Chapter 133: Get out of the way, or I'll beat you too
Qi's eyes were bloodshot.
He shouted at Li Ma Ma.
"How dare you, a mere servant! How dare you curse your master like that? Do you want to die?"
The old lady of the Qi Mansion was her grandmother. She was of noble status and was deeply loved by the eldest princess. How could she insult her like this? Even if she was the personal nanny of the old lady of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, it would not be allowed.
When Lin Qingjun arrived, what he saw was the ugly appearance of Qi with a distorted face, defending Old Madam Qi.
Something happened in Xueyuan, how could she not come and take a look and watch the fun?
It's so interesting to see all this excitement going on right now.
The Qi family actually defended that old woman? If she knew that Madam Qi was the enemy who killed her grandmother, every time she approached Madam Qi over the years, every time she acted in her filial piety and flattery in front of her, it would be a blasphemy and harm to the real Madam Qi who had long since passed away.
I wonder if she'll regret her actions after learning the truth? Especially now, she's actually going against the Wu'an Marquisate for that old man?
The Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion is wealthy and powerful, and Madam Ji has military merits. To put it bluntly, people can easily crush her to death with just one finger, but she can still be so arrogant?
What an idiot.
However, Lin Qingjun found Li Ma's expression very interesting. She looked at Qi with unceremonious sarcasm, ridicule and contempt in her eyes, as if... she knew something.
Nanny Li burst into laughter.
"Madam Lin, Madam Lin, if you knew the true identity of Madam Qi, whom you were willing to protect today even at the risk of offending the Marquis of Wu'an, I wonder if you would regret it."
Nanny Li didn’t know the origins of this old lady Qi before. Oh no, even the old lady didn’t know. It was the prince who told them about it that day.
It turned out that this old lady Qi was just an adopted daughter of the Qi family, more than ten years younger than the fourth young master Qi. However, she climbed into her stepbrother's bed without regard for etiquette and shame. When Lady Qi learned about this, she fell ill. But what was even more shocking was that the fourth young master Qi actually kept her.
Mr. Qi Si also said that it was not her fault, and if anyone was to be blamed, it was him who failed to control himself.
What is even more infuriating is that after Lady Qi died, the Fourth Young Master Qi ignored his mother's dying wishes and promoted her from a minor concubine to a concubine, making her equal to his legally married wife. He even neglected his legal wife in the end, causing her to die with hatred.
When she and the old lady heard this, they were shocked and horrified. Where in the world could there be such an unfilial son? Where in the world could there be such a vicious and calculating woman? The Fourth Young Master Qi was confused, but if they said that this old lady Qi had no hand in this, they would never believe it.
Therefore, the prince said that there was no need to be polite to the Qi family, and as for the birthday gift sent that day, it should be fed to the dog.
Thinking of this, Nanny Li looked at Qi again.
She is the only granddaughter left by Madam Qi Si who died with hatred in her heart. If she were still alive and saw her descendants acting like this, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood.
Qi felt a little uneasy when she looked at her.
"You, why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?"
"Also, what's your true identity? And what do you mean by no regrets?"
"Mr. Li, I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense here. It's not your turn to interfere in the affairs of my Qi Mansion."
"As for you, you have slandered my Qi Mansion. I will also ask your Wu'an Marquis Mansion for an explanation."
Nanny Li chuckled and said generously.
"Okay, Madam Lin wants to ask for an explanation. We'll go together later. But before we go, let's talk about what this jade pendant is all about."
Which man had sent it? Why did Lin Yingxue humiliate the Wu'an Marquis Mansion in this way?
Nanny Li looked at Lin Zhi, whose face was ashen, and said again.
"Master Lin, please don't blame me for forcing you. I'm doing this for your own good. If you can't explain yourself, you can forget about your position as Minister of Rites."
The eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites actually did such a heinous thing that ruined the reputation of the girl. Shouldn't the Censor report her?
When Lin Qingjun heard this, his eyes lit up.
It really is the old lady, her style is different.
If we only focus on the Qi family and the Qi Mansion, how can things progress?
Moreover, Qi was obviously protecting Lin Yingxue, so she would make all kinds of excuses. Lin Yingxue would naturally not admit that the jade pendant was hers, so she could only attack Lin Zhi.
She accurately grasped Lin Zhi's weakness and used her official connections to persuade Lin Zhi to intervene even if he didn't want to.
Pop.
Lin Zhimeng slapped Lin Yingxue hard.
Everyone gasped when they saw this.
They all knew how much the master loved the eldest daughter. Whenever the eldest daughter asked for the stars in the sky, the master would find a way to pick them for her. But now he could have the heart to hit her?
The blow was quite severe; the pearl veil on the young lady's face was knocked off, and her face became swollen.
Qi hugged Lin Yingxue and said, "Lin Zhi, are you crazy? For an outsider, for a broken jade pendant that came from who knows where, you actually attacked Xue'er? She is our flesh and blood, our first child. How dare you?"
Qi loved Lin Yingxue as much as anyone else, in fact, more so, because Lin Yingxue's birth not only broke the rumor that she was a hen that didn't lay eggs, but also made Old Madam Lin willingly give up the power to manage the Lin Mansion.
"you?"
Lin Zhi was so angry that he felt dizzy. At this time, he was still protecting this rebellious girl. Was this rebellious girl more important, or was his official career more important?
"Qi, get out of my way, or I'll beat you up too."
"Come here, quickly pull the lady away."
Several maids immediately rushed over and pulled Qi away.
Qi wanted to struggle, but was stopped by Madam Qi. "Madam, now is not the time to confront the master. We must find a way to exonerate the eldest lady."
Qi was anxious. "Exculpate? That's easy to say. The jade pendant fell out of her box. There were so many eyes watching. How can I exculpate her? Yingxue is really something. Even if she hid it privately, she couldn't hide it properly. How could she be discovered?"
Qi didn't say that Lin Yingxue had bad behavior and was secretly meeting a man outside her, but instead said that she didn't hide her things well and was discovered?
Madam Qi's eyes rolled around, then lit up. "Madam, who said we can't get away?" She pointed in the direction of Qijun Courtyard. "Isn't there someone over there? We just need to say that it was that bitch Lin Qingjun who framed our young lady out of jealousy. Isn't that enough? By the way, bribe two servants to be witnesses."
In this way, this matter has nothing to do with their eldest daughter, right? Moreover, they can also use this opportunity to get rid of those two annoying people in Qijun Courtyard. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?
Lin Qingjun was stunned. "Can you pass on the blame like this?"
