When my son grows up, he won't abandon me as his father.

At this moment, Qi Mingyu no longer thought about future glory; he only wanted to save his life.

Seeing his expression, Qi Maosheng sighed again and said:

"Mingyu, I understand everything you're saying."

Everyone is afraid of being blamed, so please be understanding.

They say that when a person dies, their debts are wiped out. Only when you're gone will everyone's lives probably get better.

Don't blame us for being heartless; it's just that these are tough times for everyone.

Qi Mingyu was desperate. He knew that as long as his clansmen didn't care about him, he would be helpless.

Even if he doesn't starve to death, he'll die of thirst.

But he was unwilling to accept it. His life should have been full of glory, so how did it turn out like this?

Chi, it's all her fault.

Now, she has absorbed all her good fortune, which is why she has been made a princess.

Otherwise, why would she, an illiterate hunter from the deep mountains, be granted such an honor?

Logically speaking, he should have been granted a high-ranking official position and a title of nobility in the future!

Despite his deep resentment, Qi Mingyu suppressed his anger and forced a bitter smile onto his face.

"Brother Maosheng, I don't want to make things difficult for the clan either."

How about this, one month? Let me live for another month.

Even if I don't die a month later, you can let me die of thirst and hunger as you please.

Qi Mingyu wanted to use this month to try and recover his health.

He didn't want to die. He had finally found hope in life, so how could he be willing to die?

If someone is willing to help him within this month, he can survive.

As long as he can survive, he will find a way to cure himself.

Then I'll take the imperial examinations and kill those foolish clansmen.

They're all just opportunists.

In the past, when he had a chance to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, people would try their best to curry favor with him.

Now that he's like this, and Chi Shi has become a princess, they want to kill him.

Ah, once he passes the imperial examination and becomes a Juren or even a Jinshi, he will immediately change his clan name and his mother's surname.

Qi Maosheng had no idea what Qi Mingyu was thinking.

It was impossible for him to take care of Qi Mingyu for so long, nor was it possible for him to take care of him.

So he shook his head: "Nobody has that kind of free time. I've already done my best to give you water and food."

That's settled then. Anyway, I've been here and explained the situation to you.

Please also understand how difficult it is for everyone!

After saying that, he got up and left without caring what Qi Mingyu thought.

Qi Mingyu was furious, but he dared not shout.

He was afraid that if he did this, Qi Maosheng would get angry and smother him to death.

After Qi Maosheng left, Qi Mingyu turned his head and looked around.

Seeing that there was still water in the ladle, he placed it not far from his hand.

As long as he can get his hands on it and drinks it sparingly, he can live a few more days just by drinking water.

He wanted to live, one more day at a time.

After all, no one knows whether a benefactor will come to his rescue at any moment!

Perhaps Zhong Wenming will think that he and the princess have a son, and then come to help him?

What Qi Mingyu didn't know was that Zhong Wenming did indeed have this idea.

However, not knowing what Princess Chi Yu was thinking, he didn't dare to take any action.

His first consideration was the relationship between the second wife and the princess.

His cousin was the niece-in-law of a princess.

When the second wife moved out, it didn't end well; she was essentially left with nothing.

He was afraid that if he went to help Qi Mingyu without understanding the situation, the second branch of the family would take the opportunity to deal with them.
