Jing Yu didn't take it seriously, "I gave you the jade pendant because I hope you will wear it. Otherwise, I will give you a Bodhisattva next time and you will just keep it in your room every day."

Qian Xue lowered her head in silence and did not speak.

Jing Yu doesn't care, but she cares. If she has to leave the house in the future, she will have to return such valuable things. If they are damaged, it will be difficult to deal with them.

Jing Yu was used to her being silent at all times, so it wasn't a big deal and he just let her be.

The carriage quickly arrived at the door of Qi Mansion, but this time Mr. Qi did not greet him personally. Jing Yu was welcomed in by the butler waiting at the door.

Jing Yu bowed politely, but Qi Hanyan's expression was not good.

"I thought Lord Xiao Jing would come over as soon as possible after leaving the court, but I didn't expect that I would have to wait for a while. Lord Xiao Jing is really very arrogant."

Jing Yu smiled and stepped forward to apologize: "It's all the fault of this junior. I hope my uncle will forgive me."

Qi Hanyan did not reply to Jing Yu's words, but instead turned to Qian Xue who was behind Jing Yu.

"This maid deserves to be taken seriously by you. You really have to take her with you wherever you go."

Qi Hanyan's tone was critical of Qianxue and dissatisfied with Jing Yu, and his eyes towards Qianxue were full of contempt.

Jing Yu moved to block Qi Hanyan's sight, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, "Who doesn't have a few people around him who are easy to use? You think so, Butler Hu?"

Jing Yu smiled and looked at the manager of the Qi Mansion who had just led him in.

Butler Hu felt a little embarrassed for a moment and couldn't help but look at Qi Hanyan.

When Qi Hanyan saw that Jing Yu insisted on comparing the two of them like this, he could only snort. He also understood that some things should not be said too much. He was not Jing Yu's real father-in-law.

Qi Hanyan motioned for Jing Yu to take a seat and talked straight to the point about what happened yesterday.

"Yesterday, my good nephew specially sent something to my house. It should have been a kind gesture from my good nephew. It's a pity that my servant is useless and misremembered the name of the recipient of the gift. It made a little joke, but it was not good."

Qi Hanyan looked at Jing Yu with a false smile at this moment, "I understand very well. How can my daughter's maiden name be known to outsiders casually? It's understandable that I misremembered it for a moment."

He said it politely, but actually he wanted to save face for Qi Lingyao. The servant who came to deliver the fish last night not only mentioned Qi Lingying's name, but also specifically said it was for Miss Qi Liu.

How could this be an accidental misremembering? It was clearly intentional.

However, for the sake of Qi Lingyao's face, and for the two families to successfully negotiate the marriage, Qi Hanyan took the initiative to pass the ladder to Jing Yu.

But Mrs. Qi couldn't swallow this breath. Her eyes were swollen from crying yesterday, and her voice was hoarse when she sobbed in her arms. She would not let go of this opportunity to rub Jing Yu off.

"Of course outsiders don't know the girl's maiden name, but we have to get engaged, and if we can remember the wrong name, it's just because we look down on our Qi family, so we don't take it seriously."

When Qi Hanyan heard his wife speak like this, he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. They were having a good conversation, why did he suddenly say this.

He couldn't help but pull his wife's sleeve under the table.

Mrs. Qi ignored Qi Hanyan's actions and continued to say with a smile: "But my nephew is different. He specially sent something. It can be seen that he values ​​​​the girl in my Qi family."

After hearing this, Qi Hanyan breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face grew again. "It's just that my Yao'er has always been pampered by me. If I let her leave me casually, I'm afraid I won't be able to let her go."

Her tone was soft, and her eyes were smiling, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She seemed to have glanced at Jing Yu and Qian Xue behind him inadvertently.

She was angry in her heart. She was nothing more than a cheap maid, and Jing Yu looked at her like an eyeball every day. If this danger could not be eradicated now, she didn't know how her daughter would be wronged if she married her.

And the dead girl who ate her daughter's fish will also be beaten up for a while, and then Jing Yu will humiliate her severely and humiliate her in public so that he can vent his anger on Yao'er.

Jing Yu watched Mrs. Qi chanting and beating in front of him, and said with a normal expression: "Miss Qi is a person who is piled with gold and jade. Auntie can't care enough for her and care for her too much."

When Mrs. Qi saw something going on, she wanted to ask Jing Yu to deal with Qian Xue.

Unexpectedly, Jing Yu didn't give her a chance to interrupt. He changed the subject and continued, "If you want to choose a husband for Miss Qi, I have a few good candidates who can be introduced to the second elder to check."

All Mrs. Qi's words were stuck in her throat at this moment.

She twitched the corners of her mouth, and then asked in a somewhat difficult voice, "What are you talking about, nephew?"

Jing Yu smiled freely and looked like he didn't care at all, "I respect my uncle and aunt, and I am naturally willing to do what I can to share the worries of the two elders. If my aunt feels that it is inappropriate, then there is no harm in keeping Miss Qi for a few more years."

Mrs. Qi looked at Qi Hanyan with an ugly look on her face. She was still angry, so how could Jing Yu still look like he refused to get married.

Qi Hanyan did not comfort Mrs. Qi, but glared at Mrs. Qi, blaming her for turning a good thing into what it is now.

Qi Hanyan was also very unhappy. At his age, he still had to make amends with a junior.

If it weren't for the fact that the East Palace had not shown up in recent years and the Fourth Prince's faction had risen rapidly and seemed to be suppressing them, he would not have thought of asking the Qi family to take sides.

"This matter will be discussed later. My dear nephew, let's try the hooded stone flower I just arrived. Is it still eye-catching?"

Jing Yu followed Qi Hanyan's words and took a sip of the freshly brewed tea. It was sweet and tender, and the sweet aroma was mixed with a hint of mellow chestnut aroma. It had a very special taste.

Jing Yu looked at the tea soup and couldn't help but smile. Qi Lingying and Qi Hanyan looked like father and daughter in some ways, like their love for tea tasting.

Jing Yu was not in a hurry to speak. Although the fourth prince asked him to contact the Qi family in the beginning, based on the current development trend of the fourth prince, it was obvious that the Qi family needed the fourth prince to rely on.

Qi Hanyan's expression changed several times, but he finally chose to break the situation by himself.

"Actually, I and my wife have similar thoughts. My Yao'er is indeed loved very much. If possible, I would like to keep her for a few more years."

Qi Hanyan spoke slowly while looking at Jing Yu's expression.

Seeing that Jing Yu remained motionless, as if it was none of his business, he couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.

Mrs. Qi was also a little panicked at this moment, and gently pulled Qi Hanyan's sleeves, with obvious help in her eyes.

Qi Hanyan put down the tea cup in his hand and continued to say with a smile: "It's just that this matter of marriage is about fate. If we meet the right one, we will never stop Yao'er's happiness."
