"You have always been mature and steady, how could you do such a foolish and shameless thing? How did the eldest lady of the Qin family deceive you? Do you want to destroy our Qi family?"
"You disappoint me so much!"
"Pa pa pa." Old Lady Qi said as she continued to hit him with the ruler in her hand.
Qi Xiuzhe bit his lip. His face, which was already bruised and swollen from being beaten by Qin Suhuo, became even paler. "It's my fault. I, I have to give Xiao Nuan an explanation. I must marry her."
"Zhe'er, stop talking about things that make your grandmother angry..."
Wang knelt beside Qi Xiuzhe with tears in her eyes and begged for mercy for Qi Xiuzhe with heartache, "Mother, please don't hit Zhe'er. Someone has framed him and drugged him."
"This has nothing to do with Zhe'er. Please stop hitting him. Please don't hit him."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
"Madam..." Madam hurriedly supported Madam Qi and breathed on her back, "Don't get angry and hurt your body."
"Quick, someone go get medicine for the old lady!"
...
...
"Call the court doctor."
The nanny ordered the maid to go.
Old Madam Qi sat in the upper seat and calmed down for a long time.
The atmosphere in the ancestral hall was tense.
No one dared to speak.
The sharp and shrewd eyes on the weathered face were now filled with fatigue and haggardness. After Mrs. Qi recovered, she threw the ruler in her hand to the ground.
Then he got angry at Wang first, "This is all because of your pampering! He was such a good boy, but now he has become so rebellious that he doesn't even care about the Qi family's career!"
"The one who deserves to be beaten the most is you..."
"Grandma, I am your grandson and I have disappointed you." Qi Xiuzhe said without complaint, "It's not my mother's fault. Grandma, you can just deal with me."
Wang was in awe of Madam Qi, but for the sake of her son, she was not afraid of being beaten. "Mother, you also know that Qin Wu wants to break off the relationship with the Qin family. The relationship has become so strained that Prime Minister Qin can't tolerate her anymore."
"She is an orphan with a bad reputation. She can't help Zhe'er in his career at all!"
"Qin Yinnuan is not only Prime Minister Qin's real daughter, she is also a princess personally appointed by the emperor. Qin Wu is totally incomparable to her. In the future, only Qin Yinnuan can help Zhe'er."
"What's more, Zhe'er was drugged and framed. As long as the Queen finds the murderer who drugged Zhe'er, it won't be Zhe'er's fault."
"Marrying Qin Yinnuan will also be good for our Zhe'er."
"Then Miss Qin can only be a concubine." Old Madam Qi said coldly, "I don't agree to let her come in as the main wife!"
"Grandma, I can't let Xiao Nuan down..."
"Shut up!" Old Madam Qi interrupted him with a sharp scolding, "You can't let Xiao Nuan down. Are you going to ruin the reputation of the entire Qi family?"
"She has already given her body to you. You, you have both been caught. No matter if she was drugged or not, the rumors can't be stopped. No one will want her. She can only follow you!"
"Whether she's a concubine or not, she has to accept it!"
"If this had not happened, even if you divorced Qin Wu and married Qin Yinnuan, you would have other reasons to cover it up."
"But after what happened, even if Qin Wu asked you to divorce her in person, you couldn't agree! It's all your fault, don't you know that?"
After all, Madam Qi has experienced many ups and downs, and she is thoughtful in looking at things and doing things. How could she not know who to choose between Qin Yinnuan and Qin Wu?
"You are now serving as the Minister of the Dali Temple, and you are an honest official who represents the people. If you want to divorce Qin Wu and marry Qin Yinnuan, your career will be over!"
"Now that things have come to this, you can only let Qin Yinnuan be your concubine!"
"If you insist on marrying Qin Yinnuan, then don't call me grandma!"
Qi Xiuzhe lowered his head, speechless for a moment.
Wang Shi didn't dare to be careless about her career, and she quickly persuaded Qi Xiuzhe, "Zhe'er, don't be impulsive. Let's talk to Yin Nuan first. Even if she is a concubine, our Qi family will not let her down."
Qi Xiuzhe clenched his fists. He felt very complicated at the moment, especially when he thought of the prophecy Qin Wu had said long ago. After a long while, he said, "I won't divorce her, but I still can't let Xiao Nuan be my concubine."
"I'm marrying Xiao Nuan as my second wife, I can't give in anymore..."
"I hope my grandmother will help me."
The atmosphere was extremely quiet. After a long while, Old Madam Qi asked, "What's the situation with Qin Wu? Did she say anything?"
"Madam, the Crown Prince's Consort returned to her own courtyard after returning from the palace. She didn't cause any trouble or make any fuss." The nanny continued in a low voice, "Early this morning, the Crown Prince's Consort went back to the palace."
If Madam Qi hadn't asked, Wang really wouldn't have reacted. Qin Wu was so quiet and didn't come to her to complain or tell her about it. Why was it so abnormal?
If it were any other day, she should have come to her to make the decision and said something bad about Qin Yinnuan, right?
Could it be that he was plotting something sinister to embarrass her son?
Qi Xiuzhe's mind was full of Qin Yinnuan last night. He was thinking about how to deal with this matter properly. He didn't go to find Qin Wu, and Qin Wu didn't come to find him either.
He didn't feel happy about it, instead he felt a little empty, and every cell in his body was clamoring with irritation.
A sharp light flashed across Old Madam Qi's cloudy eyes, and she said, "I'm afraid she is heartbroken."
"Brother Zhe, those who want to accomplish great things cannot be too sentimental. You must be ruthless when necessary! The Qi family is relying on you now! Qin Wu, go and stabilize her first. Don't let her do anything extreme and unfavorable."
"Wait until Qin Yinnuan comes in and this matter calms down. Isn't it okay for Qin Wu to do whatever you want?"
Looking at the nanny beside her, Madam Qi said, "When she comes back, go to my private storehouse and pick out some jewelry to give to Qin Wu to comfort her."
"It's the old lady."
His eyes fell on Wang again, "Qin Wu is now in the palace to serve the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother's illness gets better, maybe she will have another chance."
"Go and ask around to see how the Queen Mother is doing now."
Wang immediately realized that this was the main reason why Old Madam Qi didn't want Qi Xiuzhe to divorce his wife and have a falling out with Qin Wu.
"I understand, mother."
"When the Marquis leaves the court, you and the Marquis will take Xiuzhe to the Qin family to apologize. Prepare generous gifts so that Prime Minister Qin will not feel looked down upon."
Madam Qi raised her hand and waved, "I'm tired. If you have nothing to do, don't bother me. Go back."
At this time, the maid brought the medicine.
Now as the mistress of Marquis Qi's Mansion, how could Wang not be aware of these things? She pulled Qi Xiuzhe away.
After leaving the ancestral hall, Wang took Qi Xiuzhe back to his room to apply medicine and advised him, "Your grandmother is right. Keep Qin Wu. When the storm is over, divorce her and you can make Yin Nuan your principal wife."
"This situation is not good for us now. Let's go to the Qin family and have a good talk. Don't worry, mother will definitely stand on your side."
She suddenly remembered that Qin Wu had beaten the tonic soup she had given her. Could it be that Qin Wu knew about it? So she drugged Qi Xiuzhe and Qin Yinnuan in order to get revenge?
After all, she also went to the plum blossom viewing party.
If it was her, this bitch was too scheming. She harmed her son, so she couldn't be allowed to stay!
There is no need for divorce. She can stay in the Qi family. She has thousands of ways to prevent her from seeing the sun tomorrow.
