Chapter 651: In The Face Of Danger, He Finally Knew
But…
Because of Old Master Han’s question, the room fell silent for a moment.
Hua Wuyan did not dare to say anything.
Qin Shu was silent.
Old Han’s sharp eyes swept across the room and his gaze swept over Hua Wuyan. He had grown up with Han Xiao since young and they had a very good relationship. He knew that.
He only paused for a moment before moving his gaze away and landing his gaze on the woman beside Han Xiao.
He saw an unfamiliar face and very old-fashioned glasses. It was very low-class and distasteful.
Old Master Han’s sharp eyes narrowed slightly. He glanced at Han Xiao and asked, “Is she your guest?”
Han Xiao glanced at Qin Shu beside him and nodded. “Yes, she’s a friend I met in the imperial capital. Her name is Qin Shu.”
Old Master Han glanced at Qin Shu a few times before shifting his gaze to Han Xiao. “Didn’t you always say that you won’t marry except for that woman? Since I’ve come to Qi Hua, why can’t I meet her?”
Faced with Old Master Han’s pressure, Han Xiao said, “I don’t intend to marry her.”
Old Master Han heard Han Xiao’s words, that was that he didn’t want to show her.
Even though Old Master Han had experienced countless storms, he was still angered by his grandson’s attitude.
“Are you trying to fool me?”
Han Xiao’s expression was calm. “I’m not fooling you, grandfather. Rong Yan and I are not suitable.”
Old Master Han’s heart ached from his grandson’s anger. He wanted to comfort himself, his own grandson, his own grandson, his own grandson! ! ! !
“Since you don’t think Rong Yan is suitable, and you don’t intend to let that woman come to see me, then I’ll give you three choices.”
Han Xiao raised his head and looked at Grandfather Han. He saw the determination in Grandfather Han’s eyes and had a bad feeling.
Grandfather Han said in a low voice, “The daughter of the Yue family, the daughter of the Huo family, and the daughter of the Fan family, choose one yourself.”
Han Xiao had not finished thinking when he heard Grandfather Han’s urging words. He was somewhat helpless.
“I don’t choose any.” The tone of his reply was very firm and certain.
Old Master Han was a little angry. “You have to choose one this time. Give me an answer tomorrow, or I’ll choose for you.”
Qin Shu didn’t understand why Old Master Han was in such a hurry to get Han Xiao engaged and then get married.
She couldn’t help but say, “Grandpa Han, why are you forcing Han Xiao? Can’t you see that he’s not willing at all?”
Then, she lowered her voice again, “Grandpa Han has experienced great storms and waves, so what he has seen and heard must be many compared to us juniors. Marriage is not a children’s game, and it is not a matter of one person, but rather a matter of two people’s lifetime, and we can not make a hasty decision.”
As soon as Qin Shu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room that was originally filled with depression became a little tense.
Hua Wuyan turned his head and looked at Qin Shu in surprise.
Han Xiao also looked at Qin Shu. In his calm eyes, a brief flash of surprise surfaced.
Hearing this, Old Master Han looked at Qin Shu again and couldn’t help but size her up a few more times.
Compared to before, he took a rough look.
This time, Old Master Han realized that this seemingly ordinary woman had some guts.
“You want to say marriage autonomy?” Old Master Han laughed. “If he can find a granddaughter-in-law that suits my heart in a short period of time, I will let him have marriage autonomy.”
Qin Shu was stunned. Grandfather Han was clearly making things difficult for her.
Han Xiao pursed his lips and spoke. “Grandfather, in my current condition, I will not marry anyone.”
“I gave you more than seven years and indulged you for seven years. This time, I will not indulge you again.”
Grandfather Han did not want to say anything more. This time, he was determined to make this grandson harden his heart. He did not want to wait for another seven years. He could not wait that long either.
After saying this, Old Master Han turned around and left.
Even with Old Master Han’s departure, the pressure in the room couldn’t be alleviated for a while.
Han Xiao pursed his lips and was silent.
Hua Wuyan looked at Han Xiao helplessly. In these seven years, Old Master Han had indeed never cared about Brother Han and allowed him to move freely outside.
But now, Old Master Han could tell with one look that it was for real.
Qin Shu’s gaze wandered on Han Xiao and finally landed on his leg. Her expression was a little complicated.
After a long silence, Han Xiao suddenly said, “You guys go back. Don’t come over for the next two days.”
Hua Wuyan looked at him worriedly. “Brother Han, what do you plan to do?”
Han Xiao said, “I have my own ways.”
In the end, Hua Wuyan brought Qin Shu out of the Han Manor.
On the way.
“The old master is serious this time. Brother Han, he…”
Hua Wuyan turned his head to look at Qin Shu, wanting to say something but stopping.
Sensing Hua Wuyan’s gaze, she looked over in confusion.
Hua Wuyan sighed helplessly. “Who can convince Brother Han to marry a woman he doesn’t like? If it were in the past, he wouldn’t be willing. Now that his legs are inconvenienced, he even more wouldn’t be willing.”
Qin Shu was silent.
Back at the Hua Manor, Hua Wuyan had just sent Qin Shu to Hua Chao courtyard when he received a call from Grandfather Han.
Seeing the caller ID, he had a bad premonition.
After picking up the call…
He asked, “Grandfather Han, why are you calling me?”
Grandfather Han chuckled. “I have something to ask you. Come over.”
“Understood, Grandfather Han.”
Hua Wuyan put away his phone and sighed. He turned to look at Qin Shu and instructed, “The doctor will come over later. Ask him to take a look at you, I’ll go out for a while.”
Qin Shu glanced at Hua Wuyan but did not reply.
Hua Wuyan turned around and left after he finished speaking.
Qin Shu retracted her gaze and also turned around to walk into her room.
Qin Shu had just rested for a while when someone knocked on the door.
When she opened the door, she saw the maid outside.
The maid lowered her eyes and nodded. “Miss Qin, the doctor is here. Young master said that he would like him to take a look at you.”
Recalling Hua Wuyan’s instructions before he left, Qin Shu said, “There’s no need for that. Let him go back.”
The maid was a little troubled. “Miss Qin, you haven’t eaten much recently. If you feel unwell, let the doctor take a look at you.”
“I’m really fine. Let him go back. If Hua Wuyan asks, just say that I don’t like to let strangers treat me.”
If Gu Yan were here, Qin Shu would definitely let him take a look. Her appetite had not been very good recently.
The maid hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and turned to leave.
After the maid left, Qin Shu walked into the room and sat down on the Imperial Consort’s chair. Then, she laid down and felt a little drowsy.
Just as she felt sleepy, there was a knock on the door again.
“Knock, Knock…”
She stood up and opened the door. Standing outside the door was still the maid who was taking care of her daily life.
“Miss Qin, these are the oranges that I just bought, it’s a little sour. Young master said that you like to eat it, so he specially prepared it,” The maid said gently.
Seeing the oranges, Qin Shu’s eyes lit up. “Thank you. Bring it in.”
The maid brought a plate of oranges in and placed it on the table.
Qin Shu followed her in. Her gaze fell on the maid as she thought of the cat fur and paw prints in the room.
The maid had always been in charge of the sanitary chores in Hua Chao’s courtyard. She worked here all day, so she might know a little.
She pretended to ask casually, “Is there a pet in the house? I saw cat fur in the room this morning.”
