Chapter 41 Emotional Issues

  Tong Zhen fell, Du Hong was promoted, the situation evolved like this, and the two parties didn't understand the cause and effect, thinking it was just a coincidence. Only Xiao Gong Ye knew what was going on behind the scenes, Qin Kan's shadow of a weak scholar appeared vaguely, manipulating people in the dark...

  Xu Pengju was so angry that his teeth itched at the thought of this matter.

  In the big prison for two days, Xiao Gongye was a good person to the end, gave Du Hong a note, and personally went to speak well of Qin Kan.

  Du Hong was a good official, but not a foolish one. The young master had caused a big commotion in Shaoxing, and Du Hong didn't dare to not give him face. This kind of noble usually doesn't reason things out, it's not worth provoking him. Besides, Qin Kan at most had only instigated his daughter to resist the marriage, if you say he was guilty, it's really hard to sentence him. So Du Hong hesitated for two days and finally released Qin Kan.

  It's not that Qin Kan didn't appreciate it, but he always felt that Du Hong released him to celebrate his own promotion, similar to the grand amnesty of a new emperor ascending to the throne.

  Qin Kan is probably just a firework for celebration...

  Du Hongquan's family moved into the inner courtyard of the Zhi Prefecture, and they were overjoyed. Of course, Du Yan, who was under house arrest, was also moved to a different location for her confinement. Du Lao Da locked her up for four or five days without letting her out, it seems he was really angry. As the master of the prefecture, his daughter actually did something as shameful as resisting marriage, the Du family's reputation and prestige were severely damaged, and it would probably take more than a decade to recover.

  New official on duty, Du Hong was busy, and thus inevitably neglected the defense of the place where his daughter was detained, which gave a certain villain an opportunity to take advantage of.

  There was a small person with the surname Qin, warm and refined like jade, looking like a gentleman.

  Taking advantage of Du Lao's outing to visit various gentry in Shaoxing, Qin Kan sneaked into the inner courtyard of the prefectural government office.

  Du Hong's long follower, Zheng Bo, was guarding the door of Du Yan's house when he saw Qin Kan's familiar face emerge from the flower garden, smiling at him in a friendly manner. Zheng Laobo was stunned for a moment, then coughed loudly, as if thinking of something trivial that hadn't been done, and slipped away.

  Qin Kan thought his appearance was still quite likable and didn't deserve the ridicule from those two good-for-nothing fellows.

  The four sides were deserted, and Qin Kan quietly slipped from the flower garden thicket to the door of the room where Du Yan was being held.

  The doors and windows of the room were nailed with wooden boards, and a hole was opened in the middle of the door for convenient delivery of food. I don't know what Du Hong is thinking, does he not know his daughter's terrifying strength? If she really wants to escape, can a few wooden boards stop her?

  Witnessing Xiaobao's fists and feet, he broke the eight sedan chairs into pieces with a few moves, majestic and mighty as if descending from heaven, Qin Kan couldn't help but feel a chill.

  If this woman wants to get married, she must either give up her martial arts skills or no one will dare marry her.

  Thinking that he had actually messed up the woman's marriage, Qin Kan couldn't help but secretly blame himself for his lack of calmness. What if some gossipmonger were to get on his case in the future? The nature of this matter seemed even more serious than helping an elderly person who had fallen to the ground...

  Hesitating for a moment, Qin Kan even thought of turning around and leaving, but then he heard Du Yan's voice coming from the carriage house.

  "Qin Kan...... is it you? Have you come?"

  Qin Kan sighed: "How did you know I came?"

  Du Yan smiled mischievously: "I can smell your scent."

  Qin Kan smiled wryly: "You should really be a police dog and help your dad crack cases. Being an official's daughter is a waste of your talent."

  Du Yan's voice was somewhat low: "These days I've been locked up by Dad, and I don't know how things are outside. Are you okay?"

  "I'm in trouble, your father fired me..." Qin Kan said gloomily.

  "Huh?"

  "Your dad won't let me be his mentor anymore. Alas, he doesn't even remember how I helped him cheat others before. Your dad is really not a good person..."

  "Bastard! You're not human! Qin, your skin is itching again?" Du Yan was no longer calm.

  Look at this little woman's attitude, she doesn't even remember the kindness of ruining her marriage, neither the father nor the daughter is a good person...

  After a long silence, Du Yan spoke softly: "Qin Kan, don't be discouraged. After I'm released, I'll find another chance to plead with Father."

  "Don't beg for mercy, I plan to focus on making money from now on. Being a teacher is really a dead-end job." This was Qin Kan's inner monologue, he really had no interest in being a teacher.

  A big house, a beautiful wife, some land... after experiencing wind and rain, Qin Kan still did not change his original intention, these goals are obviously not something that a teacher with a monthly salary of six taels of silver can achieve.

  "How about you? Have you been doing well these past few days?" Qin Kan asked.

  "I'm also having a tough time. Father is really making me angry, refusing to let me out and not allowing me to see you... I'm very unhappy..."

  Listening to Du Yan's faint confession, Qin Kan's heart was moved, and he remained silent for a long time before finally sighing: "Knowing you're not doing well makes me feel at ease, that's only fair..."

  Du Yan: "..."

  How could I have fallen for someone like him? It's really unbelievable...

  "Qin Kan, you helped me escape from the sea of suffering. Everyone in Shaoxing City knows about us... What will we do in the future?" Du Yan asked with a full heart and a shy tone.

  Qin Kan had a severe headache.

  He has been trying to avoid this issue, ruining her marriage is one thing, and his emotional problem with her is another. Honestly, he still hasn't figured out whether his feelings for Du Yan are love or sympathy.

  Qin Kan is a clever person, when he is clever, he can easily resolve all difficulties and gain the greatest benefits for himself.

  At the same time, Qin Kan was also a very dull person. In his previous life, he had been involved in many movements, but truly moved emotions were rare.

  Most importantly, if he were to marry Du Yan, then at least one of his grand ambitions would have to be deleted. With Miss Du's temper, the beautiful maidservants they would buy in the future probably wouldn't live past a single winter...

  "Cough, cough, let's talk about this later. I'm just here to see you today. You should reflect on your mistakes in there and try to get a reduced sentence, so when you come out, you can start anew..."

  Qin Kan finished speaking and fled in a flurry.

  "Qin Kan, how long do you want to escape? Hey! Hey! Bastard!"

  Young Master Xu Pengju is going back to Nanjing.

  It's not going anywhere, this time Shaoxing has made such a big deal, Old Guogong Xu will definitely not let his grandson idle outside again. Although the grandson is quite innocent and has no reason to be blamed for the disaster that came from nowhere, he still caused trouble and Old Guogong's face was lost, barely calming things down.

  Lao Guo Gong is waiting for his grandson to return to Nanjing to be executed.

  Xu Pengju refused to leave, clinging to the door frame of the inn room, like a virtuous woman being forced into prostitution, refusing to let go, crying very sadly, with a deep sense of parting sorrow in her eyes.

  The guards had no choice but to pry open his fingers and persuade him with kind words.

  The scene was so touching that Qin Kan couldn't help but be moved.

  At last, the ten fingers were pried open by the guards, and everyone lifted Xiao Gongzi onto the carriage. The coachman skillfully cracked his whip, and the carriage quickly headed towards Nanjing.

  Qin Kan stood at the gate of the inn, seeing him off with a gloomy mood.

  Far away, a loud and mournful cry came from Xu Pengju in the horse carriage.

  "Qin Kan, quickly tell me, what exactly is pizza? Is it really delicious?"

  The voice is distant, and so is the person...

  The trend doesn't look very good...
