764: Tian Shen Manor’s Qin Family I

Tian Shen Manor’s Qin Family I

Feng Ruqing remained silent.2

If that was the case, she could be at ease…

But somehow, she was always a bit uneasy about Qin Chen.

"Little beauty, how did you meet Qin Chen?"

Feng Ruqing replied, "We met somewhere on the streets, but then he went home. So, I haven't seen him for a long time."

Luo Li stared at Feng Ruqing's face for a few seconds. She was a little stunned. "You and Qin Chen are not just ordinary friends, right?"

Feng Ruqing was shocked.

She was just asking casually. Could it be that Luo Li had already sensed that their relationship was special?

"Sister Feng…" Luo Li patted her shoulders with a smile and winked. "I know what you are thinking. You don't have to worry. It's fine even if you like the Qin family's adopted son. I will help you."

Feng Ruqing was speechless.

When did she fall in love with Qin Chen?

Chen'er was her younger brother!

"Ahem…" Elder Zhao cleared his throat. He grinned. "We shall go back now. The old lady's health is getting worse, we should go back earlier."

Luo Li's smile slowly disappeared and sadness replaced her smile.

She pursed her lips gently. "Sister Feng, I'll go back first. You can come to the Luo family to visit me whenever you are free."

"Okay."

She did not refuse Luo Li's kindness.

But she had more important things to do.

***

Heavenly City.

It was the core of Tian Shen Manor and was equivalent to the imperial city of Liu Yun Kingdom.

It did not take long for Feng Ruqing to see the Qin family's plaque.

There were two guards standing outside the manor. They stood still, unmoving.

Originally, Feng Ruqing did not plan to enter the Qin family's manor. She came here just to find out if Chen'er was doing well.

A figure came out slowly from the Qin family's gate.

Feng Ruqing quickly hid somewhere. She glanced at the person stepping out of the gate.

The woman was pale and weak. She was a morbid beauty with a slight smile on her face.

"My lady…" A maid followed after her and held Qin Fei'er's body. She was a little bit worried. "You are still ill. Lady Wen Yu said that you should rest at home."

Qin Fei'er smiled softly. "It's okay. Chen'er has a bad appetite recently. I'm going to buy him some food from Heaven-i[1]."

"But, my lady… we can go on your behalf. You don't have to go. After all, Qin Chen is just…"

"Liu Xia!" Qin Fei'er's face darkened. "No matter what his identity was, he is now my younger brother. I owe him too much. It's only right to go buy some food for him because he is very dear to me in this world."

But she still had to abandon him in order to marry a god-like man.

Therefore, even if it was just a small thing, she wanted to do it for him. Only with this, she could feel much better in her heart.

There would be no more guilt.

Liu Xia did not dare to speak further. She lowered her head but she was filled with disdain.

He was just an adopted child. She could not understand why the lady was so good to him. The lady really loved him as if he was her younger brother. She even wanted to go out to buy him some food even when she was sick.

Yet, Qin Chen still did not appreciate it. He had treated her coldly these past few days and kept a long face with her.
