The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 9 Gentleman
Soon Qin Ye went to inform Qin Keqing, while Jia Rong sat in the living room drinking tea and waiting.

Three years ago, Jia Rong started to take action and constantly ruined his ex-wife's marriage.

Although he did not follow the development of the original novel and married another woman, Jia Rong had no intention of letting go of the beautiful woman who was supposed to marry him.

Lin Daiyu, on the other hand, didn't feel anything and never paid any attention to that aspect.

Without Jia Zhen, there would naturally be no dirty things happening, but Qin Keqing herself is also a beauty, and thinking about this, no one wants her to marry someone else.

So he often ran twenty or thirty miles over to cause trouble, and especially yesterday he came in the dark and beat up her younger brother.

Now I feel I am too old to wait any longer to come here.

Jia Rong himself would be tired if he continued to cause trouble for the Qin family every night.

After three years of covert harassment, it’s time to stop.

Qin Ye's family had a hard time because of their bad reputation. Now that someone wants their daughter, they are naturally happy.

Soon Qin Ye brought out two women, one was obviously a maid and the other was a young lady.

Jia Rong had seen her from afar before, and now when he saw her up close, he couldn't help but get excited.

Qin Keqing was bright and charming, graceful and slender. Even when she wore clothes that were not too bright, she could give people a bright feeling.

Especially after the two of them looked at each other, their eyes were quickly filled with lust.

Jia Rong said quickly: "Uncle, as the saying goes: A melon that is forced is not sweet. Can you let me talk to the young lady alone and know her feelings?"

On the one hand, Qin Ye was anxious to marry his daughter off, but on the other hand, he felt that the handsome young man in front of him was sincere.

"Okay, you guys chat, I'll go check out the backyard."

Jia Rong asked the two servants to go down, and the maid also went down consciously. In the end, only Jia Rong and Qin Keqing were left.

Qin Keqing was standing aside. She didn't dare to look at Jia Rong just now, but now she secretly raised her head and looked at him again. Their eyes met again.

A pair of charming peach blossom eyes are full of spring love, and a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes are full of smiles.

"Miss Qin, you are so beautiful." Jia Rong stood up and walked to Qin Keqing's side.

Qin Keqing turned around and said, "Young Master, you are really good at talking. My father said that you are the master of Ningguo Mansion and have passed the imperial examination. How can a poor girl like me be worthy of you?"

"She's worthy of you." Jia Rong hugged Qin Keqing and pressed his body against her graceful body. "I thought I would take you home today and love you well."

Qin Keqing quickly took two steps forward to avoid him, blushing and saying, "Sir, why are you like this... I haven't even entered the door yet..."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Miss, you are right. I am anxious. We are both not young anymore. If you have no objection, I will set a date with my uncle so that we can get married sooner."

Qin Keqing has been trapped at home alone for more than three years, and her old father has been worried about her marriage for several years. Now that someone is willing to marry her, and he is such a young and noble man, how could he object?

"I'll listen to my father." Qin Keqing agreed to the marriage in a low voice.

Jia Rong said happily: "Okay! I will discuss this with my uncle right away!"

Soon Qin Ye came out again, and when he saw the looks of Qin Keqing and Jia Rong, he knew that there was no suspense in the matter.

"Uncle, when do you think we should pick up the bride? I think the sooner the better!" Jia Rong said it directly. He didn't want to postpone it to another day, but today.

Qin Ye was finally relieved at this time, and said with relief: "I need to find someone to calculate my birthday and find a good day. I will also call my relatives and friends to celebrate."

Although Jia Rong is a lustful person, he is also a frugal person.

You can spend money, but you also have to see if it’s worth it.

"Uncle, although I am not afraid of scoundrels, I am afraid of what people say. If we hold the wedding in a big way, it is inevitable that the neighbors will be jealous and gossip about it."

Qin Keqing and Qin Ye were both startled and started to worry.

Qin Keqing looked at this side nervously, she knew her family's reputation.

I was deliberately framed during the past three years and at one point I thought I would never be able to get married.

Now that we see the light at the end of the tunnel, how can we give up? Naturally, we want to do it as quickly as possible.

Qin Ye had a similar opinion, "My dear nephew, what you said makes sense. We really can't make this a big deal. It won't be good if others find out. We're afraid it will tarnish the reputation of Ningguo Mansion." Qin Keqing became even more anxious when she heard this, and she looked at Jia Rong with pleading eyes.

Jia Rong pondered for a moment and said quickly, "I think it is better to do it today than to wait for a day. I will take the young lady back to Ningguo Mansion today. We won't hold the wedding yet. When I catch that sinister villain, my uncle's family will be cleared of all charges. Then we can hold the wedding in style."

"If uncle trusts me, I will take Miss Qin back. It just so happens that I came here in a sedan chair today."

Before Qin Ye could say anything, Qin Keqing took the initiative to say, "I haven't been out for the past three years. Even if I were seen by someone, they wouldn't recognize me."

Seeing his daughter being so proactive, Qin Ye became even more afraid of rumors.

Jia Rong said at this time: "Uncle, don't worry. I know you have another son. All this money and silk will be given to you and your son. Uncle, please solve your daughter's problem first, so that it won't delay your son's marriage in the future."

"Besides, uncle, don't worry. I will definitely protect Miss Qin's innocence. I still have my wife at home, and there is no shortage of beauties in the mansion. If I don't catch the thief, how could I, a man, do such a despicable thing? Uncle, don't you trust me?"

Facing Jia Rong's questioning, Qin Ye hurriedly said, "I can trust you, I can trust you."

After more than ten minutes, Qin Keqing packed her things, said goodbye to her father, and left the Qin Mansion in Jia Rong's sedan chair.

Qin Ye came back to his senses and felt that something was very abnormal.

But after thinking about it carefully, I couldn't figure out what was wrong.

What he thought about the most was Qin Keqing's performance just now, which made Qin Ye feel ashamed and even felt that some of the rumors were true.

It would be a relief to marry off a daughter like this.

When Qin Ye thought that he was marrying up, and when he returned to the house and saw a box of silver and betrothal gifts, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At last a major concern of mine has been resolved.

Ningguo Mansion

Qin Keqing entered the Ningguo Mansion in a daze, and suddenly felt that the sedan chair stopped.

"Ms. Qin, we've arrived."

When Qin Keqing came out of the sedan chair, she found herself standing in a large courtyard with high walls.

There were more than ten maids standing around her, and each of them was wearing prettier clothes than her, and even the things on their heads and faces were better than hers.

"You can get off now." Jia Rong asked the sedan bearer to get off, and then said to Qin Keqing, "I have prepared ten maids for you. You can tell them what each one does when they are free."

"Ruizhu, Baozhu."

When Qin Keqing was at a loss, Jia Rong called out the names of two maids.

Two maids dressed in peach pink clothes came out, "Master!"

After getting married, Jia Rong naturally became the master of the mansion, and now that Jia Yuanchun was pregnant, it was a bit inappropriate to call him Young Master.

"This will be your grandma from now on."

"Yes! I've met Second Grandma!"

Qin Keqing nodded and said, "Okay."

Jia Rong said to her, "I have a wife at home. She knows that I am taking a concubine. I will go and talk to her. You go and take a bath and change your clothes. I will come to see you in the evening."

They had clearly agreed at home that they would not do such a thing, but at this time Qin Keqing had just married into a wealthy family, so naturally she wanted Jia Rong to be by her side.

"Okay...but should I go and pay my respects first?"

Qin Keqing knew that she was a concubine, an aunt, and that she came from a poor family, so she had to be more respectful.

Jia Rong smiled and said, "She has been busy these days, and she doesn't live far away. I will stay with you for the first half of the night and go back in the second half."

"Just listen to me. Go in and eat first, then take a bath and change your clothes, and wait for me in bed. You are still a grown-up girl, and you don't have your family to tell you about daughter matters. I will ask the lady's maid to come over and tell you what to do tonight."

Qin Keqing lowered her head and said, "Okay."
