Chapter 145 Father and son are not like father and son, brothers are not like brothers
The courtyard was fully equipped, but no one lived there, not even a servant.
At Yang Zuoxian's suggestion, Yang Guang inspected the entire place.
The lights in the main hall were turned on, and Yang Zuoxian made a gesture of invitation: "Sister-in-law, this is the house I bought on a whim after winning a bet. It is registered under the name of cousin Yang Guang. No one knows that this is my place, and usually no one is here. Whatever you want to talk about, it's best to be here!"
Qin Shuang nodded, without even asking a single question, she walked towards the main hall.
Yang Zuoxian ordered Yang Guang: "Keep an eye on it!"
Nanny wanted to follow in, but Qin Shuang said, "My fourth uncle and I have something to discuss!"
Mammy understood and said, "Then I will also help the girl keep an eye on the door!"
Yang Zuoxian chuckled: "Mammy changes her tune really quickly!"
The maid just glanced at her, and said respectfully and politely: "Fourth Young Master, you are joking. The relationship between my daughter and the eldest master is innocent. The eldest master has a mistress, so there is nothing wrong with me calling him that!"
Yang Zuoxian raised the corner of his mouth.
The uncle and his sister-in-law sat down in the hall: "How long has it been?"
"How long?"
"How long have you been watching your big brother?"
"What you want to ask is how long have you been with Miss Han?" He smiled meaningfully and cynically, "Sister-in-law, you can be considered to have stolen someone's love."
"Speak nicely!" Qin Shuang frowned. Her marriage with Yang Zhiyuan was a family marriage, which was arranged when she was ten years old.
Yang Zuoxian put away his playful smile and said, "Just three months before my eldest brother and his wife got married, my eldest brother went out and met this Miss Han San. They fell in love at first sight and were attracted to each other. Before the wedding, my eldest brother wanted to cancel the marriage with you, but my father said that if my eldest brother broke off the marriage with you, he would no longer let him be the heir. After weighing the pros and cons, my good eldest brother kept the wedding date as usual. I don't know how he coaxed Miss Han San to be so devoted to him! The two of them have been dating privately for five years."
Qin Shuang laughed: "Five years, haha!"
They have been married for only five years.
The Qin family and the Han family are both big families in Jiazhou City. Although they are not as powerful as the Luo family and the Yang family, they are also among the best.
The Qin family is better than the Han family. After all, the current head of the Han family is an illegitimate child. Although he is good at doing business, who would be willing to choose an illegitimate child to cooperate with under the same conditions? The Qin family and the Han family had a feud over business in the early years, and now they are like water and fire.
"This Third Miss Han is very interesting. She is a concubine's daughter, but she made the mistress of the Han family happy. Not only did she harm the legitimate daughter, but she also escaped unscathed. Now the mistress of the Han family is bedridden, and the food in the Han family's inner house is managed by her biological mother, Aunt Zhou."
Yang Zuoxian slowly added another strong medicine: "Also, her meeting and acquaintance with my eldest brother were all planned by her. She wanted to target you, and my eldest brother's conditions also satisfied her very much, so she killed two birds with one stone!"
“The Han family is also involved in this matter, and it is ongoing now, right?”
"Yes!" Yang Zuoxian raised his eyebrows, and looked at Qin Shuang with a little more appreciation. In fact, although his sister-in-law had always been in the inner house, she was actually very familiar with some things, and he didn't mind talking more.
"With her scheming, it's not difficult for her to appease my eldest brother. This is also the reason why my eldest brother hates you for getting in the way and preventing him from being with the woman he loves."
Yang Zuoxian glanced at Qin Shuang with some caution: "Han Xinru said that if my elder brother consummates his marriage with you, she will run away and never talk to him again! So my elder brother's attitude towards you... well, my stepmother also knows about this!"
Qin Shuang felt a little disgusted. It turned out that her mother-in-law knew everything, but she always scolded her for being a chicken that lays no eggs and for wanting to make her son childless.
This mother and son are equally disgusting.
During these five years, Yang Zhiyuan had not consummated his marriage with her, but Yang Zhiyuan had not remained chaste for Han Xinru either! He had many concubines in his house, and all of them had consummated their marriages with Yang Zhiyuan.
Although afterwards, Yang Zhiyuan had someone give them contraceptive soup.
At that time, Qin Shuang thought that this was to give face to her as the legal wife, and not to allow illegitimate children to be born so that she could not even keep her false face.
It turned out that he was only doing it for Han Xinru, so that no illegitimate son or daughter would be born before Han Xinru's child was born.
Because she had that light in her heart, she didn't really care how Yang Zhiyuan treated her, and not consummating the marriage made her feel more comfortable. So, facing her mother-in-law's difficulties and Yang Zhiyuan's displeasure, she was always calm, and she just did her duty.
However, Yang Zhiyuan was still not satisfied with her. If he wanted to marry Han Xinru, she would not be unwilling to give up her position, but Yang Zhiyuan actually wanted to destroy the Qin family.
What made her feel a chill in her heart was that Yang Zhiyuan could really do it.
Because, because of her, my father and brother trust Yang Zhiyuan very much.
Every time she went back to her parents' home, she thought about how ridiculous the harmony they pretended to be was. She regretted it now. She should have told them the truth earlier so that they would not be kept in the dark and Yang Zhiyuan would not have had the opportunity to take advantage of them.
Yang Zuoxian didn't care about that kind of look at all. He smiled easily and comfortably, his face full of teasing: "I can tell my sister-in-law a little more. Yang Zhiyuan and the Han family discussed together to deal with the Qin family. In fact, my father also knew about it. And he secretly pushed it."
Qin Shuang calmed himself down, suppressed all the emotions in his mind, and looked up at Yang Zuoxian: "It's hard for Fourth Uncle to know so much!"
A trace of vigilance suddenly emerged in the depths of Yang Zuoxian's eyes: "Hasn't my sister-in-law known about this a long time ago?"
"I don't know!" Qin Shuang said expressionlessly, "I only knew that Yang Zhiyuan had a mistress, but I didn't know that person was Han Xinru!"
She asked again: "Tell me this, what is Fourth Uncle's purpose?" If she just told Yang Zhiyuan, it could be that they were fighting among brothers.
Yang Zuoxian paused for a moment before slowly saying, "I hope the Yang family can be more normal!"
"Do you think this is abnormal?"
"What's normal about it? Husband and wife don't act like husband and wife, father and son don't act like father and son, brothers don't act like brothers, daughters are all tools, illegitimate sons are all stepping stones, concubines' lives are as cheap as grass... The entire Yang family is rotten!" Yang Zuoxian was smiling, but in that smile, there was only coldness and chilliness.
Qin Shuang remained silent. She didn't see as much as Yang Zuoxian in the backyard, but Yang Zuoxian's words still surprised her.
Yang Zuoxian looked at her and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you still hope that big brother will change his mind?"
"Asking questions knowingly!"
Yang Zuoxian smiled: "Sister-in-law, cooperate with me, I will keep the Qin family safe and allow you to divorce my eldest brother, okay?"
Qin Shuang was silent for a moment: "Can I trust you?"
"Sister-in-law, you can try to trust me! After all, the situation can't get any worse. The Qin family is about to be destroyed, and only I can stop it!"
