Chapter 428 Self
Song Ruize placed Qin Huiyin in the next room and asked her to wait for him there for a while.
There are only men here, and sometimes they show their arms and legs without any hesitation. He doesn't want to leave her to others to take care of her, so as to avoid those ugly scenes.
Song Ruize put her veil on and repeatedly reminded her: "Don't go out until that person leaves."
"I see." Qin Huiyin said, "You're so long-winded, little old man Song."
"You actually dislike your brother." Song Ruize pinched her soft little face.
Although he only pinched it lightly, the little face was so tender, like tofu, that it still left a fingerprint. He gently stroked it, trying to wipe it off.
Qin Huiyin looked at him confusedly: "What's wrong?"
Those clear and trusting eyes, like an innocent and simple deer, are completely defenseless against the "hunter" in front of them, and they show their softest and most vulnerable side without reservation.
"Nothing." Song Ruize turned and walked out.
He quickened his pace, as if he was in a hurry to escape from this place.
After Song Ruize left, Qin Huiyin felt bored and looked around.
There were many documents here, each with a plaque with a date on it. They were probably the official records handled by their military department. She didn't touch them, but moved the flower pots by the window and used the scissors beside them to trim the branches and leaves.
From next door came the voices of Song Ruize and a strange man. Without even a word of greeting, the man went straight to the point and demanded Song Ruize release the man. It sounded like Song Ruize's men had captured his people, and they were looking for trouble.
Song Ruize remained calm from beginning to end, which meant only one thing: there was no room for negotiation.
"Mr. Song, you're so angry, how about I give you a woman to cool you down? I've just got two skinny women from Yangzhou. Their slim waists and sweet voices can make even a tough guy soft. How about this, I'll give you one... no, two of them. If you can help me settle this matter, how about I acknowledge you as my brother?"
"If you're done, then please leave, Commander Wu!" Song Ruize said coldly, "What beauty? I'm not worthy of her. You can enjoy her slowly."
"Mr. Song, if you continue to be so ignorant of the current situation, don't blame me for being rude."
"Commander Wu, whatever tricks you have, just bring them on. Those people you mentioned dared to oppress the people in my East City territory, so they must abide by the rules of my East City."
"Okay, okay, you're so cruel. Don't fall into my hands, or I'll make you live a life worse than death."
Commander Xicheng stormed out and left.
Qin Huiyin heard the sound of a door slamming, looked back, and saw the tall man leaving angrily.
Song Ruize opened the door and saw Qin Huiyin pruning branches. He said, "Get out of the way. I'll take you to my study."
"it is good."
Qin Huiyin did not mention the words she had just heard. However, her silence did not mean that she had not heard them.
For the first time, she truly felt that Song Ruize had "grown up".
When they first met, he was immature, and so was she. Over the years, the image of the little villain as a bitter melon had become ingrained in her mind. But now, he was the protector of the people of East City, shouldering a heavy responsibility and possessing the responsibility and body of a grown man. Look, someone just sent him a woman.
With his current status, he must have experienced this kind of temptation many times, so he was able to refuse it so calmly.
"Brother, do you have a girl you like?" Qin Huiyin suddenly asked.
Song Ruize: "..."
He was pouring tea, and when he heard this, his hand shook and the tea spilled out.
He wiped the water stain with a handkerchief and asked calmly, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"I was thinking that you should find a wife to take care of your household affairs." Qin Huiyin said, "Next time someone gives you a woman, you will have a more legitimate reason."
"First, I rarely go home, so I don't have any housework to take care of. Even if I do, the housekeeper will take care of it. Second, if you refuse, then refuse. No reason is needed."
"Yes, yes, you're the best. You're not afraid of offending people. But sometimes I have to admit that it's better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Villains will try to trip you up behind your back."
"That's because you're not strong enough, so you're afraid of villains trying to trip you up. As long as you're strong enough, villains won't have the chance to do anything."
After Song Ruize finished speaking, he looked at Qin Huiyin tentatively: "You pushed me to someone else, are you tired of me and don't want to care about me anymore?"
"How could that be? That's not the case."
"How long will you take care of me?"
Qin Huiyin: "...If you have a wife, we still have to avoid suspicion! Although we are brother and sister, women are very narrow-minded. They will not want to see their husband treat another woman better, even if he only has brotherly and sisterly feelings for that woman."
"Then it seems I won't be able to find someone I like." Song Ruize looked at her seriously, "Because I don't think other women are as important as you, I won't find someone to make things difficult for you."
Qin Huiyin panicked. Seeing him holding the teacup with his right hand, she snatched it away and lectured him, "Your right hand is injured. Can't you feel the pain?"
Song Ruize saw her earlobes turn red and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
"I'm taking care of official business. If you're bored, you can read the storybook. But I don't know if you like it. They were all confiscated from that kid Jiang Qibin."
"Brother Qibin is still reading storybooks?" Qin Huiyin was surprised. Looking at the storybooks on the table, he said as he selected them, "They are all new. He is very good at choosing!"
Song Ruize was sitting at the table handling official business, while Qin Huiyin was reading a storybook beside him. But after reading a few pages, she realized something was wrong. The content of the storybook was so strange!
The hero is the heroine's stepbrother. They were together for three years, but the heroine's mother married someone else and took her with her. The hero and the heroine continued to care for each other. Years later, the hero confessed his feelings to the heroine, but she was betrothed to someone else. The hero went to the heroine's mother's house to explain the situation and promised him that he would become a successful person within five years, so she asked him to keep the heroine for a few more years. A few years later, the hero returned home with wealth and success, and the two of them became a legend.
Ancient vernacular novels are much bolder than modern romance novels, and the various ambiguous interactions between the male and female protagonists are really enough to make one's nose bleed.
Qin Huiyin felt a little guilty. She glanced at Song Ruize secretly and put the book away.
She felt a little irritable recently.
Why do I always think of Song Ruize after reading the description in that book, and even imagine myself as Song Ruize?
We can only blame the person who wrote the book, as if Song Ruize is the prototype.
A soldier walked in and his eyes widened when he saw Qin Huiyin.
"Boss, is this...sister-in-law?"
Qin Huiyin waved her hands quickly: "No... no..."
"What's the matter?" Song Ruize said calmly.
"Something happened with Chen Yong. He was supposed to go get his engagement today, but someone robbed him of his bride. It's said that Miss Li is going to be a concubine in the Wu Mansion."
