Chapter 610: Stupid
Editor: Atlas Studios
The moment Qi Haoran received Mu Yangling’s letter, he excitedly opened it. He had just read the first letter when his face froze. He widened his eyes and looked back and forth twice before confirming that he had not seen wrongly.
“I didn’t hear Zijin mention that Uncle vomited blood.” Qi Haoran muttered and tried his best to recall, but he still couldn’t recall if this was in the intelligence report.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally went to look for Fan Zijin with a cautious heart and specially got someone to prepare good wine and dishes.
Fan Zijin had just returned exhausted. When he saw this, he raised his eyebrows and sat at the table. “You’re in a good mood today.”
Qi Haoran chuckled and poured some wine for Fan Zijin. “Cousin, you’ve lost weight these few days. Eat more.”
Qi Haoran tried his best to put Fan Zijin’s favorite food on the table into his bowl. Fan Zijin was originally eating quite well, but when he heard this, he blocked his chopsticks and said, “If you have something to say, say it. It’s useless to please me.”
After a pause, he said, “I don’t have money now. Can’t lend you any.”
“I’m not borrowing money from you.” Qi Haoran’s chopsticks took a detour and still picked up some food for him.
Fan Zijin pondered. “Don’t tell me you’re here to return me money?”
Qi Haoran immediately did not dare to speak. He lowered his head and ate the meat. Fan Zijin kicked him and asked, “What exactly is it? Tell me.”
Qi Haoran said gloomily, “Cousin, Ah Ling is a straightforward person who doesn’t know how to scheme. Sometimes, when she does something stupid, she doesn’t even realize it. Don’t lower yourself to her level.”
“Oh, how rare. Didn’t you always think that she has intelligence unrivaled by others? Why are you saying that she’s stupid now?”
Qi Haoran blushed slightly and muttered softly, “Isn’t beauty in the eye of the beholder?”
“It’s rare that you know this sentence.” Fan Zijin poured himself a glass of wine and asked slowly, “Tell me, what did she do to let me down?”
“Who said that she did something to let you down?” Qi Haoran instantly said angrily, “If she did something to let you down, I definitely won’t let her off.”
Fan Zijin looked at him suspiciously. “If she didn’t do anything to let me down, why are you so careful?”
Qi Haoran, who had just puffed up his chest, instantly bent down. He glanced at Fan Zijin carefully and whispered, “It wasn’t Ah Ling’s intention, but she accidentally did something to let you down. But Cousin, you have to know that she didn’t do it on purpose. She was wholeheartedly protecting you…”
“Alright, alright.” Fan Zijin felt a headache coming on. “What did she do to let me down?”
Seeing Qi Haoran hesitate, Fan Zijin couldn’t help but slam the table and shout, “Speak!”
“She made Uncle vomit blood from anger.” Qi Haoran closed his eyes and shouted. He immediately opened his eyes and said indignantly, “I often say that she doesn’t think before she does things. Those who know better would say that her heart aches for you, Cousin. Those who don’t know better might think that she has a deep grudge with you. Cousin, really, Ah Ling didn’t expect Uncle to be so easily angered. At that time, she just couldn’t stand it and said a few words. Who knew that Uncle would vomit blood? Don’t worry, when she arrives, I’ll definitely teach her a lesson and make her not dare to speak nonsense again.”
Fan Zijin, who had wanted to say something, instantly fell silent.
Thinking that Fan Zijin was blaming Mu Yangling, Qi Haoran hurriedly patted his chest and said, “Just you wait. When she arrives, see how I deal with her. I’ll definitely scold her until she cries for her parents and won’t dare to speak nonsense again.”
Fan Zijin said faintly, “You said it yourself. When the time comes, I’ll go and watch. The moment you see her, you’ll scold her until she bursts into tears. If she doesn’t cry, you’ll take in a concubine.”
“How can you do this?” Qi Haoran shouted. “You clearly know that I promised Ah Ling that I wouldn’t take a concubine for the rest of my life.”
Fan Zijin snorted. “So I’m giving you a choice now, right?”
Qi Haoran tried his best. “Ah Ling cries very fiercely and furthermore, it’d be in public…”
“It’s okay. I can wait until you guys get home and dismiss all the servants. I’ll watch you scold her until she cries.”
What was wrong with him?
Qi Haoran almost flew into a rage. After a long while, he finally asked, “Can you give me another choice?”
“What choice? Take in a concubine? Coincidentally, didn’t Chief Ji’an want to marry his daughter to you? By taking in that one, you can also take the chance to contribute to the Imperial Court.”
Qi Haoran held his breath and said, “Change it!”
“Then take in ten mistresses.”
Qi Haoran glared at Fan Zijin. “Ah Ling helped you reject the Virtuous Concubine that Uncle wanted you to marry. You… if you do this, Ah Ling will get mad…”
“Oh, you actually still remember this. How rare,” Fan Zijin said mockingly. “I thank Ah Ling, but I didn’t say that I wouldn’t take in concubines in the future. I just said that I wouldn’t let a concubine’s son be born before the legitimate son.”
Fan Zijin tilted his head and looked at Qi Haoran. “Why don’t you move to the military camp for three months after Ah Ling comes here?”
Wouldn’t that make him a ‘bachelor’ for three months? And that was when Ah Ling had come here to be with him.
Qi Haoran was conflicted. Fan Zijin said calmly, “One concubine or ten mistresses.”
Qi Haoran gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, I’ll move to the military camp for three months.”
Fan Zijin pursed his lips in disappointment. “You’re not going to reconsider? You can even scold Ah Ling until she cries. To be honest, I’ve known her for so many years, but I’ve never seen her cry.”
Qi Haoran lowered his head and buried it in his bowl, trying his best to eat.
Fan Zijin pursed his lips regretfully. “You’re all bark and no bite. I thought you were so tough that you could really scold her until she cried.”
Qi Haoran angrily finished all the dishes on the table, including the soup. When Fan Zijin reached out with his chopsticks again, he realized that there were empty plates on the table, leaving only rice and wine. Fan Zijin pursed his lips and turned to shout outside, “Yanmo, get the kitchen to prepare another table of dishes.”
When he turned around and saw Qi Haoran rubbing his stomach, he scolded jokingly, “You deserve it. You’re clearly a man, but you’re afraid of a woman. You’ve grown up in vain.” fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Qi Haoran was not in a good mood at all. He originally thought that he’d be living the life of a blissful married couple with Mu Yangling when she arrived, but in the end, he actually had to move to the military camp for three months. How tormenting.
On the other hand, Fan Zijin’s mood miraculously improved. After dinner, he went to deal with official business in high spirits.
Seeing Qi Haoran walk out with slumped shoulders, he cursed in a low voice, “Idiot.”
A few days later, Qi Haoran came back to life and looked for Fan Zijin. “Cousin, I’ve made up my mind. I want to scold Ah Ling until she cries!”
He was really too stupid. He could have written a letter to inform Ah Ling first. When the time came, he could just symbolically scold her a little in front of Zijin and she could just play along and cry with all her might, right?
Fan Zijin looked up at him and said, “You only came up with this after thinking for two days? How stupid.” He leaned back in his chair and said, “Considering I even know exactly what she said to my parents, how could I not know that she made Father vomit blood from anger? If I wanted to blame someone, I would have done so long ago. Why did you come to apologize after a few days? Did you read the intelligence report carefully back then?”
Qi Haoran was stunned. Then, he jumped up and howled, “You lied to me!”
Fan Zijin said disdainfully, “Lie to you? I don’t want to lower my intelligence.”
