bridal chamber disturbance
"Mian'er, don't cry. Your snot and tears have stained my sleeves. Men from the Qi family don't shed tears easily." Qi Jinqian touched Qi Mian's little head.
"Sixth uncle, Brother Mian is just heartbroken, so please don't be too harsh on him. Today is a good day for you to be released from prison. I will order the servants in the mansion to set off two strings of firecrackers." Qi Caiyao smiled and walked around behind Qi Jinqian, pushing the wheelchair.
Su Qingli trotted towards Qi Jinqian in surprise, and couldn't help crying with joy, "Jinqian, you can finally go home!"
However, an imperceptible cold light flashed in Qi Jinqian's eyes. His sudden release must not be at the emperor's request. If the emperor came forward, the Ministry of Personnel would notify the people in Qi's mansion.
The only possibility is that Su Qingli asked Fu Xuechen for help.
Qi Jinqian said softly with a forced smile, "Ali, I'm sorry you were worried during the days I was away."
"As long as you return safely, I have no other extravagant requests. Even if I cannot be reinstated, I will always be by your side."
Su Qingli felt guilty when she saw Qi Jinqian, who had lost weight, and she vowed to compensate Qi Jinqian.
"I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes. You guys wait for me outside. Mian'er is a man, he can just follow me in."
Qi Jinqian motioned Qi Mian to go with him, as he had some questions that he couldn't ask in front of Su Qingli.
The uncle and nephew came to a bathhouse in the mansion. This bathhouse on the west side was exclusively for Qi Jinqian. He always loved cleanliness and had the habit of bathing every day.
Entering the bathhouse, Qi Jinqian asked softly, "Mian'er, has your sixth aunt been out of the house these past two days?"
"Sixth Aunt went out yesterday. She was worried about you suffering in prison. It was raining heavily, so she ran to the Ministry of Personnel alone to visit you, but she was not as lucky as last time. The people from the Ministry of Personnel would not let her in."
Qi Mian roughly repeated what Su Qingli had told him yesterday.
"Really? What a coincidence!" Qi Jinqian sneered and narrowed his eyes, suspecting that Su Qingli and Fu Xuechen had done some shady deal.
"What do you mean by that, Uncle Six? I don't understand."
Qi Mian stared at Qi Jinqian and asked him questions, as what he said sounded too weird.
"It's nothing, I just remembered something, it's not something you kids can interfere with." Qi Jinqian responded with a few words in a light tone.
After a while, several maids came in one after another, holding brocade clothes and walking in an orderly manner.
With the help of several maids, Qi Jinqian was washed clean from head to toe. When he put on his moon-white double-breasted robe, he looked like a spotless nobleman.
Firecrackers crackled outside the door. Qi Caiyao covered her ears and happily jumped in front of Qi Jinqian's wheelchair. "Sixth uncle, I wish our family all the best and freedom from the pain of separation."
The two children accompanied Qi Jinqian for the entire day, and Minister Qi was so happy when he returned home that night, "Changle wanted to save you, but the eldest princess showed up and ruined her marriage with Fu Xuechen."
When Su Qingli heard the name Fu Xuechen, her heart skipped a beat unconsciously. Is he going to get married so soon?
Isn’t there a Liu Meishuang in the Prime Minister’s Mansion?
Could it be that the eldest princess is the one Fu Xuechen holds dearest to his heart!
She went to beg him yesterday, no wonder he refused to touch her. It turned out that he had already pursued his sweetheart, so he was unwilling to touch her and drove her out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Qi Jinqian’s release from prison may be thanks to the eldest princess, who is a sister of Princess Changle.
"Changle is a good child. It's a good thing she wasn't betrothed to a treacherous man like Fu Xuechen. He abused his power for personal gain and persecuted me into prison. He's truly unworthy of Changle. Changle deserves a better man."
Although Qi Jinqian cares more about his own life, he also cares about the bloodline of the entire Qi family. The Qi family is where he can recuperate and settle down, and the Qi family members are also his pillars. They rely on each other.
"Jin Qian, I would rather die than believe you would favor that playboy He Zefeng. The Prime Minister must have made a mistake. You were released because he must have found out that you were wrongly accused."
Su Qingli didn't want to see the Qi family and Fu Xuechen become enemies. This time Qi Jinqian was imprisoned in the Ministry of Personnel, and it was useless for Minister Qi to ask the emperor for help. It was obvious that the Qi family was no match for Fu Xuechen.
It is better to have less trouble than more. If you can't afford to provoke someone, it is better not to provoke them.
Minister Qi's face was wrinkled. Even the emperor was helpless with Fu Xuechen. "Ali is right. It's good for our Qi family to avoid this plague god. As a father, I can't bear to see you suffer in the prison of the Ministry of Personnel for no reason."
"Ali and him have been married for two years. The Su family has treated him so badly before. He humiliated me this time, he must be trying to get revenge on Ali and the Su family. He can bully me, but not Ali!"
Qi Jinqian announced to everyone present in a firm tone, pulled Su Qingli to sit on his lap, put his arms around her waist and held her fair and soft hands tightly.
Su Qingli was afraid of pressing on his legs, so she wanted to stand up to maintain the proper distance between them, but Qi Jinqian held her tightly.
Unable to move, Su Qingli had no choice but to remain silent. Qi Jinqian's behavior at this moment was different from usual and very different from what they had agreed to do. Coming to her senses, she gently advised, "Jinqian, don't act on impulse. I'm safe and sound in the Qi family. You don't have to stand up for me. Listen to your father!"
"I'll listen to A-Li and my father."
Qi Jinqian held the warm and soft beauty in his arms, and was fascinated by the elegant fragrance on her body.
"My sixth uncle and sixth aunt have such a good relationship." Qi Caiyao smiled with her eyes curved, and clapped her hands together in joy.
Qi Mian chuckled, revealing two small canine teeth. "On the day Sixth Uncle was captured, he hadn't yet consummated his marriage with Sixth Aunt. My cousin and I had planned to join the rest of the brothers and sisters in making trouble in the bridal chamber. It's all the fault of that Prime Minister, humph!"
"I've been dismissed from my post and have nothing to do. I can proceed with the marriage consummation now. Don't look at anything inappropriate, and don't let this young man, who hasn't even fully grown his hair, come and mess with me."
Qi Jinqian gave Yinhan a wink, and Yinhan understood immediately. He took two steps at a time and pushed the wheelchair towards the bridal chamber.
"Sixth Uncle, I'm going to make trouble in your bridal chamber." Qi Mian likes the hustle and bustle. Last time he failed to make it, he became playful.
The maid in the mansion stopped Qi Mian who was rushing forward and shouted, "Young Master, please don't disturb the Sixth Madam and the Sixth Master's good times. They have been reunited for a long time and they probably have a lot of private things to talk about."
Qi Caiyao had no particular interest in matters between men and women. She waved with a bow and arrow, "Brother Mian, you're already a year older, yet you're still so playful. Come and practice archery with me."
A few days ago, Qi Caiyao had read a story about a female general serialized in a comic book. The female general's arrows never missed their targets and she could take the head of the enemy leader from a hundred miles away. Qi Caiyao applauded and became obsessed with archery.
