After Duke Qi received the letter from Qi Yunqing, he wrote a letter of apology to the emperor while riding back at full speed.
As a father, he had to come back to clean up the mess caused by Qi Yunfeng.
What he cared about most was the prosperity of Duke Qi's Mansion, and he would never let the reputation of Duke Qi's Mansion be ruined by his unfortunate son.
So as soon as he came back, he quietly went to Qi Yunfeng's yard.
Seeing that the servants were all guarding the gate of the courtyard, he guessed that something might have happened inside that was inconvenient for his master, so he winked at the servants and then quietly approached the gate alone.
Qi Yunfeng was alone in the room, cursing and scratching the headboard with a knife to vent his anger.
First, he called Qi Yunqing the emperor's dog. In order to please the emperor, he even beat his elder brother. Unfortunately, his mother only killed the dog's biological mother, but not the dog itself.
Duke Qi's veins popped up when he heard this, and he resisted the urge to push the door open. He had to hear what this evil son would say in private.
The servants who were keeping watch on Qi Yunfeng saw that the Duke was emitting a murderous aura and knew that Qi Yunfeng might be courting death, but they were afraid and did not dare to warn Qi Yunfeng.
Qi Yunfeng lay on the bed and continued to scold the county lady for being intolerant. He hoped that the county lady would send him a few maids as concubines sooner.
The maids in the yard would not take the risk of giving her the drug that would make her infertile if they saw the chance to become his concubine. All this was caused by her own jealousy.
Now she puts all the blame on herself and asks the emperor to cancel their marriage.
Even if she is a county lady, what good family will she have after the divorce? She will still live a life of seclusion and meditation.
The eldest princess herself is unlucky in marriage, but she still wants to take her daughter back to live with her as a widow. How vicious!
What’s even more abominable is that he abolished his own position as crown prince.
The Emperor is really...
Seeing that Qi Yunfeng was so rebellious that even the emperor dared to fabricate a plan to scold him, Duke Qi could no longer control his anger.
He immediately pushed the door open, picked up a stool and went to greet Qi Yunfeng.
The servants heard Qi Yunfeng's screams but did not dare to stop him. The brave ones secretly went to call Madam Qi over.
Madam Qi came over upon hearing the news. Duke Qi was tired from fighting and was sitting in the room with a cold face.
After this incident, he realized that his only legitimate son had such a crooked character and would bring him into greater trouble in the future.
He decided to kick Qi Yunfeng out of the house.
Madam Qi knelt on the ground, hugged Duke Qi's calf, and pleaded with Qi Yunfeng.
"Master, Yunfeng just made a small mistake that every man would make. Every man has three wives and four concubines. He has already lost his position as the crown prince because of this. Why should he be expelled from the family?"
Duke Qi forcefully pushed Madam Qi away, his face full of sarcasm: "A man can have three wives and four concubines, but who made you and Qi Yunfeng swear in front of the Princess that you would only have one wife, the County Princess? Breaking that oath and blaming others for it is truly irresponsible."
"When I went to the border, Fangfei had just given birth to Tiger Brother. I told her to give Tiger Brother to the county lady and send Fangfei to live in the manor. But you refused to listen and insisted on staying."
Qi Yunfeng lay on the bed. The eldest princess had wanted Fang Fei to die in childbirth. He wondered if a grown man like him couldn't protect the mother of his child, especially someone as weak as Fang Fei who had to rely on herself.
Unexpectedly, Fangfei is not a weak vine, but a poisonous snake that is good at hiding.
He is blind.
Madam Qi has already put all the blame on Fangfei, blaming Fangfei for seducing Qi Yunfeng.
Duke Qi waved his hand and said, "Qi Yunfeng has been corrupted by your mother. Whenever something goes wrong, it's always someone else's fault, not his own. Even if Fangfei is guilty, she has already received the punishment she deserves, and your mistakes also need to be punished."
Madam Qi held out her hand, her mouth wide open in surprise. "Master, what do you mean by that? The Emperor has already deposed Yunfeng from the throne, isn't that punishment?"
Duke Qi shook his head. "That's the public payment. Privately, we need to pay another 300,000 taels to settle this matter. We must make sure the Emperor has no grudge against our family. Otherwise, every time the Emperor sees the eldest princess, he will bear a grudge against Duke Qi's Mansion."
"Qi Yunfeng first lost two hundred thousand taels of silver in a bet, and now he needs another three hundred thousand taels of silver to make up for his mistake. Nearly half of the Duke's Mansion's wealth has disappeared in his hands. If he doesn't just get rid of himself and be expelled from the family, will he stay and continue to cause trouble for our Duke's Mansion?"
"And just now Yunfeng said that you were the one who killed Yunqing's mother, Concubine Su. It turns out that Concubine Wang was just a scapegoat. You have killed the descendants many times and killed Concubine Su. Duke Qi's mansion can no longer keep you."
After saying this, Duke Qi seemed to feel much more relieved, because many of Madam Qi's children in his backyard were killed, and only Qi Yunqing, a bastard, survived.
He always remembered the affection for his legitimate son Qi Yunfeng, and just warned Madam Qi and was more tolerant of her. He didn't expect that in the end he would hurt her and himself.
"For the sake of our long-standing friendship, you don't have to worry about the huge amount of money Qi Yunfeng has made. You can take your dowry and leave."
Duke Qi left after saying this, and later asked his deputy general to deliver the divorce letter and the letter of severance of the relationship with Qi Yunfeng.
Madam Qi was unwilling to give in, but the deputy general said that if she did not agree to the divorce, then he would bring everything she had done to court.
Madam Qi was afraid, so she took Qi Yunfeng, who was driven out, back to the house that was her dowry. As long as Qi Yunfeng was there, how could she and the Qi family break off completely?
As long as she pays a high price, someone will be willing to kill that little bastard Qi Yunqing for her.
By then, her son would be the only bloodline of Duke Qi, and it would be unreasonable for the emperor to not allow her son to be the crown prince.
Qi Yunfeng and Fangfei's three children were naturally sent to Madam Qi.
Duke Qi looked at the deserted Duke's Mansion. Now he only had one son, Qi Yunqing.
But Qi Yunqing is 25 years old, and he always refuses to marry her every time we talk about him getting married. Now we can't let him do it anymore. Even if we tie him up, he has to marry a wife for the Duke's Mansion and leave descendants, otherwise the family will be extinct.
But he must be very cautious when marrying this time. Qi Yunfeng was wrong in the previous incident, but the daughter of a royal family also made Duke Qi a little scared.
This time when he was choosing a wife for Qi Yunqing, he would just choose one from a small family.
After Qi Yunqing finished his shift and delivered the latest delicious crabs to the Princess's Mansion, before he returned to Duke Qi's Mansion, he heard from passers-by that Duke Qi had already called all the matchmakers in the city into his house.
He tightened the knife at his waist, deciding to put on armor before meeting Duke Qi.
