Shoot at the Smoking Thing

"What's going on with you?"

Qin Fumeng was suspicious, but did not help Luo Jianshan up.

"Duke of Wei, I..."

Luo Jianshan pointed with a face full of grief and indignation at Luo Qingyuan, who was kneeling to one side, "This unfilial daughter! Yesterday, in order to save her son-in-law, she went to Lü Si to plead for him, but she accidentally got drunk and lost her virginity to Lü Si! I... I have no face to see you all..."

Luo Jianshan pounded his chest and stamped his feet, making a loud thud on his chest.

Qin Yu's face turned green upon hearing Luo Jianshan's words.

Damn it!

No wonder that grandson Lü Si went to the prison to find him, and even wore a bellyband while doing so.

As expected, that bellyband belongs to Luo Qingyuan, right?

That bastard went to the prison to kill someone and destroy their spirit!

The whole thing about him asking Lü Si to plead for him and accidentally getting drunk is utter nonsense!

Luo Qingyuan felt that he was doomed and was in a hurry to find another job!

That she-devil was absolutely right!

Qin Fumeng glanced sideways at Qin Yu, his gaze somewhat... vicious!

After a long silence, Qin Fumeng, barely suppressing his anger, picked at his ear and chuckled as he stared at Luo Jianshan. "What did you just say? I'm old and hard of hearing, I didn't hear you clearly!"

Luo Jianshan felt a sense of foreboding and tried his best to look guilty. Just as he was about to say something more, Qin Fumeng kicked him hard.

"puff!"

Luo Jianshan spat out a mouthful of blood and flew more than three zhang away, his body crashing heavily to the ground.

"Have you gotten too cocky? Or has this old man become too weak to wield a knife?"

Qin Fumeng finally snapped, taking another step forward and stomping his foot on Luo Jianshan's face, roaring like a bully: "I'm asking you a question, dare you not answer?"

"Cough cough..."

Luo Jianshan coughed up blood again, filled with grief and indignation.

He does want to say something!

But Qin Fu had his mouth firmly pressed down, so he couldn't say a word!

That old scoundrel!

He was an official appointed by the imperial court; did the other man want to kill him?

"father!"

Luo Qingyuan cried out and rushed over in a panic, hugging Qin Fumeng's leg and sobbing, "Grandpa, I was trying to save Thirteen too, I..."

"Get out of my way! Who said you're my grandpa?!"

Qin Fumeng kicked Luo Qingyuan far away, then glared angrily at Qin Yu, "I can't afford to lose face like this! You handle it yourself! If you don't handle it well, I'll chop you up first, then drown this bitch in a pig cage!"

Without giving Qin Yu a chance to speak, Qin Fumeng stormed off in a fit of rage.

Seeing Qin Fumeng leave, Luo Jianshan and his daughter finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Jianshan grabbed Luo Qingyuan and made her kneel down, then cried out to Qin Yu, "My dear son-in-law, I'm so sorry..."

"So, you're here to break off the engagement, right?"

Qin Yu directly exposed Luo Jianshan's purpose.

Qin Yu was very unhappy.

The Luo family is a merchant family.

During the reign of the late emperor, the vigorous development of foreign trade led to an improvement in the status of merchants.

But the old man still looked down on Luo Qingyuan, the daughter of a merchant.

It was only after I threatened to kill myself that the old man swallowed his pride and went to the Luo family to propose marriage.

After their engagement, the old man helped Luo Jianshan obtain an official position as a steward of the Jiangzhou Textile Bureau and also helped the Luo family become imperial merchants, greatly enhancing the Luo family's status in the capital.

Now that he's just gotten himself into some trouble, the Luo family pulls this stunt?

That damn traitor!

ungrateful!

Luo Jianshan quickly shook his head, "It's not a annulment of the engagement, it's a substitute marriage!"

As he spoke, Luo Jianshan pointed to the woman standing in front of Luo Qingyuan with her head bowed and said, "Qingyuan is no longer worthy of you. That is my elder brother's daughter, Luo Qingyi. If you, my worthy son-in-law, are willing to accept her, I am willing to let her serve you in place of Qingyuan..."

Such a substitute marriage?

Gee!

That's really shameless!

To call an annulment of an engagement a substitute marriage is just like calling marrying a rich man a social climb.

He did know who Luo Qingyi was.

However, Luo Qingyi's parents died early, and now the power of the Luo family is in the hands of Luo Jianshan.

She was treated like a beast of burden by the Luo family.

Qin Yu beckoned Luo Qingyi over with a flick of his finger, "You don't have any objections to replacing Luo Qingyuan?"

Qin Yu looked Luo Qingyi up and down.

Knew it!

Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse.

Previously, Luo Qingyi dressed very simply. At first glance, he thought she was just average-looking, but had a great figure.

His appearance today surprised him.

"no."

Luo Qingyi looked at Qin Yu calmly, without making a fuss or resisting.

She didn't flinch at Qin Yu's aggressive gaze.

It's as if it's saying: Come on, you beast!

"Okay, she's the one!"

Since that was the case, Qin Yu readily agreed.

Luo Jianshan was overjoyed and was about to speak when Qin Yu changed the subject, "However, I have one more condition!"

Is this spendthrift son after money?

Luo Jianshan frowned slightly, but put on a guilty look, "You said we would do our best as long as it's within our capabilities!"

Qin Yu stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "Give me your family's restaurant by the Qujiang River as an apology! And this must be kept secret! I can't afford to lose face like this!"

Although the restaurant wasn't doing very well, it was still quite large.

This is Wanjia Restaurant!

"well!"

Luo Jianshan agreed without hesitation.

That restaurant was the Luo family's biggest investment failure!

He had wanted to sell it for a long time, but no one was willing to take it over.

Giving it to this good-for-nothing in exchange for breaking off the engagement is a steal!

"Then let's have a written agreement!"

Qin Yu snapped his fingers and immediately summoned someone to bring the Four Treasures of the Study (writing brush, ink stick, inkstone, and paper).

Soon, Luo Jianshan wrote down the transfer agreement and stamped it with his seal and fingerprint.

Qin Yu readily asked the old man for the marriage contract and burned it in front of them.

Seeing the marriage contract burned to ashes, Luo Jianshan and his daughter almost flew away with joy.

Qin Yu both answered the imperial edict and stole peaches from the Empress, which temporarily saved his life, but the downfall of the Qin family should only be a matter of time.

Even though I got kicked by Qin Fu, it was all worth it as long as I could break off the engagement!

"From now on, you're mine!"

Qin Yu turned to look at Luo Qingyi.

"I see."

Luo Qingyi nodded, her face remaining completely expressionless.

"No, you don't understand!"

Qin Yu shook his head and smiled, "Now that I, the young master, am protecting you, why don't you settle your scores and avenge your grudges?"

Ok?

Luo Qingyi was slightly taken aback, then realized what was happening and looked at Qin Yu with a questioning gaze, somewhat surprised.

"What are you still standing there for?"

Qin Yu pointed at Luo Jianshan and his daughter, "Go, slap them twenty times each!"

Luo Qingyuan suddenly raised her head and looked at Qin Yu in disbelief.

How could this be?

She thought Qin Yu would cry and shout that he would forgive her and pretend that nothing had happened!

She had it all planned out. She would put on a melodramatic show, saying that she also wanted to be with Qin Yu, but that she was no longer good enough for him. Then she would stage a scene of crying her eyes out and call off the engagement.

But now, things are completely different from what she expected!

Luo Jianshan was also at a loss for words after Qin Yu's words, "Son-in-law, you..."

"Who the hell is your son-in-law?!"

Qin Yu interrupted Luo Jianshan, annoyed, then glared at Luo Qingyi with wide eyes, "If you don't even dare to hit him, you shouldn't be following me!"

"You heard that, it was Young Master Thirteen who told me to do it!"

Luo Qingyi gave Luo Jianshan and his daughter a bright smile, then suddenly raised her hand to slap them.

Snapped!

A resounding slap landed on Luo Jianshan's face.

Luo Jianshan flew into a rage, his eyes blazing as he glared at Luo Qingyi: "I am an official appointed by the imperial court, how dare you hit me?"

Without saying a word, Luo Qingyi slapped him again, but Luo Jianshan dodged it.

"Still dare to hide?"

Qin Yu revealed a wicked smile, "If you dare to hide again, I'll have Big Hammer take action!"

Qi Da Chui!

Luo Jianshan suddenly shuddered.

With that muscular build of a hammer, one slap could knock out several of his teeth.

"Thirteen, I only got drunk because I wanted Lü Si to plead for you. How could you... how could you do this?"

Luo Qingyuan was crying and sobbing, looking pitiful.

She still thought that this good-for-nothing would still love her to death.

Unexpectedly, he became enraged!

Men, they really are all big pigs!

"Your tea-making skills need improvement!"

Qin Yu looked at Luo Qingyuan with a mocking expression, "At this moment, you should be clinging to my leg, crying and shouting: 'Hit me! Kill me! I have no face to live anyway...'"

Hearing Qin Yu crying out in Luo Qingyuan's tone, Luo Qingyi couldn't help but chuckle.

Isn't this the one who's madly in love with Ai Luo Qing Yuan?

Why the sudden change of heart today?

"What are you laughing at!"

Qin Yu's domineering aura surged wildly, "Attack! Attack the smoking ones!"
