Chapter 55 "The Marquis has no son, and the clan members are all eyeing the position of the Crown Prince" 14



"Your father's birthday party almost turned into a funeral banquet. You rebellious son, why would you do such a thing with so many distinguished guests in the mansion today? You've brought shame to the Qi family, and to your father. I'm afraid your own future will be ruined as well."

Qi Youxuan's mother, Mrs. Wu, scolded Qi Youxuan.

Qi Fuxing was so angry that he lay in bed and couldn't get up. He was sent to the main hospital and a doctor was asked to see him.

Zhou Junzhi was still wrapped in a quilt on the couch in her bedroom. She was stabbed on the shoulder by a sword. After all, she was from the Marquis' Mansion. Although Wu wanted her to die, she was also worried that it would be difficult to explain to the Marquis' Mansion if she died at home, so she asked Yang Yue'e to bring a maid in to give her shoulder wound a simple treatment.

Yang Yue'e looked at the bloody hole on Zhou Junzhi's shoulder and felt her scalp tingling. After the maids bandaged Zhou Junzhi's wound, she told them, "You go out first. I have something to say to her."

The maids left, and only Yang Yue'e and Zhou Junzhi stayed in the bedroom.

Yang Yue'e looked around the mess in the room and looked at Zhou Junzhi: "What on earth is going on?"

Zhou Junzhi was shaking with pain. "I feel like I was drugged to make me feel aphrodisiac, but I don't know if it was Qi Youxuan or Yu Jinshu who did it."

Yang Yue'e asked, "Why was this medicine applied to you and not Yu Jinshu?"

Zhou Junzhi shook his head painfully: "I don't know."

Yang Yue'e's eyes darkened. "I saw Yu Jinshu drink that bowl of tea with my own eyes. She said she felt dizzy at the time, but later she returned to the flower hall in high spirits, leaving you here instead."

Zhou Junzhi figured it out. She gritted her teeth and said, "Yu Jinshu is too powerful. We plotted against her, but she plotted against us instead."

Yang Yue'e looked at Zhou Junzhi's pale face and whispered, "Sister Junzhi, I know you and Guard He are good friends. If you don't betray me today, I promise to let Guard He stay safely in the Marquis' Mansion. If you dare to betray me, Guard He will die."

After Zhou Junzhi married Qi Luoting as a concubine, she was never favored by Qi Luoting, so she had an affair with He, a guard in the Marquis' Mansion.

Yang Yue'e knew about this. She was very smart. She usually didn't talk about the private matters of the Marquis' Mansion. She would wait until it was necessary to tell them and control the other party.

Zhou Junzhi's parents are both dead, and she is an orphan. The person she cares about most should be Guard He.

Sure enough, Zhou Junzhi stared at Yang Yue'e with a pair of scarlet eyes, with panic in his eyes: "Do you know me and Guard He?"

Yang Yue'e said seriously, "I know."

Zhou Junzhi closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, he said to Yang Yue'e, "I won't betray you. You must not harm Guard He."

Yang Yue'e finally felt relieved.

Outside, the questioning of Qi Youxuan by Qi family mistress Wu and Taining Marquis Qi Luoting has ended.

Qi Luoting's follower A Zuo found a packet of powder from Qi Youxuan's robe and asked the doctor to confirm that the powder was aphrodisiac.

Qi Youxuan originally intended to use this charmer on Yu Jinshu.

Qi Youxuan still hasn't figured out why he and Zhou Junzhi were bewitched before the aphrodisiac was used?

Look at Yu Jinshu, she is standing there, holding a white cat in her arms, as beautiful as a jade statue of a goddess.

Qi Youxuan naturally didn't dare to say that his original target was Yu Jinshu, the second wife of Marquis Taining, so he didn't dare to give out Nangong Yueqin and Zhou Junzhi. Since the matter had become like this, he could only say that he had used an aphrodisiac on Zhou Junzhi.

In this way, Zhou Junzhi became the victim, and she was also stabbed by Qi Youxuan's eldest brother.

Qi Luoting said coldly, "Now that the matter has been investigated, it is natural that Qi Youxuan should be sent to the government office for trial. Otherwise, what will happen to Sister Junzhi's reputation?"

When Wu heard that Qi Luoting was going to send her third son to the government office for trial, she immediately became anxious and knelt before Qi Luoting. "My Lord, Youxuan is still your cousin no matter how bad he is. He committed such a heinous act today. He has not only ruined Zhou Junzhi's reputation, but also our family and himself. This is retribution. Since Zhou Junzhi and Youxuan are already husband and wife, let Youxuan marry Zhou Junzhi and this matter will be over."

Liu also said, "We are all relatives, so let's not take it too seriously. Today's scandal not only damages Uncle Qi's family, but also the reputation of our Taining Marquisate. If it is brought to the government office, the matter will only get bigger and bigger."

Qi Luoting actually didn't want to bring the matter to the government office. He just wanted to force Wu to let Qi Youxuan marry Zhou Junzhi.

"Since Second Aunt and Mother both say so, then let Sister Junzhi marry Qi Youxuan. Also, Sister Junzhi should stay at Second Uncle's house!"

After Qi Luoting finished speaking, he took Yu Jinshu in his arms, walked out of the yard, and left the Qi Mansion first.

He didn't even want to look at the rest of the things, and he didn't want Qi Youxuan and Zhou Junzhi to pollute Yu Jinshu's eyes.

Yang Yue'e saw that Qi Luoting didn't give her any face outside. She was the eldest lady, but Qi Luoting only took Yu Jinshu, the second wife, away. She was so angry that she was shaking. She stood in the yard, not knowing whether to leave or not.

Less than an hour after Yu Jinshu followed Qi Luoting back to the Marquis' Mansion, Liu came back with Yang Yue'e. Not long after they returned, people came to Uncle Qi's house.

Zhou Junzhi hanged himself.

Yang Yue'e felt relieved when she heard the news.

Zhou Junzhi didn't give her up, so she could sleep well tonight.

Yu Jinshu just felt sad.

If she didn't have the system and Xiaobai, what would she be doing at Uncle Qi's house today?

Zhou Junzhi knew that if he had not gone along with Nangong Yueqin and Yang Yue'e, his death would not have been in vain.

In Yang Yue'e's yard, Nangong Yueqin was frightened by what happened between Qi Youxuan and Zhou Junzhi.

Nangong Yueqin said: "Fortunately, Zhou Junzhi is dead, otherwise we would all be in trouble."
