Chapter 298 The Commotion in Front of Qin Manor

Mo Xuetong was at a loss for words as she could not comprehend his logic. After a while, she smiled bitterly and asked, “Where are we going?”

“I’m bringing you to see a show. I promise that you will like it.” Feng Yuran smiled gently as he inched closer to her. “Look at how I seek revenge for you.”

“Whose show?” Mo Xuetong asked curiously.

“Who else? Definitely the genius Qin Yufeng who thought that he had your brother under control.” Feng Yuran said as he looked at Mo Xuetong’s face with caution. Seeing the laughter and delight on her face, he was immediately delighted. His men had personally seen Qin Yufeng and his men outside King Yan’s Manor.

That meant he wanted to kidnap Mo Xuetong. Qin Yufeng also ordered his men to never hurt the girl.

Feng Yuran was extremely upset that Qin Yufeng had Tong’er in his mind. Thus, even though Qin Yufeng escaped from his trap, he must let Qin Yufeng be embarrassed in front of Tong’er. Hence, he “abducted” Mo Xuetong despite his injury. He could not endure others spying on his woman.

Since Qin Yufeng tried to harm Tong’er, he should not expect the woman to have gratitude towards him.

He brought Mo Xuetong over hastily towards Qin manor to see Qin Yufeng in trouble. The greater trouble Qin Yufeng was in, the happier he would be.

Qin Yufeng was indeed in trouble, having the worst headache he ever had.

Originally, he thought that the matter was resolved but there was an aftermath to this incident. Someone revealed his recent visit to Jiangnan and hinted that Lady Li was pregnant. Furthermore, the infant was conceived around a similar time when he was in Jiangnan. That’s incredible news and Mo Huawen immediately rejected the marriage in the evening.

Qin Yufeng was involved in the entire matter.

No one dared to bear responsibility for the child in Lady Li’s womb, and thus the Li family refused to settle down. Even though it’s evening, he charged with Lady Li to Qin Manor. Front of the manor was well lit with lanterns, with a small carriage in front of the door and the crying of a woman inside. A commotion was created before the two families even met, as many gathered around to see the drama.

The troubled Lord Qin was facing an extravagant dressed middle-aged man with two thick gold necklaces on his neck. He was speechless in this confrontation. As the left imperial censor, he was in charge of debaters in the government, and he had to be innocent and clear to convince others.

With such a scandal, he would not be able to have the respect of his men. Furthermore, he would need to confess his crime on court tomorrow morning, for having raised a son that conducted such an improper act. Although he had faith in his outstanding son, he could not deny the evidence of the jade that they brought.

The jade was a family heirloom of the Qin family, with one held by Qin Yufeng and the other held by Qin Yuxuan. When the two jade were combined together, they form a whole piece. Qin Yufeng held the right half and Qin Yuxuan held the left half. With one glance, he knew that it was Qin Yufeng’s jade.

Qin Yuxuan was unconvinced and wanted to jump out and argue with the Li family. As a reckless fellow, he could not endure such accusation and had been suppressing himself for a long while. He knew his brother well and was convinced that his brother was not a man who was particularly interested in women, and would not have such a fling.

Qin Yufeng frowned and pulled Qin Yuxuan to stop his impulses. If he could not handle this matter well, he would get Father into trouble. Now, he was unsure of who he had offended that got him into trouble time after time, making him suffer in silence.

He went to Jiangnan last time for King Chu, and the person knew he could not explain himself on this matter.

Qin Yufeng, who was known for his wit, had never suffered such a loss before. Fortunately, he remained composed and ventured forth towards the talkative man. He replied calmly, “You said that your daughter is a good woman who never ventured out of the house on her own, meaning that I must have abducted her, right?”

“Of course! How can my innocent girl be involved in such a matter? She had always stayed in her house and was always like other ladies. Even though we are businessmen, we followed the law of Ding General Manor, and our girls are no less inferior than those from the officials’ families as they learned everything from inside the manor.” The middle-aged man pounded on his chest and promised.

“Since your back garden is so secure, how did I enter your house to meet your lady? How did I have sex with her with no one noticing? Furthermore, how can a weak scholar like me enter your garden?” Qin Yufeng smiled coldly and pointed out the flaws in his argument.

The face of the middle-aged man froze as he was at a loss for words, with his face turning purple and black in confusion. Biting his teeth, he wanted to continue arguing when Qin Yufeng insisted, “You claimed that I was the one abducting your girl. Alright, bring your girl back. When she had her child, I will conduct a parental blood test with the child. If it is really my child, I will marry your girl immediately. If not, you will need to be jailed for framing me, with all your wealth confiscated and all your members turned into servants!”

Towards the end, Qin Yufeng’s eyes turned cold with hatred.

He was angry since he had been repeatedly provoked.

The middle-aged man did not expect Qin Yufeng to not argue with him and promised to accept the marriage if they did have a blood parental test. However, their family could not handle the consequences as his daughter’s son was his nephew’s one, and he dared not commit to the agreement.

He came to the imperial city today to get rid of the useless nephew and marry his daughter. However, he did not expect his daughter to be pregnant already. Furthermore, he did not expect his daughter to sleep with this man, clothes disheveled. It’s a great opportunity to marry his daughter to someone, especially since he visited Jiangnan a while back.

The coincidental time and behavior made Old Sir Li delighted, as he was worried about his daughter’s marriage. Now, he would pester the young man to the very end.

However, someone else was willing to take the blame. Old Sir Li was delighted to know that the man was a son of a third-grade official. His daughter could easily be the wife of an aristocrat, with her son possibly inheriting the entirety of Mo Manor. That’s an excellent deal!

However, Old Sir Li could not anticipate the changes within the capital city itself.

While the deal was sealed in the morning, news erupted in the afternoon and Mo Manor was determined to reject the marriage. With his daughter’s reputation ruined, Old Sir Li went to Qin Manor to create a commotion, determined that Qin Yufeng must bear the responsibility since his daughter had his lost jade pendant.

Who else could prove it other than the two parties themselves?

Old Sir Li was convinced that this marriage would be settled but he did not expect Young Sir Qin to be so calm in even suggesting that the girl should give birth to her child first. A born child could not be returned to the womb, and it would be devastating to the Li family if it was not Qin Yufeng’s child.

Furthermore, the cold arrogance from Qin Yufeng’s eyes made him froze with fear. However, he was unwilling to settle the matter and thus bit his teeth, putting up a front. “Young Master Qin, how can you deny the claim! You, you are outrageous! I am going to find Ding General for justice.”

He believed that Qin Manor would give Ding General Manor face as Ding General Manor was an extremely prestigious family, having two generations of their children as empresses. Even though they did not know him, he could bluff the Qin family into it.

Knowing that he was using the power of Ding General to suppress him, Qin Yufeng sneered as he walked up, whispering, “Old Sir Li, you must be clear about matters concerning your daughter. If I say now that I gave my jade penchant to a servant in my manor, would your precious daughter be willing to marry him and be a maid here?”

His eyes were ferocious and threatening like a sharp blade that fell on Old Sir Li’s face and made him shiver in fright. If that was the case, he could only marry her daughter to a servant. The thought of her precious daughter being ordered around made Old Sir Li afraid.

He dared not to sacrifice everything. Furthermore, he knew that Ding General Manor would not be concerned with his marriage, as his maid had been chased out of Ding General Manor this morning. However, what could his daughter do now?

He was dumbfounded!

“Old Sir Li, I will settle your daughter’s marriage. It would be easy for her to enter an aristocratic family. Just let her abort the child and I will have a plan to let her marry into a family without ruining his reputation. If you still want to focus on me, your family will be ruined regardless of which path you take.” Seeing that he was hesitant, Qin Yufeng frowned and tempted him.

“My daughter can… marry into an aristocratic family?” Bearing love for his daughter, Old Sir Li asked with uncertainty.

“Of course, if you don’t believe me. You can hold my jade penchant and return me when your daughter marries into the aristocracy.”

Holding the hade pendant meant that they had evidence of Qin Yufeng’s acts. Even if Qin Yufeng did not commit his promise, they can come here and stir up another commotion. Upon further thought, Old Sir Li decided that this idea was excellent. He could not afford to offend this gentle yet vicious young man.

Furthermore, as the Young Master in aristocrat family, he could sacrifice his career to ruin their lives if they forced him to have another man’s son.

Having understood that, Old Master Li immediately stopped making trouble. He went to the front of the carriage and said something before stamping his feet in rage as if he wanted to beat up the person inside the carriage. The maid in front of the carriage pulled him away, shouting, “Old Sir, forgive miss. Miss was afraid and just uttered a random name! Forgive her!”

“What did I tell her before? Not only did she not follow a woman’s conduct, but she also lied and hurt both us and them! I shall beat her to death!” Old Sir Li was jumping up and down, apparently, he was so angry that he lost control of his voice.

Everyone around them was all stupefied! This was a new situation!

“Old Sir Li, since your daughter said that I was not the one, let’s not make a fuss here. It’s not good for her reputation if you continue making a fuss. Please return and complete the marriage with her husband when he comes to the capital.” With his handsome face, Qin Yufeng’s was all smiles as he held on to Old Sir Li’s hands as if he were comforting him.

This meant… he was the wrong person? The crowd was confused!

That’s an absurdly fast change!

“Young Master Qin, I’m so sorry for today. My girl is ill-disciplined to have had stated a huge lie and has tarnished your reputation. It’s truly my responsibility. Please forgive me and I will come forth to apologize officially another day.” Old Sir Li’s face was red with shame as if he were greatly disappointed in his daughter, sighing and shaking his head.

He clasped his hands together and left with his family, saying nothing much with Qin Yufeng. With those staging the drama gone, the audience looked at each other in disbelief, as they did not expect the show to end this way.

Lord Qin heaved a sigh of relief. Ignoring the crowd, he returned to his manor. Anyway, this matter was resolved easily, and his family would not be criticized tomorrow.

Qin Yufeng and Qin Yuxuan followed him in before the door was closed shut!

“Big brother, you are so amazing, convincing that thug family to retreat just by using a few words. That lady is just a slut to have a kid even before marriage. How dare she come forth to our family to stir a commotion! It is indeed because of big brother’s wits that they retreated.” Qin Yuxuan was standing close to Qin Yufeng and heard what he said to Old Sir Li. Immediately, he felt admiration for his big brother as they had won this battle.

“Shut up!” Lord Qin scolded him before staring harshly at Qin Yufeng, scolding him, “You are grounded this few days. Learn in the study room and get good grades in the exams! Don’t horse around anymore.”

With anger and annoyance, he rushed back to the yard.

“What happened to Father?” Qin Yuxuan touched his head, confused.

“Alright, I shall go back and study. You shall go back and rest!” Qin Yufeng smiled but did not answer, walking instead to the study room. It was indeed time for him to take the imperial exam. He was too weak and could not always do what he wanted. If he had men under him, such a drama today would not have happened!
