Chapter 152: The Only Color in This Life

"Don't understand what you are saying?"

Qin Mingsong replied calmly.

Song Jin smiled indifferently, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Grandfather, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

The three of them watched Song Jin walk out.

Qin Mingsong asked, "Da Lang, what did your wife mean just now?"

"My uncle is not the only smart person in this world."

Qin Chi turned his head helplessly and glanced at Old Man Qin, "Grandfather, don't you say a few words? Our Qin family almost became a joke in the surrounding area. Before coming here, I was scolded by my wife, and it was all because of my uncle."

No direct reason was given.

Everyone present who should understand will understand.

Qin Mingsong only felt his hands and feet were cold.

He personally went to find the matchmaker and repeatedly asked the other party to keep it a secret, but what he did was discovered right after he did it?

What does this explain?
This means that he has been under surveillance by others and he knows nothing about it!
"My uncle used to be very calm, but when it comes to women, he loses his composure."

Qin Chi's vague ridicule was the most deadly.

Especially since he is still a junior.

This made Qin Mingsong lose face, and he asked sternly: "Are you monitoring me?"

"What nonsense? We were just told by someone we know."

Qin Chi flatly denied the surveillance.

This kind of thing can only be kept in the dark; it would be bad if it were brought to the surface.

Old Man Qin sighed and said earnestly, "Da Lang, the Bai family claimed that Miss Bai died of illness. Your uncle finally got a connection with Bai Da Ru, but it's about to be cut off. You have studied for so many years, you should know the importance of this."

"I respect my uncle's choice."

From Qin Mingsong's perspective, Qin Chi really couldn't say anything wrong. "But grandfather, a gentleman never regrets his move. Since you've married someone, you must be responsible to the end and treat them well. If a chess player is indecisive and wavering, he may lose everything."

Old Man Qin opened his mouth to say something, but seeing Qin Mingsong's gloomy face, he could only hold back his words, "It's me who has dragged your uncle down. I shouldn't have arranged this marriage for him without permission."

Qin Chi wanted to say no.

If you don't arrange this marriage, where will my wife come from?
He didn't dare say out loud what he was thinking.

One was born into a business family, the other into a scholarly family. From a big picture perspective, Qin Mingsong's choice was correct.

Any man would make the same choice.

The reason why Bai Daru is called a great scholar is that he has many students all over the world, including officials in important positions and children of noble families. As long as Qin Mingsong can get access to this network, he will benefit a lot.

It can only be said that Old Man Qin made the marriage contract without authorization, which really dragged Qin Mingsong down.

Old man Qin must have realized this, which is why he was depressed the whole day.

Qin Chi used the tongs to pick up a few pieces of charcoal and put them into the stove. "Uncle, don't blame grandpa in your heart. He was doing this for your own good. The Bai family is of high status and we can't marry into it. At that time, grandpa didn't know that you were so capable that you could hook up with the daughter of Bai Da Ru..."

The more Qin Mingsong heard this, the colder his expression became.

"What do you mean by hooking up? You're not being serious when you talk." Old Man Qin interrupted Qin Chi.

I thought this kid was speaking for him, but it sounded more like he was mocking Si'er.

Qin Mingsong said coldly: "Is Dalang the only one who has ever been a womanizer in his life?"

Qin Chi paused while adding charcoal, then smiled calmly and said, "I never thought about it before, but now I see my uncle being tormented by two women. I decided to learn from this and only have one in my life."

Qin Mingsong lowered his eyelids and said, "I started a bad precedent."

"That's right. All the men in the Qin family are single for life, with my uncle being the only exception." Qin Chi was quite emotional.

Qin Mingsong’s fist hardened!
He felt that his nephew was becoming more and more annoying.

Old Man Qin looked at Qin Mingsong secretly.

It was no use trying to refute Dalang's words. The Qin family really had no men of other sex. Only Si'er set a precedent.

"Da Lang, Si'er's matter cannot be made public. Your wife won't do anything, right?" Old Man Qin asked the key question.

Qin Mingsong also looked up at Qin Chi.

The room was exceptionally quiet.

After waiting for a long time, Qin Chi did not answer. However, he did not speak, and his expression was particularly serious, which made people feel uneasy. Qin Mingsong frowned and said, "So what if it is exposed? The Song sisters are daughters of criminals. My family did not divorce them and gave them a place to stay. Shouldn't they be grateful?"

"You should ask your grandfather, what benefit did you get from taking such a big risk to accept these two marriages?"

Qin Chi said this.

Old Qin's eyelids jumped, and then he glared at Qin Chi, "What are you talking about, kid? Master Song saved my life."

"It's true that I'm repaying the favor of saving my life, and there will be no shortage of benefits." Qin Chi looked calm, as if he knew everything.

This made Old Man Qin unsure for a moment.

Did he really know, or was he trying to trick him?

"What did Dalang know?" Old Man Qin asked calmly.

Qin Chi smiled and said, "Last year, something unexpected happened to the Song family. All those who were sent to investigate were either dead or disabled. Someone counted and found that a total of 37 people died and 9 were disabled."

Old man Qin opened his eyes wide in shock.

Qin Mingsong was also shocked.

He had never heard of this!

Qin Chi added: "The dead and injured people are from various families. This is a warning. Whoever dares to investigate the Song family case will die."

After a pause, he said quietly:
"There are two ancestors hidden in our family. If even a little bit of information is leaked, hehe..."

Qin Mingsong's heart trembled.

Old man Qin was surprisingly calm. He thought that when he agreed to the marriage, Master Song had warned him of the danger and told him not to tell anyone about the sisters' backgrounds. However, he told Si'er, and now it seemed that Dalang also knew it!

"Okay, no matter what happens, their backgrounds must be kept secret."

Old Man Qin gave the two of them a warning look.

Finally, he stared at Qin Mingsong and said, "Si Er, I remember telling you before that even if he is down and out, my family can't afford to offend him."

Qin Mingsong was filled with shame.

He is a distinguished scholar! How could he be afraid of a down-and-out merchant?
This is really the most ridiculous thing in the world!
Ridiculous!

Not wanting to stay here any longer, Qin Mingsong waved his sleeves and left.

Qin Chi looked outside the door and said, "Grandfather, it is true that my uncle is our family's hope for a change in status, but his mentality is not good. He looks down on others as soon as he becomes a scholar. Has he forgotten that we are just peasants?"

Old Qin deeply agreed.

Qin Chi continued, "Since ancient times, there have been many officials who ended up with their entire families executed."

Old man Qin's heart was suddenly lifted.

Knowing that it was almost time, Qin Chi stretched his long legs leisurely and started chatting with Old Man Qin again. After talking about this and that, they returned to the previous topic.

"Speaking of which, Grandfather, what benefit did my father-in-law give you?"

"piss off!"

Old Qin was not fooled.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a continuous clanging sound of gongs outside, coming from far away and getting closer.

The villagers went out to watch.

I saw a wedding sedan being carried into the village by two bearers, led by a matchmaker in a red coat and a half-grown boy.

The young man was holding a gong.

Take a few steps and knock.

Whenever he saw someone, he would sing out loud: "Mr. Qin is taking a concubine today. What a joy!"

So everyone knew that Qin Mingsong took a concubine today.

Before the wedding sedan was carried to the Qin family’s gate, the villagers who wanted to watch the fun had already arrived!
"Mrs. Liu, congratulations! There's a new member in the family. Do you want to set up a few tables?"

"What are you talking about? What's the happy or unhappy thing?"

Before Old Liu could come to her senses, she saw a sedan chair being carried into the Qin family's home.
