Enter the red building

Chapter Two Hundred and One

Xue Qiu didn't expect Shui Rong to say such a thing, and looked at Shui Rong suspiciously, wondering why he said such a thing.

Shui Rong looked at the bright and beautiful scenery outside the door, but felt very heavy in his heart. He felt very sad when he said this, because his daughter was determined and refused to let go, and there would be no other good after such a thing happened. Besides, she won't agree to her marriage.

"Linglong's temperament believes that you should understand, and she will not change if she is sure. She can't be so exhausted all her life. You-don't say you love her, you should also feel guilty. She has been waiting for you for four years. How long are you going to keep her waiting?" Shui Rong seemed to be muttering to himself, and at the same time seemed to be whispering to Xue Qiu, "I'm sorry for her, I let her see her mother's tragedy with my own eyes, She has always been very proud and refused to compromise with others. But now because of you, she has changed, learned to change herself, and learned to wait. These are all caused by me. She is unwilling to learn from her mother, but how does she know that she is now Following her mother's path."

Xue Qiu didn't speak, and kept listening quietly. It is the best way to keep silent at this time.

Shui Rong looked at Xue Qiu, with a bleak voice, "So you promised me to marry her in three years, even if you didn't fall in love with her. Don't let her know about this, and let her think that you married her because of love." .Otherwise, she will really wait for you all the time and spend all this time."

Looking at Shui Rong's begging gaze, Xue Qiu didn't know what to say, but he still said, "I can't agree."

"Why?" Shui Rong asked: "Didn't you say that you would marry a wife for your child? Then why can't you promise me to marry Linglong?"

Xue Qiu shook his head and said directly: "This is deceiving her."

"Then what do you think we should do? Let her be exhausted like this? Everything she does is for you, so are you planning to stay out of it?" Shui Rong was very angry.

Xue Qiu tapped the coffee table a few times and said, "I never asked her to do this."

"But you caused her to be like this, so you really plan to let her stay by your side all the time, nameless?" Shui Rong could be said to be on the verge of breaking out, and Xue Qiu's attitude made him very angry. It's outrage, it's clearly a reluctance to marry Linglong.

Xue Qiu smiled wryly and said, "Let her stay by my side? My lord, I'm afraid you're wrong. The princess insists on staying by my side. I believe you know this very well, my lord."

Shui Rong immediately stood up, raised her eyebrows and asked loudly, "You must give me an answer and give Linglong an explanation. Otherwise, I will make her feel better than a short-term pain."

Murderous aura, sudden murderous aura!

The meaning behind these words couldn't be more obvious, if Xue Qiu really couldn't give Shui Rong a good explanation, I'm afraid Shui Rong would really kill Xue Qiu directly.

Xue Qiu looked at Shui Rong's murderous eyes, but he didn't feel any fear, he just asked indifferently: "Prince, why are you doing this? Even if I promise to marry Shui Linglong like this, she won't be happy."

"Then make her happy!" Shui Rong, as the king of Beijing, has always been gentle and refined, rarely glaring at people like this, and directly yelled loudly.

Xue Qiu shook his head and said, "My lord, you should know that I don't love the princess at all, so how can I make her happy?"

Shui Rong sneered and said, "Oh, I thought of one thing. Didn't you just say that you would consider a sequel for your child? It seems that you value that child very much, so I don't know how you will react if something happens to him. ?”

The cold tone, blatantly threatening!

Xue Qiu stood up abruptly after hearing Shui Rong's words, looked at Shui Rong in astonishment, and asked in a trembling voice: "My lord, do you—you?"

Shui Rong knew what he just said, and threatened Xue Qiu with Xue Qiu's child. Although he knew in his heart that this was a despicable act, for Linglong's sake, Xue Qiu would only agree to this, and said coldly: "It seems that Master Xue I really value that child, but I don’t know how long he can live?”

Seeing Shui Rong's determined gaze, Xue Qiu felt a chill in his heart, and the hairs all over his body stood on end, Wuyou—what if something happened to Wuyou?What should I do?

"My lord, do you really want to force me to dismiss you like this?" Xue Qiu's mind went blank, how could King Bei Jing say such a thing, and threaten him with Wuyou?

Xue Qiu laughed at that moment, very sad.

Shui Rong looked at Xue Qiu's empty eyes, and knew in his heart that the child named Xue Wuyou was his weakness, even if Xue Qiu himself was not afraid of my threats, but for the sake of that child who was more important than himself, he could only promise.If he hadn't been forced to, how could he do this.

"It's not that I want to force you, but you are forcing Linglong, forcing me!" Shui Rong still said with a cold face, "I only care about Linglong, just like you only care about your child."

Xue Qiu lowered his head and asked in a deep voice: "My lord, are you not afraid that I will tell the Princess about these things?"

"No! You won't! You are a smart person, and you know what is beneficial to you." Shui Rong smiled, but that smile was extremely ferocious in Xue Qiu's eyes.

"My lord, is it really worth it for you to do this?" Xue Qiu already knew that this matter should be settled like this, and asked softly: "If Linglong finds out that I am not—"

Shui Rong interrupted directly: "So you have to let Linglong think that you are really in love with her, then you will marry her and treat her well."

Xue Qiu smiled self-deprecatingly, and asked: "The prince doesn't think this is too difficult, why does the prince think that I can always make the princess feel this way?"

"Didn't you love before? I believe that you will treat Linglong well and make Linglong feel happy." Shui Rong actually knows that this matter is difficult, but does it mean that it is impossible.

Xue Qiu looked at Shui Rong, shook his head and smiled, he didn't know what it was like, but finally nodded and said: "Okay! I promise the prince, I will definitely marry the princess in three years."

Shui Rong smiled and said, "You should know how to do it."

Xue Qiu was noncommittal, and only asked: "My lord, what if I didn't do this?"

"You should have guessed the consequences. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, I have already said this sentence." Shui Rong said word by word.

Xue Qiu just smiled and said nothing, he knew very well why Shui Rong did this, but he didn't know that a fake is a fake, no matter how hard it is, it can't be true.

There was only silence between the two of them for a while, but beneath the silence was a turbulent sea. No one knew what would happen three years later, and no one could guess whether the ending would be sad or happy.

Shui Rong doesn't know whether his decision is right or wrong, and what will happen in the future, but he is sure that Xue Qiu will treat Shui Linglong well, just like he treated his dead wife, and Linglong will be very happy.

Some things are just like that, until the final result is known whether it is right or wrong.

Shui Linglong didn't know about the conversation between Xue Qiu and Shui Rong, seeing her father looking at her with a smile on her face, Xue Qiu was also smiling, Shui Linglong guessed that the conversation between the two should be good and there should be no conflicts.

But the fact is exactly the opposite, it's just that Shui Linglong can't know.

Shui Linglong tentatively said: "Father, I really won't go back to Beijing with you. Don't worry, I will be fine."

Shui Rong glanced at Xue Qiu, and pretended to be helpless and said: "Forget it! I have nothing to do with you, but you—you have to remember to go back to the capital, and don't stay in Jinling forever."

Shui Linglong looked at her father's haggard face and felt a little sour in her heart, but she still smiled and said: "Father, you believe that I will be fine, and I will definitely bring you a county horse back to the capital."

Speaking of Shui Linglong, she looked at Xue Qiu.

Seeing Shui Linglong laughing happily, Shui Rong also smiled, that's all my father can do for you, you must be good.

Xue Qiu looked at Shui Linglong's smiling face, his eyes changed, but he recovered immediately, without letting Shui Linglong notice anything, he said with a cold face: "My lord, why don't you think about it again, the county chief is coming out What happened is not something that a subordinate official can take responsibility for."

Shui Rong was very satisfied with Xue Qiu's attitude, believed that he would do a good job, and said solemnly: "I also hope that Master Xue can take good care of my little girl!"

Xue Qiu looked at Shui Rong's attitude coldly, but on the face he looked respectful, and said, "Well, I just hope that the prince can persuade the princess to return to the capital sooner, after all, there is no beautiful scenery in Jinling worth visiting."

Shui Linglong saw the change in Xue Qiu's eyes at that moment, but she couldn't tell what it was. Shui Linglong didn't have time to think about it, but when she took a closer look at Xue Qiu, it was the same as usual.

Shui Rong really had to admire Xue Qiu's wit, and told Linglong to leave Beijing with Xue Qiu privately, saying that he was visiting Jinling. It would be great if Xue Qiu could really be his son-in-law willingly!

Seeing that she didn't have to go back to Beijing, Shui Linglong smiled, but then remembered the incident with Aunt Liu, and said to Shui Rong, "Father, have you received that letter? The incident mentioned in the letter—"

Shui Rong nodded, frowned and said: "I already know the cause and effect of the matter, this matter is a bit tricky, Su Sansi has someone in the capital."

"Why, father, you can't—" Shui Linglong was a little surprised, because of her father's status, she shouldn't need to worry too much about other officials in the capital.

Xue Qiu asked: "My lord, Liu Beifeng's family may have been wronged in this case, please help me."

"Don't worry, although there are some troubles, the lives of the Liu family should be saved, but Su Sansi's position as governor is difficult to shake." Shui Rong said lightly.

Xue Qiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Shui Rong say this, Su Sansi even worried about the King of Beijing, let alone overturn the case himself, with the words of the King of Beijing, it is enough, said : "It is enough to get Liu Beifeng's family out of prison."

It's not that Xue Qiu is cold-blooded. Seeing such a parent, the officials are unwilling to think of ways to bring him down.It's just that he has no power at all. Besides, there are so many injustices in the world, and he can take care of a few of them.

But Shui Rong shook his head and said, "You don't have to say that, Su Sansi won't be able to escape even with some effort."

Xue Qiu didn't speak anymore, it would be even better if he could get Su Sansi off his horse.

Shui Linglong saw that the matter of the Liu family had come to an end, she smiled at Xue Qiu and asked, "I wonder when we will leave for Jinling?"
