"Xuan'er." Qi Chengyue rushed over to check her injury and breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that she had only dislocated her shoulder.

"Brother Yue, they bullied me... they bullied me, you have to help me get revenge!" Qi Xuan's face was pale with pain, her eyes filled with hatred.

Ye Xianya walked over quickly, gently stretched out her hand, and the copper coin blocking Qi Jiu's face quickly shrank and flew into her palm.

Qi Chengshuo immediately stood in front of Qi Jiu to protect him.

"Brother Chengshuo, Xuan'er is just a weak little girl. You can just take the dagger from her. Why hurt her?" Qi Chengyue didn't dare to set Qi Xuan's bones. He turned to look at Qi Chengshuo and said angrily.

"Useless? She's about to kill her father! This kind of unfilial and heartless person, I'd be lenient by kicking her." Qi Chengshuo said, glaring fiercely at Qi Xuan. "Uncle Jiu loves you so much, spoils you so much, and you not only insult him but also want to kill him? Have you lost your conscience?"

"For your so-called wealth and glory, for your own face, you actually want your father's life, Qi Xuan, you are truly despicable and do not deserve to be my Ninth Uncle's daughter. Get out of this courtyard."

After Qi Chengshuo finished cursing, both Qi Xuan and Qi Chengyue were stunned.

In their impression, Qi Chengshuo was always steady and taciturn, and he did not interact much with his younger siblings. Although he was only the emperor's grand-nephew, he was skilled in both literature and martial arts from a young age, and was more favored by the emperor than some of the real imperial grandsons.

In addition, Qi Chengshuo was too good at fighting, and they were all a little afraid of him since they were young. After all, they could never beat him, so they could only admit defeat.

This is the first time I've ever heard Qi Chengshuo swear!

"You won't leave, huh? Then I'll chop you down today. I want to see if the Emperor will protect you, this unfilial and ungrateful wretch, or me." Qi Chengshuo said, drawing his long sword.

"Let's go!" Qi Chengyue was startled and grabbed Qi Xuan's arm, pulling her outside.

Qi Xuan was also frightened and stumbled as she ran out. Once she was outside the Ye family's gate, tears welled up in her eyes: "Qi Chengshuo, you just wait for me, I'm going to the palace right now to file a complaint with the emperor!"

Even a member of the imperial clan, the future heir of the Prince Duan's mansion, cannot compare to her in status; she is a legitimate granddaughter of the emperor.

Her grandfather doted on her, and she frequently visited the palace to pay her respects these days. She even gained the favor of Consort Yi. She refused to believe that she couldn't defeat Qi Chengshuo.

Upon hearing this, Qi Chengshuo, who was standing at the door, grabbed the long knife from the guard's hand without saying a word and threw it at her.

Upon seeing this, Qi Chengyue quickly pulled Qi Xuan to dodge, and the knife landed right at Qi Xuan's feet, making a crisp sound.

"You, you, you..." Qi Xuan never expected that he would dare to make a move. She pointed at Qi Chengshuo and stomped her foot, but dared not say anything more.

"Get out! If you ever dare to come to the Ye family again, or dare to speak disrespectfully to Uncle Jiu, even if you hide in the Kang Prince's Mansion or the palace, I will never forgive you," Qi Chengshuo said coldly.

Qi Xuan's face flushed red and then turned pale upon hearing this.

"Let's go!" Qi Chengyue pulled her into the carriage, his face also looking very unpleasant.

"I...I want to go to the palace to complain to my grandfather." Qi Xuan cried out in anguish, feeling that she had suffered a great humiliation.

"Tell me about it!" Qi Chengyue looked at her, his eyes no longer as gentle as before: "If your grandfather asks you why your brother Chengshuo hit you, how will you answer?"

Qi Xuan was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Qi Xuan, you have insulted your own father. You not only despise him and curse him, but you also took out a dagger and tried to kill him. Are you going to tell your grandfather this?" Qi Chengyue's voice slowly turned cold.

In front of everyone, he naturally had to protect Qi Xuan, because Qi Xuan was now the princess of their Kangwang Mansion, and on the royal genealogy, she was his younger sister.

As the older brother, he had to protect his younger sister.

But now that there are no outsiders, he has to say what needs to be said.

“Xuan’er, although I used to think you were a bit spoiled, it was not a big deal because you were a girl raised by our royal family. Even if you got married, we would protect you and wouldn’t let you suffer. I never expected that you would be spoiled like this. I was shocked and disappointed by how you treated your own father.”

Qi Chengyue shook his head as he spoke.

He had thought Qi Xuan was a delicate little sister who needed to be taken care of and coaxed, but he never expected her to be so terrifying.

Indeed, you can know a person's face but not their heart.

Fortunately, his father and mother had repeatedly told him to take good care of Qi Xuan, so that the girl wouldn't feel helpless and sad after arriving at the Kang Prince's Mansion.

And what was the result?

Their whole family was scammed.

This is hardly the delicate and frail younger sister you're looking for.

This is simply...

In short, he was extremely disappointed!

“Brother Yue, you’ve really disappointed me. You actually cursed me for someone who was expelled from the royal family. Although Qi Yanchang is my biological father, look at the despicable things he’s done! Do you know what people outside are saying about him? They say that in order to survive, he actually lived off a woman, married a widow, and was completely subservient to her. He has utterly disgraced the royal family. I’m too ashamed to go out and see anyone!”

Qi Xuan became increasingly heartbroken as she spoke, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "I grew up in the palace since childhood, and was loved by my grandmother. I was more noble than the other princesses. If Qi Yanchang had listened to the Imperial Concubine and spoken out about the crimes of the deposed crown prince, he wouldn't have been exiled. He would still be a prince, my mother would still be a princess, and I wouldn't be ridiculed..."

"But what about him? He knew perfectly well that the deposed crown prince was doomed, yet he still spoke up for him. He had already been exiled by his grandfather, yet he ran back to the capital, bringing back a widow and a daughter. Wasn't he deliberately making himself a laughingstock? Because he is my biological father, I am also being ridiculed. I don't have a father like that."

After hearing Qi Xuan's words, Qi Chengyue was so shocked that he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Perhaps... perhaps it was a mistake on the part of Grandmother and Father to make Qi Xuan their daughter in the Kang Prince's Mansion!

This kind of younger sister truly frightened him and chilled his heart.

This is a complete ingrate.

No, he must tell his father and mother about this when he gets back.

...

At the Ye family home, Qi Jiu sat dejectedly on a stone bench, feeling indescribably sad.

He never expected that his precious daughter would treat him like this.

He felt that his virtuous and loving queen had abandoned him, and that his lovely and obedient daughter was now trying to kill him.

His past life seems like a joke.

He can't even see the true colors of the people around him. Isn't that a joke?

"Qi Jiu, your daughter is a year younger than Xianya. Children care about their reputation and are bound to do some troublesome things. You..." Ye Miaoyun wanted to persuade Qi Jiu, but she couldn't continue.

Because no matter what, a child shouldn't kill their own father.

Of course, scoundrels like Jiang Mingtao are definitely an exception.

If Xianya were to stab him with a knife, she would definitely follow to help.
