If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

Qin Shu was annoyed and embarrassed, and glared at Fu Rong with a red face.

A red cloud appeared on the little face as white as jade, like white jade dyed by the sunset glow.

A pair of eyes were as full as water, seeming to want to speak but shy, and seemed angry but not quite.

Seeing Qin Shu in such a rare state, Fu Ying suddenly felt as if his throat was on fire, dry and astringent. He couldn't help swallowing and said in a hoarse voice: "If you look at me like this again, I..."

Qin Shu quickly closed her eyes and turned her head to the other side.

Fu Rong couldn't help but chuckle.

He stretched out his hand, gently pinched Qin Shu's nose, stood up from the couch, and pulled Qin Shu up to sit up.

Fu Yu half-knelt on the footstool, holding Qin Shu's hand, and said seriously: "Shu'er, I want to marry you."

The blush on Qin Shu's face suddenly faded away, and her expression instantly darkened.

Fu Ying sighed and said, "I know everything you've been through, and I also know why you're so secretive about marriage. You even said something like that."

"But in this vast world, not all men are heartless and unfaithful. Not all men will let the women they love swallow their grievances and fulfill their own selfish desires."

"You said you didn't want to get married, but you were willing to be with me. Shu'er, if I go along with it and take your innocence, I won't give you any status or respect."

"Even if it's consensual, what does it matter? If I did that, how would I be any different from those heartless men who abandon their lovers after having sex with them?"

Qin Shu turned her head to one side and said softly, "You are the head of the Fu family. The woman you will marry in the future must be a woman from a wealthy family with a family background equal to that of the Fu family. I have said that I will not share a husband with other women, let alone be a concubine."

Fu Ying chuckled, "When did I say I wanted to take a concubine? And when did I say I wanted to take you as my concubine?"

Qin Shu looked down at Fu Rong.

Fu Rong twitched his lips slightly, but his eyes were cold, "You must still remember how I appeared in your house?"

Qin Shu nodded, "Yeah."

Fu Ying smiled silently, "I was seriously injured and nearly died that time, all thanks to my half-brother Fu Jing."

"When the Fu family was at its most glorious, they were the ministers of the five nations. The status of the head of the Fu family is more honorable than that of the head of a country. Among all the previous heads of the Fu family, only the eldest son can succeed to the position."

He sighed faintly and said, "The most core mechanical skills of the Fu family are only in the hands of the Fu family's Patriarch."

"In order to prevent the family from being damaged due to disputes among family heads, if the heir to the Fu family has a legitimate son, he is not allowed to take a concubine."

Of course, the candidate for the future mistress also needs to be selected unanimously by the elders of the clan.

"My father didn't like my mother. He secretly married Qi as his concubine without telling the elders in the clan. After Fu Jing was born, he brought the mother and son back to the clan."

"My mother is also the daughter of a wealthy family. She is gentle, virtuous, tolerant and generous."

At this point, Fu Ying curled up the corners of his lips and revealed a sarcastic smile, "So she personally went to persuade the elders of the clan to accept Qi and Fu Jing, and let Fu Jing learn mechanical arts with me."

He couldn't help but chuckle, "Perhaps mother didn't expect that it was because of her kindness and generosity that her son almost died at the hands of Qi mother and son several times."

"I am the 24th head of the Fu family. My grandfather was the 23rd."

"If my grandfather had not protected me with all his strength and joined forces with the elders of the clan to deprive my father of his right to inherit the throne, I'm afraid the position of the young master of the Fu family would have changed hands long ago."

Qin Shu suddenly remembered what her grandfather had told her, that Fu Rong's tendons and veins were severely damaged and the remaining poison in his body had not been eliminated.

Fu Ying also joked several times that he ate as much poison as candy.

She couldn't help but look at Fu Rong.

Fu Ying looked at her seriously, "Shu'er, if there is anyone in this world who can understand your situation and feelings, I think I should be one of them. If you know the pain, how can you repeat the same mistake?"

Qin Shu curled her lips and said nothing.

If the promise was useful, why would the Cheng family regret the engagement?

How could Daddy just leave Mom in danger?

There are so many unfaithful men in this world, and which one of them has not made a lifelong vow to be faithful under the moonlight?

In the end, didn't he still take concubines one after another?

I didn't see many people being killed by God.

Is it true that a woman's destiny is limited to the backyard of a mansion?

Fu Rong suddenly pulled out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Qin Shu, who held it tightly. "Inside this porcelain bottle is a kind of love Gu unique to Nan Zhao, called 'Love Ties'. I specially asked for it from Jin Shan, the court physician beside His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin."

He looked at Qin Shu with bright eyes, "Love Ties, which means 'love and longing for each other'. As long as you take this Gu, you will be devoted to only one person for your whole life."

"If you don't trust me, I will take this poison on our wedding night."

Qin Shu lowered her head, looked at the porcelain bottle in her palm, and said softly: "If I need to use Gu to keep your heart, what's the point of it? No matter how deep my love is, it's just an illusion."

Fu Rong couldn't help but laugh, "That's true."

He reached out to take the porcelain bottle from Qin Shu's hand and said, "If that's the case, then just throw it away."

Qin Shu raised her hand to avoid it and put it into her sleeve pocket. "Keep it for now, and wait until I decide whether to use it or not."

Fu Ying stood up by the edge of the couch, leaned over to kiss her, and said in a hoarse voice: "Then do you know what will happen if you take this love poison?"

Qin Shu leaned back, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What will happen?"

Fu Ying leaned close to Qin Shu's ear and said in a low voice, "You must follow the Zhougong ritual."

Qin Shu frowned and thought about it. She had some ideas in her mind, but she couldn't get the point.

In her previous life, she married into the Liu family with great affection.

Before the mourning period was over, Liu Baocai broke into her room and threw her on the couch just like Fu Ying did.

After she chased me out with a pair of scissors and threatened me with death, I never touched her again.

In the other world, the young lady of the Song family entered the bridal chamber with her new boyfriend. Adhering to the principle of "don't look at or listen to anything indecent", Qin Shu always avoided them far away in advance.

This life...

After the marriage with the Cheng family was called off, she never discussed marriage again, and no one told her about the bridal chamber.

That time at Prince Jin's Mansion, she only felt so ashamed and angry that she wanted to beat that lecher to death. She had no time to think about anything else.

Qin Shu and Fu Ying fell in love in the cave, and that was her first taste of love between a man and a woman.

As for the rest, she didn't understand.

But even if she didn't understand, Qin Shu had a hunch that it wasn't a good intention.

She glanced at Fu Ying with a shy and angry look, raised her hand to block his lips from kissing her, and said, "When did I say I wanted to marry you? I also said that I am not a woman who is content to stay in the backyard."

Fu Yu pecked her palm and said, "Well, after we get married, no matter what you want to do, I will support you."

Qin Shu's eyes sparkled, "Really?"

Fu Ying smiled slightly, "When my water mill is finished, I will take you to see it. You invested the money. Manager Qin's mill, you don't mind having one more worker, right?"

Qin Shu tilted her head mischievously, "That depends on whether this guy is capable and smart."

Fu Ying rushed over and was about to speak when he heard Ying Yi's anxious voice outside the door, "Miss Qin, Master Xiaofu, there is urgent news from His Majesty in the capital."
