Trying every possible means to make Su Qingli give birth to a child
Yinhan's words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples.
A stranger who had only known Su Qingli for a few days was actually better than him. He could make Su Qingli laugh heartily, and she would meet him behind his back every now and then.
"Sure enough, all women are the same, looking down on disabled men like me!" Qi Jinqian's eyes narrowed and darkened.
Yesterday he secretly sneaked into the palace and made an appointment with Concubine Xie to meet in the most remote and deserted corner of the cold palace. During the meeting, he also had an argument with Concubine Xie.
The two argued endlessly, and Concubine Xie implied that she disliked Qi Jinqian because he was a cripple, and that she was blind to board the wrong pirate ship with him, and would regret it for the rest of her life.
"If you hadn't ruined my life and manipulated me to fight for power and gain for you, I wouldn't be living a miserable life like you, unable to hold my head up high!"
The two words "this palace" hurt his remaining self-esteem. She still wanted to be the emperor's woman and be favored by the emperor.
He was so angry that he was fuming. He grabbed Concubine Xie's neck and said, "You are dreaming! Your Majesty is my eldest sister's man in life and my eldest sister's ghost in death. You are not worthy of having even a little bit of her. If you don't want Xiao Qiao to be sold to a brothel, then you must obey my orders."
"Qi Jinqian, you're crazy. Qiao'er is also your biological daughter."
"Xie Lanxin, you are stupid. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs, so what's the big deal about sacrificing a daughter? There are countless women who want to bear children for me. The noble lady Su Qingli, who once caused a sensation in Kyoto, is one of them!"
…
The tough words he had said earlier were now difficult to fulfill. Asking Su Qingli to give birth to his child was even more difficult than tricking Concubine Xie into getting pregnant and giving birth to a daughter.
Concubine Xie had no experience in love, and he was her first lover, while Su Qingli had been through two love affairs, so it was not easy to coax her into willingly giving birth to a child for the Qi family.
"Sixth Master, do you need your subordinates to help you stir up trouble?"
Yinhan grinned cunningly, and a foolproof idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
Qi Jinqian saw through Yin Han's thoughts, his black pupils as deep as the abyss, and he spoke with a solemn oath: "Women can have miscarriages during their first pregnancy. Even if she doesn't give birth to our child, she can't escape my Five Finger Mountain."
"I don't know what's so good about those men out there. Why can't Sixth Madam understand your good intentions? Being a Sixth Madam in the Qi Mansion is better than being a concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion. You treat Sixth Madam's family better than the Prime Minister himself."
Yinhan couldn't understand why Su Qingli was indifferent. His Sixth Master tried his best, but she turned a deaf ear to him.
"Maybe I'm too good to her, that's why she's so confident."
Qi Jinqian was fed up with this kind of trouble where the flower has feelings but the water is ruthless, so he decided to start with her family.
Just cut off Su Huaihai's source of income. This old man is extremely greedy. Ever since Su Qingli got married, he has shamelessly come to him to ask for money.
On this day, Su Huaihai lost all his money again. He wanted to get it back and came to Qi Jinqian to ask for it openly.
"Son-in-law Qi, I have something to talk to you about. Can I have a moment to talk?"
The dazzling sunlight spread across the ground. Qi Jinqian, dressed in plain brocade, slowly turned his wheelchair, and the two wheels rolled slowly on the scorching ground. "Father-in-law, if you have any questions, please tell me directly. I will help you if I can."
Su Huaihai became more and more addicted to gambling. His old face was filled with a smile. He stretched out his long right arm and opened his palm. "You can definitely help me. I'll ask you for some money."
Unfortunately, Qi Jinqian didn't let Su Huaihai take whatever he wanted like he had done several times before. "Father-in-law, please forgive me for asking a few more questions, but what did you do with the money? If you used it to gamble, I would be harming you if I gave you more money."
Su Huaihai was outspoken. He couldn't hide his love of gambling from Qi Jinqian, so he simply told him the truth: "Small gambling is good for the heart, but big gambling is harmful to the body. I only gamble a little, and it doesn't cost much money. Son-in-law Qi, don't you want to be filial to me, your father-in-law?"
"It's not that I don't want to honor you. It's just that my father is very cautious. He checks the whereabouts of my money and manages the accounts of the family, so he won't let me spend it casually. My father also thinks that I spent it on A-li, but A-li and I have been married for several months, and she still hasn't conceived. My father is very unhappy..."
Qi Jinqian hesitated to speak and deliberately put on an embarrassed expression in front of Su Huaihai so that he could put pressure on Su Qingli next.
"So it's Li'er's pregnancy that's causing her trouble. Last month, her mother and I asked Zhaoming to take her to Lingyan Temple to pray for a child. We heard from people around us that Lingyan Temple is very effective for praying for children. Could it be that we were deceived? I have to go to Lingyan Temple to ask for an explanation!"
Su Huaihai blamed Lingyan Temple for not getting the money. With anger in his eyes, he stiffened his neck and rolled up his sleeves, as if he was about to rush to Lingyan Temple immediately.
"Father-in-law, Ah Li doesn't want to have a child so soon. Even if she visits many temples, it's all in vain. She's been out and about alone lately and has made a male friend. I vaguely heard that this man is a businessman."
Qi Jinqian had a forbearing look on his face, sighed softly, and followed the routine he had designed.
He had heard Yin Han's description before that the two people with their faces covered by veils were wearing long gowns and jackets, and most businessmen dressed like this, so he made up a story and accidentally connected the two together.
"Li'er is not willing to have children for the time being. Is she a male businessman friend? This girl is not still thinking about her useless wallet business! We will help you persuade her more later."
Su Huaihai muttered the key words, his temples pounding wildly, and he was so angry that he was addicted to gambling.
Qi Jinqian smiled and bowed, pleading a few words, "Thank you, father-in-law, but please don't let it slip. Ah Li is pregnant, and father will pay attention to her. Then I will have extra money for you to spend."
Having said that, Su Huaihai heard that Qi Jinqian was powerless, so he responded unhappily and angrily returned to the Su residence to discuss with Mrs. Su how to induce labor.
After all, the belly belongs to Su Qingli, so it will only work with Su Qingli's consent.
The next evening, after school, Su Zhaoming came to the Qi residence and took Su Qingli by the hand, whispering, "Sister, father and mother want you to go back home. They have something to tell you."
Su Qingli didn't think much of it, thinking it was just some trivial family matters. She hadn't been home to visit her family for a while. She raised the corners of her lips and smiled sweetly, "Brother, wait for me. I'll go tell Caiyao and go back to the Su residence with you."
Su Huaihai felt uncomfortable if he didn't gamble for a day. He waited outside the gambling house several times but couldn't get in. He returned to the Su residence in a irritable mood. Mrs. Su beside him couldn't understand where his huge anger came from.
Su Huaihai had broken a bunch of cups and plates in the house, and the servant was cleaning up the scattered debris.
