messing around."
Ou Yang Qian looked in disbelief at Old Master who kept on apologizing for Ou Yang Qing. Was Ou Yang Qing wrong for being so arrogant?
"Grandfather …" Ou Yang Qian was unwilling to let it go.
However, she was interrupted by Ou Yang Hua: "This is just a child's play, it's nothing much. Qian'er, don't bother your grandfather."
"Dad!" Ou Yang Qian did not expect that Ou Yang Hua would not help her, and wanted to say something again unwillingly, but she was stopped by Ou Yang Hua's sharp gaze.
Seeing Ou Yang Qing's gloating look, he felt even more humiliated and angry, and directly turned and left.
Seeing that his daughter could not take it anymore, Ou Yang Hua shook his head in disappointment.
"Qing'er, your sister is being reckless today, so don't bother with her." Ou Yang Hua said gently.
Ou Yang Qing revealed a clear and cold smile, did not follow along the stairs that Ou Yang Hua gave him, and instead spoke with a bit of provocation: "Second Uncle, you also know that I have a rather anxious personality, and like peace and quiet. If there are any more cats and dogs without my permission, they would come to my garden, and I wouldn't be able to walk on one leg next time."
Hearing that, Ou Yang Hua's face immediately darkened, he did not expect the gentle and refined Ou Yang Qing to have such a vicious side to him, and was surprised that he would dare to say such disrespectful words in front of the Old Master.
However, when he looked at Old Master's expression from the corner of his eyes, he realized that Old Master was not furious because of Ou Yang Qing's words. Instead, there was a smile in his eyes, which carried a few hints of praise.
How could he not know what the eyes of the Old Master meant? It had to be known that his father had looked at his big brother with such a gaze all those years ago. Could it be that his father wanted to pass the Ouyang Family down to Ou Yang Qing?
When this idea came out, Ou Yang Hua was so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat, unable to bother about Ou Yang Qing's unscrupulous words, and hurriedly left.
Seeing the worry and nervousness on Ou Yang Hua's face, the Old Master shook his head in disappointment. If he couldn't even deal with a junior, how could he be the Patriarch of the Ouyang Family?
On the other hand, Qing'er … He was calm and collected in the face of trouble. He was a pretty good talent.
Old Master once again looked at Ou Yang Qing who was calm and tranquil, a calculating look flashed past his eyes.
Of course, Ou Yang Qing was not wrong about the light shining in Old Master's eyes, but he knew that his performance today was more or less done for, and any more and it would be a little over the top.
"Since there's nothing else, I'll head back first."
"Wait." Old Master called out to Ou Yang Qing who had turned around and left, "Then what do you plan to do about this little girl?"
Ou Yang Qing frowned: "That's my wife."
Old Master sneered: "A woman that Xiao Yi doesn't want is worthy to be my Ouyang Family's daughter-in-law?"
Ou Yang Qing clenched his fists and said coldly: "I don't care if she is the daughter-in-law of Ouyang Family or not, she will definitely be my wife."
Old Master's eyes congealed, and he spoke with a solemn voice: "My Ouyang Family's matriarch absolutely cannot allow a woman from a small family."
Ou Yang Qing raised his eyebrows, and said without a care: "This has nothing to do with me."
"You!" Old Master was angered to death by his appearance, but seeing how light and stubborn he looked, it was as if he saw his eldest son was in high spirits all those years ago. He was immediately choked up, and even felt a bit more dispirited and guilty, waving his hands: "Hurry up and leave, don't stay here as an eyesore."
Ou Yang Qing pursed his lips, looked at the white haired Old Master, in the end, he still didn't say anything and turned to leave.
In the room, Qian Qing looked at the clock on the wall and realized that an hour had passed. Ou Yang Qing still had not come back, and his heart was feeling even more anxious and uneasy.
He struggled out of his bed, but was stopped by a maid, "Miss Qian, you don't have much strength on you, you can't get out of bed yet. Young Master has instructed me that you need to recuperate."
"Then can you go ask around to find out what happened to Big Brother Yan s? Why aren't you back yet? " Qian Qing asked worriedly.
The maid smiled in consolation, "Don't worry, Miss Qian likes young master so much. He will be fine."
"Really?" Qian Qing asked worriedly.
"Really, don't worry." The maid once again covered Qian Qing with a blanket.
The slightly more beautiful maid at the side, on the other hand, was somewhat indignant. "What do you mean nothing will happen? I heard that Young Master has been kneeling on the cobblestone for over half an hour, and his knees are about to swell!"
Hearing that, Qian Qing looked at her in shock: "Is what you said true?"
The maid's eyes held a hint of disdain, but also a little sour as she said, "That's right, I wonder how much trouble Young Master will have to suffer for his frail body."
"No, I have to go take a look!" Hearing that, Qian Qing could not sit still, and anxiously wanted to get off the bed.
The maid from before stared at the beautiful maid and comforted her, "Miss Qian, don't listen to her nonsense. Young master is fine, how could he be punished to kneel?"
"But she clearly said that Big Brother Yan was punished!"
Qian Qing pushed her hands away and anxiously got off the bed. However, her actions were too violent, causing her to blush and become dizzy, but she still struggled to stand up and walk towards the door.
"Miss Qian, be careful." When the servant saw that she was wobbling, thinking about Ou Yang Qing's instructions, she became even more anxious. However, she was afraid of hurting her, so she could only support her.
When the beautiful maid saw the situation, she became even more indignant, "Acting so pretentiously, if it wasn't for her, would the Young Master be punished? "Who are you showing this to now?"
The servant girl who was supporting Qian Qing glared at her fiercely. "You talk too much!"
