Chapter 172 Right and Wrong
Li Rusong spoke calmly, "The fact is that the Qin family broke the contract, but it was not because of character problems, but because the business failed and it was difficult to continue . Qin Huai was only fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, and he resolutely took on the burden of the family. In just over six years, he managed Qin's business into a well-known large business in Jiangnan. Everything started because of a misunderstanding, which made the Qin and Wan families restless for more than ten years."
Su Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to tell the truth that Master Wan wanted to cancel the engagement. In this era, people don't believe in true love, and it's no joke that a woman who has already decided on her life is secretly having an affair with a man.
Wan Yangui smiled faintly and bowed to Su Luo, "I didn't expect that Miss Su not only has a talent for business, but also a talent for confusing right and wrong."
To be honest, Su Luo felt the most sympathy for Wan Yangui. His sister died with regrets and his father died of illness due to guilt. However, sympathy does not mean that what they did was entirely right, nor does it mean that the battlefield where Wan Yangui was fighting was just and Qin Huai was despicable.
Undoubtedly, Qin Huai was wrong in this matter. If he had told the truth when the Wan family sent someone to inquire, perhaps there would be no subsequent incidents, and he would not have had any grudges against the Wan family. He might even have become good friends with Wan Yangui. But what if Qin Huai's elder brother was not dead? If Qin Huai's elder brother was not dead when Master Wan sent someone to find the Qin family, he would still abide by the covenant and marry Miss Wan, and Miss Wan would still end up with regrets. Because to her, Qin Huai's elder brother or Qin Huai was just a name, a name other than the person she loved.
If Qin Huai knew that the Wan family actually wanted to cancel the engagement and that Miss Wan had someone in her heart, would he still do this? This assumption is of course not valid, because the incident has already happened, but Su Luo believes that it is not only Qin Huai who caused this tragedy, but also Master Wan. That is why Master Wan fell ill and could not get up. He was not blaming others, but blaming himself for not fighting for his daughter's happiness once. Even if he was rejected after he said it, the subsequent resentment would become reasonable, but he did not say it. He just kept silent after receiving the betrothal gift from the Qin family, and then married his crying daughter to them, and then felt guilty and heartbroken, and then died.
The only good thing about the whole thing is that some people can be resentful openly. The dead are dead, but Wan Yangui is still alive. He naturally puts all his resentment on Qin Huai because Qin Huai killed his sister and his father.
Perhaps Su Luo would always defend Qin Huai, so she would often think that it was not just Qin Huai who was wrong.
Su Luo smiled and said to Wan Yangui: "I can't draw, and I don't know much about color matching, so I don't know what the effect will be after reversing black and white."
The Queen Mother asked in confusion: "What do you mean by confusing right and wrong? Is there another hidden secret?"
Su Luo smiled and said, "Luo'er doesn't know. If there is any other hidden secret, please tell me clearly, Master Wan."
Of course Wan Yangui couldn't speak of the reason. He hid the anger in his eyes caused by Su Luo , bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "I spoke out of turn. It was because Qin Huai married my sister that he was able to revive the reputation of the Qin family with the help of the Wan family. Therefore, I am dissatisfied."
Today's story has been very confusing for the Queen Mother, and her patience has been exhausted. Now that her attention to this matter is coming to an end, she will not pursue Wan Yangui's unclear explanation. She just said, "Qin Huai and your sister are both pitiful people. You should also be considerate of them."
Wan Yangui had nothing else to say. He just nodded his head and said yes. Then he sat back at the table and remained silent.
Liu Chengxuan smiled and flicked the folding fan in his hand, and took the initiative to chat with the queen mother to break the silence. The queen mother obviously liked this nephew very much, and her words were always intimate. Su Luo, who was sitting aside, became worried. It seemed that Wan Yangui was angry again today. After the dinner tonight, she didn't know how he would deal with Qin Huai. It would be easy to deal with Qin Huai. At most, Qin Huai would leave, but this Wan believed that she was in the same group with Qin Huai and was against her business everywhere. She didn't know what troubles she had caused in the past ten days. If she waited another ten days or half a month... It was not that she didn't believe in Su Jiang's ability, but Liu Chengxuan dared to charge hundreds of thousands for a meal. What else could he not do?
No! She must find a way to leave the palace.
Li Rusong was at a loss after receiving the signals from Su Luo's eyes. The Queen Mother said that she would hold ten dinner parties, and today was only the fourth. If the banquet was not completed, would the Queen Mother release the people?
Liu Chengxuan saw Su Luo remained silent, and then looked at Li Rusong who was also silent. The two of them exchanged glances. Liu Chengxuan smiled and took out something from his sleeve, holding it in his hand and shaking it, "Last time we parted, Miss Su gave you a silver hairpin. I am not talented enough to accept your kindness, so I return it with both hands."
Su Luo was stunned, and looked at the hairpin in his hand, almost rolling her eyes. "Give it as a silver hairpin"? Su Luo wanted to stab him to death with this hairpin at that time!
But this guy is really mean. He knows why today's event was held, but he still did this. The three players who arranged the board opposite him would probably think that Su Luo failed to express his love and was rejected. Oh... and the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother hadn't lived such a gossipy life for a long time. It felt so good to have gossip, as if she had returned to the harem full of gossip thirty years ago... Now the gossipy harem had nothing to do with her.
"Xuan'er, could it be that you and Luo'er..."
Liu Chengxuan pretended to smile mysteriously, stood up and went to Su Luo's desk to return the hairpin, "I really failed to live up to your kindness, young lady."
Su Luo took the hairpin, and while smiling falsely, she thought about how she should respond. Tell the truth, and say that this thing is actually used as a murder weapon? It doesn't seem good to turn hostile on the spot, and besides, the Queen Mother is here, and it is her territory anyway.
Li Rusong suddenly spoke up, "I didn't know the relationship between Miss Su and Brother Liu, so I was rude just now."
Su Luo was stunned again. This "relationship"...
Liu Chengxuan was also surprised and looked back at Li Rusong. He had used this move because he saw Wan Yangui's defeat and wanted to embarrass Su Luo and Li Rusong. He didn't expect that this seemingly arrogant young general would retreat without a fight.
Su Luo smiled. She finally figured it out. It turned out that it was unrealistic for her to get her out of the palace through Li Rusong. Liu Chengxuan was more realistic.
"Empress Dowager." Su Luo gave Taishou a shy smile, "Luo'er has a few words to say to you alone."
When the empress dowager saw that there was more gossip, she had no reason to refuse and immediately took Su Luo to the side hall.
Liu Chengxuan walked up to Li Rusong and looked at him for a long time, shaking his head and saying, "There is a conspiracy, there is a conspiracy. I am confused now. Is it you or Qin Huai who is related to Su Luo?"
Li Rusong smiled lazily and shook his head, "Neither of them, it's you."
