Chapter 20 Either a co-wife or a concubine



"Hurry, hurry, let's go home!"

The people present were also surprised to hear the news, and were very curious about who the Xuanying miracle doctor Yang Zhanying mentioned was.

Duke Yang's son, Yang Laowu, was poisoned by the Southern Xinjiang ghost poison, and none of the doctors in the Imperial Hospital could cure it.

Moreover, this poison is extremely cruel. If the poison cannot be cured within seven days, the intestines will be ruptured and the person will die in pain.

I heard it’s already the sixth day. If no antidote is found, Yang Laowu will have to die.

Duke Yang is seeking rewards from famous doctors. Whoever can cure the poison in Yang Laowu will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!

Although there were many doctors who went to see Yang Laowu every day, none of them could detoxify him.

Everyone thought that Yang Jiazi was afraid that he would die for his country again, but there was such a powerful doctor who could cure the ghost poison?

Who is this miraculous doctor Xuanying? Why have I never heard of him?

Qin Honghao's expression did not improve just because Duke Yang left. He got angry at Marquis Qining and demanded that his son Qi Xiuzhe give him an explanation!

...

...

He married his adopted daughter Qin Wu, and he also ruined the reputation of his own daughter. He must find a way to solve the problem.

After all, he wanted Qin Yinnuan to be the second prince's consort. If she didn't find a way to protect her reputation, how could she marry into the royal family and become a princess?

This time, Qin Yinnuan got into trouble and made him be criticized by others. He couldn't save face. Qin Yinnuan disappointed him so much this time.

Qi Ninghou smiled apologetically and said that he would immediately find a way with Qi Xiuzhe to restore Qin Yinnuan's reputation when he returned.

Qin Honghao then gave up and got on the carriage. Suddenly he thought of something and told the servant beside him, "Go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to find out who the Divine Doctor Xuanying is and where he lives. If possible, ask him to come to the mansion to treat the Second Young Master."

"It's the Prime Minister."

Qin Sumu's illness also gave Qin Honghao a headache. His son was an excellent writer. If he hadn't been sickly since birth, he would definitely be his pride in the officialdom now.

Here, because of the matter between Qin Yinnuan and Qi Xiuzhe, Wang went to Old Madam Qi to discuss what to do.

"If she hadn't been adopted by the Qin family, she would not be worthy of our Zhe Ge'er because she is an orphan without a father or a mother."

"Now the Qin family wants our brother Zhe to solve the problem of Qin Yinnuan's reputation. Logically speaking, Yinnuan should be our Qi family's daughter-in-law."

"If we don't let Zhege take him as a concubine into our Qi family, our relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion will be closer."

Before Qin Yinnuan came back, Wang still found Qin Wu pleasing to the eye.

But now Qin Yinnuan is back, and the Qin brothers' attitude towards Qin Wu's sibling relationship is obviously not very good.

Qin Wu does not have the Qin family blood, so she can never compare to Qin Yinnuan.

But if the daughter of the Qin family became her son's concubine, it would further prove her son's excellence and make her proud.

Qi Xiuzhe walked in from outside with a chill on his body. When he heard her mother's words, he objected without thinking, "Mom, I will never let Nuannuan be my concubine!"

Wang Shi heard this and thought about it, then turned to Qi Xiuzhe and said, "Yes, how could Prime Minister Qin allow his own daughter to be a concubine in our Qi family?"

"Then, I will make her my second wife. When the time comes, I will let her take care of the Qi family's household affairs and let her be the mistress of the Qi family."

"I think Qin Wu wouldn't have any objection. After all, it was Yin Nuan who was supposed to marry you. It was because she took over the position that she was able to marry you."

Qi Xiuzhe thought about what Qin Wu said two days ago that she wanted to divorce him, and sarcastically said that he would marry Qin Yinnuan or make Qin Yinnuan a concubine.

These two days he just thought that Qin Wu was forcing him and Qin Yinnuan not to meet again.

I've never really been hit upon by her.

If he really married Qin Yinnuan, wouldn't Qin Wu confirm her words and slap him in the face?

He now suspected that Qin Wu was the one behind these rumors, otherwise how could they cause such a sensation!

Although he did like Qin Yinnuan a little more, he didn't want to divorce Qin Wu or even divorce her.

He just hoped that she would not always stick to him, have nothing to do of her own, always be jealous and quarrel with him, and bully Qin Yinnuan.

When Mrs. Qi saw that Qi Xiuzhe didn't say anything, she asked, "Brother Zhe, what do you think?"

"Qin Wu gave birth to a daughter. If she can't give birth to a son, I will have to ask your mother to choose a few concubines for you. We can't let the Qi family die without a successor."

"If you like Qin Yinnuan and want to marry her as your equal wife, grandma can help you this time."

Old Madam Qi was willing to stand on Qin Wu's side only because she was pregnant with Qi's child and she hoped that she could give birth to a son to carry on the Qi family's bloodline.

But who made her give birth to a daughter?

It's not her fault that she made a new choice.

"My father just told me about the problem of Nuannuan's reputation. Marrying Nuannuan is only a last resort. I think I have thought of a solution to this problem that is the best of both worlds."

"Grandma, mother, please don't get involved in this matter. I'm going to go find Qin Wu first."

Qi Xiuzhe went to Lichunyuan to find Qin Wu but was stopped by Bai Lu.

"The young lady said she needs to stay in confinement and no one is allowed to disturb her. Please go back, my lord."

Qi Xiuzhe almost laughed out of anger when he saw the two maids who blocked his way into the yard.

"Get out of here!" Qi Xiuzhe pulled Bai Lu to the ground with force and strode in.

"Bai Lu" Han Shuang hurriedly pulled Bai Lu up.

Bai Lu looked a little anxious. She wanted to stop him, but Qi Xiuzhe had already pushed the door and entered Qin Wu's room.

It happened that Qin Wu had just come back from outside and saw Qi Xiuzhe breaking in.

"Miss, you're back." Bai Lu whispered to herself, "I didn't stop Prince Qi."

"It's okay." Qin Wu took off the veil and handed it to Bai Lu, "You guys go and do your work," she walked inside.

Qi Xiuzhe didn't see Qin Wu in the room. Just as he was about to question the maid, he saw Qin Wu come into the room.

He frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Where have you been?"

"Go to the toilet, does the prince still care?" Qin Wu said in a cold and distant tone.

She went to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion to detoxify Yang Weiguo, but she would not tell Qi Xiuzhe.

"Are you still angry?" Without waiting for Qin Wu to speak, he softened his voice and said, "I know that I have ignored you during this period of time, which makes you feel very uneasy and sad."

"As your husband, I apologize to you. Can we stop arguing?" He walked forward and wanted to hug Qin Wu.

Qin Wu dodged without leaving a trace, sat down at the table, and looked at him indifferently, "What do you want to talk to me about? If you have nothing to do, go back. I have to feed the baby later."

His hand fell into nothingness, and Qi Xiuzhe was slightly stunned.

"Qin Wu, there are rumors everywhere that Nuan Nuan's innocence was tarnished by me, and that I might have had physical contact with her, but you know, nothing happened between us."

Qi Xiuzhe lowered his pride and said to her in a gentle voice, "Come back with me to the Qin family now and explain things to Prime Minister Qin. Let everyone know the relationship between Nuannuan and me."

"Just tell everyone that it was me who carried you back home, not Nuannuan, the day the bandits hurt you. Then no one will spread the rumors outside."

As the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, he could completely suppress the matter by issuing a notice that rumormongers would be punished.

"Are you asking me to lie?" Qin Wu was shocked by his shameless words.

For Qin Yinnuan's reputation, she has to suffer such humiliation and injustice?

Why could he take it for granted that she would clean up the mess for both of them?
