Chapter 142 Rather demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage
The Mutton Restaurant was opened in a lively market inside the South City Gate. After entering the restaurant, Su Wei realized why Qin Ye said that the store was not rich, but it was famous. There were three shops lined up with old doors and windows. It is even a little crooked, the four walls including the tables and chairs are full of smoky yellow colors, and there are more than [-] tables densely arranged, the tables and tables are full of people, and there is a lot of people talking.

She looked around and said to Qin Ye who had already ordered, "Didn't you say it's newly opened? Why does this restaurant look so old?"

"This is a ready-made restaurant. In the past, it sold beef noodles and also sold food. The owner of this place took down the restaurant last winter."

Speaking of this, Qin Ye lowered his voice a bit: "There are often people from all corners of the country coming and going here, including people from all schools and schools, as well as servants who work in the rich and powerful's mansion, and you can hear a lot of gossip."

Su Wei raised her eyebrows: "It turns out that you usually hear the news from here."

"That's not all. But I do come here often." Speaking of which, he waved his hand at the shopkeeper's wife, "Add a piece of braised sheep's hooves here!"

The glamorous proprietress replied "Okay", and immediately picked up a plate of sheep's hooves, twisted her waist and brought them to their table.Her eyes fell on Su Luo's face, and she smiled and brushed her apron: "Mr. Qin's friends brought back here really add luster to the store."

Qin Ye raised his lips cynically: "Why, is it not enough face for me to come alone?"

"What do you mean by that? You don't have enough face, who else do you want?" The lady shopkeeper seemed to be an active person. She put her expression away when she said this, glanced quietly to the side and back, and said: "Ming Chen Erye of General Wei's Mansion is here with a few companions."

Qin Ye followed her gaze when he heard the words.

Su Luo also poked her head, and saw four or five people sitting at a table against the wall on the opposite side. Although they were not very luxuriously dressed, it was not difficult to see that they were the children of the official family.

She withdrew her gaze and said, "Did you have a problem with them?"

"How is that possible?" Qin Ye said after the shopkeeper's wife had left, "Chen Er wants to marry my second girl, and she has passed her aunt's test."

Except for Qin Ye, all the children of the Qin family are concubines. The second young lady of the Qin family is the daughter of Qin Huo's third aunt Ruan, and now the inner house of the Qin family is in charge of this aunt Ruan.As for this Aunt Ruan, speaking of her identity, she is really a bloody person, and she is also a common source in the big houses nowadays. She is Qin Huo's distant cousin and the niece of the old lady of the Qin family.

When Mrs. Qin took her son back to Shanxi to visit her natal family, Aunt Ruan climbed onto Qin Huo's bed. When Mrs. Qin came back, Aunt Ruan was already pregnant.

The old lady of the Qin family beat up Qin Huo in front of Mrs. Qin, and ordered someone to pack up and send Ruan Shi back to Ruan's house. Return to Ruan's house with the baby in her stomach.

The old lady Qin wept and wiped away her tears, and after cursing, she turned her head and begged her daughter-in-law to forgive her, and let her accept this concubine magnanimously for the sake of seeing that Ruan was pregnant with an heir of the Qin family.If a child is born in the future, regardless of gender, it will be raised under her name.

Mrs. Qin agreed without saying a word.

Su Wei asked Qin Ye curiously why.

Qin Ye said with a cold expression that had never been shown before: "Before my mother gave birth to me, the Qin family already had a concubine and two concubines. After that, what's the difference if there is an extra aunt who crawls on the bed?"

So when Su Wei heard that the person surnamed Chen was related to Aunt Ruan, she immediately understood why the lady shopkeeper would tell him on purpose.

She said: "If this marriage is concluded, will it do you any harm?"

"Yes." Qin Ye looked at her, "My father kept a large part of my mother's dowry, and the Ruan family was poor when they entered my house, so they always wanted to take my mother's dowry.

"The second girl, as a concubine, is able to marry the son-in-law of the fourth-rank general's mansion, which is their high praise.

"So the Ruan family will definitely want to marry the second girl more beautifully, because only if the second girl has a firm foothold in her husband's house, can she help her compete with the fourth child for family property and status, and deal with me."

Su Luo straightened her waist unconsciously: "Why did he deduct your mother's dowry? Your mother passed away, so her dowry should be given to you."

"Who knows? Maybe he just wants to hold it back and save those bitches." The Qin family has a big business, so it's not covetous.

Su Wei thought for a while: "So it has been detained for more than ten years, and the relief has been exhausted long ago."

She didn't quite believe that Qin Huo would withhold the money and give it to his concubine. It would be too embarrassing to spread the word, and besides, he had to guard against impeachment by the imperial censor.

She asked, "Then how do you prepare yourself?"

Qin Ye looked at the table and snorted coldly: "Isn't the opportunity here? As long as their marriage fails, Ruan has no reason to blow my father's pillow and ask him to use my mother's dowry as a pawn." Second girl’s dowry.”

Su Wei followed his gaze and looked again, only to find that there was a cold light beside the seat surnamed Chen, and there was an unsheathed lancet.

She quickly withdrew her gaze and looked at Qin Ye: "What is he trying to do?"

Don't say that he is a girl, she doesn't understand these things outside, in fact, he traveled all over the world in his previous life, and he knows more than most men.

The surname Chen is a military commander. It is not strange to carry a knife. What is strange is that the blade is so dazzling, and it is unsheathed and placed on the side. It is not afraid of scaring others. This is obviously abnormal.

"Look at the clothes, at least three of the other four are the children of generals. I have been staring at them for a while now. They rarely talk, and most of the time they are buried in eating. It looks like they have to do something after eating. .”

Su Ruo also saw that several other people were neatly dressed.She agrees with his guess.

"So you want to see it too?" she asked.

The mutton pot has been served, smoking in the casserole.Qin Ye picked up a large piece of rotten mutton and put it in the bowl: "Since we bumped into each other, how can we not look at it?"

Su Wei squinted at him: "You are usually so timid, but now you are bold? You would rather demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage, so you can take it easy."

Qin Ye gave a slight sneer in response, then lowered his head and began to eat.

Even though Su Luo said that, she couldn't rest assured, she tried her best to look over there a few times in the middle of eating meat.

When I took a last look, I suddenly saw that the table had already checked out and got up.Looking at Qin Ye in front of him again, he also put down his chopsticks quickly, and called the waiter: "Check out!" Then he said to Su Wei: "I won't send you off, you go back first, if you didn't eat well today, I will pay you another day." Please again!"
