Chapter 451: I Have a Good Brother
As night fell in the Qin Mansion, during dinner in the main hall, the Second Mother suddenly asked, “Feng’er, it’s been a long time, and you haven’t moved the bowl and chopsticks in your hands. You seem absent-minded. Is there something on your mind?”
Several people glanced at him.
Qin Feng thought about the events of the day, the figure of Miss Cang, and the words spoken by Cang Mu.
As a man, he should take responsibility. Miss Cang had deep feelings for him. If he hesitated at this moment, what would be the difference between him and a useless person?
Thinking about this, he took a deep breath and turned his head to look at his wife, seeming to have made some kind of determination.
“Actually, it’s like this. I have a good brother.”
Then Qin Feng vividly told the story of a “good brother”, subtly removing himself from the story.
“The reason I’m absent-minded is because I don’t know how to answer him. Should I go and tell him to marry that woman?”
After listening, Father Qin showed a strange expression, and the Second Mother sighed, “I didn’t expect this to happen around Feng’er. This is indeed a difficult problem.”
“The girl owes your friend a life-saving favour, and various signs indicate that she has feelings for your friend. However, your friend already has a loving wife at home.”
“Does the girl not know of this? Even if she marries, she can only be a concubine. I have heard that the girl’s identity is not ordinary. Will her family agree?”
Qin Feng replied, “Her family said that it’s common for men to have three wives and four concubines, so it’s no problem.”
“I see.” The Second Mother nodded and began to think about the issue of marriage.
The curious Black Charcoal Head on the side asked, “Young Master, how do you know what the girl’s family said?”
“Yes, Feng’er, how do you know?”
Qin Feng laughed dryly, “Since my friend consulted me, he naturally told me everything. What’s so surprising about that?”
“That makes sense.”
Phew, that was close. I almost gave myself away, Qin Feng thought nervously.
After several people asked for many details, Second Mother and Lan Ningshuang fell into contemplation.
At this point, Black Charcoal Head asked the last question, “Young Master, what does your friend think of this girl?”
Everyone’s gaze turned when they heard this.
Qin Feng was momentarily stunned by this question. He opened his mouth, then looked at his wife beside him and hesitated to speak.
Thinking about this, Qin Feng didn’t care to continue eating; he hurriedly left the hall.
The Second Mother was confused, “Master, why didn’t I understand? Weren’t we talking about Feng’er’s friend?”
Father Qin sighed, “What friend? Feng’er was always talking about his own affairs.”
Black Charcoal Head also reacted with a stunned expression.
Thinking about his previous answers, he wished he could find a hole to hide in.
Was he actually suggesting that the young master should marry another woman in front of the young lady?
The Second Mother covered her mouth in shock, “Feng’er’s own affairs? Who is this girl?”
Lan Ningshuang watched her brother-in-law walk away, raised her head to look at the towering stone pillar arena, and sighed softly, “It’s Miss Cang.”
What she most feared had happened. Something must have happened between her brother-in-law and Miss Cang in Shuliang City.
In the pavilion by the lake of the Qin residence, Liu Jianli stood at the top of the pavilion, her silhouette looking somewhat lonely.
Her aura was uncontrollable, sweeping around her like a hurricane. The surface of the lake churned with waves, tree leaves scattered, and cracks appeared on the walls.
Liu Jianli placed her right hand lightly on her chest. Her heart seemed to be pinched in one place, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
This was something she had never experienced before.
In the main hall, when Qin Feng mentioned the matter of his friend, she didn’t pay much attention.
But when she heard the words ‘probably likes’, she immediately understood that the so-called friend was none other than her husband.
It was an intuition, more like a reflection of her own affection for him.
Sister Mo from Jinyang City had once asked her: “Would you be willing to share the man you love with other women?”
At that time, she couldn’t answer because she had never considered such questions. However, when she was faced with this situation, she understood that of course she wouldn’t be willing.
She only hoped that her husband would be hers alone.
There were hurried footsteps in the corridor, and it was Qin Feng rushing over.
Liu Jianli quickly suppressed her unruly energy, fearing that the turbulent energy might harm him.
“Wife.” Qin Feng looked at the lonely figure and called softly, feeling extremely guilty.
