Chapter 358: Rupture
But things are not that simple, and Qin Qixuan doesn't really think that Zhao Zemo will let him go.
Zhao Zemo did not give in, but his attitude was worse than Qin Qixuan and the others imagined.
Originally, Qin Qixuan thought that although the Qin family was not worth mentioning in front of the Jinnan Palace, the Qin family was also a family that the emperor valued. Zhao Zemo had to consider the face of the royal family and would not break up with the Qin family.
However, after listening to Qin Qixuan's words, Zhao Zemo sneered at first, and then changed from sitting to standing, looking down at Qin Qixuan and the second brother.
"You're not too late."
Zhao Zemo's words were meaningful. Qin Qixuan's heart tightened. After careful consideration, he felt relieved, but he was still a little nervous.
"But it's not too late. Even if you know that Wen Yanya is with me, what can you do? There is absolutely no reason to give up the woman I like. Since Wen Yanya is in my house, you can never take her back."
Zhao Zemo said it lightly, but Qin Qixuan felt full of pressure. If they mentioned Wen Yanya again, Zhao Zemo might really drive them out, and even threaten the Qin family.
"Oh, what a pity. I remember that those who dared to come to me to ask for women were tortured and sent away by me. You are so brave that you came directly to Qingfeng Tower to ask me for the girl I like."
Hearing this, Xiao Xixi, who was watching, covered her mouth nervously.
[No way, no way, does Zhao Zemo really want to do something to the eldest and second brothers? No way, we are members of the Qin family after all, how can you not give us any face. ]
However, in fact, Zhao Zemo did not intend to give the Qin family face.
"What a pity! You are so lucky. For the sake of my sister Zhao Shuo'er, I will let you go for now. Just don't mention asking me for Wen Yanya again. I am still looking forward to you, Mr. Qin, becoming my brother-in-law. There is no need to mention these stupid things. As for me, I will just pretend that I didn't hear it. We can still live in peace."
Since Zhao Zemo was a little uninterested, Qin Qixuan knew that the negotiation with Zhao Zemo might not be successful. However, he still didn't give up.
"Prince Ze, you can tell me whatever you want. You can put forward the conditions, and I will try my best to help you complete them, as long as you can return Miss Wen to me." Zhao Zemo
didn't want to mention this matter again, but Qin Qixuan was still pestering him, which made him a little annoyed.
"I, the prince of Jinan Palace, have been pampered since childhood. I have everything I want and lack nothing. What do you think you can give me to change my mind and give you what I like?"
Zhao Zemo sneered, as if he was mocking Qin Qixuan's incompetence.
"I've already said it, if you can quietly accept my sister's proposal, become the son-in-law of my Jinan Palace, and be my brother-in-law, then I will pretend that nothing happened today. If you don't want to go so peacefully, then come ahead. Not only will you lose Wen Yanya, but you won't be able to possess all this tremendous wealth and glory either."
"Someone, throw these two people out for me."
Qin Qixuan never wanted to gain wealth and glory through this means. He only knew that he had made a marriage contract with Wen Yanya from the beginning. Now that Wen Yanya is in trouble, he must do his best to rescue Wen Yanya.
"I heard that Zhao Zemo captured a woman from the people and tortured her to death. A few days later, a disfigured female corpse was carried out of the Jinnan Palace. I wonder if Your Majesty knows about this."
Qin Qixuan's threat was obvious. He was telling Zhao Zemo that if Zhao Zemo insisted on not releasing her, he would use this as a handle to tell the emperor. He wanted to see how the emperor should punish Zhao Zemo, and whether the Jinnan Palace could protect him in the face of huge public anger.
However, Qin Qixuan obviously underestimated Zhao Zemo's ability.
When Zhao Zemo heard him mention this, he looked at Qin Qixuan straight in the eye, then turned his head away with little interest and continued to watch the beautiful woman dance.
"I thought you were smart, but you're actually a fool, so naive... guess why so many people know about my torture of women, but no one dares to tell His Majesty about it?"
Maybe there are some, but the emperor doesn't care. Or maybe the emperor doesn't think it's necessary to offend the entire Jinnan Palace because of a woman.
Although it sounds bad, it's true. The death of a nameless and unranked woman would not cause any disturbance in front of such a huge force as the Jinnan Palace.
At this time, the guards listened to Zhao Zemo's words and wanted to throw Qin Qixuan and the second brother out. Fortunately, the second brother came with Qin Qixuan, which avoided an armed conflict.
The second brother led Qin Qixuan out of the room safely, and both of them looked a little solemn.
Qin Qixuan had long guessed that this negotiation would not be easy, but he did not expect Zhao Zemo to not even give Qin Qixuan a chance to negotiate.
Is it just for Wen Yanya? Zhao Zemo's interest in Wen Yanya was so strong that no matter what conditions Pei Xuanyi offered, Zhao Zemo was disdainful. Qin
Qixuan understood that he needed to find another way to solve this matter, but the second brother glanced at Qin Qixuan's face and said tentatively.
"Zhao Zemo obviously doesn't want to let her go. I think Miss Wen must be because of Zhao Zemo's preference. Since he said that nothing can take Miss Wen away, why don't we ask the Princess and General Fu for help and use our power to pressure them."
Qin Qixuan was still thinking about what the second brother said, but Zhao Zemo, who had just driven them away, seemed to have forgotten what had just happened and started to have fun again.
The dancers in Qingfeng Tower were all powerful characters. They pretended not to see such a dispute between big men, and sang and danced without any hesitation.
Seeing Zhao Zemo starting to crack melon seeds again and accepting the service of the beautiful woman, Xiao Xixi, who was watching from the side, was immediately furious and felt that Zhao Zemo was so hateful.
[Too hateful, it was obviously Zhao Zemo, he raped the woman and refused to hand over Sister Wen.]
Zhao Zemo regarded Sister Wen as his property, but Sister Wen was also a person and she had her own ideas. It was obvious that Sister Wen did not want to stay in the Jinnan Palace, but Zhao Zemo was so hateful that he did not hand Sister Wen over to his eldest brother. Xiao Xixi was
very angry, and countless ideas flashed through her mind. She wanted to punish this arrogant Zhao Zemo.
