Minister Qin was so angry that he fell backwards. What a heartless girl, she only knew how to twist her arm outward!
If you still protect others at this time, you will be bullied to death sooner or later!
Minister Qin couldn't be too harsh on Dugu Yu in front of the old lady, as he had a lot of things to say but Qin Yuelin didn't have so many concerns.
Seeing my younger sister defending King Wu Ling like that, my heart was filled with sourness. Is it really true that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled?
This is your mother's home. If they ignore Dugu Yu, aren't they speaking up for you? Can't you tell the good from the bad?
"You silly girl, you're still protecting him at this time. Can you be more ambitious? You'll be bullied to death sooner or later!"
Dugu Yu was pulled into someone's arms, "I won't let anyone bully her!"
Qin Yuelin wanted to jump up, "How dare you say that? You are the one who bullied her the most!"
Dugu Yu lowered his head in reflection, pursed his lips and said nothing.
The old lady cleared her throat and said, "Ahem, Minister Qin, I came here this time to explain a few things to your Qin family on behalf of Prince Wu Ling."
"I'm not saying anything good for him. No matter what, he did something wrong and brought shame to the Qin family. He deserves to be punished."
"However, there really is a misunderstanding here. Lord Qin, I beg you to give me some respect and listen to what King Wu Ling has to say."
Minister Qin curled his beard and asked, "Let's see what flower you can name!"
Dugu Yu spoke frankly, he had absolutely no romantic feelings towards Princess Anli, and giving her a pair of jade pendants was just a blessing, and he didn't know what the deeper meaning of the jade pendants he gave her was.
Minister Qin was furious again, and he overheard something that made him uncomfortable. "You came to ask for marriage yourself. You were the one who asked to marry my daughter first. Why haven't you even seen your own marriage token?"
"Haha, I don't think you've ever really cared about it. Why did you marry my Yao'er in the first place?"
Dugu Yu: “…”
Qin Qingyao was stunned for a moment. She knew better than anyone why Dugu Yu married her, but could she say this?
If I were to tell the truth, I guess Minister Qin would not ask Dugu Yu to write a letter of divorce, but would directly slap him in the face with a letter of divorce and tell him to get out of here as far away as possible!
Qin Qingyao walked over, took Qin Shangshu's hand and started to act coquettishly, "Oh, Dad, what are you doing? Calm down, calm down, didn't my husband say it was all a misunderstanding?"
"Besides, we've been married for almost half a year now, and you're only now trying to figure out why he married me. It makes you seem so irresponsible as a father!"
Minister Qin really wanted to flip the table, and this heartless guy was blaming him?
It was obvious that Dugu Yu had deliberately concealed the truth and had done everything to make it foolproof. How could he know?
"Besides, what's the point of you being so persistent? Are you really not going to let our daughter live with him? Are you really going to divorce him?"
As soon as Qin Qingyao said this, Dugu Yu's whole body stiffened immediately. He looked at Qin Shangshu anxiously, as if he was ready to snatch the person away if Qin Shangshu mentioned writing a divorce letter again.
"If I really divorce the prince, who will I marry? Who would dare to marry me?"
"If I marry someone who's not as good as King Wu Ling, wouldn't that be a laughing stock? Those with better status, higher position, and better looks than him, then... wouldn't the only ones with that last name be him?"
The only person with better conditions and higher status than him is the one with the surname Ling.
Minister Qin widened his eyes and wanted to shut Qin Qingyao's mouth. This damn girl really dared to say such nonsense!
How could someone with the surname Ling marry the divorced princess of Prince Wu Ling's palace!
"If you just calm down and smile, you can pick up a prince as your son-in-law for free. What a great deal!"
Minister Qin was so angry at his unreasonable daughter that he laughed, "A son-in-law picked up for free? I think I've raised a daughter like you for nothing!"
Qin Qingyao patted her father's chest and said, "It's not in vain that I raised you. Now you have another one. My husband will definitely be as filial to you as I am to him!"
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Dugu Yu, "Right, husband?"
Dugu Yu nodded decisively without any hindrance, "Yes."
Minister Qin snorted coldly, "Don't be like me. If I follow your way of being 'filial', I will shorten my life by ten years!"
Qin Qingyao grinned at his father, "Hehe..."
Minister Qin was neither angry nor happy. If he continued to be so relentless, it would seem that he was being unreasonable.
This obsessed girl only knows how to protect her man. If you get bullied again in the future, don’t blame your family for not supporting you!
"Why don't you take the prince to wash up and eat? You're jumping around like that, not at all dignified!"
Qin Qingyao bowed repeatedly, "Okay, Dad. Thank you, Dad!"
Dugu Yu, "Thank you, Dad!"
The old lady, “…”
Qin Yuelin, “…”
Qin Qingyao: "My husband, what did you just say?"
Dugu Yu, "Thank you, Dad."
Compared to the three people who looked shocked, Minister Qin seemed much calmer. It wasn't the first time that King Wuling called him dad, so there was nothing to be surprised about!
But yesterday there were only the two of them, and today there were so many people, and the old lady of the Yang family was still there, so Minister Qin's vanity was greatly satisfied.
I wanted to laugh but couldn't because I was pretending to be arrogant, and my face was shaking uncontrollably.
Old Lady Yang's mood was really hard to describe. She was still worried that Dugu Yu had treated Qin Qingyao badly and that he wasn't good to her.
But now it seems that if this continues, Dugu Yu will become a son-in-law who marries into the wife's family!
Generally, only when a woman marries into the man's family will she call her parents-in-law "Dad and Mom", while the son-in-law will only call them "Father-in-law" and "Mother-in-law".
Unless the man's family is much lower than the woman's, the woman marries down or becomes a live-in son-in-law.
But Dugu Yu's status is definitely not lower than that of Minister Qin. If he calls him dad, those who are not thick-skinned enough cannot bear it.
…
Qin Qingyao pulled Dugu Yu back to her own courtyard. The old lady was kept by Mrs. Qin to have breakfast. Only then did Minister Qin remember that he had the audacity to not go to court today.
I have to apologize tomorrow, and I’m in a bad mood again.
After Qin Qingyao returned to the house, she quickly ordered the servants to prepare hot water for Dugu Yu to bathe. After being frozen outside all night, he quickly took a hot bath to warm himself up.
Dugu Yu was led by Qin Qingyao all the way to her courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, he leaned forward and held Qin Qingyao in his arms, rubbing his cheek against the top of her head.
Qin Qingyao thought that Dugu Yu had injured his legs from kneeling all night and was about to fall. Just as she was about to support him, she heard him softly say in her ear, "I miss you."
Qin Qingyao's whole body stiffened.
It wasn't just because Dugu Yu, that cold-headed guy, actually said sweet words to her.
It was even more because such a strong man like him would reveal his vulnerability and dependence in front of her without any concealment.
There was even a hint of grievance in his voice.
She stood there without daring to move. Dugu Yu lowered his head and took a deep breath into her neck. The cold tip of his nose touched Qin Qingyao's neck, making her eyes hot and she almost shed tears.
Then he turned around suddenly and hugged Dugu Yu.
"I won't leave you. I said I will protect you forever!"
This was the third time Qin Qingyao said she would protect him.
Dugu Yu felt warm in his heart. The coldness he had suffered from kneeling outside all night was dispelled by Qin Qingyao's simple words and a tight hug.
He really felt that Qin Qingyao might be a little witch with the magical power to bewitch people, and he was willingly captured by her.
To him, there is no warmer harbor in the world than Qin Qingyao's arms, and no scenery more intoxicating than her smile.
The servants, with red faces and lowered heads, quickly prepared hot water as they went back and forth several times. Dugu Yu still hugged Qin Qingyao tightly, as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw.
Qin Qingyao felt a little embarrassed herself, "Hubby, go take a bath and warm up first. I'll go to the kitchen and make you something to eat."
Dugu Yu almost blurted out "I don't want you to leave", but he was too shameless to say it.
Fortunately, he didn't say it out loud, otherwise Qin Qingyao might have misinterpreted it somewhere. He just didn't want Qin Qingyao to be too far away from him, and he definitely didn't mean to let her watch him take a bath!
Zhao Jinghan was also very perceptive. When he saw that the old lady had come out, he knew that this time the difficulties had been overcome.
I just don’t know if the prince can successfully bring the princess back. If he can’t, then the prince might as well just stay in the Qin Mansion and not go back!
So he rushed back to the palace and took out a bunch of clothes from Dugu Yu's wardrobe, even taking his court robes with him.
Qin Qingyao was just about to borrow her elder brother's clothes for Dugu Yu to use, when Zhao Jinghan came to help.
But, taking so much, could it be that he wanted Dugu Yu to stay in the Qin family for the winter?
Zhao Jinghan put down his clothes and quickly slipped away, not daring to stay in the Qin family any longer.
After all, their prince is still guilty at this time, and the Qin family is still in a bad mood. They dare not let them think that King Wu Ling is not here to confess his crime, but to bring his men to bully others by taking advantage of his power.
Anyway, Prince Wu Ling is left alone in the Qin family. You can decide how to deal with him. As long as the princess and the prince can go home, everything will be fine.
They, his subordinates, will definitely not support the prince!
After dinner, the old lady chatted with Madam Qin for a while and praised Qin Qingyao in front of Madam Qin.
Mrs. Qin was in a good mood and gave face to the old lady. The matter was over and no one would pursue it.
After Dugu Yu finished his breakfast, Qin Qingyao pulled him into the room and pressed him onto the bed. "You're late for the morning court anyway, so you can apologize tomorrow. You haven't slept all night, so go get some sleep."
This was Dugu Yu's third time coming to Qin Qingyao's courtyard, but his first time entering her boudoir. Her bed was still the one she had before she got married, which was two sizes smaller than the big bed in Prince Wu Ling's mansion.
Dugu Yu was so big that it looked very out of place for him to lie down on it, but it was just enough for him to stretch his legs.
Dugu Yu was a little nervous. It was his first time entering his wife's bedroom and sleeping on her bed. It was a strange feeling.
Another point is, is it appropriate for him to sleep now? Will the Qin family have any objections?
Wouldn't it seem like he was being disrespectful if he slept in someone else's daughter's room in broad daylight?
What if I make my parents-in-law unhappy again?
