Chapter 105 Entanglement
Seeing the man slip away like a mouse, his hands stopped shaking, and the expression on his face gradually became gloomy. His gaze moved from the running back to the surroundings of the hall, from the armchairs on both sides to the blue bricks and granite on the ground, to the screen on the right and then to his square table, staring at the cup of tea.
The circle is the body and the ring is the confinement. No matter how turbulent the water in the cup is, it cannot spill out.
But if the bottle is broken, without the ring, the water will spill all over the floor.
The smooth bottle body will turn into sharp porcelain slag, and the red liquid will be hard to tell whether it is more water or blood.
……
The scene returns to the time when the Qin family broke off the engagement.
Ling Junfei, who was dressed in purple, stood up in the hall and glared at the man on her left. "Qin Ruhai, you must have been kicked in the head by a donkey! You want to send Qingqing to the palace!"
"Have you forgotten how Lianyi died?"
Lu Shizhang stood up and patted Ling Junfei's back, soothing her, "Let's hear what Lao Qin has to say first."
The man had gray hair and was obviously much younger than Lu Shizhang, but the tired look on his face did not match his age at all.
His expression was numb and his face was pale.
"You can scold me all you want, but Ah Qing is determined to enter the palace."
Ling Junfei's eyes were red, and Lu Shizhang held her tightly and yelled at Qin Ruhai.
"I didn't ask you to speak up to get scolded! Why don't you tell me the reason?"
"I miss her, I really miss her so much." He stroked his sword tassel. The color was very old, but in his eyes it still looked the same as before. Tears had already blurred his eyes, but when the tears dripped onto his wrists, he hurriedly and carefully wrapped up the sword tassel and put it in his arms.
"Brother Lu, Sister Junfei, just pretend that you didn't rescue Qin Ruhai back then. He and Lianyi died in that fire together. Okay?"
Ling Junfei was not pulled back after all, so she went up and slapped him, "So why did you drag Qingqing with you?"
"She doesn't know anything. Who are you to make decisions for her?"
"Besides! The man you want her to marry is her biological father's brother! Compared to that beast, how noble are you?"
Ling Junfei screamed hysterically, and Lu Shizhang walked out the door and told Zhang Bo not to get close. The servant in Lu Yan's room happened to see this and ran away in a hurry.
Uncle Zhang looked at Lu Shizhang, who shook his head. "Forget it. It's such a long distance, let him be. He's Yan'er's side after all."
Qin Ruhai lowered his head in front of Ling Junfei. "The older Ah Qing gets, the more I lose control of myself when I look at her face."
He seemed to be crazy, crying and laughing, "I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and kill her child."
"Why? It's been thirty years, and I still can't let go! My senior sister was supposed to stay with me forever, and our master clearly agreed... Maybe we could be like you, loving each other with quarrels for the rest of our lives, and have a child of our own." His eyes were empty, with a hint of a smile on his lips.
As the door closed, Lu Shizhang spoke, "Qin Ruhai, wake up. Back then..."
"Lianyi was willing to go with him." Ling Junfei said calmly.
Lu Shizhang looked at Ling Junfei. He watched her with calm eyes as she walked towards Qin Ruhai step by step without haste.
"You hate Li Shaoan. You hate him for interfering in her affairs. You hate him for bringing her back to the palace. You hate him for abandoning her and being unfaithful to her. You hate him for being the real murderer who caused her death..."
"You hate us for saving you and not letting you burn with her. You also hate Qiu Lianyi for giving her and that man's child to you to raise."
"You still hate her because the person in her heart is not you."
His pupils suddenly shrank, and the noisy sounds around him disappeared, leaving only his own heavy breathing. He shook his head desperately, covering his ears with both hands, his expression struggling and painful.
"No, she said she regretted it..." He knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, cold sweat streaming down his forehead. "She said she regretted it." He took out the sword tassel from his arms and held it tightly in his hand. "She said she regretted it." A trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes. "Yes, she said she regretted it. She said that if there is a next life, she wants to marry me."
As if he had regained his confidence, he quickly stood up and faced Lu Shizhang and Ling Junfei, "Brother Lu, Sister-in-law Junfei, I want Ah Qing to enter the palace not only to disgust them, but also because I want to avenge Lianyi and for our beliefs."
"Back then, our external forces were disrupted by the imperial power. In order to avoid being completely wiped out by them, you devised a method of splitting up the branches, dividing each clan and faction, dispersing them to various places, and establishing new factions."
His face was calm as he explained his plan in a clear and logical manner. "I believe that allowing Ah Qing to enter the palace is equivalent to inserting a chess piece into the center. Over the years, I have already transferred most of the side branches of the Zhongzong Hall here. We only need to wait for an opportunity so that our people can infiltrate the imperial city."
"You want to rebel?" Lu Shizhang frowned.
Qin Ruhai lowered his head, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm not that stupid. A few dozen heads against tens of thousands of imperial guards in the palace."
"I just want to know what Li Shaoan felt when he knew that his brother's favorite concubine was his daughter with Lianyi. I want Ah Qing to avenge her mother with her own hands, hahahahahaha..." He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger.
"Then what is your position as Qingqing?"
"She's called you dad for sixteen years, Qin Ruhai, you don't have a heart, do you?"
Qin Ruhai was silent for a moment, "Those people were used to help her escape. I just want him dead, Ling Junfei, I just want Li Shaoan dead!"
Ling Junfei clenched her fist. Lu Shizhang stepped forward and held her hand. He looked at Qin Ruhai and asked, "Did you tell Qingqing about what happened back then?"
Qin Ruhai turned his head away and kept silent.
"If you want to do this, you don't even dare to tell the person involved." Lu Shizhang stared at him, "Qin Ruhai, you know how despicable your behavior is, but you still choose to do it. We have nothing to say."
"After all, your grudges are no longer something we can resolve with just a few words. If you insist on doing this, as an old friend, I'll give you one last piece of advice: the path you're about to take is a dead end, and it will take with it your entire clan, its branches, and Qin Nianqing."
"She could have known nothing and lived a carefree life in this small town. She could have married a good husband and enjoyed decades of prosperity. But you insisted on dragging her into this mess. Qin Ruhai, I hope you won't regret it."
Qin Ruhai's lowered hand trembled slightly for a moment. He raised his eyes to look at him, and a curve appeared at the corner of his lips.
"No regrets."
Qin Ruhai opened the door. The light outside the window was so bright, but the person Lu Shizhang and Ling Junfei saw was so lonely.
"Qin Ruhai, from today on, the Qin and Lu families have no further ties. We will be strangers. We will say that you are greedy and vain in breaking off the engagement, and we will not interfere with your plans. But we only hope that you can respect that little girl, tell her the truth, and give her the right to choose."
"She entrusted her child to you because she believed you could take good care of her. You raised her. We are all outsiders. You are her true relative."
Qin Ruhai paused for a moment, then walked out of Lu's residence without stopping, and then a silver bell-like laughter came towards him.
"Dad, why are you so slow? I just saw a very handsome man!"
The little girl took Qin Ruhai's arm and raised her palm-sized face, which was as bright as a lotus, with graceful eyebrows, slightly raised corners of eyes, and red lips, which exuded a natural charm.
She really looks more and more like Li Shaoan.
Qin Ruhai touched her hair lovingly, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"You're already so old, but you're still so excited to see your handsome brother. What will you do when you get married?"
Qin Nianqing pouted and held Qin Ruhai's arm in a spoiled manner, "I won't get married. I want to stay with Daddy forever!"
"Besides, didn't Daddy come here today to cancel the engagement? Even if I, Qin Nianqing, want to marry, I want to marry the best person in the world! Like Daddy!"
Qin Ruhai's arms stiffened, a trace of pity flashed across his face, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Daddy is not the best person."
A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, as if he had finally come out of his tangled mood. "Ah Qing, Nian Qing. We haven't left the Lu residence yet. Lu Yan is also a good kid. If... you can still regret it now."
"I won't marry. Although Brother Lu Yan was very handsome when he was a child, I haven't seen him for a long time." The little girl looked around quietly and whispered in his ear, "They all say that Brother Lu Yan is doing something outside and doesn't dare to come back. Although I believe he is not that kind of person, I don't want to be a widow in the future!"
Qin Ruhai smiled indifferently, "It's up to you."
He felt ridiculous. He was the one who made the decision, and he was the one who felt sympathy. He asked her if she regretted it, but she knew nothing. Qin Ruhai, Qin Ruhai, do you really want her to regret it or not?
You really are...pretentious. He covered his face and laughed softly. Qin Nianqing frowned, not knowing what was wrong with his father. Why did he laugh like he was crying...
Ling Junfei stood at the door, looking at the father and daughter, "Why didn't you stop him this time?"
Lu Shizhang stood behind her, and the gazes of the two men turned to her face.
"We can't stop him. He's still holding a grudge. We can stop him once, but not twice or three times... Now we've established our own independent community. We're no longer the lonely people we were back then..."
He tied up her hair, they were both old.
Unable to bear the heavy consequences.
"Jun Fei, I know you feel bad, but we are not only responsible for that little girl, but also the entire Lu family."
"The sisterhood between you and Qiu Lianyi was repaid when you were young."
Ling Junfei closed her eyes. Yes, when she was unwilling to entrust the child to her but Qin Ruhai, she understood that the friendship between them... was over.
