Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 2542 496. Bazhen Jade Food (Cheng Huanran was honest and told the truth)

Cheng Huanran didn't know how to lie, and he was not very tactful. His eyes were fixed on the guqin on the stone table, but his mouth was hemming and hawing, and he couldn't explain why.

Following Cheng Huanran's eyes, Shangguan Marquis suddenly understood, and he explained -

"This is just a temporary loan, and I will definitely return it to Miss Yuan'er later."

Cheng Huanran withdrew his eyes and sighed helplessly. He was a person who couldn't hide things in his heart, so he asked.

"Um... Mr. Hou... do you really look down on my cousin? It turns out that you are more interested in this piano than you are in my cousin, right?"

After hearing this, Marquis Shangguan understood that Cheng Huanran had heard all the emotional words he and Qiu Long had just heard.

At this point, Marquis Shangguan was very embarrassed, but he still pretended to be calm and asked the other party: "Did Brother Cheng hear what I just said?"

Cheng Huanran looked into Marquis Shangguan's eyes and nodded.

Shangguan Marquis turned away and his expression darkened, and then he muttered in a low voice: "It seems that this person can't speak ill of others behind their backs. It's not good for others to hear him."

I never thought that Cheng Huanran, who had no eyesight, would expose his cousin's problem again.

"Actually...cousin Yuan'er also came with me...she heard Master Hou's words clearly."

Hearing this, Marquis Shangguan suddenly turned his head, stared in surprise and said, "What did you say? Miss Yuan'er also came with you... Isn't this... too embarrassing?"

Cheng Huanran said aggrievedly: "It's not too embarrassing. After listening to Mr. Hou's words just now, I just saw that Yuan'er's face was very ugly. She didn't say anything. She didn't even bother to look for Qin, so she turned around and left. …”

"Hey... this can be done! A girl's reputation is very valuable. After listening to these Chinese words, she will be embarrassed and unable to hold her head up in front of others... Also, Brother Huanran is also present, and Miss Yuan'er Wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing?”

Cheng Huanran shook his head helplessly: "How did I know that things would develop to this point? This morning she came to me and said that the guqin passed down from her family was lost. That was a big emergency! So I looked for the guqin with her. I searched everywhere to no avail. Then I heard the sound of the piano from your side. She and I followed the music and came here. As a result... no one is to blame! Just blame the horned dragon. Go ahead and steal it if it's okay. Taking someone else's guqin in a hurry? If such a joke is made now, I'm afraid that Yuan'er will not only hate Mr. Hou in the future, but also my eldest cousin!"

As he spoke, Cheng Huanran couldn't help but put his head up and sighed, full of regret.

Although Shangguan Marquis was extremely embarrassed, he was really unhappy when he heard that Cheng Huanran was blaming the horned dragon. He immediately transformed into a professional calf protector and defended his horned dragon.

"What's this weird horned dragon? He just wanted to please me. He saw that I was interested in the guqin, and he lent it to me to play a few tunes to get a kick out of it. In the final analysis, it was still my Marquis's problem. If I hadn't been there Qiu Long would not have shown too much interest in this guqin at the banquet."

"Borrowing...Does Mr. Hou really think this is borrowing? The so-called borrowing is with the master's knowledge and approval, and that is called borrowing. But at the moment, Qiu Long is borrowing without the master's knowledge at all. , took this guqin... According to the normal sense... this can be regarded as theft..." Hearing this, Shangguan Marquis was speechless. In desperation, he turned his head and glanced at Qiu Long behind him, who was aware of his mistake and guilty. , Although Shangguan Marquis felt a little heartbroken, he no longer stood to protect the other party.

"This... is ultimately Qiu Long's fault, but Patriarch Cheng thought that it was his first offender and he did it for me, so don't punish him too harshly."

"I'm not talking about this... After all, the person who surrendered is Cheng Yuan'er. If she is willing to reconcile, that would be the best. If she insists on pursuing the case, let alone this horned dragon. After all, this Guqin is a family heirloom of Yuan'er's cousin. I heard Yuan'er's cousin say that this Guqin is a priceless treasure. It took several generations to pass it down to her. If there is anything wrong with this Guqin, she will definitely not be able to spare the thieves... ...If we follow the rules of the clan, those who croak like cocks and dogs will be severely punished and will be expelled from this training platform. This horned dragon will probably stay in this training platform..."

Hearing this, Qiu Long's eyes flashed with panic, and then he realized the seriousness of the situation.

Marquis Shangguan was not panicked at all. Instead, he sensed a turning point in Cheng Huanran's words and immediately answered -

"As long as I beg her, Miss Yuan'er, and let her go, will this matter be reduced from a big deal to a trivial one?"

Cheng Huanran looked a little surprised. He obviously wanted to warn Qiu Long that what he was doing was wrong, but unexpectedly, the Shangguan Marquis heard the meaning of opportunism.

"This... this is the truth, but... Mr. Hou has made it so clear just now. I think... if you go to ask cousin Yuan'er again... my cousin may not pay attention to you... my cousin has a stubborn personality. It's so small-minded. You offended her and made her lose face. She must have a grudge against you. If you go and beg her now, she may not appreciate it."

Marquis Shangguan's eyes narrowed slightly, with a sophisticated expression on his face. He smiled meaningfully and said: "How can you know this kind of thing if you don't try it? In short, Marquis Qiulong is willing to give it a try."

Saying that, Shangguan Marquis immediately held the guqin in his arms and rushed to Cheng Yuan'er's place to plead guilty.

Seeing this, Cheng Huanran was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to block the way of Marquis Shangguan with his body.

"Why is Young Master Hou so impatient? This means that wind is like rain? Yuan'er is very angry at the moment. Aren't you going to look for trouble and scratch her brow? If I say, Young Master Hou, why don't you go to Yuan'er for the time being? After letting her think about it, Mr. Hou will not be too late to go."

Shangguan Marquis indeed simply rejected Cheng Huanran's kindness: "I think differently from Brother Cheng. There are stages for women to get angry. Although their tempers are strong at this time, it is the best time to coax them. If I go over Well, I just let her scold me. After she scolded me, the anger in her heart subsided, and she would no longer vent her anger on the horned dragon. And if we follow what Brother Cheng said, I would first leave Miss Yuan'er alone. , when she was alone thinking about this matter, she would inevitably get into trouble. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. If this woman became stubborn, a big knot would form in her heart. The bigger the knot, the worse her temper. This matter We can’t delay, we will have to face it sooner or later. If we deal with this matter sooner, we will get results sooner, which will relieve the depression in Miss Yuan’er’s heart..."

"Does Mr. Hou really think so?"

"Of course, don't worry! It's absolutely right to leave this matter to me."

Marquis Shangguan is quite confident when it comes to dealing with interpersonal relationships...
