Chapter 294 - The Framing of the Qin Manor (2/2)

He only said that he wanted to find someone he loved and he had to save himself for her. Mo Yufeng had teased him many times because of that.

However, he also knew that if Qin Yufeng did not want to marry that woman, nothing would happen. He patted his chest and said, “Yufeng, you are too kind. Are you worried that our relations.h.i.+p would be affected if I listen to those rumors? Rest a.s.sured. I understand. You are a good friend. I will not bear any grudges towards you because of this incident and I will treat the lady well. You can rest a.s.sured.”

“But the rumors will turn up eventually. You will be implicated then…” There was a trace of laughter in Qin Yufeng’s eyes. However, he sounded more and more touching. He turned the fan he held in his hands over and over, looking as if he were being put in a difficult place.

“Don’t worry about it. Since you told me about it today, I would take responsibility for it. Anyway, the most they can say is that you have an affair with the young lady. I will accept this. I will get my father to ask for her hand when I return. I will say that I have an affair with the lady and she is pregnant with my child. If I do not marry her, she and the child will die.” Mo Yufeng promised once again. He was going to give his all for this marriage.

He was worried that Qin Yufeng would not believe him and would marry the girl himself.

Then, he ignored what Qin Yufeng was about to say. He stood up and went to look for his father, leaving Qin Yufeng behind in the teahouse. He hurried back to the Mo Manor.

Qin Yufeng paid for the tea and strolled out of the teahouse leisurely. He boarded a waiting horse carriage which sped out of the bustling city and into the Qin Manor.

He got off the horse carriage at the Qin Manor and saw that the butler’s eyes lit up when he saw Qin Yufeng. The butler hurried up and said, “Young Master, you’re back. Old Madam was very angry just now and even scolded Master and Madam. They are waiting for you inside right now!”

“Is that family around?” Qin Yufeng entered unhurriedly while he played with the folding fan in his hands.

“Old Madam tossed them out long ago. They swore that they would not let you off and will crush you. They are even going to complain to General Ding.” The butler was astonished by the fuss. He did not expect the seemingly wealthy and honorable family would have a matriarch who would behave like a shrew. She had yelled and screamed and rolled around on the ground.

The Qin family was a family of scholars and had never seen anything like that. The Old Madam had been so angry she had almost fallen over. She kept shaking her hands and telling the servants to throw them out. She was naturally venting her anger on Qin Yufeng’s parents.

Qin Yufeng and the butler arrived at Old Madam Qin’s courtyard. A maid had already gone in to report their presence. He had only just entered the room when something flew at him. Qin Yufeng dodged and a porcelain cup flew by him.

“Unfilial son, kneel down.” Qin Zheng’s expression was filled with rage and the veins on his forehead twitched.

“You are the unfilial son. How dare you scold your son? Kneel down.” Old Madam Qin banged the cane that she held on the floor angrily and scolded the man when she saw her beloved grandson almost being hit on the head.

The father and son had no choice but to kneel down.

“Father, Grandmother, don’t worry. The matter will be resolved tomorrow.” Qin Yufeng said unhurriedly.

“How dare you say that? You… with that sort of woman… I would not allow that sort of woman into our home even if I were to die.” Qin Zheng, who was kneeling in front of the Old Madam, turned around and yelled. He grew even more enraged when he heard that.

“Shut up and let Feng’er talk.” The Old Madam thudded the cane in front of Qin Zheng heavily. The cane made a thunk.

“Grandmother, the matter will not drag on past tomorrow. Someone will ask for that woman’s hand and she will no longer have anything to do with us.” Qin Yufeng looked up and said. There was not an ounce of worry in his expression.

“There is more than one person who saw that. Feng’er, you’d best think through this carefully!” Mdm Yu was very anxious as well. She hurriedly questioned Qin Yufeng when she heard that he had a solution.

“Mother, don’t worry. Even though there were many people who saw it, I covered my face with a fan when I came out. As long as there is someone who is willing to take responsibility, that woman will not hang on to me.” The Mo Manor was rather high ranking as well and the woman should be satisfied.

Mo Yufeng was willing to take responsibility, so that woman would not have any objections. When he thought of how the woman had appeared in his room out of nowhere, a hint of darkness flashed in Qin Yufeng’s eyes. He did not think that it was an unintentional mistake. Someone had appeared at the door and blocked his exit just as he discovered the woman whose clothes were in disarray.

That was too much of a coincidence!

With Qin Yufeng’s intelligence, he would naturally not believe that there was such a coincidence in this world. Someone was trying to frame him!

“Feng’er, it’s true that someone will take responsibility?” The Old Madam frowned in confusion when she heard that there was still a chance.

“Grandmother, Mo Yufeng sought me out earlier and said that he was willing to take responsibility. He likes that girl very much.” Qin Yufeng said with a smile and took the tea that a maid brought him. He gave it to the Old Madam and explained. “Grandmother, given Mo Manor’s status, it is already a good thing for that woman to be able to marry him.”

“Mo Yufeng? It can’t be!” Lord Qin said in surprise and doubt.

“Father, if you don’t believe me, come and see later. Rest a.s.sured, I will not allow that woman to enter our family.” Qin Yufeng guaranteed with a smile. Lord Qin’s expression relaxed slightly with his a.s.surance.
