Chapter 368 My dear daughter, please sign it quickly
Qiu Bi felt uncomfortable standing for a long time, so she moved slightly and answered politely.
"The concern and care of the Feng family's parents is as heavy as a mountain to me. Therefore, I don't want to change my name. I hope that my parents will understand."
As if lamenting the unfairness of fate, Qiu Jin laughed coldly twice.
"So, in your opinion, the Fengs are more considerate than us?"
Qiu Bi felt so ridiculous for feeling so self-pitying.
"Please forgive me for asking a blunt question, but how can you be so considerate, father and mother?"
Trying to coax her but running into trouble, Qiu Jin immediately became furious.
"Qiu Bi! How dare you disobey your elders? Do you not want to recognize your parents anymore after returning to Gao Mansion?"
"Let's be honest. Did we really not show any kindness in raising you?"
Recalling the past, Qiu Bi still felt a little troubled.
"Reply mother, yes."
Seeing that she was willing to be fooled, Qiu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put away his anger, and pretended to be lonely and sad.
"You still have a conscience."
"But I know that Miss Gao Er seems to care about family affection, but in fact, she is afraid of bearing a bad reputation. You, the Gao family, are close ministers of King Di Jin. The king is always kind and righteous, so you naturally cannot ignore filial piety. In the final analysis, you only have selfish plans in your hearts."
"From the outside, we seem to be in a position of power and wealth; but from the inside, we are just pawns in the fulfillment of filial piety. Once we have used enough, we can discard us. It is not surprising and insignificant."
Qiu Bi listened patiently before retorting.
"Why bother to say it so clearly?"
"Dad and mom are sleeping in the Wutong Pavilion, doing nothing every month, yet they have endless money to spend. I would like to ask the people of the world, who is as happy as you?"
Qiu Jin followed her words and continued to confuse right and wrong.
"Did you buy Wutong Pavilion? Do you provide the money every month? Even if it comes from you, it is the benefit we deserve for being used by others."
"Alas, it may seem like a glittering and glorious scene, but only we ourselves know how miserable it is behind the scenes."
Qiu Bi couldn't stand it for several times and finally lost her patience completely.
"What exactly do you want to do? Please tell me directly, mother."
Qiu Jin used the skills taught by Mu Rong to manipulate people's hearts by pretending to be good.
"We fully understand that you don't want to change your name, and we will never force you."
She looked around, looking melancholy.
"This Wutong Pavilion is really not spacious enough. Do you still remember Mr. Wei and his wife who live next door? His daughter has been taking exams in various places over the years, and finally made a name for herself in the Shengjing examination."
"She wanted to repay her gratitude, so before she took office, she asked for a reward for her parents and bought them an elegant house in the suburbs of Beijing. Not only would her parents be of a higher status and be respectfully addressed as "Yuanwai" and "Yuanwai's wife", but her children would also be able to become officials and be respectfully addressed as "gongzi" and "xiaonu".
"As a local official, she is grateful and repays the kindness she has received. You are from Batai, what can you do for us?"
My mother never likes to speak directly, so this was already a clear indication. Qiu Bi nodded as she said.
"I understand. Tell me, which house do you like?"
When Qiu Jin heard this, he smiled happily and quickly took out the contract.
"The Qiu family's elegant residence can't be worse than the Wei family's, what do you think?"
"We have already drafted the contract and negotiated everything. We are just waiting for you to sign your name and send the money. My parents are poor and have no means of livelihood. Fortunately, with your guarantee, we have the blessing to live in the mansion and enjoy the fun of being rich. Our Bi'er is the most filial, much better than Wei Nv Niang."
After praising for a long time, she realized that Qiu Bi was standing still. She waved her hand with a happy smile.
"Bi'er, come closer and take a look. Why are you standing so far away? Can Daddy and Mommy eat you?"
Qiu Biman walked over reluctantly, took the contract with both hands, lowered his eyes to take a look, and was immediately shocked.
"A house in the southern suburbs?!"
Looking at the sky-high price written in the contract, her pupils were shimmering, she could no longer endure it and complained loudly.
"Don't you know that many of Shengjing's powerful and prominent people have bought retirement homes in the southern suburbs, making Shengjing's southern suburbs famous? In addition, it is close to the mountains and rivers, and it is the most convenient for traveling to Shengjing. The number of plots in the southern suburbs is far higher than other places in the suburbs of Beijing."
"You might as well just go and rob them, I can't afford it!"
Qiu Jin's good expression instantly turned into an arrogant and domineering look.
"How can you not afford it? You are refusing on purpose."
"Who in the world today doesn't know that the beautiful woman makes a fortune every day?"
Qiu Bi frowned and reminded.
"I work in Yuexi Mansion, not in the city of beauty."
Qiu Jin made a reasonable guess.
"Princess Yuexi has sufficient funds in her treasury, so she will certainly give you a generous reward."
Qiu Bi's angry face was accompanied by a bit of helplessness.
"That's not the case. I can afford a house in the southern suburbs. I'm just asking, could it be that the Wei family's elegant house is also in the southern suburbs?"
Qiu Jin answered truthfully.
"Northern suburbs."
Qiu Bi immediately proposed.
"Then you can also choose a house in the northern suburbs, and I will buy it and give it to you."
Qiu Jin frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction.
"The areas near the northern suburbs are all used as military training stations, and the areas reserved for the subjects to settle down are remote and cramped, even worse than Wutong Pavilion. How can people live there? You let us stay there, are you letting us enjoy happiness or suffer?"
Qiu Bi gave some advice casually.
"Most of the soldiers and guards of Shengjing Guard Station are training in the northern suburbs. It will be safe for Daddy and Mommy to live there."
Qiu Jin slammed the table, his expression particularly serious.
"Don't talk nonsense! Don't think I don't understand anything."
She is methodical, analyzes situations, and treats her own safety with caution and great care.
"If there are restless people who take advantage of the situation, or if the Liang Alliance comes to seek revenge and attack Shengjing, they will first have to deal with the people of the Northern Suburbs Supervisory Office, and then the Western Suburbs Deep Forest and the Bronze Office training ground. People living in the Western Suburbs will have a chance to escape after hearing the news; if the Northern Suburbs are in danger, the people will inevitably raise flags to cheer, and the tragic situation that will be caught off guard can be imagined."
After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, glared at Qiu Bi fiercely, and scolded and questioned her.
"Why do you insist on letting us stay there?"
When she met them, Qiu Bi felt miserable.
"Then buy one in the eastern suburbs. I really can't afford a house in the southern suburbs."
Seeing that her momentum had weakened a bit, Qiu Jin smiled again and tried to persuade her shamelessly.
"Don't be so hasty to refuse. The owner of this house has agreed to let you pay on credit. You can just pay it back within a certain period of time. You don't have to pay it all at once."
Qiu Bi was shocked when she heard this.
"Is it really possible?"
Qiu Jin nodded and told the fact.
"The houses and pavilions in the southern suburbs are too expensive. Now most of them are sold like this. Otherwise, who can come up with so much money at once?"
Qiu Bi made a rough calculation in her mind and then responded.
"If I were allowed to pay it back within a year, I might be able to afford it."
Qiu Jin took out one of the contracts and pointed to a section of content.
"The owner of the family has stipulated that you only need to pay it back within two years. Look, it's written here in the contract."
Qiu Bi thought about it and agreed.
"I can buy it and give it to you, but I need you to agree to sign a document with me, indicating that my parents have thanked you for raising their daughter."
Qiu Shirong is the head of the family, so naturally he is responsible for expressing his opinion on this matter.
"Okay, I promise you, and I promise not to bother you again."
Qiu Bi smiled back.
"Thank you dad."
Qiu Jin took out the rest of the contract, pushed Qiu Bi towards the desk, and urged her at the same time.
"Okay, without further ado, my dear daughter, sign it now."
