Chapter 240 Support
Feng Qingsui thought it was outrageous enough that he went to someone's house and pretended to be a widowed sister-in-law, but he didn't expect that there would always be someone better.
There was actually someone who had played two roles since childhood. Not only did he deceive his own mother, but he also took the imperial examination and deceived the emperor.
It was really beyond her reach.
"How did you manage to be both a civil official and a military commander at the same time?"
She asked curiously.
"I am usually in the Beijing camp, and occasionally I will show up at the government office. The Sanhuang will send the government affairs to the military camp for me to handle."
Ji Changqing replied.
"In an emergency, a stand-in will be arranged, and the officials below won't take a closer look anyway."
Feng Qingsui: “…”
The Zhao Dynasty was corrupt to a certain extent, so it allowed him to fool people.
Seeing that the man's lips were so dry that they were almost peeling, she walked to the table and poured him a cup of chicken bone grass tea that she had just brewed.
Ji Changqing hadn't drunk any water all night. As soon as he drank the cup of tea with the refreshing scent of grass and trees and a subtle aftertaste of sweetness, his brows relaxed.
The tea poured every year is delicious.
"What are you going to do about Mom?"
Feng Qingsui asked.
He turned back into "Ji Changfeng" and was legitimate with her, but for Qi, how could it be justified for her youngest son to abandon his own identity, pretend to be his deceased brother, and occupy his widowed sister-in-law?
Ji Changqing said calmly: "Mother will understand."
Feng Qingsui: “…”
Qi was afraid that he would break his legs.
Forget it, I don’t care. It’s not her who is going to be beaten anyway.
"How is my master?" she asked with concern, "Why didn't you bring her back home?"
Ji Changqing told her what happened in the palace, and then said: "His Majesty has passed away. Your master has to stay in the palace to observe mourning and cannot leave for the time being. After the funeral, you can come to the palace to see her at any time."
Feng Qingsui's heart sank back to its original place. He continued to ask, "Is Zhao Bixiang dead? Are you sure it's him?"
"Not dead yet, I brought it back to you."
As Ji Changqing said this, he was going to take her to the outer courtyard to see Zhao Bixiang.
"Sui Sui, where are Mo Bao and Juan Mao?" Qi's voice suddenly rang out from the courtyard. "I've made two new clothes. Let them come over and try them on."
Feng Qingsui went out to greet her with a smile: "Mom, Mobao and the others are in the next yard. I will call them back right away."
After that, he shouted to the neighboring courtyard: "Mobao, Curly Hair!"
Two figures, one black and one yellow, rushed in from the gate of the courtyard and stopped in front of Feng Qingsui.
Qi half-knelt down and put a set of clothes on Mobao first, and then on Juanmao.
“It’s really beautiful.”
Feng Qingsui praised.
"The clothes Mom makes for them fit them better and better."
Qi smiled and said, "Practice makes perfect."
After she stood up, she found that there was an extra person beside Feng Qingsui, looking at the clothes on Mo Bao and Juanmao with a resentful look on his face.
She was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened: "What are you looking at? It's not your place."
Ji Changqing: “…”
Is his status in his mother's heart now even lower than that of a dog?
The next moment, he heard his mother ordering the maid following behind him: "Chunyun, bring all the brooms I have prepared these days."
Ji Changqing: ()
all?
Are we going to do a house cleaning?
Or to get rid of bad luck?
Speaking of which, to get rid of bad luck, one usually jumps over the fire basin instead of sweeping with a broom, right?
Chunyun was a nimble girl. After receiving the order, she ran back to Ci'an Hall and brought back a pile of brooms.
Qi pulled out a sword and hit Ji Changqing on the head.
Ji Changqing: (°ロ°) !
Are they all prepared for him?
"Mom!" he asked while dodging, "What did I do wrong? Why do you want to beat me?"
"You still dare to ask?!"
Qi swung the broom harder and harder.
"Do you think you can enter Polangxuan? And you're wearing your brother's clothes! What do you want to do? Pretend to be your brother and deceive your sister-in-law?"
Ji Changqing: “…”
"Mom, you're confused. I'm Changfeng, not Changqing."
Qi sneered, "When has your brother ever dodged a beating? Every time you get beaten, you jump up and down like a monkey."
Ji Changqing: “…”
You're hitting me, okay?
He jumped onto the top of the wall, bent his legs and squatted, sighing, "Mother, I am truly Changfeng. I previously obeyed the emperor's order and fled to Lega to rescue the people. I just rushed back to the capital to rescue the emperor. Before his majesty passed away, he appointed me as regent."
He said this not only to Qi, but also to the people in the mansion.
After Qi understood what he meant, her expression became even angrier.
"Get down here!"
She slammed the broom handle to the ground.
Ji Changqing: "Mom, if you don't beat me, I'll go down."
Qi threw away the broom in her hand.
"I won't hit you."
Ji Changqing hesitated for a moment, jumped down from the wall, and stepped on the broom.
Qi reached out and twisted his right ear, dragging him into the house.
Ji Changqing: “…”
Feng Qingsui couldn't help laughing.
When they got inside, Qi released her hand and demanded in a stern voice, "Have you asked your sister-in-law? Did she agree? You're just acting on your own initiative. Are you bullying your sister-in-law because she has no one in her family? How could I have given birth to such an unethical beast like you? You actually covet your own sister-in-law."
Ji Changqing: “…”
"Mom, I..."
"Mother, please don't be angry." Feng Qingsui stepped over the threshold and entered the house. "Changqing didn't mean it."
Qi looked at her and said slowly, "Don't be afraid. Mother has your back. If this evil creature dares to pretend to be his brother and bully you, I will kick him out of the house right now."
Ji Changqing: “…”
Feng Qingsui feigned embarrassment: "Mother, I actually recognized the wrong person earlier. The person I saved in Wucheng was Changqing, not Changfeng."
Qi: “???”
"You saved Changqing?"
Feng Qingsui nodded.
"The one you are in love with is also... Changqing?"
Feng Qingsui nodded again.
Qi was stunned: "Then why didn't Changqing acknowledge you when you came to his house and let you get married with a plaque?"
She turned to look at Ji Changqing, her eyes suddenly sharp.
"You want to abandon me?"
Ji Changqing: “…”
He wanted to tell the truth, but he was afraid that his mother could not bear it and would go crazy like before.
I had no choice but to continue lying.
"My eldest brother was injured and couldn't go to the battlefield. I happened to be visiting him, so I went to fight in his place. I ended up getting seriously injured as well, but luckily I was saved by Qingsui."
"I had planned to tell Qing Sui my true identity when I brought her to Beijing. However, after we separated, I was attacked and injured in the head. I have lost all memory of the injury."
"So when Qingsui came to my house, I didn't recognize her."
"It wasn't until this trip to Lega that I got caught on the horse's leg by the trip rope and fell off, hitting my head. I think the blockage cleared up, and that's when I finally remembered that memory."
"That's why I decided to revive as the eldest brother."
"Before you came to Polangxuan, I was explaining the amnesia to Qingsui."
Feng Qingsui: (=｀ω′=)
He is indeed a master of deception, telling lies without hesitation.
Qi was silent for a moment, then looked at Feng Qingsui: "Do you believe what he said? If not, I will let him go back to death."
Ji Changqing: “…”
Feng Qingsui: “…”
