Chapter 115: Purchase Land and Build A House 6
When she heard that, a vein popped out on Qi Qingyao’s forehead. Jiang Yeqian’s words were befitting that of a leech, but said with such baffling confidence.
Qi Qingyao said, “Pops, not only have you lost your mories and owe money, you have enemies as well. You may be good at fighting, but if I let you stay beside , it’s like having a ticking ti bomb next to waiting to explode. If your enemies co in search of you, we’ll be hard too. It would be terrible if I’m drawn into that ss as well!”
Si Jin nodded seriously.
Jiang Yeqian was furious after listening to her words.
He was the Grand Secretariat of the Empire! In the imperial hall, all the officers had to bow in deference when they saw him. Although there was that slight issue of the State Preceptor sending assassins after him when he left for inspection this ti around…
Temporarily, he had to depend on Qi Qingyao for a living, but it wasn’t like he was a shabby companion. Apparently though, this woman had always wanted him to leave…
How shallow!
Plus she had the gall to say that he was a ti bomb too!
Jiang Yeqian was furious!
If he really left though, her wishes would be fulfilled.
Jiang Yeqian said, his face set, “You saved , didn’t you?”
Qi Qingyao retorted, “If you know that much, shouldn’t you be thankful to ?”
“Then you’re responsible,” Jiang Yeqian said decisively.
Qi Qingyao raised her brow, sowhat curious. “Responsible?” Was he expecting her to be responsible to the end?
Si Jin furrowed his little brow, deep in thought. “Responsible for what?”
“You’re responsible for before I regain my mories. Let go with you Elder Sister!!!” Jiang Yeqian imitated Si Jin by calling Qi Qingyao Elder Sister deliberately.
‘He imitated … Damn him. Ugh!’
“Was everything I said just now for f*cking nothing?” Qi Qingyao was starting to get angry.
She was so furious that she ate one more piece of braised pork rib. She then picked out the biggest piece and dropped it into her bowl before continuing, incensed, “Or is there sothing wrong with your ears?”
“There’s nothing wrong with my ears.” Jiang Yeqian had lost his appetite. He set his bowl down. Looking at the woman’s face, he decided that he could not be too aggressive. Instead, he should take a softer approach. He said earnestly, “To be honest, I’m being considerate of your interests too. Think about it carefully. You’re now carrying a large amount of money, and you’re a weak woman too…”
“I’m not a weak-minded woman, thank you very much.” Qi Qingyao rolled her eyes calmly.
“Weak-minded?” Jiang Yeqian felt like Qi Qingyao could always rile him up easily. “I ant in the physical sense.”
“Oh, be clearer next ti or I might think that you’re insulting .” Qi Qingyao started on the roasted chicken.
“Don’t interrupt . Hear out first.”
Jiang Yeqian looked at the woman eating voraciously in front of him and said sincerely, “You have three children with you. Can Si Jin alone protect one woman and three children? Can he deal with any bad people you happen across? Can you be sure that you’ll be able to erge unscathed if a dozen robbers try to rob you at the sa ti?”
“…” Qi Qingyao paused in the middle of spitting out a chicken bone.
Jiang Yeqian noticed that Qi Qingyao was considering his words. He continued, “What if soone set up a ploy to divert your attention from your children? Are you sure that you and this innocent boy can deal with it yourselves?”
Si Jin put down his bowl indignantly. “Don’t look down on . I’m quite capable.”
“You are.” Jiang Yeqian looked at Qi Qingyao earnestly. He said, “How about this? I’ll go with you, but you don’t need to pay . I’ll pay back my debt to you by working for you.”
Qi Qingyao said as she ate, “Work for ? Let’s say your monthly pay is five taels. If you sell yourself to , you’ll have to work for two hundred months, which is about sixteen years and eight months… This doesn’t even include the days you might want to take off, during festivals and all that! Sixteen years! Even Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu’s reunion took place in a shorter ti than that!”
“Yang Guo? Xiao Long Nu?” Jiang Yeqian appeared to be perplexed.
“Don’t mind that. To sum it up, I don’t want you to go with .” Qi Qingyao remained insistent.
