So, he pretended to be at home and pretended that there was someone at the door, to see who could outlast the other!
Dugu Yu knelt in the snow for a whole night. His legs were frozen and numb, but he still didn't move.
His hair, eyebrows, and even eyelashes turned white, and the warmed snow water under his pants froze into ice, connecting his legs to the floor.
The people coming and going on the street were pointing and whispering, but he pretended not to see or hear anything. He didn't even go to the morning court, so why was he afraid of those gossipy people?
He will never leave until he sees his wife!
…
Qin Qingyao didn't sleep well that night. Her mother was really angry and couldn't be comforted no matter what she did.
Not only did her brothers and sisters not help her, they also advised her to change her ways and even dug up her dark history of returning to her parents' home three times.
She keeps saying that she has seen through King Wu Ling, and it would be better if this marriage is cancelled, because our Qin family is not worthy of her!
Qin Qingyao was really tired. Please, she and Dugu Yu had just had two days of good times. What are you trying to do?
She really didn't understand why the plot had gone so awry.
Is it because she and Dugu Yu violated the setting of the original novel that they would live together until death and never have any contact with each other, and started to be sweet and loving to each other, so she got retribution?
Isn't Lin Xiafeng the protagonist of this book? Shouldn't the story revolve around Lin Xiafeng?
Why do you keep harassing her and Dugu Yu? She is just a supporting role!
Qin Qingyao was very depressed, but she also felt sorry for her mother and did not dare to betray her.
A night passed like this. She thought her mother would feel better, but she didn't. Her father was also furious. He didn't even go to the morning court for such a small matter?
Is that really the case? Wouldn't the Emperor have any objections to your being so willful?
…
Zhao Jinghan and a few of his men looked at Dugu Yu kneeling at the door of the Qin family from afar, their hearts bleeding.
The Qin family is so cruel. When has their prince ever been so humble and begged others?
He knelt for a whole night in this horrible weather, and they didn’t even open the door. Aren’t they afraid that the prince would freeze to death?
Wu Gang was very melancholy. "Why didn't the Qin family come out? Even the princess didn't come out? If the princess knew that the prince had knelt in the snow all night, wouldn't she feel sad?"
Zhao Jinghan suddenly had an idea, "I doubt the princess even knows that the prince is outside!"
Everyone nodded and agreed.
"Wu Gang and Wu Yu, don't you two know where the princess's courtyard is?"
"Know!"
"You guys sneak in first to check on the princess and find a way to tell her that the prince is outside!"
"Yes, we'll go now!"
…
Qin Yuelin did not have to attend court, so he got up late and prepared to go to the military camp. He found that the door of his house was closed, and the doormen were all trembling with fear, lying on the crack of the door and looking out.
Qin Yuelin couldn't help but twitch his lips. What happened? Were they surrounded by soldiers outside?
"What are you looking at?"
Qin Yuelin's words startled the other servants, who immediately knelt on the ground and whispered in a low voice, "Third Young Master, King Wu Ling is still kneeling outside!"
Qin Yuelin scratched his ears, thinking he had misheard, "Who did you say was kneeling outside?"
"Your Highness Prince Wu Ling, you've been kneeling all night!"
Qin Yuelin walked over and leaned over to take a look through the crack in the door. Sure enough, it was the giant Buddha statue of King Wu Ling kneeling at the door of his house!
There was no living creature within ten meters behind him, and ten meters away were people jostling each other to watch the fun.
"What is King Wu Ling doing?"
Xiao Si leaned over and whispered in Qin Yuelin's ear, "I heard that yesterday the master asked Prince Wu Ling to write a letter of divorce, but the prince refused to write it. The master did not allow the prince to visit the third young lady, so the prince went out and knelt."
Qin Yuelin's eyes were bigger than a cow's.
Asking Prince Wuling to write a divorce letter? Did his sister agree?
But that doesn't seem to be the main point anymore. The main point is that King Wu Ling would rather kneel down and apologize than write a letter?!
Qin Yuelin was touched and angry, and felt it was totally incomprehensible. Do you care about my sister or not?
I didn’t know how to cherish what I got, and now I don’t know if I was just acting!
But no matter what Prince Wu Ling was going to do, someone from the Qin family had to speak up, right? How could they let such a dignified prince kneel like that all the time?
So, he hurried to Qin Qingyao's yard to look for someone.
As soon as he entered, he saw the guards of King Wu Ling playing the victim in front of Qin Qingyao, saying how sincere and pitiful the prince was for kneeling all night...
The touch in Qin Yuelin's heart was instantly shattered. He thought it was a sincere apology, but it turned out to be a trick to torture his sister?
Knowing that this girl is crazy about him, how could she bear to see him suffer and be wronged?
The more Qin Yuelin thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt that Dugu Yu deserved to kneel for three nights. It was his fault for humiliating others!
Then he turned his anger on Wu Gang and Wu Yu, shouting, "What are you doing? How did you get in?"
"The Wuling Palace is simply going too far. What do they think of my Qin family?"
Qin Qingyao's face was full of disbelief, and her eyes were red with heartache.
"Third brother, is what they said true? Is my husband really kneeling outside?"
Qin Yuelin was furious. "You believe this kind of nonsense. Are you brainless? If he would kneel for you all night, why would he humiliate you and our Qin family so much yesterday?"
Wu Gang and Wu Yu stuck their necks out and were very unconvinced. Even if you are the prince's third uncle, you can't talk nonsense like that.
The prince is kneeling at the door like an ice sculpture, and you still say they are talking nonsense. Doesn’t your conscience hurt?
Qin Qingyao was deflated by what Qin Yuelin said. Dugu Yu really didn't seem like someone who would kneel down to someone, let alone kneel for a whole night.
If he had really knelt down all night, what would the street look like now? People would have sold tickets for him and put him on display!
Qin Yuelin felt a little relieved and a little guilty when he saw that his sister believed him.
"Come here, throw them both out! If you let these scoundrels sneak into the palace again, all of you guarding the palace will get out!"
Wu Gang and Wu Yu didn't dare to resist. They were dragged away while desperately defending their prince. "Princess, we really didn't lie. The prince is really kneeling at the door!"
"Princess, please go out and take a look!"
Qin Qingyao had just stood up from the chair when Qin Yuelin pressed her down. "Where are you going? I haven't had breakfast yet. Come eat with me!"
Qin Qingyao glared, "Why are you looking for me for dinner when you don't go to your own wife?"
"Why can't I have dinner with my own sister?"
Qin Qingyao was furious, but was still pulled to the dining table.
"Third brother, tell me the truth, you won't let me go out, is Dugu Yu really at the door?"
Qin Yuelin rolled his eyes and said, "Keep dreaming!"
Qin Qingyao curled her lips and ate angrily. She was full after just two bites.
"Eat slowly, I'm going to go see Daddy!"
Qin Yuelin didn't stop her. It would be better for her to go and talk to her father. Anyway, her father had asked King Wu Ling to write a letter of divorce. You will know sooner or later.
When Qin Qingyao went to find her father, the unprecedented news that King Wuling knelt down to apologize to the Qin family had spread throughout the streets and alleys of Yulin City.
The old lady of the Yang Mansion heard about it early in the morning.
She knew that Dugu Yu truly knew his mistake and wanted to explain things to the Qin family and live a good life with Qin Qingyao, but she never expected that Dugu Yu would go to such lengths for Qin Qingyao.
It seems that Dugu Yu really cares about his princess more than she imagined, and the two farces yesterday should be over.
The old lady didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and took a carriage to the Qin family with Madam Hu.
Ma'am Hu went forward and knocked on the door. The servant from the Qin residence was also peeking through the crack of the door. When he saw the old lady, he quickly opened the door. He didn't dare to lock her out no matter what!
But once the door is opened, I can no longer pretend that I didn't see King Wu Ling outside. That would be so embarrassing.
The old lady also knew that King Wu Ling had gone too far this time and had put the Qin family in too high a position, putting them in a difficult position with no way out.
If this is not handled properly and causes trouble to the Qin family, the two families will become enemies in the future.
"Why don't you get out of here right now! What a scene!"
Dugu Yu knew that the old lady was going to take him in, so he stood up quickly, but his knees were frozen and his legs were as cold as if they were falling off. He hesitated for a long time before standing up.
It looked like he was kneeling and unwilling to get up.
As soon as the old lady and Dugu Yu arrived at Minister Qin's study, Qin Qingyao ran over.
Before anyone arrived, a voice penetrated the wall, "Dad, is my husband outside..."
Qin Qingyao was originally unhappy, but when she entered the room and saw the old lady and Dugu Yu, her heart blossomed instantly, and her face was as bright as fireworks.
When Dugu Yu saw Qin Qingyao's smiling face without any grudge, he felt more uncomfortable and guilty than when he was treated coldly by Qin Shangshu. He couldn't help but feel a sore nose and hot eyes.
"Husband! Old Lady, you're here too..."
Minister Qin looked at his daughter's useless appearance and felt so sorry for her misfortune and angry at her for not fighting for her. He was so angry that he couldn't even stand still.
"Who asked you to come? You're so reckless! Do you have any manners?"
Dugu Yu got angry when he saw Minister Qin being mean to his wife. You can be mean to me if you want, but why are you being mean to my wife?
Qin Qingyao didn't care at all that her father was almost having a heart attack from anger. Seeing Dugu Yu's miserable appearance covered in white frost, her eyes suddenly turned red with heartache and she rushed over to him.
"Husband, what's wrong with you? Are you really going to kneel outside all night?"
I looked down at his clothes at the knees, and there were still ice chips on them.
Dugu Yu didn't feel much after being pointed at by the people all morning. But when he looked at Qin Qingyao's eyes which were as red as a rabbit's, he felt extremely embarrassed.
When I was troubled by Minister Qin, I wanted to let her know that I wanted her to feel sorry for me, but when I really saw her distressed and sad look, I couldn't bear to let her go.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Minister Qin was so angry when he saw his daughter's lack of principles and worthlessness that he blew his beard and glared at her. "Of course he's fine. What could possibly happen to him? Get out of here!"
Qin Qingyao not only refused to go back, but also stood in front of Dugu Yu and glared at her father, "Why are you so fierce? Can't you just talk it out nicely?"
