"I know, I know you are a good child, Awu, and we are the ones who let you down..."
Old Mrs. Qi no longer had the dignified demeanor she once had. She looked disheveled and lifeless, with a cloudy face and bloodshot eyes.
If Wang hadn't been so short-sighted and had made her relationship with Qin Wu so bad that she insisted on asking Qi Xiuzhe to divorce Qin Wu, the Qin family wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
There is no medicine for regret in the world. She regrets so much that her intestines turn green. What can she do?
Qi Xiuzhe is now no match for the Imperial Master.
Even the dumbest women know that choosing a man like that is good to them.
Tomorrow, the Qi family will be exiled.
Today, Old Lady Qi pawned all the valuables on her body to ask for the jailer's favor so that she could see Qi Xiuzhe and his family.
The last time Qi Xiuzhe saw Qin Wu, he seemed to have lost his soul after being beaten by the national teacher, and he drank all day long.
It was not until the Qi family was ransacked that he came to his senses.
...
...
He clamored to see Qin Wu, but Qin Wu had already been locked up in the prison and he couldn't get out of the prison to see her.
He has been ill ever since, and now those with high fever seem to be dying.
After all, Qi Xiuzhe was the eldest legitimate son of the Qi family. How could she bear to watch the only bloodline of the Qi family be completely cut off?
Exile is hard, but at least it provides a way to survive and continue the Qi family's descendants.
"Awu, I was the one who schemed against you. I just wanted you to get back together with Xiuzhe. I never thought of killing you..."
"I'm willing to sacrifice my reputation for you if you can save Xiuzhe's life, even if it's just to go and see him. I'll give you my life to vent your anger."
She won't live long. Old Mrs. Qi wants to die herself. If she can save Qi Xiuzhe's life, it would be a win.
As she said this, Old Lady Qi staggered to her feet and was about to bang her head against the wall.
A lot of people had gathered at the gate of Qin Wu's mansion, pointing and talking.
It would be too easy for the Qi family to die.
Exile would make their life worse than death.
Especially a snob like Wang.
As for not exiling Old Lady Qi, Qin Wu simply let her watch the Qi family fall to pieces, and she would die alone.
He was at an age where he could enjoy his retirement, but now he has fallen to this state. It is more painful than death.
Before Old Lady Qi could even run to the wall, Qin Wu pulled her back and said, "Okay, I'll go see Qi Xiuzhe."
She didn't want anyone to die in her mansion.
"Good boy, good boy, it is my Qi family that has let you down. In my next life, I will work like a cow or a horse to repay you..."
"Who can't say nice things? You Qi family are all bad people!" Yang Zhanying got off the horse and walked towards Qin Wu. "You rely on your age to threaten Qin Wu with crying, making a scene and threatening to hang yourself. You are really shameless."
"Sister Qin Wu, they said you were jealous and vicious. If that's the case, why did you help her save Qi Xiuzhe?"
"He is not your husband now, why do you care about his life or death? He has brought this upon himself."
Yang Zhanying stretched out his hand and held her arm. "Let's go back. I want to see who dares to be so shameless as to call you heartless and ungrateful..."
Yang Zhanying said this loudly, and all the people watching heard it.
Those who had been whispering about Qin Wu before suddenly fell silent.
What Yang Zhanying said made a lot of sense. They really didn't have the face to accuse Qin Wu of being vicious. So what if she went to save Qi Xiuzhe?
"You're back!" Qin Wu saw Yang Zhanying, and a smile appeared on her cold face. "How is it, has Chu He's problem been resolved?"
"Almost." Yang Zhanying curled her lips, her tanned face bright and radiant, "The new emperor promoted Lao Zhang and Xiao Li to be Sikong and Governor of Waterways. I was originally relying on them to solve the problem of the Chu River embankment."
"The emperor ordered me to come back, saying that he would reward me with the rank of female general. I rushed back several days in a row."
Qin Wu understood Zhou Canglan's intention.
As the two were talking, Old Lady Qi pinched her fingers and knelt down again, not caring about her dignity. "Ms. Yang, Ah Wu, I am not threatening you. My old face is really useless. As long as I can save Xiuzhe's life and leave a successor for the Qi family, my death will not be a pity."
"Awu, you promised to save Xiuzhe, you can't go back on your word." Old Mrs. Qi tugged at the corner of Qin Wu's clothes, looking very pitiful.
"I have nothing now, only this life. I, I can still do some work. You can ask me to work like a cow or a horse for you..."
"I don't need you to work like a slave for me. Old Madam, you should get up. I promised to go see Qi Xiuzhe and I won't go back on my word."
"You are too kind. Don't go. Don't care whether he lives or dies!" Yang Zhanying pulled Qin Wu unhappily, "Have you forgotten how he treated you?"
Yang Zhanying is a straightforward person, and she thinks Qin Wu still can't let him go.
"Besides, you wrote to tell me that Nuonuo was not his daughter, and you divorced him. This has nothing to do with it. There is no need to worry about little Nuonuo being without a father. Let him die."
Qin Wu was amused and whispered in her ear, "Sometimes living is more painful than dying..."
Yang Zhanying finally understood, "You are right. Make him regret letting go of such a good woman like you and being with that vicious woman Qin Yinnuan. Now he has lost everything. Let him suffer for the rest of his life."
After a pause, she looked at Old Lady Qi and added, "I'll go with you to see how miserable he is."
Old Mrs. Qi’s face turned paler and paler.
A dark, damp and cold prison.
Qin Wu appeared in front of Wang, and she wanted to pounce on him and bite his flesh and blood.
It’s because of her that the Qi family has become like this. It’s all her fault, it’s all her fault!
However, no matter how much she hated it, she could only swallow her anger.
"You, what are you doing here? Do you want to laugh at us? Now you have seen that we are completely finished, are you happy..." Wang's tone was sarcastic, and she tried hard to suppress her rage to kill.
"Yes." Qin Wu answered truthfully without even pretending.
She naturally saw Wang's hateful eyes that seemed to want to kill her, but she didn't care.
Not to mention Qi Xiuzhe, she even looked down upon Wang.
Having lost her husband's family, her parents' family had long ago severed ties with her. What kind of trouble could she possibly stir up?
"Heh." Yang Zhanying sneered and looked at Wang with contempt. How did she know that they came to laugh at her? She was really humiliating herself.
Wang was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything.
"Open the prison door." Qin Wu said.
"Yes." The jailer hurriedly opened the cell door.
Qin Wu stepped in.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Qi Xiuzhe heard Qin Wu's voice and coughed violently in pain. He opened his eyes with difficulty.
Qin Wu's figure vaguely appeared in sight.
It’s Qin Wu, it’s really Qin Wu.
"Awu..." Qi Xiuzhe struggled to sit up from the straw bed made of straw stalks, "It's really you..."
"Xiuzhe..." Wang hurriedly helped Qi Xiuzhe to lean against the wall, "Why did you get up..."
"Are you feeling better? Hey, why hasn't the fever gone down yet?"
