Jiujiu pulled Xu Ruyun's hand and sat down beside her.
"Mom, I gave my grandparents a lot of gifts. Are you happy?"
Xu Ruyun patted Qiuqiu's head and said, "Qiuqiu, Mommy is very happy. Grandparents must be very happy too. Our Qiuqiu is really good and very sensible!"
The three carriages circled the entrance of the Qi residence once more before heading towards the Grand Tutor's mansion.
Old Madam Qi was so angry that she cried and screamed.
But no matter how angry she was, she dared not say another bad word about Qiuqiu.
I only have myself to blame for kicking Chiu Chiu out of the house so early.
Nowadays, they are beyond our reach and their status is beyond description.
Madam Qi was filled with regret.
To celebrate Qiuqiu being bestowed the title of princess, the entrance to the Grand Tutor's mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers.
Grand Tutor Xu hosted a three-day lavish banquet for his guests.
At this moment, after finishing the meal, Grand Tutor Xu was seeing off the guests.
Three impressive carriages pulled up in front of the Grand Tutor's mansion.
The leader of the group bowed to the Grand Tutor: "Grand Tutor Xu, we are here on the orders of Princess Wanguo to deliver three cartloads of gifts to you. Please accept them with pleasure!"
The guests all gave it a thumbs up.
"Grand Tutor Xu is truly blessed; his granddaughter is a princess from a foreign land, and she is so filial to you!"
"Yes, Grand Tutor Xu, just wait and enjoy your good fortune in the future!"
"Grand Tutor Xu is a role model for us all. He is someone we can only look up to but cannot reach!"
Everyone flattered Grand Tutor Xu, praising and complimenting him from time to time.
Grand Tutor Xu was extremely happy, both outwardly and inwardly.
Xu Ruyun's divorce once made the traditional Grand Tutor Xu feel that he had lost face.
But now, all the gloom has dissipated.
Qi Jiating was drinking in the tavern upstairs when he looked down and saw the grandeur of the Grand Tutor's mansion.
The friend across the way comforted Qi Jiating, saying, "Stop watching, it's none of your business anymore!"
Qi Jia took a big gulp of wine, then collapsed onto the table and wept bitterly.
Qi Jiating cried and said, "Yes, it's all unrelated to me now! I was so confused, so confused!"
Qi Jiating cried and slammed his fist on the table, saying, "How could I be so foolish! I did so many stupid things! I can't forgive myself!"
The other people in the tavern pointed and whispered about Qi Jiating.
"Isn't this Lord Qi? I heard he kicked his wife out and severed ties with his children."
"Yes, that's how it is now. His daughter isn't his anymore, and so many excellent sons aren't his anymore either."
Qi Jiating remained unmoved by the crowd's discussions.
Because he is the laughing stock of the capital.
He had heard countless such discussions, both overt and covert.
After hearing it so many times, you become numb to it.
However, the next sentence suddenly brought him to his senses.
"Unfortunately, the two children he has with him now are not his."
"Judging from his expression, he probably doesn't know yet."
"Everyone in the city knows about this. Surely he's the only one who doesn't know?"
Qi Jiating's eyes were bloodshot. He stood up unsteadily, grabbed one person by the collar, and said, "What did you just say? Say it again!"
The man said cautiously, "Your two children are not your biological children. Didn't you know that?"
Qi Jiating asked, "Which two children aren't mine?"
"Those two kids you had with your mistress! No, now that mistress has been officially recognized as your wife!"
Qi Jiating would cry for a while, then smile bitterly.
He looked at the others and said, "You're saying the whole city knows? And I'm the only one who doesn't?"
The others nodded at Qi Jiating.
Qi Jiating looked at his friend and said, "You already knew, didn't you?"
His friend sighed and nodded.
Qi Jiating roared, "Why didn't you tell me? You kept me in the dark like a fool!"
"Jiating, we're just worried about making you sad."
Qi Jiating: "Sad and heartbroken? Heh! So what about now? Now everyone else knows, but I don't, so I'm not sad anymore, right?"
His friend explained, "No, that's not it..."
Qi Jiating left the tavern before listening to his friend's explanation, and stumbled toward the Qi residence.
It started pouring rain outside.
Qi Jiating didn't dodge, and walked home unsteadily.
He preferred to believe that everything outside was a rumor.
He simply couldn't believe that the two children he cherished so much weren't his own.
If that were the case, it would be even more painful than killing him.
He abandoned his own outstanding children, yet devoted himself to raising other people's children.
The most shameful thing is that he actually gave up his own outstanding children in order to include other children in his family genealogy.
No, I must ask her myself and get to the bottom of this.
Maybe it's all a misunderstanding.
This isn't true.
It can't be true!
Qi Jiating comforted himself and staggered home.
To surprise his family, he secretly climbed over the wall this time.
Unexpectedly, as he climbed over the wall and walked behind the house in the backyard, he overheard Xiao Zhenzhen talking to a man.
Xiao Zhenzhen cried and sobbed as she told the man about all the bad things Qi Jiating had done to her.
The man kept comforting her, saying, "Zhenzhen, I'll take you away right now. At worst, our family can go somewhere where no one knows us. We can still live a carefree and happy life then."
Qi Jiating's heart pounded: Family?
But he still listened patiently and quietly until the end.
Xiao Zhenzhen said to the man, "If Qi Jiating knew that Gao Ming and Jin Lan weren't his children, he would definitely beat me to death!"
