Chapter 203 Parting on bad terms
"Sir Shen, you have overestimated the temptation of power and underestimated the backbone of the Qin family. Although my Qin family is from the countryside and I have made mistakes in the past, it is not your turn as an outsider to judge us."
"I would like to ask, does your Shen family like to act as matchmaker so much? Previously, Madam Shen intervened forcefully, and now Lord Shen is trying so hard. Could it be that your Wu'an Marquis Mansion has fallen so badly that you need my sister to arrange a marriage and seek benefits for your Shen family?"
Qin Ziyan's words were not polite at all. Having been used to Qin Ruo's infuriating speaking style in the past, he was also somewhat influenced by her.
Since the other party is shameless first, what's the point of talking about reason?
What's the difference between Shen Junxing's current arrogant look and Old Madam Shen's?
Sure enough, we are not a family, we don’t enter the same family.
Shen Junxing's face changed slightly when he heard this. He had never expected that Qin Ziyan would reject him after talking to this extent, and his words were so harsh. How could he have the upbringing of a scholar?
Shen Junxing was already feeling a little embarrassed, and felt that Qin Ziyan was somewhat ungrateful.
Wu'an Marquis's family, with their long history of meritorious service and noble family, was so unbearable in Qin Ziyan's eyes? It turned out that he lacked education after staying in the countryside for too long, and could not be compared with the son of the king in the capital.
There was a hint of disappointment in Shen Junxing's eyes. After all, he had overestimated his sister's son.
That's the other party's perspective.
Shen Junxing originally thought that since his sister Shen Ruyi could not let go of her obsession with the Qin family, he would lend a helping hand to the Qin family, which would be considered as making up for his debt to Shen Ruyi over the years.
Shen Junxing tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and wanted to give Qin Ziyan another chance.
"Do you think that since Qin Ruo has been named Princess Ning'an, your Qin family can rest easy from now on? It's just an empty title! How much water is there in it? You are a person who is familiar with the books of sages and has also learned policy essays. You should have a basic understanding of the situation in the court."
"What is your sister good at? As far as I know, your sister has never read a book for a day. She was made a princess just by luck. Are you so proud of yourself? You are too young after all."
Shen Junxing's words were unconsciously mixed with the arrogance of a superior.
Qin Ziyan found it particularly funny. In the past, he was ignorant of the world and acted arrogantly in front of Qin Ruo, just like Shen Junxing today.
It was not until he was severely beaten that he realized how terrifying Qin Ruo's true strength was.
She is the first person who can solve Mr. Mingjing's chess game.
Not to mention calligraphy and painting. He secretly took Qin Ruo's calligraphy and paintings to the teacher in the academy for appraisal. Even the teacher praised them immediately and asked about the person who painted the paintings.
As for the piano, although he had never seen her play it, based on his understanding of his sister, she would not be short of it.
The most important thing is that Ajie doesn't need to rely on these to make a living, they are just a pastime for her.
The title of princess that Shen Junxing mentioned was just icing on the cake for my sister.
If Shen Junxing had asked more, he would not have the face to say such words.
Qin Ziyan had no interest in the Marquis' Mansion, and didn't want to have anything to do with the Shen family at all. The identity of the Marquis's grandson had no appeal to him.
There was really no point in talking to each other, so Qin Ziyan suddenly didn't want to continue talking to Shen Junxing.
"Lord Shen, let's stop here! I hope that after you leave this door, you will never have anything to do with our Qin family. You should save your kindness for those who need it. It is really useless in my Qin family." Qin Ziyan stood up and ordered him to leave.
"Can your words represent the Qin family? Let your sister and I talk." Shen Junxing sat there without moving. Unable to persuade Qin Ziyan, he tried to start with Qin Ruo.
Qin Ziyan laughed again: "Master Shen, I am sorry that I cannot obey your order. Unfortunately, my elder sister has just gone on a long journey. But she has told me that if Master Shen comes, I should tell him that she will settle the matter of your ladyship forcing her to be a matchmaker when she arrives in the capital in the future."
"By the way, my sister also asked me to tell Lord Shen that I hope Lord Shen won't stretch his hands too far, because it's easy to break if you stretch your hands too far. Lord Shen, please don't worry about the Qin family's affairs. And since Lord Shen is here, it's just right. My Qin family has been supporting those people in your house for a while, and they need money to eat and drink. Your Wu'an Marquis's house is big and powerful, so I'm sure you won't default on your debts. I'll trouble Lord Shen to settle this expense."
"These are what my sister said." Qin Ziyan added, then pulled out an account book from under the table and handed it to Shen Junxing.
Looking at Shen Junxing's face turning red and white, he felt inexplicably refreshed.
Shen Junxing took the account book with a stiff expression. Qin Ruo's words were extremely arrogant, and she did not take the Wu'an Marquis Mansion seriously at all.
Since the opportunity has been given and the other party doesn't appreciate it, then let it go.
He wanted to see how far the Qin family could go without the support of his Shen family.
Shen Junxing took out a silver note, slapped it on the table, and turned to leave.
"Sir Shen, I will send someone to the inn tomorrow to inform you to pick up the people. The Qin family does not want to continue to support those useless people for you."
Qin Ziyan shouted at Shen Junxing.
Shen Junxing paused slightly, but did not look back, and quickly left Xunyu Ji.
The next day, Shen Junxing finally met the group of people led by Nanny Tian who were sent by Tang Qingmei and Old Madam Shen at the place designated by Qin Ziyan, a remote empty house in Taihe County.
Nanny Tian's eyes were filled with fear. She knelt on the ground and kept shouting, "Miss Qin, I was wrong. Miss Qin, please spare my life. I was ordered by Madam..."
The other spies, guards, and maids, however, had dazed expressions and showed no reaction at all to the arrival of Shen Junxing and his party.
Qin Ziyan, however, looked like a good person and explained to Shen Junxing.
"At first, this person who claimed to be the Shen family's nanny said that she was ordered by the Shen family to come to match my sister. She was determined to match my sister to the scoundrel in Zhou Village and wanted to force my sister to go to the Zhou family. She even hired assassins to deal with my Qin family. Fortunately, my sister has some ability to protect herself. I'm afraid Lord Shen will not see the assassins sent. As for these people who belong to your Shen Mansion, please take them away and deal with them yourself."
Qin Ziyan's nonchalant words made Shen Junxing tremble with fear.
He only knew that Tang Qingmei forcibly interfered with the Qin family's marriage, but he had never heard that she also sent assassins.
"We in the Qin family are reasonable people. To avoid being accused of slandering your Wu'an Marquis Mansion, here are the letters these people exchanged with your Marquis Mansion. The evidence is irrefutable. Even if Lord Shen wants to deny it in the future, or wants to deal with our Qin family, we are willing to fight to the end."
"Sir Shen, I have something important to attend to, so I'm sorry I can't see you off." Qin Ziyan smiled and turned to leave.
