As soon as Old Master Liu finished speaking, a burst of laughter broke out.

Fu Qiuyang seemed to have heard the funniest joke in his life, and he couldn't stop laughing until his stomach hurt.

Shopkeeper Li was panicked. He couldn't help but reach out to pull his master's sleeve and comforted him with tears in his eyes:

"Master, please don't scare me. What's wrong with you? If you don't want us to refuse, then we can. Even for Miss Yun Xin, you have to take good care of yourself!"

Finally, the laughter died down, but Fu Qiuyang's eyes were red and tears welled up in his eyes. He reached out and patted Shopkeeper Li on the shoulder to comfort him, and then angrily said to Mr. Liu:

"Youthful ignorance! It's obvious that someone can't stand me and deliberately found someone to imitate my handwriting to write that damn note!

You convicted me without even giving me a chance to explain, and now you brazenly say just let it go? How shameless! "

Old Master Liu's face turned red from being scolded. He pointed at the other person and yelled:

"You, you unfilial son..."

"Manager Li, call all the shop assistants here and kick them out immediately. If anyone resists, just beat them with a feather duster. Don't worry about anyone's face!"

Fu Qiuyang's patience had reached its limit. He simply opened the shop door and strode out.

He had only one thought in his mind, which was to meet Shangguan Yunxin immediately and explain everything to her and her family.

Being accused of having an affair with his father's concubine was a stain that he would never be able to erase in his life, his greatest shame, and the thing he least wanted the people he cared about to know.

But now, old wounds have been reopened, and there is nothing she can do but face him.

But when he thought that the engagement he had finally been waiting for would most likely be cancelled, his heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.

In order to save his own face, his father only told others that the reason he kicked him out of the house was that he was idle and disobedient, but the real reason was kept a secret.

Today's farce will never end so easily. Given Bai's personality, he will definitely make the ugly incident of that year known to everyone.

Who made his good father want to take him back? !

Fu Qiuyang rode at full speed all the way to the outskirts of Beijing. Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Mr. Liu stopped arguing and took his wife and daughter back to the inn where they were staying.

After the couple entered the room, Bai massaged the old man's shoulders and said:

"Master, why are you doing this? What happened back then is a done deal. Brother Yang still doesn't repent and hasn't learned his lesson. Why should we bother to do something that would make him feel uncomfortable?

In my opinion, we don't need to be soft-hearted. We can just use what happened back then as a threat and ask him to hand over Shangpin Pavilion, right?"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes began to shine, her hands kept moving, and she continued:

"Just now in the shop, I heard the servant named Li mention something called 'Miss Yunxin'. Maybe she is the one that this evil creature is thinking of.

Maybe this evil guy has climbed up the social ladder and doesn't want to acknowledge you as his father. But if the girl knew about his past, she would definitely turn against him.

so……"

She kept kneading Mr. Liu's shoulders, but suddenly found that the muscles under her hands were getting stiffer and stiffer, and her hands were hurting. So she paused and asked in confusion:

"master?"

Old Master Liu clenched his teeth tightly, his whole body tense. This vicious woman actually gave him such a terrible and rotten idea, just to take his son's hard work for herself!

How come he didn't realize before that his wife, who was always gentle and graceful, could be so vicious and cruel? !

He stood up suddenly, glared at Bai and scolded:

"Bai, do you know what nonsense you are talking about?!"

Bai's body trembled when he was yelled at, and his eyes immediately turned red. He asked aggrievedly:

"Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry all of a sudden? Brother Yang is a bad kid, and you can't vent your anger on me!"

"Shut up, don't blame everything on Yang'er! I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said, and you are not allowed to mention this matter again.

If there are any rumors out there, I will definitely hold you responsible!"

The quarrel between the two became louder and louder. Liu Zeyu, who was locked in his room preparing for the battle, knocked on the door impatiently and then walked straight in.

"Dad, Mom, what are you arguing about? My son will be taking the imperial examination in less than half a month. It would be fine if you couldn't help him, but why are you causing more trouble?!"

Seeing his eldest son's attitude towards him, Mr. Liu became even more angry:

"If your family hadn't helped you, would you have come to the capital half a month earlier and stayed in such a nice inn? You don't even remember how much money your family spent on your studies over the years?"

"Money, money, money, Dad, you only talk about money. You and mother paid for my education, didn't you, so that one day our family could get rid of the status of merchants? What's wrong with spending some money? Can't you just go and earn more money?"

Bai also followed closely and echoed:

"Master, please don't vent your anger on Yu'er. What if it affects his preparation for the exam? You can't ignore Yu'er just because that evil creature has made money and climbed up the social ladder!"

Bai usually treated her eldest son as her own flesh and blood. In order to let her precious son study under a famous teacher, she spent money like water over the years.

It can be said that she placed all her hopes in this life on her eldest son, and no one could influence her son's imperial examinations, not even her husband!

But Master Liu was already dissatisfied with his first wife and eldest son. He was even more angry when they said this. He blurted out the following words without thinking:

"Humph, they say that reading can make you wise, but you have become a bookworm who is lazy and doesn't know the difference between grains! That would be fine, but you actually start to look down on the father who pays for your education. You are really capable!

If you still can't make the list this time, you might as well go back to being a teacher, and don't expect me to waste money on you anymore!"

"master!"

"father!"

The mother and son screamed at the same time, especially Bai, who felt an unprecedented crisis. Could it be that the master was determined to take back that evil creature and not care about his own legitimate son? !

……

Fu Qiuyang ran all the way to Cuiwei Mountain and confessed his most unbearable past to Shangguan Chong and his wife, as well as Shangguan Yunxin.

It was so painful back then, but now he only needed a few words to explain the whole thing. After he finished speaking, he lowered his head, suppressing the fear and helplessness in his heart, waiting for the other party to give the final judgment.

But after waiting for a long time, he still didn't hear any sound, so he looked up in confusion. He saw that the three people looked calm and composed, and even had the leisure to drink tea.

He looked at the three people helplessly, and finally stopped his gaze on Shangguan Yunxin, and asked nervously:

"Xin'er, are you still willing to get engaged to me?"

Shangguan Yunxin looked at this haggard handsome man. He was so dazzling, but at this moment he exuded inferiority and helplessness.

She sighed softly with heartache.

"Brother Qiu Yang, since you were framed, why should I care? Go back quickly and remember to prepare everything. Don't miss the auspicious time for our engagement tomorrow."
