Young Master Liu looked at the beautiful lady's angry face and didn't react for a moment.
"What? Saving a dowry? What do you save for a dowry?"
"Daguoguo, you are such a good melon boy."
"No, brother, why did I get meloned again?"
"Sister, I want to ask you, will I leave the court and get married in the future?"
"Yes, girl, you are in your prime years and will definitely get married."
"That's fine, sister, since I want to get married, what's the problem with me saving a dowry for myself?"
"No, being a brother doesn't mean that.
Hey, you’re almost killing me, my brother.”
Ren Qingxin saw the confused look on Young Master Liu's face, and nodded with a sour look.
"Yes, my sister is saving money for her dowry."
She bent down and took out another piece of silk cloth from the medicine basket, and gently wrapped the wild ginseng in her hand.
Putting the wild ginseng back into the medicine basket, Ren Qingxin reached for the wine bag in Young Master Liu's hand, pulled out the cork and took a sip of wine.
"Da Guoguo, you know very well what my sister's background is.
And my sister knows very well that because of what happened in the past, Da Guoguo doesn’t have a great impression of my old man.
Perhaps not only do I not have a great fondness for him, I may even feel a little disgusted with him.
My sister wants to prevent the friendship between the two of us from being affected because of my old man.
Therefore, my sister has no choice but to fend for herself."
Ren Qingxin breathed a sigh of relief, nodded again and took a sip of wine.
"In the beginning, before I met Da Guoguo again in the official circles, my sister had to make a living by herself.
Things are different now, Daguoguo, you have promised to take your sister to me as your mother-in-law.
Sister, I will naturally save a dowry for myself."
Liu Mingzhi felt the loneliness radiating from the beauty's body from the inside out. He frowned in silence for a long time and sighed with a complicated expression.
"Girl, regarding your father Ren Wenyue, as a brother I..."
Before Mr. Liu finished his sentence, he was interrupted by Ren Qingxin.
"Da Guoguo, my sister knows what you want to say.
There are some things you don’t say, but I understand in my heart, sister.
Regarding the things that happened back then, no matter who was right or wrong, they are all in the past.
Now that it has passed, there is no need to mention it again.
It makes no sense anymore.
My sister doesn't want to mention it, doesn't want to hear it, and doesn't care.
As long as there is no gap between the two of us, sister, I will be content."
Ren Qingxin held Liu Mingzhi's wrist tenderly, and softly spoke out all her inner thoughts.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the beauty's charming face with complicated eyes, and nodded sadly.
"Okay, since you've said that, girl, I won't say anything more.
However, regarding your father, I have something to tell you. I wonder if you are willing to listen?
Girl, if you want to hear something, I will tell you. If you don’t want to hear it, just forget it and just pretend that I didn’t say it."
Ren Qingxin's pretty face was stunned, her bright eyes stared blankly at Young Master Liu's face, she bit her lips lightly and fell silent.
"me……"
Ren Qingxin looked at Young Master Liu hesitantly, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer this question.
Do you want to hear it yourself?
To be honest, I really want to hear what my sweetheart has to say.
However, what should I do if all the words my sweetheart wants to say are criticisms of my old man?
For a time, Ren Qingxin fell into a difficult decision as to whether she wanted to listen or not.
Liu Mingzhi silently looked at the beauty's pretty face with a hesitant expression. He didn't say anything to urge her, but casually took off the tobacco pouch from his waist.
Ren Qingxin hesitated and pondered for a long time, then raised the wine bag in his hand and took a swig.
After a while, the beautiful woman put down the wine bag in her hand, burped lightly, and nodded heavily at Mr. Liu who lit the cigarette.
"Hiccup! Daguoguo, tell me."
Liu Mingzhi turned his head and blew out the light smoke from his mouth, frowning with a complex expression on his face.
"Girl, tell the truth for my brother, your father is not a good person."
Ren Qingxin's delicate body suddenly trembled, and her heart couldn't help but become nervous.
The first words from her sweetheart made the beauty's heart beat uncontrollably.
Ren Qingxin clenched ten green-white jade fingers tightly, bit her cherry lips and nodded silently.
"Um!"
"Girl, your father is not a good person, but at the same time he is a pitiful person.
A poor man whose mind has been blinded by power and doesn't know how much he weighs."
Ren Qingxin's delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, and she looked at Young Master Liu quietly, waiting for his next words.
"In other words, he is just a pawn involved in a power struggle.
A chess piece that even he himself didn't know why he was involved in this turmoil.
In the end, he ended up in this situation.
It is because he, a chess piece, does not realize his consciousness as a chess piece.
Taking bribes and perverting the law brings disaster to the government.
Forming cliques for personal gain and suppressing dissidents.
For the sake of selfish interests, it is in vain to care about the safety of the people in the world and the stability of the country and the country.
He did everything he was not supposed to do as a chess piece."
Liu Mingzhi's tone gradually became colder, and Ren Qingxin's face became more and more nervous.
At the same time, Ren Qingxin also felt some regret in her heart.
Maybe, I shouldn't have chosen to listen to my sweetheart's opinion of my old man in the first place.
Liu Mingzhi blew out the smoke in his mouth, reached out and took the wine bag in the beauty's hand and took a sip.
"Perhaps, girl, you should think about it. In those events back then, your father was just a victim who was involved in the power struggle.
Mr. Li from the East China Sea was just a victim of the power of his brother, who had a heavy army at the time.
However, is the reality really just what you think?
Brother, I can tell you frankly, no.
When your father was serving as the Minister of Household Affairs, he did those stupid things.
Thirty percent is because of Mr. Li's craftsmanship, and 70% is for his own selfish interests.
I won’t go into details about other things, girl. I will tell you the simplest thing.
That is the matter of your father secretly teaming up with some important officials in the court to embezzle money and food for the renovation of Ruizong's imperial mausoleum.
Girl, he dared to embezzle the money used to repair the late emperor’s tomb!
Tell me, what else is there that he doesn't dare to do?
Later, after I proclaimed myself emperor as my brother, I also told you in general about your father.
