Chapter 53 The Truth About the Wedding Night

It takes a while to accept this fact.

Mrs. Qin was in a daze for a long time before she raised her head and looked at Yan Fengxiao.

If it were before, she would have hurriedly helped the person up, as she could not bear this person's gift.

However, now, Madam Qin did not think too much about it, but asked: "Can the governor tell me what happened?"

Yan Fengxiao's eyes flickered slightly, and his dark pupils turned pitch black.

He slowly raised his head and glanced at Qin Mingzhu.

This kneeling is an apology.

After all, Qin Mingzhu is Mrs. Qin's biological daughter, and she was accidentally pregnant with his child.

This kind of thing, if even a little word gets out, would be devastating and completely unacceptable by common sense.

Yan Fengxiao knew that there was no need to hide this matter anymore.

He opened his thin lips and slowly said, "On the day of the Marquis's wedding banquet, someone sneaked into the bridal chamber and poisoned it."

Raising his head, Yan Fengxiao looked at Qin Mingzhu and continued word by word, "At that time, Mingzhu was unconscious due to the spring poison. I took advantage of her opportunity and sneaked in without considering the consequences. To Mingzhu, she was actually completely unaware from beginning to end. If Madam Qin hates me, Fengxiao will accept the punishment!"

After interrogation, it was found that the person who poisoned Qin Mingzhu was arranged by a woman named Yan Qinghao. She wanted to do something bad to Qin Mingzhu and her purpose was to destroy her.

Who could have imagined that Yan Qinghao, the young marquis of Dingyuan Marquisate who appeared extremely handsome and of excellent character in public, actually had countless women behind the scenes. The woman who did such an evil thing, just out of jealousy, bribed the servants in the mansion to attack Qin Mingzhu at the wedding banquet.

The situation was extremely urgent at the time. The aphrodisiac was extremely strong and was a drug used in brothels to train strong-willed women. The poisoned person would almost lose consciousness and be controlled by the drug.

If the poison cannot be detoxified in time, it will cause great harm to the body and may even lead to death from cardiac arrest.

The most important thing is that Yan Fengxiao has actually seen Qin Mingzhu before.

A long time ago, she had saved his life...

Old Marquis Yan and General Qin had been good friends, and the two families had frequent interactions. Of course, when Qin Mingzhu was young, she had also gone to the Yan family with her mother.

There was no epic story. In fact, at a banquet, Qin Mingzhu secretly gave a steamed bun to a boy who was locked in the woodshed of a marquis's mansion. The boy was covered in wounds and looked like a little beggar.

She also helped him open the seemingly unbreakable door of the woodshed and let him escape from the mansion when he was about to starve to death.

For Qin Mingzhu, this incident was just a very small episode in her life from childhood to adulthood.

She is the apple of the Qin family's eye. Helping others is a common thing for her. Not to mention the little beggars in the mansion, even if she sees someone on the street, she can't help but lend a hand. Madam Qin has adopted countless orphans over the years, and many of them are hers.

Although Qin Mingzhu was only responsible for opening the mouth, Madam Qin was responsible for the rest of the process...

However, for Yan Fengxiao, that steamed bun was his life.

If it weren't for Qin Mingzhu, he would have died that winter.

No one would know that Governor Yan, who had fought his way out of the battlefield and never been interested in women, already had a ray of light in his heart. Apart from that, everything was dark.

However, when he returned to the imperial city, he had already learned that the Marquis's Mansion and the General's Mansion were engaged.

He had thought about doing something, but looking back, Yan Fengxiao found that he had no position to even stop this marriage.

Qin Mingzhu was not familiar with him at all. Compared with his brother who had an excellent reputation and a bright future in the capital, he, a man who had crawled out of the mud and purgatory and was full of blood, seemed to have no qualifications for her at all.

If he hadn't been unwilling, he wouldn't have attended the wedding banquet that day.

It was just an accident.

Even so, he knew that he had done something wrong. In order not to affect Qin Mingzhu's reputation, he knocked Yan Qinghao unconscious with his own hands, left him on the floor of the room for the whole night, and kicked him hard in the body before leaving.

And all the people involved in this matter have long since disappeared from this world.

When Mrs. Qin heard Yan Fengxiao say this, she almost bit her lips until they bled.

"Who did this?"

Her eyes widened, anger dancing in them.

Mrs. Qin did not doubt Yan Fengxiao's words.

Because she had heard of Yan Fengxiao, even when the princess showed her affection for him and made it clear that she wanted to marry him, he did not agree.

A man of Yan Fengxiao's status and position can have any woman he wants, so there is no need for him to do anything shameful.

So, she also suspected that it was an accident.

Yan Fengxiao answered Madam Qin's words very seriously.

"She was Yan Qinghao's mistress, and she's dead."

Qin Mingzhu was surprised for a moment.

The so-called concubine is the woman that Yan Qinghao hides outside and is not in a legitimate relationship with.

The other party obviously did not get the chance to enter the Marquis' Mansion, and even failed to get the position of a concubine. It is easy to imagine how she would feel when she knew that Qin Mingzhu was sent into the Marquis' Mansion in a sedan chair carried by eight people.

In this case, it makes sense that the other party would try every possible means to deal with her...

Yan Qinghao is really amazing. He can make every woman fall in love with him and become jealous of him.

Qin Mingzhu suddenly walked forward and grabbed Yan Fengxiao's arm from the side.

It's not a good idea to let a governor kneel on the ground and talk all the time.

"Commander, please stand up first."

Yan Fengxiao pursed his lips and just looked at Madam Qin.

He didn't get up in a hurry, as if he was waiting for Mrs. Qin's attitude.

Madam Qin recovered, rubbed her brows and said, "Mingzhu, quickly help the governor up."

Qin Mingzhu looked at him and pulled him up from the ground with force.

Seeing that he was still kneeling, Qin Mingzhu couldn't help but ask, "Why, are you planning to make me kneel with you and serve tea to my mother?"

Yan Fengxiao: “…”

The man was silent for a moment, but at this moment he finally stood up.

Mrs. Qin finally felt that the pressure was not so great. After knowing the truth, she certainly would not resent Yan Fengxiao.

The person who harmed her daughter is the real culprit.

Although this matter was a coincidence, it is not necessarily a bad thing. Yan Qinghao is not a good husband. Not only does he keep a mistress outside, but he also makes his newlywed wife suffer. In the eyes of Mrs. Qin, the entire Yan family is now a dangerous place.

"Commander, how do you plan to deal with your relationship with Mingzhu? Look, she's about to give birth. Even though she's also from the Yan family, there will still be endless trouble."

Yan Fengxiao heard Madam Qin's gentle questioning, slowly looked at Qin Mingzhu, and then said: "Madam Qin, for Mingzhu's reputation, this matter cannot be exposed for the time being."

His eyes gradually became extremely deep: "But as long as she wants, I can give her my life..."
