Chapter 537 Stay
Puyang Huan said shyly, "Brother, I'm not made of paper. I'm not that fragile."
Puyang Qiubai called the servant outside and asked him to take Puyang Huan out to play.
Puyang Qiubai turned to Qin Huiyin and said, "Sit down and talk."
Qin Huiyin chose a seat and sat down, then turned to look at Puyang Qiubai. He had actually moved the tea set next to him over, intending to make tea for the guests himself.
She saw many documents on his desk, one pile had been processed and the other had not, and it was obvious that he was very busy.
"Master, don't bother. I'm not thirsty."
"Guests have come from afar, so how can we not entertain them?" Puyang Qiubai said, "You call me Master, so you are my student."
"Master, I heard about you and Congfeng. Your organization is called the Wuxiang League. You are all descendants of aristocratic families, right?"
Puyang Qiubai answered her question while brewing tea: "Yes. My surname is Puyang, my name is Qiubai, and his name is Zhuge Congfeng."
Qin Huiyin thought about her previous encounter with them and fell silent.
"I'm sorry, I concealed something before and even changed my name." Puyang Qiubai looked at her and said, "But our relationship as master and disciple is real. We won't forget your kindness to us."
"It doesn't matter. Your grievances with the court are your own business. We have no grudges against each other, so why can't we be friends?"
"That's right." Puyang Qiubai said with a smile, "Come, try this..."
"You had a cough just now. Don't drink this tea. It will only make your cough worse." Qin Huiyin stood up and walked towards the tea rack not far away.
She picked out a new tea and handed it to him: "Drink this!"
Puyang Qiubai and Qin Huiyin got along very well. Even after he revealed all the things he had previously concealed, and even revealed his identity as a traitor to the imperial court, their relationship remained the same. Puyang Qiubai still treated her as his beloved disciple, caring for her with all his heart.
"You're all alone here, in a strange place, and I'm sure you'll feel uncomfortable. How about I pick out a room for you next to my wing?"
"Okay!" Qin Huiyin said, "You can continue to learn the piano from the teacher when you have time."
"Speaking of piano lessons, isn't it time to test your academic performance?" Puyang Qiubai raised his eyes to look at her. "I'm afraid you haven't even played the piano much since I left."
"I swear, you really wronged me this time. Even if you weren't watching me, I would have played the piano very seriously." Qin Huiyin swore.
Puyang Qiubai chuckled and stroked her hair. "I really can't do anything about you. Tell me, how did Congfeng bring you here?"
Qin Huiyin did not hide anything and described everything that happened, including the incident on her wedding day, how she was rescued by Zhuge Congfeng and then was chased, and how she escaped from the capital, where there were still many pursuers along the way.
"Those people have been following me. I don't know if they've left. Anyway, for now, I can only bother you for a while."
"Okay, you can stay as long as you want, but I didn't expect you to marry Song Ruize."
"Didn't you know about our relationship?"
"I knew that you two were in love, but I didn't expect you to get married so soon."
"The guy I like is so outstanding. If I don't take him home soon, someone else will snatch him away from me."
"A little girl said this, how much do you like that Mr. Song? You are a girl who dares to love and hate, you are really unique."
Puyang Qiubai saw her yawning and knew that she was exhausted.
"I'll have someone take you downstairs to rest." Puyang Qiubai said.
"I am indeed a little sleepy."
Puyang Qiubai called a female steward and asked her to take Qin Huiyin downstairs to rest.
"The side yard next to me is empty. Please clean it up and give Miss Qin a place to stay. Also, arrange a talkative and cheerful maid for her. She's new here and isn't familiar with the place. A lively maid will help her not feel lonely."
"Yes."
The housekeeper looked at Qin Huiyin in surprise.
Who on earth was this girl that their lord cared so much about her? He had never taken such good care of Miss Huan'er when she first came back.
After the housekeeper took Qin Huiyin away, Puyang Qiubai was about to call Zhuge Congfeng over, but the latter had already pushed the door open and walked in.
"Why drag her into this?" Puyang Qiubai looked at Zhuge Congfeng. "She's just a weak woman, kindhearted by nature, good-hearted, and sincere. She's so sincere to you, treating you as a friend, and yet you drag her into this vortex."
"She should have explained to you that it was an accident." Zhuge Congfeng sat in the seat where Qin Huiyin had just sat.
Puyang Qiubai replaced the teacup Qin Huiyin had drunk from, took a clean one, and poured it for him.
"That's just a lie to fool the girl. Even if it was an accident, with your abilities, how could you not handle it? As long as you wanted to, you could definitely return the bride without her noticing. You brought her here on purpose. Could it be..."
"Don't overthink it. Huan'er and I were engaged since childhood. Even if I get married, it's Huan'er I'll marry," Zhuge Congfeng said. "This incident was truly unexpected. Don't you think about it? I'm not a deity. If something unexpected happens, I'll be thrown off my feet."
"That's best." Puyang Qiubai's expression softened. "Send someone to monitor the situation outside for the next few days. If you find those people retreating, send them away."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhuge Congfeng said, "We don't need her to eat a single bite here."
"If she stayed in the Wuxiang League for a long time, would those old seniors let her out of this secret room? You know it clearly, so why are you so anxious?"
"You're so nagging. Got it." Zhuge Congfeng's brows were full of annoyance.
"Congfeng..." Puyang Qiubai looked at him. "Young lady, you have a lover who you both love. You'd better not have other thoughts. I don't expect you to marry Huan'er, because your engagement with Huan'er was made when our two elders were still alive. Now things have changed, and you and Huan'er have just reunited. Everything has changed. You are my brother. I just want you to be happy. I don't want you to bear any responsibilities. However, this happiness cannot be built on the suffering of others."
"Who do you think I am?" Zhuge Congfeng rolled his eyes. "Look at how protective you are of your child. If you don't know better, you would think she is your sister."
"If I really had such a lovely sister, I would be willing to use all my strength to protect her," Puyang Qiubai said. "Now, she is my little disciple, so don't I have to protect her too?"
