Chapter 47: Parting at the City Gate

  Qin Kan hated his own infallible intuition...

  He knew that Xiaobao wouldn't let these Jin Yiwei off, he also knew that Xiaobao's methods were extremely ruthless, and he knew even more that it was him who would end up paying the medical bills afterwards...

  The silver in the bundle was short by a small half, Qin Kan's heart almost broke.

  Yang Tian Shou, who had taken fifty taels of silver, seemed much calmer, but still somewhat resentful.

  "Is this your wife?"

  Qin Kan took a glance at Du Yan, who was embarrassed and ashamed, and sighed: "Not now, but probably can't escape her clutches in the future..."

  Yang Tian Shou's face was filled with sympathy: "How did you end up finding someone like that..."

  Du Yan's apricot eyes glared, and a fierce aura burst forth.

  Yang Tian Shou tactfully changed his words: "......such a heroic and elegant woman, not inferior to the whiskers of a man, is truly a match made in heaven with Qin Bai Hu, their conjugal love runs deep like the sea, really enviable for others..."

  Du Yan was flattered and smiled, seeing the situation in front of her, she also understood that it was a misunderstanding. So, she patted Yang Tian Shou's shoulder very generously: "You're not bad, I misjudged you earlier, don't take it to heart."

  Qin Kan sneered at the side, can't this dead old woman hear that others' words are full of guilty conscience?

  Du Yan's face turned red, and she looked embarrassed as she pulled Qin Kan to one side, saying hesitantly: "Did I do something wrong just now?"

  Qin Kan's face sank as he said, "Yes."

  "Was I wrong?"

  Qin Kan sighed and said, "This mistake is probably worth 150 taels of silver, enough to buy five young and beautiful maidservants. Isn't that severe?"

  Du Yan was shocked and spat out her tongue, then raised an eyebrow in anger: "You actually compensated 150 taels? It's just a few light slaps, do you need to compensate so much? I'll go help you get it back!"

  Qin Kan's eyes were quick and his hands were fast, he grabbed her arm in one swift motion, a cold sweat breaking out all over his body.

  What a close call! This handful has at least made up for over 300 taels of losses...

  "Miss, stop it! I didn't provoke anyone or offend anyone. If you hit me again, won't that be unjust? What did the silver in my bundle do to deserve this? Can't you just let them off?" Qin Kan sighed helplessly.

  Du Yan's figure stiffened, and she glared at him with a coquettish gaze: "For no reason at all, how did you become the hundredth household of the Brocade Guard?"

  "I want to know the answer more than you do. Although life is hard to understand, this time I'm really too confused..."

  Du Yan's face turned gloomy: "What are we going to do in the future? My father is a civil official, and he has always hated the Imperial Guards. You have become a Jin Yi Wei, what will happen..."

  Du Yan's worries are justified, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty have always been at odds with the Imperial Guards, and the two sides have been fighting for over a hundred years. The civil officials are more cunning, occupying the moral high ground first, and claiming to be the representatives of justice. In comparison, the Imperial Guards are more honest, only knowing how to work hard and catch people, but not understanding that they also need to learn how to self-promote and self-praise. As a result, the Imperial Guards gradually become notorious, becoming the target of criticism and attack by the civil officials who claim to uphold justice.

  Qin Kan was unexpectedly appointed as a Jin Yi Bai Hu, and whether Du Zhifu would be willing to acknowledge this son-in-law in the future was really hard to say.

  Seeing Du Yan's worried look, Qin Kan could only comfort her in a warm tone: "When I become a thousand-household official in the future, I'll put your father in prison and let him try all 108 torture instruments. He won't dare not to agree..."

  Looking from afar, Xian Jun and the others were astonished to see that Qin's wife suddenly went crazy and performed a complete set of Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms on her husband...

  …………

  …………

  Sorrowful thoughts of parting, gloomily rising in my heart.

  Qin Kan was rubbing his bruises when Du Yan adjusted his clothes and hat, her beautiful eyes welling up with tears for him.

  "Nanjing is not like Shaoxing, there are many noble and aristocratic families there, you must be careful in all things, if you can tolerate it then tolerate it, don't blindly offend people..."

  Qin Kan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I prefer peace and won't offend anyone. I don't even want to be the head of this Jin Yi Bai Hu, just find an excuse to make a mistake and let them fire me..."

  Du Yan said discontentedly: "How can you say that? You have no hope in the imperial examination, but you can't really just be a wealthy and carefree husband, can you? Being a hundred households is also considered a military officer, at least it's a good start, you can't let your own career be delayed because of my father's dislike. You must do well as a hundred households, not only do well but also strive for promotion when there is an opportunity, don't care what my father thinks, you are not living for him."

  Qin Kan looked at her with great surprise, unexpectedly the ancient saying "a woman's virtue is not to be kept" was indeed very reasonable. The eight characters of the marriage had not been written yet, and Du Yan had already fully entered into the role of Mrs. Qin. Compared to those women in her previous life who got married and tried every means to move their husband's belongings to their natal home, they should be ashamed to death to thank the world.

  Facing Qin Kan's gaze, Du Yan blushed and lowered her head, saying: "I... I also considered our future. My father said that he made an agreement with you to wait for a year, letting you make a name for yourself before getting married, but he didn't say you can't be a military officer. In the future, when you return home in glory, if my father disapproves of your status, I'll just... I'll just run away with you and elope."

  After saying this blasphemous and outrageous sentence, Du Yan's cheeks were already flushed with shame, her whole body weak and as if she was about to collapse.

  Until this moment, Qin Kan suddenly felt a severe blow in his heart, and he found that he had already fallen for her.

  Actually, marrying such a violent wife is not bad at all. Although her personality is a bit strong, she wholeheartedly dedicates herself to him, and in her eyes, Qin Kan is everything. She will selflessly plan for his benefit, make decisions for him, and go all out to protect him. Her stance is always consistent with his, and there's no need to worry that she'll ever stray...

  Having a wife like this, what's not to be satisfied with? If I really found an ordinary weak and timid wife who would agree with me on everything, and we lived a peaceful and quiet life without any ripples or waves, would that kind of life have any meaning?

  Qin Kan felt his heart suddenly clear and bright.

  Alright, Qin family's madam will be her, soon she'll be called Du Shi of the Qin gate.

  Why is it called "big woman"?

  It's clear that the Qin family will have more than one mistress in the future. At least, the beautiful and ambitious maid has never thought of giving up her goal, and if Du Yan opposes it, Qin Kan won't mind shaking things up.

  In his past life, Qin Kan was quite flirtatious and had many romantic conquests. He didn't think this was a flaw, so in this life he doesn't want to change either.

  …………

  …………

  Yang Tian Shou urged Qin Kan to board the vehicle, it's getting late and they couldn't afford to waste any more time.

  Qin Kan got on the carriage, and Du Yan stood on one side of the official road, looking at Qin Kan with tears in her eyes. She sniffled, then burst into loud sobs like a little girl, wiping away her tears with her sleeve as she cried, looking both adorable and pitiful.

  Qin Kan's eyes also turned red, and a painful smile appeared on his face.

  Qinmen Du... is still just a child at seventeen years old this year.

  The horse carriage started moving, Qin Kan looked at Du Yan crying pitifully by the roadside, his heart ached and he lifted the curtain to shout: "Du Yan, I've decided to marry you this time for real! You will be the official wife of the Qin family!"

  Du Yan cried like a kitten, nodding repeatedly, and was so choked with sobs that she couldn't speak.

  The crying suddenly stopped, Du Yan seemed to have come back to her senses, and her weak eyes became sharp.

  "Qin Kan, what is meant by 'main wife and great woman'? How many more do you want to marry? Hmm? Stop it, speak clearly!"

  Qin Kan wiped away his sweat and said anxiously: "Yang brother, trouble you to hurry up..."

  "Are you kidding me?"

  "That's right."
